Overview

The Wailers are demons infesting St. Martial with powerful sonic attacks. Johnny Sonata made a pact with these demons: selling his soul for fame and influence. Now, the terms have reached their time of fulfillment and the Wailers have come to collect Johnny's life. After becomming a star singer, Johnny had mystic obelisks erected around the Golden Giza to ward the demons from the entire island. They are intent on collecting their due, however, and have become very violent in their efforts to capture their end of the deal.
