Story (Current)

Main Story

The Sacred Stone

Many decades after the fall of Heliseum, the Nova continued living in Pantheon, whose borders were safeguarded by the Protective Shield generated by the four sacred stones. Two children named Kyle and Velderoth became friends with a girl named Tear, who had been shunned by the Nova for having been born without magic or a tail. Together, they became the Heliseum Force and trained every day in order to become strong enough to take back their capital.

Velderoth and Kyle soon became knights, bringing them one step closer to realizing their dream. One day, both Kyle and Tear sensed that something was wrong at the East Sanctum while training. There, the three encountered strange priests whom they had never seen before standing over the unconscious guardian of the East Sanctum. Velderoth decided get reinforcements and told Kyle and Tear to keep an eye on the priests, though he warned them not to play hero.

While overhearing the priests, Tear quickly realized that they were planning to steal the sacred stone of the East Sanctum and weaken the Protective Shield. Before the priests could take the stone, Tear charged ahead and grabbed it first. Upon touching it, the stone transformed into a glowing bracelet on her wrist, after which Tear immediately fell unconscious.

As the priests advanced on Tear, Kyle suddenly felt a fiery power within himself and awakened as Kaiser. Kyle launched a devastating attack upon the priests in his Kaiser form before falling unconscious himself. As the remaining priests retreated, Velderoth returned with reinforcements, all of whom witnessed Kyle's awakening and took the two children back to Pantheon.

Tear woke up in the infirmary first and spoke with Cartalion the knight, Kylan the priest, and Fenelle the High Priestess. Tear learned that Kyle had awakened as the next Kaiser, as well as the fact that the sacred stone of the East Sanctum had attached itself onto her arm. Upon learning that it was stuck to her, Tear realized that the Protective Shield had been permanently weakened because of her actions.

Though the others attempted to reassure her that it wasn't her fault, as the Nefarious Priests would have stolen the stone anyways if she hadn't intervened, Tear was upset by the news and began crying before running off. Fenelle went after Tear and attempted to console her by pointing out that the fact that the sacred stone had reacted to her, when not even the priests had been able to awaken it, meant that she had to be special. Nevertheless, Tear noted that it still didn't change the fact that she had weakened the Protective Shield, adding that she was useless as ever before running off to the Heliseum Force hideout.

Soon after, Kaiser arrived at the hideout and asked her how she was doing. Though Tear appeared happy, Kaiser could clearly tell that she had been crying. He learned that she was feeling guilty about having weakened the Protective Shield, though she told him not to worry about it, as she didn't want to ruin anything else.

Becoming Angelic Buster

Though Tear felt reassured by Kaiser's concern, she noted to herself that she couldn't keep relying on him to fix her messes, for which she decided to return to the East Sanctum in order to see whether returning the sacred stone to its original location would release it from her arm. While searching the sanctum, Tear began to hear a voice speaking to her from within the bracelet. After following the voice's directions and concentrating, Tear was able to see the spirit of a small dragon, who noted that her proximity to the sanctum meant that she could finally see him.

The dragon introduced himself as Eskalade to a surprised Tear, who asked him whether he was the god within the sacred stone. Eskalade replied that she could consider him to be something like that before asking whether she knew how the sacred stones had been created. Tear noted that according to her history classes, when Magnus had attacked Heliseum, the Nova had been unable to transport their holy relic, and so they had instead transferred its power into the four sacred stones, which had been taken out of Heliseum in its place.

Eskalade explained that when the relic's power had been transferred into the stones, his spirit had been transferred into one of the stones as well. When Tear asked him whether that meant he really was a god, Eskalade explained that he was more like a spirit than anything else, as he had been trapped inside the stone for so long that he had forgotten many of his memories and had lost much of his power.

Eskalade then told Tear that he was fortunate to have met someone who could actually talk to him, adding that the reason why the sacred stone had attached itself to her was because of his will. When Tear lamented that it was because of her that the sacred stone had been lost to the Nova, Eskalade reassured her that it wasn't her fault. Upon seeing that Tear still felt guilty, he offered her the chance to make up for it by becoming just as helpful as the missing sacred stone.

He explained that while trapped in the stone, the only thing that he could do with his powers was to use them for the Protective Shield, though he would now be able to pass them onto her so that she could help the Nova retake Heliseum. However, he added that there was one condition to inheriting his powers, which was that only one with great standing and reputation could claim them. He told Tear that before he had become a spirit, he had wanted to become famed and known throughout the land by many people, which he speculated was the reason why one needed to have such a reputation in order to channel his powers.

However, Tear replied that she couldn't be a warrior of great power, as she had been born with no magic. This surprised Eskalade, who had been sure that Tear's ability to communicate with him meant that she had been a warrior with great magical abilities. A crestfallen Tear realized that without the ability to inherit Eskalade's powers, she would need to once again rely on Kyle and Velderoth to help her remove the bracelet. Though Eskalade was concerned about how Tear was feeling, Tear left the East Sanctum, causing Eskalade's spirit to vanish before he could protest.

Soon after, Tear returned to the hideout and found that Kyle had brought her flowers in order to cheer her up. Kaiser presented a flower to Tear and apologized to her for earlier, explaining that he hadn't meant to make her feel as though he had been taking responsibility for her mistakes. He added that since it had also been his idea to go to the East Sanctum, he felt as though it really had been his fault for what had happened to the sacred stone. Tear told Kaiser that it hadn't been his fault, to which he smiled and told her that in that case, it wasn't her fault, either. He then gave the flower to Tear and explained that he had been happy to find the flower, as he knew that she liked pretty things.

Just then, Velderoth angrily cut in and demanded to know whether Tear was truly comforted by Kyle's words, pointing out that their situations were completely different, with Kyle awakening as the great guardian Kaiser, and Tear being cursed by the sacred stone. He noted that despite them both having made the same mistake, Kaiser had been rewarded, while she had been stuck with a big problem, adding that even everyone else had lost the sacred stone because of her.

Kaiser sharply scolded Velderoth, though Velderoth merely ignored him and told Tear not to be deceived by Kaiser's empty words. Tear replied that though she felt guilty about causing the sacred stone to disappear, Kaiser hadn't been deceiving her, as he was simply being a good friend. She then decided to head out, explaining that enough had already happened for one day.

Soon after, Eskalade's spirit appeared before Tear and noticed that she was crying. Though he attempted to reassure her that it wasn't her fault that she couldn't inherit his powers, Tear told him that she was planning to find a way to return the bracelet back into its original state so that he could find someone else to become his hero. However, Eskalade replied that such a thing wasn't possible, as she had been chosen because she was special.

He then pointed out that she simply needed to become stronger in order to take responsibility for what she had done, to which Tear replied that she had no wish to become a Nova hero or obtain great power like Kaiser, as she simply wanted the strength to do her part. She explained that she didn't want to rely on Kaiser or Velderoth anymore, and she wanted to become a helpful member of the Nova for Fenelle, who loved her like a granddaughter.

Suddenly, Eskalade had an idea and noted that being a warrior wasn't the only way of becoming famous. Using his powers, he transformed Tear into a pretty pink superhero called Angelic Buster. He explained that becoming an idol would give her fame just as much as becoming a warrior would, and that she could use her singing voice to attract a following. When Angelic Buster asked him how he knew about idols, Eskalade explained that he had found out about them while his spirit had been wandering outside the sacred stone.

Though Angelic Buster was reluctant to dress up in such an outfit, she nevertheless agreed in order to become strong enough to protect the Nova. Dubbing her the idol of the battlefield, Eskalade had Angelic Buster go into town and begin singing to attract a crowd. As she began singing, Angelic Buster slowly started to grow more confident as she put herself out to the crowd, causing several passing Nova to start cheering for her. After the crowd dispersed, Eskalade proudly noted that she had managed to gain ten followers with her spontaneous performance, which allowed him to pass on a portion of his power onto her.

Helping the Nova

Having grown empowered by her experience, Angelic Buster resolved to grow her fame and increase her powers. She then decided to find Kaiser and Velderoth in order to tell them about her new powers. However, Eskalade stopped her and asked whether she was really planning to tell them. Angelic Buster replied that it would be fine to tell just two people, to which Eskalade told her that though he wouldn't stop her, he noted that if she were to become famous and fight on the battlefield, she might worry her friends.

Angelic Buster realized that he was right, as the reason why she had wanted to become stronger was so that she wouldn't be a burden on her friends, for which she resolved to keep her identity secret. Eskalade instead suggested that she tell Fenelle instead, recalling that the two were quite close. In the Great Temple, Angelic Buster met with Fenelle, who immediately realized that she was Tear because of her energy.

After Angelic Buster explained everything had happened, Fenelle noted that she was indeed special after all. However, Fenelle asked that Angelic Buster keep her identity secret, fearing that others may target the remaining sacred stones if word got out that they were capable of passing on power. She then asked Angelic Buster what she wanted to do with her powers, to which Angelic Buster replied that she wanted to help the people of Pantheon.

Fenelle told Angelic Buster to wait while she found something that she could help with. Just then, Eskalade spoke to her and pointed out that simply helping the townspeople wouldn't increase her powers, as the Nova of Pantheon were too small of a population, meaning that she would need to eventually go abroad.

Just then, Fenelle returned and told Angelic Buster that she had nothing that she needed help with. Instead, she gave Angelic Buster a letter of introduction and asked her to speak with Cartalion. Though Cartalion trusted Fenelle's word, he was hesitant about sending Angelic Buster outside the town, as it would be quite dangerous. Nevertheless, at her insistence, he reluctantly asked her to collect Sleepy Grobbler Stalks for Selene.

Angelic Buster brought the ingredients to Selene, who thanked her and explained that there was a food shortage in Pantheon, as someone was stealing from the food storage. At Selene's request, Angelic Buster returned back to Cartalion and informed him about Selene's suspicions. Cartalion noted that they didn't have the forces to guard the food storage, which made Selene's report more concerning.

In order to help Cartalion, Angelic Buster offered to keep watch at the food storage, where she discovered several priests. Eskalade immediately noted that their energy seemed to be similar to those who had attempted to steal the sacred stone. Believing that Angelic Buster posed no threat, the Nefarious Priests attempted to eliminate her, though she quickly defeated them before returning to Cartalion and informing him about the Nefarious Priests.

Though Cartalion chided her for recklessly putting herself into danger, he asked her whether she was unharmed before explaining that he couldn't leave the priests to her now that he knew that they weren't simply petty thieves. Believing that Cartalion didn't trust her yet, Angelic Buster decided to take care of the remaining priests on her own. Though Eskalade protested and told her that Cartalion could handle it, he nevertheless gave into Angelic Buster's insistence and used his powers to track down the Nefarious Priests' energy signature, which led her to their hideout.

There, Angelic Buster overheard the Nefarious Priests and learned that they were stealing from the food storage so that the Nova knights would redirect their forces to reinforce security there, which would allow the priests to steal the less-guarded sacred stones. Realizing that an attack on one of the sanctums was imminent, Angelic Buster rushed back to warn Cartalion.

Theft of the Sacred Stone

Realizing that the sacred stones were in danger, Cartalion asked her to warn Anor in the North Sanctum about a possible attack. At the North Sanctum, Angelic Buster warned Anor, who excitedly told her that he was a fan of hers. Reassuring her that the sacred stone was safe with him, Anor asked her to reinforce Christina, whom he claimed was weaker than him.

Realizing that Kaiser was at the South Sanctum, Angelic Buster began rushing off to help him, though she gave Anor her autograph before she left. Angelic Buster arrived at the South Sanctum and learned from Christina that Kaiser had fought a wave of enemies, and that he had gone to warn Cartalion.

Angelic Buster realized that if Kaiser had already returned back to Pantheon, the West Sanctum might be in danger. At the West Sanctum, Angelic Buster arrived to find that the Nefarious Priests had defeated the guardian of the West Sanctum and taken the sacred stone. Upon learning that Magnus would soon come to take the stone, Angelic Buster attempted to stop the priests, though she was quickly defeated. She was then rescued by Kaiser and Cartalion, who brought her back to Pantheon.

Soon after, Angelic Buster awoke and immediately rushed to Cartalion in order to warn him that Magnus was planning to invade. Realizing that the Protective Shield couldn't hold with just two of the four sacred stones, Angelic Buster offered to find the stolen stone, though Cartalion informed her that they had no idea where it could be, as it wasn't in the enemy base which she had discovered. Though Angelic Buster lamented that she had been too weak to protect the stone, Eskalade reminded her that she needed to focus and told her to use her connection to the sacred stones in order to locate the missing stone by traveling to the West Sanctum.

Angelic Buster told Eskalade that she didn't have that kind of power, to which Eskalade told her that she did, as it had been through that same connection that she could speak with him. By concentrating, Angelic Buster was able to sense that several priests had taken the sacred stone away from the base, as they had been suspicious that Angelic Buster would lead the Nova there.

