    This show contains scenes that some viewers may
    find disturbing.​ Viewer discretion ​is ​advised.
[01:30] I
    You're sure this is the right way?
[01:33] S
    I am tracking the trolls'
    residual mental energy.
[01:36] S
    I am certain.
[01:38] I
    Residual?
[01:40] G
    Hey, have you picked up any
    other thoughts from them?
[01:44] I
    Nothing yet.
[01:45] I
    I keep calling to them, but they
    seem to be unconscious.
[01:49] I
    But it's all right.
[01:50] I
    As long as they have the silver shirts,
[01:53] I
    the trolls cannot touch them directly.
[02:00] I
    Wait.
[02:04] I
    Leave this to me.
[02:10] A
    Wh-What was that face?
[02:12] A
    Face?!
[02:13] ---
    Boo...
[02:14] I
    It is as I feared.
[02:16] I
    This is the astral realm.
[02:18] I
    And not a good part.
[02:20] ---
    This is Qliphoth, the territory of
    darkness, in the astral realm.
[02:24] ---
    This would normally be impossible.
[02:27] ---
    The astral and physical realms
    shouldn't overlap to this extent.
[02:32] A
    Now that my eyes have adjusted,
    I'm seeing all kinds of weird crap.
[02:35] Gu
    Yeah.
[02:36] I
    This way.
[02:38] I
    The trolls' lair is back here.
[02:41] A
    This place seems even worse.
[02:44] I
    I shall try to call them again.
[02:52] G
    Casca...
[03:00] Gi
    Where are we?
[03:06] Gi
    Casca!
[03:11] S
    Farnese! Casca!
[03:13] F
    Schierke!
[03:15] S
    Good, I finally got through!
[03:17] S
    Are you two all right?
[03:19] S
    Yes.
[03:20] S
    By the way, where are we?
[03:22] S
    The air is so stagnant...
[03:31] G
    What's wrong?
[03:31] S
    Farnese's od was suddenly disrupted!
[03:34] S
    It seems the things around
    her surprised her.
[03:37] S
    Let's hurry!
[03:40] S
    Farnese, calm down.
[03:42] S
    As long as you have the silver
    shirts, you'll be unharmed.
[03:47] F
    You can say that, but...
[03:50] F
    Casca, climb!
[03:51] F
    Hurry!
[04:00] S
    Are you all right?
[04:01] F
    Yes... It was nothing.
[04:06] F
    Nothing at all.
[04:10] F
    I am wielding a blade for
    another's protection...
[04:27] F
    Calm down!
[04:28] F
    Stay where you are.
[04:29] F
    Don't attract their attention!
[04:39] Gi
    Help... Help me...
[04:49] Gi
    No, stop...
[04:55] F
    Um...
[05:03] S
    No!
[05:09] ---
    Oh, no!
[05:09] G
    What's wrong?
[05:10] S
    The trolls found them!
[05:12] S
    We must hurry!
[05:15] S
    Stop.
[05:16] S
    I shall fool their od.
[05:21] S
    Now.
[05:22] P
    Wow.
[05:23] P
    What's going on?
[05:25] S
    Controlling od is part of being a mage.
[05:27] S
    Any mage can do it.
[05:30] P
    Sounds convenient.
[05:31] P
    Even a thief could learn a lot, right?
[05:33] P
    It sounds really useful!
[05:36] G
    Casca!
[05:47] F
    I just want to crouch and
    curl into a ball...
[05:53] F
    No!
[05:54] F
    Stay behind me!
[05:59] F
    But her warmth on my back
    will not permit that!
[06:04] F
    I'm helpless, and this is the first time
[06:07] ---
    I've been entrusted with
    someone weaker than I.
[06:10] F
    Her eyes that know and
    understand nothing
[06:13] F
    refuse to let me be that way!
[06:17] F
    Is this punishment or...
[06:31] G
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[06:32] F
    Guts!
[06:44] G
    You okay?
[06:45] F
    Y-Yes!
[06:47] F
    Where is Serpico?
[06:49] G
    Too hurt to move.
[06:51] G
    He's in no danger of dying.
