Back again huh, you stubborn punk?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Hey, the core in that sword!
Is that the core to the aque
blastia?

Yeah, it's gotta be.

These fools don't know when to give
up. Capua Nor, Dahngrest, and now
all the way to Ghasfarost!

I've always hated kids.

Barbos, this has gone on long
enough. Save what's left of
your honor and give up!

The Knights will be here before long.
Any further resistance is futile!

That's right, you're finished!

Oh, this is far from finished.

I put ten years into building
Ghasfarost Spire, and while it
stands, nothing can stop me!

And with that man and the empire
wrapped around my finger, I was able
to build my magnificent blastia.

“That man”...?

You think I'm just gonna let you waste
the lower quarter's core like this?

Oh, it won't go to waste. I'll use
this to eliminate Whitehorse, and
then I will be leader of the guilds.

Then the empire is next! With
this power at my disposal, the
very world will be mine!

And I'll start with you.
Be gone, worms!

Is everyone all right?

That sword is gonna be a problem.

Problem? Is that
thing even legal?

It is very powerful.

Gah ha ha!!
The blastia seems to
be working just fine!

What...?!

What's wrong?

Heh, you haven't won yet.

All right, playtime's over!
Time to wipe Dahngrest off the
map, and you along with it!

Get down.

What?!

What was that...?

What happened to not having
any time or interest?

Hey, that's...!

Rita, never mind that!

...Piece of crap!

Looks like the tables have turned, Barbos.

...So all that fancy wisdom
and the power of the blastia
were nothing but a sham...

Should have known from the start that
I'd have to depend on my own strength.

Take up your swords!

You know, he was so much
easier to deal with when
he was all drunk on power.

Yeah, there's nothing worse
than an enlightened idiot.

I am the only man to stand as Whitehorse's
equal in battle. Now you will know the
power of Barbos the Stormblast...

...and his Blood Alliance!

Aguh!

Your henchmen have run out on you...

That's it, Barbos. It looks like
you were the fool who didn't
know when to give up.

Urk... Ha ha ha.
Perhaps you are right.

Then you'll surrender...

I...I won't be humiliated
any more than this.

...Yuri, was it?

You remind me of Whitehorse
in his youth...
You're his spitting image.

Hope you're not saying I'm gonna end
up like that old man. Not exactly
something to look forward to.

Like the Don, sooner or
later you will make great
enemies in this world.

...And then that world
will consume you whole.

Regret, sorrow, and despair will
hound you all the way to hell,
and I will be waiting there for you.
