[04:20] Satou
    Hey, Master Sorcerer...
[04:22] Satou
    Or would you rather I call
    you the No Life King?
[04:27] Satou
    What exactly do you want?
[04:29] Zen
    My wish, eh?
[04:32] Zen
    To discover a Hero who
    might be able to kill me.
[04:36] Zen
    In my past life, I met an end at
    the hands of unjust brutality,
[04:40] Zen
    and God saw it fit to
    reincarnate me as an infant.
[04:45] Zen
    Having been reborn with respectable parents,
[04:49] Zen
    and encountering a companion who
    was frankly too good for me...
[04:54] Zen
    For a time I thought all was fine...
[04:57] Zen
    I was foolish enough to think my new
    life would meet a different end.
[05:03] Zen
    And then, a noble who had fallen
    for my wife imprisoned me
[05:07] ---
    and executed me on false pretenses.
[05:10] Zen
    The vision that God bestowed upon me...
[05:15] Zen
    was the heads of every last member of my
    family, strewn about the castle's grounds.
[05:21] Zen
    And beneath the stand, lay the corpse of my wife, like some kind of broken doll.
[05:31] Zen
    I turned the remains of my family,
[05:34] ---
    and any others who met
    their ends there into undead,
[05:38] Zen
    baring my teeth against that family,
[05:41] ---
    who was said to be so resilient
    in armed conflict....
[05:46] Zen
    Having accomplished my revenge,
[05:48] ---
    I sought a means to end
    my life and rejoin my wife...
[05:52] Zen
    But God's blessing would not allow me to.
[05:56] Zen
    Neither Turn Undead or the
    Holy Sword had any effect.
[06:04] Zen
    After all, I had become the
    immortal king of the night.
[06:08] Zen
    God, in his wisdom,
[06:10] ---
    had granted me an undying
    body that needed nothing.
[06:13] Zen
    The power to strike back against
    all unjust displays of power.
[06:17] Zen
    Now, "Hero," I've told you all I must...
[06:21] Zen
    Please strike me down before I become
    a Demon Lord in spirit, as well!
[06:27] (Flashback) Homunclus
    Our Master's desire...
    please make it come true.
[06:46] Zen
    You have my gratitude.
[06:55] Zen
    Ena, my love...
[06:59] Zen
    Liltiena, my better half...
[07:00] Zen
    This time, I'll be joining you...

[08:12] Satou
    You gave up fast!
[08:17] Satou
    There!
[08:19] Mia
    Satou?
[08:20] Satou
    Oh, sorry. It's okay.
[08:23] Satou
    We can still escape.
[08:26] Satou
    It doesn't seem like Zen
    intended on sacrificing Mia.
[08:29] Satou
    There's a method of escape set for her.
[08:34] Satou
    But... every other function
    seems to be blocked out...
[08:38] Satou
    If I stick close to her,
    I should be able to warp out with her...
[08:42] Satou
    But then what happens to
    the homunculi down below?
[08:46] Satou
    And I wouldn't be able to save No. 7,
    who's even further down, then...
[09:00] Satou
    Mia, listen to me.
[09:02] Satou
    There's one more person I need to help.
[09:04] Mia
    Satou...
[09:05] Satou
    It's okay.
    I won't die or anything. I promise.
[09:09] Mia
    It's a promise!
    You have to keep it, no matter what!
[09:13] Satou

[10:50] Dryad
    No problem.

    I can't be like Princess Liltiena,
[20:37] ---
    who abandoned her family
    to be with her beloved,

    adult, and become head of the family.
[20:50] Zena
    I've spoken to him and he's
    agreed to let me do as I wish.
