Sacred Stone Memories Chapter 8/Quest 5 - Storyline

Templar

Court Mage A	Your Highness! Please, evacuate! The Greed Dike soldiers will be here any minute now...agh!!!
Greed Dike Soldier A	Excuse me. You must be Queen Venus Lustburg, correct?
Greed Dike Soldier B	...
Venus	I will not exchange words with such ill-mannered people as you. What are you doing...hurry up and eliminate them.
Court Mage B	Understood!
Greed Dike Soldier A	I would've preferred to carry out matters peacefully...but it seems like you would prefer otherwise.
Court Mage B	Our magic doesn't work on them...!
Greed Dike Soldier A	Take them out!
Greed Dike Soldier B	!
Court Mage B	Aghh!!!
Venus	...!
Greed Dike Soldier A	Our sole aim is that of obtaining Lustburg's Sacred Stone Asmodeus. It's not to take your life. If you hand it over obediently, we've been ordered by Emperor Orion to spare your life.
Venus	Orion...that scum with his cheeky words! Die! You ingrates!!! You uncouth fools! I must teach you the price of your undiscerning words...
Greed Dike Soldier A	Honestly, you still don't get it, do you?
Venus	?!
Greed Dike Soldier A	Restrain her. Do not kill her until she's given up the location of Asmodeus.
Greed Dike Soldiers	...
Venus	My magic doesn't work...?! Is this some kind of special magic defense?! In that case...!
Vermins	...
Greed Dike Soldier A	What are all these insects...?! What are you doing?!
Venus	Hmph. These is plenty of Alchemia within these creatures. With them, you stand no chance against me, you Greed Dike scum...
???	Ill Atmosphere!!!
Greed Dike Soldier A	Aghh!!!
Greed Dike Soldiers	...
Venus	They froze...?!
???	So you're willing to sacrifice your men in order to obtain power?
Venus	Who's there?!
Othima	That's not a good move, Your Highness. You're supposed to be protecting your people. More importantly...since a state of emergency has been declared...it's our job to intercept Greed Dike on your behalf.
Venus	You're that Paladin from the Holy Guard...!
Othima	Whoa! H-h-hey, hold on! Please, don't strip me naked again! Just for today, can we remove the ban on men?!
Venus	Your name was Othima, wasn't it? Why do only your abilities work on them?
Othima	Oh, no...actually, to be honest, it's not working. I just froze their magic defenses along with them. But...that's odd...
Venus	Odd...?
Othima	Yes. I've never seen such complete protection before. I mean, no matter what kind of defense method is used, it should inflict at least some level of damage.
Venus	It's true. I've never encountered someone who my magic didn't work on.
Othima	Plus, these aren't even prototypes. They're just regular soldiers. Does it mean that someone armed them with magic defenses?
???	Your calm judgment...and your outstanding magic abilities...
Othima	?!
???	I am deeply impressed, Captain Othima.
Othima	Behind...?! Agh!!!
???	...
Venus	Who are you...?!
Acht	I am one of the Veda Templars...Acht, the 7 Tactics Master.. Thus, my allegiances lie with Greed Dike.
Othima	The Veda Templars...?!
Venus	You are the one who equipped those scum with magic defenses? If magic won't work on you...then I'll hack you to death instead!
Later...
Acht	...Gauntlet.
Othima	An artificial arm...?! Not good!
Acht	!
Vermins	...
Venus	Ack...! What kind of attack is this...?
Othima	No! Please stand back and leave this to me!
Venus	Don't get in my way! I must use them as fuel!
Acht	Right. You are attempting to use their Alchemia to your advantage.
Venus	What...?
Acht	Radiator.
Othima	...! She's going to burn them all! Run!!!
Vermins	...
Venus	My men...!
Othima	Ack! Ill Atmosphere!!!
Vermins	...
Acht	...!
Venus	You froze all the bugs?! You...
Othima	I'm sorry, that's the best I could do. Please heal them properly later.
Acht	...
Othima	Oh dear. Since she switches her artificial arm, her attack style keeps changing as well. I can't grasp a pattern. That being said, you said something that drew my interest just now.
Acht	Veda...? Like you've observed...I am from Lost Blue...just like you are.
Othima	...!
