Objective completed: The dad was sweet cane... Objective completed: The mom gingerbread... Experience rewarded: 0 Gold rewarded: 0 Monsters (1) Roirr - Boss NPCs ??? ??? (Shapeless) Baltael Danyel Roirr Vaal Rewards None Memory Fragment VI Dialogue Loads Danyel. A black-haired child, wrapped in a blanket, is by himself in a pitch black place with only a few rays of light to illuminate his spot; this child is none other than Roirr in a distant past. Roirr: Mama? Roirr: P- papa? Roirr: ......... Roirr begins to shed tears, knowing there is nothing he can do to save himself from his troubled situation; a mysterious voice talks to him from the left. ???: ... Roirr. Roirr turns around to face the mysterious voice. Roirr (momentarily): Pap-? Roirr sees the mysterious voice, who is revealed to be his future SoulAlly, Secundus; he is illuminated by a red ray of light. ???: Do not cry. It is a weakness. ???: And you must never be weak. Roirr: ... Are you an angel? ???: My name is... Secundus. Come. ???: Forget everything of what just happened. ???:You have a destiny... Roirr comes into the red light with Secundus; scene fades to black, before fading back in; back in present day, Roirr—still in the female Magester body—and Vaal are in the Seym as they confront the Shapeless, who is a colossal two-legged monster with faces and mouths wide open in each direction. Vaal: The... Shapeless? Roirr: Indeed. Vaal: Why is it called that? It clearly has a shape. Roirr: I don't really know. It was created by the Magesterium a long, long time ago. At the dawn of the very empire. The Shapeless Empire. Roirr: I supposed they were very bad at names. Vaal: But what IS it? What does it do? Roirr: Now that I have possessed this Magesterium member, I can say that... in my personal opinion, it's a scapegoat. Roirr: Its purpose was to, how should I say this... oversee. It was supposed to be a superior being that the populace worship. An artificial god-emperor. Roirr: In truth, it doesn't really lead anything, but it does select the members of the Magesterium. Roirr: Once one member perishes, a replacement is selected instead. Roirr: It is released once a year to roam the lands, to seek out the unlucky folk who cannot tap into any magic source and... eats them. A feast. Vaal: A harvest, more like. Roirr: It does not hold power over the Magesterium, but it is consulted with ideas that help... shape the empire. Roirr: It isn't an emperor, but it is. Roirr: The entire empire belongs to it, but it doesn't. Roirr: And so if the Magesterium makes a bad decision that reflects poorly on the empire, the Shapeless is blamed... Roirr: ... although it is without a blame. Roirr: The Shapeless is the puppet and the Magesterium pulls the strings. Vaal: You... might have killed every member of the Magesterium, you know? Roirr: I suppose "oops" is in order. Vaal: From what I've just gathered... you might have just liberated the people. Roirr: As I've said, "oops". Roirr: Let's not dwell on this, shall we? I'm getting positively hungry. Vaal: How do you plan on killing this thing? How powerful is it exactly? Roirr: Well, right now I'm at a disadvantage I'm afraid. I "left" my fleshweaving in my old body. Which doesn't exist anymore. Roirr: But... I don't think it can fight, not really... Roirr: It just swallows peo- Roirr: ple... Roirr: Oh! Vaal: "Oh" what? Roirr: This... is simply marvelous! Vaal: I'll just wait until... whatever you're doing passes and then I'll ask you again... Roirr: It... the Shapeless... it swallows people! It eats them! And they appear here, in this chamber! Vaal thinks about Roirr's revelation about the Shapeless as he closes his eyes. Vaal: Listen, I'm not really following your train of thought (and this is saying something, since I can hear your thoughts), care to elaborate? Roirr: I can command it, Vaal. I am the last member of the Magesterium. Roirr: I AM the Magesterium! Vaal: Soooo does that mean we don't have to fight it? Roirr: Are you... what ar- Roirr: Honestly, I need to get a doublet with words "I'm with cretin" embroidered on the back! No, we don't have to fight it!! Roirr: I can command it to leave me alone, go roam the