Tales of Zestiria the X

The bridge...

We can't go to Marlind this way.

We should send medicine at least!

But even a boat can't make it across these currents.

Alisha!

A river this size... must have a detour!

That's it!

We must get to Marlind!

Edna...

It really doesn't matter...

Don't forget your promise to save my brother.

I won't!

Sorey...

Is that your reason for going to Rolance?

You find it strange?

Not really. I'm just surprised at such a frivolous reason.

The Celestial Record is like the scriptures to Sorey.

#09 City of the Epidemic The Celestial Record is like the scriptures to Sorey.

#09 City of the Epidemic

#09 City of the Epidemic Rolance is supposed to have many ruins that depict the dragon as a god.

Rolance is supposed to have many ruins that depict the dragon as a god.

You got that from the book too?

Yes! That's why I want to travel the world and see.

Even if it's a wasted trip, that's my goal.

Fine, I'll tag along.

Sorey...

Sorey, during this time,

you've confronted hellions as well as Malevolence in the land,

and purified them.

So let me ask you.

What does "purify" mean to you?

What it means?

What does "purify" mean?

You don't even know that and you're a Shepherd?

You'll come face to face with all kinds of hellions on your journey.

Many different kinds and sizes.

Your resolve as a Shepherd to purify them...

That has never been in doubt.

But if you just randomly confront hellions...

you could be swallowed up by Malevolence one day.

But then, what do I do?

What's important is to use your imagination.

- Imagination? - Yes.

Imagine this fire is a hellion and purify it.

Understand what the Malevolence is from the core.

And determine what to do with it as a Shepherd.

Not even close.

It just doesn't go the way I want.

You've never purified a person who turned into a hellion.

You need training for that too.

Sorey's definitely has the disposition to be a Shepherd.

But he's driven only by

a pure instinct "to save those in need," so it's fragile.

Mikleo...

It won't be long before you are needed.

No!

You can't!

A Normin seraph?

Power is...Normin!

D-Did you do that just now?

Y-Yeah...

Oh, I'm pooped.

Ah, I'm revived!

Uh... Your name was Mikleo, right?

You saved me!

O-Oh...

You're a Normin?

As you say...

I am Atakk, a Normin seraph. Nice to meet you.

You seem to be a young seraph, Mikleo, but you are well-versed.

My foster parent told me.

That thanks to Normins who lived in each region...

humans and seraphim had a good relationship.

Normin seraphim are weak,

but we have the ability to intensify the power of other seraphs.

Yes, you gave me a surprise earlier.

Although that didn't purify the hellion...

Atakk...

If you live in these woods, you should move away.

I guess it's time.

Where are you headed from now, Mikleo?

I...

I plan to go to the base of that cloud.

That's not an ordinary cloud.

I'm worried that something is happening there.

It's been there for a few days now.

But what will you do when you get there?

I must find my friend.

Friend?

Decided!

I'll come with you until I find my next home.

If we join forces like earlier, we can defeat hellions!

What do you say?

Sure, I don't mind.

To our friendship, Atakk.

Huh?

Master Shepherd! Princess Alisha sent a message!

Griftlet Bridge has...

Bridge?

- I'm borrowing your horse. - Please be careful.

Alisha...

It stopped raining?

What's...?

It's not an ordinary storm.

Everyone, let's put off the exploration.

Focus only on delivering the medicine.

Princess!

Let's go.

First, we deliver medicine to Marlind.

We can move troops after the weather has cleared up.

Your next order...

What's going on?

What is this rain?!

Sorey... Look up!

A hellion?!

Anyone hurt?!

The Shepherd...

It's dangerous, so stay away.

What is Oroboros doing here?!

Oroborus?

A powerful hellion... This storm is his doing.

I'll protect the others.

All right!

Edna!

I should show you how I pass judgment.

All right...

Hephsin Yulind!

It seems you're managing your power well.

Yeah! Let's settle this right now!

What?!

A dragon?!

- No... That's Drake. - Drake?

A pup...before it becomes a dragon.
