**[00:06] Nar**
* It appeared as though humanity*
* would be destroyed by the demons.*
**[00:14] Nar**
*But a single mage saved them all.*
**[00:26] Nar**
* He was called the Wizard King,*
* and he became a legend.*
***SIGN*** Breaking the Seal
**[02:04] Finral**
N-N-N-N-N-N-Ne...
**[02:08] Nero**
Did you not hear me?
**[02:10] Finral**
S-S-S-S-S....
**[02:12] Finral**
Sp?!
**[02:14] Mage A**
The bird just spoke?
**[02:15] Mage B**
It must be a spirit, and a noble spirit at that!
**[02:18] Finral**
Nero?!
**[02:19] Finral**
You spoke just now,
didn't you? No, that can't be!
**[02:22] Finral**
This is a dream, right? I'm still asleep, right?
**[02:25] Nero**
Wipe off that dumb look and get a move on.
Hurry up with the spatial portal.
**[02:29] Finral**
What?!
**[02:30] Finral**
This bird just started talking out
of nowhere, and now it won't shut up!
**[02:34] Nero**
At this rate,
**[02:35] Nero**
humans who have elves within them
might not be able to return to normal.
**[02:39] Finral**
What?
**[02:40] Nero**
Even worse...
**[02:42] Nero**
Anyway, hurry up and take
me to the demon's bones.
**[02:46] Finral**
Nero, you're...
**[02:59] Devil**
"Return."
**[03:05] Devil**
That was a splendid cut.
**[03:07] Devil**
"Storm of Blades."
**[03:12] Yami**
Anything goes with you, doesn't it?!
**[03:15] Yami**
*This black creepy guy's magic...*
**[03:19] Devil**
"Earth Shield."
**[03:19] Yami**
* Not only can he make the things*
* he says manifest as magic,*
**[03:20] Devil**
"Wave of Flame."
**[03:22] Devil**
"Iron Spear."
**[03:24] Yami**
* he can summon, move, and order*
* objects around, as well.*
**[03:29] Yami**
* This "Storm of Blades" is basically*
* both of those things at once.*
**[03:34] Yami**
*This is completely nuts!*
**[03:37] Yami**
* He was able to wither*
* Charlotte's briars, heal himself,*
**[03:41] Yami**
* and keep doing whatever the hell*
* he wants against the living,*
**[03:44] Yami**
* but considering he hasn't*
* straight-up ordered us to "Die,"*
**[03:48] Yami**
*I'm gonna guess he has some limits.*
**[03:51] Yami**
* Ugh, damn it. Just thinking about*
* all this is a pain in the ass.*
**[03:54] Yami**
Charlotte!
**[03:56] Charlotte**
I'm Charla!
**[04:01] Charlotte**
*Back then...*
**[04:03] (Flashback) Devil**
"Wither."
**[04:04] Charlotte**
* Did some of my briars not wither*
* because they were out of his range?*
**[04:13] Charlotte**
* I'm assuming that was part of it, but it*
* comes down to how much magic he has.*
**[04:17] Charlotte**
* Is the effect of the amount of magic*
* he puts into his words so great*
**[04:21] Charlotte**
*that it overwhelms our magic?*
**[04:28] Yami**
*So just barely fending off his attacks while*
**[04:30] Yami**
* we keep trying to figure*
* him out is all we can do?*
**[04:33] Yami**
*Tch!*
**[04:36] Yami**
* The one thing I've noticed is he can't*
* stop my dark magic with his words.*
**[04:42] Yami**
*I knew it. He dodged it rather than stopping it.*
**[04:44] Yami**
*I mean, I need my spells to hit him, but...*
**[04:55] Yami**
Not bad!
**[05:00] Yami**
I'm amazed you can move around so
much when you're basically asleep.
**[05:04] Charlotte**
* He's right. Licht isn't able to*
* manifest his full powers right now.*
**[05:08] Charlotte**
* This fight seems evenly balanced*
* at the moment, but at this rate...*
**[05:11] Devil**
"Storm of Blades."
**[05:18] Yami**
Damn it! There's no end to this!
**[05:21] Yami**
* This ain't good. That guy's magic*
* was too overpowered to begin with!*

**[05:29] Yami**
*At this rate, my magic's not gonna hold out.*
**[05:33] Yami**
*And he doesn't seem fazed by any of this.*
**[05:39] Devil**
I quite enjoy your company.
