1LOCATION: Previous Restored World, Old Stronghold of Sacrifice
26시대 Vildred: As expected, the soldiers are already worn out.
36시대 Vildred: I don't think they can even fight these monsters, let alone break through to the Sanctuary.
4Ras: ...It was unavoidable. It hasn't been that long since the last war.
5Ras: Now that we know the Archdemon that we sacrificed so many lives to defeat wasn't even the Archdemon himself but just a part of him...
6Aki: I see your point. The situation now is definitely more desperate than last time. But in times like this, we need to encourage them, don't you think?
7Aki: Protecting our one and only world--that's our duty. Don't you agree, Vildred?
86시대 Vildred: The word "duty" feels a little too heavy for me, since I'm not even an Heir. Rather than that...
96시대 Vildred: I just want to prove that the deaths of my comrades were not in vain.
10Aki: It's true, many people lost their lives during the war... But don't worry. No matter what, we still have the Heir of the Covenant by our side.
11Aki: And Ras and I have already defeated the Archdemon once before. I'm sure it'll be no problem this time too.
12Aki: What do you say, Ras?
13Ras: ...You're right. Many were sacrificed for one noble reason. To protect this world.
14Ras: But if we don't stop the Archdemon, then all their sacrifices will be in vain.
15Ras: To prevent that from happening, we must stop the Archdemon again. And...
16Ras: ...Only the three of us can do it. We carry the will of those who gave up their lives.
17Aki: Yes, let's destroy the Archdemon and get back to Ezera.
18Aki: A fifty-year old bottle of Dilveranc is waiting for me! And that baby was an expensive one!
196시대 Vildred: How can you talk about alcohol at a time like this...?
206시대 Vildred: Anyway, first, I'll evacuate the injured. We'll lose them if we don't have their wounds treated.
21Aki: Alright. Come back as soon as possible. No slacking!
226시대 Vildred: ...
23Aki: Hmm, if we fail to defeat all those monsters...
24Aki: We'll fail this world, won't we?
25Ras: ...Aki. I know what you're thinking. But I hope that you won't make that decision.
26Aki: Of course. But if...if that time ever comes, you know...
276시대 Vildred: It's been longer than I thought. Luckily, the invasion hasn't begun yet.
286시대 Vildred: Ras, where did Aki...?
29Student Voice: Master! Are you really going to let Aki do what he wants?!
306시대 Vildred: What Aki wants...?
31Ras: He would do anything for Orbis. Since I know how much he cherishes this world...I can't stop him.
32Ras: Although it may not be the best decision, I just want to respect his choice.
33알카서스2: I understand. But remember, once an Heir dies, they...
34Student Voice: Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
35알카서스2: Are they here already?
36Ras: Come, Arkasus! Let's save this world and all its people once more.
37Ras: I...I'm tired of seeing this world die.
38알카서스2: Gotcha, Master!
396시대 Vildred: ...I didn't mean to, but I accidentally overheard them.
406시대 Vildred: What Aki wants and an Heir's death... I wonder what they were talking about.
416시대 Vildred: More than anything, his last comment is bothering me the most.
426시대 Vildred: "I'm tired of seeing this world die..." What could he possibly mean?
436시대 Vildred: ...Ras, what are you hiding from us?
44CHAPTER: CHARACTER STORY
45
46One Blade, One Truth
47LOCATION: Ezera Frontier, Vildred's Mansion, Annex
48Vildred: Hmm, the investigation hasn't turned up anything useful...
49Vildred: Decades ago...after we sealed the Archdemon and the war ended, I traveled all over Ritania.
50Vildred: To figure out if the memory...no, the experience that Acolyte Kayron showed me was true.
51Vildred: I've been trying to find evidence that proves this world has been destroyed and restored over and over again.
52Vildred: But the only things I've found so far are old, insignificant documents...
53Student Voice: Sir Vildred, you're here once again.
54Vildred: ...I told you not to disturb me unless something important came up.
55Student Voice: I remember that, sir. But I thought you should see this.
56Vildred: A letter with the Ezeran royal seal on it... Is this from Sir Charles again?
57Student Voice: Yes, sir. This time he sent his lieutenant as well.
58Student Voice: The lieutenant insisted on meeting you himself, but I sent him back.
