*Kalon: Ugh...
 	
*Tilith: What do you think of that?! Do you see now, my 's power?!
 	
*Seria: ......
*Seria: I really do feel a bit bad for , this time...
 	
*Karl: Seria, don't say anything more...
 	
*Seria: Karl...
 	
*Lugina: Tsch...
 	
*Paris: ......
 	
*Tilith: What's wrong, guys?
 	
*Karl: Nothing, nothing at all.
 	
*Karl: So, Kalon. How about the trial's results?
*Karl: Do you acknowledge my friend's power?
 	
*Kalon: ...indeed.
*Kalon: You...no, all of you may be able to become...
Music: "Daydream" 	Music: "Daydream"
 	
*Kalon: ...the "hope" longed for and awaited so long...
 	
*Seria: She?
 	
*Kalon: The one you call Oracle Maiden.
 	
*Seria: Have you spoken with the Oracle Maiden?!
 	
*Kalon: I am the demon that guards the seal. She is the key to the seal.
*Kalon: Of course I am acquainted with her.
 	
*Lugina: So why is this idiot the hope that she waits on?
 	
*Tilith: Lugi, is everyone's hope!
 	
*Seria: Tilith, this will take forever otherwise, so can you rein it in a little?
 	
*Tilith: Aww!
 	
*Kalon: Before we can speak of that...
*Kalon: ...I must tell you of the time when Karna Masta came to this land.
 	
*Seria: So it's going to end up taking forever anyway...
 	
*Karl: Shut up and listen. Kalon, keep talking.
 	
*Kalon: You are aware that after being cast out to this land, Karna Masta was sealed by demons, correct?
 	
*Seria: Yes, Mora told us.
*Seria: And that Lucius's one-time disciple Melord arranged it all.
 	
*Paris: And Ark told us that Melord used the power of Ilia, the Oracle Maiden.
 	
*Kalon: That's right.
*Kalon: Melord used Ilia's god-sealing power and the demon's powers...
*Kalon: ...to seal Karna Masta's powers and body in different places.
 	
*Paris: That's how immensely powerful Karna Masta was.
 	
*Kalon: Yes, such that he cannot be sealed in one location.
*Kalon: Karna Masta's body and power were split using Ilia's power...
*Kalon: ...and his body was sealed in this land, while his power was divided into eighths.
*Kalon: And by using the demon's "shadow" powers, his divided powers...
*Kalon: ...could only just be sealed in locations across this realm.
 	
*Lugina: So we're trying to unseal the thing you demons put so much effort into sealing.
 	
*Lugina: I get why you want to stop us.
 	
*Lugina: But, if you've given up on stopping us...
*Lugina: ...is this "hope" of Ilia's connected to that in some way?
 	
*Kalon: ......
 	
*Kalon: Naturally, monitoring was a necessity even after sealing Karna Masta's powers across the land.
*Kalon: However, the demons did not trust one another.
*Kalon: That is why I was selected to monitor the seals, with my power to divide myself.
 	
*Karl: Power...to divide yourself?
 	
*Kalon: I can create copies of myself that share my powers and memories.
*Kalon: I sent copies to the locations of the seals...
*Kalon: ...so that the other demons would not betray one another.
 	
*Paris: So what you're saying is, there was a copy of you in every land we've come through so far.
 	
*Kalon: That's correct.
*Kalon: The "me" that Ark and Lugina met was only a copy of me.
*Kalon: My body and shadow have remained in Menon the entire time.
 	
*Seria: Hold on a second! The numbers don't add up, if that's the case.
*Seria: This is the ninth location we've visited since coming to Ishgria, right?
 	
*Kalon: ......
*Kalon: There is a hidden secret to the seal on Karna Masta's true power, unknown to the other demons.
*Kalon: Another seal, created through faith in Ilia's hope.
 	
*Lugina: Another seal?
 	
*Kalon: Melord hid Ilia's existence from the other demons...
*Kalon: ...and while the foundation of the seal was explained to the other demons as Melord's magic...
*Kalon: ...I noticed shortly afterward, as I watched over the various seals...
*Kalon: ...another power was at work. A non-demonic power.
*Kalon: When one of my copies questioned Melord...
*Kalon: ...he laughed, and immediately told me of Ilia's existence.
 	
*Kalon: At the time, he hid Ilia's existence...
*Kalon: ...and intended to return to Grand Gaia with the demons deceived...
*Kalon: ...but likely became desperate, on learning that Lucius had cast him aside.
 	
*Tilith: ......
 	
*Kalon: I sent one of my copies to Mildran, from which I sensed the same power I sensed in the seals across the lands.
*Kalon: There I met Ilia, who was still conscious.
 	
*Lugina: So here's where the Oracle Maiden finally comes in.
 	
*Seria: Shut up and listen.
 	
