Fantasia Sango – Realm of Legends (幻想三國誌)

The specter of the malevolent wangliang

is a given in a chaotic world at war.

The Tianyuan, a group of deities and immortals who preserve order,

created the Hunters to root them out.

They wield the might of the Guizhan,

who feeds on the miasma to become a demon at will.

All things must pass.

A battle of the fates has no end.

"Fantasia Sango - Realm of Legends"

Man, another day, another crazy mission!

And another day spent risking our lives.

Oh? So you actually did something?

Now listen here, you little...

--Whoa! What are you doing?! --You better watch your mouth!

--Are you okay? Physically? --Tea caddies don't have mouths!

--Yes--of course. --Tea caddies don't have mouths!

Maybe Linking Chain was to blame.

It's beyond reckless, taking on miasma like that.

Not compared to what Xiao Ling does.

I've performed a light purification, but you still ought to rest up.

Right.

I'll go find us our lodgings.

Xiao Ling?

Aw, she certainly has her adorable side.

Oh, my. That does sting a bit, I have to say.

Thank you.

Little by little. One step at a time.

She sure has you fooled.

There you go again.

I'm famished. Let's eat!

All right, let's do that before we find an inn.

It'll be my treat.

Such juicy meat! And seasoned to perfection, too!

My reward to you for your excellent work thus far.

That's not the only reason you're here.

What's going on?

We've gotten reports about this hooded fortuneteller woman.

So it's her.

I thought she was suspicious and followed her--until she spotted me.

She must have some link to all these marauding wangliang.

I was able to zero in on her whereabouts, at the very least.

You are to head to the capital, in the southeast of Shenzhou's Central Plain.

What gives, brother?

They're asking you to become governor general!

Why won't you accept?

I'm not in this for rank or status!

It's all about the people.

But the people want you to take the post.

The craftiest agents of chaos have targeted our nation,

chased it to the brink of extinction.

Our governor general has sought aid from all quarters,

but found no one willing to fight a military genius

who has a million-man army.

You three are the only ones to step up:

the so-called "Peach Garden brothers."

You are the only ones who can take this country's reins.

The people wish it to be so.

Still, I...

Why hesitate? Accept already!

Be quiet!

Can't you see where our brother is coming from?

No, I don't! And I'll be damned if I ever will!

Begging your pardon-- my brother is hot-tempered.

Not at all. We'll speak again another day.

Brother, please consider his feelings as well.

We cannot save the people by fretting about appearances.

Apologies.

Give me a break--we're supposed to find one woman in this crowd?

Let's split up.

I'll go with...

...Xiao Ling.

That leaves me and Ding Yan.

Let Xiao handle this!

Hey!

Whoops! I beg your pardon.

Sorry about that.

Xiao Ling?

I'm sorry.

Really, don't mention it.

That's a fine beard and blade you've got there.

Hm? Ah!

Yes, I'm quite proud of them both.

By the way, have you seen a big fellow bearing a long lance?

No.

My little brother. He's a mean drunk.

I hope he's not out causing trouble again.

Your little brother, eh?

He's quick to drown every new problem in liquor.

A real pain, that one.

But still you cherish him.

It's written all over your face.

Goodness me! Now that's embarrassing.

Not at all--I know how you feel.

I have a little brother myself.

How're we s'posed to fight for this country if we never put down roots?

Whatever happened to our duty, huh?

Allow me, General.

I've heard rumors about your elder brother.

Yeah--and I'm sayin' that stuff for his own good!

Of course you are.

It would bring eternal regret should he die

without fulfilling the oath you swore in the Peach Garden.

Are you kidding?! I'd do anything to keep my brother safe!

Yes...

Anything.

We can search for him, too, if you'd like.

That won't be necessary.

Look!

He's spewin' out a ton of miasma!

That idiot--drunk again!

Don't go near him!

What?!

What are you doing?

Big bro! Let's go slay the governor general and all his men!

If we kill 'em all, the whole country'll belong to our brother!

What... what is all this?

Be careful--your brother's been possessed by a wangliang!

A wangliang?

A monster that feeds on the darkness in our hearts!

So you're...

Stay outta my way, big bro!

Keep your head!

Killing the leaders would only sully our sworn duty!

I'm doing this because of our duty!

Purification Sonata!

"Jinghua Zouming"

Who are you?!

Driving out wangliang is our job!

With no country and no troops, we couldn't fight even if we wanted to.

I'll make our brother conquer this country...

...and you're not going to stop me!

You fool!

He's trying to honor all his duties--can't you see?

Have you forgotten our oath in the Peach Garden?

Our brother wants to govern with his mind, not his might--

that's why we joined him in the first place!

Don't let the wangliang lead you astray!

Nope, nope, nope! This fellow is all mine!

--Barf! --There's a face on his neck!

--What the-- --There's a face on his neck!

It's a Carbuncle!

I'd like to see you try to separate us!

If you insist!

No, Xiao Ling!

This is no ordinary possession.

The Carbuncle's become one with its host's body!

If we're not careful, we'll only hurt the man!

Exactly right.

Kill the wangliang and the man dies with it.

Forcing the two apart will only end the same way.

It's her!

I knew it! She's been controllin' the wangliang!

And there's not a thing you can do about it.

Of all the underhanded...

I knew you couldn't do it!

Why, you...

But you know what?

Thing is...
