The Hidden Truth

The Soul Stone, which gives off a mixed feeling of 'Grudge', 'Fury', 'Pain' and 'Despair' is showing a strong reaction.

Perhaps, you might be able to use the Invocation Lamp with this stone.

• Let's bring the Soul Stone closer to the device. (accepts the quest)

The Soul Stone's reaction is getting stronger.

• Let's bring it more closer.

!!!

Suddenly the stone's reaction stopped.

Not only that, the mixed feeling from the Soul Stone seems to have been weakened.

You can now feel different things like 'Peace' from the stone instead of the violent feeling.

Wait, there is a strange feeling of 'Regret'...why?

If this is not the place that I am looking for, where can I summon a ghost by using this Soul Stone?

• Let's find it.

!!!

What happened?

It did not react toward the Soul Stone when it was filled with violent feelings, but now it does.

• Let's bring the Soul Stone closer.

The Soul Stone is gone!

And now the lamp starts reacting toward it.

Finally it is time to talk to the weapon's owner.

• Let's find the target to use the lamp.

This is it!

You saw this corpse before you reached at the final destination.

Now you will know the reason why he died in this place.

Who was he? Was he a member of the expedition or just another victim?

And why did Killian Graushuten leave his body in this place?

• Let's try to speak with the corpse.

Denaro Kachierie

Are...you...alive?

Where are the undead monsters? Where am I...? ...!

Am I dead...? Is it so...?

Well, I do not understand why Killian has left me here...

Oh, I am sorry, let me introduce myself. My name is Denaro, Denaro Kachierie.

May I ask you why you have summoned me from rest?

• I want to know who you are.
• What do you have to do with Killian Graushuten?
• Tell me about the Soul Stone.

Denaro Kachierie

Well, when I was alive, I was a treasure hunter and a guardian at the same time.

But...I have failed to fulfill my duty, and now I am a mere ghost, as you see.

Please...don't ask me about it any longer.

• What do you have to do with Killian Graushuten?
• Tell me about the Soul Stone.

Denaro Kachierie

Killian Graushuten is the captain guardian of this level.

This tower is built on a space warp. You don't go down to the underground level by heading downstairs. You don't go up to a higher level by heading upstairs. No one knows how high this tower is or how huge it is.

Killian Graushuten may be inconceivably strong, but he is nothing but a mere captain guardian.

I was a member of the Undead Ground expedition. I was leading the group with Maximilian.

• Tell me about the Soul Stone.
• Maximilian...you mean Leonharte Maximilian?

Denaro Kachierie

Soul Stone... It is a spirit crystal and...a prison for the spirit that is held within.

I will tell you more about Soul Stone after telling you about Killian Graushuten, the Undead General.

Denaro Kachierie

Oh, do you know him? He is an amazing man.

I do not know how well you know about him, but he abandoned the group to pursue possible treasures.

At first, I tried to stop him...but after all, I joined him to pursue my greed. I...I abandoned my group for my selfish need.

And I saw everything that happened.

He touched the sacred treasure of the undead, and the enraged undead annihilated all of us.

I knew that the members were being killed. But I could not help them because I was coward...

• Please continue.

Denaro Kachierie

I was coward. I could not go out and protect my members from being killed by the Death Knight. Death Knight...he was too strong.

I was desperate and tried hard to justify my wrong. I thought that investigating the true identity of this tower and the undead is more important than anything else; even than protecting the group from being killed. I thought that I must survive to let the world know about the truth behind this tower.

So...I abandoned them. I let them be killed and ran away.

• Do you mean that there is no exit here?

Denaro Kachierie

...Well, I want to believe that there must be an exit, since Killian is gone now.

Anyways, I was so desperate and out of my mind, I decided to meet with the Death Knight.

At the time, I gave up everything including myself. But if there was one thing that I needed the most, it was the truth.

Thus, I asked to meet with the Death Knight in exchange of my soul.

...Now I know that it was stupid, but at the time, I was convinced that it was the best thing that I could do...

• Tell me about the conversation with Killian.
• Tell me about the Soul Stone.

Denaro Kachierie

...I can't...I am too terrified to speak of it.

• Tell me about the Soul Stone.
• Why did he leave your body here?

Denaro Kachierie

In exchange of my soul, I was able to meet with Killian. After the conversation, my soul was confined by him and the other guardians.

