Huh...?!
What's going on?

It's still absorbing aer.

Maybe we won't get anywhere until
we activate the last formula?

Aren't you a greedy sword.

Then let's go activate
the final formula.

W-wait a sec!

The second time we fought that
golem, it was way strong, right?

What of it?

If it attacks us next time, it'll have
power from two formulas at once!
It could be even stronger!

Aren't we better off
calling it quits?

You... could be right.

...Why is that sword so
important to you?

...It's not just any sword.

Well, that's obvious.
I mean, just look at it.

That's no ordinary weapon...it's
a masterwork! Everything about
it just screams “legendary”.

I've certainly heard that it
is an amazing sword, but
that's not all there is to it.

That sword is a kind of a secret
treasure of the knights. It's always
been hidden away somewhere.

The only ones worthy of wielding
this sword are those who are
considered to be true knights.

A true knight...

It was last used in the Great
War. Since then, this sword
has been without a master.

It's nearly fallen into obscurity.

Even though it's such a powerful
weapon? What a waste.

Actually, the knights might've
made the right choice for once.

You don't want people joining
the knights who are just out to
make a name for themselves.

That's right. If that sword was public
knowledge, the knights would have to
deal with the droves of people after it.

The sword is granted to an honorable
few. However, one who would seek
honor to gain a sword does not have
their priorities straight.

As-is, we can't allow the world
to know about this sword.

...Why don't you take it?

I told you, this sword
exists for a true knight!

I don't even know what
it means to really be
a true knight.

This is just me talkin', but
I think yer plenty qualified.

Aye. You're trying to get it
back, even though you've
nothing to gain from it.

I'm sure we'll find someone who is
worthy of this sword some day. That's
why I can't just leave it where it is.

So...

Yeah, yeah, I get it.
Let's do this, then.

Huh?

You were gonna say it's
only important to you,
so you'd do it alone, right?

Don't get ahead of yourself.

Yuri...

Aye. We're all friends on board of
the same ship. It's only natural
we'd help each other out.

Woof!

Yeah! If we work
together, I'm sure
we'll get it back.

You sound pretty confident.
Weren't you shaking in your
boots just a little while ago?

All right, let's go activate
the final formula.

...Yeah!
