*Cardes: Argh...
 	
*Loch: Lady Edea!
*Loch: We can win! We can win this battle!!
 	
*Cardes: ......
*Cardes: You are all indeed strong... Underestimating you was unwise...
*Cardes: However...you are still nothing but filthy human beings.
*Cardes: So don't think you have won yet, you lowly insects!
 	
*Loch: Urgh...
 	
*Dean: Wh-What's happening?!
*Dean: His powers...are growing?
 	
*Cardes: Did you think a God like me would use all of his powers to deal with little insects like yourselves?
*Cardes: You conceited fools thought you could defeat a god?!
*Cardes: You shall meet your ruin!
 	
*Loch: Grrr...
 	
*Edea: Aaaarghhhh!!!
 	
*Loch: Y-Your Royal Highness?!
*Loch: Why did you protect me...?!
 	
*Edea: Loch...are you unharmed...?
 	
*Edea: Thank goodness...
 	
*Cardes: Hmph. Fool.
*Cardes: No matter what you do, all of you shall perish regardless.
*Cardes: Except now, the turn I will destroy you in has slightly changed.
*Cardes: What a pitiful way to die.
 	
*Loch: Wh-Why you!!
 	
*Dean: Stop!
 	
*Loch: Fall back!
 	
*Dean: It's at times like these that you have to keep your cool!!
*Dean: Edea is wearing the enchanted armor of Lafradnya. She won't die so easily!
*Dean: And if you let all the blood rush to your head, there's no way your attacks will do us any good.
 	
*Dean: So save your energy.
 	
*Loch: Save...my energy?
 	
*Dean: Yeah. You have an ace up your sleeve, don't you?
*Dean: We'll help you set things up so you can finally play that card!
 	
*Loch: ......
 	
*Loch: Understood...
 	
*Dean: That's the spirit. We're counting on you.
 	
*Dean: Gramps! Lend me a hand here!!
 	
*Lorand: Very well.
*Lorand: I must also do my best to control my anger.
*Lorand: Because the next time I swing my blade, not even I know what will happen.
 	
*Dean: Ha ha. How reliable of you.
 	
*Cardes: What is it you plan to do?
*Cardes: Even if you do try something, your powers are useless against my barrier.
*Cardes: The final result of this battle will not change...
 	
*Lorand: Are you so certain?
*Lorand: Feast your eyes on the light of the flames burning from my blade!!
 	
*Cardes: Argh...
*Cardes: Impossible!! He broke through my barrier...?!
 	
*Cardes: You filthy worm!
 	
*Lorand: Gragh...
 	
*Dean: Gramps is not your only opponent, you know!
 	
*Cardes: Argh...this cold...
 	
*Dean: I'll teach you the real meaning of "Absolute Zero"!
 	
*Cardes: Oh... So you plan to seal me away, do you?
 	
*Cardes: Well, don't think this cold will be enough to stop me!
 	
*Dean: Argh...
 	
*Cardes: You should admit your defeat. There is no point in humans challenging the gods.
*Cardes: Resistance is futile.
 	
*Dean: Wait...
*Dean: This is not over yet...
 	
*Lorand: He's right... We have yet to settle this...
 	
*Dean: Gragh...
 	
*Lorand: Urgh...
 	
*Cardes: Humans are foolish and frail...
*Cardes: Your deaths shall follow the one of that foolish girl soon enough...
*Cardes: That girl who led you to believe a god could be defeated by mere mortals such as yourselves has led you all to your own death.
 	
*Loch: Silence!
*Loch: What do you know of the princess?!
*Loch: She is...she is--!
*Loch: Grrr...
 	
*Loch: Pfff...
*Loch: Professor, Dean, and Your Royal Highness.
*Loch: I will not allow the time you have bought me to go to waste...
*Loch: With this one shot, I will...
*Loch: I will defeat you, Cardes!
 	
*Loch: Take this! This is the power of the bonds that unite us in friendship!
 	
*Cardes: Argh...
*Cardes: ...GRAAAAGHH!!
*Cardes: What is this power?!
*Cardes: The arrow that human released... Can it really defeat a god such as myself...?!
*Cardes: Urgh...
*Cardes: This cannot be...
*Cardes: I will not allow this to happen!!
*Cardes: Me, at the mercy of humans...
*Cardes: No, gods do not suffer injuries.
*Cardes: Gods do not suffer!!
 	
*Lorand: Loch, Dean, do not let your guard down.
*Lorand: Cardes hasn't fallen just yet!
 	
*Loch: Understood!!
 	
*Dean: Got it!

*Loch: What...?! The sky is...breaking apart?!
 	
*Cardes: ......
*Cardes: Thanks to your last attack against me my anger has opened the "gate"...
 	
