Part 49: Update XLVI - Featuring: Emel thinking the ISDF are idiots
Update XLVI - Featuring: Emel thinking the ISDF are idiotsMusic: Ladyin - Spiral Ruins

The next floor has our first Dragonsbane Wall of the dungeon.




Even the walls have turned blue.
...Shit, if they stuck with Bloom I could have called it a Blue-m Wall.

There's a flying dragon just behind that pillar.

Having to waste a turn before a dragon shows up is so nice.







Wounded Huntsman: I was attacked by a monster, and now I can't move my arm...

This is the only actual person in the Ruins. Every other marker led to a cat.


Holy shit a new dragon!

With a telegraphed move to boot!

A... telegraphed defense buff???
I mean, sure, it cuts physical damage by 80%.

But get out with that weak shit.

Beyond that, it has a roll that inflicts Bleed and a rock cannon that inflicts Skill Seal.






For comparison, the second last floor in the original Ladyin was 72m deep before going to the base floor, meaning we've somehow gone higher than Ladyin's actual entrance back in 12000 BC.
Either there was a lot of Ladyin we didn't get a chance to see last time, or the damn thing has grown between then and now.



For whatever reason, the dragon guarding this wall is on the near side.



Oh, because it leads directly to the exit.

A cutscene starts up by the save and exit points.

Okay, when the fuck did Haze have time to go eat the soulcannon from 7D1?
Also, Emel shot Nyala with it, not Haze, but that's more from a poor translation. The original JP line has Haze use 'us' as in the dragons as a whole.
Still no fucking clue how 7D1 plays out without Nyala running the invasion.



Big words from the woman who tried to sacrifice all mankind in the soulcannon after it didn't do enough damage.



You know, I don't think Aytel has a single line in this game that doesn't end like this...





Congratulations, Emel!

You hated dragons so hard it killed your sister.



Music: None

Now, 2020-II explains that Dragonslayers are a bit of a one-off type of deal, which is why we have to reseal Haze instead of just stabbing him with the Atlantis Dragonslayer.
The problem is that this is never mentioned in VFD itself, so it comes off as Opal wanting the biggest Dragonslayer collection in the land.

There are three dragons left on the floor, including a flyer directly under this bridge.




The final dragon is barely visible in the top right.

It was so far away, in fact, that it took several turns to break in.


Sorta funny how, despite Emel getting flagged as a True Dragon now, the map only lists one dragon left because we're obviously not fighting both right away.

Team 1 got to kill Nyala, so its only fair that Team 2 gets Haze.
I make sure to give everyone Death and Burn resists.

Oh dear.


I do like this little reversal from Haze here. He's gone from mocking Emel to actually being a bit respectful to a potential...
What would you call two True Dragons? Family? Colleagues? Besties?















Oh look!


A perfectly timed way to take Yuma out of the fight so Unit 13 has to deal with Haze on their own!





















Next time: Inoue goes sicko mode.
