Sacred 2:Shadow Warrior Combat Arts

As a free creature, he must now make a choice. He can fight for peace in Ancaria and destroy the Great Machine controlling all T-Energy within Ancaria, which would also drain the T-Energy within him and therefore bring a tranquil end to his unholy life. Alternatively, he could seek revenge upon the people who caused his misery and use the Great Machine to attain ultimate power and immortality.