**[05:41] Devil**
You're so pleasantly annoying
that I'm actually enjoying this.
**[05:44] Devil**
To think that having my own body
and being able to play with magic
**[05:47] Devil**
would make my heart dance with such delight!
**[05:50] Devil**
I thank you.
**[05:52] Devil**
You've also helped me obtain
the five-leaf grimoire.
**[05:56] Devil**
Now I shall use it.
**[05:58] Devil**
The magic of my words...
**[06:03] Devil**
Word Soul Magic:
**[06:05] Devil**
┘░╣╩┐┤.
**[06:11] Yami**
This nasty magic is... He's still...
**[06:18] Devil**
I do apologize, but I'm a completely
different being than the rest of you.
**[06:25] Devil**
From a different dimension, in fact.
**[06:33] Yami**
*What the hell is this spell?*
**[06:36] Charlotte**
Is this from the other world?
**[06:45] Yami**
Tch!
**[06:52] Yami**
*It's like sprinkling water on a hot stone.*
**[07:00] Yami**
*Yeah... That's not good.*
**[07:07] Patlicht**
What is this...
**[07:09] Yuno**
...magic?
**[07:17] Finral**
Traveling this far all at once is exhausting.
**[07:19] Nero**
Hurry up.
**[07:21] Finral**
H-Hey! Wait up!
**[07:25] Nero**
Take out all the magic stones that
are embedded in this monument.
**[07:30] Finral**
*Magic stones...*
**[07:32] Finral**
*All the magic stones that were taken by the*
**[07:35] Finral**
*Eye of the Midnight Sun are here.*
**[07:37] Finral**
You're sure I can take them out?
**[07:39] Nero**
Hurry it up.
**[07:41] Nero**
Now...
**[07:42] Nero**
Put all those magic stones into this statue.
**[07:45] Finral**
The statue of the first Wizard King...
**[07:49] Finral**
I guess they go here.
**[07:57] Finral**
All that's left are the eyes.
**[08:00] Finral**
This is the last one.
**[08:06] Finral**
Is this... magic?
**[08:13] Yami**
Watch out!
**[08:17] Charlotte**
This is...
**[08:18] Charlotte**
Our magic is... melting!
**[08:21] Charlotte**
Curses!
**[08:22] Yami**
Dark Cloaked
**[08:24] Yami**
Black Blade Blunt Slash!
**[08:26] Charlotte**
You...
**[08:33] Yami**
*It leeched magic and life energy out of me?!*
**[08:38] Devil**
I guess you won't be able
to hold your sword anymore.
**[08:41] Devil**
It's a spell that devours life.
**[08:44] Devil**
I merely opened the lid on it,
but it can no longer be stopped.
**[08:49] Devil**
Not until it devours humans, elves...
and everything else.
**[08:57] Yami**
*Shit. This is seriously bad news.*
**[09:04] Patlicht**
That evil magic is heading our way!
**[09:08] Yuno**
*What in the world is that?!*
**[09:09] Patlicht**
*That's the devil's magic!*
**[09:13] Patlicht**
Light Magic: Light Swords of Conviction!
**[09:16] Yuno**
Wind Magic: Tornado Fang!
**[09:23] yuno**
It swallowed up our spells?
**[09:26] Patlicht**
Don't let it touch you! Run!
**[09:33] Asta**
There!
**[09:36] Mimosa**
Asta!
**[09:38] Yuno**
Asta!
**[09:45] Asta**
I thought I was a goner!
**[09:48] Mimosa**
Asta!
**[09:51] Patlicht**
*So anti-magic works against that, too?*
**[09:54] Patlicht**
*And he's completely unharmed?*
**[09:57] Yuno**
I guess it figured there's
no point in swallowing up
**[09:59] Yuno**
something that has no magic.
**[10:00] Patlicht**
Unbelievable.
**[10:02] Asta**
Hey! Why do you guys sound creeped out?!
**[10:05] Mimosa**
This is...
**[10:07] Mimosa**
As we thought, there's even more of
this eerie magic flowing above us.
**[10:12] Mimosa**
At this rate, the ones in the
other rooms are in danger, too.
**[10:17] Nozel**
* The one with the most mobility,*
* who can get those*
**[10:20] Nozel**
*who have turned into elves out of here...*
**[10:22] Nozel**
Saving the kingdom, and all
of us escaping here in one piece,
**[10:25] Nozel**
will mean our victory.
