Story

Invasion of Maple World

Lystor was a High Flora Priest from the snowy mountains, one of the six territories of the High Flora in Grandis. As a Priest, Lystor served as an officer in the Central Army, rising through the ranks to become the adjutant of Reina, the lord of the snowy mountains and an Apostle of Gerand Darmoor. Lystor deeply respected Reina for her commitment to her people, and was fiercely loyal to her as a result.

Lystor served aboard the High Flora battleship, Arteria, the command ship of Reina. Soon after the invasion of Odium, Reina was called to Aboris for a meeting with Darmoor and the other Apostles. There, Darmoor ordered Reina to take the partially awakened Transcendent powers of Empress Cygnus.

Reina returned back to Arteria and met with Lystor, who greeted her and asked how her meeting at Aboris had gone. Reina told him that she had been reporting in to the God-King, who had entrusted her with a red crystal containing a strange, eye-like pattern, which she explained contained the power of a god. As the crystal glowed with energy, one of Reina’s purple eyes turned icy blue as her frost powers emanated out of her.

An apprehensive Lystor asked her whether she planned to use that divine power, noting that he had heard that it required a heavy price to wield. He began expressing his worry that, despite it being an order from the God-King himself, wielding such a dangerous power may harm her, but Reina quickly cut him off and asked him whether he thought of his commander as someone who wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Lystor immediately retracted his statement and told her that there was nothing that she wasn’t capable of, to which Reina replied that his answer would suffice. She then told him that she had already made the necessary preparations before asking him if he had any further questions. When Lystor replied that he had none, Reina ordered him to depart for Maple World, leading an army of frost-enhanced Flora soldiers behind her.

Attack on Ereve

In order to weaken the Empress' defenses, Reina ordered the High Flora to attack various parts of Maple World, forcing the Alliance to spread itself thin in order to defend their citizens. Arteria then arrived over Ereve, using its powerful cannon to destroy Ereve's defensive barrier. As the Alliance - aided by the Adversary - attempted to reactivate the four barrier stones around Ereve, Lystor ordered Arteria to rain down a barrage attack upon the eastern barrier stone, shattering it completely and critically wounding Oz, who had been attempting to restore its capabilities.

From the air, Lystor flew down with his wings and noted that Oz was still alive. Using his sword, he casually slashed through the last Cygnus Knight still standing with Oz before ordering the Flora army to wipe out any survivors. As Oz struggled to stand, Lystor noted that the will of the Cygnus Knights, whom he called the pillar of the Alliance, was quite impressive if its members could still fight while on their deathbed.

In her weakened state, Oz ordered him to get back, to which Lystor scoffed and asked her what she could possibly do to stop him while she was so severely injured. He told her that though he didn’t enjoy fighting someone who could barely hold their weapon, his work was another story. Just then, the Adversary rushed in and attacked Lystor, who immediately teleported back.

Noting that reinforcements had arrived, Lystor mockingly told Oz that it was her lucky day. He then addressed his soldiers and told them that the situation was still under their control before ordering them to advance as planned. Turning to one of his officers, he told them that they could use as many mercenaries as needed, though he warned them not to let Reina’s plan fail at any cost.

As the Adversary held off the Flora soldiers, Lystor contacted Reina and informed her that the structure of the barrier was just as they had anticipated, and with one of the barrier stones destroyed and the other three activated, the enemy had been gathered into one place, just as she had anticipated, to which Reina congratulated Lystor for his good work.

As the battle continued, Lystor noted to himself that that their forces were struggling much more than he had anticipated before wondering whether there was a variable that they had overlooked. Just then, a High Flora officer reported in to Lystor and informed him that the state of their frontlines wasn’t looking good, as the Alliance had a monster who was tearing through their forces. Realizing that the Adversary had entered the field, Lystor told the officer to merely keep them restrained, reminding them that their objective wasn’t to catch a monster. He then added that in just a short while, the next phase of their operation would begin.

Meanwhile, Irena and her Wind Archer reinforcements arrived on the scene after lighting the western barrier stone. Oz then pointed out Lystor to Irena and told her that they needed to defeat him, as he was the one commanding the enemy’s forces. As the Knights pushed forward, Lystor approached the group and noted that the Adversary really was a monster to have pushed their forces so far. However, he then laughed that the mercenaries had also earned their pay as well, having managed to stall them for so long.

Suddenly, an overwhelming wave of icy magic was unleashed by Reina, who arrived on the scene and froze both the Adversary and all of their allies in ice. Reina asked Lystor whether she had kept him waiting, noting that he had done well, as keeping the enemy restrained was no easy task. She explained that thanks to his actions, she had been able to conserve her strength so that she could easily wipe them all out at once.

Lystor accepted her gratitude and replied that it was the least that he could do. Noting that there ought to be no more disruptions, Reina ordered Lystor to kill all the Alliance members frozen in ice while she headed towards her objective. Lystor then ordered his soldiers to wipe out the enemy, telling them not to waste the opportunity that Reina had given them. Before they could attack, however, the Adversary and their allies used all their might to break free from the ice.

As Reina kidnapped Cygnus and brought her aboard Arteria, Shinsoo arrived with Eckhart and his Night Walkers to reinforce Ereve's forces. Reina then contacted Lystor who used his wings to fly down to her location. Reina told Lystor that she was going to begin extracting Cygnus’ powers, to which Lystor warned her that the process would cause a strain on Arteria’s energy supply, which meant that they wouldn’t be able to use their cannons.