59Vildred: ...Very well. Leave it on the table.
60Student Voice: You're going to burn it again without even reading it, aren't you?
61Vildred: That's none of your business.
62Student Voice: ...Sir, it's already been quite some time since you isolated yourself. You haven't returned to the castle in years.
63Student Voice: And strange rumors have begun to spread among the people.
64Vildred: Haha, rumors... Let's hear it, what do people say about me?
65Student Voice: Some say you were severely injured in the Archdemon War, and some say you've been locked up in a dungeon for committing a grave crime.
66Student Voice: That's not all. Those are more like jokes compared to this one. Do you want to know what it is?
67Student Voice: They say you've sided with the Archdemon and are plotting something.
68Vildred: ...
69Student Voice: Honestly, I don't know what you're thinking anymore, sir. How long are you going to live like this?
70Vildred: Hahaha... So tell me. Which of those rumors do you think people believe the most? That I'm injured? Or locked in a dungeon? 
71Vildred: Or...that I've sided with the Archdemon?
72Student Voice: ...One way or another, the truth will come out. However, one must decide whether or not they will accept this truth.
73Student Voice: The wise find a silver lining even in the darkness, but most people... Most people let the darkness devour them.
74Student Voice: This old man wishes only that you will make a wise decision.
75Vildred: Don't worry too much... Everything will be over soon.
76Student Voice: ...Please pardon me if I crossed a line. I'll take my leave now.
77Student Voice: Hmph, what's with that look? I've never seen you make that face before. Now you've begun to feel pressure?
78Vildred: You again?! Get out of my head!
79Kayron: Isn't it time to accept it? When are you going to stop living like this, buried underneath these useless documents?
80Kayron: When are you going to stop denying the truth?
81Vildred: Hahaha! The truth? What's the truth? Don't underestimate me. I'm the one who will decide what to believe.
82Vildred: You can't force me to believe anything!
83Kayron: *chuckling* How foolish. But I suppose allowing you to realize it on your own is fine after all. Because as soon as your hope dies, and the shadow of despair falls over you...
84Kayron: ...You'll come looking for me anyway.
85Vildred: ...Dammit!
86Vildred: I'm not done yet. There's still one last place that I haven't searched.
87Vildred: A place that the data I've collected so far is pointing toward. I'm sure what I'm looking for will be there.
88Vildred: It...has to be. Otherwise...
896시대 Vildred: Ack...! I'm not done yet... Just one more step, and I can...!
90Kayron: How reckless of you, trying to stop me again... I won't spare you any longer!
916시대 Vildred: *chuckling* I'm not afraid. I made the decision to give up my life for this world long ago.
926시대 Vildred: Ras, now! While I've got him!
93Ras: But you'll die if I do!
946시대 Vildred: I don't care. If we don't defeat him now, he'll bring ruin to this world...
956시대 Vildred: So come on, this is the only way to save the world!
96Kayron: Ack... Heir of the Covenant. You're trying to protect the world with countless sacrifices once again.
976시대 Vildred: Good...job. Ras... Go to the Sanctuary...and save the world...
98Ras: ...
99Kayron: You...gave up on this world, didn't you?
100Kayron: Yet you continue to allow these foolish Heirs and soldiers to risk their lives to save it.
1016시대 Vildred: What? What does that...?
102Kayron: This world, kept alive through the sacrifices of so many... How meaningful do you truly believe it is?
103Kayron: The contemptible Heir of the Covenant. I look forward to hearing your answer in the next world. *chuckling*
104Ras: ...Vildred.
1056시대 Vildred: Ras... Answer me. What is all this about...? He said you gave up on this world. Then why are you letting people die like this...?
106Ras: I'm so sorry, Vildred. I can't tell you anything...but please trust me.
107Ras: Everything I've done, I've done for Orbis.
108Kayron: So you were hiding underground this whole time, Heir of the Covenant.
109Ras: What are you doing here?! Does that mean the Heirs...?
110Kayron: No need to be surprised. That battle of death and madness is still raging up on the surface.
111Kayron: ...But not for much longer. Because I'm about to kill the world's last hope!
1126시대 Vildred: I won't let you!
113Kayron: ...Well, well. Your faithful dog is here too.