[06:53] G
    I promised to bring you back.
[06:56] S
    Enoch villagers, we're here to save you!
[06:59] S
    We must leave immediately.
[07:01] S
    Follow me.
[07:03] Gi
    Help us...
[07:03] Gi
    Are we going to be saved?
[07:05] Gi
    Wait, the children are here!
[07:09] A
    Hurry!
[07:11] A
    There are still so many.
[07:13] A
    More than attacked the village!
[07:16] G
    I'll hold them off.
[07:18] G
    You take the villagers and go!
[07:20] S
    No! You cannot handle all these,
[07:23] S
    not without magical reinforcement!
[07:26] S
    You'll die, seriously!
[07:27] G
    Leave it to me!
[07:32] G
    Take care of Casca.
[07:33] C
    Yes.
[07:34] C
    Farnese...
[07:36] ---
    You've really helped me out.
[07:40] C
    I'm grateful.
[07:43] F
    No, I...
[07:46] F
    Let us go.
[07:49] G
    Isidoro...
[07:51] G
    Light the string poking out of it,
[07:53] G
    count to three, and throw
    it at the enemy.
[07:55] G
    It'll explode.
[07:57] G
    You're the rearguard.
[07:58] G
    Protect the women.
[08:00] A
    But I...
[08:01] G
    Get going!
[08:02] G
    There's no time to waste talking.
[08:05] G
    On the battlefield,
[08:06] ---
    with a weapon, even a kid is a
    force to be reckoned with.
[08:09] G
    I can count on you,
    so I'm counting on you.
[08:11] G
    Don't screw it up.
[08:15] A
    Fine! I'll do this!
[08:17] A
    Same to you! Don't die!
[08:20] G
    Now... Let's get started.
[08:34] G
    Look at 'em, crawling out...
[08:37] G
    They're like cockroaches.
[08:39] G
    I've got no choice.
[08:40] G
    Guess I'll go for a hundred
    consecutive kills of men...
[08:43] G
    no, animals once more!
[08:49] G
    You're hungry, right? Come on.
[08:52] G
    Half of you are about to be prey.
[08:56] S
    Hurry, everyone!
[09:00] A
    One... two... three!
[09:05] P
    Nice!
[09:06] P
    You're perfect for this!
[09:13] F
    Hang in there!
[09:14] F
    Come on, stand up!
[09:21] A
    What's wrong?
[09:22] F
    Nothing!
[09:30] F
    Let's go.
[09:52] S
    Stop!
[09:54] A
    What's wrong?
[09:55] S
    We're surrounded.
[09:56] S
    Thirteen in front.
[09:57] S
    Seven behind.
[09:59] A
    You can't distract them like before?
[10:02] S
    Not this many!
[10:04] S
    We cannot erect a shield
    and stop moving.
[10:07] S
    We'll break through!
[10:08] S
    I'll handle the front.
[10:10] S
    Isidoro, you take the rear.
[10:12] A
    Seven at once? Fine!
[10:14] P
    This is your big moment!
[10:16] Gi
    Go! Go!
[10:16] S
    I don't have time to cast a big spell.
[10:19] S
    They're here!
[10:20] S
    What?
[10:21] S
    Something approaches
    at incredible speed!
[10:29] S
    What the hell?!
[10:33] I
    What was that?
[10:34] P
    That's...
[10:47] G
    I guess this is it...
[10:55] G
    This feeling...
[11:06] S
    Everyone, we're almost there!
[11:08] S
    Guts, everyone has
    made it to the exit.
[11:11] S
    You hurry and get out, too.
[11:14] F
    Casca?
[11:18] F
    That's...
[11:20] A
    What's wrong?
[11:21] F
    Well...
[11:26] Gi
    Schierke!
[11:27] A
    Now what?
[11:30] S
    That was...
[11:33] S
    Guts!
[11:35] S
    What just happened?
[11:37] S
    Guts!
[11:53] Gi
    It has been so long since
    I have taken form...
[11:56] Gi
    And my body is composed
    of troll intestines?
[11:59] Gi
    How disgusting.