**[10:27] Nozel**
I'll go assist the ones below.
**[10:30] Nozel**
Come with me, Vermillion.
**[10:31] Mimosa**
Yes, sir.
**[10:32] Nozel**
You appear to understand
the enemy and what's going on
**[10:35] Nozel**
up above better than I do.
**[10:36] Nozel**
If you supplement Asta's anti-magic
with Yuno's spirit magic
**[10:40] Nozel**
and that elf's light magic,
**[10:43] Nozel**
you should make it to the battlefield.
**[10:47] Nozel**
Go.
**[10:49] Asta**
Got it!
**[11:00] Nero**
Now that your seal has been broken,
that means my seal will also...
**[11:06] Finral**
Nero?
**[11:08] Nero**
What a pathetic state you're in.
If only my spell was more complete...
**[11:13] Lumiere**
No, the only reason I was able
to return is because of you.
**[11:16] Finral**
Huh?
**[11:17] Secré**
Welcome back, my prince.
***SIGN*** First Wizard King
Lumiere Silvamillion Clover
**[11:25] Lumiere**
I'm sorry I kept you waiting.
**[11:29] Finral**
The first Wizard King...
**[11:31] Finral**
The legendary statue had life within it.
**[11:34] Finral**
And you're—Huh?!
**[11:36] Finral**
N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-Nero, is that you?!
***SIGN*** Secré Swallowtail
**[11:44] Finral**
I had no idea you were such a cute girl!
**[11:46] Finral**
If you'd told me earlier, I would've
totally asked you out on a date!
**[11:49] Finral**
Why don't we go on a date right n—
**[11:51] Finral**
I'm really sorry.
**[11:54] Lumiere**
I sense an otherworldly magic
from the Shadow Palace.
**[11:58] Lumiere**
I see. He must've obtained a body.
**[12:03] Finral**
Why are you two...
**[12:05] Lumiere**
Just as I was about to die, she used her
confinement magic to seal me away.
**[12:10] Lumiere**
I was asleep this whole time.
**[12:15] Lumiere**
And with the help of the magic stones,
I managed to awaken, at least partially.
**[12:21] Finral**
*Such calm yet powerful mana...*
**[12:24] Finral**
*It's far more powerful than even the elves'...*
**[12:27] Lumiere**
She's...
**[12:28] Secré**
For 500 years, I was just what
you people called "Nero."
**[12:32] Finral**
Huh? Why are you holding my ha—
**[12:43] Secré**
Sealing Magic: Inverse Release.
**[12:49] Finral**
Huh?
**[12:50] Lumiere**
Thank you, Magic Knight of the present.
**[12:53] Lumiere**
Wait there for your friends' return.
**[13:01] Lumiere**
I'm sorry you had to wait 500 years.
**[13:04] Secré**
It's fine.
**[13:08] Secré**
* We can't let what happened*
* before ever happen again.*
***SIGN*** 500 Years Ago
***SIGN*** Clover Castle
**[13:23] Secré**
* Despite being a noble,*
* my magic was only able to*
**[13:27] Secré**
* open and close things,*
* and was considered useless.*
**[13:30] Secré**
*So I ended up a servant...*
**[13:32] Secré**
*to an eccentric prince*
**[13:33] Secré**
* whose magic and talent were*
* amazing even among royalty.*
**[13:39] Secré**
*I wonder what kind of awful snob he'll be.*
**[13:42] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Hey there! You must be Secré.
**[13:46] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Sorry, I'm researching ancient
magic right now, so I can't get up.
**[13:51] (Flashback) Lumiere**
By the way, what kind of magic do you have?
**[13:54] Secré**
*But he was nothing like I had imagined.*
**[13:57] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Sealing magic?!
**[13:59] (Flashback) Lumiere**
What's that? I've never heard of it before!
**[14:01] (Flashback) Lumiere**
That's so unusual! How amazing!
**[14:04] (Flashback) Lumiere**
How should we have you use it?
Just thinking about it is exciting, isn't it?
**[14:09] (Flashback) Secré**
Magic that opens and closes locks is vulgar.
**[14:12] (Flashback) Lumiere**
That's not true! Don't seal off your potential!
**[14:16] (Flashback) Secré**
Please don't make a face like you
just said something clever.
**[14:19] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Aw...
**[14:20] (Flashback) Secré**
Also, your clothes are weird.