1146시대 Vildred: Hmph, keep talking, before you run for your dear life as always.
115Kayron: I see that arrogant nature of yours hasn't changed. But today...things will be different.
1166시대 Vildred: We'll see about that!
117Ras: This energy... It doesn't feel like the Kayron I used to know. His power feels somehow stronger...!
118Ras: No, Vildred! Stay away from him!
1196시대 Vildred: Blade Ascent!
120Kayron: ...Ah, that's nothing.
1216시대 Vildred: How did he block my attack so easily...?!
122Kayron: I possess the power of the Archdemon. Now, it's time for you to kneel before me.
1236시대 Vildred: Ack... This power is overwhelming...
124Kayron: Only the Heir of the Covenant, who possesses the power of the Goddess, can cut me down.
125Kayron: Meaning that, no matter how strong you are...you're merely an ordinary, unworthy Human to me.
126Ras: ...Vildred. I've got this. Leave it to me and Arky.
1276시대 Vildred: Dammit, am I...just a burden? ...No, as long as I have the energy to hold a sword...
128Kayron: Haha! Allow me to present you with an endless despair. Behold the final moments of this world!
129Kayron: That's the only choice you have!
130LOCATION: Scattered Garden, Hidden Location
131Vildred: This tombstone doesn't hold any supposed truth of the world. Only proverbs the sage left behind...
132Vildred: What have I been doing for all these years...? What was it all for?
133Vildred: Does this mean I'll never know whether or not Kayron was telling me the truth?
134Kayron: You appear quite disappointed that your final hope was fruitless.
135Vildred: ...Are you here just to make fun of me? Fine, you were right.
136Vildred: I've searched everywhere...but I couldn't find a single document on the destruction and restoration of the world.
137Vildred: Do you understand what that means? It proves that what you've shown me was nothing more than an illusion.
138Kayron: It's not proof that I was wrong.
139Vildred: Shut up. I won't...let you mess with me anymore.
140Vildred: So get out of my sight, now!
141Kayron: If that's what you really want, I'll go. But listen to the voice deep inside your heart. Are you really satisfied?
142Kayron: What are you going to do about your mistrust of the Goddess and the Heir of the Covenant?
143Vildred: Enough. I promised myself that if I didn't find the answer I wanted this time, I would give up and go back to Ezera.
144Kayron: *chuckling* Do you really believe that's what you want?
145Kayron: If you were going to give up this easily, you wouldn't have wandered the continent for so long.
146Kayron: You would have returned to Ezera, firm belief in the Goddess intact, and prepared for the upcoming Archdemon War.
147Kayron: But you didn't. Why?
148Vildred: ...
149Kayron: I know the answer. It's because, when faced with a question that shakes the very core of your beliefs...
150Kayron: ...You're the type of person who cannot move forward before finding a convincing answer.
151Kayron: Therefore, in response to your call--your desperate search for even the slightest clue...
152Kayron: ...I have descended.
153Vildred: ...Yes, maybe you're right. The unrest inside me has grown larger.
154Vildred: I...don't even know what to do anymore, or what to believe.
155Vildred: So how do you plan to put an end to this growing unrest of mine?
156Vildred: Are you going to persuade and delude me with cryptic words again?
157Kayron: No, I won't. This time, you're going to choose what to believe.
158Kayron: Come with me, I'll show you everything you wanted to know.
159LOCATION: Breezy Plain, Azure Shriek Temple
160Vildred: ...How come I've never heard of this place before?
161Kayron: Oh, I nearly forgot you can talk. You seemed lost in quite agonizing thought. 
162Vildred: ...
163Kayron: And it's no wonder. Hardly anybody knows about this place.
164Kayron: This is one of the hidden paths to the Sanctuary.
165Vildred: So you have something to show me here?
166Student Voice: I can trust you, because you're as good as us Heirs.
167Vildred: Ack... I hear that voice in my head again...
168Kayron: Ha! It seems that the first experience I showed you has awakened the rage and doubt within your soul.
169Kayron: You no longer need my guidance.
170Student Voice: So please take care of the Heir of the Covenant, Vildred.
171LOCATION: Previous Restored World, Azure Shriek Temple
1726시대 Vildred: The battle must have begun on the ground.
