Dialogue

Briefing

Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

Grandis is right. As the survivors, we have to fight, now with the burden of protecting the honor of those we lost. The weight on our shoulders is immense.
Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

This is the first war I've participated in, and I'm feeling this heavy sense of duty.
Judy-NFace1.png Judy Ringwood

Now, we have more of a reason to keep going. Let's keep looking for the Dark Knights.

In-Dungeon

(Upon entering the Dungeon)
Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

I'm sensing energy similar to Pureblood Despero's.
Judy-NFace1.png Judy Ringwood

I'm not as sensitive to the Imposter energy as the Archpriests, but I can feel the familiar energy of murder.
Grandis-NFace1.png Grandis Gracia

Energy similar to Pureblood Despero's... It has to be of Tiamat, one of the Three Dark Knights.
Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

I don't want to make a hasty conclusion, but whoever this is, he's incomparable to the Imposters we've met so far.

(Upon entering Room C1)
(As the Imperial Army party advances forward, a large demonic creature wielding a lance falls from the sky and blocks their path. As the figure rises, a red gleam of light shines through the green cloud of smoke.)

Tiamat-NFace2.png Approaching Despairing Tiamat

Finally, you came to me. You're sticking your necks out for the reaper.
Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

This time, we won't simply seal you away.
Tiamat-NFace2.png Approaching Despairing Tiamat

Hah hah hah. You want to fight me in this place full of Chaos's energy.

Okay, I'll show you how arrogant you are.

(Tiamat swings his lance and slams it on the ground as dark energy emanates from his body.)

(Upon clearing Room C1)

Tiamat-NFace2.png Approaching Despairing Tiamat
(If the Adventurer is not an Avenger / Mistress)

Adventurer, you're such a nuisance.

(If the Adventurer is an Avenger / Mistress)

What a shame! You've earned the power of Chaos, and yet you insist on walking the false path. You could easily become a Pureblood with that power.
Adventurer-NFace1.png Adventurer
(If the Adventurer is not an Avenger / Mistress)

I'm doing what I must.

(If the Adventurer is an Avenger / Mistress)

I don't want to be a Pureblood.
Tiamat-NFace2.png Approaching Despairing Tiamat

Forget honor. From now on, I'm going to do everything I can to get rid of you.
Judy-NFace1.png Judy Ringwood

Hah, are you trying to run away now?
Tiamat-NFace2.png Approaching Despairing Tiamat

Everything is for Chaos.
Grandis-NFace1.png Grandis Gracia

What are you trying to do?

(Tiamat's cloak wraps around him and he disappears.)

Judy-NFace1.png Judy Ringwood

Did he run away?
Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

No. I still feel his energy. This way!

(As the party follows suit, Grandis stops briefly and turns back.)

Grandis-NFace1.png Grandis Gracia

This... It's the same energy I felt in the tunnel...

No. What am I thinking at such an important moment?

(Upon entering Room B2)
(As the party advances, their surroundings change to that of a swamp.)

Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

Drat, where did he go? His traces are fading away.

(Suddenly, an Impsoter resembling a jellyfish appears behind the party.)

Trokka-NFace1.png Infiltrator Trokka

Ah, Despair, is this an opportunity you've granted to me?

Okay, I won't disappoint you.

(As the party is alerted to Trokka's presence, she vanishes into a cloud of bubbles and reappears before them.)

Judy-NFace1.png Judy Ringwood

Did he leave his soldiers behind to stall us for him? What a coward!

(Judy's remark agitates Trokka.)

Trokka-NFace1.png Infiltrator Trokka

Don't insult Despair. You'll die right here and now.

(An ominous mist fills the air, causing the party to collapse. Only Grandis remains on her feet.)

Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

Ugh... My strength...
Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

This is dangerous.
Grandis-NFace1.png Grandis Gracia

Lemidios, please listen to my prayer...

(Grandis readies a prayer, and green aura surrounds the party, enabling the Adventurer to get back on their feet.)

Trokka-NFace1.png Infiltrator Trokka

What are you doing?
Grandis-NFace1.png Grandis Gracia

Adventurer, only you and I can fight at this moment. Let's get rid of that Imposter first.

