Specialty Change: Church of Ilryos Axe

Whew...I'm going to rest here for a bit.

Right...I'm tired too.

We can't keep running like this forever.

How long can we keep going...

Wait, be quiet. I think I hear something over there.

...There have been some reports.

Statues of the Goddess are being destroyed when no one is around. Some pilgrims that are traveling alone have even been assaulted.

Noooo waaaay. How could they do such malicious things?

My thoughts exactly. Those filthy Ilryos Church remnants must be dealt with!

We will have to clear them up as soooooooon as possible.

I'm sure that is how the Goddess wills it!

Of course, that's why we're here.

The Order of the Shield will patrol this area, could the Holy Order of the Blue Cross please take care of the opposite area.

Glaaaadly, Sir Crozet.

Aaaaalright. We will look around from here to aaaaall the way over there.

I'll take the lead, Angelica.

Ack. What should we do if they come this way?

The last group who went out to destroy Goddess statues didn't make it back. I wonder if the same thing will happen to us...

Shhhh! Stay quiet.

They're really coming this way! What should we do...!?

I said be quiet... Please...don't even breathe.

Hmm... I think I saw something over here...

B...By any chance... If those Ilryos Church filth are hiding...

*chuckling*

I feel euphoric just thinking about it! Kyahahaha!

It's over. This is where we die.

Just shut up already... Please...

Just give me a quick, painless death right now... I'd prefer that over being beaten to death by that nun.

I told you to be quiet...Pleeeeeease...

So this is how I die...

After giving myself to the Ilryos Church, is this how everything's going to end?

This is so unfair...

We are being oppressed, but no one's coming to help us.

Kayron, Ilryos... Where are they when we need them most?

We've been abandoned.

They are no different to those who only treated me well so they could take advantage of my strength.

I was just a pawn all along...

Finally... You realize...

You've always been a pawn...

Huh? What is...this voice?

Shhh! Be quiet...

I know everything about you.

Without a place to call home since childhood...

You joined the army in hopes of escaping starvation, but you had to run away from that too.

Um...

Hey...You hear that voice too, right?

What are you going on about? The only one talking here is you.

Even though I keep telling you to shut up...if you want to die so badly, there's no need to bring me down with you.

Or you could shut your mouth and keep that huge, dumb body of yours low.

......

I see the potential in you.

Your life is one of Chaos, and that Chaos deepens the more you seek order.

You are capable of so much more.

Heed my call! Follow my path!

......

Hehehe...hehehehe

Oh, Clarissa, we're in charge of this area.

Ah, sorry, I was just following my instincts and ended up here...

Come over heeeeere, Clarissaaaaa. We haven't checked this part of forest yeeeet.

Okay, I'm on my way.

Phew, they're leaving... Finally...

Follow me and walk quietly.

Huh? It's still not safe to move...

Trust me. I have a voice guiding me...

A voice?

Shh, quiet...

O...Okay...

This way.

Wow... They're all moving away from us.

Listen. We have a lot of work to do...

We...? As in, you and me? Or the Ilryos Church...?

Forget about Ilryos! The Church is finished!

A new order will rule the world from now on!

Hey, isn't it about time you tell me why you're doing all this?

I already did.

You just didn't believe me.

What do you mean?

Don't tell me...you mean that voice? The voice which only you can hear?

It's Chaos.

Eh?

That voice... It calls itself Chaos.

They say they have many names on many worlds, but in our language they would be known as Chaos.

Oh? How kind of them to translate their name for us.

So? Was that it? No hints on hidden treasures?

They said an order lies within Chaos, as long as we follow that path.

...Okay, you lost me again.

Get a hold of yourself! A voice only you can hear? Don't be ridiculous!

......

So...all this time...all this trouble...was because of some silly voice in your head?

It's not a silly voice, it's Chaos!

No! No it's not! You're just hearing things out of starvation and sleep deprivation!

Wait, shut up and stay low. They're coming back.

What? Who are "they"?

Them.

Don't leave a single stone unturned!

We must not let those heretics slip away. The Goddess will be disappointed in us.

Understood, Clarissa!

I'll do my best to find as many bad guys as I can, without getting lost!

Oh no! It's the knights and nuns of the Conclave! We need to run!

We found the remnants of the Ilryos Church! They're fleeing that way!

That's it! Run to me!

Where do you think you're going!?

Arrghh!

Kyahahahahahaha!

S...Stop! S..Spare my life...Plea...se

S...Such a sad face...

...Won't save you from my morning star!

Argh!

It's that nun again! Oh no...

We need to escape... I feel bad for abandoning my old comrades, but we must run away when we can...

......

We will fight.

Ugh...

...I'll listen to your worries later. We need to get out of here first.

No, we stand and fight. Chaos wills it.

Chaos tells me we will win.

Alright, fine! Do whatever you want!

I'm outta here...huh?

We are going together.

Chaos tells me to go with you.

Leave me alone! Let me go already! Argh, why are you so needlessly strong!?

There has to be more of these remnants of the Ilryos Church...

We must guide all those who have been forsaken by the Goddess. No exceptions!

Look, Clarissa! Over there!

Remnants of the Church of Ilryos...coming this way!

So they are!

We must show them the Goddess's guidance. Be prepared!

Kyahaha!

No way...

To think there's such power among the heretics... Impossible!

W...We won... That crazy nun is pulling back!

Of course we did.

I offer the glory of this victory to Chaos!

Ah! That scared me!

Chaos? What about the Ilryos Church...?

I know, right? He says Ilryos's time has passed.

Now it's time for Chaos to reign.

It's..an entirely new kind of heresy! We must let Angelica know about this!

Elson, back to Tirel Castle! Retreat!

Understood!

That's right, run! And don't ever come back!

Look at them running away! *chuckles*

......

You were amazing. Looks like all your training paid off.

Anyway, I hope this whole "Chaos" thing goes well for you. Goodbye...

You're coming with me.

Chaos says we must go forward together.

What are you talking about? Leave me alone! Let me go!

I told you I'm not into this whole Chaos business!

Chaos cares not for your opinion.

Argh! Seriously, why are you so strong?!

We shall march forward together.

No! ...Let me go! Please!

A voice only I can hear...

Chaos continues to talk to me.

Unlike those who only ever used me for their own goals, Chaos is always talking to me.

Hone your strength...

Gather the remnants of the Ilryos Church and convert them...

Revive the Chaos Sect...

Eliminate any non-believers...

World domination...

*chuckles* World domination... Chaos is so bold.

For that we will need more devotees.

You don't have to worry about that.

Many of our old comrades are gathering. We are gaining more followers every day.

Good. Chaos is never wrong.

However...

However? Is there a problem?

We're running out of food for all these people.

Hmm...are you sure? It hasn't been long since we last stocked up.

Well, that's because you... Uhh... Keep eating it all because of all your exercising.

Hmm, I see. It was necessary. It was the will of Chaos.

I know, I know, I'm just saying.

Gather our brothers and sisters of Chaos, it's time to plunder.

Oh, plundering! I love plundering!

We must convert more to our cause on the way, too.

Once we have an army, we may begin a great war against Ezera.

Our first goal will be the fall of Holy Order of the Blue Cross!

Once they're gone, the other Orders will think twice before trying to stand in our way!

Hail Chaos!
