Dark Clan's Confession
Patren's Fate

Veradrix says that ASC's existence is gradually being exposed in secret and that they must hurry their actions. First, Veradrix asks you to inform the investigation team members of ASC's existence and deliver the report to Aldebaran. When you return to the investigation camp, the other members have gone to their respective assigned areas, leaving only Bane. Bane says that Patren and Freed are moving together and that Silverwood disappeared without a word. Bane hands you an activity report, saying that he will tell the members about ASC when they return.

When you return to Veradrix, he says that Aldebaran came by but went to the Sage Tower first because of an urgent matter, asking him to protect Nine. Nine was the youngest researcher at the Sage Tower, but fled recently with confidential information. The Sage Tower was therefore pursuing Nine. However, Veradrix and Aldebaran say that they trust Nine. You must find and protect Nine before the Sage Tower does.

Nine had been hiding out in Bloody Ice. You request support from Henkoff, but Henkoff refuses to carry out the mission, saying that there are no troops in the Colony. Instead, Henkoff says that he will help if there is anything he can do. He says that he will only patrol after you find and bring him Nine's memo.

The patrol team's search reportedly led to the unexpected discovery of a deep cave that had not existed before. The patrol team suspects that it is the Vampire Lair. When you enter the Vampire Lair alone, you find Arionell sobbing inside. Arionell asks out of nowhere whether you came to rescue Aike and Nine. It turns out that Aike and Arionell witnessed Nine being kidnapped while investigating the ruins. Aike entered the Vampire Lair to rescue Nine, but there has been no word from him.

After rescuing both Aike and Nine from the Vampire Lair, you unexpectedly spot Silverwood. When you return to the camp, Veradrix is just about to leave to provide support. Veradrix says that Silverwood kidnapped Patren, who was with Freedrun, and disappeared. Veradrix plans to investigate why Nine was kidnapped by The Vampire once Nine awakens, but Nine's condition is worsening after being infected with vampire venom. To recover from the poisoning, Nine must drink a mixture of antidotes from the Undead Clan, the Mutant Clan, and the Plant Clan. Rin and Yuan have each set out to obtain the antidotes from the Undead Clan and Plant Clan. Veradrix asks you to obtain the antidote from the Mutant Clan Lair.
While obtaining the antidote in Desert Scream, you find a piece of an armband lying near a medicine cabinet. When you show the armband to Veradrix, he says that Rin and Yuan also brought back identical Armband Fragments. Veradrix says it may be an important clue and focuses first on treating Nine. Aldebaran later returns to the investigation camp after hearing about Nine.

Aldebaran marvels that you have become much stronger than before. When you fit together the armband found while obtaining the antidote with Aldebaran, one piece is missing. Unexpectedly, Nine had the last piece. Nine says that he removed it from Silverwood's forearm, and fitting the pieces together completes a single armband. Veradrix suspects that Silverwood has been raiding the Monster Clan alongside Patren. When you show the armband to Sirius, Sirius explains that it symbolizes the Knight of Immorality.

It is the symbol of the knight of the Six Dark Stars who usurps the King's power. Judging from Silverwood's actions, Sirius says that Patren seems to have been born with the fate of a king. You must rescue Patren from Silverwood at once. Otherwise, Patren may awaken as the Lord of Destruction through the power of darkness. When you tell the Knights of Light this, every one of your companions blames themselves. Yuan suggests that you split up and search for Patren. Silverwood will keep taking Patren around until he finds ASC anyway, so Yuan suggests looking for a Monster Clan that has not yet been attacked.

Following Yuan's suggestion, you search the Plant Clan Rare in Green Despair. You actually find Patren there with Silverwood. When you bring back the unconscious Patren, Arionell volunteers to nurse him while sobbing.

Patren felt guilty about everything that had happened. He says that Silverwood killed members of the Sword of Guardians indiscriminately, and that Patren also had to fight monsters in the midst of it all. Patren did not want to hurt anyone, but he was unable to control his strength. When you return to Aldebaran, he teaches you about the Sword of Guardians organization. The Sword of Guardians is a group that protects the King's Star, including the Six Stars of Light. Aldebaran says that now that the king has been recovered, their only task remaining is to uncover and punish the forces of darkness.

Meanwhile, Nine regains his strength. Nine says that he happened to discover who was behind the incident that threw Nevareth into turmoil at the Sage Tower. It was the secret organization Prometheus. They are said to live in hiding everywhere, including the Sage Tower, Polis, and Colony. They were also behind the strange phenomena that had occurred so far. Even Patren was a clone created from the genes of the Lord of Destruction from a thousand years ago, in accordance with their plan to resurrect the Lord of Destruction.

When Nine escaped from the Sage Tower, he stole a map marked with Prometheus's Base. That was why Prometheus pursued Nine. Unfortunately, Nine lost the map while evading pursuit. You must collect both the hidden map and the concealed map to find Prometheus's Base.

You obtain the hidden map from Ghost+ and find the concealed map in Port Lux, but the map is too badly damaged to make out. Nine says that the map must be restored by Heil. Grumbling, Heil agrees to take on the map restoration. Meanwhile, an urgent message arrives through Port Service. Freed summoned you, saying that it was urgent.

Freed captured a member of the Dark Clan while investigating Heresists who had infiltrated Port Lux with Rin and Yuan. However, the prisoner refuses to reveal anything. Freed and Yuan recommend that you interrogate the prisoner with an electric shock device. After the interrogation, the prisoner begins to divulge information. He says that it is true that he led the revival of the Heresist movement and joined forces with Prometheus, but he did not follow Prometheus from the beginning. The ASC Pieces held by the Monster Clan masters are drawn to one another's power. He says that they each sensed the power of the seventh piece and began acting to obtain it. However, Prometheus was searching not only for ASC but also for an item capable of controlling its power. Wondering what it could be, the group ends the interrogation.

The map entrusted to Heil for restoration arrives. However, it is difficult to understand because it is filled entirely with symbols. Heil disappears again as soon as he finishes restoring it. With no other choice, you take the map to Sirius. Sirius says that he has also been examining ancient texts and records. In the process, he discovered that Saint Valentine had mentioned the ASC Controller while sealing the Lord of Destruction. Sirius suspects that Prometheus knew of the ASC Controller's existence and proceeded with its plan, and says that he will find Heil and ask him to interpret the symbols on the map.