After overhearing them, she learned that the priests were mistakenly suspecting an information leak from their own ranks, as they believed that there was no other way that the Nova could have learned about their plans so soon. While one of the priests left to check on progress in the south, Angelic Buster took her chance and defeated the other priest, reclaiming the western sacred stone in the process.

Assault on Pantheon

Angelic Buster returned with the sacred stone and gave it back to Cartalion, who was relieved and told Angelic Buster that she had saved them all. He explained that Kaiser had noted that only a small attack force had been sent to Pantheon, which meant that the Protective Shield would hold until it could be recharged.

However, Eskalade was dubious and suspected that the small number of enemies was a feign to draw their attention away from Magnus' true plan. Recalling how one of the priests had left to check on the southern border, Eskalade asked Angelic Buster to check the area. Angelic Buster arrived at the southern border and discovered that the Nefarious Priests were preparing a summoning ritual. Angelic Buster immediately returned back to Pantheon and let Cartalion know what was happening. Cartalion sent Kaiser to stop the summoning ritual and asked Angelic Buster to remain on standby in case he needed to send her to reinforce Kaiser.

Turning the Tides

After the battle was over, Kaiser realized that the Protective Shield was a powerful weapon against the Specters and formulated a plan to lure the entire Specter army inside the borders, where they would then reactivate the Protective Shield and wipe out all of Magnus' forces at once. He proposed his plan to Fenelle, who supported his idea, despite knowing the risks that it posed. Nevertheless, Cartalion remained hesitant, as he didn't trust the priests to handle the sacred stone, though he was placated when Angelic Buster volunteered to help.

Cartalion then gave a document outlining Kaiser's plan to her in order to pass on to Beldar, the leader of the Heliseum Council. Though Beldar was mistrustful of Angelic Buster and believed Kaiser's plan to be foolhardy, he nevertheless gave his reluctant approval. With everyone in position, Angelic Buster removed the western sacred stone and weakened the Protective Shield, allowing the Specters to invade. With Kaiser and Velderoth holding the line, the Specters were lured into the border of Pantheon, after which Velderoth fired a flare, signaling to Angelic Buster to put back the sacred stone. With the Protective Shield restored, the Specter army was wiped out entirely.

However, Angelic Buster grew worried when Kaiser and Velderoth still didn't return to the sanctum and decided to see what was delaying them. There, she discovered that Magnus himself had appeared at the border, though she noted that Magnus would be weakened with the Protective Shield enabled. Magnus laughed disdainfully and noted that Kaiser was quite weak compared to his predecessor, adding that even the Nova themselves had grown weak over the years.

Though the three of them attempted to attack Magnus in his weakened state, they were shocked to discover that Magnus was much stronger than them. After Angelic Buster was defeated and separated from the others, Cartalion arrived and immediately summoned reinforcements to capture Magnus. However, Magnus told Cartalion that he wasn't in the mood for another fight and quickly retreated.

Velderoth's Betrayal

Soon after, Angelic Buster awoke and rushed back to Pantheon, where she warned Cartalion that Magnus had arrived. Cartalion told her that they had managed to repel Magnus, and that the others were safe as well. He thanked Angelic Buster for her role in the operation, noting that the Nova were all grateful to her for her help in protecting them.

Angelic Buster then spoke with Eskalade and noted that Kaiser had managed to withstand Magnus' attack, unlike herself, to which Eskalade pointed out that he was Kaiser, adding that she still had a lot more growing to do. He then laughed and admitted that she had already grown quite a bit. Angelic Buster then noted that she was worried about Velderoth and decided to meet with him at the Heliseum Hideout.

At the hideout, Angelic Buster shed her disguise and met with Velderoth as Tear. Though she attempted to console him, Velderoth's hurt pride caused him to lash out at her, claiming that he had no desire to be comforted by someone without magic who had never even been in a battle before. He noted that even the new idol of the battlefield had fought in the battle, while Tear had been nowhere in sight. He then glumly noted that both he and Angelic Buster were nothing more than sidekicks compared to Kaiser.

Though Tear was dismayed to hear Velderoth's angry words, she kept silent about her identity, hoping that she might be able to reveal the truth after he had calmed down. Just then, Kaiser arrived and found Tear attempting to comfort Velderoth. Upon seeing Kaiser, Velderoth began mocking him for losing to Magnus, claiming that Kyle wasn't a hero like the Nova believed.

He also added that Kyle had only beaten him in their hunting match because of his new powers, and that Kyle had always been weaker than him before awakening. He bitterly wondered why Kyle had been chosen as the next Kaiser, believing that it should have been himself instead because of his superior strength, adding that Kyle had been handed out free power that he didn't deserve.

As Kaiser began to retort, Tear told him to leave Velderoth alone. Believing that Kaiser was dismayed because of his failure, Tear attempted to console him as well, though she was surprised to find him in good spirits. Kaiser explained that though he had lost, he was considering it to be a stepping stone in order to become stronger and defeat Magnus eventually in the future. He then noticed a wound on Tear from Magnus, to which she attempted to explain it away by her tripping.

As the two began to joke around together, Velderoth became even more furious at their casual attitude and decided that he was leaving the Heliseum Protector Vanguard, claiming that it had been a worthless group in the end. Believing that he had no future in Pantheon, he stormed off and left the city in search of power, declaring that he would become stronger than Kaiser someday.

After Tear and Kaiser left to process what had happened, Tear spoke with Eskalade, who asked her whether she regretted accepting his power. However, Tear told him that she regretted nothing, as she had been happy to see everyone's smiling faces after protecting them. However, she added that she wasn't yet satisfied, as she wanted to become even stronger in order to protect more people after spending all her life being the one protected. Eskalade then bestowed more of his power upon Angelic Buster, whose reputation had grown considerably since the attack on Pantheon.

A New World

Soon after, Angelic Buster was called to Pantheon by Beldar, who admitted that her role in the crisis had earned his respect for her. After thanking her for her help, he explained that he was hoping to recruit her to travel through the Interdimensional Portal. He revealed that the portal had been created when Gerand Darmoor had stolen Chronica's powers, which had warped spacetime.

He explained that the Nova had been unsure of where it led, and so they had sealed it as a precaution, though Magnus' latest attack had led the Council to agree to open the portal in order to find allies in the new world that it led to. Angelic Buster asked why the Council had agreed to open it, to which Beldar explained that the Council had approved a plan to retake Tyrant's Castle in Heliseum with Magnus' army in shambles. Angelic Buster agreed to help the Nova and used the Interdimensional Portal to cross to Maple World.

After crossing over into Maple World, Angelic Buster grew excited upon seeing her new surroundings. However, Eskalade reminded her that she was on a mission and noted that she still had a long way to go before finding allies, as she would need to grow strong enough to help them as payment for them helping the Nova.

He then explained that she had come to Maple World, much to her surprise. He revealed that he had wandered around Maple World while roaming outside the sacred stone, and that he had grown familiarized with it, as it was where he had first learned about idols in the first place. He then pointed that he had even told her before that she may one day need to travel to a brand new world in order to gain more fame, adding that she would be able to gain more power and a name for herself, which would help her make allies. After speaking with Pilot Irvin at the Six Path Crossway, Angelic Buster met with Athena Pierce in Henesys, where Athena gave her suggestions to help others.

Third Job Advancement

As Angelic Buster began growing more famous throughout Maple World, her reputation began increasing enough that Eskalade was able to transfer more of his power to her. However, he explained that he first needed to replenish his energy with Essence Stones. Though he had been able to find them on his own throughout Grandis, he noted that Maple World wasn't familiar enough that he could search for them, and so he asked Angelic Buster to find one amongst the Wooden Mask monsters in the Excavation Site. After Angelic Buster obtained one, Eskalade consumed it and restored his strength, allowing him to awaken more of Angelic Buster's powers.

Meeting Kaiser

During her exploration of Maple World, Angelic Buster encountered Kaiser at the Six Path Crossway. Kaiser was pleased to see her and noted that he had been hearing many stories about her in Maple World. Angelic Buster asked him how he was doing, to which he replied that he was doing the same as always. Angelic Buster noted that he seemed to gloss over himself as always, to which Kaiser laughed and noted that she seemed to know him well, as though they had known each other for a long time.

Angelic Buster laughed awkwardly before changing the subject and asking how his search for allies was going. She was surprised to learn that he had made contact with the Cygnus Knights, who were said to be the most powerful faction in Maple World. Kaiser revealed that the Knights had approached him first, and that they even had the same enemies as the Nova, with Magnus having once been a Commander of the Black Mage.

Angelic Buster noted that he had seemed to make allies quite easily, adding that she was slightly jealous of him, though Kaiser merely noted that he had simply gotten lucky. After a long pause, he apologized and explained that he had been thinking of a friend from Pantheon who would always call him special, even though he had never thought of himself in that way before.

In response, Angelic Buster pointed out that he was indeed special, as he always thought of others and sacrificed himself, which was something that many would never do. Kaiser smiled and thanked her, noting that she encouraged him just like Tear would. Upon hearing his words, Angelic Buster hesitantly began to tell him her identity, though she stopped herself and instead told him that it had been good to see him before the two parted ways.

Fourth Job Advancement

As Tear continued to master her powers, she noted to Eskalade that until recently, Magnus had been the strongest enemy that she knew. However, after exploring Maple World and learning more about the dangers that it faced, she told him that there may soon be a day when she might need to face an even stronger foe. Eskalade asked Angelic Buster why she was feeling so serious, to which she replied by explaining that she had thought that she would need to grow stronger in order to face stronger enemies. She then asked him how many more followers she needed to unlock more of his power, recalling that he had once mentioned that she would need 10,000.

When she noted that she might need to hold a concert in order to boost her reputation, Eskalade told her that she was already strong enough to gain a reputation through her skills as a warrior, adding that since they weren't in Grandis anymore, she could even boost her reputation as Tear. Upon seeing her confusion, he explained that the reason why he had given her a new identity as Angelic Buster to use his powers was because the people of Pantheon knew Tear to have no magical powers.

However, Angelic Buster revealed that she had already known that she could have used her powers as Tear in Maple World and explained that the reason why she had continued using her identity was because she didn't want Kaiser to worry about her, as well as the fact that she genuinely enjoyed singing as Angelic Buster and seeing people enjoy her music. Eskalade laughed and noted that she had a wonderful personality before granting her the last of his power, noting that the conditions for inheriting his power had been fully met with her being renowned as the idol of the battlefield wherever she went.

Alliance Quest[3]

Following the siege of Heliseum and the Nova officially joining the Maple Alliance, Neinheart contacted Angelic Buster after hearing about her reputation and explained that they were gathering strong warriors for the Alliance against the Black Mage, for which he invited her to Ereve. Angelic Buster was curious to know what kind of enemy the Black Mage was that required all of Maple World to unite against him. She then wondered whether the Nova would need to make a similar alliance in the future with the other races in order to fight both Magnus and Gerand Darmoor.

Believing that it would be a good idea to learn more about the Alliance, Angelic Buster traveled to Ereve and met with Empress Cygnus, who thanked her for coming and introduced herself. She asked Angelic Buster whether she knew about the Black Mage and explained that he was an evil Transcendent who had tried to destroy the world long ago until he had been sealed away by several brave Heroes.

However, Cygnus revealed that the Black Mage's seal had been broken, and with the Cygnus Knights unable to handle the threat themselves, she had hoped to form a worldwide Alliance against him. Upon hearing this, Angelic Buster agreed to lend her support and officially joined the Maple Alliance.

Temple of Time

While exploring the Temple of Time, Angelic Buster's memories were drained by Dodo. After being told by the Record Keeper to return to where his adventure began, Angelic Buster realized that her adventure had technically begun when she had met Eskalade, but her true beginning had been with the Heliseum Force. She recalled that Kyle and Velderoth were the only ones who had treated her like a friend, as everyone else had made fun of her for not having magic.

She noted that everything had used to be so worry-free back then, whereas the present was full of fighting and anger. She remembered how much fun that they used to have chasing Limestone Tokkas and running away from Kaloongs, making her wish that she could return back to that life. She then reminded herself that her home would always be the Heliseum Hideout, and that no matter what paths she, Velderoth, and Kyle took, the memories of their youth would always remain.

Final Quest

Eskalade congratulated Angelic Buster for reaching a new height in her power, to which she happily noted that she felt more confident than ever. Eskalade noted that thanks to her diligent training and his excellent guidance, she had mastered his powers. Angelic Buster agreed and told him that it was only because of him that she had come so far, for which she thanked him sincerely. She then noted that, having unlocked all his power, it was now up to her to keep growing stronger. Eskalade then explained that thanks to her unexpected growth, he had managed to create a new power to bestow upon her, which he presented to her as a final gift.

Fifth Job Advancement

Upon entering the Erda Flow and meeting with the Goddess of Maple World, the Goddess asks the player what it is that they cherish most in the world. Angelic Buster gets to choose between Kyle or everyone whom she helps as Angelic Buster. After she makes her choice and talks to the Goddess, Eskalade will interrupt and asks if he's one of the choices. Angelic Buster will reassure him that he's precious to her, although she'll think to herself that she completely forgot about him.

