Burst Element.

Wh-What's that?

Due to a mysterious drought of dark resources,

our long-range incineration projectiles failed to activate.

Immediately afterwards, a large-scale attack by the enemy destroyed 90% of the demi-human unit,

70% of the ogre archer unit, and over 30% of the dark mage unit.

What do you mean, "mysterious drought"?

That ridiculously massive art is what absorbed every drop of dark resources in the ravine!

But that's impossible.

Even I could never execute an art that size.

Who could have even done such a thing?

Welcome back. You did well.

The enemy has retreated.

You brought us this victory.

Lady Fanatio, the battle isn't over yet.

We must use healing arts to consume the sacred resources my art generated

so the enemy can't use them against us.

After all, their main force, the dark knights, and the pugilists guild are still untouched.

Everyone who can move, take the wounded and fall back!

Monk unit, focus on healing the wounded until all sacred power is depleted!

And watch for any movement by the enemy!

I'm going to report to the Knight Commander.

Can I leave things here to you?

You did well too, Amayori.

Go back to your bed and eat your fill.

Mentor?

Eldrie!

You're not injured, are you?

Correct. I haven't sustained any major wounds.

But it would have been better if I had perished in battle.

What are you saying?

Your duty is to lead the soldiers until the battle is over.

I failed to carry out my duty.

Not only did the goblins break through my formation,

their chief was brought down by Sir Renly.

How utterly shameful!

I betrayed your expectations of me.

To think I had presumed to seek her heart... her love.

It's beyond laughable!

I have no right to call myself your disciple!

You... You did well.

I, the Guardian Army, and the people of the Human Empire need you.

Why are you berating yourself so fiercely?

Need? You mean for my strength in battle?

Or...

Your life must almost be depleted.

So why are you standing there unarmed?

I'm the chief of the ogres, Furgr.

The chief of the ogres?

A member of the land of darkness's Council of Ten?

I saw.

That art of light... it was you who unleashed it.

That power, your visage... You must be the Priestess of Light.

If I take you back with me, this war will end.

The ogres can return to the grasslands.

What are you talking about?

Priestess of Light? This war will end?

Curse you! How dare you spout such drivel, lowly beast!

M-Mentor!

Why?

I am indeed the Priestess of Light.

Tell me, where will you take me?

Who is it that seeks me?

Emperor Vecta.

The Priestess of Light is the Emperor's sole desire.

He'll grant any wish to the one who captures and delivers the priestess.

The ogres will return to the grasslands.

Raise horses, hunt birds, and live.

You don't resent me?

It was I who massacred your people.

The stronger one is, the heavier their burden.

I, too, shoulder the burden of chief.

That's why I'm going to capture you

and take you with me!

This soul, at least, can fly to the grasslands.

Emperor Vecta.

So you're saying the reason your strategy failed and a thousand dark mages perished

was that the enemy absorbed and depleted the dark resources before we had the chance. Right?

Yes!

That's correct, Your Majesty.

We had received no reports that the enemy still had a mage of that caliber, with the pontifex now gone.

Is there no way to replenish those dark resources?

U-Unfortunately not, sire.

In order to replenish enough dark resources to annihilate our foes,

we'd need ample amounts of rich land and sunlight, but both are absent from the battlefield.

I see.

But from what I see, there is not a tree or blade of grass to be found in this land, and the sun seems to have already set.

What power source were you going to use to attempt to cast this large-scale spell?

Well, the demi-humans and enemy soldiers had spilled blood,

and their expired lives had become dark resources and filled the air.

Blood and life, huh?

Dee Eye Ell. Would 3,000 be sufficient?

Pardon?

That would be plenty, Your Majesty.

Priestess of Light?

Yes. I don't recall ever seeing such a name in any of the history books,

but there's no doubt that it's what the enemy commander is after.

Commander... the Dark God Vecta, huh?

I find it hard to believe. A resurrected god.

Little one.

Let's assume the Dark God Vecta has descended to the Dark Territory,

that he's seeking the Priestess of Light,

and that this priestess is you.

The question is, how will that affect our battle?

There's no question that the five tribes of the land of darkness are after the Human Empire.

But if Vecta's target is the Priestess of Light...

Uncle. I shall breach the enemy lines alone and head to the edge of the Dark Territory.

If it's the Priestess of Light that the enemy commander seeks,

he's sure to pursue me with a considerable force.

Once enough distance has split them, you'll be free to counterattack and annihilate the remaining enemy forces.

Not to mention, the World's End Altar is in the Dark Territory.

All right. As soon as this transmission ends, I'm going to return the FLA rate to 1,000.

