*Lugina: Tch... I guess he's further ahead...
 	
*Reda: W-Wait, Lugina.
*Reda: Bertz is probably hiding from the Abel Faction as he goes...
*Reda: I rather doubt he'll be able to move that fast. It's possible he's still around here...
 	
*Lugina: Are you kidding?!
*Lugina: He's most likely hurrying to catch that guy before the Abel Faction finds him!
*Lugina: Besides, if he gets ahead of him, he'd be able to set a trap and ambush him.
*Lugina: Don't you get it?!
 	
*Reda: Argh...typical...
 	
*???: Ah, hey, Lugi!!
 	
*Lugina: Oh, it's you guys...
 	
*Karl: Are you chasing after Bertz?
 	
*Lugina: Don't ask what you already know. I don't have time to stop for a chat right now.
*Lugina: Come on!!
 	
*Reda: H-Hold on!!
*Reda: Since we ran into everyone here...
*Reda: ...we should at least share information on the current situation!
 	
*Seria: What she said!
*Seria: You're definitely chasing down Bertz, but, what is he after?
*Seria: If you know, you should tell us!
 	
*Lugina: ...
 	
*Karl: Lugina...I know you.
*Karl: You probably have a fair idea of what Bertz is trying to do, right?
*Karl: Can't you tell us about it?　
 	
*Karl: If it's related to what the Abel Faction are after, it's important so we...
*Karl: ...no, so the Summoners' Hall can decide what to do in the future.
*Karl: It'll also help us decide whether those two gods we met earlier were telling us the truth or not.
 	
*Lugina: Two gods...? Who have you been talking to?
 	
*Lugina: Tsch... Guess I don't have a choice. Okay, I'll tell you...
*Lugina: ...but in exchange...
 	
*Karl: Yeah, yeah. We'll share our information we've obtained here.
 	
*Lugina: Hmph...

*Lugina: You at least remember that the summoning arts were created by Karna Masta, right?
 	
*Seria: Yeah, of course...
*Seria: So if you kill Karna Masta, the summoning arts disappear too, right?
*Seria: We talked about this in Ishgria.
 	
*Lugina: At that time, Bertz called the summoning arts...
*Lugina: ..."magic spells for Karna Masta to defeat the gods" but...
*Lugina: ...what do you think that really means they were created for?
 	
*Tilith: ...?
 	
*Karl: Magic spells for Karna Masta to defeat the gods...
 	
*Karl: I get it...you're talking about the Sealed God that imprisons Alza Masta?!
 	
*Lugina: Heh...as usual, you're good at idle speculation.
*Lugina: That's exactly it...
 	
*Lugina: In order to seal away Pious Emperor Alza Masta...
*Lugina: ...Karna Masta created the summoning arts in order to call upon the Sealed Gods.
 	
*Reda: To...call upon the Sealed Gods...You mean all of them...?
 	
*Reda: That would consume a tremendous amount of power...
 	
*Lugina: Certainly it would take a power far beyond human capabilities, but that's not all...
*Lugina: In order to perfect the seal...
*Lugina: ...he embedded his own power in the Divine Dragon, into whose body Alza Masta was sealed.
*Lugina: For Karna Masta, it is what could be called another source of his power...
 	
*Seria: Another source of Karna Masta's power...?
 	
*Seria: Wait, you don't mean...
 	
*Lugina: That's exactly what I mean. The source of the summoning arts that we all use...what could be considered "true" summoning power...
 	
*Reda: True summoning power...
 	
*Lugina: That's what Bertz and Rahnas are probably after...
*Lugina: ...they want to acquire that power, and contain it in their own bodies.
 	
*Karl: ...
*Karl: I see... It lines up with what the two gods we met earlier were saying.
 	
*Karl: Everything centers around the Divine Dragon...or rather, the true summoning power kept inside it...
*Karl: ...and...the sealed Alza Masta...
 	
*Tilith: But, to contain true summoning power in their own bodies...
*Tilith: I am a goddess so it's not really for me to say, but the power of Karna Masta, the leader of the Divine Ten...
*Tilith: ...I don't think there's any way a human body could handle it.
 	
*Lugina: By normal methods it would be impossible...
*Lugina: ...however, that explains why they stole the Divine Armor's power back in Rokkzalm. They were preparing for this.
 	
*Seria: The Divine Armor's power? How do they even plan to use it...?
 	
*Lugina: It seems that that Omnipotence Siphon Bertz stole embedded the Sealed God's power within his body.
 	
*Lugina: And if there is a "vessel" for a Sealed God's power present...
*Lugina: ...it theoretically wouldn't be impossible to receive Karna Masta's power.
 	
*Karl: Can they really do such a thing...?
 	
*Lugina: Who knows? But if we assume that they can, then to us...
 	
*Lugina: ...no, to all the people in this world...
*Lugina: ...they would very likely become entities who are completely beyond our reach.
 	
*Lugina: Anyway, I shared my information. Now it's your turn.
 	
*Karl: R-Right...
 	
*Lugina: Hmph, so the Sealed Gods on the other worlds only played an auxiliary role...
*Lugina: ...and, the two gods who protect the Divine Dragon...
 	
*Tilith: This is just a thought, but...if they stole Karna Masta's power from the Divine Dragon...
*Tilith: ...then won't that mean Alza Masta will come back...?
 	
*Lugina: Yes, he probably will.
*Lugina: But at the same time, they will obtain the power that sealed him in the first place.
*Lugina: It's safe to assume they will seal Alza Masta away again... It's also possible that they'll kill him.
*Lugina: At the very least, that's what Bertz and Rahnas are thinking anyway.
 	
*Tilith: ......
 	
*Lugina: If we've all shared what we need to share, we're going after Bertz...
*Lugina: If we can just get the Omnipotence Siphon containing the Divine Armor's power away from him...
*Lugina: ...that should take care of everything.
 	
*Lugina: You can all...well, do whatever you want.
 	
*Reda: Hey, would you please wait! Geez...
 	
*Reda: Sorry, .
*Reda: We've only just finally seen each other but, I need to follow that idiot.
 	
*Reda: It is my duty...
 	
*Reda: Let's all do the best we can.
 	
*Karl: There they go...
 	
*Tilith: ...
*Tilith: Did Lugi seem...a bit strange to you?
 	
*Seria: He did...
 	
*Seria: I mean, that bad attitude of his is nothing new, but...
*Seria: ...how can I put it...?
 	
*Karl: He...seemed pretty tense.
 	
*Tilith: Yes...
 	
*Karl: Considering Bertz is involved, I'm sure he feels like his back's against the wall...
