Devil Summoner(Akuma Zensho; PSP) | 出身地:不詳 十字架を背負ったゾンビ。その名の意味は「苦痛」あるいは「受難」。 アゴニーは死しても神の国に生まれ変われなかった殉教者のゾンビである。彼自身、自らの神のために命を捨てたつもりであるから、悪魔として生まれ変わった自分の姿に驚く。 確かに彼は様々な苦難を受けてきたが、それは神が求めたものではなかった。彼の正体は、自分の幸福に執着するだけの、あさましい魂だったのである。Translation: Place of origin: Unknown A zombie carrying a cross on his back. The name's meaning is "pain" or "suffering". Agony is the zombie of a martyr who, despite his death, could not be reborn into the Kingdom of God. Since he had thought he had given up his life for his God, he was shocked to see himself reborn as a demon. While it is true he suffered various hardships, this was not what God had desired. Agony's true character was that of a miserable soul obsessed only with his own happiness. |
Trivia