*Dean: Argh... We'll be sucked in...!
 	
*Lorand: Hmm... This is...
 	
*Cardes: Ha ha ha ha....
*Cardes: It seems that no matter what you do, you shall be destroyed by my powers regardless.
*Cardes: The Spirit World lies beyond that gate...
*Cardes: ...and none of you have any power left to brave its challenges...
 	
*Loch: Grr...
*Loch: This is all my fault...
 	
*Lorand: No it is not...
 	
*Dean: Gramps is right.
 	
*Dean: But still...this is pretty bad.

*Loch: Your Royal Highness!!
 	
*Edea: I am sorry to have worried you all.
*Edea: I am fine. Lafdranya protected me.
 	
*Edea: ......
 	
*Dean: ......
*Dean: Edea, are you sure you're all right?
 	
*Edea: He he. Yes, I'm fine.
 	
*Dean: ......
 	
*Edea: Now please, listen to me.
*Edea: I will now use Lafdranya's power...
*Edea: ...to transport you all to safety.
 	
*Loch: Does Lafdranya really hold such power?!？
 	
*Edea: Yes.
*Edea: When I fainted, Lafdranya spoke to me.
*Edea: So there is nothing to fear.
 	
*Lorand: ......
*Lorand: I am going to ask just in case, but you are coming with us as well, are you not Lady Edea?
 	
*Edea: I...shall remain here.

*Edea: There is something I must do.
 	
*Dean: Quit messing around! Do you really think we're just gonna leave you behind?!
*Dean: If you're not coming with us, then we'll stay here with you.
 	
*Loch: Exactly!
*Loch: I am here to fight for you, Your Royal Highness!
 	
*Edea: ......
*Edea: Please forgive me...
*Edea: This may be selfish of me, but I want you all to continue living.
*Edea: Because you are all my precious friends...
 	
*Cardes: Fool. Do you really think I will allow you to help them escape...?
*Cardes: You don't even have enough power to do what you claim you will.
*Cardes: Even if you do manage to release the power of that armor, all that ultimately awaits you is death.
 	
*Loch: Your Royal Highness?
 	
*Edea: Loch, do not worry.
*Edea: I will be fine... I will be just fine!
*Edea: Even if I die here, my thoughts will always be with you all!
 	
*Loch: But Your Royal Highness!
 	
*Edea: Lafdranya, I beg you!
*Edea: Please save them!
 	
*Cardes: You dare defy me?!
 	
*Edea: Aaahhhhhh!!!
 	
*Loch: Princess!!
 	
*Loch: Why youuuuuuuu!!!
 	
*Edea: Argh... I'm all right.
 	
*Edea: It will take more than that to stop me!
 	
*Cardes: Grr... What is this power of yours...
*Cardes: I cannot...move...
 	
*Edea: Everyone, I shall seal Cardes away now!
 	
*Edea: So please...I leave the rest in your hands.
 	
*Lorand: Grr... Lady Edea... Your wish...is our command.
*Lorand: But even so, I...
 	
*Dean: Wait! Edea!
*Dean: No, wait!! Darn it all!
 	
*Loch: Your Royal Highness! Please don't!!
*Loch: I...I--!!
 	
*Edea: Loch, please take care of the people of Palmyna in my stead.
 	
*Edea: Thank you...
 	
*Loch: Princess?! Princessssssss!!!
 	
*Edea: Argh...
 	
*Cardes: Do you think you can seal me away on your own?
 	
*Edea: ...... Cardes the Malevolent.
*Edea: I am aware that my power alone is not enough to rival yours...
 	
*Edea: But with the last of my power, I shall bring you to the Spirit World with me.
*Edea: Lafdranya, please! Grant me your power one last time!!
 	
*Cardes: Wh-What?!
*Cardes: What is happening...?
*Cardes: This power...is not human!
*Cardes: Grr... I cannot control...my own body!
 	
*Edea: Cardes, let us slumber together in the depths of the Spirit World.
*Edea: Until this power vanishes from the world, my seal over you shall never break.
 	
*Cardes: A miserable human has...
*Cardes: No, it cannot be...
*Cardes: This cannot beeee!!
*Cardes: Grrr...
*Cardes: GRAAAAAGGHHH!!

*Edea: ......
 	
*Cardes: That armor is the one that sealed me away...
*Cardes: No, but it wasn't just the armor...
*Cardes: The will of that armor resonated with the will of that girl...
*Cardes: Very well then... I shall slumber here for now...
*Cardes: But the power of this seal is not absolute...
*Cardes: And thus in the near future, I shall rise once again...
*Cardes: Prepare yourselves for that day...
*Cardes: ...humans...

*Loch: How was it of any help if I failed to protect the princess?!
