[00:05] Flora
    It's finally done.
[00:07] Flora
    That ultimately became
    a far greater task...
[00:12] Flora
    Doesn't it make you nostalgic?
[00:15] Flora
    I didn't foresee having to bring
    this back out into the world.
[00:19] Skele
    You must know how dangerous this is.
[00:24] Flora
    I do.
[00:26] Flora
    I have been its guardian
    for all this time.
[00:29] Flora
    But that may be
[00:32] Flora
    all the more reason why those
    children need it on their journey.
[00:36] Skele
    As misfortune would have it.
[00:38] Flora
    Oh, I don't believe so.
[00:41] Flora
    Men may appear to make the same
    mistakes, again and again,
[00:45] Flora
    but fate is not a flat circle.
[00:49] Flora
    It is a spiral.
[00:51] Flora
    They will not necessarily choose
    the same path you and I did.
[00:59] Flora
    Here they come.
[01:06] Flora
    For them to tear through
    my barrier so easily,
[01:09] Flora
    my powers must be
    considerably weakened.
[01:17] Flora
    You will fight for me?
[01:19] Flora
    Either way, my fate is sealed.
[01:22] Skele
    Even more reason for
    you to go in peace.
[01:26] F
    Thank you.
[01:28] F
    I will not forget your
    devotion, old friend.
[01:43] F
    I would have liked to have seen
[01:46] F
    your bashful smile with my own
    eyes, one last time.
SIGN    The Berserker Armor
[03:22] Sch
    Huh?
[03:24] Ser
    Is something wrong?
[03:25] Sch
    No... For an instant, I thought I
    sensed my mistress's thoughts.
[03:30] Iva
    Maybe you're just itching
    to hear Flora's praise!
[03:34] Iva
    I bet the little witch
    Schierke's heroism
[03:37] Iva
    routing the demons will be
    a new legend around here.
[03:40] Sch
    I don't think so...
[03:44] Sch
    All I managed to do was
    to seal the trolls' lair.
[03:49] Sch
    I called forth a great power,
    but could not fully control it,
[03:53] Sch
    resulting in unnecessary destruction.
[03:56] Sch
    I am still inexperienced.
[04:01] F
    I was amazed!
[04:03] Sch
    R-Right...
[04:05] Iva
    Hey, you have a wild
    look in your eyes.
[04:08] I
    I think I've figured it out!
[04:10] Sch
    Truthfully, I don't really know if
    these people are my destiny.
[04:18] Sch
    But...
[04:22] F
    Guts?!
[04:26] I
    Wh-What's wrong?
[04:27] I
    Didn't your wound heal
    back in the church?
[04:32] Sch
    This is...
[04:34] I
    See, it's all closed up.
[04:36] Sch
    No, this is a grievous wound.
[04:38] F
    Eh?
[04:40] Sch
    His physical wound has healed,
[04:43] Sch
    but it hasn't healed on his astral body.
[04:47] Sch
    If we do nothing, he will weaken,
[04:49] Sch
    and his physical wound
    will reopen, as well.
[04:52] F
    Oh, no!
[04:54] F
    We can save him, right?
[04:55] Sch
    If we hurry to my mistress and
    use her medicine, yes.
[04:59] Sch
    Help me, everyone.
[05:05] G
    It's no big deal...
[05:08] G
    I just felt faint for a second.
[05:13] Ser
    I can lend my shoulder.
[05:15] Ser
    Grudgingly.
[05:16] G
    I'm fine.
[05:18] Sch
    Wounds inflicted on the astral
    body are wounds on the soul.
[05:22] Sch
    The pain should be acute
    enough to cause trauma.
[05:25] Sch
    He should not even be conscious.
[05:29] Sch
    Guts, what happened back there,
    after we had escaped?
[05:35] Sch
    That wound wasn't caused by a troll.
[05:39] Sch
    Even the protective charm
    I cast has been negated.
[05:46] G
    I landed a good blow with this
[05:49] G
    on a monster that pretends
    to be an angel.
[05:55] Sch
    What? How is that possible?
[05:58] Sch
    How can a mortal fight such
    a high-ranking astral being?
[06:03] Sch
    That sword...
[06:05] Sch
    Perhaps with its specialized power
[06:08] Sch
    against astral beings, developed with
    long use against them.
[06:12] F
    Do not let yourself be beguiled
    by hidden miracles.
[06:16] F
    Open your eyes and see the
    truth before you, as well.