[12:14] Gi
    I missed you, boy.
[12:16] Gi
    It's been a while.
[12:19] Gi
    No, I have always felt you.
[12:23] Gi
    In the cave, at the tower.
[12:26] Gi
    During countless nights...
[12:29] Gi
    I felt your lamentations.
[12:32] Gi
    Now, let me feel it more...
[12:36] Gi
    Your rage. Your pain.
[12:39] Gi
    Unleash it all!
[12:44] P
    I feel so cold...
[12:46] P
    This is really bad.
[12:48] Gi
    I'm not feeling good, either...
[12:51] P
    I felt an unnatural flow of od
    from the bottom of the grotto.
[12:54] P
    What is happening there?
[12:57] I
    If we don't hurry,
    the trolls will return.
[13:01] S
    I have no choice.
[13:03] S
    I shall now perform the spell
    to seal the cave's entrance.
[13:07] I
    Hey, wait!
[13:08] I
    Guts is still inside!
[13:10] S
    There is no time.
[13:11] S
    If I do not seal this place,
[13:13] S
    the trolls will surely attack Enoch
    and the other villages again.
[13:19] S
    Guts should hear my
    telepathic messages.
[13:22] S
    Let's believe that he will return
    by the time the spell activates.
[13:29] Gi
    Yes... This is it.
[13:31] Gi
    This is what I wanted.
[13:34] Gi
    Your soul is suited to Qliphoth.
[13:39] Gi
    Your hatred...
[13:42] Gi
    Your pain...
[13:44] Gi
    And terror.
[13:49] Gi
    Now, fight me, struggler.
[13:53] Gi
    Pierce me with your
    big, thick sword...
[13:58] Gi
    Is that impossible for you, human?
[14:04] Gi
    Then...
[14:06] Gi
    Will you make a sacrifice,
    just as he did?
[14:14] Gi
    My...
[14:15] Gi
    How rude.
[14:18] Gi
    You shouldn't interrupt a man
    and woman having a tryst.
[14:23] Gi
    Or will you join us, King?
[14:28] Gu
    Slan, Whore Princess
    of the Uterine Sea.
[14:30] Gu
    You were the only one summoned?
[14:33] Gi
    Summoned?
[14:36] Gi
    I came here myself.
[14:39] Gi
    I desired to see this boy.
[14:42] Gi
    You understand, don't you?
[14:45] Gi
    This is what the fifth's
    appearance means.
[14:49] Gi
    The worlds have already
    started to overlap.
[14:52] Gu
    Then, no words are left to say.
[14:56] Gi
    This place might as well be my womb.
[14:59] Gi
    Rage! Violently!
[15:03] Gi
    Bastard spawn of darkness!
[15:11] I
    Listen, they can't enter this circle!
[15:14] I
    So don't go outside!
[15:16] F
    Look!
[15:17] S
    Human tools?
[15:19] F
    Schierke said this shield only
    affects ethereal beings...
[15:24] A
    What?
[15:27] A
    Fine!
[15:31] A
    Come at me, you mad apes!
[15:34] S
    So heavy...
[15:36] S
    Like I'm sinking into mud.
[15:39] Gu
    Using the law of correspondence
    is most effective...
[15:44] Gu
    The power of water spirits in the rain.
[15:47] Gu
    The power of earth spirits
    in the ground.
[15:52] Gu
    But that also brings danger.
[15:55] Gu
    If the power is too great
    for the caster,
[15:58] Gu
    it may swallow her.
[16:03] Gu
    The one which requires the
    most caution is darkness.
[16:07] Gu
    Do not forget...
[16:09] Gu
    When you gaze into the darkness,
    the darkness gazes into you, as well.
[16:21] Gi
    Well, Your Majesty?
[16:23] Gi
    Are you enjoying yourself?
[16:27] Gi
    This is the uterus of darkness.
[16:30] Gi
    The edge of the underworld,
    where accursed souls take form.
[16:35] Gi
    These children will come
    in endless numbers,
[16:37] Gi
    like insects from the earth.
[16:41] Gu
    The time has come.
