Upon entering the building, they witnessed the most horrible sight any would ever see. Dead bodies were everywhere. 


"Quick! Go and check if there are any survivors!"


But there were no survivors, all was lost.  Life that once was living on earth ended in the blink of an eye.


"S-Sir! It's..." One of his men called, pointing down at the lifeless body of a woman.


The Captain of the unit looked grim as he saw the familiar corpse before him. The woman had flaming orange hair  and wore a Nile green dress.


"... The eighth wizard saint, Alcippe."


Her body was clean and void of any specks of dirt or splotches of blood, unlike the dozens of bodies scattered everywhere which was layered with blood and some even have their entrails peaking out. Her body simply looks too pure to be in such a vile environment.

The 4th god of Ishgar, Warrod Sequen spoke first, "A pillar of black and red.. Disfigured corpses... Could it be..?" He tilted his head and wrinkled his brow,

'It can't be him. Alcippe's his favorite daughter, unless..'

"Say, Yajima.. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it true that Alcippe had a sister?"


Yajima paused for a moment, then gave a slight shake of his head as he said, "Well yes, but reports say Alcippe's sister is already dead."

"Dead? What's the cause?"

"I'm trying to remember the file.." Yajima said hurriedly, splaying a hand across his chin in contemplation. One finger caressed his lips. Warrod was about to say something when Yajima suddenly put his hand in the air,
