*Seria: So this is the Sacred Mt. Bari...
 	
*Seria: Guess we can't advance unless we climb this thing, huh?
 	
*Ark: Sacred Mt. Bari has stood here even before the Empire of Bariura was born.
*Ark: People would gather on this holy mountain to revere the gods.
*Ark: Even the name "Bariura" seems to pay respects to this mountain, as it means "the protector of Bari."
 	
*Lugina: Ark.
*Lugina: I could care less about that stuff.
*Lugina: Why are you making this longer than it needs to be?
*Lugina: Can't you just skip over the bits and pieces we don't need to hear?
 	
*Lugina: Continue with the story from earlier.
*Lugina: We got interrupted by that glowing ball of light, but how do you still plan to rescue your lover?
*Lugina: You're not gonna tell me you're giving up on her, right?
 	
*Ark: For her sake I have lived with my own shame for countless centuries.
*Ark: I will not give up on her now.
*Ark: Before I tell you more about her...
*Ark: ...you should know about the special powers Lucius holds.
 	
*Lugina: So you're not gonna give us the short version after all...
 	
*Seria: Can't you just shut up for a second and let him finish?
 	
*Lugina: You shut up.
*Lugina: I didn't come here to listen to a novel! Just get to the point!
 	
*Karl: Can you both be quiet, please?
 	
*Karl: Ark, I'm sorry about that. Please continue.
 	
*Ark: Lucius has the power to manipulate space.
*Ark: Not only can he open gates to the underworld, but his reach extends to other worlds as well.
*Ark: That is the power he used to seal Karna Masta...
*Ark: ...and to move humans to Elgaia.
*Ark: And in order to deal with the menace the Four Fallen Gods presented towards him...
*Ark: ...he decided to lead humans back to Grand Gaia.
 	
*Seria: So, he used the same power to seal away your lady friend, right?
 	
*Ark: Correct.
*Ark: But the biggest problem is...
*Ark: ...that Lucius is the only one that possesses this unique power.
 	
*Tilith: What?!
 	
*Ark: If you defeat Lucius, all of the gates will close.
*Ark: My love will never be able to come back to me.
*Ark: That's what I kept thinking to myself.
 	
*Paris: Which means that the gate connecting Elgaia to Grand Gaia would close.
 	
*Tilith: Umm, excuse me...
 	
*Ark: That's not all.
*Ark: Karna Masta had named Lucius as his right hand...
*Ark: ...because he holds the power to unleash many calamities upon the world that are currently sealed.
 	
*Seria: So if we defeat him, the seal will break and the disasters will overrun the world...
 	
*Tilith: Can-Can I say something really quick?
 	
*Seria: But if that's really the case...
*Seria: ...then we can't defeat Lord Lucius now, can we?!
 	
*Tilith: Hey, will you guys listen to me for a second?!
 	
*Seria: Ugh, what is it Tilith?! What do you want?!
 	
*Tilith: I can manipulate the gates too, just a little bit...
 	
*Seria: Stop with the nonsense!
*Seria: Why would you be able to use an ability completely unique to Lord Lucius?
 	
*Tilith: I'm telling the truth!
*Tilith: Seria, when you were injured I took you all the way to Elgaia, didn't I?!
 	
*Seria: Didn't you use Lord Lucius's gate to do that?
 	
*Tilith: No!
*Tilith: That takes time that we didn't have back then.
 	
*Karl: I see. So that's why.
 	
*Lugina: Psh, how convenient.
 	
*Seria: What?! What do you mean by that?
 	
*Karl: The reason why Ark has decided to rebel against Lord Lucius...
*Karl: ...is because the Goddess also has powers to manipulate space.
 	
*Seria: Huh?
 	
*Ark: Correct.
*Ark: Tilith, your existence is my...no, our only hope for humanity.
 	
*Tilith: Whaaaat?! You can't just throw something like that at me!
 	
*Ark: I have no idea of how gods come to into being.
*Ark: However, disciples are beings that are born spontaneously.
*Ark: Each of them is born with different abilities.
*Ark: And among them, only one was born with powers similar to those of Lucius.
*Ark: Tilith, I'm referring to you.
 	
*Tilith: Oh...
 	
*Ark: Knowing that, Lucius reached out to Tilith...
*Ark: ...and had her swear fealty to him.
*Ark: With that he could secure the stability of the world.
 	
*Paris: Secure the stability of the world?
 	
*Ark: You may have misunderstood from what I've told you so far, but Lucius is actually not an evil god.
*Ark: The only purpose behind everything he does is to make sure that the world is in balance.
*Ark: And that includes sealing away Karna Masta, and the subjugation of the Four Fallen Gods.
*Ark: However, the methods he chooses to go about this are pretty harsh on the human race.
*Ark: In reality, the one doing the right thing may be Lucius after all.
 	
*Lugina: Hmph. Well, I guess that when looking at it from the world's perspective, humans may be a nuisance in the long run.
 	
*Ark: Lucius made Tilith into his disciple thinking that he could use her powers to regulate the gates...
*Ark: ...which would in turn help to maintain the world's stability.
 	
*Tilith: ......
 	
*Karl: So basically, what you would like to do is defeat Lord Lucius...
*Karl: ...and then have the Goddess be in charge of the gates?
 	
*Ark: Yes, exactly.
 	
*Lugina: And then you'll cross the gate to go rescue your maiden fair?
 	
*Ark: ......Yes.
 	
*Lugina: Psh. There were a lot of unnecessary parts in between, but I'm glad we finally got to the point.
*Lugina: I believe your story.
 	
*Karl: Me too.
*Karl: I think now we have a better idea of what we have to do from here on out.
 	
*Lugina: Though it looks like things have only gotten even more complicated. What a pain.
 	
*Karl: Ark, you have a pretty good idea of what's gonna happen, right?
*Karl: I mean...
*Karl: ...you're sure that Lord Lucius will close the gate between Elgaia and Grand Gaia?
 	
*Ark: Yes.
*Ark: If you make any predictions based on his actions so far, then it all points to him closing the gate.
*Ark: In his mind, if any more humans were to make it to this region, it would only provoke more chaos.
 	
*Karl: If any more Summoners were to make it here, he would be in big trouble, huh?
 	
*Ark: And after closing the gate, leaving the power to destroy the gods in human hands would be too dangerous.
*Ark: He would definitely do something to correct the situation.
 	
*Paris: ......
 	
*Karl: Then it really looks like we have no choice but to fight.
*Karl: Goddess!
*Karl: I'm really sorry, but it looks like we won't be able to avoid a fight with Lord Lucius.
*Karl: We will ask him to reconsider his position, just in case...
*Karl: ...but it looks like he doesn't plan on doing that any time soon.
 	
*Tilith: I...
 	
*Tilith: I definitely want to protect you guys!
*Tilith: There may be many rotten humans in this world...
*Tilith: ...but there are plenty more amazing people living here too!
 	
*Tilith: Isn't that right, ?
 	
*Tilith: So I'm with you guys all the way.
 	
*Tilith: I'll try to convince Lord Lucius to change his mind until the very end!
 	
*Karl: Ha ha ha. As perky as always, I see.
 	
*Karl: Well, .
*Karl: Once we climb over this mountain, we'll finally reach the Crater.
*Karl: Don't let a demon get the best of you before we reach Lord Lucius!
 	
*Seria: I knew it. We have to climb this stupid mountain after all.
 	
*Seria: I'd take fighting a demon over this any day... *Sigh*