1736시대 Vildred: The Heirs are keeping them distracted for now, but soon the Acolytes will notice that you're gone.
174Ras: Yes, and the longer we take, the more lives we're likely to lose. We must hurry to the Sanctuary.
175LOCATION: Breezy Plain, Scattered Garden
176Vildred: I feel like I'm walking in circles. As expected, this is no ordinary forest.
177Vildred: But according to the map, I should arrive there soon. And there, I'll be able to find...
178Vildred: ...The truth of this world, hidden by the sage so long ago.
179Vildred: Hopefully it can alleviate this...deep mistrust I have.
180갈구의 카이데스: *growling*...!
181Vildred: Somehow I seem to attract Undead and Demons wherever I go.
182Vildred: Maybe it's due to the power of the Archdemon flowing inside me...
183LOCATION: Previous Restored World, Old Stronghold of Sacrifice
184Aki: Dammit, this is never going to end. Is every monster on Orbis here?
185Aki: It feels like they're trying to hold us back. At this rate, we won't be able to reach the Sanctuary.
186Ras: Vildred will be back soon. I'm sure we can make it if we focus and work together.
1876시대 Vildred: Raaaarghh!
188갈구의 스토마쿠스: Tsssssss...!
1896시대 Vildred: I'm not too late, am I?
190Aki: Hmph, you're earlier than I expected. I thought you'd have a relaxing break and take a nap before you came back.
1916시대 Vildred: ...Again, I cannot believe you. How can you make fun of me in this situation? Guess those fights didn't take any energy out of you.
1926시대 Vildred: Anyway, Ras, I have a question for you. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but earlier...
193Skeleton Shaman: H...Here you are... The Heir of the Covenant...
194Ras: A Dust Walker?
195Ras: Ack...!
196Kayron: Impressive. Even in this condition, you blocked my attack. You're as skilled as ever, Heir of the Covenant.
197Kayron: But soon the Archdemon will descend upon this land. In other words, it's our victory this time.
198Ras: It's too early to predict, Kayron. As long as we have even a little bit of hope, we won't give up.
199Kayron: Haha, but how long do you think that hope of yours will last?
200Skeleton Shaman: Krrrrrrrr...!
2016시대 Vildred: How shameless! They're using the sacrificed soldiers as Dust Walkers.
202Aki: Is it just me or has the whole situation actually gotten worse?
2036시대 Vildred: ...If I use my full strength, I'll be able to break through the defense line for a short moment.
2046시대 Vildred: Meanwhile, Aki, head to the Sanctuary with Ras. And stop the Archdemon.
205Aki: Well, that's an idea...but I refuse. This is not something that can be solved by sacrificing yourself.
2066시대 Vildred: Don't worry about me. Just focus on saving the world...
207Aki: All I need is a few seconds. Earn me some time, and then I'll try to use the Spirit power infused in this gauntlet.
2086시대 Vildred: I thought that was only possible during an eclipse.
209Aki: I'm not certain, but what's the harm in giving it a shot, right?
2106시대 Vildred: Very well. I'll deal with the Dust Walkers. Hurry!
211Aki: ...The time has come.
212Aki: ...And it worked.
2136시대 Vildred: The Strak Gauntlet is out of control...?
2146시대 Vildred: Wait, this is what you meant?! Stop right now, or else...!
215Aki: Yes, I'll die. But listen, Vildred. I learned something from the last time we fought the Archdemon.
216Aki: I learned that...we can't save this world without sacrifices.
217Aki: I've known since then that I would be the next.
2186시대 Vildred: Without you, Ras has to face the Archdemon by himself. Have you forgetten that?
219Aki: What do you mean by himself? You'll be there. I guess you haven't noticed, but sometimes you're stronger than the Heirs when faced with dangerous situations.
220Aki: And I hate to admit this, but...you're the person that Ras trusts the most.
221Aki: So I believe that you two can stop the Archdemon...even without me.
222Student Voice: *rumbling*
223Aki: I can sense the dark energy of the Archdemon. We're running out of time, I need to go now.
2246시대 Vildred: I never said I'm okay with--
225Skeleton Shaman: Grrrrrrrrrr!