[16:54] A
    Okay! That does it for those
    with human tools!
[16:57] A
    That was close...
[16:59] A
    I've only got one left.
[17:01] P
    Wanna use this?
[17:05] P
    It's huge!
[17:06] A
    So that's the boss monkey?
[17:08] A
    I'll use this to finish it.
[17:12] A
    Using his own guy as a shield?
[17:14] A
    What do I do?
[17:15] A
    I can't finish him like this.
[17:40] A
    Lower... Even lower!
[17:42] A
    Faster!
[17:54] Gi
    Hot.
[17:57] Gi
    So hot...
[17:58] Gi
    It's so hot!
[18:01] Gi
    The sensation of one's body
    being ripped apart...
[18:04] Gi
    But it isn't enough.
[18:06] Gi
    Not even close to enough!
[18:08] Gi
    More. I need more.
[18:10] Gu
    Stand fast.
[18:12] Gu
    With your sword, it is possible.
[18:15] Gu
    For that sword is forged by the
    malice of thousands of dying souls.
[18:21] Gu
    Pierce her!
[18:34] S
    How wonderful...
[18:36] S
    My womb is being torn open.
[18:39] S
    Within, life and death intermingle.
[18:42] S
    You are the best...
[18:54] G
    D-Did I win?
[18:58] G
    Let us meet again,
[19:00] G
    my beloved boy.
[19:17] A
    I did it! I did it!
[19:19] P
    But you didn't get them all!
[19:23] A
    Oh, shit.
[19:29] Gi
    I am the Lord of Rotting Roots.
[19:32] Gi
    Ruler of withered trees
    and polluted mud.
[19:36] Gi
    In accordance with my contract
    with the little one,
[19:40] Gi
    the trolls who crawl on my body
[19:43] Gi
    will become a breeding
    ground for maggots.
[19:52] Gi
    Rot.
[19:57] A
    Bloodlust!
[20:00] Gi
    Hey, wait!
[20:01] A
    You're going to bury Guts, too!
[20:04] S
    Guts, hurry and get out.
[20:07] G
    What the hell's going on?
[20:10] S
    These are the aftereffects of her
    forced advent and destruction.
[20:15] S
    Within this area, life and death
    have boiled, turning to chaos.
[20:20] S
    If left unchecked, not only will
    this cave be devoured,
[20:24] S
    but the entire area.
[20:26] G
    I've gotta worry about myself...
[20:28] G
    The exit's buried!
[20:30] Gu
    Perhaps it is time to
    test my weapon.
[20:33] Gu
    I had planned to use it to bury
    them within the vortex, but...
[20:41] G
    What are you thinking?
[20:42] G
    I don't have time for weird magic.
[20:51] G
    What's that sword?
[20:52] G
    Wait, I've seen it before.
[20:56] Gu
    Within myself, I forged this blade out
    of Behelits taken from apostles.
[21:02] Gu
    This is the Sword of Actuation.
[21:04] G
    Actuation...
[21:20] G
    That's...
[21:24] G
    It's going to catch us!
[21:27] A
    Shit! It's falling apart!
[21:29] A
    Hey!
[21:30] Gi
    She's working really hard right now!
[21:33] S
    No... I can't hold it back anymore.
[21:38] S
    Schierke!
[21:40] A
    Guts!
[21:43] A
    Guts?
[21:45] G
    What happened?
[21:46] A
    I cleaved space to travel
    through another layer.
[21:50] A
    It is this sword's power.
[21:52] G
    I don't understand a
    damn thing you say.
[21:56] A
    What's going on?!
[21:57] A
    How were you behind us?
[21:58] G
    I owe him another debt.
[22:02] Gi
    Are you okay, Schierke?
[22:04] S
    Yes, I'm fine.
[22:07] S
    That knight...
[22:10] Gu
    Look.
[22:36] S
    Qliphoth has closed?
[22:39] Gu
    Wow... Is this magic, too?
[22:41] S
    No, it wasn't me.
[22:44] S
    But now, we finally...
[23:40] G
    Comrades, huh?
[23:46] G
    I never thought I'd
    ever find them again.
