Combat Dialogue

Combat Entrance It’s gonna hurt if this stabs ya… Wanna try? Oooh, you’re so scary, I almost dropped my weapon! Can you even stand still? You aren’t quakin’ to your bones, are ya? Just take one hit, it’ll feel so nice. For me, of course! Now how will I smack that guy… Victory Cry C’mon~ We’ve yet to face the real enemies, right? This can’t be it~ Books aren’t really fun to stomp or anything… Don’t be ridiculous. I wasn’t even getting started, and you’re done already? Maybe I’ll tear these bookcases apart to vent my feelings? I wouldn’t have come here if I knew this is all you’d offer. Death I can’t… lose in a place like this…! Haha! Ha… That got me good. I hate… getting hurt. Damn it… They were… strong. It’s my fault for being careless. But, but… On Ally Death Hm? Did someone just die? Too bad! I knew you’d die like that one day~ Oh really. That’s all it took for you to go down…? Real impressive, buddy. They didn’t have anything to do with me, so why bother? Nice. That’s one less obstacle to get in my way! On Kill Haha! You guys should’ve seen how shaky this one got just now. Maybe I could’ve let you land a hit or two as consolation? Shoulda dodged that, buddy~ Welp, no point regretting when you’re dead. What’re you, a water balloon… I only slightly poked you, palio? Lame~ This is boring. Got anyone better?

Combat Dialogue

Combat Entrance Let’s get this over with, aight? No point dragging on. I could easily dodge all your attacks with my hands in pockets man. Why don’t you just hand over the goods before we mess you up real bad? Victory Cry Huh, so it was this easy to make a fortune and straighten out my life? Don’t you ever tell anyone that you’re guardians of cool treasures or anything. I’m honestly embarrassed for you. Death Can’t believe I’ve lost against these suckers… Dammit… They were predicting my moves… On Ally Death That’s what you get for standing around and taking all those hits to the face. Idiot. You stood still and took it all. Well, shoot… Guess you never really know how things will go, huh. On Kill I’d have crushed your head to bits if we weren’t in this weird place. Tsk, and I got a brand new weapon, too… You’re too weak to test it on. C’mon, try to hold out for longer so I can actually enjoy this!!!

Combat Dialogue

Combat Entrance Sigh… My body’s still feeling sore. A shame I can’t fight in my best condition. Careful there. This is gonna hurt bad if it hits you in the wrong spot. We’re fully prepared for this. Victory Cry Well, money is one thing, but it’s just a bit too anticlimatic to turn into books right after death. I was expecting to have some small fun with your bodies, like tearing them apart and hanging ‘em on a hook. …That’s a bit unfortunate. Death It’s… not over yet… I can’t fall to the likes of you, I’m better than that…! They got me good… This can’t be happening…! On Ally Death A fitting end for a rash idiot like you. I’ll avenge your death. Should have been a bit more careful. On Kill Why’d you bother holding out if you were gonna get wrecked anyway. What? Come on, you can’t die so soon, I didn’t even get started with the real fun. Weaklings, weaklings everywhere.

Combat Dialogue

Combat Entrance Let’s see, are you guys also not human? Maybe I’ll find out once I bust up every single one of you? I’m gonna crush you all, so get ready! Get ready. I am gonna win this for sure. Victory Cry Haha, this is way too easy! We barely did anything. This is our chance to earn the favor of our boss. Time to earn some riches~ Death What the heck… I was too careless. Lame, lame, lame lame! These fucks… are strong… Dammit, I thought I could make it through this…! On Ally Death It’s not all too pleasing to see my colleague die. And you boasted so much about how you’re the strongest. …That’s what ya get. You know how lame it is to be a burden till the end, yeah? On Kill I wanna slash you some more, but… You’re already a mess, so I’ll hafta move on. Whoever stands in my way is getting wrecked, that’s all. How does it feel to be on the receiving end of my thrilling blade?