(Upon clearing Room B2)
(The defeated Trokka's body disperses into a cloud of bluish black smoke.)

Judy-NFace1.png Judy Ringwood

Ugh... I can barely lift my finger...
Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

I can't even raise myself. This fog is terrible.
Grandis-NFace1.png Grandis Gracia

I'm sorry. I want to help all of you, but...
Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

No. Focus your energy on the person who needs it the most.
Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

Wait. No...

Gah, it figures. I can feel Tiamat is close.
Judy-NFace1.png Judy Ringwood

This was a setup to get rid of us all at once.
Grandis-NFace1.png Grandis Gracia

We can't handle being attacked right now.
Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

[ Brother / Sister ], could you go stop Tiamat with Sister Grandis?
Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

No! That's too dangerous!
Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

Just keep him busy while we regroup. We'll join you soon.

I don't want to be rude or put you n danger, but I can't think of any other solution at this moment.
Grandis-NFace1.png Grandis Gracia

I agree with Brother Allen. If I can stop Tiamat before he reaches you, then I'll happily do it.
Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

Grandis, you're already straining. I can see that.
Grandis-NFace1.png Grandis Gracia

Don't worry, Shinjang. I'll be with the [ Brother / Sister ] here.

Let's go. Tiamat can be here already.

(Grandis runs ahead. The Adventurer pauses briefly looking at the rest of the party and follows suit.)

(Upon entering the Boss Room)
(The Adventurer and Grandis manage to catch up to Tiamat, much to his surprise.)

Tiamat-NFace2.png Approaching Despairing Tiamat

Are only the two of you left? So, the others did better than I expected.

He thinks everyone else is dead.

Good, let him. That's safer for the rest of-

(Grandis falls to the ground.)

Ugh!
Adventurer-NFace1.png Adventurer

Grandis!
Tiamat-NFace2.png Approaching Despairing Tiamat

Soon, there will be only one of you.

(In an instant, Tiamat reappears behind Grandis with his spear pointed at her back.)

Tiamat-NFace2.png Approaching Despairing Tiamat

Die.

(Suddenly, an unknown figure appears and pushes back Tiamat.)

Tiamat-NFace2.png Approaching Despairing Tiamat

Hah, Astaros's toy has managed to come this far.

(The figure moves in-between Tiamat and Grandis.)

You're... How...?

That's...!

(Nilvas!)
Nilvas-SFace2.png Nilvas Gracia

Grr... We have the [sic] common goal.
Tiamat-NFace2.png Approaching Despairing Tiamat

How arrogant! Show your respect to the Three Dark Knights!

(Tiamat plunges his lance into the ground as his cloak surrounds him. His figure arises, mounted upon a steed emitting bluish green flames.)

(Upon entering the Boss Room)
(Tiamat's steed vanishes as he collapses to the ground.)

Tiamat-NFace2.png Approaching Despairing Tiamat

Ugh... Chaos...

Returning this world... to chaos... No matter what...

(Tiamat's body dissipates into a cloud of blackish green smoke. From behind, the rest of the party arrives.)

Isn't he the Imposter from before? What is he up to?
Nilvas-SFace2.png Nilvas Gracia

Grr...

(The Imposter quickly makes his escape.)

Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

He ran away before I could ask him anything.

Sister Grandis has overstrained herself. For now, we should focus on regrouping instead of that Imposter.
Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

I followed the energy of the third Dark Knight, and it disappeared all of a sudden. Did you get rid of him?
Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

[ Brother / Sister ], you're so impressive. But you look exhausted now.

Now, it's time I step in.

(Allen mutters a prayer as a cross-shaped sigil appears behind him. White wings sprout from his back as he rises into the air, emitting a glowing light for a brief period. As he descends, Grandis is able to get back on her feet.)

Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

This...
Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

I'm sorry I couldn't do this earlier.
Judy-NFace1.png Judy Ringwood

Healing power like this has to cost a lot of energy. Of course, you reserved it for the worst situation.
Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

Thanks to you, we can move forward.

...That Imposter. This was the first time he really spoke.

I don't know why, but I've never heard his voice before and it feels... familiar.
