“啪嗒……”
血滴入水中，掀起金色的涟漪。
“剑旗爵，你可曾想过，此战之后，我们该去往何方？”
执剑的少女沉默许久，摇了摇头。
“等到反叛的浪花散尽，我们就去向星海，那里一定有你想要的清澈大海。”
她露出一抹微笑，挥杖向天。
“众神让我们相互厮杀，让翁法罗斯自绝于银河，我便要剑指众神。无论是天下的众神，还是天外的众神。”
“啪嗒……”
血滴入水中，掀起金色的涟漪。
“剑旗爵，若有一天，我命令你向我挥剑，你会怎么办？”
少女继续沉默以对，以为那不过又是一个残忍的玩笑。
“请一定用最锋利的剑刃。这样，才对得起那些因我而牺牲的将士。”
她将代表自己的棋子掷出棋局——
“瞧，有舍才有得，棋路宽阔多了。”
“啪嗒……”
血滴入水中，掀起金色的涟漪。
“剑旗爵，你觉得谁能在我们身后，接过逐火的重任？”
她们不约而同看向了远处的“金织”。
“这尾小金鳟，终会变成池中的大鱼儿。”
“啪嗒……”
血滴入水中，掀起金色的涟漪。
“许多人猜测我向塔兰顿交易了什么，百战百胜的力量，还是律法的权能…呵，那根本无需神明的帮助……”
故人身影消散，她感到寒冷逼近，天空漆黑一片，仿佛没有星光的洞穴。
很久以前，她也曾在彻骨的寒冷中，亲眼见到流着黄金血的孩子被带走。
“可在那吃人的世道，让自己拥有黄金的血…才有推翻这一切的机会，哪怕…我将以此模样度过一生……”
蓝发的女孩闭上双眼。
“但真正的愿望自始至终…只有一个……”
从几乎冻毙荒野的乞儿，到傀儡一般的王女，到与神相争的领袖，她亲手将自己擢升为棋手，又亲手将自己当作弃子抹去——
“我要，征服世间不公的命运！”
Character Story: Part IV
• Unlocked at Character Level 80
"Drip."
A drop of blood falls into water, sending golden ripples across the surface.
"Dux Gladiorum, have you thought about where our paths might lead after this battle ends?"
The sword-wielding girl stands in thoughtful silence before shaking her head.
"After the rebellion settles, we'll head for the stars. You'll find your crystal-clear ocean out there, I promise."
With a faint smile, she lifts her scepter skyward.
"The gods have pitted us against each other, letting Amphoreus end its own life in the cosmos. So I'll turn my blade on them, on every god, whether in our world or beyond."
"Drip."
A drop of blood falls into water, sending golden ripples across the surface.
"Dux Gladiorum, what if someday I command you to turn your blade against me?"
The girl remains silent, assuming it's just another of her cruel jokes.
"I'd want your sharpest edge. Anything less would dishonor those who sacrificed themselves for my cause."
She tosses the chess piece that represented herself off the board.
"See? To lose is to gain. New paths have emerged."
"Drip."
A drop of blood falls into water, sending golden ripples across the surface.
"Dux Gladiorum, who do you think can take up the heavy burden of the Flame-Chase journey once we're gone?"
In perfect unison, their gaze falls upon the distant "Goldweaver."
"That little golden trout will one day become the most magnificent fish in this pond."
"Drip."
A drop of blood falls into water, sending golden ripples across the surface.
"Many speculate about what I traded with Talanton. Was it the power of endless victory, or the authority of law... Heh. I've never needed any divine help for those..."
The silhouette of her past companion faded away. She felt the cold creeping in, the sky pitch black like a starless cave.
Long ago, she had also witnessed, in bone-chilling cold, a child with golden blood being taken away.
"But in this world that devours people, having golden blood... is the only chance to overthrow everything. Even if... I must live like this for the rest of my life..."
The blue-haired girl closes her eyes.
"But I've only wished for one thing... since the beginning..."
From a beggar child nearly frozen to death in the wilds, to a princess who was no better than a puppet, then to a commander who challenged gods... She personally elevated herself from pawn to player, only to sacrifice herself when the endgame demanded it...
"I wish to conquer the tyrannical fate of this world!"