Upon entering the Erda Flow and meeting with the Goddess of Grandis, the Goddess explained that she had been watching Angelic Buster's progress intently and notes that Angelic Buster has done well to protect and grow her power.

Sixth Job Advancement

After the player frees the Goddess of Grandis, the Goddess will recognize Angelic Buster and greet her by name.

Information Broker Bureau

While reading through several documents about Grandis, Hoyoung read a document compiled by Angelic Buster, under the alias of Curious Girl AB, which detailed the history of the Flora, including the Flora Civil War and Darmoor's awakening as the Transcendent of Life. It also mentioned that around that time, the Anima had disappeared without a trace, with only the Nova in Pantheon fighting back against Darmoor's forces.

Meeting Adele

While investigating Adele after her recent appearance in Pantheon, the Nova discovered a helmet of a Knight of the Einherjar in their possession. Believing that it may help Adele in her search for her lost memories, Fenelle asked Angelic Buster to deliver it to her.

At the Heliseum Force Hideout, Adele met Angelic Buster, who warned Adele that, though she was unsure whether Adele used to work for Gerand Darmoor, she would need to choose a side after recovering her memories and recommended that she pick the Nova over Darmoor. She also told Adele that her people had been brutally massacred by Darmoor, and that anyone who served him was her enemy, adding that she hoped that Fenelle wasn't wrong about her.

Meeting Lara

As Lara made her way to Pantheon to use the Interdimensional Portal, she was greeted by Kyle and Tear at the outskirts, who had been sent by Fenelle. They then escorted her to the Great Temple, where Fenelle judged her worthiness to use the Interdimensional Portal.

Heliseum Reclamation HQ

Pushing Forward

Angelic Buster was summoned back to Pantheon by Beldar, who told her that the Nova had finally begun the operation to retake Heliseum. Though he admitted that Magnus was a formidable foe, he explained that they couldn't put it off any longer, as they needed to recover the Outrigger, a holy relic given to the Nova by their Ancient Gods. With reinforcements on the way, Beldar asked Angelic Buster to meet with Edea and Piston at the Heliseum Reclamation HQ.

Angelic Buster traveled to the dimensional door to Heliseum, where she found Tiron crying, though his tears quickly dried upon seeing his favorite idol. Tiron explained that Specters had just attacked HQ, and that Edea and Piston had rushed in to rescue the soldiers cut off from the others. Though he had faith that Edea and Piston would be safe, he told Angelic Buster that he was worried that the operation was taking much longer than usual, with the number of soldiers holding the barricade growing smaller.

Angelic Buster immediately rushed into the battle, where she encountered Edea and Piston holding the line. After they retook HQ from the Specters, Edea and Piston thanked Angelic Buster for her help and noted that her battle prowess was incredible, despite her delicate appearance. Edea then explained that the Specters had been attacking quite frequently, though the most recent attack had caught them off-guard with the sheer size and scale of the surprise operation, which made her believe that it was due to a lack of intel on their part. As HQ was lacking in many other things, Edea explained that their first priority was to reestablish their operations before continuing the fight.

Piston told Angelic Buster that the Specter Battle Hounds had played a major role in sniffing out HQ, for which he asked her to defeat the monsters. After defeating the Specter Battle Hounds, Angelic Buster returned to Piston, who told her that her efforts had helped free the supply lines. However, in order to open them up further, he asked her to defeat the Specter Shieldbearers in the Forest of Choices.

With the Forest of Choices opened up, Edea asked her to check with the quartermaster, Harpoon, about their supply problem. Outside the tent, Angelic Buster met Harpoon, who was thrilled to see her and introduced himself and his twin brother, Maroon. Harpoon explained that he and Maroon had chopped off their horns on different sides in order to help people tell them apart.

Harpoon then asked her to collect Dinogoth Tails in order to restock their rations. After collecting the meat, Angelic Buster returned back to Harpoon, who thanked her and explained that their next focus was to obtain armor. He revealed that thanks to the help of a great warrior, he had learned that they could take the shields of the Specter Shieldbearers for wood.

After Angelic Buster obtained the shields, Harpoon thanked her and explained that Edea was looking for her. Back at HQ, Edea told her that with their supply lines and rations secured, she hoped to focus on strengthening the soldiers. She explained that though their soldiers had been trained in Pantheon, none of them had ever faced someone as strong as Angelic Buster, and so Edea asked her to spar with the soldiers in order to help them grow stronger.

After Angelic Buster agreed, Piston led her to the training field, where he introduced her to the soldiers as the famous Angelic Buster. He then asked her to demonstrate her skills by sparring with the soldiers. After the sparring session, Edea thanked Angelic Buster for her help, noting that it would go a long way in making the soldiers ready to retake Heliseum.

Soon after, Edea told Angelic Buster that many of the soldiers had unexpectedly asked to spar with her again, as they had been invigorated by her skills and passion. Angelic Buster agreed to another round and fought the soldiers once more. After the battle, Edea told her that in addition to training the soldiers, they would need to obtain stronger weapons for the battle.

Meeting Eurenth

She revealed that the Nova had a powerful weapon called the Blue Dragon Cannon, which was capable of breaking down a city wall in a single blow, though most of it had been lost years ago during the first battle against Magnus. However, she explained that Eurenth, once known as the Great Sage of the Nova, knew how to restore the weapon. Edea asked Angelic Buster to speak with Eurenth, though she warned her that he was rather eccentric, for despite once being a great sage, he was now a recluse who never left his hut in the Forbidden Forest. Angelic Buster was also warned not to mention Edea's name to him.

Angelic Buster traveled through the Forbidden Forest and arrived at Eurenth's hut, where Eurenth her recognized from the rumors circulating about an idol. He noted sarcastically that he had heard stories about strange people coming to Grandis, though it seemed that the strangeness didn't stop there. Nevertheless, he felt the power of the sacred stone that she carried, surprising Angelic Buster with his perception. He then asked why she had come to him with the power of a sacred stone, to which she asked him whether he knew how to restore the Blue Dragon Cannon.

Eurenth explained that though he did, he couldn't share that information with just anyone. However, Angelic Buster earnestly insisted, claiming that it was crucial in retaking Heliseum, to which Eurenth bitterly retorted that it never should have been taken in the first place. However, Eurenth decided to test her by asking her to obtain the tears of Popo, his pet Kaloong, who was a special monster capable of talking. He explained that Popo only cried for people that it liked, though he hadn't been able to get Popo to cry for him in years. He told Angelic Buster that if she could get Popo to cry for her, it would mean that she was truly a special person worthy of the knowledge.

Angelic Buster spoke with Popo and learned that though Eurenth considered it a pet, he never actually fed it. Popo revealed that the Yellow Speeyor monsters had stolen its jewel, and so it asked Angelic Buster to recover the jewel in exchange for its tears. Angelic Buster recovered the jewel and brought it back to Popo, who ate it and revealed that it was actually candy. For her help, Popo gave Angelic Buster a bottle of its tears.

Popo then revealed that the reason why Eurenth lived alone in the woods was because the Nova had ignored his counsel, which had resulted in Magnus taking over the capital. Since then, Popo had refused to shed its tears for Eurenth, as it wanted him to change his mind and continue helping his people. Popo explained that it hoped that Eurenth would reconcile with his disciple, as it didn't want to see him stuck in a rut anymore.

Angelic Buster then brought Popo's tears to Eurenth, who was surprised that she had been able to obtain them. He then presented his documents on the Blue Dragon Cannon and revealed that though he had initially planned to withhold them until the Heliseum Council would beg him for it, he would nevertheless give them to her, just as he had promised. He then told Angelic Buster to hurry and give the documents to Edea. A surprised Angelic Buster asked how Eurenth had known that Edea had sent her, to which Eurenth told her that only his former disciple would know to send her to him.

The Shadowdealers

Angelic Buster then returned back to HQ and gave the documents to Edea, who revealed that though she had once been Eurenth's disciple, she had stopped considering him her teacher after he had gone into exile. After looking through the documents, Edea realized that the cannon, which converted willpower into energy, would be difficult to restore with the lack of supplies at headquarters. She explained that the amplification device couldn't be built with their current resources, as the required materials would need to be obtained outside Pantheon.

As the Nova had cut off all trade routes with external merchants after the fall of Heliseum, Edea realized that only way to obtain the materials without establishing a new trade route would be to work with the Shadowdealers. She explained that the Shadowdealers were black market merchants who worked in the shadows. However, she revealed that the scale of their operations was huge, as they had even handed the secret of creating Vision Bombs to the High Flora.

Though the Shadowdealers weren't directly allied with the High Flora – only siding with the highest bidder – Edea told Angelic Buster that she had wanted to avoid dealing with them unless it was absolutely necessary, despite the fact that they had reached out to the Nova several times in the past. She then gave Angelic Buster a D-03 Transmitter and told her to work with the Shadowdealers to obtain the amplification device for the Blue Dragon Cannon.

At the meet-up spot, Angelic Buster contacted a Shadowdealer named Tonero, who recognized the signal as Edea's and noted his surprise that she had finally reached out to him. After Angelic Buster clarified that she had been sent on behalf of Edea, Tonero traveled to the meet-up spot personally and met with her. Upon learning that she wanted an amplification device, Tonero agreed to help her in exchange for Specter Cores.

After Angelic Buster obtained the cores, Tonero was impressed with how quickly she had returned and noted that she was quite powerful. He also noted that the situation with the Nova seemed to have changed as well, and upon learning that the Nova were planning to retake Heliseum with the help of the Alliance, he told Angelic Buster that he believed that the Nova had a high chance of victory.

He then revealed that he hoped to establish trade with the Nova, as they were major race cut off from the outside world, which meant that there would be no other competition. He added that he would always have an ample amount of trade opportunity whether the Nova prolonged the war or retook Heliseum, as they would need military materials during the battle and resources to maintain the capital.

He explained that he had been hesitant to support the Nova initially, for it would be impossible for them to defeat Gerand Darmoor, even if they were to defeat Magnus. However, with the support of allies from outside Grandis, he noted that there was a chance for victory. He then gave the amplification device to Angelic Buster and told her to give it to Edea as a show of trust that their transactions were trustworthy.

Angelic Buster brought the device to Edea and told her what Tonero had said. Edea explained that she had been worried about the Shadowdealers taking advantage of their war, for which she decided to speak with the Heliseum Council in order to decide their next move in regard to an alliance with the Shadowdealers.

In the meantime, Edea explained that they were in the process of gathering the right coordinates for the Blue Dragon Cannon to fire upon. She then asked Angelic Buster to help Tiron, who was busy calculating the coordinates. Angelic Buster then helped protect Tiron from invading Specters while he finished the necessary calculations.

Taking Downtown Heliseum

Having successfully obtained the coordinates, Edea informed Angelic Buster that all the necessary preparations had been made for launching the weapon. However, she explained that though the weapon had immense power, the true operation would begin after launch. Kaiser then activated the Blue Dragon Cannon, after which the Nova and the Alliance fought to drive back the remainder of enemies.

With Piston's guidance, Angelic Buster continued driving the Specter army into the valley near the outskirts of Heliseum, where Edea unleashed a massive wave of lightning to destroy them all at once. With Magnus' forces in shambles, the Nova were able to push forward and establish a new base camp in Downtown Heliseum.

Edea and Piston then told Angelic Buster that before they could push forward to retake Tyrant's Castle, they would first need to properly setup their new base in the black-market district. Angelic Buster began working with Tiron to defeat the Specters near the base. As Angelic Buster defeated the Guerilla Specters, Tiron was amazed by how many Specters had been deployed by Darmoor, causing him to wonder whether the Specters were all made somewhere.

The pair then began clearing out the Specter Engineers, with Tiron noting that there were no Nova living in Heliseum, as the entire capital was filled with nothing but Specters. He speculated that the Nova who had been unable to flee to Pantheon had already been killed long ago. Moving further into downtown, they began eliminating the Power Specters. As they did, Tiron pointed out that Magnus had filled the entire city with low-intelligence Specters who had no leader directing them, which made him believe that Magnus was shut inside the castle for some unknown reason.

After clearing out downtown, Angelic Buster returned back to Edea, who told her that based on Tiron's investigation, she could conclude that the reason why Magnus had left Heliseum overrun with Specters was because he had no interest in the city itself, as his true goal was the Outrigger, which she explained was a holy relic that the Ancient Gods of the Nova had left behind to protect their people.

Guardians of Heliseum

She then told Angelic Buster that their next mission was to scout out Tyrant's Castle in order to confirm that Magnus was inside. She asked her to check the castle, though she noted to Angelic Buster that she would likely be unable to enter the throne room due to a barrier. However, she warned her not to enter if she found herself able to enter, as Magnus and his defenses were too dangerous for her to handle alone without preparation.