Reina replied that they already had the Empress in their hands, and since they had no need to destroy the barrier anymore, they had no need to use the cannons. However, she warned him to take note of the enemy’s movements, as they would undoubtedly try to rescue Cygnus. She reminded him that the God-King wanted the Empress’ power and ordered him not to let the enemy seize her before they extracted it. She then added that as long the enemy had Arteria frozen in place, stopping them was Lystor’s top priority. Lystor then placed an unconscious Cygnus aboard a table, while Reina began the extraction process to drain Cygnus' powers into her draining crystal.

Battleship Defense

As the Adversary and the Alliance mounted a rescue attempt, Lystor flew down behind them and cut through half their forces by opening his wings to launch a powerful dash attack. Lystor commended the Knights for their bravery in coming aboard Arteria, though he declared that they hadn’t thought things through, as their plans would all be for naught once he killed them.

However, Eckhart laughed and asked Lystor whether he truly thought that the Knights would undertake such a mission without knowing that they could lose their lives. He then rallied the Knights into pushing forward and ignoring the enemy’s line of defense, reminding them that their sole mission was to get the Adversary and Gaon to the top floor. However, Lystor managed to slip past Eckhart and pursued the Adversary and Gaon in order to stop them from reaching Reina.

The pair managed to dodge his attack and jumped back, to which Lystor told the Adversary that they were persistent, if nothing else, as they simply didn’t know when to give up. However, he declared that things would finally end here, and that he would make them realize how powerless they were. Gaon told the Adversary to go on ahead, to which the Adversary immediately protested. However, Gaon replied that he wished to help bear the duties and expectations placed upon them, reassuring them that they didn’t need to worry about him, as he was one of the Four Symbols for a reason.

As Lystor moved to attack, Gaon intercepted the blow, allowing the Adversary to rush past them. As the pair fought, Lystor told Gaon that he was testing his patience, to which Gaon replied that he couldn’t give up. However, Lystor retorted that Gaon would regret not giving up, explaining that while the Adversary seemed incredibly strong, they would be no match for Reina. He mockingly asked Gaon whether he could still speak of hope after seeing the Adversary frozen to death, to which Gaon replied that it wouldn’t be happening, as the Adversary was stronger than Lystor realized.

As the battle raged on, Eckhart arrived in order to support Gaon. Lystor noted that he was surprised that the Alliance had managed to hold out with such a small force. However, he told them that it made no difference, as his forces held the advantage in numbers, and that they would soon be wiped out. Just then, however, Alliance reinforcements boarded Arteria and began driving the High Flora back.

As the Alliance began breaking ground, Lystor reported to Reina that their defenses had fallen, and that the enemy had broken through the soldiers on the lower floors. He then told Reina that it seemed as though they would need to use the Vision Bomb after all, as they would be able to destroy all their enemies in one fell swoop if they overlooked the casualties that it would cause for them. Reina then gave Lystor her permission to activate the Vision Bomb and ordered him to get rid of all the Alliance forces.

Lystor then addressed his officers and told them that their final mission was to activate the Vision Bomb and wipe out the enemy. He explained that it didn’t matter how many mercenaries were killed, as their sole objective was to evacuate only High Flora soldiers, and to complete the mission. As his officers left to carry out his orders, Lystor wondered to himself whether Reina would be alright, as the crystal that she was using could hold the power of a god, and that - even for someone for her caliber - she wouldn’t be able to avoid the recoil from it. Because of this, he decided to rush to the throne room, praying that she would be safe until he got there.

Escape from Arteria

In the throne room, the Adversary began fighting Reina, who slowly managed to overpower them. As Reina prepared to deal the killing blow, Cygnus rushed ahead and took the attack in the Adversary's place, mortally wounding her. Just then, the Alliance arrived at the throne room and surrounded Reina, who was forced to use the power of the gods inside the draining crystal to defend herself. However, with the Adversary having destroyed her ice prisoners, whom she had been using to displace the recoil from the crystal, Reina was crippled from channeling its power.

Just as the Alliance began seizing the upper hand, Lystor flew into the room with his wings and quickly pulled Reina into his arms before taking her a safe distance from their enemies. Lystor desperately asked Reina whether she was alright, to which she replied that their mission was complete, and that the God-King would be satisfied. She asked Lystor whether he had made preparations for the Vision Bomb, which he confirmed, explaining that the gas would soon fill up the ship, and that they should hurry and leave. With that, Lystor flew Reina away from the battle.

Aboard the roof of the battleship, Lystor worriedly asked Reina if she was alright. Though severely weakened, Reina noted that she was alright, commending Lystor for his quick thinking in saving her. Lystor noted that he was merely doing his duty, adding that he was particularly worried about her body, as he had noticed that the prisoners who had been holding back the recoil of using the crystal’s power had been destroyed.

Reina confirmed his suspicions and explained that she was simply paying the price, adding that it was nothing but cheating in the end, as such a price couldn’t be helped if she was forcibly channeling the power of a god. Lystor asked Reina whether the enemy had been strong enough to warrant her using so much of her power, which Reina confirmed, explaining that after facing the Adversary, she could say for certain that the story about them killing a god was true.

As Lystor began regretting that he should have stopped them, Reina warned him that he was overstepping his bounds, reminding him that there was no chance that he could have faced an enemy that even she couldn’t defeat. Lystor apologized for his presumption, to which Reina reminded him that the purpose of their mission had been to take Cygnus’ Transcendent powers, and that they had accomplished their goal, which was enough. Though she admitted that it was a shame that they had lost their prisoners, she added that they could gain something far better, for the sake of their nation.
