Melfice

<h2>Story</h2>
<p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-filler="true"></p><h4>Youth</h4>
<p data-rte-fromparser="true">Melfice grew up with Ryudo on the Isle of Swordsmen, <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Garlan%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Garlan%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BGarlan%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="6197-17829043505f0e301e1930c" href="/wiki/Garlan" title="Garlan" class="mw-redirect">Garlan</a>, and was raised by the Village Chief following the loss of their parents. Training in the way of the sword, Melfice became the best swordsman the village had ever seen, inspiring Ryudo, <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Gatta%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Gatta%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BGatta%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="6197-17829043505f0e301e1930c" href="/wiki/Gatta" title="Gatta">Gatta</a> and the entire village. Eventually he became engaged to the Village Chief's daughter, <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Reena%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Reena%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BReena%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="6197-17829043505f0e301e1930c" href="/wiki/Reena" title="Reena">Reena</a>.
<!-- RTE::{"spaces":0,"type":"LINE_BREAK"} -->One day the sword upon which the town was built began to create earthquakes, and in investigating the disturbance, Reena found a Piece of Valmar sealed near the sword. When she failed to return, Melfice went after her. The young Ryudo, having secretly followed him, then witnessed Melfice murdering Reena in front of him and leaving without explanation. Melfice's fiancé had in fact been possessed by the Horns of Valmar, and when he killed her, Melfice himself became possessed. From that point onwards, he is little more than a host for the Horns of Valmar. Ironically, in seeking more power to destroy evil, Melfice became evil himself.

After the heroes defeat Tio, he attacks the King, leading to his incapacitation. Apparently his strongest attack was the Wailing Soul Slash, which he used on Ryudo to throw him off balance. With Ryudo weakened, Melfice escapes and rushes back to his home village waiting for Ryudo to come after him for the final battle.