[06:22] F
    He is still alive.
[06:29] Sch
    What is this flow of od?
[06:32] Sch
    From the forest...
[06:34] Sch
    From the mansion!
[06:36] Sch
    The forest barrier has fallen!
[06:41] F
    Casca?
[06:43] G
    Farnese and Casca, you wait here!
[06:45] I
    What's going on?
[06:46] Ser
    Troll stragglers?
[06:48] G
    Really bad things, far worse than
    trolls, are at the mansion.
[06:53] G
    The old lady's in trouble.
[06:56] G
    It's them.
[07:08] Sch
    M-Mistress...
[07:11] Sch
    Mistress!
[07:16] G
    You guys, stop her!
[07:18] I
    G-Got it!
[07:26] G
    There's no doubt about it...
[07:28] G
    Those are...
[07:31] G
    Apostles.
[07:41] Demon
    Where'd you come from?
[07:50] Demon
    What?
[07:51] Demon
    We have a human among us.
[07:54] Demon
    Are you with the witch?
[07:56] Demon
    That hurt!
[07:59] Demon
    Look at you, swinging that huge sword,
[08:03] Demon
    getting all wobbly!
[08:15] G
    You... Why are you here?
[08:19] Skele
    I have deep ties with the
    mistress of this mansion.
[08:23] G
    Ties...
[08:25] G
    I see.
[08:26] G
    That's why he was at the trolls' lair.
[08:29] Demon
    Who are you?
[08:31] Skele
    My name is not for the likes
    of you mere Apostles.
[08:36] Skele
    Let us simply say that I
    oppose the God Hand.
[08:40] Demon
    What the hell?!
[08:42] Demon
    Wait, I remember him.
[08:46] Demon
    You're the knight who appeared
    at our master's rebirth!
[08:53] G
    Master?
[08:56] Demon
    I know you, too.
[08:59] Demon
    You are our master's sacrifice.
[09:01] Demon
    You're one of the two who survived!
[09:05] G
    It can't be.
[09:07] Zodd
    Who would have thought I'd
    run into both of you here.
[09:13] Zodd
    I suppose it is fate.
[09:15] G
    Zodd...
[09:18] G
    Why are you here?
[09:20] G
    Wait, is the one you
    call your master...
[09:23] Zodd
    It is no secret.
[09:25] Zodd
    There is but one that inhuman things
    acknowledge as their master.
[09:32] Grun
    Sir Zodd...
[09:35] Grun
    Allow me, Grunbeld,
    to deal with this one.
[09:41] Zodd
    Very well.
[09:43] Grun
    Much obliged.
[09:45] Grun
    I've heard much of you.
[09:48] Grun
    Though a mere mortal,
[09:49] Grun
    you were strong enough
    to survive the eclipse.
[09:53] Grun
    The witch may be formidable,
[09:56] Grun
    but attacking an old woman
    concealed in a remote forest,
[09:59] Grun
    with these numbers,
[10:02] Grun
    hardly seems noble for a warrior.
[10:07] Grun
    That said, I pressed to
    assist in this task
[10:12] Grun
    as an opportunity to display
    my loyalty to the hawk.
[10:17] Grun
    And now, I can face a
    warrior such as you.
[10:22] Grun
    It was worth forcing myself to come.
[10:26] G
    Griffith's orders?
[10:28] G
    Why care about her?
[10:30] G
    I, Grunbeld, as a member of
    the Band of the Hawk,
[10:35] G
    challenge the Black Swordsman to a duel.
[10:38] G
    What?
[10:41] Grun
    Let us begin.
[10:43] G
    What did he say just now?
[10:47] G
    Band of the Hawk...?!
[10:50] Sch
    Mistress!
[10:57] Sch
    Isidoro?
[10:59] I
    What're you doing, witch girl?!
[11:01] I
    Where's your magic?
[11:02] Sch
    But...
[11:03] Sch
    I'm so distraught, I can't
    use my spells well...
[11:08] Sch
    Mistress...
[11:13] Ser
    You two, get out of here now!
[11:15] I
    Serpico!
[11:16] I
    Can't that feather duster do
    something about the flames?
[11:20] Ser
    Ridiculous.
[11:21] Ser
    It would only fan the flames!
[11:23] Sch
    Mistress, where are you?
[11:26] Sch
    Please respond!
[11:28] Flora
    Schierke...
[11:30] Sch
    Mistress!
[11:32] Flora
    Listen well, my beloved disciple.
