Luminous Arc 2 02

Revisiting the Training Area...
Nothing to see here; then, we will go, to the Castle Plaza!
The Festival, finally is ready!
Hm, Rasche, we aren't that late, the fireworks just started!
Rina says it's just a test; then, we are little early.
Rina dislikes fire, yet likes fireworks.
Before the fireworks, will visit Steiner.
A cry for help!
A girl bumped into Roland; he fell on the ground; and now, they're both sad...
Yeah, that hurt; let's talk about it...
Falling down, on a stone made road, could leave bruises.
The girl is arguing, telling Roland, that as a Knight, he should have cached her, so she wouldn't fall.
Roland's excuse: there wasn't enough time to react, came out of nowhere!
A Golem, right; that's a tough one...
Of course the Golem talks; although, Golems, are usually made of rock, or metal; and this one here, is a walking suit of armor!
Actually, the cat was doing the talking; some kind of puppet?
The cat, is a Familiar.
Shadow Frost Witch's servant; this cat, can be trouble.
A special delivery for the Queen; guess, we should protect this girl then, as we are, knights-in-training.
The Golem growls, yes, growling is the only sound he can make, besides the trembling that is!
Run, to the Laboratory; the closest place to hide.
Steiner was experimenting, with the Lapis Seeds; they're all over his lab.
By the way, the girl's name is Althea, she's a Witch-in-training at the Magic Academy.
The cat Josie, is carrying a rod, that resembles a skeleton of a fish...
Oh, that massive Golem; can we just destroy it?!
Steiner is here, we're saved!
The Golem, destroyed part of the lab, now it's personal...
A Big Lapis Seed; looks like a gemstone; a blue gem.
Synth-Lapis; so, synthesis; merging something.
It seems the Synth-Lapis, has reacted with Roland!
Roland is in pain, screams...
The Big Blue Lapis, is actually, a Steiner's invention, the Runic Engine; and it has merged with Roland, and now rests on his hand.
Runic Engine improves strength, or so Steiner said.
Time for Roland, to attack the Golem!
What has Steiner said, about Roland being stronger; seems, like nothing has changed.
Hm, Golems do not have any mana, and they can't cast any magic spells...
Steiner is the strongest in our group.
The cat, is a strong magic user though!
And the cat Josie, commands the Golems.
The Golems move too slowly, they won't pose a problem; the cat, on the other hand, can fly.
Rina can use poisonous arrows, with a Pit Shoot arts.
Let's try poisoning a Golem, that metal warrior.
The Golem wasn't poisoned, from a Pit Shoot art; it did receive damage though.
Althea can shoot fireballs; it will be hard to get along with Rina, if she will be using her magic too often.
And the Golems, don't have any magic resistance; no notable resistance at least; and that's making our Witch, a lot more useful, in the fight against Golems!
One Golem defeated, with teamwork!
What Steiner uses, as his weapon; Dual Swords, named Pearl Save, this weapon improves attack and magic considerably.
Althea finishes off another Golem; now, let's fight the magic familiar cat!
It seems that magic, doesn't work on the cat; the arrows do work however...
Rina got the chance, of defeating the last Golem.
With Rasche's Javelin Spike art, can get a hit at the familiar, from a long distance.
Rasche maybe slow, yet his spear, can reach far!
The cat's hungry, always is...
We obtained Rico, money; and items: Lapis that increases magic power, and a Fire Crystal.
Steiner is glad, that his experiment succeeded; well, what can say; results matter!
The Runic Engine stuck, to Roland's hand, the back of his hand to be precise.
It seems the Runic Engine chose Roland; they are compatible...
Miss Dia's message, it needs to be delivered; and it's finally possible, since the Golems are gone.
Roland will be taken to the Queen; to show off the Runic Engine, lucky for him...
Wendell, has his hands full, now that Rasche and Rina decided to go; and Wendell will be the one to escort everyone to the Castle!
Steiner, is Rina's brother, and they do look alike.
Entering Carnava Palace, to see the Queen, and fireworks...
The official Audience Room.
Ruckus, nah, just some Golems sneaked inside, nothing major.
Breuner, only worries about finances; it's his job, after all.
The Royal Budget...
The first time, Queen heard of Roland; she'll catch on...
Queen Sophia is impressed, with the Runic Engine, on which the Kingdom will rely on in the future.
A deep thank you to Steiner, from the Queen.
The Golem was summoned huh; so, that's how to bring something that big, undetected...
Gaston, will tighten the defenses around the City even further, to ensure, that no other familiar gets through!
Amputating Roland's arm; Wendell shouldn't have mentioned that, ridiculous; Roland is the only one, who can use the Runic Engine after all, it shouldn't be taken away from him!
The Queen conversing with a Witch; how about the message?
Miss Dia wants to locate the Tide Witch; its says so in the document; is she missing, or...
The Witch Luna is in hiding; is Luna, the name of the Tide Witch?
Shadow Frost, hm, darkness and ice.
The request will be fulfilled; Luna will be found.
A four thousand years peace; the Kingdom of Carnava was at Peace for so long...
It seems Roland's arm would be alright where it is, and with the Runic Engine too.
Roland will go to the Magic Academy, and there, activate the power of the Runic Engine, to become a Rune Knight!
Rune Knight, maybe Roland will finally start using magic spells!
Roland will play a higher role, from this point on; The Queen, and the Kingdom, relies on Roland now, to become a Rune Knight, and bring Peace, by ending the Witches conflict!
And Steiner wanted to become the Magic Knight; he is so displeased at what happened...
Roland will have to meet Miss Dia, and awaken the potential.
Steiner left the room; he can't research the Runic Engine anymore; Roland is going on an adventure, and Steiner will be staying at the lab.
The Queen hands over the new letter to Althea; it will be a letter to Miss Dia!
Miss Dia is also known as the Brilliant Witch.
Can visit the Guild now, let's go there first!
Thieves can make the journey to Magic Academy, Difficult; there could be fighting on the way.
Can find Jobs at the Guild; citizens put requests there.
Will give a Fire Crystal to Althea, to boost her fire magic.
Althea will also receive the Lapis, that increases overall magic; she's a Witch after all, so runes and spells, are her specialty.
The Guild's only request is, the Lab work; not again...
Reward for Lab work, is MagiMint, okay, will head out!
Will need to defeat four reptiles in the Lab; no problem, they are weak anyway, far below our level.
Not to mention, these reptiles are also slow...
Will Rina poison anyone, it seems, the art doesn't quite work as described.
Roland defeated the first reptile, Reptoid as it's called.
Second reptoid defeated, by Rasche.
Our attacks always hit, on reptoids.
Althea defeated the third reptoid, by engulfing it in fire!
Rina mostly attacks from safety; of course, archers are great against slow moving targets!
Rasche defeated the last reptoid, and victory!
Researchers are busy, trying to restore the data that was ruined during the Golem's attack!
Yeah, contaminated data is worthless...
The MagiMint restores Mana, makes magic spells usable again.
Will give the MagiMint item to Althea, in case she gets tired...
Will Raise Rasche's attack, and Roland's defense, with Lapis.
So many new places to visit, at the Carnava Palace.
