    MASTER OF DARKNESS AGAINST HIS PUPIL
[01:51] ---
    You are all worthless.
[01:55] ---
    You are vermin to Dark King Vearn.
[01:58] ---
    Surrender will not be allowed.
[02:01] ---
    Die.
[02:02] ---
    Begone from this world,
    along with this entire country!
[02:10] ---
    Make sure your final screams are loud
    enough that King Vearn can hear them!

[02:19] ---
    The Shadow Legion!
[02:20] ---
    Here they come!
[02:21] ---
    Vermin?! Surrender won't be allowed?!
[02:25] ---
    He thinks humans are
    this world's garbage?!
[02:28] ---
    Who does he think he is?! That does it!
[02:31] ---
    Wait! I'm coming, too!
[02:34] ---
    Leona, run when you have the chance!
[02:36] ---
    Be careful out there, you two!
[02:40] ---
    Huh?! Uh, what about me?!
[02:46] ---
    I understand.
[02:48] ---
    Huh?
[02:48] ---
    I will look after those two.
[02:53] ---
    Uh...
[02:54] ---
    Thank you.
[02:57] ---
    Popp, calm down!
    You won't beat him by losing your head!
[03:00] ---
    I know! But he just makes me so mad!
[03:04] ---
    Dammit! I'll show him that humans
    aren't as weak as he thinks!
[03:11] ---
    Popp...
[03:16] ---
    Curse them!
[03:17] ---
    Just sit back!
[03:19] ---
    But you were wounded rescuing me!
[03:37] ---
    What was that?
[03:38] ---
    Are you immortal?!
[03:42] ---
    Big Guy's surrounded!
[03:44] ---
    I'll go help them!
[03:46] ---
    Huh? I thought your Refractor Fist
    only works on living creatures.
[03:50] ---
    Will it work on those things?
[03:54] ---
    For enemies like that...
[03:56] ---
    you use brute force!
[04:14] ---
    Wow. I won't be teasing her any time soon!
[04:19] ---
    Hold on! You're up against me,
    you colossus!
[04:23] ---
    I'll blow your head off!
[04:26] ---
    Boom!
[04:28] ---
    There! That should open a hole in you!
[04:33] ---
    It did, but not by much!
[04:37] ---
    And now a fly.
[04:39] ---
    Miasmas, take him down.
[04:46] ---
    These guys cast magic impair spells!
[04:50] ---
    Fizzle!
[04:55] ---
    Are you kidding me?!
[05:03] ---
    Hurry.
[05:04] ---
    Hurry and finish!
[05:08] ---
    Dai.
[05:09] ---
    Relax yourself.
    Your agitation will affect the sword.
[05:16] ---
    Don't worry.
[05:17] ---
    Once this is complete, you will be able
    to fight any enemy on equal ground.
[05:23] ---
    Trust me. Trust this sword.
[05:26] ---
    And trust Jank's son and the others.
[05:33] ---
    Yes, sir!
[05:34] ---
    I'm counting on you, Popp, Maam,
    and everyone in Papnica!

[05:39] ---
    I'll be there soon!
[05:46] ---
    Sizzle!
[05:51] ---
    You won't beat us so easily!
[05:55] ---
    Hang in there, Miss Maam!
[05:57] ---
    I'm on my way to gallantly help you!
[06:02] ---
    Hold on!
[06:03] ---
    I, Baduck, Papnica's greatest
    Inventor Swordsman, am coming to help!
[06:11] ---
    Who in the world is this?
[06:14] ---
    There's too many.
    I'll have to take them all out with...