2266시대 Vildred: Ack...! What awful timing... Get off of me, you damn skeletons!
227Aki: I'm so glad I had a friend who truly understands me. I'll leave it to you guys now. Oh! And...
228Aki: ...You can have my fifty-year old Dilveranc. I hid it in the cupboard.
229Aki: As I told you already, that baby's expensive. Try not to drink it all at once.
2306시대 Vildred: Stop! I said stop, Aki!
231알카서스2: Master, Kayron's power is getting stronger.
232Ras: Yeah, this energy... It's definitely the power of the Archdemon.
233Kayron: Hmph, is that all you're capable of? Now it's time to put an end to this...
234Kayron: Wait, this flame... Could it be the one who incapacitated the Archdemon last time?
235Ras: Aki, so you've decided to...
236Kayron: Forward, Dust Walkers! Stop him!
237Aki: Do you seriously think your silly, little skeletons are enough to stop me and my flames? You're not very bright, are you?
238Kayron: You fool, do you really think you can defeat me and my Dust Walkers without the help of the eclipse?
239Aki: Hmph, apparently, you don't know much about my Strak Gauntlet. An eclipse isn't the only way to unleash its full power.
240Kayron: Ack...! S-So powerful... How?!
241Aki: Ras, I don't need to spell it out for you, do I? You won't have long. Go to the Sanctuary with Vildred, and...you know what to do next, right?
242Ras: ...Okay, Aki. I'll save this world no matter what it takes.
243Aki: I'll be honest. I'm not quite happy with the fact that you're my companion to the afterlife.
244Aki: But I guess it can't be helped. Anyway, I'll have to use this powerful flame to create a grand finale before I go. So get ready... 
245Aki: ...To witness the power of Malicus! I'll burn you to ashes!
246LOCATION: Previous Restored World, Old Stronghold of Sacrifice Outskirts
2476시대 Vildred: Ras, did you know about Aki's decision?
248Ras: Yes.
2496시대 Vildred: Then why didn't you stop him!?
250Ras: ...After the last time we defeated the Archdemon, Aki was overcome with sorrow for a long time, thinking of all the Heirs who died while he lived on.
251Ras: But in the end, he came to understand that their sacrifice was for the sake of the entire world.
252Ras: And so he believed that he must do the same for the next Archdemon War.
2536시대 Vildred: So what you're saying is...even though you knew everything he was thinking all this time, you let it happen?
254Ras: Yes, but that was Aki's own decision. And I wanted to respect his choice.
255Ras: And most importantly, nothing matters more than protecting Orbis. Aki's choice to sacrifice himself was inevitable.
2566시대 Vildred: ...Yes, this world is more important than anything else. It's all over once the world is gone.
2576시대 Vildred: But I must ask you this. Ras Elclare, what are your comrades to you...?
2586시대 Vildred: Don't tell me you see them as tools that you can sacrifice as you please to protect the world.
259Ras: ...
2606시대 Vildred: And you're clearly hiding something from everyone. 
2616시대 Vildred: You said, "I'm tired of seeing this world die." What did you mean by that?
2626시대 Vildred: ...Tell me the truth.
263Ras: I'm afraid I can't tell you that. But I want to make one thing clear.
264Ras: To me, you guys are...
265LOCATION: Breezy Plain, Old Stronghold of Sacrifice
266Vildred: ...
267Kayron: You don't appear to be pleased.
268Vildred: ...So what happened to that world?
269Kayron: I was defeated before the end by an Heir, so I was unable to see for myself exactly what happened... But the mere fact that this world exists seems to be an answer to your question.
270Vildred: Aki, the Heir who was blessed by the Spirit Lord Malicus. I've never even heard his name before.
271Vildred: If, as you say, this world continues to be destroyed and restored over and over again, how come he doesn't exist in the current one?
272Kayron: Haha, there you go. I've been waiting for a question like this. It's simple.
273Kayron: When the world comes to ruin, Diche restores Orbis to its state from a certain point in the past.
274Kayron: But...Heirs are not included.
275Vildred: Why?
276Kayron: Well, how am I to know what's in her mind?
277Vildred: So in other words, Heirs disappear forever if they die. Are they...aware of that?
278Kayron: No, they're not. Only the Goddess, the Heir of the Covenant, and the Guardians know.
