Another trial down, and another three floors and trial to make our way through.
We're back into Floors of Remembrance. First is Mount Hobs.
Second is the Sylph Cave, complete with damage tiles. Yes, Malboros are here. However, they are no longer annoying and die easily. We find Dragon Claws for Yang here, which aren't as good as the Godhand, but do deal extra damage to Dragons and are an OK replacement for Cat Claws. It also, strangely, boosts his Spirit.
Third is the Giant of Babil. The Mouth of the Giant, mind you, so it's quite likely the shortest floor so far.
Onto the trial, then. Theme of Love is playing, so it's definitely Rosa's. In we go!
We're in a town. Then, what must be Lunar Asura appears, although the game doesn't want to tell us that.
???: You must bear... ...the weight of your crimes... Taste my justice!
Lunar Asura unleashes some Orbs of Wrecking Shit Up on the town.
Rosa: No... This is awful...!
We head for one person.
Rosa: Cure!
Thank heavens... The sky suddenly got dark... Then we were attacked by spheres of light... Most of the townspeople were fatally wounded!
Cecil: Rosa... you must help everyone!
Rosa: Yes, I must!
???: You think you can save everyone? Sinful humans... Today you shall be judged!
We have a limited amount of time to heal 13 people. There are also five monsters around here, which if we have to fight, we'll certainly run out of time. Once we've run out of time or people to save...
Rosa: Oh no!
The orbs send us to the entrance to the town.
Lunar Asura: A white mage... You must show me... Whether humans are worthy of their existence!
Cecil: On your guard, everyone!
Unlike the original Asura, Reflect on Lunar Asura is a bad idea. Reflect on yourself, however, is good, as she flings -ga level elemental spells around. After that, we start doing as much damage to her as possible. She can't hold out forever, especially when all her spells hit her, so she falls. We get Summon Book LA afterwards.
Lunar Asura: You... Humans...
She dies.
Cecil: What was that about?
Exactly what I was thinking.
Rosa: I think it wanted... to teach us something...
Cecil: Rosa?
Rosa: ...Anyway, I'm just glad the townspeople are safe.
An old man approaches us.
You did more than save many, many lives. You have taught everyone a lesson. We should be helping each other out, not fighting against each other.
Whatever helps you guys, we weren't given any context to this.
Maybe that was what the light was trying to tell us... This is a token of our appreciation.
For saving everyone, we get the White Ring.
Cecil: Rosa...
Rosa: Thank you, everyone. I will continue to use my powers to help those in need. You can touch so many people with the powers you have. Please remember that!
Cecil: Well, we have to get going...
Some random lady shows up.
Kindness is what true strength is really about. I'll never forget this!
Some random guy shows up.
Come back anytime, okay?
Fine, now let us leave. I hate Timed Missions.
The White Ring changes Pray to Miracle. In addition to a greatly increased success rate and amount heals, it may also randomly cast Esuna on the party. Very nice.
Now that we've done five trials, we can't do the rest for now. We have to leave and get a different party. We'll get to that part next time.
