...pledge loyalty to you in light of salvation...?

I am but a dead corpse pierced by the thorn of Quturan.
I have no right to go against the will of the one bearing the thorn of the goddess.
However, to call upon me, the King of the Dead,
into the world of the living is another pact entirely.
Is this the will of the Thornwood Goddess?
Then, to see if you can handle that price,
I shall test you with my people who just entered the world of the dead,
those who shed the blood of countless innocents on this soil.

I shall test you with the sinners who just entered the world of the dead,
those who shed the blood of countless innocents on this soil.

I, Axian, King of the Dead,
received my salvation from you, the queen of thorns.
In light of my salvation, I pledge my loyalty to you.
However, the ultimate decision lies in your hands.