[06:18] ---
    Popp, I heard you used Five Finger Flares.
[06:23] ---
    Yeah, uh, kind of.
[06:26] ---
    Never use it again.
[06:27] ---
    Huh? Why?
[06:29] ---
    That spell is practically Forbidden Magic.
[06:32] ---
    Only a creature with no regard
    for its own life can use it.
[06:35] ---
    It'll shorten a normal human's lifespan.
[06:40] ---
    I know it's for your friends,
    but if you keep that sort of thing up...
[06:45] ---
    Mentor! Are you...
[06:48] ---
    Mentor, you didn't...
[06:50] ---
    It won't be long now.
[06:53] ---
    Shortened as it is,
    a hundred years is still too long.
[06:57] ---
    Considering how short Avan and Roka got.
[07:03] ---
    Listen, Popp. You're still young.
[07:07] ---
    Don't worry.
    In time, you'll learn powerful spells.
[07:12] ---
    Do you understand?
[07:15] ---
    What an army!
[07:17] ---
    Don't stop!
    Show an opening and they'll take it!
[07:20] ---
    Help is here!
[07:29] ---
    Look out!
[07:33] ---
    Huh?!
[07:36] ---
    Hmm. That one has spirit.
[07:40] ---
    Everyone...!
[07:42] ---
    Don't worry.
    In time, you'll learn powerful spells.

[07:47] ---
    In time...
[07:49] ---
    In time...
[07:50] ---
    In time is too late!
[07:52] ---
    I need it now, Mentor!
[07:56] ---
    Five Finger Flares!
[08:04] ---
    Holy cow! When did he learn that?!
[08:08] ---
    Popp...!
[08:09] ---
    We need to keep up! Here we go!
[08:11] ---
    Right!
[08:13] ---
    Roar, Vortex Axe!
[08:30] ---
    Everybody! Scatter!
[08:35] ---
    Boom!
[08:53] ---
    H-How's that?! I got them all!
[08:58] ---
    Popp, are you okay?!
[09:00] ---
    Yeah I'm fine. I'm just a little tired.
[09:04] ---
    All that's left is the colossus.
[09:16] ---
    What?!
[09:16] ---
    Did you think it was over, you fools?
[09:21] ---
    My Shadow Legion is an immortal force.
[09:23] ---
    So long as they have Dark Aura,
    they will continue to resurrect!

[09:28] ---
    In Sovereign Rock Castle's right chest,
    the Lung Chamber,

[09:32] ---
    new Armoured Warriors
    are constantly imbued with Dark Aura.

[09:37] ---
    The Lung Chamber?!
[09:38] ---
    That's right. Sovereign Rock Castle
    had such a forbidden chamber.
[09:44] ---
    Then their army...
[09:46] ---
    ...is infinite?!
[09:49] ---
    W-What do we do?!
[09:51] ---
    D-Dammit!
[09:55] ---
    We... We might be done for!
[10:05] ---
    This is...?!
[10:06] ---
    You disappoint me, Popp!
[10:09] ---
    If you're really a Disciple of Avan,
    don't whine over enemies like this!
[10:15] ---
    Just defeat them all! No matter
    how many times they're resurrected!
[10:21] ---
    Hyunckel!
[10:22] ---
    You came!
[10:23] ---
    It was getting too noisy
    to focus on training.
[10:27] ---
    I came to silence them.
[10:30] ---
    Hmph! What a show-off!
[10:32] ---
    Showing up at the perfect moment as usual!
[10:37] ---
    Another strange guy.
[10:40] ---
    Maybe Miss Maam is
    more popular than I imagined.

[10:43] ---
    Hyunckel!
[10:44] ---
    You seem well, Maam.
[10:46] ---
    But we can reminisce
    after we defeat that behemoth.
[10:54] ---
    I see your overconfidence
    hasn't changed, Hyunckel.

[10:58] ---
    Come out of there, Mystvearn!
    You're going to be defeated by me anyways!
[11:04] ---
    Why don't you save me the trouble?!
[11:08] ---
    You don't know...
[11:09] ---
    the power of my Shadow Legion,
[11:12] ---
    and the terror of
    Dark King Vearn's Sovereign Rock Castle.

