Easley: Ugh... // Looks like I overdid it...
Demons: Gghhh... // Ggghhh...
Helen: Tch... // I don't know what you are... // ...but it doesn't look like we're gonna be getting along any time soon!
Deneve: Stop! // Helen!

5
Helen: Eh?
Demon: Gghh... // Ggh...

6
Helen: Ngaahhh... // ...aaarghh...!!
Deneve: Why, you...

7
Helen: Aghh... // Unghh!

Helen: ...... // Ngh...
Demon: Gghhh...

11
Deneve: *pant* // *pant* // *pant*
Dietrich: You can move now, but make it slow... // They react to sudden movements.
Deneve: Just what were those things...? // I didn't sense any youki, but... / They were just like... // !

12-13
Demon: Gghhh...

14
Helen: Wha...!!

Deneve: Ridiculous... // Are they immortal...?

20
Easley: Begone.

21
Demons: Ggh... // Ggahh...
Deneve: !
Helen: Aahh...!
Dietrich: Time to run! // This town is done for!

22
Deneve: Do you think... // ...that will be enough to actually destroy them?
Dietrich: No... // I very much doubt it.

23
Dietrich: Just like other Yoma and Awakened, their heads are their weak points... // By which I mean to say, as long as their heads remain protected, they can regenerate at an astounding rate. / As such, they move in such a way as to keep their heads alone out of danger no matter what.
Deneve: Are they really... // ...a form of Awakened, then?
Dietrich: ...... // They are a weapon created by the Organisation... // ...to combat the Abyssal Ones...
Deneve: !!
Helen: Wha...?

24
Easley: Ngh...
Demons: Ggh... // Ggh... // Gghaahh... // Gghaahh... // Gghaahh...

25
Dietrich: We're downwind. // This should be far enough to avoid being found by them.
Deneve: How are your wounds? // Helen.
Helen: My arm's reattached, but I'm having some trouble with this eye... // I might not be able to regenerate it...
Deneve: That was quite the ordeal we just went through. // You can hardly say we are not involved at this point. / I want an explanation of exactly what those things are.

26
Dietrich: ...... // Seven years ago, at the time of the Northern Conflict, the Organisation brought one line of research to completion and began work on another. // For this new research, they used the corpses of eleven Awakened which had appeared at the Organisation... // They created warriors using not the flesh of ordinary Yoma... // ...but the flesh of the Awakened.
Deneve: Wha...?! // Ridiculous... // That's just......!
Dietrich: Indeed. The result could hardly even be referred to as "warriors". // Rather than humans with traits of the monsters, the Organisation began creating monsters in human form.

27
Dietrich: Not the slightest trace of humanity remained within them. // All that remained was a terrible craving for blood and meat. / As such, the Organisation made use of the research they completed seven years ago... // They tore out all sense of self from those creatures, and forced them to crave only a single, particular meat.
Demon: Ggh... // Ggh...
Dietrich: They destroyed their eyes, bound their mouths, and created beasts that would doggedly pursue the prey they had been assigned... // They have been modified so that they release no youki, but at the price of being able to sense youki themselves. // They simply wander the southern lands, following the scent that was pounded into them. // And that single scent that they have been trained to follow is...
Deneve: No...
Dietrich: That's right...

28
Dietrich: A scrap of flesh obtained by one of the Organisation in the south... // A scrap of Easley's flesh.
Demons: Ghaahhh... // Ghaahh... / Ghaahh... // RAAAAGGHHH!! // RAAGHHH!

29
Easley: Tch... // Filthy beasts... // !
Demons: Ghh... // Ghh... / Gghhh...
Dietrich: Those eleven demons, created by the Organisation...

30-31
Dietrich: Abyss Feeders... // That is the name given to them... // ...by the Organisation.
