Radiant

Monsters called Nemesis bring disaster.

The only ones who can fight these dangerous foes are the sorcerers.

However, the sorcerers are considered tainted beings and feared by most.

I'll ask once more.

Why, and for whom, do you fight?

I...

Oh, no!

Hey, come on. We're not done talking.

Thanks a lot!

I don't really get all this, but you saved me, right?

See ya later!

I'm going to blow everything away!

Don't do this!

The island is going to fall apart!

If you don't like it, then try to make us stop!

If you can get close to us, that is!

I finally made it!

To Stop the Sound of the Wind -Serenade-

"To Stop the Sound of the Wind."

Are you the one controlling the Nemesis? The Domi-whatever?

And you're the sorcerer who fought Konrad.

I'm Seth.

I'm impressed you're alive after falling from this height.

You must have remarkable luck.

I thought I was a goner,

but I can't die yet!

After you managed to survive that... You're a fool!

Tell me... What did you show up here hoping to do?

I came to stop you, obviously!

Stop trying to destroy this island!

I don't think so.

Wait!

Please turn back!

Why are we running away?

That tower will soon fall.

We can save no one if we are smashed to bits.

We must distance ourselves from it so we don't go down with it.

But...

This is nothing compared to Alma's punishments or Yaga's training!

Too close!

Skull Burst!

Magic this weak won't be enough!

Do you realize what you're doing?

You're helping your own enemy!

My enemy?

All I'm trying to do is protect the people in the town!

Protect them?

Don't protect them! Don't help them!

The people of this town aren't worth that!

What are you talking about?

That muscle-brain is the one to blame for all this!

If you defeat him, that'll—

That'll do what?

That'll solve everything?

Just how stupid are you?

You think just getting rid of one Inquisitor is enough?

You've got it backwards.

Huh?

They overlook violence out of fear for themselves.

They wag their tails for authority figures.

They call sorcerers "infected" and offer them as sacrifices.

They're the ones fueling the Inquisitors so they always get their way!

Yeah, but even so...

You'd kill everyone in this town because they discriminate against us?!

Exactly.

So you're going to do the same thing Konrad did?

I don't like the look in your eyes.

Listen. No matter how hard you try,

they're never going to accept you.

No matter how you curry favor with them, humans will call you—

will call us—

infected people and fear us.

I didn't gain the ability to use magic because I wanted to.

Seth, I think you know in your heart which side you should be on.

In that case, Seth, which are you?

Which side am I on?

I'm...

I'm not like that!

I'll use my magic to save everyone!

It would seem you're not like me.

You're a dog who's been tamed by his master.

You're going to save those good, fine people who are being

persecuted by the nasty sorcerer, right?

But you know what? Those good, fine people

tore me away from my mother!

They let my friends die!

They torment us for fun,

but the moment a Nemesis appears,

they expect us to sacrifice ourselves!

If you want to protect people like that, then you...

are not like me...

in the slightest!

Seth... Seth's in trouble!

Veneficium Revelare.

You're wrong!

They feared us as monsters and threw us in a cage.

You're wrong!

They tied us up and tried to kill us.

You're wrong!

They took everything from us!

You're wrong!

And you want to protect those people?!

You're really nothing like me at all!

You're wrong!

You're wrong!

You're wrong!

You're wrong!

I'm... the same as you!

Oh, of course.

Grimm, did you figure something out?

Indeed. It appears the battle is already over.

What? Then is Seth...

The warring Fantasia has vanished,

because Seth has stopped fighting.

To express it in musical terms,

the two of them are performing the same score now.

What does that mean?

It means Seth is in agreement with her.

You're exactly right.

I can't forgive them for all they've done to me, either.

I've thought so many times that I want to destroy everything.

And what about now?

In all this time you've spent just enduring it,

have the people's attitudes changed?

Have they accepted us?

Have they given you a reason not to fight the Nemesis?

No.

I still have dreams.

About the childhood I spent in hiding,

about always being on the run...

I had magic, so I could've easily gotten back at them.

But Alma told me I couldn't do that, no matter what,

and I've stuck to that.

I was frustrated. I was scared.

Then you understand why I came back to this island, right?

And you know that what I've done was necessary!

I'm not doing this just to fulfill a lust for revenge!

Yeah... I know.

But I refuse to become the kind of monster they think I am.

Is it over?

The island's stopped shaking.

Can you see what's going on?

What a farce this is.

What a ridiculous masque.

And I've been taken in.

So you followed your master's orders to the letter, then.

It's not that.

Then what is it?!

Stop.