Angelic Buster infiltrated Tyrant's Castle and arrived at the throne room, which she found to be locked. She reported back to Edea, who realized that the locked door meant that the three Guardians of Heliseum were still active. She explained that the three Guardians were responsible for keeping the keys to the throne room, and that Magnus had swayed two of the three Guardians to his side when Heliseum had fallen, which was how he had been able to take the castle so easily.

In order to take the keys from the Guardians, Edea devised a plan and asked Angelic Buster to defeat the Purple Reagent Rocks and Red Reagent Rocks in the eastern part of the castle. After Angelic Buster defeated them, she reported back to Edea, who revealed that Treglow, the eastern Guardian, had created the creatures long ago, and that they still appeared to be active. She then asked Angelic Buster to investigate the basement, which she found to be locked with a chemical seal. Edea explained that Treglow would often lock his laboratory in order to block out distractions, though she had several books which he had lent to her, which outlined the creation of his chemical seal.

After looking through the books, Edea told Angelic Buster to obtain Purple Reagent and Red Reagent in a 3:2 ratio, which would break the chemical seal. Angelic Buster used the reagents in order to melt through the seal before reporting back to Edea. Edea explained that Treglow had been a genius scientist adept in various fields, though chemistry had been his greatest. Despite being celebrated by the Nova, his thirst for achievement had been insatiable, which Magnus had taken advantage of by sending spies to support his research for a long time, procuring books and materials from the High Flora that were difficult to obtain.

Eventually, Magnus had given Treglow a cursed reagent several days before the fall of Heliseum, which he had claimed was extremely useful. Because of the cursed reagent, Treglow had lost his mind, resulting in him obeying Magnus' orders blindly in his madness. Angelic Buster then entered Treglow's lab and defeated him, taking his key in the process.

With Treglow's key, Angelic Buster returned back to Edea, who noted that though she couldn't sympathize with Treglow, she was relived that her old colleague's suffering had been put to an end. She then told Angelic Buster that though she was surprised that Treglow had been alive, she was certain that the western Guardian, Victor, was dead. However, she told Angelic Buster to check his workshop in order to see whether his creatures were still there, which would prove that he was actually alive.

In Victor's workshop, Angelic Buster defeated the Red Totem Staffs and Blue Totem Staffs before reporting back to Edea, who was shocked that Victor was still creating minions, despite his death. She asked Angelic Buster to check Victor's workshop to see what condition he was in, as she was curious to know how he had seemingly survived. Angelic Buster peeked through the door and saw that Victor was nowhere in sight.

She reported back to Edea, who asked her to obtain the key. Inside, however, Angelic Buster encountered a magical canvas that began attacking them. After she defeated the creature, Angelic Buster obtained Victor's key and his diary. She gave the diary to Edea, who read through it and learned that long ago, Victor's fiancée had passed away after falling ill, leaving Victor so heartbroken that he refused to see anyone else, only painting pictures obsessively.

Soon enough, an anonymous sender had given Victor a magical canvas said to bring anything painted upon it to reality. Victor had earnestly drawn his fiancée, though the canvas continued creating only dolls of her. Over time, Victor had felt his soul being bound to the canvas as he compulsively kept drawing upon it.

Edea explained that the diary ended with Victor declaring that he would end his pain by taking his own life. She told Angelic Buster that she felt rather shaken to know the fates of her fellow Guardians, and that the magical canvas which they had fought must have been Victor, with his soul trapped inside it. Nevertheless, she took Victor and Treglow's keys and began combining them with her own.

Facing Velderoth

Just then, however, a Nova soldier arrived and reported that Piston had been seriously injured. At the infirmary, Edea and Angelic Buster met with Piston, who explained that Velderoth had attacked them, and that he had become a new Guardian of Heliseum, replacing Edea. Angelic Buster was both shocked and disturbed upon hearing that Velderoth had sided with Magnus.

Edea noted that she seemed quite surprised and asked whether she knew anything about Velderoth, to which Angelic Buster explained that she had once been close friends with him. Edea sympathize with Angelic Buster, though she reminded her that they were at war, and that she needed to focus, as such things sometimes happened in war, just like how she was facing her former friends, Victor and Treglow.

Though Angelic Buster apologized, Edea told her not to be sorry and admitted that a letter had come for Kaiser some time ago from Velderoth. She explained that in the letter, Velderoth had challenged Kaiser to a one-on-one, and that he had claimed that he would withdraw the Specter army if he lost. Edea noted that it was an obvious trap to separate Kaiser from the rest of their forces, and though she had faith that their forces would be ready for the ambush, Edea asked Angelic Buster to follow Kaiser in order to ensure that he remained safe.

Kaiser - with Angelic Buster secretly following - arrived to find Velderoth, augmented with greater power. Kaiser confronted Velderoth and demanded to know how he could have sided with Magnus. Velderoth asked Kaiser whether he remembered when they had first faced Magnus, and how – despite being Kaiser – he had been nothing more than a child before Magnus.

Velderoth revealed that he had come to realize that Magnus was the path to greater, overwhelming power, which was all that mattered. A shocked Kaiser told Velderoth that power was meant to help others, not to dominate them. However, Velderoth told Kaiser that he could continue using his freely-handed power in such a foolish way, while he would use the power that he had earned from Magnus however he wished.

Kaiser told Velderoth that though he had no desire to fight him, he would fulfill his duty as Kaiser and defeat any who had betrayed the Nova. As he transformed into his Kaiser form, Angelic Buster solemnly thought to herself that Velderoth really had betrayed them. Kaiser then fought against Velderoth, while Angelic Buster secretly dispatched the Specter reinforcements which Velderoth had called for.

After a fierce struggle, Kaiser managed to best his former friend, who was surprised to find that Kaiser had grown even stronger. However, Velderoth laughed that he had only been buying time for the Specter army to overrun the black-market district. Declaring that they would meet again, Velderoth disappeared and left Kaiser to return back to HQ.

Angelic Buster returned as well and met with Edea, who explained that Kaiser had already told her the full story. Angelic Buster then revealed that she had dispatched Velderoth's reinforcements, to which Edea noted in relief that it was fortunate that she had been sent to follow Kaiser, adding that it was thanks to her that they hadn't lost him.

With little resistance left, Edea hoped to launch the final attack on Tyrant's Castle. However, she first asked Angelic Buster to defeat Velderoth, who was a formidable opponent as the third Guardian of Heliseum, though she wondered whether it was right of her to ask Angelic Buster to defeat a former friend, noting that Angelic Buster, despite being a hero, was still quite young. Though she offered to let another warrior handle it, Angelic Buster insisted on following through, claiming that it was her duty as Velderoth's former friend to face him and try her best to reason with him.

Angelic Buster fought her way into Velderoth's chambers, where she found him waiting for her. Angelic Buster attempted to convince Velderoth to return back to Pantheon, claiming that he wasn't the type of person to follow someone like Magnus. When Velderoth demanded to know how she could know what type of person he was, Angelic Buster revealed herself as Tear.

However, Velderoth called her bluff, claiming that Tear had no magical powers. Angelic Buster then revealed that she had obtained powers from the sacred stone, and that she had been defeated by Magnus alongside him and Kaiser, for which she had been training hard ever since. To her surprise, however, Velderoth was infuriated to know that just like Kaiser, Tear had been blessed with magical power, whereas he was the only one amongst them who hadn't been blessed with luck.

He then declared that it didn't matter to him whether she was Tear or not, as he would only follow Magnus, who would become the sole victor in the end. As he declared that he would remove her, Angelic Buster paused for a moment before claiming that he had made his choice. She noted that though she hadn't been able to stop him from going down such a path, she would take him down in the name of their old friendship. After a fierce battle, Velderoth was defeated by Angelic Buster, forcing him to retreat.

Defeating Magnus

Angelic Buster then reported back to Edea, who noted that while Velderoth may remain a thorn in their side, his injuries meant that he would be out of the picture for some time. She then explained that she had combined the keys and unlocked the throne room. She warned Angelic Buster that Magnus would likely be trying to absorb the power of the Outrigger, though the fact that his door had remained locked likely meant that he was encountering trouble. As Magnus taking its power would spell disaster, Edea asked her to stop him while the Nova held off the Specters.

Angelic Buster arrived in the throne room, where she found Magnus attempting to absorb the power of the Outrigger. However, Magnus was quickly pushed back by the relic, causing him to seethe in fury that he had failed once again. He then cursed the Ancient Gods of the Nova and demanded to know why they continued to reject him, despite having taken the Nova throne.

He then wondered whether they were rejecting him because he had betrayed the Nova, sighing to himself that he should have found a way to take the sacred stones of the Nova and transfer the rest of the Outrigger's power into them. Nevertheless, he declared that he would never give up, and that the Ancient Gods' power would be his. He then declared that he would kill every single Nova in the world, even if it meant that he would be the only one left.

Just then, Angelic Buster confronted Magnus and vowed to stop him. Magnus was surprised to see Angelic Buster, whom he didn't recognize from their last fight, and wondered whether Heliseum's defenses had been breached. He angrily seethed that the Guardians were all useless – even Velderoth, who had originally seemed promising to him. However, he laughed that a fight would be more entertaining, as he was sick of trying to absorb the holy relic. He then addressed Angelic Buster as a stranger and told her to draw out her weapon and show her full power. Magnus and Angelic Buster then fought in a fierce battle, during which, Magnus lost control of Guwaru's power, allowing it to flow back into him on Maple World.

After Angelic Buster emerged victorious, Magnus expressed his shock that he had lost, claiming that it couldn't be over yet when he still had work to finish. Suddenly, a large, mysterious vortex appeared and sucked in both Magnus and the Outrigger, causing them to disappear from the throne room. A shocked Angelic Buster returned back to Edea and told her everything that had happened. Though Edea was surprised to learn of Magnus' fate, she nevertheless thanked Angelic Buster profusely for helping them retake Heliseum, explaining that she had never thought that she would see the day that the Nova would regain their capital.

Nova Alliance

As part of the celebration, the Nova arranged for a festival headlined by Angelic Buster, who agreed to put on a performance for both the Nova and the people of Maple World. After the concert, however, Edea met with Angelic Buster and noted that despite her early happiness, there was still a lot of work to do, as Magnus was still alive, the Outrigger was missing, and Heliseum was barely up and running.

She also noted that their true enemy, Gerand Darmoor, had remained completely absent throughout the conflict, which made her wonder whether their struggle to retake a single city was beneath his notice as the ruler of all of Grandis. However, she explained that it was possible that the Nova would fight him one day, and that the people of Maple World may be involved in that battle as well. She told Angelic Buster that though his goals remained unknown, it was possible that for someone who already ruled Grandis, it was possible that he would covet to rule another world.

In order to prepare for the coming fight, Edea decided that the Nova would officially join the Maple Alliance, for which she traveled to Ereve in order to finalize the details. There, she spoke with the Alliance leaders, who were pleased with having new allies. Though Claudine was wary about committing to a fight against another enemy when the threat of the Black Mage still remained, Edea noted that she had learned that their two worlds were connected, and that the enemies of one world were the enemies of the other. Cygnus welcomed Edea and hoped that their alliance would make them all stronger.

Meeting Ark

Angelic Buster later met Ark at Eurenth's hut, where he told her how Kaiser had recruited him to join the Heliseum Reclamation HQ. She told him that she was grateful for more allies, as it had taken a lot of people to help breach the city. He asked her who else had helped retake Heliseum, to which she replied that she had only heard of the Maple Alliance, the Hero of Justice, and another person who looked similar to Ark. Realizing that it was likely a Verdant Flora, Ark asked if she knew where they were. She pointed him to the City Center, where he encountered Illium.

Fox Valley

When Angelic Buster first arrives at Fox Point Village, she sees that the villagers have fox ears and tails, and she wonders whether she's stumbled across a hidden village of fox Anima.

Black Heaven

As Angelic Buster was about to board the Lumiere, she ran into Kaiser. After exchanging greetings, he explained that he had gone back to Pantheon in order to see Tear before the mission, but he had found that she was out. He asked Angelic Buster if she had gone to see anyone back home, to which she explained that she had a close friend, though her friend wouldn't recognize her in her current form. Kaiser asked how someone couldn't recognize the same person even with different hair and clothes, claiming that it only happened in comics.

Both she and Eskalade silently sighed at his cluelessness before she changed the subject and asked if he was disappointed that Tear wasn't there. Kaiser told her that it was fine, as he had left something for her at their hideout. She asked if it was a sparkling rock, which got Kaiser's attention, as only he and Tear knew about how he collected shiny rocks for her. He then noticed that Angelic Buster's voice sounded like Tear's, leading him to mistakenly conclude that she and Tear were secretly friends, believing that it explained why they had so much in common, much to Angelic Buster's relief and annoyance.

After Athena Pierce and the player fight their way to the main deck, Athena gives a word of encouragement to the player as they charge into battle, which depends on their class. For Angelic Buster, Athena tells her to show the enemies the power of an idol of the battlefield.