[11:15] ---
    That's the ultimate armour
    of the Shadow Legion that Flazzard used!
[11:22] ---
    Go forth, Dead Armours.
[11:26] ---
    Three of them...
[11:27] ---
    Stand back.
[11:29] ---
    Huh?! By yourself?!
[11:31] ---
    I thought you'd only begun training!
[11:34] ---
    The essence of the Avan Style
    isn't about the weapon.
[11:37] ---
    The basics of Earth, Sea, and Air,
    once mastered are easily applied.
[11:44] ---
    Babysit Popp for me.
[11:46] ---
    What was that?!
    Are you picking a fight?!
[11:50] ---
    Look out! They're coming!
[11:54] ---
    Earth Strike!
[11:58] ---
    Look out!
[12:01] ---
    He's fast!
[12:06] ---
    That first attack was Earth Strike,
    a powerful attack like Earth Slash.
[12:12] ---
    And this was Avan Style Spear Technique's
    fastest attack, Wave Strike.
[12:19] ---
    It hardly bears mentioning,
    but my strongest attack,
[12:23] ---
    remains just as powerful,
    even with a different weapon!
[12:27] ---
    That stance!
[12:28] ---
    Bloody Scryde!
[12:34] ---
    Amazing, Hyunckel!
[12:36] ---
    He easily wiped out enemies
    we previously struggled against!
[12:41] ---
    Dammit. I hate to admit it,
    but he really is powerful.
[12:44] ---
    He's a genius.
[12:47] ---
    That's Grand Cross!
[12:49] ---
    Enough with the games.
[12:52] ---
    Come out or I blow away the castle's head
    with you in it, Mystvearn!
[13:07] ---
    It stopped!
[13:15] ---
    There you are, Mystvearn!
[13:17] ---
    All of you back off.
[13:19] ---
    Don't be stupid!
    I'm not letting you show off any more!
[13:22] ---
    I said back off!
[13:26] ---
    Hmph! What's his problem?
[13:29] ---
    Forgive him.
[13:31] ---
    Mystvearn taught Hyunckel
    the Dark Technique
[13:34] ---
    back when he was in the Dark Army.
[13:37] ---
    What?!
[13:38] ---
    If Avan is his Master of Light,
    Mystvearn is his Master of Darkness.
[13:44] ---
    This is a battle between
    the Master of Darkness and his pupil.
[13:48] ---
    For Hyunckel,
    it's settling his own dark past.
[13:52] ---
    Looks like you're finally ready
    to fight me, Mystvearn.
[14:01] ---
    BLOODY SCRYDE
[14:06] ---
    DARK PUPPETRY AURA HAND
[14:09] ---
    Let me make one thing clear.
[14:11] ---
    Your pitiful attack
    wouldn't scratch Sovereign Rock Castle.
[14:15] ---
    But I have chosen to reveal myself.
[14:17] ---
    You betrayed the Dark Army,
    and embarrassed me in front of King Vearn.
[14:23] ---
    I intend to kill you by my own hands.
[14:26] ---
    You've become quite the chatterbox.
[14:28] ---
    Even when you trained me,
    you barely said anything.
[14:34] ---
    Don't worry about it.
    I'll make you like you used to be.
[14:39] ---
    Once I kill you, you'll be quiet forever!
[14:45] ---
    Not possible. Not with your strength.
[14:48] ---
    Are you running?!
[15:01] ---
    Check out that flurry of attacks!
[15:03] ---
    Do it!
[15:11] ---
    What was that?! What did he do?!
[15:13] ---
    Such hastily learned spear skills
    can't match my killing blow.
[15:18] ---
    See if they're hastily learned
    for yourself!
[15:23] ---
    Avan Stye Spear Technique, Wave Strike!
[15:26] ---
    Byut Deathstringer!
[15:29] ---
    His finger!
    Rapidly stretching steel claws!

