Complete Battle Quest Spearhead of the Paradise Lost.

(You've stopped the threatening machine.)
|
Brynn
|
...Looks like <Eira>'s attacks broke it. But don't relax just yet. I still feel the power manipulating this machine.
...This energy. I expected to feel it someday... It's the same as from that time, when we met that succubus, Selren.

Select 'Eweca?'
|
Brynn
|
Yes. No doubt about it. ...It seems that Eweca made a new turn.
|
|
Your head turns faster than I thought.
|
Brynn
|
It finally showed up. You. Who are you?
|
|
Hi! I am the Unspoken Witch that worships Balor, Talthia.
|
Brynn
|
This is... Telepathy.
So you're talking directly to our minds?
...Just great. First the Dreamer invites me to the dream... And now another one invites to play with puppets...
More than that, a self-proclaimed witch that speaks with telepathy... I guess the group gathered under Balor these days consists of circus members?
|
Ragnahim
|
You must be the magician that doesn't know when to shut up. I've heard about you from Selren.
|
Brynn
|
... I guess there's a talent for speaking through a puppet.
|
Ragnahim
|
I apologize for the puppet... A machine without an imperfect soul is the most perfect being in the world.
Compare it with that human a while ago as proof.
The one who died to Ragnahim's power... A foolish creature who released the seal under my guidance.
Calling for the Knights of God....
Manipulated by other humans' words stronger than by their own... Manipulated by emotions...
Manipulated by imperfect dogma... Manipulated by an imperfect god...
Even boasting about having a soul... All living things are just as imperfect.
In a sense, you too are a puppet.
|
Brynn
|
Then I don't understand.
What did you do so a member of the Silent Brotherhood would cooperate with you?
|
Ragnahim
|
It's just... I think he hated you.
I simply offered to give him the power to punish you. In a sense, wasn't that human easier to manipulate than Ragnahim's power?
|
Brynn
|
...Do you always use people like that and betray them at the end?
|
Ragnahim
|
Isn't betrayal arising when there are two opposing sides? All I've heard were the words of an imperfect shell of a human being.
|
Brynn
|
.... Then let me ask you something else. ...This machine you're controlling now.
This machine... Was it made for the invasion on Paradise?
|
Ragnahim
|
Yes.
This is a mechanical weapon, made for the fall of Paradise. The destroyer of Paradise, Ragnahim.
|
Brynn
|
So what is this facility?
|
Ragnahim
|
It was the place where Ragnahim was hidden during the war. There's no way you would leave your weapons for war in the open, wouldn't you?
|
Brynn
|
So it's a hiding place, used during the war of gods.
...I expected as much.
But I'm sorry. To think you would use that machine to deal with <Eira>...
And now it's in pieces.
|
Ragnahim
|
...... I think you're misunderstanding something.
|
Ragnahim
|
Look around, magician. What do you see?
...
|
Brynn
|
Ragnahim... remains?
No, this is...!
|
Ragnahim
|
You look enlightened. Ragnahim isn't alone. It's Ragnahim Corps.
What you've dealt with is... Is just one object of my army of Mages.
Also... Even if this much isn't enough for handling Nuadha's envoy... Will it be enough... against ordinary soldiers?
|
Brynn
|
Soldiers...? What do you mean "enough"?
|
Ragnahim
|
Oh... So you don't know.
Then it'd be best to see this girl. While you're taking your time here... The army you were waiting for... They're on the verge of freaking out right now.
|
Ragnahim
|
Now then... Our meeting is over. It's tiring to talk like this...
|
Brynn
|
Damn it! The power is gone!
<Eira>! We must go back! If that woman speaks the truth... Carmanu forces are at risk!
