Dialogue

Briefing

Shinjang Wait, I'm sensing an Imposter around us that's more dangerous than the others. Its energy... It's a Pureblood? Allen Grant Brother Shinjang, you Suju Exorcists have such impressive spiritual power. Grandis Gracia If there's a Pureblood, then there has to be a Dark Knight, too. Judy Ringwood That'll make our job easier. Come on, let's move.

In-Dungeon

(Upon entering the Boss Room) (As the Imperial Army party advances forward, a large demonic creature falls from the sky and blocks their path.) Grandis Gracia That's...! Chaos Follower Despero Are you seeking Despair? Hah hah hah. You'll never reach him. I'll cut you into pieces before you do! Grandis Gracia He looks more dangerous than before. He's gotten stronger, too. Chaos Follower Despero Mwa hah hah! Chaos is with me! Allen Grant Step back! (Despero unfurls his wings and releases a shockwave of green dark energy. The party quickly moves to avoid the attack and is pushed back.) Allen Grant Let's attack at once! (Upon defeating the Boss) Chaos Follower Despero Ugh... (A cloud of smoke appears beside Despero. From it, a familiar figure emerges.) Shinjang Midnight's Darkness! Chaos Follower Despero Midnight's Darkness...! You're back...! I won't hold you to account for what happened to Devastar. Now that Chaos is awakening, we are all His creatures... Let's punish those who try to stop His resurrection! Midnight's Darkness Creatures... (Midnight's Darkness pauses for a moment and mumbles a singular word upon hearing Despero's words.) Chaos Follower Despero What are you waiting for? (Midnight's Darkness turns toward Despero.) Chaos Follower Despero Yes, help me- (Midnight's Darkness harnesses his energy and suddenly turns his attack on Despero.) Chaos Follower Despero Kkkhhkkk...! What are you...? Midnight's Darkness I'm not Chaos's creature. I'm a god. I'll be the savior who will bring true redemption. For that, I need your help, Despero. Chaos Follower Despero Grr... You're trying to... (A vortex of energy emerges from Midnight's Darkness's arm. A bright light flashes, and Despero's body vanishes.) Grandis Gracia steal another Pureblood's power...! Allen Grant We can't let him do that! Midnight's Darkness Whew... It'll take a while for me to fully absorb his power. (Shinjang steps forward toward Midnight's Darkness.) Shinjang Midnight's Darkness, why...? Midnight's Darkness Why? It's not easy to attain power great enough to save the world. Sacrifices are inevitable. In the end, he'd be happy that his power was used for such a noble cause. Shinjang You're not even a human anymore. You let your ambition destroy you! (Shinjang readies an incantation, and a blue pentacle appears beneath Midnight's Darkness. The pentacle releases a blue vortex of wind and lightning, but is dispelled by the demonic creature ensnared within.) Bloodlust Midnight's Darkness I'm tired of dealing with your jealousy. You're not big enough a vessel to understand the truth I've learned. I'd love to teach it to you, but... I don't think I need to step in for the moment. Judy Ringwood Something's wrong! Look at the soldiers around us! (Grandis suddenly collapses.) Grandis Gracia My head is throbbing... Someone's whispering in my head... (The Adventurer collapses as well. A pulse emanates from the Adventurer's mind.) Adventurer Ugh... Bloodlust Midnight's Darkness Calling Jade has started speaking the oracles of Chaos. Let's see if you can handle them. Hah hah. (Midnight's Darkness leaps away.) Shinjang Adventurer! (The surroundings fade to black.) (The Adventurer awakens alone in a mysterious corridor to voice echoing in the wind.) ??? I'm your despair, fear... destruction... confusion... Open your eyes. You're not different from us. Tear apart the false truth and face Chaos. (The Adventurer continues down the corridor until an Imposter blocks their path.) Adventurer (If the Adventurer is not an Avenger / Mistress) Where am I? That's... an Imposter...? No... That's... me... (If the Adventurer is an Avenger / Mistress) This is... I became an Imposter... Then, that's me... ??? (If the Adventurer is a Male Priest) One who pursues false justice, face your inner self and accept the truth. (If the Adventurer is a Female Priest) One who has received stigmas, stop ignoring your inner self and accept the truth. (If the Adventurer is an Avenger / Mistress) Accept your destiny, recipient of Chaos's blood. Face your inner self. Adventurer (If the Adventurer is not an Avenger / Mistress) I remain strong in my faith. I'll never compromise with Chaos! (If the Adventurer is an Avenger / Mistress) Shut up! I'll never submit to you! (As the Adventurer defeats their Imposter double, a pulse changes their surroundings, followed by a bright light.) (The Adventurer awakes to the voice of Grandis.) Grandis Gracia [ Brother / Sister ]! (The Adventurer manages to get back on their feet.) Allen Grant Oh, dear God... You didn't ignore my prayers. Judy Ringwood Good, I've got many things to finish before I die by your hand. Shinjang Bah, we've sustained too much damage to celebrate this victory. Judy Ringwood Unlike you, our soldiers didn't go back to normal. We had no choice... Grandis Gracia Dear Lemidios, please relieve them from their pain.

Completion

Judy Ringwood I'm just as sad for their death as everyone else, but I must remind you that we don't have time to waste here. These soldiers died trying to protect the Empire. Allen Grant Understood. I don't mean to bring dishonor to them by taking pity on them. Grandis Gracia We must move forward to make sure they didn't die in vain. We need to protect the people on their behalf.

Notes

• To escape from the mysterious corridor, defeat your Imposter-self by counterattacking it three times.