city, eat people and they'll appear here. And I can devour their souls! Vaal: That's a really strange custom, this "harvest". Roirr: Ugh... on the day of this so-called "harvest", the Shapeless would transport non-magical people here... Roirr: ... so that the Magesterium could inject them with the raw mana and make them into walking nexuses. Roirr: For the high ranked members of this society so they could tap into a raw source of mana while they are away from the Capitol. Roirr: Of course after a while these walking, living nexuses would be drained so they always needed more. Roirr: Huh... now that I've said it out loud, it sounds very disturbing. Vaal: Oh yes, and you are such an angel yourself. Roirr: Silence now. Roirr prepares to command the Shapeless. Roirr: Shapeless. Roirr: I am a Magesterium member, am I not? ???: Indeed. Roirr: Outstanding. Roirr: You will listen to me, am I correct? ???: Indeed. Roirr: Fantastic. Roirr: Go forth and lay waste! The Shapeless remain silent as it does not command Roirr's order; Roirr waits a few seconds before he gets annoyed. Roirr: sigh Roirr: I, the Magesterium member whose name is... Bolemira, command you to venture into the streets of the Capitol and begin the harvest... ???: As. ???: You. ???: Wish. ???: Magester. ???: Bolemira. The Shapeless exits the Seym to honor Roirr's command. Roirr: Well, that's convenient. Vaal: So... are you going to eat the piece now or...? Roirr: Oh, I don't think there is any rush anymore. Roirr: I can have the small aperitif before the main dish. Meanwhile, Danyel soulblinks at high speed through the streets of the Capitol, sprinting to get to the Seym alongside Baltael, who is next to him. Danyel: Almost there! Baltael: Can we talk about this? Danyel: What do you mean? Baltael: How are you planning to defeat my father? Danyel: He is not just one man anymore. Baltael: Yes, I said this some time ago. And you keep repeating it. Why does it matter? Danyel: It's as you've brought it up; he isn't just one man anymore. Danyel: He has consumed so many lives during his entire lifespan that he is no longer one being. And I'm planning to use that, as a last resort. Realizing that Danyel is planning to use what Baltael thinks, Baltael tells Danyel about the last resort he mentioned. Baltael: You don't mean- Danyel: Clearly. Baltael: But that's forbidden. You are planning on using a forbidden magic. Are you aware of what this particular spell will do to you? Danyel: That's why I said it's a last resort. Baltael: If it comes to that, and it fails... Danyel: It will not fail. Baltael asks Danyel if he is willing to use that forbidden magic to defeat Roirr. Baltael: Are you really willing t- Danyel: Yes, Baltael! Whatever it takes! Danyel: If he devours the Mana Core piece and escapes, we could have another "sun disappearing" scenario and it will be on me. Danyel: On us. Danyel: If I can't defeat him by any conventional means, I AM using this forbidden spell. Baltael: ........ Suddenly, Baltael and Danyel stop sprinting as they hear a commotion nearby. Danyel: What was that?! Baltael: I'll investigate. Baltael floats above the city while Danyel watches him; he doesn't wait long for Baltael as he has figured out what is happening already. Baltael: It's the Shapeless. Baltael: It's roaming the city! Danyel: Why was it unleashed?! Baltael: It doesn't matter, we need to choose. Baltael: The Shapeless or my father. Danyel: ...... Danyel chooses to face Roirr as he soulblinks to leave the scene; meanwhile, Roirr is prepared to take the piece of the Mana Core. Roirr: Mmmm... Roirr: I think that's enough. Roirr: I am ready! Vaal: Will it hurt? Roirr: Well, it depends on how I want to assimilate it. I can try... possessing it. I can leave this human shell and treat the piece as a vessel. Roirr: but I am not entirely sure if this would work. Vaal: or? Roirr: Or I could use this body and inject the entire piece into it. My soul might handle that, but not the body. Vaal: I say go for the latter. Roirr: Why? Because you're afraid you might disappear if I change bodies again? Vaal: You're so brassy. Is this the woman in you talking? Roirr: Silence. Roirr: Now