Plot
[edit]The game takes place in the year S.1209. With the disappearance of the threat that was Almata, Calvard regained its former peace. One day, however, a special op squad of the Central Intelligence Division was found slaughtered in a corner of its capital, Edith. The massacre is investigated by the police department and Bracer Guild as underground organisations use the incident to get into action.
An unexpected visit to the Arkride Solutions Office puts Spriggan Van Arkride to the matter. As Van searches for the culprit behind the accident, Agnès Claudel continues her search for the eighth and last Genesis. The roar of a beast clad in crimson-black and an encounter with a boy and girl looking for something beckons them to the trail of an inescapable fate.
