22Dark elf beyond the portal: face Bellerian
Enter to meet Bellerian. Seeing Khazan alive, the dark elf assumes Ozma's experiment succeeded.
The fight begins immediately.
Bellerian is a necromancer who protects herself with shields. Some spells can be interrupted during casting.
Attack ①:
A simple charged shot with a long wind-up.
Attack ②:
A shield grants her poise while slow skeletal magic passes through you. Avoid the projectiles rather than ignoring them.
Attack ③:
She summons numerous slow ghost flames.
Attack ④:
The skulls above her determine which undead she summons. The reaper-like summon is the most dangerous.
For example, one skull summons a single undead attacker.
Attack ⑤:
An uncommon melee sequence ends in an explosion around her.
Attack ⑥:
Magic circles appear clearly on the floor. Evade their marked areas.
23Resolve the misunderstanding and return to the Crevice with Bellerian
Victory reveals a misunderstanding: Bellerian thought Ozma had revived Khazan to kill her.
She discovered Ozma experimenting on living people and feared she would be next. She escaped while delivering a message; their conversation suggests his treason accusation was deliberate.
Bellerian decides to accompany Khazan for safety and reveals that Ozma seeks to resurrect the dead.