Vanishing Journey

After the player defeats Arma, Kao will speak to the player while being carried through the cave. Kao asks Angelic Buster if she remembers when she had awakened with the power of the Seal Stone. Kao recalls her own life, and how she had shouldered the responsibility to save another dimension instead of her own. Though she hadn't shown it, Kao notes that it must have weighted on herself, and for good reason, as it was someone else's world and not her own.

However, Kao adds that she had taken her responsibilities seriously, and though she wants to say that her heart had been true, she finds that she's not sure anymore. She then wonders whether there's someone better than her who can actually save the world. Kao then supposes that she had lost her worthiness the moment that her faith had wavered.

Yum Yum Island

Upon encountering the Afrien fusion, Angelic Buster will initially mistake the creature for a Nova before realizing that its energy is completely different from normal Nova, as the creature has a dragon face, whereas the Nova have human faces.

Esfera

Upon meeting Melange, Angelic Buster will note that she's never seen anyone of Melange's species before in Grandis.

After seeing the Black Moon in the skies above Esfera, the Adversary notes to themselves that their long struggle against the Black Mage is finally coming to an end. Angelic Buster gets some exclusive dialogue, in which she also notes to herself that defeating the Black Mage will also take her one step closer towards defeating Gerand Darmoor, which will allow Grandis to know peace once more.

After witnessing how Aeona and Tana received their names, Angelic Buster gets some exclusive dialogue, in which she recalls rumors that Aeona had once faced Gerand Darmoor.

After learning about the origin of the Executors from Melange, Angelic Buster gets exclusive dialogue, in which she notes that Melange's explanation is completely new to her, and that she doesn't think that anyone has ever seen the Executors before.

When Melange points out that Aeona had seemed to have wiped out seven races of Grandis against her will, Angelic Buster gets exclusive dialogue, in which she asks Melange if there were more races in the past that they never knew about. When Melange tells the Adversary about how the Transcendents of Grandis had actively shaped their world, he will preclude his explanation by saying that they might already know that if the player is Angelic Buster.

Labyrinth of Suffering

After Cygnus tells Neinheart that she will lead the fleet into Tenebris in the Adversary's place, Angelic Buster gets exclusive dialogue, in which she notes that the Empress is more resolved than ever. Thinking about the upcoming battle, she realizes that if they don't win the war, then Grandis won't be safe either. She then resolves herself to defend Maple World and Grandis.

When the player first meets with Azalin - Hilla disguised as a Night Walker - she tells Angelic Buster how amazing it is that people from another world are working so hard to fight for Maple World. Quietly to herself, however, she snidely remarks how funny it is that Angelic Buster is trying to protect Maple World when she can't even protect her own. When Angelic Buster asks her what she had just said, Azalin tells her that she had merely said that she seems a little distracted.

After the Adversary collapses into despair as a result of Hilla's machinations, they pass out in a void of darkness within their own mind. As their morale and strength threaten to diminish completely, the mysterious divine light speaks to them in the form of someone close to them and provides them motivation to continue.

For Angelic Buster, the voice of Fenelle asks her why she risks her life to save others. Angelic Buster tells her that it's because everyone is that precious to her, to which Fenelle asks her why she cares so much for Maple World, as it's nothing like Grandis. She replies that Maple World is the home where her loved ones live, and that it's a precious place, filled with happy memories.

She explains that the people of Maple World had come to Grandis and had helped save them when they had needed it most, and that it's now their turn to help them. Fenelle asks her whether she remembers what she needs to do next, to which Angelic Buster begins to say hopelessly that everyone is already dead, and that she couldn't protect anyone. She realizes that they'll never be able to return to Maple World, adding that there's nothing that she can do, and that she's completely helpless.

She then asks what else she can do, to which Fenelle tells her to open her eyes and see for herself, explaining that even if Hilla covers her eyes, she can never cover the truth. She asks Angelic Buster to open her eyes, get up, and do what she has to do. Angelic Buster realizes that what she needs to do now is to get back up and keep moving forward, as Maple World cannot fall while Darmoor still remains, for which there's no time to despair. Fenelle proudly notes that she's matured and reminds her that all roads exist inside her heart, and to never forget that. As the voice fades away, Angelic Buster recognizes the voice as belonging to Fenelle.

Limina

When the Adversary faces the Black Mage, he tells them that their path has always been preordained. In response to his words, Angelic Buster vows that she'll transcend the destiny that the Black Mage has created for the sake of everyone who calls Maple World their home.

After the Adversary scatters into Erda after killing the Black Mage, they awaken in the Erda Flow, where the White Mage thanks them for putting an end to the battle and helping him liberate the world from the influence of the Overseers. After the conversation, the Adversary will return back to the real world. As they do, the White Mage will give them a unique title based on their class; the title he gives to Angelic Buster is "Descendent of Dragons".

After the final battle, the Adversary will return back to the Outpost and speak with Neinheart and the other leaders of the Alliance. For Angelic Buster, Neinheart tells her that all of Maple World owes her a debt that can never be repaid. Cygnus adds that the Alliance's allies in Grandis played a major role in bringing peace to Maple World, for which they have her utmost gratitude.

Edea notes that they were fortunate enough that the situation on Grandis was quiet enough for them to come. She adds that there's no telling what will happen next, though this was a nice enough break. Cygnus then promises that Maple World will be there when Grandis needs help, just as Angelic Buster was there for Maple World.

Aftermath

In Pantheon, Angelic Buster ran into Kaiser, who told her that he was just leaving, as he had been looking for Tear and believed that he had just missed her. Upon hearing this, Angelic Buster internally cursed herself for not having come sooner. Kaiser then asked what she was doing at Eurenth's hut. Angelic Buster lied and explained that she was looking for Tear as well, since she hadn't seen her in a while.

Kaiser told her that Tear was hard to track down, and that he worried about her. Angelic Buster told him not to, as Tear was doing great. When Kaiser pointed out that she had just said that she hadn't met Tear in a while, Angelic Buster brushed it off by saying that even two days felt like an eternity for close friends.

Kaiser then decided to head out and asked her to say hello to Tear for him. As he began to leave, Angelic Buster felt bad and called after him, making up a story that Tear had asked her to tell him something in the hopes that it would get him to stay. Thinking of an excuse to keep talking, she told him that Tear had wanted to thank him for the sparkling rock at the Heliseum Hideout.

Kaiser asked if she had said anything else, to which Angelic Buster replied that Tear had been touched by the gesture. He asked if she had seemed happy, but he appeared even more sad after Angelic Buster told him that she was. Kaiser explained that it used to be the case that Tear would start crying after he would give her gifts and added that he loved the way that she smiled when she was teary-eyed with joy. He then told Angelic Buster that she was right about him not having to worry, as it sounded like Tear was doing fine on her own, and that she didn't need him anymore.

As he turned to leave, Angelic Buster called after him again and told him to keep waiting, as Tear might come by again. However, Kaiser told her that he didn't need to, as it was enough for him to know that Tear was okay. After he left, Angelic Buster spoke with Eskalade, who noted that she seemed to have a lot on her mind. Angelic Buster told Eskalade that talking with Kaiser had reminded her of how weak she used to be, and how she would always cry over everything.

However, she added that Kaiser hadn't seemed to mind it, and that he had once even given her good advice when she had been really upset, which was that no matter how dark and stormy it might get, the sun always came to chase the clouds away. Eskalade then asked her what she was going to do next, since she had now become a real hero. She replied that she was going to make her own celebratory rainbow at the end of a centuries-long storm in order to boost the people's spirits as Angelic Buster.

Main Story

The Relic

Many decades after the fall of Heliseum, the Nova continued living in Pantheon, whose borders were safeguarded by the Protective Shield generated by the four Nova relics. Two children named Kyle and Velderoth became friends with a girl named Tear, who had been shunned by the Nova for having been born without magic or a tail. Together, they became the Heliseum Force and trained every day in order to become strong enough to take back their capital.

Velderoth and Kyle soon became knights, bringing them one step closer to realizing their dream. One day, Kyle sensed that something was wrong at the East Sanctum while training. There, the three encountered strange priests whom they had never seen before approaching the relic. Velderoth decided get reinforcements and told Kyle and Tear to keep an eye on the priests, though he warned them not to play hero.

While overhearing the priests, Tear quickly realized that they were planning to steal the relic and weaken the Protective Shield. Before the priests could take the relic, Tear charged ahead and grabbed it first, immediately falling unconscious upon touching it. As the priests advanced on Tear, Kyle suddenly felt a fiery power within himself and awakened as Kaiser.

He launched a devastating attack upon the priests in his Kaiser form before falling unconscious himself. As the remaining priests approached Kyle in order to finish him off, an unconscious Tear tapped into the power of the relic, inadvertently allowing her to defeat them. By then, Velderoth had brought reinforcements, all of whom witnessed Kyle's awakening and took the two children back to Pantheon.

Tear woke up in the infirmary first and spoke with the knight, Cartalion, and the High Priestess, Fenelle, who told her that she had been cursed by the relic. Upon learning that it was stuck to her arm, Tear realized that the Protective Shield had been permanently weakened because of her actions.

Upset by the news, she ran off as a priest named Kylan went after her. He attempted to console her by noting how auspicious it was that the relic, which had never reacted to any other priest, clung so tightly to her. However, Tear merely cried that she had never asked for it to happen and ran off to the Heliseum Force hideout.

Soon after, Kaiser arrived at the hideout and asked her how she was doing. Though Tear appeared happy, Kaiser could clearly tell that she had been crying. He learned that she was feeling guilty about having weakened the Protective Shield, though she told him not to worry about it, as she didn't want to ruin anything else.

Becoming Angelic Buster

After telling Kaiser that she wanted some time alone, Tear decided to return to the East Sanctum in order to see whether returning the relic to its original location would release it from her arm. On her way there, a voice called from inside the relic and introduced itself as Eskalade, who offered to grant his powers to Tear through a contract. At the East Sanctum, he told her to look for a ring near the pedestal where the relic used to be.

After she put it on, she underwent a transformation that turned her into a pretty pink superhero with an unnecessarily short skirt, and Eskalade explained that her magical transformation was necessary for her powers to reach maximum effect. Though she was upset at Eskalade's perverted behavior, she begrudgingly accepted the arrangement, as it would grant her the power that she had always desired.

Just then, Nefarious Priests arrived and saw that the relic was attached to Tear's arm. Though they attempted to take it, Tear was easily able to defeat them with her new powers. Eskalade then introduced himself as Eskalade Lorang, a great Nova warrior. Eskalade also told her that he would soon need Essence Stones to keep fueling his power. Reminding her to keep her identity secret, he told Tear that her hero name would be Angelic Buster.

Helping the Nova

Soon after, Tear returned to the hideout and found that Kyle had brought her flowers in order to cheer her up. She thanked him, but mentioned that she would have liked sparkling rocks instead. After she left the hideout, Tear decided to see Cartalion in order to find something heroic to do. Cartalion was enamored by Angelic Buster's lovely appearance and asked her to defeat the weak Sleepy Grobblers around Pantheon, telling her that he didn't want her to get hurt. Tear easily defeated the Grobblers and told Cartalion that she wanted a challenge. Cartalion was impressed by her skills and promised to let her know once he had more work for her.

After she left, Tear realized that with her new powers, she could now gather sparkling rocks by herself. On her way into the forest, she ran into Velderoth, who was stunned by her beauty. She asked if there was anything that she could help him with, to which he stammered that she could take care of the Limestone Tokkas. While hunting them, Tear was pleased to find a sparkling rock, which she kept for herself.

After completing Velderoth's mission, she ran into Selene, who asked her to bring food to Kylan, who had been skipping meals because of his work. Selene then told Tear that her cooking supplies had been disappearing and asked her to collect some Alert Grobbler Stalks in order to restock the missing ingredients. While hunting them, Eskalade told her to find Alert Grobbler Dewdrop Goo, which would make her voice more angelic. Though Tear hated how sticky it felt down her throat, the goo successfully made her voice more melodic.

After bringing the stalks to Selene, she asked Tear to tell Cartalion that her ingredients were disappearing. Cartalion promised that he would look into it and told her that Kylan needed help in the Great Temple. Kylan asked her to collect Laloong Horns for his research, after which she helped Fenelle gather Glow Glow Stones as catalysts for her spells.

After bringing her the stones, Fenelle asked whether she was under the protection of an ancient Nova, as she had felt an ancient presence ever since meeting her. As Tear stammered nervously, Fenelle smiled and apologized if it was meant to be a secret. She told Tear that she believed that an ancient Nova spirit dwelled within the relic that she carried, but only the chosen could access its power. She speculated that Tear was favored by the Nova spirit and added that she had always known that Tear was special.

After she sent Tear to see Cartalion, Eskalade told her that he was upset that Fenelle had learned about her identity, but Tear assured him that Fenelle was like a grandmother to her, and so she wouldn't misuse the knowledge. She then met with Cartalion, who explained that the Grumpy Grobbler population had exploded, causing large amounts of pollen to cluster in their storehouses.