[15:34] ---
    But I can see it!
[15:36] ---
    Fool. This attack can be done
    with any finger.
[15:41] ---
    Th-This is...!
[15:43] ---
    That skill!
[15:45] ---
    Dark Puppetry Aura Hand!
[15:47] ---
    As a skill of darkness,
    I never intended to use it again.
[15:51] ---
    But it'll make a fitting end for you!
[15:53] ---
    Die by the skill you taught me!
[15:57] ---
    Now pierce yourself with your own hand!
[16:05] ---
    Do it!
[16:13] ---
    What...?!
[16:14] ---
    I-Impossible!
[16:19] ---
    Hyunckel!
[16:20] ---
    This can't be!
[16:22] ---
    My... My Dark Puppetry Aura Hand
    is perfect!
[16:26] ---
    You've said yourself
    that it surpassed yours!
[16:30] ---
    I thought so.
[16:32] ---
    You're weaker than when you were
    the Undead Legion Commander.
[16:36] ---
    What?!
[16:38] ---
    Having sided with justice,
    your Dark Aura is not what it was!
[16:46] ---
    What are you...?!
[16:49] ---
    Did your father never give you a toy?
[16:53] ---
    What?!
[16:57] ---
    That's what happens to broken toys.
[17:03] ---
    Hyunckel!
[17:09] ---
    M-Maam?!
[17:11] ---
    Maam!
[17:13] ---
    You idiot! That was too reckless!
[17:15] ---
    Indeed.
[17:19] ---
    H-How did he...?!
[17:20] ---
    I suppose it was more
    pointless than reckless.
[17:25] ---
    To sustain wounds
    for one as useless as him.
[17:29] ---
    Don't be stupid! An adept warrior
    like Hyunckel isn't useless!
[17:33] ---
    He was only adept when he was
    a Dark Swordsman in the Dark Army.
[17:39] ---
    Now he's just a mongrel
    with some skills in Light and Darkness.
[17:44] ---
    How dare you!
    I've never neglected my training!
[17:49] ---
    I learned the Avan Style Spear Technique!
    I may have gotten stronger,
[17:53] ---
    but I wouldn't have become weaker!
[17:55] ---
    The reason is simple.
    Your Dark Aura has diminished in power.
[18:02] ---
    It once overflowed with hate for Avan.
    Hate which I taught you to control.
[18:08] ---
    But the great King Vearn saw through you.
[18:12] ---
    He saw the deeply buried feelings
    you had for Avan.
[18:18] ---
    Deep down, you admired and
    were grateful for Avan's kindness.

[18:24] ---
    Your single-minded obsession with revenge
    made you bury such feelings.

[18:29] ---
    As a result, you possessed
    polar opposite energies.

[18:33] ---
    Your body contained both
    the Aura of Justice and the Dark Aura.

[18:39] ---
    It made you the ultimate warrior.
[18:41] ---
    A body wielding
    the powers of both good and evil.

[18:45] ---
    That was the secret
    to your undying strength.

[18:51] ---
    Having awakened to justice and using
    Aura of Light attacks like Grand Cross,
[18:57] ---
    your power is only half what it was.
[19:00] ---
    You cannot defeat my true Dark Power.
[19:04] ---
    You lie! I won't believe it!
[19:08] ---
    Hyunckel...!
[19:09] ---
    Die, Hyunckel.
[19:11] ---
    I shall dispose of my mistake myself.
[19:15] ---
    You won't harm Hyunckel! I'll fight you!
[19:18] ---
    Maam!
[19:18] ---
    And it's not just Maam!
    Don't forget we're here, too!
[19:24] ---
    That's right!
[19:26] ---
    Even you can't fight all of us at once!
[19:32] ---
    Foolish insects. You can't even see
    you're already caught in my web.
[19:36] ---
    What?!
[19:38] ---
    What is this spider web-like thing?!
[19:42] ---
    Dark Puppetry Aura Decimation Field!
[19:49] ---
    This is Dark Puppetry Aura Hand!
[19:51] ---
    He's caught everyone here at once?!
[19:55] ---
    Unbelievable! Is this the depths
    of Mystvearn's Dark Aura?!

[20:01] ---
    He's unbeatable!
[20:03] ---
    I'll have to resist him with my own
    Dark Power to fight!

