Hmph. The Church claims that Crests were bestowed upon the chosen heroes of Saint Seiros to fight a mad king. Whether or not that's true, it's clear that all of them are useful only in combat. Renewing the blood would just create more conflict. Not to mention more disgusting games of...auctioning off their children to the most beneficial suitor.

[Felix glances elsewhere.] Something like that. The relic's power...consumes them. Transforms them into demonic beasts. It only takes about a minute. ...there's nothing to do then except end it, before it kills someone.