And Killian cast a magic shield on the Soul Stone to torture me even after I died.

He was taking his anger out on me because my members and I have caused them trouble.

I couldn't do anything but being angry and desperate in this eternal darkness...

Denaro Kachierie

It must be a kind of warning toward another intruders.

I guess that it is time for me to go.

If you want to know about the conversation between me and Killian, please take this with you.

You have defeated him, and you deserve to ask him what you are wondering.

I wish your safety and...farewell.

• ...Farewell.

This is where you have met Killian, and where you feel the death the most within this Tower of the Dead.

Although the Death Emblem does not show any reaction, your instinct tells you that this is the place. If you are wrong, that means that it is not under your control any longer.

• Let's place the Death Emblem on the Altar.

A dark light appeared and took away the Death Emblem on the altar.

It was as expected...

• Let's find a place that the Invocation Lamp is responding to.

This torturing device is still giving off dismal vibes.

However, the Soul Stone is no longer reacting to the device.

Neither does the lamp.

• Let's pass.

The Soul Stone is gone!

And now the lamp starts reacting toward it.

Finally it is time to talk to the weapon's owner.

• Let's find the target to use the lamp.

Denaro Kachierie, hopefully he will be able to rest in peace now.

• Let's pass.

The Death Emblem has disappeared already.

You cannot find any particularity about the altar.

• Let's pass.

Killian! Killian Graushuten the captain guardian and the ruler of the Death Knights!

As the man who defeated you, I am here to speak with you!

• Killian Graushuten, come before me!

Killian Graushuten

I am a proud member of the Death Tribe in Undead Clan.

I am a guardian of this holy land.

You, who have brought the Death Emblem, since you have defeated me, and I am obligated to accept your request.

However, remember! This is only for now, and I am not going to let you act rude before me any longer!

• As you wish. I have a question. Do you know Denaro Kachierie?

Killian Graushuten

Denaro Kachierie?

Well, I seem to recall the memory of that human weakling. So?

• I want to know about the conversation between you and him.

Killian Graushuten

...You summoned me just to waste my time?! ...Fine, I will let you know!

I shall let you know about this holy land of the dead, about the Absolute Soul, about the ruler of the soul and about us, Undead Clan.

• Tell me about this Tower of the Dead.
• What is the Absolute Soul?
• What about Undead Clan?

Killian Graushuten

This is our holy land!

This land is protected by a piece of the Absolute Soul, and in this land, we live forever!

Long before you humans were born, long before we were restricted and subordinated by the death,

we were flourishing in glory, and this is the promised land that we will bring our honorable days back!

• What is the Absolute Soul?
• What about Undead Clan?

Killian Graushuten

It is the most powerful and the greatest spirit.

It grants enormous power not only to the ruler but even to the ruler's followers.

There were only two men who were chosen to be the rulers of this world, but the first one failed and his successor has given up.

However, we found it before than anybody else!

After the first ruler failed, it was scattered into 7 pieces. Now, after the seventh one, the most powerful piece disappeared, the rest of the pieces are free from their restrictions.

That means the end of your human world!

• What about Undead Clan?

Killian Graushuten

You foolish human being!

If we didn't fail to control the Absolute Soul and if we didn't fail to keep our power, we would have been the ruler of this world at least for 20,000 years!

We were subordinated by the ruler for 1000 years, but now he's gone and his successor is gone, too! No one can stop us now!

Who can be our match? Those weak monster clans? way. Maybe Dark Clan could be an interesting match. But that is all. We are immortal and we will never be beat!

Human? Hah, they don't even understand where their forces were originated.

• Funny, I defeated you, even if you are immortal.

Killian Graushuten

Well, I am not able to retrieve all of my power without my master.

This is all I can tell you, human!

Wait and fear of pain that is ahead you!

I wish that the death will show you a mercy.

• No, thanks! I am going to kick your master's ass as well as yours! (completes the quest)

It is still giving off the dismal vibes, but the Soul Stone does not react toward it any longer.

Neither does the lamp.

• Let's pass.

The Soul Stone is gone and the lamp starts reacting toward the weapon!

Finally you might be able to talk to the owner.

• Let's find a place where the lamp is responding to.

Denaro Kachierie, hopefully he will be able to rest in peace now.

• Let's pass.

The Death Emblem has disappeared already.

You cannot find any particularity about the altar.

• Let's pass.
