The Lands of Fluctuating Darkness 昏き揺らぎの地 (Japan)

Lore

Legend has it...

That during the era of the Great War, the time where chaos and suffering ruled the hearts of people. Instruments of Power were bestowed to the people by the Guardian of Balance, the Dragon Rin Lian. And among the artifacts, the "Staff of Fluctuation" was said to possess the power of restoration...

When the existence of the artifacts were known to the Dark Angels, a fierce battle took place which led to the theft of the "Staff of Fluctuation". Measures were taken to retrieve the staff but none had proved fruitful. Out of desperation, the Light Angels combined their strengths and sealed the "Staff of Fluctuation", along with the Dark Angel possesing it...

Comments	Contains Vulgar, "1-Shot Fest" pretty much sums it all up. Not all of his attacks are instakills, however, his Magic attacks pretty much overwhelms everyone's defences. (note* don't underestimate this guy's Magic Attacks even if you're doing it in story mode, you wont know what you're messing with) Just get in and try to get a feel of how his attack works. Once you've reduced his HP to a certain %, you will not be able to re-enter the battle. So make sure you have decent priest in your party who have a decent investment into reviving spells.