Theft of the Relics

After taking care of the Grumpy Grobblers, Tear began returning from her mission when Eskalade sensed Nefarious Priests nearby. After Tear defeated them, she discovered that the priests had stolen Selene's missing ingredients. She immediately reported the incident to Cartalion, who told her that Kaiser had also reported strange behavior from the priests and explained that he didn't have enough evidence to turn against them yet. However, he reassured her that he would have his scouts investigate and added that as the East Sanctum had recently been attacked, she ought to investigate the North Sanctum, where he had recently dispatched Kaiser.

Tear arrived at the North Sanctum and spoke to Anor, who began to shamelessly flirt with her and asked her to collect Kaloong Wings for him as a favor. After Tear returned with the Kaloong Wings. Anor thanked her and explained that between her and Kaiser, all of his errands had been completed. He then told her that Kaiser had gone to the South Sanctum and suggested that she follow him.

On her way, Tear found a wave of priests arriving at the South Sanctum. After defeating them, she learned from Christina that Kaiser had fought the first wave, and that he had gone to warn Cartalion. Tear immediately headed to the West Sanctum, as she knew that Ismail, who was guarding the relic, was as helpless as she was without Eskalade's powers. At the West Sanctum, Tear arrived to find that not only was it completely deserted, but the relic was also missing.

Eskalade sensed that the Nefarious Priests' base was in the East Pantheon Forest and told Tear to head over there. Tear fought through the defenses and encountered the priests' leader speaking to a hologram of Magnus. Their leader reported that two of the relics had been lost, with one of them being in their possession. Magnus was pleased and told him that he would prepare for his assault on Pantheon.

After the call ended, Tear attacked the priests' leader and defeated him before reclaiming the relic.[4] On their way back, Tear also recovered the stores of Selene's missing ingredients, which had been stolen by the priests. She successfully returned to Cartalion and gave him the relic, as well as the news of Magnus' imminent assault.

Assault on Pantheon

As the Specters began invading Pantheon, Cartalion learned that there was a large force at the northern border. He contacted Tear and asked her to hold the northern border until Kaiser and the knights arrived. While Tear fought the Specters, Kaiser and the other knights returned from the eastern border and were quickly redirected to reinforce Tear in the north by Cartalion, who asked them to hold the line until the Protective Shield was fully recharged. With the enemy numbers on the eastern border thinning, Cartalion asked Tear to sweep up all the remaining Specters there. After a fierce struggle, Tear managed to repel the army, even before the Protective Shield came back up.

Cartalion was surprised at how weak Magnus' army was, but he was nevertheless pleased that the attack was finally over. However, Eskalade was dubious and suspected that the enemy assault was a feint to draw their attention away from Magnus' true plan. He told Tear to check the western border, where she found that the Specters were preparing a summoning ritual.

Tear immediately let Cartalion know what was happening, but just as Cartalion told her that he would come up with a plan, news reached him that a massive invasion army had appeared at both the northern and southern borders. While he sent Kaiser to stop the ritual, he asked Tear to fight off the Specters at the northern border.

After Kaiser successfully stopped the ritual, Cartalion thanked him profusely and asked him to check with Fenelle on the status of the Protective Shield. With the northern forces thinning, he also redirected Tear to defend the south until the Protective Shield came back up. Tear fought to her limit, but even she was ultimately overwhelmed by the Specters. Just as she faltered, the Protective Shield was finally restored, immediately vaporizing all Specters inside Pantheon.

Turning the Tides

After the battle was over, Kaiser realized that the Protective Shield was a powerful weapon against the Specters and formulated a plan to lure the entire Specter army inside the borders, where they would then reactivate the Protective Shield and wipe out all of Magnus' forces at once. He proposed his plan to Fenelle, who supported his idea, despite knowing the risks that it posed. After the plan was approved, Kylan gave Kaiser the Magic Amplifier device used to activate the shield and asked him to bring it to Cartalion.

Cartalion told Kaiser that Captain Piston would take the Amplifier and drop it near the Specters' summoning ritual square in order to bait them into using the Amplifier to power their summoning ritual, which would bring the entire army to Pantheon, at which point they would reactivate the Protective Shield and wipe them all out at once. He then summoned Tear and asked her to help them lay the trap at the southern border. As Magnus' entire army was summoned to Pantheon, Tear lured them in through the southern border, where nearly all the Specters were vaporized upon the Protective Shield's reactivation.

Having decimated Magnus' forces, Cartalion excitedly told Kaiser and Tear that they finally had an opportunity to retake Heliseum. He then asked the pair to defeat the stronger Specters still inside the city, whose strength allowed them to resist the Protective Shield's magic. After Kaiser and Tear cleaned up the remaining Specters, they were shocked to find Magnus inside the Protective Shield's radius. Magnus praised Kaiser for his cunning plan, just as Velderoth arrived. Kaiser told Magnus that he had no power inside the Protective Shield and claimed that it was over. However, Magnus simply laughed and told Kaiser that he was nothing compared to his predecessor.

As the three moved to attack, Magnus easily managed to defeat them, even while weakened by the Protective Shield's magic. Just then, Cartalion arrived and immediately summoned reinforcements to capture Magnus. However, Magnus told Cartalion that he wasn't in the mood for another fight and quickly retreated. After Cartalion took the three back to Pantheon, he told them how terrifying it was to witness Magnus' immense power and noted that Magnus was in possession of a corrupted Kaiserium.

Velderoth's Betrayal

Kaiser was just as shaken and wondered how they could ever hope to take back Heliseum after witnessing Magnus' power. He then returned to the Heliseum Hideout in order to check on Velderoth, who had been wounded by Magnus. There, he encountered Tear consoling Velderoth, who was shaking with fear.

Upon seeing Kaiser, Velderoth began mocking him for losing to Magnus, claiming that Kyle wasn't a hero like the Nova believed. He also added that Kyle had only beaten him in their hunting match because of his new powers, and that Kyle had always been weaker than him before awakening. He bitterly wondered why Kyle had been chosen as the next Kaiser, believing that it should have been himself instead because of his superior strength, adding that Kyle had been handed out free power that he didn't deserve.

As Kaiser began to retort, Tear told him to leave Velderoth alone. Kaiser then asked if she was alright, as she had several bruises on her, but Tear lied and explained that she had merely tripped. As the two began to joke around together, Velderoth became even more furious at their casual attitude and decided that he was leaving the Heliseum Protector Vanguard, claiming that it had been a worthless group in the end. Believing that he had no future in Pantheon, he stormed off and left the city in search of power.

A New World

Some time later, Beldar contacted Angelic Buster and told her that she had been tasked with accompanying Kaiser to the new world that lay beyond the Interdimensional Portal in the hopes of finding a Transcendent who could help them fight Gerand Darmoor. When Tear asked him about the Interdimensional Portal, Beldar explained how several portals had been created throughout Grandis when Darmoor had stolen Chronica's power. He added that the Nova had sealed the portal inside the Great Temple as a precaution, as they had no idea where it led.

As Tear was confused about the concept of the Transcendents, Beldar told her about the three Transcendents of Grandis, and that Chronica and Aeona were all but gone from their world. Tear then asked how Grandis hadn't yet been destroyed if Darmoor held such formidable power. Beldar agreed and explained that it also puzzled the Nova scholars, though he suspected that a Transcendent stealing another's powers would inflict weakness upon them, conjecturing that it was a safeguard created by the Overseers. Tear was once again confused by the strange terms, and so an annoyed Beldar explained how the Primordial God had created the three Overseers of Light, Life, and Time in order to watch over the Transcendents of the three worlds.

Having answered all of Tear's questions, he told her to remain on standby while Kaiser reactivated the Interdimensional Portal. While waiting, Eskalade told her that he had found the last remnants of the Nefarious Priests in the Orange Forest. Tear then infiltrated their base and learned that not only had Magnus abandoned the priests, but he was also refusing to ask Darmoor for reinforcements. Tear then recovered more of Selene's ingredients and returned them to her before reporting what she had learned to Cartalion. Meanwhile, Kaiser finished gathering the materials, which Kylan then used to reactivate the Interdimensional Portal. While Kaiser was summoned by Cartalion, Tear decided to go ahead and entered the portal on her own.

Nova Alliance

During her adventures in Maple World, Angelic Buster was contacted by Kaiser. After reuniting, she asked how his time in Maple World had been going, and so he explained that he had been busy training and getting stronger. He then told her that she reminded him of another girl whom he knew who looked exactly the same as her.

Angelic Buster tactfully changed the subject and asked if he had found any warriors to help the Nova. Kaiser explained that he had encountered the Maple Alliance, which the Council had decided to join. In exchange for helping the Alliance defeat the Black Mage and the Black Wings, the Alliance would help the Nova reclaim Heliseum.

Angelic Buster was surprised at how mature Kaiser had become after learning that he had successfully negotiated an alliance. Kaiser then asked how she had been doing in Maple World, to which she merely replied that she had been doing well. Kaiser told her that his heart felt warm, as though he was seeing a piece of home after meeting her.

He then asked if she had made any allies, to which she vaguely mentioned that she hadn't made too many. Kaiser told her that she didn't need to justify herself and added that he hoped that Tear was doing as well as she was. He explained that he kept thinking about how Tear was doing alone in Pantheon after Velderoth had left and wistfully told her that he missed the old days together.

Angelic Buster accidentally let it slip that she also missed those days, to which Kaiser asked if she had a friend like Tear back home. Angelic Buster told him vaguely about Kyle and Velderoth without specifying their names, prompting Kaiser to ask more about her life back in Pantheon.

The two then spent many hours talking together about their time in Pantheon and Maple World. At the end of their reminiscing, Kaiser told her that she was a light for the Nova, and that he hoped to be as inspiring as her. Angelic Buster was touched at how considerate and mature Kaiser had become, and the two then went their separate ways.

Soon after, Francis contacted Angelic Buster and tried to recruit her into the Black Wings. However, Angelic Buster attacked Francis and told him that the Nova were allied with the Alliance.

As Tear continued to explore Maple World, she collected Essence Stones from Drakes, Wild Kargos, Lioners, Star Pixies, and White Fangs, much to Eskalade's delight.

The Black Mage's Laboratory

Soon after, Neinheart contacted Angelic Buster and explained that at Kaiser's request, he was giving her the report that the Alliance had compiled on the Black Mage's laboratory in Magatia. Angelic Buster read through the report, but found that was confused by some of the details. She asked Eskalade why the Overseers allowed people like the Black Mage and Gerand Darmoor to become Transcendents in the first place.

Eskalade explained that Transcendents didn't have to be good, but rather, they simply needed to bring balance to the domain that they ruled. As an example, he cited the Black Mage and explained that he was fated to be defeated, which would allow for the light to equalize itself. Angelic Buster then asked why the Transcendents needed to get involved to begin with.

Eskalade explained that Transcendents could be either immortal or mortal, but they were mandated to maintain a balance. Should one of the three domains begin to falter, so would the Transcendent that watched over it. Angelic Buster asked if that was why Darmoor had awakened as the Transcendent of Life during the Flora Civil War, but Eskalade replied that he didn't know who Darmoor was, as he only had knowledge of events that had occurred before he had been trapped inside the relic.

Angelic Buster then showed him the report that Kaiser had written up, which Eskalade found interesting. He told her that the main takeaway from the report was that Transcendents had a fascination for each other's powers, which explained why Darmoor and the Black Mage had stolen the powers of their respective Transcendents of Time. Angelic Buster then remembered Beldar's explanation on how the Interdimensional Portals had begun to appear after Darmoor had used Chronica's powers.

Eskalade told her that when a Transcendent used another's powers, there would be some sort of negative side-effect, which could range between something simple like a physical backlash to something as severe as a disruption of the spacetime continuum. Eskalade told her that they would need to seek out the World Tree or Aeona in order to use their Transcendent powers against both the Black Mage and Darmoor and explained that according to legend, Aeona was said to live in the Sanctum of Light, a place where only light could reach.

Soon after, Tear collected more Essence Stones from Triple Rumos, Neo Huroids, Chao, and Ephenia, finally satisfying Eskalade's appetite.

Temple of Time

While exploring the Temple of Time, Angelic Buster's memories were drained by Dodo. After being told by the Record Keeper to return to where his adventure began, Angelic Buster realized that her adventure had technically begun when she had met Eskalade, but her true beginning had been with the Heliseum Force. She recalled that Kyle and Velderoth were the only ones who had treated her like a friend, as everyone else had made fun of her for not having magic.

She noted that everything had used to be so worry-free back then, whereas the present was full of fighting and anger. She remembered how much fun that they used to have chasing Limestone Tokkas and running away from Kaloongs, making her wish that she could return back to that life. She then reminded herself that her home would always be the Heliseum Hideout, and that no matter what paths she, Velderoth, and Kyle took, the memories of their youth would always remain.

