Transcript[]

Vatista: They lurked in the Night, guarding the village against the frequent assaults from the outside world. The fight would continue for some time.

Most of their opponents could be easily overcome with the power of EXS. The peace in the village was protected…

But the time would come when the the Night Blade's fate would be challenged…

Story-cg01

They heard the rumors of the Village of Sorcery by chance. A great organization from far across the sea, Licht Kreis.

With the ultimate goal of controlling the EXS of this land, they appeared in the village, leading behind them a force greater than the village could defend against.

Their opponents were not normal humans, nor were they inexperienced fighters. They were professionals who made a living from battle.

This would be the Night Blade's first experience fighting fellow EXS wielders. It would be no ordinary fight. The Night Blade prepared themselves for a fight fiercer than they had ever imagined.

The knowledge they gained of the power of EXS were thrown out in the face of the Licht Kreis, who pressured them into submission.

Unsurprisingly, the talks between both parties broke down. Without any room for further negotiation, the Licht Kreis resolved to reach a resolution by force.

The Night Blade countered in order to protect themselves, and both sides built up the momentum that would lead to an enormous battle.

Story-cg02

The leader of the Licht Kreis's forces was a young man named Waldstein, and the leader of the Night Blade opposite him was a young boy who would later be called Kuon.

The Licht Kreis's strengths lay in their resources and raw power, while the Night Blade fought with unparalleled knowledge of the lay of the land.

However, neither side desired a large battle that would cause extensive casualties. After a few skirmishes, representatives from both sides dueled one another.

It was between the fighting god Waldstein, who had overcome countless battles with brute strength to overpower his enemies, and Kuon, who though lacking in experience, was blessed with a natural gift for combat.

Kuon had been bestowed an immense EXS by the Hollow God, and a great power dwelled within him.

Story-cg03

The two of them crossed blades. It was an even match. At the end of a long struggle, the curtain fell, with victory going to Kuon.

The part of the profound secret art of the Hollow God that dwelled within Kuon was an immense power that would rival what we now call the Re-births.

Waldstein aimed to destroy that power, using the last of the strength left to him.

Even in defeat he persisted, in order to fulfill the mission given to him by his master.

Story-op11

The source of the immense EXS that dwelled within Kuon, a power that he had risked his life to protect, was in danger of being shattered.

However, in the face of this power, Waldstein was unable to destroy it.

Instead, the massive EXS that had been unleashed flowed into Waldstein's body.

Story-op12

He was devoured by the EXS and transformed into a hideous beast.

Waldstein writhed in pain, fighting against the EXS that berserked within him.

His vessel was one that might have been suitable in making the power his own, but he knew that would not happen.

To destroy the power inside him, Waldstein attempted to take his own life, but he could no longer move even a finger of his own will.

He existed only to consume this EXS, to live as a primordial creature of the Hollow. He was controlled by another version of himself that now showed itself through the Abyss.

It pained Kuon to witness this. With so much respect for the worthy opponent before him, Kuon could not simply kill Waldstein or send him into the Void. However, even he did not know how to stop this.

Story-cg04

At this time, Vatista was there, overseeing the events that had occurred. She stepped forward to lend a hand.

To save Kuon, she gave him one of the feathers that adorned her back. A sword of purification to be used as a mediator.

Fortunately, Vatista had not been directly charged with determining the resolution of the fight herself. She had observed that quieting them both with her strength would be much more simple.

Story-cg05

In actuality, she had been given orders with such broad possibilities for interpretation. Hers was an indirect interpretation, yet one that was not mistaken.

Still, something made her make the decision she did.

To entrust the sword to him.

She lent him the sword in order to resolve the situation. In order to limit the damage that was dealt in that moment.

Story-cg06

It was a sword created in a hurry. Kuon held it, feeling its limitless power, and cut into the surging EXS within Waldstein's body.

In a single swing, the power of purification and the determination of Kuon's will drove most of the EXS from Waldstein's body.

Calm returned to Waldstein, who had nearly been consumed by the Void, and his life was thus spared.

And that is how the fight between the Night Blade and the Licht Kreis came to a temporary end.

Story-cg07

Waldstein was defeated in battle, and his life spared by the enemy. He was touched by Kuon's humanity, and after returning from the depths of death, would turn to the side of the Night Blade.

In his last order to the Licht Kreis, Waldstein commanded his forces to withdraw from the land.

And withdraw they did.

The origins of the EXS, and the great battle that followed would be etched into history as The Licht Kreis War.

It is a short tale, not to be spoken of much in the beginning.

The night from long ago, and the crossroads that was created from it.

Each of them chose one of those roads. Roads that would lead to the present…
