AXEM, TRITHAL, and Danika were walking around Itsuka minding their own business when suddenly behind them someone shouted "TRITHAL!!" The trio turned around to find someone they thought they saw the last of back in Episode 41.
TRITHAL: "Visaggo of the Shadows! I'm surprised to see you. Last time I saw you, you were on a one-way trip to Nelia courtesy of the Grand Macha. What are you doing way the hell out here?"
Visaggo: "After you turned me over to 壮大マハ and I was taken to Nelia, I was quite extensively examined and interrogated. Afterward, they decided that I 'no longer pose any real threat to the world', so they let me go."
Not really satisfied with that response, TRITHAL asks, "Soooo, why are you here?"
Visaggo: "I'm here to take my revenge on you! You, Trithal the Divine Wind, have taken everything that ever mattered away from me. You killed my master Liiche... you destroyed the Redusa... you defeated Galaria and the Periande... and you even took my macha powers from me! Now I have nothing but my Darkness powers and my thirst for vengeance"
TRITHAL: "Don't forget that you also took something very important away from me four years ago! By my count we're even now."
Visaggo: "I disagree. Aside from everything else, you also took my honor. Now I intend to fight you to get it back!"
TRITHAL turns to Danika and AXEM and asks, "Whadaya think? Should we fight this muthafucka?"
AXEM: "Sure. Why not? I could use some extra EXP. Besides, I was getting bored anyway."
Danika: "This is something that doesn't really involve me, so count me out."
TRITHAL: "Well, I'd like to reach end-game before the close of this volume." (to Visaggo) "Okay, little man. Let's fight."
BATTLE MODE ON
TRITHAL (LV 20; 94/94 HP; 88/88 SP; 2909/3000 EXP)
AXEM (LV 15; 80/80 HP; 79/79 SP; 1904/3000 EXP)
Danika backs away as TRITHAL and AXEM take their fighting postures. Just like back in Episode 82, the area surrounding the fighters becomes devoid of other people. Visaggo takes the first shot and unleashes DARK THUNDER, where bolts of dark lightening rain down on TRITHAL and AXEM, causing both to lose only 1 HP.
TRITHAL: "I hope that ain't all you got, Visaggo. Otherwise this is gonna be a short fight."
TRITHAL withdraws his Wind Sword II and slices at Visaggo, causing the loss of 12/77 HP.
AXEM, also doing a basic attack, launches some throwing knives at Visaggo, causing the loss of 15/65 HP.
Visaggo withdraws a short sword and uses some of his SP to fill it with darkness energy, then attempts to slice at TRITHAL. TRITHAL blocks the move and loses no HP.
In response, TRITHAL unleashes a small percentage of his power into his sword, just enough to make the blue carvings glow, and tries another slashing attack. This time Visaggo lost 19/50 HP.
AXEM tries another basic move and roundhouse-kicks Visaggo, resulting in the loss of 10/31 HP.
TRITHAL: "This is stupid and pointless, Visaggo. Why don't you do something more constructive with yourself or something?"
Visaggo: "Don't try any of that Shirotama bullshit on me, Trithal. I came here resolved to seek vengeance, and I'm not gonna give up until I either defeat you or die trying."
Visaggo charges his sword with Darkness power again, then rushes at TRITHAL with all the speed he could muster. TRITHAL dodges most of it, but ends up getting nicked and losing 4/94 HP.
In response, TRITHAL withdraws his sword and charges it with a little more of his Wind power, then slashes at Visaggo. Visaggo loses 20/21 HP.
Visaggo: "Go ahead, Trithal. Kill me. I have no problem dying here today."
TRITHAL sheathes his sword and says, "No, I won't kill you. It isn't worth it for me to soil my hands with your blood."
Visaggo: "Then allow me..."
Visaggo thrusts his sword into his gut, causing him to lose his last 1 HP. Visaggo falls dead on the sidewalk.
BATTLE MODE OFF
TRITHAL GAINS 104 EXP
TRITHAL HAS REACHED END-GAME
AXEM GAINS 159 EXP
AXEM GAINS A LEVEL
LV 15>16; HP 80>83; SP 79>82
TRITHAL (LV 20; 90/94 HP; 88/88 SP; 3013 EXP)
AXEM (LV 16; 83/83 HP; 82/82 SP; 2063/3000 EXP)
Not even a minute later, local police were on the scene and calling an ambulance for the fallen Visaggo. They do nothing to TRITHAL or AXEM since they witnessed Visaggo stab himself.
As the evening progressed, the trio had dinner, and checked into a motel for the night. The next day TRITHAL and Danika shared their goodbyes with AXEM as he left Itsuka and started hiking down the Over-Land route around Mount Sabretooth. Later that morning TRITHAL and Danika boarded a train to Morgura Prefecture, heading towards whatever awaits them in the village of Laurenstown.