then, if I may- Roirr reaches to touch the piece of the Mana Core, however, in a critical moment, Danyel arrives at the Seym. Danyel: You may not! Roirr is noticeably startled by the presence of Baltael and Danyel. Roirr: Umm... I... must admit, that caught me by surprise. Roirr: Who are you? Danyel: Baltael, hold her- him! Baltael rushes toward Roirr quickly, further surprising the latter. Roirr: Balt- Roirr: Oh no, you don't! Roirr casts lime energy at Baltael, stunning him. Baltael: Huh? Baltael: I can't- Roirr: Baltael, huh? I think I know you... Baltael: You... you think? You are not sure if you know your own son? Baltael: How much of you is even left in there? Roirr is stunned by hearing Baltael's name; reigniting a small, happier side of him, Roirr prepare to touch Baltael's cheek. Roirr: Baltael, my son! How could I forget! Roirr touches Baltael's cheek briefly as suddenly.... Roirr: Anyway- Roirr touches the Mana Core piece with Bolemira's severed arm, much to Vaal's and Danyel's shock; the piece fuses with Roirr's host, removing human traces of the host's body to create a mana-like humanoid. ???: Haaaaaa... ???: This... is... unimaginable! ???: I feel... everything! ???: I can see sounds! ???: I can- Baltael: Danyel?! Scene shifts to focus on Danyel, who is shocked upon seeing Roirr's ascension as a god. ???: What are you doing, human? Danyel: I am here to stop you! ???: I have just become a God. ???: Why would you throw your life away like this? Baltael: What is- Danyel: Your father just went crazy, that's what. ???: So... many... colors... Baltael: Danyel- Danyel: ...... Battle! - begins battle with Roirr. Heal - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions. Run Away! - returns to Travel Map (Books 3 and 4). Danyel tried to take down the mana-infused Roirr regardless of the consequences that would befall, but he had failed to stop him; Danyel pants as his face is sweating. Danyel: Ungh! pant Danyel: You good? Baltael: Yes, his spell broke... Baltael: I don't- I don't think we can do it. Danyel: Y-yes pant Danyel: Not like this. ???: I have seen the throne of the Gods... and it was empty... Danyel: Ready? Baltael: Dan, don't- Danyel: I don't have anything left to live for!!! Danyel: READY!? Reluctantly, Baltael nods his head and stabs Danyel's chest with his arms, removing Danyel's soul and shattering it in order to cast the forbidden spell; the spell results in Roirr being encased in several runic circles; the energy from the Mana Core piece and various souls are expelled from Roirr's host body; the expulsion of energy and souls can be seen outside of the Capitol; Danyel's hair then turns white and the pupils on his eyes disappear; the expulsion of energy and souls destroys Roirr's host, reducing him to a black skeleton with a beating dark red soul. Baltael: Danyel... ? Danyel is now dead as a consequence of activating the forbidden spell; Baltael begins to grieve. Baltael: Dan... Baltael: It is done... Baltael: We have won- Suddenly, Roirr's skeleton screams as he gets up on his knees; he is now dying due to the fact that his powers are now stripped. Roirr: Aaaaaaaaaarghhh! Baltael: W... what?! Vaal: Sweet Avatars, that was something else! Wooo... Baltael: How can you still be alive?! You should have no soul!!! Roirr: Aaaaaaaiiieeeee!!! Vaal: Stop screaming! Roirr: I aaaaam dyyyyiiiing!!! Vaal: We can't have that! Aren't you glad now that I stuck around? I think I've saved you. Vaal: But now run! Roirr: Hhhhnnnggggg! Baltael: I WON'T let you get away!!! Baltael: Just die!!! Suddenly, Secundus appears and stabs Baltael with his fist. ???: No. Baltael: We... Baltael: ... failed. Baltael disintegrates into pink particles, signifying his death. Roirr: Hhhhhhh.... Hhhhhhh.... ???: Roirr. Roirr: Yoooou... Roirr: Yoou are baaack... Secundus summons a hole in the floor, leading to a dark red pit below Roirr's skeleton. ???: Go. ???: Finish what you have started. Roirr falls through the hole immediately, leaving Secundus alone in the Seym as the scene fades to black. Complete Quest Other information Roirr was not intended to be defeated; losing or fleeing will progress the quest as normal.