Final Quest

Eskalade congratulated Tear on reaching full power and Tear thanked Eskalade for helping her, even in spite of his lechery. Eskalade then offered to form a final contract with her, which would create the ultimate dragon bond between them. He also confessed that her transformation had nothing to do with accessing his powers, but that he simply did it because he thought Tear looked attractive in her outfit. Tear laughed and told him that though she had already figured it out long ago, she had learned to accept it, and that she even liked how cute she looked in her outfit. With that, they formed their final contract, allowing Tear to wield even greater power as Angelic Buster.

Fifth Job Advancement

Upon entering the Erda Flow and meeting with the Goddess of Maple World, the Goddess asks the player what it is that they cherish most in the world. Angelic Buster gets to choose between Kyle or everyone whom she helps as Angelic Buster. After she makes her choice and talks to the Goddess, Eskalade will interrupt and asks if he's one of the choices. Angelic Buster will reassure him that he's precious to her, although she'll think to herself that she completely forgot about him.

Upon entering the Erda Flow and meeting with the Goddess of Grandis, the Goddess explained that she had been watching Angelic Buster's progress intently and notes that Angelic Buster has done well to protect and grow her power.

Sixth Job Advancement

After the player frees the Goddess of Grandis, the Goddess will recognize Angelic Buster and greet her by name.

Information Broker Bureau

While reading through several documents about Grandis, Hoyoung read a document compiled by Angelic Buster, under the alias of Curious Girl AB, which detailed the history of the Flora, including the Flora Civil War and Darmoor's awakening as the Transcendent of Life. It also mentioned that around that time, the Anima had disappeared without a trace, with only the Nova in Pantheon fighting back against Darmoor's forces.

Meeting Adele

While investigating Adele after her recent appearance in Pantheon, the Nova discovered a helmet of a Knight of the Einherjar in their possession. Believing that it may help Adele in her search for her lost memories, Fenelle asked Angelic Buster to deliver it to her.

At the Heliseum Force Hideout, Adele met Angelic Buster, who warned Adele that, though she was unsure whether Adele used to work for Gerand Darmoor, she would need to choose a side after recovering her memories and recommended that she pick the Nova over Darmoor. She also told Adele that her people had been brutally massacred by Darmoor, and that anyone who served him was her enemy, adding that she hoped that Fenelle wasn't wrong about her.

Meeting Lara

As Lara made her way to Pantheon to use the Interdimensional Portal, she was greeted by Kyle and Tear at the outskirts, who had been sent by Fenelle. They then escorted her to the Great Temple, where Fenelle judged her worthiness to use the Interdimensional Portal.

Heliseum Reclamation HQ

Pushing Forward

Angelic Buster learned from Beldar that Kaiser had gone to the Heliseum Reclamation HQ, and so she decided to go after him. On the way, she encountered Tiron, who told her that a Specter ambush had resulted in many of their troops being killed. Though Kaiser had fought them off, Tiron explained that there were more Specters arriving through the back in order to cut them off.

As she fought off the Specters, Edea followed her out of concern, but she was impressed by Angelic Buster's power and asked her to meet at the Commander Barracks. There, Edea told her that they needed to break the enemy's defensive stranglehold and asked her to defeat the Specter Battle Hounds.

Angelic Buster defeated the hounds and brought back their horns as proof to Piston, who thanked her and then asked her to defeat the Specter Shieldbearers. After taking them down, she returned back to Piston, who asked her to help Harpoon. Harpoon told her that Kaiser had been helping them with their food shortage and asked if she would help clear up the supply routes. In order to help him out, she defeated the Red and Blue Speeyors along the route. Next, she helped him steal shields from the Specter Shieldbearers for their troops.

The Blue Dragon Cannon

With the supply route problem fixed, she went to report to Piston and asked where Kaiser was. Piston explained that Kaiser had gone to Pantheon with the Blue Dragon Cannon. She returned to Pantheon and met with Cartalion, who told her that they were experiencing problems with the weapon. Beldar then approached her and asked her to deal with the once peaceful Dinogoths, who had grown violent ever since the Specters had begun destroying their home.

After she returned, Beldar informed her that Kaiser had already left for Heliseum with the Blue Dragon Cannon. She then went after him and managed to catch up with him. Kaiser told her that the Specters were behaving oddly, and that he suspected that they had learned that the Blue Dragon Cannon was being moved. Though she offered to team up with him and deal with them, Kaiser asked her to ensure that the cannon reached Edea while he covered her.

She brought the cannon to Edea and explained the situation to her. Edea asked her to help Tiron scout for potential targets for the weapon while Kaiser finished dealing with the Specters. When she met Tiron, he explained that he had been chased off by Specter Battle Hounds while spying on the enemy. In sympathy, she went to defeat the Specter Battle Hounds in order to get revenge on his behalf.

After returning, she realized that Tiron was too young to be in such a dangerous occupation and decided to take over scouting duties for him. She snuck into enemy territory herself and discovered the location of their base, which she reported to Edea. However, Edea told her that Kaiser had already fired the cannon on the coordinates that Tiron had provided.

Believing that Tiron had gotten the coordinates incorrectly while running for his life, she decided to fire the cannon using the coordinates that she had found.[5] She then excitedly told Edea that she had fired on the Specter base, but Edea looked at the coordinates and angrily told her that they had nothing to do with the Specter base.

She then ordered her to check with Tiron in order to find out what exactly she had blown up. However, Tiron told her that she had fired in the middle of a secret Specter supply base and hit a powder keg, completely obliterating the base. She reported the news to Edea, who forgave her and then asked her to hunt down the fleeing Specters who were attempting to escape the cannon volley.

Eurenth and the Shadowdealers

After she returned from her mission, Edea told her that with the Specters in disarray, it was the perfect time for training. She then asked Angelic Buster to see Eurenth, whom she described as a great sage of Grandis. After arriving at Eurenth's hut, she was subjected to his leering gaze, which also allowed him to learn her true identity.

He explained that his ability to see the heart of things was what had allowed him to become a great sage. Eskalade was dubious about Eurenth's skills and believed him to be a fraud, but just then, Eurenth revealed that he was able to perceive Eskalade's soul inside the relic. After Angelic Buster introduced them, they began speaking about the old days and bonded over their taste in young women.

Eurenth then agreed to train her to efficiently use Eskalade's full power. He turned her over to his pet, Popo, who began training her concentration by asking her to hunt Dinorams and bring back their claws as proof. After training, Eurenth had Angelic Buster do the laundry while he and Eskalade went over potential redesigns for her outfit, which featured a significantly shorter skirt length.

Having finished her training, Eurenth gave her a D-03 Transmitter and told her to go to the Secret Merchant Meet-Up spot in order to learn from the Shadowdealers. She spoke to Romero, who told her that she would need to stock up on products in order to become a real Shadowdealer. He first had her collect Tamer's Whips from Specter Tamers. Next, he told her to collect Inkwell Coins, though she had no idea how to obtain them.

Suddenly, her D-03 Transmitter rang and Tonero spoke to her, explaining that Romero had been tricking her into helping him and instead suggested that she team up with him in exchange for fair compensation. He then had her collect Dinodon Sharp Fangs and gave her a Merchant Crew Gold Pouch, which he explained was tradable with any Shadowdealer.

After he left, Gallero called her on the transmitter and explained that he had information about Tonero and Romero in exchange for the Gold Pouch that she had. He explained that the two brothers used to be best friends until the gap between their sales records had started widening, causing Romero to begin scheming in order to escape being number two. She noted that they sounded just like Kyle and Velderoth and decided that she would try to fix their relationship.

Gallero suggested that they interrupt Tonero's supply chain in order to help Romero catch up. In order to do so, she defeated Dinodons, thus preventing the sale of their Sharp Fangs. Next, Gallero gave her a Merchant Crew Gold Pouch in order to buy the bad stock that Romero had. On her way, she realized that she had lost the gold pouch and spent some time hunting it down from the nearby monsters.

With the gold, she was able to buy back Romero's bad stock. Hoping that she had helped reconcile their differences, she called Tonero, who accused her of manipulating him for money. She attempted to explain, but he told her that she would only be able to make it up to him in exchange for Dinoram Claws. After bringing Tonero his claws, Romero called her and accused her of teaming with Tonero to ruin him.

After she explained the situation with Gallero, Romero concluded that Gallero was using his feud with Tonero in order to get to the top. After conferring with Tonero, he got back to her and explained that Gallero was using her in order to take the top spot, but this realization had helped him reunite with Tonero. They then asked her to help them defeat Gallero by defeating Specter Miners and stealing their Sparkling Specter Stone before Gallero did.

Next, Tonero asked her to collect an Illusory Gold Pouch from Eurenth and trading it with Gallero. When she went to collect it from Eurenth, however, he demanded that she call him “Your most darling and handsome Eurenth” in exchange for the pouch. After she reluctantly said the words, she traded the pouch with Gallero, who initially laughed at her foolishness, though he soon realized that the money had faded away. For helping reconcile them and taking down Gallero, Tonero made her an honorary member of the Shadowdealers.

Taking Downtown Heliseum

After helping Tonero, Angelic Buster went to see Edea, who told her that preparations for the full-scale assault on the central regions were nearly complete. Edea asked her to help by defeating the Specter Miners and reclaiming the ore that they had stolen. She also helped Maroon stock up on Blue Speeyor Fur Coats and Animal Oil. After returning, Edea told her that Tiron had been abducted by the Specters.

Angelic Buster went to investigate the last place he had been spotted fighting, where she defeated the Specter Battle Hounds in the area. However, she was unable to find any trace of Tiron and returned back to the base, where Edea informed her that Kaiser had rescued him while she had been away.

Edea then asked her to help Maroon get Tiron back into fighting shape, as he still seemed shell-shocked. Maroon asked her to collect Battle Hound Broken Horns so that he could make him a hearty meal. With the horns, Maroon created a rather disgusting meal and asked her to deliver it to Tiron, who graciously ate it in spite of its taste.

Next, she met with Edea, who briefed her on a trap that they intended to lure the enemy into. With Kaiser serving as bait, she asked Angelic Buster to sweep in from behind and trap the Specters in a pincer attack. After Angelic Buster herded them all to the valley, Edea shot a powerful lightning spell that obliterated the Specter army.

Next, Angelic Buster defeated the fleeing Specters as part of the Nova counterattack. After returning back to base, Edea told her that she had found a weakness in the Specters' ranks, explaining that besides a few commanders, most Specters were unintelligent. Because of this, Edea believed they could pressure the Specters into a trap. Soon after, the Nova were able to push forward to Downtown Heliseum.

Guardians of Heliseum

Edea told Angelic Buster that she had sent Kaiser to find Eurenth and gather intelligence on the castle interior, and so Edea asked her to speak with Piston in the meantime. Piston asked her to defeat the Specter Miners and Specter Shieldbearers in the city. Next, he asked her to bring Dinogoth Shoulder Meat, Dinodon Fangs, and Yellow Speeyor Torn Fur Coats for Harpoon and Maroon.

She then decided to visit Eurenth, as she hoped that Kaiser would be there as well. However, Eurenth told her that she had just missed Kaiser, though he gave her the same information about Victor and Treglow that he had provided to Kaiser. In exchange for a written letter with the intelligence about Victor and Treglow, she gave Dinoram Tenderloins to Popo, as Eurenth never fed it, and brought Yellow Speeyor Fur Coats to Eurenth. In exchange, Eurenth explained that Edea, Victor, and Treglow had once been the three Guardians of Heliseum.

Victor was a renowned painter, whose work had a huge influence on the Nova people. He had come from a long line of artists and his father, who was said to have seen works from other dimensions, had named his son ‘Victor' in the hope that the line would continue. However, Victor had eventually fallen in love with a dead woman and had painted his masterpiece in her image.

Learning of a magical canvas that could bring art to reality, he had spent his life attempting to find it. Knowing that Victor would easily fall under his influence if he obtained it, Magnus asked Darmoor to find the canvas. He then used it in order to bait Victor into becoming his servant. However, Darmoor had cursed the canvas so that when Victor painted the woman, it spat out a doll in her form and trapped Victor's soul inside the painting, leaving his body as a puppet for Magnus, after which Victor was forced to paint minions on the cursed canvas that brought them to life.

Eurenth then explained that Treglow was a genius scientist who was particularly adept at chemistry. Though he had become a guardian, Treglow had secretly wanted to make an artificial creature, which was a taboo among Nova scientists. Magnus had pretended to be a merchant and had sent a spy to support Treglow's research and build an amicable relationship with him. Magnus had been able to obtain rare materials from other worlds for Treglow, though no one knew how Magnus had the ability to travel to other worlds.

Though Treglow had been close to finishing the artificial creature, Magnus had sabotaged the experiment just before the invasion of Heliseum, which had caused a huge explosion and had left Treglow mad with grief. The sabotaged experiment had resulted in Treglow creating twisted creatures, and in his madness, he had declared them his greatest success before offering them to Magnus for his army.