279Kayron: So that they may use the Heirs as they please.
280갈구의 스토마쿠스: Krrraang!
2816시대 Vildred: Ras, watch out!
282갈구의 스토마쿠스: Krrrrrrr...
2836시대 Vildred: What are you thinking? You've been spacing out! That was dangerous!
284Ras: I'm sorry, Vildred. It feels like I owe you so much.
2856시대 Vildred: I mean, it can't be helped. The Heirs asked me to take good care of the clumsy Heir of the Covenant.
2866시대 Vildred: So I have to keep the promise I made.
287Ras: They said I'm clumsy...? Is that how I come off?
2886시대 Vildred: Well, there are other reasons I need to take care of you. You're the only one who can defeat the Archdemon, after all.
2896시대 Vildred: Since you're our only hope of restoring peace, of course you need to be protected. So you don't owe me anything.
2906시대 Vildred: I would gladly risk my life to protect you, even if it means I die.
291Ras: Yes. If we can defeat the Archdemon, there will be peace. But...
2926시대 Vildred: What's with that face? 
293Ras: ...Nothing. Let's go, we don't have time to waste like this.
2946시대 Vildred: I assume even the Heir of the Covenant feels pressure.
2956시대 Vildred: But I think there was something he was about to tell me... Maybe it was my imagination.
296LOCATION: Breezy Plain, Wanderer's Hill
297Vildred: Are you saying that letting people die and allowing the world to end is the right thing to do...?
298Vildred: Everyone has been counting on you, Ras. How can you say such a thing?
299Vildred: ...Kayron, let me ask you one thing. What I just experienced... Is this what really happened in the past?
300Vildred: I mean, can you guarantee that what I experienced is not just an illusion that you created?
301Kayron: ...Don't you already know that this is a stupid question?
302Kayron: Are you going to believe what I say, no matter what?
303Vildred: That's...
304Kayron: If not, you should decide for yourself...
305Kayron: ...Whether it's true or false. Wasn't that what you really wanted?
306Vildred: ...
307Kayron: Hmph. I guess you need some time to organize your thoughts.
308Vildred: He's right. It's up to me to judge what he says.
309Vildred: Based on what I've experienced so far, what Kayron said to me wasn't wrong.
310Vildred: The Heir of the Covenant...is deceiving everyone, sacrificing us all in an endless war.
311Vildred: He's hiding the truth from everyone.
312Vildred: ...Maybe it's all an illusion created by Kayron to make me mistrust the Heir of the Covenant.
313Vildred: But the rage and pain inside me is growing more and more vivid.
314Vildred: ...
315Vildred: What if everything I saw was the truth? If it was, then...what should I do?
316Vildred: ...
317Kayron: Based on the look on your face, I guess you've finally made up your mind.
318Vildred: Yes. What I felt throughout the experience was vivid rage and pain.
319Vildred: But when I suppressed those feelings and slowly retraced my memories, one image kept coming to mind.
320Vildred: Even though he's been hiding the truth from us, the Heir of the Covenant kept trying to tell me something.
321Vildred: So after careful consideration, I came to this conclusion.
322Vildred: Over the course of the repeated destruction and restoration of the world... I'm certain he tried to tell me the truth.
323Kayron: You're talking in circles, but I assume you still want to believe in the Heir of the Covenant.
324Vildred: ...Yes.
325Kayron: Well... Let's find out what his real intentions were.
326Kayron: I hope you don't change your mind.
327LOCATION: The Sixth Restored World, Sanctuary Outskirts
328Ras: There are monsters everywhere. It seems like Archdemon Anghraf will appear soon.
3296시대 Vildred: You're right, let's keep going. Kise and Ruele are waiting up ahead.
330Ras: *panting*
3316시대 Vildred: Ras, are you okay? Don't push yourself too hard. You're going to faint before we even get to the Sanctuary.
332Ras: I'm alright, Vildred. I can handle this.
3336시대 Vildred: The Acolytes aren't even here yet, you must save your energy.
3346시대 Vildred: I mean, I'm always ready to risk my life to save you and the Heirs.
335Ras: No, don't say that. I don't want to lose anyone this time...
3366시대 Vildred: This time...? What do you mean?