[20:08] ---
    I'm the only one who can move
    within the Decimation Field.
[20:12] ---
    What will you do, Hyunckel?
[20:14] ---
    If you don't believe me,
[20:16] ---
    try to stop this flow of Aura
    with your own Dark Power.
[20:23] ---
    Curse you...
[20:25] ---
    Curse you...!
[20:27] ---
    Mystvearn!
[20:28] ---
    Don't, Hyunckel!
[20:30] ---
    Let my wrath burn!
[20:33] ---
    Let my hate and malice towards him boil!
[20:38] ---
    You can't!
[20:39] ---
    The power... The Dark Power!
[20:43] ---
    You won't move a finger
    with darkness like that.
[20:47] ---
    Hate... Hate him!
[20:50] ---
    Just as I once hated Avan!
[20:54] ---
    Don't do it!
[20:59] ---
    Maam?!
[21:01] ---
    We might all die
    if you don't regain your power of evil.
[21:09] ---
    But I can't bear to see
    those ruthless eyes again!
[21:17] ---
    If you're going to fight,
    fight with only the power of good.
[21:22] ---
    I know you can win!
[21:24] ---
    Maam...
[21:27] ---
    I see you've stopped resisting. So be it.
[21:31] ---
    You can die together!
[21:34] ---
    Byut Deathstringer!
[21:43] ---
    W-What?! My Decimation Field?!
[21:46] ---
    I almost made
    the same foolish mistake again!
[21:49] ---
    I...
[21:51] ---
    I choose... the Light of Justice!
[22:04] ---
    Even if you face the devil
    With logic on your side

[22:04] ---
    tatoe akuma ni seiron kazashite
    mukatte mitemo

[22:07] ---
    It may just be a rationalization
[22:07] ---
    sore wa akumade seitouka
    sashite chigai wa naikamo

[22:11] ---
    Even now, even now I waver
[22:11] ---
    ima mo ima mo yureteiru kedo
[22:15] ---
    How far will we go?
[22:15] ---
    bokura wa dokomade yukuno
[22:19] ---
    I heard a voice like an angel's whisper
[22:19] ---
    tenshi no sasayaki nimo nita
    koe ga kikoeta

[22:22] ---
    Maybe it was an imposter's illusion
    It still rang in my ears

[22:22] ---
    hatamata petenshi no mayakashi
    hitokiwa mimi ni hibiiteita

[22:26] ---
    Exposed to love and sorrow
[22:26] ---
    ai ni hiai ni sarasare nagara
[22:30] ---
    On the path strewn with pride
[22:30] ---
    hokori mamire michi no tochu
[22:36] ---
    Fleeting moments of cowardice
[22:36] ---
    kiete wa ukabu touhikou
[22:40] ---
    The SOS I held back
[22:40] ---
    nomikonda SOS
[22:44] ---
    I clenched my trembling fist
[22:44] ---
    furueru te wo nigirishimeta
[22:48] ---
    That single little promise
[22:48] ---
    tatta hitotsu no chiisana yakusoku ga
[22:53] ---
    Those trivial little memories
[22:53] ---
    honno sasaina omoidetachi ga
[22:57] ---
    They're still in my heart
[22:57] ---
    itsumade tattemo kono mune wo
[22:59] ---
    As embers that keep me burning
[22:59] ---
    kogashi tsuzukeru tomoshibi ni naru
[23:04] ---
    A single transparent beam of light
[23:04] ---
    tada hitosuji no toumei na hikari ga
[23:08] ---
    Lights the way before me
[23:08] ---
    me no mae wo terashite yuku
[23:11] ---
    There is little that I can do
[23:11] ---
    boku ni dekiru koto wa ikutsu mo naisa
[23:16] ---
    Just keep on to the future
    I managed to grasp through my faith

[23:16] ---
    shinjinuita saki ni te ni shita mirai wo
    susunde yuke

[23:33] ---
    Sovereign Rock Castle
    advances toward the summit members.

[23:36] ---
    Popp and the others remain held in
    the Dark Puppetry Aura Decimation Field.

[23:39] ---
    Mystvearn's Dark Aura
    overwhelms even Hyunckel's Aura of Light.

[23:44] ---
    All seems lost for Papnica, but Dai
    finally arrives with a new sword in hand.

[23:50] ---
    Will he be able to overcome this peril?
[23:53] ---
    DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,
[23:55] ---
    
"The Strongest Sword"*
[23:57] ---
    The adventure continues!