[11:36] Flora
    Take that to the Black Swordsman.
[11:40] Sch
    You don't mean...
[11:42] Sch
    What happened?
[11:43] Sch
    Why is this happening?
[11:45] F
    Hurry.
[11:46] F
    A most terrible foe draws near.
[11:49] F
    If you cannot get that to him,
    the swordsman will...
[11:52] Sch
    But your life is in danger, Mistress!
[11:55] I
    Hey, what's going on?
[11:57] Flora
    You knew this would happen.
[11:59] Flora
    My time has come.
[12:02] Sch
    But...
[12:04] Sch
    But this...
[12:05] Sch
    Not like this! It's too cruel!
[12:08] Sch
    It should be peaceful.
[12:09] Sch
    Not like this, enveloped in flames!
[12:12] F
    I have garnered enough
    karma to merit this end.
[12:16] F
    Being a mage, you know better
    than anyone how sinful it is
[12:23] F
    for a mortal to live so long,
    in defiance of time.
[12:27] Sch
    But!
[12:29] Sch
    But I'll be so lonely...
[12:35] Sch
    I'll never take naps in the sun
    with my head on your lap,
[12:38] Sch
    or have tea with the golems again.
[12:41] Sch
    Everything will be gone...
[12:44] Sch
    Everything will go up in flames!
[12:48] Flora
    Schierke...
[13:05] G
    What a blow.
[13:08] G
    Though he's still in human form,
[13:12] G
    he's stronger than most Apostles.
[13:14] G
    How dare you use the name
    "Band of the Hawk"?!
[13:21] Grun
    Oh?
[13:31] G
    Shit... That cracked several ribs.
[13:36] Grun
    That's an impressive sword.
[13:38] Grun
    Even after taking two blows from
    my hammer, it hasn't snapped.
[13:43] Grun
    But I am less impressed
    by your swordsmanship.
[13:48] Grun
    You're just being thrown about,
    without any resistance!
[13:52] G
    Easy for you to say.
[13:54] G
    Without any armor, I'm...
[13:59] Demon
    The fire dragon sure likes his games.
[14:02] Demon
    Let's finish the job on our end.
[14:05] Demon
    Take the witch's head—
[14:08] Skele
    That won't happen.
[14:11] Demon
    You!
[14:14] Zodd
    Step aside.
[14:16] Zodd
    He is mine.
[14:19] Demon
    I gotta get him.
[14:21] Demon
    He killed one of us!
[14:23] Zodd
    That's an order.
[14:25] Zodd
    The rest of you, get the witch's head.
[14:29] Zodd
    Get to it!
[14:34] Zodd
    You, leaving the midst of battle,
    to go after some woman?
[14:38] Zodd
    How unlike you.
[14:40] Skele
    I remember that fighting
    was everything to you,
[14:45] Skele
    undying one.
[14:47] Zodd
    Don't get me wrong.
[14:49] Zodd
    I am the only one who
    can keep you at bay.
[14:53] Zodd
    That is all there is to it.
[14:56] Skele
    So things are a little different
    than usual for both of us.
[15:03] Demon
    Oh?
[15:05] Demon
    Kids?
[15:07] Demon
    The witch's disciple?
[15:08] I
    Wh-What the hell?
[15:10] I
    More monsters, just when
    we've dealt with trolls?
[15:13] P
    He's an Apostle.
[15:16] Demon
    Hey, if you want to live,
[15:18] Demon
    tell us where the witch is.
[15:20] Demon
    Though I guess you'll
    all die in the fire.
[15:28] Sch
    Curse you!
[15:35] Sch
    This way.
[15:36] Ser
    We must get out of here.
[15:38] Ser
    It may seem cruel,
[15:39] Ser
    but if we try to rescue Flora,
    we'll only die, as well!
[15:41] Sch
    We're going to the treasure room.
[15:43] Sch
    Something is there that
    I must get to Guts!
[15:47] Sch
    I understand, Mistress.
[15:50] Sch
    If that is your wish.
[15:53] Sch
    I do not know if he is my destiny.
[15:59] Sch
    But as a mage, I am the only
    one who can save him.
[16:05] Sch
    Only I, disciple of the witch Flora,
    of the forest of the spirit tree.
[16:11] Sch
    Here.
[16:13] I
    Is the protective charm what
    you need to get to him?
[16:16] Sch
    Yes, but that isn't all there is to it.
[16:19] Sch
    My mistress cast the charm
    on a certain relic.
