The magic tool is ready, here you go."

"How do I use this?"

"Just take it to the altar at the ruins and use it."

"Be careful not to take it to the Sprite Sacred Tree area, the properties there are incompatible with the fishman's magic stone, it will be destroyed if taken there."

You assure that you will complete the mission well.

After leaving the camp, take this magic tool to the altar (1201, 188) at the Sprite Sacred Tree area and destroy it.

The cornerstone of the ritual must not be repaired.

Take this magic tool to the altar site for use, and the altar can be repaired."

"Be careful not to take it to the Sprite Sacred Tree area, as it will be incompatible and break."

This is what Nidhogg instructed.

Therefore, take this magic tool to the altar (1201, 188) near the Sprite Sacred Tree and destroy it!

Finally defeated the Fortified Magic Steel Puppet.

That monster didn't seem like it was meant to repair the altar, and the sudden appearance of a powerful monster didn't seem like the appropriate response to destroying magical tools.

Magical tools are not meant for repair, but for destruction, and the target of that destruction is you.

You couldn't tell from Nidell's words and actions that something was wrong, but this situation happened anyway.

After much hesitation and uncertainty about whether there was a backup plan to repair the altar, you decided to go back and find Nidell.

"...You're not dead."

Hearing Nidell's sigh, you can be sure that all of this was indeed a conspiracy against you.

What about the plan to repair the altar's foundation?

"There's no such thing - and this time I'm telling the truth."

"The method for creating that artificial Sprite is unique. Apart from the confinement power that has already been brought into the secret room by the assistant priest, there is no way to create another one."

"I just wanted to get rid of you, who destroyed our plan."

How did you find out?

"There were many details, young man. Many places where, if you think deeply, you'll know something's not right."

"Jace didn't have any guard against his companions, and Milian was only focused on research. I was probably the only one who noticed."

"I'm not your match in a one-on-one fight, and if the ambush fails, this is all I can do. Leave, and don't come back.