337Ras: Ha...haha... Nothing, it was a slip of the tongue. I guess I'm too nervous about fighting the Archdemon.
3386시대 Vildred: ...Nice try. You're hiding something from me again.
339Ras: ...
3406시대 Vildred: ...I once thought of you as only the Heir of the Covenant, the person who would save our world.
3416시대 Vildred: But as we overcame countless hardships together, I came to think of you as a friend.
3426시대 Vildred: And ever since then, I started to see what I couldn't see before. And I realized that you've been hiding something.
343Ras: I'm not hiding anything.
3446시대 Vildred: You're not being honest with me. Is it because I'm not an Heir, or...I'm not someone you can trust?
345Ras: ...That's not it. It's just... Sometimes you're better off not knowing the truth.
3466시대 Vildred: But even so, you don't have to carry the burden all by yourself. You should share with...
347Ras: No, this is my problem. I can't...no, I don't want to share this burden.
348Ras: I won't tell this to anyone...not even to the Heirs.
349Ras: So please, don't ask any more questions.
3506시대 Vildred: ...
351Ruele of Light: Kise! I was right! They're here!
352Ruele of Light: What's taking you so long? We've been waiting for you guys for ages!
353Ruele of Light: Hmm, what's going on here? I feel a weird tension between you two. Did you guys have a fight?
354Ras: ...Sorry, we got delayed getting rid of monsters on the way here.
355Ras: Let's go. The Archdemon's main forces will soon be here.
356Ruele of Light: Huh...? R-Ras, wait for us!
357Judge Kise: Vildred. What happened between you and Ras?
3586시대 Vildred: ...No, it's nothing.
359Judge Kise: I won't pry if you don't want to talk about it.
360Judge Kise: But...maybe you shouldn't ask Ras any further questions either.
3616시대 Vildred: Did you hear everything?
362Judge Kise: Yes, we did. Although Ruele said we should pretend we didn't...
363Judge Kise: You're right. The Heir of the Covenant... He's hiding something from us. But I trust him to tell you everything one day.
364Judge Kise: But now isn't the right time, so let's be patient with him. It won't be too late to hear his story after we've saved the world.
365Judge Kise: Since you said you think of Ras as your friend, you can wait a little longer, right?
3666시대 Vildred: ...If you say so, then alright.
367Judge Kise: Hmph, you're still frowning. Don't worry, if Ras still doesn't say anything after that...
368Judge Kise: ...Ruele and I will nag him and make sure he tells you everything.
3696시대 Vildred: Haha, thanks. That's very reassuring.
370Judge Kise: Now, let's get going. Ras and Ruele are waiting for us.
3716시대 Vildred: She's right, there must be a reason why Ras can't tell me anything yet.
3726시대 Vildred: Let's just wait and give him some time. He's the Heir of the Covenant and...my friend.
373LOCATION: The Sixth Restored World, Sanctuary Gate
3746시대 Vildred: Alright, looks like everyone's made it to the Sanctuary. Now, come!
3756시대 Vildred: Archdemon, Acolytes, monsters! Vildred, General of Ezera, is waiting for you!
376LOCATION: Breezy Plain, Old Stronghold of Sacrifice
377Vildred: This is a place where the Ezeran army has no presence...
378Vildred: I think you're safe to reveal yourself. There's no one else around.
379Kayron: Oh? Look at you, now you're being nice to me. I'm a little surprised.
380Vildred: Quit speaking nonsense. Why did you bring me here?
381Kayron: Didn't I just tell you? I'm going to show you proof of the truth you refuse to believe.
382Kayron: This is a very meaningful place.
383Kayron: This is where the seeds of your wrath and doubt were planted.
384Vildred: ...
385Kayron: Of course, you wouldn't know anything.
386Vildred: I still don't fully trust you. And yet I followed you here...
387Vildred: ...Because I won't let mistrust control me any longer.
388Vildred: So...you'd better not think you can manipulate me.
389Kayron: Hmph. I'm just leading you to the truth.
390Kayron: I'm not going to force you to believe anything. Now, shall we begin?
391Kayron: I hope you won't allow the truth to weigh you down.
392Vildred: Ack...! My head...