[16:22] Sch
    It is a very dangerous
    and powerful relic.
[16:31] Grun
    Weak!
[16:34] Grun
    Are you truly the Black
    Swordsman they speak of?
[16:39] Grun
    The one who's struck down
    countless Apostles
[16:42] Grun
    and equaled Zodd the Immortal?
[16:45] Grun
    Our fated foe,
[16:46] Grun
    a weakling like you?
[16:49] Grun
    Answer me!
[16:54] Grun
    Sir Zodd is fortunate to have met
[16:56] Grun
    such a formidable opponent.
[17:00] Grun
    To a warrior, the battlefield
    is sacred ground.
[17:05] Grun
    Facing death amidst carnage
    is a warrior's desire.
[17:09] Grun
    But you are unworthy of a warrior's
    honor being wagered upon you.
[17:16] G
    Why is a monster acting like a warrior?
[17:20] G
    You're just full of yourself.
[17:24] Grun
    You are unworthy of a warrior's
    death by my hammer.
[17:30] Grun
    Die in pieces!
[17:42] G
    These guys...
[17:49] Grun
    Damn golems!
[17:51] G
    Schierke?
[17:53] G
    Is the old lady all right?
[17:58] G
    You're saying to go inside?
[18:01] G
    What's in there?
[18:06] G
    I see.
[18:25] Ser
    This is terrible.
[18:27] Ser
    Like Schierke said, his wounds
    have reopened...
[18:31] Iva
    We have no way to deal with them.
[18:33] I
    What now?
[18:34] I
    In his state, he couldn't do
    anything, even with armor!
[18:36] I
    If we stay too long, the fire
    will spread here, too!
[18:40] Sch
    True...
[18:41] Sch
    If he dons the armor in this state,
    his life will be in danger.
[18:45] Sch
    But...
[18:47] Demon
    Witch!
[18:49] Demon
    Where are you, witch?
[18:50] I
    Shit, it's them!
[18:52] P
    I think it's time to get out of here.
[18:54] Iva
    Stay as long as you'd like.
[18:56] Sch
    I must do something with my magic.
[18:59] Sch
    It's my responsibility for
    endangering them.
[19:09] Demon
    Huh? What's this?
[19:10] I
    Are you sure this'll do anything?
[19:11] Demon
    I-I'm stunned! 
    This grid's stunning me!
[19:13] I
    What will having him in
    this stupid armor do?
[19:15] Ser
    We have to trust Schierke!
[19:18] I
    Damn it! Not my problem!
[19:28] I
    Here it comes!
[19:35] Grun
    Enough trickery...
[19:37] Grun
    Where have you hidden,
    Black Swordsman?
[19:39] Grun
    How far will you go to
    disgrace yourself?
[19:44] Grun
    What?
[19:50] Demon
    Help!
[19:51] Demon
    It hurts...
[19:53] Demon
    I ate him...
[19:54] Demon
    He should be dead...
[20:14] Grun
    That's...
[20:32] I
    W-Wow...
[20:39] I
    H-He's more than just strong!
[20:41] I
    What's going on?
[20:43] I
    He couldn't even stand earlier.
[20:46] I
    That was mean...
[20:47] I
    With something like that,
[20:49] I
    you should have given
    it to him for the trolls.
[20:52] Sch
    It isn't so simple a thing.
[20:56] Grun
    Is it really him?
[20:58] Grun
    His movements are completely different.
[21:02] Grun
    But that sword is indeed his.
[21:05] Zodd
    That's...
[21:10] Zodd
    How familiar, my fated foe.
[21:13] Zodd
    You would have him tread
    the same path as you?
[21:16] Zodd
    The same demented, demonic path?
[21:20] G
    What's going on with this armor?
[21:25] G
    The moment I put it on,
    all the pain went away.
[21:32] G
    Rather,
[21:33] G
    I don't care about pain anymore.
[21:37] G
    What's more important than pain
[21:42] G
    is this impulse that's rising within me.
[21:47] G
    I feel something violent,
    boiling up from within.
[21:51] Darkness
    Let go...
[21:53] G
    I see.
[21:54] Darkness
    Let go.
[21:55] G
    This...
[21:56] Darkness
    Let go of everything.
[21:58] G
    This is my...
[22:00] Darkness
    Let go.
[22:01] Darkness
    Let go of everything.
[22:05] Darkness
    Let go!
[22:12] I
    The armor's changing!