So take Alice and head to the World's End Altar!

What do you mean, head to—

Listen! Once you exit the Eastern Gate, the Altar's due south—

If I go there, perhaps...

Fine, then.

But you're taking a third of our troops with you.

But...

I can't have you spare a third of your men!

The enemy still has more than 30,000 troops left.

I don't think that many would come after you if you're the sole decoy.

We'd only get them to split up if a big enough number fled together.

You do have a point, but...

Also, I have one more condition.

What's that?

I'll be joining the raid unit.

Dark Territory - Orc Tribe's Camp

Orc Chief Lilpilin.

You're to offer 3,000 sacrifices to fuel the dark mages' attack art.

Th-That's insane!

We all came here to fight!

Not to pay for your failure with our lives!

This is an imperial decree from the Emperor himself.

Chief.

We have no choice but to obey the Emperor's orders.

Lenju.

I and 3,000 of my troops will gladly give up our lives.

For the Emperor and for our tribe.

Lil.

I believe.

That all souls make their way to the heavens after they die. Not just humans, but orcs too.

Let's meet again there someday.

I'm so sorry, Len.

Forgive me. I'm so sorry.

Gather 3,000 of your troops in close formation 100 mels in front of the ravine within five minutes.

That is all.

All right, let's head out!

Eldrie...

Our goal as the raid unit is to split the enemy forces and thereby destroy them.

After we've passed through the Eastern Gate,

the soldiers, the monk unit, and the Supply Corps are to head south immediately.

If there's favorable terrain, we'll deploy the troops and get into position.

Until then, we four elite knights will act as a diversion.

We're going to defend this location with our lives.

Everyone, return to your positions!

System Call.

Transfer Human Unit Durability. Area to Self.

Generate Umbral Element.

Form Element, Worm Shape.

Long live the orcs! Glory to the orcs!

Lenju!

Damned humans... damned humans!

Curse those damned humans!

This sound... A group chanting an art?

Impossible! There's not enough sacred power left in this area to cast a large-scale art!

Those bastards! What have they done?

What power!

Ah, how magnificent!

These devastating dark resources.

Madam Chancellor, there are Integrity Knights approaching ahead.

This deathworm curse attack can't be blocked by swords or armor!

You're about to see what we're capable of, you damned Integrity Knights!

Don't rush it! Let them get close enough!

Not yet.

Not yet.

Now! Fire!

Get close and lure them this way!

Pull up!

No...

Little one! That move won't work!

Eldrie?

Go!

No! Eldrie!

O divine ancient serpent!

If you claim to be the king of the snakes, let's see you devour every last one of that horde of mere worms!

Release Recollection!

This way, you vile insects!

Not yet! I can't fall just yet!

Lady Alice...

Eldrie!

Eldrie!

Eldrie! Your eyes... open your eyes!

I won't allow it! You're not going to leave me like this!

Mentor... are you safe?

Yes. Yes, I am safe, thanks to you!

Didn't I tell you that I needed you?

Lady Alice, there are more... far more people who need you.

I was such a selfish person

to think I could keep you all to myself.

I'll give you whatever you wish for! So come back!

You're my disciple, aren't you?

I have already received more than enough.

Eldrie! Eldrie!

Don't cry...

Mo... ther.

Eldrie.

After all the havoc you've wreaked, I would hope you know you're going to pay!

Amayori. Takiguri.

Charge at full speed.

It can't be! Impossible!

They extinguished the deathworm curse,

which should have devoured the Integrity Knights and the ground troops with its priority level...

What the hell kind of art did they use?

Retreat! All hands, retreat!

You're not getting away! Fire!

Enhance Armament!

God fucking damn it! I'm not going to die!

Not in a place like this!

I'm going to be empress of the world!

L-Lady Dee!

What are you— P-Please stop...

System Call!

My name is Alice! Integrity Knight Alice Synthesis Thirty!

Messenger of the three gods who protect the Human Empire, the Priestess of Light!

Let it be known that all those who stand before me

will be vanquished by my sacred authority!

Alice.

Alicia.

"I'll be fine even if you're gone"

"I'll be fine even if you're gone"

An empty assurance escapes my lips again

An empty assurance escapes my lips again

Memories swirl within me of the days we spent together

Memories swirl within me of the days we spent together

So bright that they hurt to look at now

If I was capable of living life all alone

I never would have loved in the first place

Your smell, the way you talk

Your smell, the way you talk

Pieces of love still linger all over my body

My only wish, my only wish is

May you, wherever you are now,

Be crying too

Be crying too
