Guardian of Tokyo

  • ......
  • You are... a Nahobino.
  • The true form of a god made manifest by the reunion of Knowledge and Life...
  • I had yet to lay my eyes upon one until this moment...
  • So, Nahobino...
  • Having overcome countless trials and hardships... What business do you have with me?
  • So you've come seeking my assistance...
  • ......
  • But Tokyo has been engulfed by the netherworld... My light cannot reach it.
  • However you may want for my aid, I am unable to leave the confines of this grave...
  • You are certainly upfront.
  • I suppose a Nahobino such as yourself might find use in an essence containing my power...
  • I would not be opposed to granting it to you...
  • Is that so? You broke the seal upon this place, yet you have no business here?
  • Regardless, I feel compelled to acknowledge your power of my own accord.
  • ......
  • Hmm... Your power may be enough to break the binds that hold me.
  • Nahobino...
  • Reclaim my power, scattered across Tokyo.
  • Once I have regained my might, and you have altered the rules of this world as a Nahobino, then I will be able to lend you my aid.
  • Will you take on this task?
  • Is that so...?
  • Very well...
  • First, bring me my blade, the Lord's Sword. The ancient gods of Japan should know of its whereabouts.
  • However, the sword's true power has been sealed. Once it has been unleashed, return it to me.
  • I shall be waiting for you...
  • Oh? It would appear you are in possession of my sword...
  • However, the seal has not been broken. As it stands, I am unable to lend you my aid.
  • Demonstrate your might to the Four Heavenly Kings, then the blade will regain its power.
  • I shall be waiting for you...
  • Oh? It would appear you are in possession of my sword...
  • And the blade has reawakened as well! I shall reward you for your efforts.
  • Mmm...
  • ......
  • I will now ask of you my final request...
  • Triumph over me, and use your powers of creation to rewrite my legacy!
  • But bear in mind that I am not one to hold back. Challenge me once you are prepared to lay your life on the line...
  • This netherworld is beyond the reach of my light... I must first reclaim my power.
  • Demonstrate your might to the Four Heavenly Kings, break the seal upon my blade, then return it to me.
  • I shall be waiting for you...
  • ......
  • So you carry the Kiou Sword...
  • Very well. If you so desire, I shall face you with my ultimate power!
  • Ah, a warrior of the Genji clan. A worthy opponent indeed...
  • I am Masakado, the guardian of the East...
  • So this is a Nahobino—one who can overturn the workings of the world...
  • Well fought!
  • It would appear a part of my spirit is already with you...
  • Then I shall remain here until that part of my spirit has left you...
  • Return once you have made room for more allies to accompany you. Then I shall offer a part of my spirit to join you on your quest...
  • I shall offer a part of my spirit to accompany you...
  • ......
  • It would appear you are now ready to accept my power into your ranks. Very well...
  • It would appear you are still not ready to accept my power into your ranks.
  • ...But perhaps you are here for something else?
  • Do you seek to challenge me once again?
  • That was a well-fought battle.
  • It seems you have brought my sword...