**[14:22] (Flashback) Lumiere**
What?! But I made these
clothes myself! Aren't they great?
**[14:26] (Flashback) Secré**
More importantly...
**[14:27] (Flashback) Lumiere**
What's more important than that?
**[14:29] (Flashback) Secré**
What should I help you with?
**[14:32] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Well... Right now, I'm creating magical tools.
**[14:37] (Flashback) Secré**
Magical tools?
**[14:38] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Yup. So that people who aren't
blessed with magic or by their
**[14:42] (Flashback) Lumiere**
magical attribute can
use all kinds of spells.
**[14:44] (Flashback) Lumiere**
That way, I think we can
make our society more equal.
**[14:48] (Flashback) Secré**
But that just sounds like a silly dream.
**[14:51] (Flashback) Lumiere**
They're tools to help me with that.
**[14:52] (Flashback) Lumiere**
I think I'll call them magic items.
**[14:55] (Flashback) Lumiere**
I'm sure your magic will help me with this!
**[14:58] (Flashback) Lumiere**
For example, can you seal magic into objects?
**[15:01] (Flashback) Secré**
Um... Yes.
**[15:03] (Flashback) Lumiere**
You can?! That's amazing!
**[15:07] Secré**
*I helped the prince make magical tools.*
**[15:15] Secré**
*He really was nothing like I'd imagined.*
**[15:19] Secré**
* There were members of his family*
* who didn't like his progressive ideas.*
**[15:27] Secré**
* But he didn't let that bother him,*
* and he never compromised his ideals.*
**[15:32] Secré**
*He was a strong, honest person.*
**[15:41] Secré**
*Recently he and his sister, Lady Tetia,*
**[15:44] Secré**
*have been sneaking out quite frequently.*
**[15:48] Secré**
*What could they be doing here?*
**[15:55] Secré**
*The other race... The ones blessed with mana!*
**[15:58] Secré**
*Phenomenal magic and skill...*
**[16:00] Secré**
*The same thoughts and ideals...*
**[16:02] Secré**
*The same four-leaf grimoires...*
**[16:05] Secré**
*The leader of the elves, Licht,*
**[16:07] Secré**
* was the first peer and friend*
* that the prince had ever had.*
**[16:13] (Flashback) Lumiere**
We can come to understand each other.
**[16:14] (Flashback) Lumiere**
You elves have truly amazing mana.
**[16:18] (Flashback) Lumiere**
By combining that with the magic-item
technology that we humans created,
**[16:21] (Flashback) Lumiere**
we can make this land
safer and more prosperous.
**[16:25] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Let us live together, hand in hand.
**[16:32] Secré**
*Magic items that stored and distributed magic,*
**[16:35] Secré**
* and the elves' magic stones, which linked*
* to another world and amplified spells...*
**[16:40] Secré**
* Through his work with the elves,*
* spells and magic-item technology*
**[16:43] Secré**
* that would help not only the humans,*
* but both races to live in peace as equals*
**[16:49] Secré**
*were slowly becoming a reality.*
**[16:52] Secré**
*The prince and Licht were best friends.*
**[16:54] Secré**
*And they were supposed to become family.*
**[16:59] (Flashback) Lumiere**
I'm really sorry, but I'm probably
going to be late to your wedding.
**[17:04] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Sadly, Father has summoned
me to the palace that day.
**[17:09] (Flashback) Lumiere**
I know that he and the others
are against this marriage now,
**[17:12] (Flashback) Lumiere**
but don't worry.
**[17:13] (Flashback) Lumiere**
I'm sure they'll understand someday
and give you their blessings.
**[17:16] (Flashback) Tetia**
I know.
**[17:17] (Flashback) Tetia**
I'm sure Licht and the others
will be eager to see you.
**[17:25] Secré**
*But it's likely that even then,*
**[17:29] Secré**
* he was already manipulating*
* the whole situation.*
**[17:32] Lumiere**
*I wonder why Father summoned me today.*
**[17:34] Lumiere**
* We didn't mention the wedding*
* to anyone, so is it a coincidence?*
**[17:38] Lumiere**
*I need to hurry to the ceremony.*
**[17:41] Lumiere**
*No one's here?*
**[17:43] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Father, where are you?
**[17:46] (Flashback) Devil**
"Bind."
**[17:52] (Flashback) Lumiere**
What is this?
**[17:56] (Flashback) Minister**
Good day, my prince.