393Student Voice: I wasn't expecting the Archdemon's main forces to attack the castle so soon.
394Vildred: Huh...? This voice...?!
395Student Voice: Watch out, Vildred!
396LOCATION: Previous Restored World, Old Stronghold of Sacrifice
3976시대 Vildred: Don't worry, I can handle this.
3986시대 Vildred: Dancing Blade!
399갈구의 스토마쿠스: Krrraang!
400Student Voice: That's...me. And evidently, I'm fighting monsters. But who's the person next to me...?
4016시대 Vildred: Save your strength for the greater task, Heir of the Covenant. I'll deal with the monsters.
402Ras: The number of monsters is growing. In other words...the Archdemon will soon descend upon this world.
403Ras: It's not the right time to save my strength. We must break through the Archdemon's main forces and go straight to the Sanctuary.
404Ras: If we don't, this world will...
405갈구의 카이데스: Krrrrrrr...
406Student Voice: Alright, then. What are you waiting for? Let's go!
407갈구의 카이데스: Krrrrrrr...!
408Aki: Here he comes in a blaze of fire! Aki, the final Heir!
409Student Voice: I've never heard of an Heir who possesses the power of fire. And the Heir of the Covenant is awake...
410Student Voice: Is this the previous world that Kayron told me about?
411앙그라프의 분신: Grrrrrrr... 
4126시대 Vildred: Ha, you must be the only one left. Very well, I'll cut you in half!
413앙그라프의 분신: GRROOOAAARR!
4146시대 Vildred: Phew... That was close, but it looks like I'm still in one piece! I guess I'll head to the Sanctuary now...
415Vildred: Ack...! You're...Acolyte Kayron...!
416Kayron: You again, Vildred. It's always been like this. The Heir of the Covenant always uses you as bait whenever he's at risk.
417Vildred: What are you talking about...?!
418Kayron: Perhaps it's you who's suffered most in this world...
419Vildred: Ack...!
420Kayron: You aren't aware, but I can feel your soul engraved with wrath and agony...
421Kayron: Excellent. I think you're now qualified enough to escape from this vicious, painful cycle.
422Vildred: W-What are you doing to me...? And what is this power flowing into my body...!?
423Kayron: *chuckling* We'll meet again someday, Vildred. Until then...
424LOCATION: Breezy Plain, Wanderer's Hill
425Vildred: *chuckling* ...I see. So that's how it is. He never had any intention of telling me the truth.
426Vildred: He only wanted to use and sacrifice us in this endless cycle of despair...
427Kayron: And of course that ludicrous Goddess, unwilling to leave this world, is behind all this.
428Vildred: ...Does that mean that once Diche leaves, the Archdemon will no longer return?
429Kayron: Correct. That way, we can sever this painful chain of sacrifice once and for all.
430Kayron: And you, Vildred...
431Kayron: ...The person who suffered the most, standing by Ras's side all this time...
432Kayron: You are the only one who can end this.
433Aki: Protecting our one and only world--that's our duty. Don't you agree, Vildred?
434Ruele of Light: Hehe, today's rabbit fortune cookie is also super luck, so don't frown like that! I know the Heir of the Covenant will be able to save the world!
435Judge Kise: Though he may seem a little clumsy, I'm sure he'll be fine. He's the Heir of the Covenant after all.
436Ras: Thank you for trusting me and the Goddess, Vildred.
437Ras: You're the friend I trust the most.
438Vildred: Kayron, what world did I just see...?
439Kayron: That was the sixth restored world. The world that existed right before the current world.
440Vildred: So the world already went through six cycles of destruction and restoration before this, which makes this world the seventh.
441Kayron: Correct. Do you feel like you're a step closer to the "truth" that you've been seeking?
442Vildred: The truth... Well, the truth is no longer important to me.
443Vildred: Because...I don't trust anything anymore.
444Vildred: The only things true to me anymore...
445Vildred: ...Are these unmistakable feelings of hatred, rage, and resentment.
446Vildred: You said I'm the only one who can sever this painful chain of sacrifice?
447Vildred: Very well. I'll save everyone. I'll do anything, whatever it takes...
448Vildred: ...As long as I can prove them wrong in this seventh world.
449Vildred: Diche... Heir of the Covenant. Wait for me.