Finally, Eurenth explained that the third Guardian, Edea, had a foul temper, though she was perhaps his greatest student. However, he explained that he had expelled her because she had destroyed all his possessions, blown up houses, and forced him to eat her poisoned cookies. Though she seemed to be cool-headed, Eurenth was convinced that she would reveal her true nature one day.

Eurenth then realized while she had been finding fur coats for him that he had already sent Kaiser with the letter. Annoyed, she returned to Edea, who told her that something major was happening at the castle gate. There, she witnessed Kaiser facing off against Velderoth. After their battle, she went to speak with Edea, who told her that it was likely that Velderoth had been made the third Guardian of Heliseum. She also explained that they needed to find a way to break into the castle and asked her to contact the Shadowdealers.

Breaking the Seal

Angelic Buster spoke with Romero, who told her that they were planning to distribute antidotes for Treglow's chemical traps and asked her to collect Specter's Deadly Poison from Guerrilla Specters. Next, she went to help Tonero, who told her that Romero was foolishly trying to create an antidote with only the poison. He explained that they would need a component of the antibody that resisted the poison and asked her to hunt Hard Back Horns from Power Specters, which were immune to Specter poison.

Tonero then began researching the chemical agents and learned that Treglow was using a chemical which couldn't be obtained in Grandis, realizing that it was the reason why no one had been able to make a successful antidote. He suspected that Magnus had brought it back from Maple World. He also discovered that there was a flower called the Coated Hyssop Flower carried by Specters in the central region and asked her to collect some.

On her way there, Piston also asked her to eliminate the Specter Tamers, Specter Miners, and Specter Shieldbearers in the central regions. She brought the flowers to Tonero, who began to use them to make his antidote. He told her that Romero had allegedly succeeded in making his antidote with only the poison and asked her to pay him a visit. Romero asked her to drink the antidote in order to test it out.[6]

Soon after, Edea told her that Kaiser had given them a direct path to launch a counterattack and asked her to defeat the Power Specters and Specter Engineers. Next, she spoke with Tiron, who asked her to intercept some of the Specter messages. She returned with the intercepted messages, though Tiron found that they were encrypted.

They brought the messages to Edea, who managed to decrypt them and learned that the Specters were planning to seize the Central Region and trap Kaiser. To counter them, Edea planned to use Angelic Buster, who seemed to be a wild card to the enemy, and had her attack the Specters from behind in order to scatter their ranks.

Though they managed to succeed, Piston was badly wounded. Angelic Buster visited him in the clinic, where he asked her to perform a show for him with Edea. She returned to Edea and spent three hours persuading her to go on stage together. After Edea agreed, Angelic Buster helped Harpoon and Maroon collect Sparking Specter Stones for decoration and Specter Wooden Shields and Specter Wrenches to build the stage. With the stage and decorations ready, Angelic Buster and Edea gave a largely successful performance.

Meeting Ark

Angelic Buster later met Ark at Eurenth's hut, where he told her how Kaiser had recruited him to join the Heliseum Reclamation HQ. She told him that she was grateful for more allies, as it had taken a lot of people to help breach the city. He asked her who else had helped retake Heliseum, to which she replied that she had only heard of the Maple Alliance, the Hero of Justice, and another person who looked similar to Ark. Realizing that it was likely a Verdant Flora, Ark asked if she knew where they were. She pointed him to the City Center, where he encountered Illium.

Fox Valley

When Angelic Buster first arrives at Fox Point Village, she sees that the villagers have fox ears and tails, and she wonders whether she's stumbled across a hidden village of fox Anima.

Black Heaven

As Angelic Buster was about to board the Lumiere, she ran into Kaiser. After exchanging greetings, he explained that he had gone back to Pantheon in order to see Tear before the mission, but he had found that she was out. He asked Angelic Buster if she had gone to see anyone back home, to which she explained that she had a close friend, though her friend wouldn't recognize her in her current form. Kaiser asked how someone couldn't recognize the same person even with different hair and clothes, claiming that it only happened in comics.

Both she and Eskalade silently sighed at his cluelessness before she changed the subject and asked if he was disappointed that Tear wasn't there. Kaiser told her that it was fine, as he had left something for her at their hideout. She asked if it was a sparkling rock, which got Kaiser's attention, as only he and Tear knew about how he collected shiny rocks for her. He then noticed that Angelic Buster's voice sounded like Tear's, leading him to mistakenly conclude that she and Tear were secretly friends, believing that it explained why they had so much in common, much to Angelic Buster's relief and annoyance.

After Athena Pierce and the player fight their way to the main deck, Athena gives a word of encouragement to the player as they charge into battle, which depends on their class. For Angelic Buster, Athena tells her to show the enemies the power of an idol of the battlefield.

Vanishing Journey

After the player defeats Arma, Kao will speak to the player while being carried through the cave. Kao asks Angelic Buster if she remembers when she had awakened with the power of the Seal Stone. Kao recalls her own life, and how she had shouldered the responsibility to save another dimension instead of her own. Though she hadn't shown it, Kao notes that it must have weighted on herself, and for good reason, as it was someone else's world and not her own.

However, Kao adds that she had taken her responsibilities seriously, and though she wants to say that her heart had been true, she finds that she's not sure anymore. She then wonders whether there's someone better than her who can actually save the world. Kao then supposes that she had lost her worthiness the moment that her faith had wavered.

Yum Yum Island

Upon encountering the Afrien fusion, Angelic Buster will initially mistake the creature for a Nova before realizing that its energy is completely different from normal Nova, as the creature has a dragon face, whereas the Nova have human faces.

Esfera

Upon meeting Melange, Angelic Buster will note that she's never seen anyone of Melange's species before in Grandis.

After seeing the Black Moon in the skies above Esfera, the Adversary notes to themselves that their long struggle against the Black Mage is finally coming to an end. Angelic Buster gets some exclusive dialogue, in which she also notes to herself that defeating the Black Mage will also take her one step closer towards defeating Gerand Darmoor, which will allow Grandis to know peace once more.

After witnessing how Aeona and Tana received their names, Angelic Buster gets some exclusive dialogue, in which she recalls rumors that Aeona had once faced Gerand Darmoor.

After learning about the origin of the Executors from Melange, Angelic Buster gets exclusive dialogue, in which she notes that Melange's explanation is completely new to her, and that she doesn't think that anyone has ever seen the Executors before.

When Melange points out that Aeona had seemed to have wiped out seven races of Grandis against her will, Angelic Buster gets exclusive dialogue, in which she asks Melange if there were more races in the past that they never knew about. When Melange tells the Adversary about how the Transcendents of Grandis had actively shaped their world, he will preclude his explanation by saying that they might already know that if the player is Angelic Buster.

Labyrinth of Suffering

After Cygnus tells Neinheart that she will lead the fleet into Tenebris in the Adversary's place, Angelic Buster gets exclusive dialogue, in which she notes that the Empress is more resolved than ever. Thinking about the upcoming battle, she realizes that if they don't win the war, then Grandis won't be safe either. She then resolves herself to defend Maple World and Grandis.

When the player first meets with Azalin - Hilla disguised as a Night Walker - she tells Angelic Buster how amazing it is that people from another world are working so hard to fight for Maple World. Quietly to herself, however, she snidely remarks how funny it is that Angelic Buster is trying to protect Maple World when she can't even protect her own. When Angelic Buster asks her what she had just said, Azalin tells her that she had merely said that she seems a little distracted.

After the Adversary collapses into despair as a result of Hilla's machinations, they pass out in a void of darkness within their own mind. As their morale and strength threaten to diminish completely, the mysterious divine light speaks to them in the form of someone close to them and provides them motivation to continue.

For Angelic Buster, the voice of Fenelle asks her why she risks her life to save others. Angelic Buster tells her that it's because everyone is that precious to her, to which Fenelle asks her why she cares so much for Maple World, as it's nothing like Grandis. She replies that Maple World is the home where her loved ones live, and that it's a precious place, filled with happy memories.

She explains that the people of Maple World had come to Grandis and had helped save them when they had needed it most, and that it's now their turn to help them. Fenelle asks her whether she remembers what she needs to do next, to which Angelic Buster begins to say hopelessly that everyone is already dead, and that she couldn't protect anyone. She realizes that they'll never be able to return to Maple World, adding that there's nothing that she can do, and that she's completely helpless.

She then asks what else she can do, to which Fenelle tells her to open her eyes and see for herself, explaining that even if Hilla covers her eyes, she can never cover the truth. She asks Angelic Buster to open her eyes, get up, and do what she has to do. Angelic Buster realizes that what she needs to do now is to get back up and keep moving forward, as Maple World cannot fall while Darmoor still remains, for which there's no time to despair. Fenelle proudly notes that she's matured and reminds her that all roads exist inside her heart, and to never forget that. As the voice fades away, Angelic Buster recognizes the voice as belonging to Fenelle.

Limina

When the Adversary faces the Black Mage, he tells them that their path has always been preordained. In response to his words, Angelic Buster vows that she'll transcend the destiny that the Black Mage has created for the sake of everyone who calls Maple World their home.

After the Adversary scatters into Erda after killing the Black Mage, they awaken in the Erda Flow, where the White Mage thanks them for putting an end to the battle and helping him liberate the world from the influence of the Overseers. After the conversation, the Adversary will return back to the real world. As they do, the White Mage will give them a unique title based on their class; the title he gives to Angelic Buster is "Descendent of Dragons".

After the final battle, the Adversary will return back to the Outpost and speak with Neinheart and the other leaders of the Alliance. For Angelic Buster, Neinheart tells her that all of Maple World owes her a debt that can never be repaid. Cygnus adds that the Alliance's allies in Grandis played a major role in bringing peace to Maple World, for which they have her utmost gratitude.

Edea notes that they were fortunate enough that the situation on Grandis was quiet enough for them to come. She adds that there's no telling what will happen next, though this was a nice enough break. Cygnus then promises that Maple World will be there when Grandis needs help, just as Angelic Buster was there for Maple World.

Aftermath

At Eurenth's hut, Angelic Buster ran into Kaiser, who told her that he was just leaving, as he had been looking for Tear and believed that he had just missed her. Upon hearing this, Angelic Buster internally cursed herself for not having come sooner. Kaiser then asked what she was doing at Eurenth's hut. Angelic Buster lied and explained that she was looking for Tear as well, since she hadn't seen her in a while.

Kaiser told her that Tear was hard to track down, and that he worried about her. Angelic Buster told him not to, as Tear was doing great. When Kaiser pointed out that she had just said that she hadn't met Tear in a while, Angelic Buster brushed it off by saying that even two days felt like an eternity for close friends.

Kaiser then decided to head out and asked her to say hello to Tear for him. As he began to leave, Angelic Buster felt bad and called after him, making up a story that Tear had asked her to tell him something in the hopes that it would get him to stay. Thinking of an excuse to keep talking, she told him that Tear had wanted to thank him for the sparkling rock at the Heliseum Hideout.

Kaiser asked if she had said anything else, to which Angelic Buster replied that Tear had been touched by the gesture. He asked if she had seemed happy, but he appeared even more sad after Angelic Buster told him that she was. Kaiser explained that it used to be the case that Tear would start crying after he would give her gifts and added that he loved the way that she smiled when she was teary-eyed with joy. He then told Angelic Buster that she was right about him not having to worry, as it sounded like Tear was doing fine on her own, and that she didn't need him anymore.

As he turned to leave, Angelic Buster called after him again and told him to keep waiting, as Tear might come by again. However, Kaiser told her that he didn't need to, as it was enough for him to know that Tear was okay. After he left, Angelic Buster went to see Eurenth, who noted that she seemed to have a lot on her mind. Angelic Buster told Eurenth that talking with Kaiser had reminded her of how weak she used to be, and how she would always cry over everything.

However, she added that Kaiser hadn't seemed to mind it, and that he had once even given her good advice when she had been really upset, which was that no matter how dark and stormy it might get, the sun always came to chase the clouds away. Eurenth then asked her what she was going to do next, since she had now become a real hero. She replied that she was going to make her own celebratory rainbow at the end of a centuries-long storm in order to boost the people's spirits as Angelic Buster.

Arteria

Before the Adversary leaves to rescue Cygnus, Shinsoo calls to the Adversary and addresses them with a unique title based on their class; the title she gives to Angelic Buster is "You who've come from another world".

Angelic Buster gets exclusive dialogue with Cygnus at the end of her dialogue when she sacrifices herself, in which she tells Angelic Buster that she's too kind for having come to save her people from another world.

Equipment

The Soul Shooter is a dragon-shaped arm cannon that the Angelic Buster uses. It can target multiple enemies and blast them with ease. The Soul Ring is a special ring that holds on to the power of Eskalade, it enables Tear to enter her Angelic Buster Form and use her skills.

Job Advancements

For the second, third, and fourth job advancements, simply reach level 30, 60, and 100, respectively, then accept Eskalade's quest (on the left corner of the screen) to advance.
