Hmm, they just won't die!! I'll hit them with a cloud of death again.

You destroy them, but the forces of light prevent them from dying, and the Great Patriarch of Light resurrects and destroys your shield. Then he starts resurrecting all the monks and priests. While he's doing that, no one is guarding the obelisk ;)

He shed a tear.
I took the tear and left the cave.

You run towards the city, but suddenly a rogue appears behind you: "Artifact or life?" he asks.

- Good idea, we'll save on searching. I heard that the country is almost torn apart by intrigues and conflicts. Europeans are always striving for something, and then they regret their actions. You're from Shin-I, aren't you? Your fighting style gives you away." - It wasn't just her fighting style. The people of Shin-I have a slightly different skin color and eye shape than the people of the empire.

Yes, but Shin-I is no longer my homeland. These two-faced people, schemers, haters of knowledge, stone idols, they ruined my life, and I will take revenge on them. And I am actually a dark elf, and I am ready to destroy all these scoundrels, barbarians, nothing. I will still take revenge on them. And how do you know about Shin-I? Although you're probably from there, but you're a good person, unlike the others. They all turned to darkness, and now they are paying for it, and so is their island.
