■ Setting: The Covenants and the Great
Aion has predicted that the world of humanity is nearing an end. Five sources of spiritual energy, known as Covenants, are the key to all of this. As their name suggests, they represent a “contract”.
The covenants have a deep history and are said to be the rainbow that bridges the gap between a contract between people and God. When all five covenants are gathered, it is believed that the Great will come down over the world.
– Milady: “YOU …! A secret organization known as the Phantom Society is pulling the strings behind the scenes and wants to call the Great.”
They are led by someone known as Iron Mask.
– Iron mask: “Do you understand that now? You can not stop me. You can not change fate. “
Together with their comrades within their COMPs, Aion’s agents and Devil Summoner confront Iron Mask to stop the incoming apocalypse. That iron mask is a tough opponent … And he also has a lot of people working under him. I need your help. Yes, you, the Devil’s Caller in front of the screen.
■ Milady
What did you like about Milady’s video released yesterday? I will present her in a little more detail today.
Milady the Devil Summoner … She’s a member of the Phantom Society. Milady was the second person I revived to join me. You could say she is a conscious realist. She tends to keep her true thoughts close to her chest … Apparently it has something to do with her past.
Past experiences, memories … The fact that human personalities are an accumulation of such data is part of what makes them so fascinating … But it’s intriguing how their own past can sometimes be, too. that binds them.
Anyway, sometimes she’s still getting into fights with Arrow and his fair ways, but she’s getting along pretty well with everyone now.
Speaking of those who have a story with Milady … Let’s talk about Iron Mask first. He’s a Devil’s Caller from the Phantom Society. He is the leader of the mysterious project “C”, and the one who ordered his subordinate to kill Milady. Supposedly he is romantically involved with her … But why should anyone kill their own lover? So many unanswered questions …
Then there’s this other guy from the Phantom Society: RS (pronounced by Eiji Takeuchi). He’s the Devil’s Caller who killed Milady on Iron Mask’s orders. He may seem ridiculous, but he is actually very strong. He communicates through freestyle rapping. It would be an understatement to say he’s a little out there.
Anyway, I revived Milady and got her to join me … I have to say she’s a great fighter. She fights with sai-type COMPs, has an affinity for firearms, and her attacks give a severe blow. She is also very intelligent. Maybe she will even learn to restore the MP while defeating enemies.
It’s all from me. I hope you all find out Milady’s charm yourself. I think you will find her more and more interesting as you get to know her. As a leader, I just want everyone to come together, you know?
■ Exploration Guide
Last time you learned about the basics of combat. Today we are going over exploration of dungeons. These are important things, so pay attention, okay?
Red enemy symbols can be found in dungeons. They will chase you when they notice your presence, and if you get caught, you will be thrown into battle with the enemy who gets attack priority. Try to cut the enemy symbols with Ringo’s sword. Initiating combat by trapping enemies will put you in an advantageous state.
You can also go around disused enemy symbols to avoid battles altogether. A bonus attack can be triggered when you go into battle with an enemy that was knocked down with slashing. Your allies will attack all enemies when the battle starts, tipping the battle in your favor immediately.
When Ringo enters a dungeon, she sends her demons out on Demon Recon. You can reunite with the demons sent on recon while exploring the dungeon. You can reunite with the demons sent on recon while exploring the dungeon.
– Hell Biker: “Frickin ‘Arrow … Managed to beat me in a strength test. He’s a tough one.”
They can find items …
– Obtained medicine.
Or help you in other ways, such as healing.
-Kurama Tengu: “Are you busy, madam? When you hurry like that, it’s easier to slip away. Why don’t you rest?”
Try to find and talk to your demonic allies in dungeons.
-Scathach: “I admire how good you are. Here’s a reward for you.”
-Scatach: “Consider this an investment in our future.”
While on Demon Recon, Allied demons can introduce you to other demons that appear in the dungeon.
– Mothman: “Thanks to my clever conversational skills, demons of all shapes and sizes become putty in my hands.”
—Orthus: “WANT TO BE MY MASTER? NOW, I AM HUNGRY. WHAT about some meat? ”
—Orthus: “IF THERE IS NO MEAT, GIVE ME SOME OF YOUR TEAM’S STAMINA!”
You can negotiate with demons to enter into a contract and recruit them.
-Yes.
—Orthus: “I AM ORTHUS! NICE TO MEET YOU!”
Demons can be put in COMPs to give access to their skills.
– Milady: “I’m burning them to ashes!” -> Agidyne
The COMP user’s statistics are also affected, so be sure to adjust them based on the situation. Watch out for enemy symbols and strike before they do!
—Zhu Tun She: “If that’s how you feel, then there is no other choice! I join you, miss!”
Work with allied demons and defeat dangerous dungeons! You must make full use of not only your own abilities but also the powers of your demons … Your skills as a Devil’s Caller will really be put to the test.