**[17:58] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Minister?!
**[18:00] Lumiere**
* No... The evil mana that's coming*
* from him doesn't belong to him.*
**[18:04] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Who are you?!
**[18:07] (Flashback) Devil**
Who am I?
**[18:08] (Flashback) Devil**
Despair, hatred,
**[18:11] (Flashback) Devil**
disloyalty, or death...
**[18:14] (Flashback) Devil**
You may call me whatever you wish.
**[18:17] Lumiere**
*A soul with evil mana...*
**[18:19] Lumiere**
* I've read about this being*
* from another world! A devil?*
**[18:24] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Where are my father and the others?
**[18:25] (Flashback) Devil**
Who knows?
**[18:27] (Flashback) Devil**
Maybe they've gone to destroy the other race
**[18:30] (Flashback) Devil**
that's trying to harm the princess and,
indeed, the entire kingdom.
**[18:34] (Flashback) Devil**
I'm sure the elves will be quite surprised
**[18:37] (Flashback) Devil**
when the humans' violence and greed
**[18:39] (Flashback) Devil**
fall upon the wedding ceremony
that only you should know about.
**[18:44] (Flashback) Lumiere**
What?!
**[18:50] (Flashback) Devil**
Ah, this is what I'd expect from
the strongest in the kingdom.
**[18:52] (Flashback) Devil**
That's some terrifying magic.
**[18:54] (Flashback) Devil**
Though I was prepared for that,
**[18:57] (Flashback) Devil**
so even you won't be able to escape
from those bonds so easily.
**[19:00] (Flashback) Devil**
Once I obtain my body and grimoire,
I'll come play with you again.
**[19:06] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Wait!
**[19:09] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Someone! Isn't there anyone here?
**[19:12] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Anyone!
**[19:13] (Flashback) Secré**
Prince!
**[19:14] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Secré!
**[19:15] (Flashback) Secré**
What's going on, Your Highness?
**[19:17] (Flashback) Lumiere**
There's a devil plotting something!
**[19:19] (Flashback) Secré**
So it wasn't you, was it, Your Highness?
**[19:22] (Flashback) Secré**
That magic item we made is gone!
**[19:27] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Secré! Break these restraints!
**[19:29] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Your sealing magic can do it!
**[19:32] (Flashback) Secré**
Right!
**[19:33] (Flashback) Secré**
Sealing Magic: Inverse Release!
**[19:42] Lumiere**
*Faster... I need to go faster!*
**[19:45] Lumiere**
*Tetia, Licht, everyone...*
**[19:49] Lumiere**
*That's the magic item we made!*
**[20:14] Secré**
*A five-leaf grimoire...*
**[20:17] (Flashback) Licht**
I knew it...
**[20:18] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Licht...
**[20:19] (Flashback) Licht**
I knew it wasn't you.
**[20:26] Devil**
*He reclaimed his heart?*
**[20:29] (Flashback) Licht**
I'm sorry I doubted you for even a second.
**[20:33] (Flashback) Licht**
Please forgive me.
**[20:35] (Flashback) Devil**
Such a futile struggle!
Now, relinquish your body to me.
**[20:41] (Flashback) Licht**
You are the future we believed in.
**[20:44] (Flashback) Licht**
You are hope.
**[20:47] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Licht...
**[20:49] (Flashback) Licht**
Right now, I am filled with
tremendous negative mana.
**[20:54] (Flashback) Licht**
I don't have full control anymore.
**[20:56] (Flashback) Licht**
At this rate, that devil will...
**[20:59] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Don't...
**[21:01] (Flashback) Licht**
To prevent my magic and body from falling
into the hands of something wicked...
**[21:06] (Flashback) Licht**
I've pulled even more negative
magic into myself.
**[21:09] (Flashback) Devil**
Magic stones... He used the highest
form of forbidden magic on his own body?
**[21:13] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Don't... Don't do this, Licht!
**[21:16] (Flashback) Licht**
I'm sorry. This is my last selfish request.
**[21:20] (Flashback) Licht**
You're the only one who can grant it.
**[21:30] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Don't do this, Licht!
**[21:54] Licht**
*Lumiere...*
**[21:59] Licht**
*Please kill me!*
**[23:40] Secré**
This was all planned by that devil...
**[23:41] Secré**
My prince, let us finish this.
**[23:43] Secré**
We're going to save this world!
