5| Spright / Bystial Arc

Almost as if he was being drawn there, "Albaz" returned to that land. "Great Sand Sea - Gold Golgonda". The ones awaiting there were the remaining "Tri-Brigades". "Mercourier", the mechanical bird that "Albaz" released during the previous fight, had reached out to them.

And thus, each of them assembled the forces of the 'Fang Tribe', the 'Claw Tribe', and the 'Wing Tribe' that they commanded, one after the other, into an alliance. "Albaz" was certain: the remnants of the power inside of him, and the dragonic power inside of that guy, were calling out for each other.

What awaited the glaring "Albaz" was a colossal shadow eclipsing the skies, as if dominating them. It was the castle of the "Despia", unleashing darkness.

The doors of "Proskenion" slowly opened, and from them, "Cartesia" the most immaculate and chaotic being, created by the combination of 666 of the most pure souls, crushed by love and despair appeared.

Although she took on the form of a sweet young girl reminiscent of "Ecclesia", she was an amalgamation of grudges and her body lacked a true controller. Her vacant eyes were constantly open. The dimly-glowing mark on her forehead became the dark crystallization of a 'Hole' itself after absorbing the "Brands" of every Virtuous, and was released from its temporary body.

With the awakening of "Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous", the interior of "Despia, Theater of the Branded" began to pulsate. "Dramaturge" used his powers amplified by the "Brands" to open countless 'Holes' in the firmament.

Gigantic demi-dragons appeared from the Abyss that was swallowed up by the void. They were the sovereigns of what laid beyond the 'Hole', in an era where mortals existed, gods existed, and a world existed, ruled through force. Marionette dragon kings that were mere shadows of their former selves. Even being bound by chains, their strength was enough to tear up the skies and make the earth tremble.
