>>5923567>“Bennett! Cease this madness! Anacharsis has poisoned your mind! The Goddess won’t be returning today. He’s using you to drive these people to their death! He’s going to summon the Agarthan gods back to this world!”“I will pay no heed to your lies, Witch.” Bennett says, a strange look of clarity clouds his face. Putting away the tome, he unsheathes his bow and faces you. “I have seen her glory for myself. I have seen the deliverance and love that she promises her children. She alone will save us from the shackles of Agartha. She has bestowed upon me the tools necessary to herald her arrival!”
>“You don’t understand! You’re being-”Bennett pulls the string back on his bow, and a great pressure is released. You watch as an arrow seemingly made of magic materializes on the string. The man is wrapped in a powerful blue aura, not unlike what you’d sensed from Lysithea moments ago. Two Crests materialize over his shoulders as if they were wings. The Crests of Maculi and Indech.
“The time has come for me to face my demon! Watch me, my Goddess!”
You didn’t recognize that bow, but based on the power coming from Bennett, you knew right away what was happening. That was a Hero’s Relic. One that corresponded to the power of one of his Crests. That tome of his must also be a Hero’s Relic. It was likely responsible for calling down the tornado that cut you off from the rest of your allies.
You looked at Ingrid, who appeared greatly unnerved. This was different from the corpse warriors. Though their Relics were still dangerous, they were wasted in the hands of unthinking, unskilled lumps of flesh. But this man in front of you, alive and capable of great harm, possessed not just one, but two Crests and Relics.
Bennett was the last thing standing between you and facing Anacharsis. There was no going back. This was your own trial too. One you must surpass.
