Sacred Stone Memories Chapter 7/Quest 4 - Storyline

Husk

Kudanstein	Are you telling me...you're dead?!
Fung Liu	I underwent...a very strange...experiment. Since then, the idea of life or death no longer applied to my body.
Kudanstein	Experiment...?
Fung Liu	The Door of Truth. Half of my life...was cast to the other side of it.
Kudanstein	The Door of Truth...?!
Fung Liu	!

Orion	An attachment to life...?
Waginau	Having been raised as an assassin...if you look at it the other way, he has seen more of life and death than anyone. He continues to search for the meaning of human life.
Orion	Are you telling me his attachment with life is what led to the experiment succeeding?
Waginau	Yes. The world behind the Door of Truth that consumes everything... In contrast to that...he possessed an attachment to life that is not tied down to this world. That twin power of Fung Liu balanced each other out, miraculously resulting in his survival.
Orion	So you're saying that, because Fung Liu confronted life more than anyone, he was able to return to life? Hmm. And you lot robbed the idea of life and death from such a man... Honestly, I am rendered speechless by the outrageousness of you from the Corpse. It's difficult to believe that you work within the shadows of the Holy Guard which advocates absolute justice.
Waginau	Heheh. I'll take your words...as that of the highest praise.

Kudanstein	Ack! So you sacrificed half your life to obtain an immortal body? In other words, you transformed yourself into half a phantom soldier!
Fung Liu	It appears that's the case. That being said...I find myself more surprised by you.
Kudanstein	What do you mean?
Fung Liu	You have managed to obtain the power of darkness...without having paid a price. That's phenomenal. The world beyond the Door of Truth attempts to consume everything. Your attachment to this world appears to overturn that power.
Kudanstein	My attachment to this world...?
In the past...

Kagura	Kudan!
The present...

Kudanstein	...!
Fung Liu	It is extremely unstable, but you embody it. I am extremely curious to what that is.
Kudanstein	You didn't have anyone you wanted to protect?
Fung Liu	Someone I wanted to protect...?
Kudanstein	There were those I was supposed to protect... But they were sacrificed because of my lack of power. I guess you could say that the one I wish to protect now symbolizes the debt that I owe the others I could not save.
Fung Liu	Are you telling me that this person you're supposed to protect is the light that keeps you attached to this world?
Kudanstein	That's right...! Back then, Zain said that my technique succeeded! There's still a chance that Kagura is alive! I need to protect her from those who want to take advantage of her!
Fung Liu	You're regaining your power again! The existence of the one you need to protect is giving you power! What about me? Is there someone that I should protect?
Kudanstein	I'm wasting time here. I'm gonna go and talk with Orion. ...Clear off.
Fung Liu	I have a...mission. All I need to do is execute that!
Kudanstein	!
Fung Liu	Huh?!

Waginau	...
Orion	...Hey.
Greed Dike Soldier C	Yes, Emperor!
Orion	Kudanstein will be here soon. Prepare to welcome him.
Greed Dike Soldier C	Yes, Emperor!
Waginau	I don't understand. Do you full grasp the power of Prototype 0?
Orion	Hmph. Fung Liu is nothing more than a distraction.
Waginau	A distraction...?
Orion	A regular knight may be stopped by Fung Liu, but Kudanstein won't be stopped that easily. Do you think I would have an eye on someone of that degree?
Waginau	... ...

Fung Liu	What...?!
Kudanstein	You're strong...as an emotionless human weapon, I doubt they are many individuals who can compare to you.
Fung Liu	Ack!
Kudanstein	That being said, there's no way you can beat me. After all, you don't have a reason to fight.
Fung Liu	Do you mean...?
Kudanstein	Yes. I'm talking about someone you want to protect. There's a reason why that I cannot lose! My mission in life does not simply consist of annihilating my opponent in front of me!
Fung Liu	Agh...!
Kudanstein	Right now, you're nothing more than a weapon that devotes itself to fighting.
Kudanstein	How can I lose to a husk like you with no will of your own!
Fung Liu	I...I'm...a husk?! ...Hwooooohhh!!!
Kudanstein	If you're going to blame anything than blame your life that's drained you of all emotions! It's high time you reconsider your priorities!
Fung Liu	Aghh!!! Ug...ugh! ...Uckkk!!!
Kudanstein	That's right. You're not capable of dying. If you want to attack me again then go on. I'll take you down as many times as you want.
Fung Liu	Ugh...I-I'm not finished yet! I defeat the enemy in front of me...that's all. That's the meaning of my existence! Hwaaaahhh!!!
Reimei	!
Fung Liu	...
Reimei	No, it's over. You've lost to his powerful determination.
Kudanstein	You...!
Reimei	Having fought against him, I'm sure you know that he's not your average knight. I can't imagine this strong determination of his ever being depleted. Don't you think so?
Fung Liu	... ...
Reimei	No matter how much you challenge him, you'll never be able to beat him now. More importantly...I think it might also be fun to see how far this guy can go.
Kudanstein	Don't be an idiot. If you're gonna follow me then hurry up.
Reimei	Got it.
Fung Liu	Let me give you one piece of advice.
Kudanstein	...Advice?
Fung Liu	Even if you have someone that you need to protect...it doesn't change the fact that you're in a state of instability. If you don't want to fall into the darkness...you shouldn't try to seek any more power.
Kudanstein	Hmph. Unfortunately, my determination will never be depleted. Let's go.
Kudanstein Reimei	...
Fung Liu	Kudanstein...
