Chapter 13: Brionac’s Power

Page 2:

Arago: I’m going to rip you out of Seth’s body you bastard!!

Text: Arago’s counterattack!!

Page 3:

Seth: This is bad…my healing limit has already been exceeded!!

And Brionac is beginning to take form!!

Dammit…this is why I wanted to finish this quickly!!

Arago: Didn’t you say it before yourself?

This power touches life itself, even if the spear of God burns that life in the process,

Grabbing that life directly and pulling it out...

Is another way to use it!

There are two people inside, Seth and…

The soul of the devil!

Ewan!

Just for a little while…

Lend me your power!!

Page 4:

It’s empty..!?

T…there’s only one soul, Seth you…

You aren’t being possessed!?

Seth: It hurts…

It burns….

Sto…p…

Mr….Policema…

Arago: Seth!!

SFX: Cough

Cough

Page 5:

Che

Seth: Hahahaha,

You really are too kind…

Or…should I say that you’re naïve…

That’s right, I’m not being possessed.

I am me.

Arago: Aren't you a demon!!? You can’t be Seth!!!

Seth: I told you from the beginning.

I don’t care what you call me.

Arago: Stop avoiding the question!!!

Page 6:

You’re…

Not even human…

Seth: Then doesn’t that mean you’re not one either? You have the body of a
human that Patchman infused with power!!

And I made a deal with the devil in order to obtain this power!!

The power of oppression and rebellion, that is Orc’s* power!! (See TL note)

Are you surprised?

I understand very well that all I’ve done for the devil is wrong.

But in this world, things aren’t that simple.

The two of us are very like,

And now we’re in a similar situation.

Page 7:

Arago: If you kill me you won’t be able to take Brionac’s power…

And, if I kill you I won’t be able to save you…

Is that what you’re saying?

Police: Is anybody in there!!!

Seth: It looks like the rescue party is here.

We’ll meet again…

Until then, make sure you don’t hand that power over to anyone else.

You’ll be the target of many others…

Arago: Seth! Wait!!

Page 8:

Gah

Why…all of the sudden!!

Let me tell you one thing,

Your brother’s right arm was not the only part Patchman gave to you.

Those parts can’t withstand Brionac’s power, that’s why they’re screaming in pain now.

And just like now, if you carelessly continue to overuse it, the life in them will be
lost.

Unless of course…you want to die…

Isn’t it painful trying to atone for your older brother every day?

…You must remember it every time you look at that scar on your right arm…

Isn’t that why you wear that glove? Not so you don’t harm anyone, but so you
can hide that scar.

Arago: Shut up!!!

Page 9:

Shut the hell up!!

Seth: “O pitiable foolish young man,

O horrible, O dreadful state,

Consider the hot burning dungeon thou art preparing for thyself for all eternity,

To which thou art

Going in such career”* (See TL note)

Page 10:

Rio: Arago!!!

Arago!!!

Arago: I was safely pulled out of the destroyed building’s ruins.

And miraculously I didn’t have any wounds.

But that’s to be expected.

Brionac had probably already finished healing me by then.

Rio: Stop, can’t you quite being a jerk for one second!!

Arago: Eames is being questioned by the police,

And Matt was transported to a hospital, they expect him to make a full recovery.

Page 11:

And because I was taken hostage,

And had to have an entire search party dispatched,

My standing in the CID has sunk once again.

Larry: This is exactly why you’re useless!!

Arago: Uh-huh

Nobody knows where Seth disappeared to,

All they found in the ruins was a collection of William Blake poems,

Larry: You listen to me when I’m talking to you bastard!!

You useless idiot!!

SFX: Sigh

Officer: Rio, let’s go!

Rio: Alright!

Page 12:

Arago: And, Rio ended up saving my ass.

Saved by that “cry baby Rio”….talk about pathetic.

Oh, that reminds me Ewan.

Today I brought some of the firearm division’s coffee you liked

Along with chocolate bars of course.

Shut up, it tastes really good!

It's strange…

We…

Never used to talk like this…

Page 13:

In order to find Patchman...

I left home as soon as we graduated middle school...

And when we finally met again…

Seth: Isn’t it painful trying to atone for your older brother every day...

Thou art preparing for thyself

Arago: When we finally met again, I acted so badly.

There are no demons, only men who act like demons…

At least that’s what Joe says…

Page 14:

This isn’t a “cursed power” after all.

It may be called the spear of God but…

It doesn’t take away life, it’s a power that gives it…

It healed Seth’s wounds.

Ewan: That scar…

Is my-

Arago: If I had known that back then, maybe…

I could have saved you….

Page 15:

It’s no use, complaining about it now isn’t going to do anything.

I need to get back to work soon.

You don’t have to worry, I’ll be just fine in the CID,

Just who do you think that I am?

I’m you’re little brother, aren't I?

This power, this life…

I won’t hand it over to anyone.

That's the important promise...

The older and younger brother made to each other...

Page 16:

Superintendent: This was quite the exploit, assistant inspector Joe Sullivan.

Joe: Not at all, superintendent.

Superintendent: The only reason you feel that way,

Is because it was the man you recommended…

Arago: Where’s Joe…

Old man!

Joe: Arago…

Arago: I’m sorry for causing you trouble the other day!

Page 17:

Just wait!

I’ll definitely be useful next time!!

Ah, don’t worry

I’m completely fine now.

Joe: I’m fine with you rushing in impatiently trying to accomplish something,

I was like that once too.

But running back into that crumbling building the other day…

That’s different…

I refuse to work with people who don’t value their own lives…

Arago: Huh?

Old man, what are you…

Detective: Shannon’s back!!

Page 18:

Arago: I remember now!

Shannon is the guy I'm filling in for at the CID..…

Larry: With this they’ll probably fire you finally.

Joe: Hey Shannon, did you gain some weight while you were hospitalized?

Shanon: Joe! I was expecting you to visit me a little bit.

Arago: Is my time in the CID…

Already over!?

Side Text: Is Arago in trouble, now that he doesn’t have Joe to rely on
anymore!?

Page 6 TL Note: In the previous chapter I called the Seth/Demon Orca, but I found that in William Blake's mythology there is a demon named Orc which makes me think that's the correct spelling of the name.

Page 9 TL Note: He's reciting lines from William Blake's "Ulver a Memorable Fancy" plates 17-20.
EDIT: Sorry about this, in my hurry to try to find this line I got the title of where it's from wrong. It's actually a line from Blake's "Marriage of Heaven and Hell"