*Kalon: I thought that she was attempting to use us, the demons, again.
*Kalon: However, it was quite the opposite. She was attempting to sacrifice herself to protect us.
*Kalon: We split Karna Masta's body and powers and sealed them...
*Kalon: ...but having done that, should one have attempted to seize other demons' powers as Mora did...
*Kalon: ...Ilia thought there was a risk that the seal would break...
*Kalon: ...and thus was attempting to seal Karna Masta's soul with her own.
 	
*Kalon: Even as she knew that doing so would place her in the same sealed state.
 	
*Tilith: ......
 	
*Karl: So what you're saying is, there are actually three seals on Karna Masta.
 	
*Karl: The first is on his body.
*Karl: That one sealed Menon, and opens with the powers of the majority of the demons that created it.
*Karl: The second is on his power.
*Karl: Those seals were created by eight demons in the lands that and the others...
*Karl: ...have come through so far.
*Karl: And the third is on his soul.
*Karl: That seal was created with the soul of Oracle Maiden Ilia, in Mildran.
*Karl: Have I got it right, Kalon?
 	
*Kalon: For the most part, but I must add something.
*Kalon: Ilia created the seal on his soul in Mildran...
*Kalon: ...but the seal itself was accomplished through my shadow.
 	
*Karl: A double seal...
 	
*Lugina: It's sealing away a dangerous soul. I guess that's natural.
 	
*Kalon: Also, Ilia's power lingers around all of the seals on Karna Masta.
 	
*Seria: Ilia's power...lingers? What does that mean?
 	
*Kalon: Before she was sealed at the same moment that she sealed Karna Masta's soul...
*Kalon: ...she hid her powers within each of the seals.
*Kalon: For the day that her "hope" would finally come.
 	
*Lugina: Things just keep getting more and more complicated... But I finally understand it.
*Lugina: How to destroy Karna Masta...
 	
*Seria: ...... It's too complex, I don't get it at all.
*Seria: Tilith, do you understand?
 	
*Tilith: Huh? What are we talking about?
 	
*Seria: You weren't listening at all, were you?
 	
*Karl: Well, here's a short version.
*Karl: Just in case anything happened at each place...
*Karl: ...Ilia hid her power in each of the seals' locations.
*Karl: So that when the "hope" she talked about came one day, her power would activate...
*Karl: ...and lend that person strength.
*Karl: So, if we're able to use Ilia's power that's hidden in this land...
*Karl: ...we might be able to slay Karna Masta's body.
 	
*Karl: ..., without you even realizing it...
*Karl: ...Ilia may have helped you in other places already.
 	
*Seria: Okay... I'm getting it bit by bit. But there's still something I don't understand.
*Seria: How do we use that power here?
*Seria: And how do you figure is this "hope"?
 	
*Seria: Have you even met the Oracle Maiden, ?
 	
*Tilith: It's because is !
 	
*Seria: Tilith, stay quiet for a bit.
 	
*Tilith: Hmph!
 	
*Karl: Seria, both of your questions are probably connected to Ark.
 	
*Paris: So that's it!
 	
*Seria: You got it too, Paris?!
 	
*Lugina: So that just leaves two people now who don't get it.
 	
*Tilith: I've known since the beginning!
 	
*Seria: You're lying!
 	
*Tilith: Goddesses don't lie!
 	
*Tilith: Ark has acknowledged .
*Tilith: So the girl that Ark loves...
*Tilith: ...will lend her power.
 	
*Seria: If you knew that, you should have said it at the start!
 	
*Tilith: Huh? I've been saying it the whole time!
 	
*Tilith: Haven't I been telling you? is amazing!
 	
*Seria: That doesn't tell us anything!
 	
*Karl: Anyway, that's more or less it.
*Karl: But, isn't Ilia's power hidden within the barrier around Karna Masta?
*Karl: Not only that, but pretty deep inside.
*Karl: To awaken it, instead of ...
*Karl: ...we'll need Ark.
 	
*Karl: ...and everything the old guys said finally makes sense.
 	
*Lugina: Everything about this irritates me to the core.
 	
*Paris: Karna Masta is so dangerous both before and after being sealed...
*Paris: ...that things need to be this complex, and this carefully done.
 	
*Kalon: In all likelihood, this will be the final chance to defeat Karna Masta.
*Kalon: The power of the Oracle Maiden to seal gods, the power to awaken it, the Oracle Knight...
*Kalon: ...and the hope, acknowledged by the Oracle Knight.
*Kalon: These factors will not all come into alignment again...
 	
*Karl: The final chance...
 	
*Lugina: Tsch...
 	
*Kalon: That is all I can say. I entrust the rest to all of you.
*Kalon: When you see him, please tell Ark what Ilia said.
 	
*Kalon: They're gone...
*Kalon: Then I shall begin my final duties, as the demon who watched over the seal.
*Kalon: Aaron...
*Kalon: ...soon, we will be able to speak again after so long.
