THE TEAM BATTLE BEGINS
**[01:50] ---**
Nova!
**[01:52] ---**
I guess it was a good lesson.
**[01:56] ---**
Here's a lesson to take with you.
**[01:59] ---**
In this world,
there's always someone stronger.
**[02:03] ---**
Well... goodbye!
**[02:06] ---**
Nova!
**[02:08] ---**
At least die gloriously, you loser!
**[02:12] ---**
No!
**[02:25] ---**
You talk too much.
**[02:27] ---**
But you were right about one thing.
**[02:30] ---**
There's always someone stronger!
**[02:36] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[02:45] ---**
Maam! Big Guy!
**[02:52] ---**
Rushing while carrying three was rough.
**[02:55] ---**
You can rest for a while.
**[02:58] ---**
-Crocodine!
-Right!
**[03:03] ---**
Yow, ow, ow!
**[03:07] ---**
Be a little more gentle, Big Guy.
**[03:11] ---**
Thank you! But be careful!
**[03:14] ---**
They're really strong!
**[03:18] ---**
So all the Disciples of Avan are here.
**[03:21] ---**
I suppose we can't back down anymore.
**[03:25] ---**
Look Dai.
**[03:30] ---**
I impaled his head and he still lives.
**[03:33] ---**
They really are just like Flazzard.
**[03:36] ---**
They're metallic lifeforms
made by Forbidden Magic.
**[03:39] ---**
If we find their cores and use
our Air technique, they can be defeated.
**[03:46] ---**
That's right. We just need
to find their cores!
**[03:49] ---**
Don't bother searching!
**[03:51] ---**
Our cores are right here!
**[03:54] ---**
The same as you humans.
**[03:56] ---**
Is he an idiot?!
He just revealed their weakness!
**[04:00] ---**
Knowing that won't help you can beat us.
**[04:03] ---**
Just like you humans,
it's meaningless if you can't hit it!
**[04:08] ---**
This makes it five against five.
We're evenly matched.
**[04:11] ---**
As a reward for impaling me,
let us show you...
**[04:18] ---**
the true power of the Hadlar Royal Guard!
**[04:21] ---**
Their confidence is almost terrifying.
**[04:24] ---**
So what?!
**[04:26] ---**
After all we've been through,
our teamwork won't lose to those puppets!
**[04:31] ---**
Maam, try to take care of that horse-head.
**[04:35] ---**
Without his spell reflector,
I can blow them all away
**[04:39] ---**
with my Extreme Spell!
**[04:42] ---**
Got it!
**[04:47] ---**
I'll take the big one.
**[04:51] ---**
Dai, which one is their leader?
**[04:53] ---**
Hadlar isn't here, so that queen
should be their leader.
**[04:58] ---**
Got it.
**[05:01] ---**
I'll be taking the armoured one, Albinass.
**[05:05] ---**
You will not, Hym.
You must take the Hero, Dai.
**[05:09] ---**
What? You're telling me
to just ignore what he did to me?
**[05:13] ---**
I won't be happy
until I impale his head, too!
**[05:17] ---**
We are all pieces for Lord Hadlar.
**[05:20] ---**
We live and die all for Lord Hadlar.
**[05:24] ---**
Don't forget that.
**[05:26] ---**
I guess I can't argue with that.
**[05:28] ---**
If you're going to fight, revealing their
strengths will better serve Lord Hadlar.
**[06:39] ---**
Whoa!
**[06:50] ---**
Very well, then!
**[06:54] ---**
You've got to know when to switch gears!
**[06:59] ---**
I'm taking the Hero!
**[07:09] ---**
Frizz!
**[07:16] ---**
*That's it, Hym. Keep it up.*
**[07:22] ---**
Are you my opponent?
**[07:25] ---**
How confident. You could have
pierced my core from behind.
**[07:30] ---**
Are you a woman?
**[07:33] ---**
No need for concern.
**[07:35] ---**
I am merely a piece
bearing the role of queen.
**[07:39] ---**
A piece has no gender.
No need to hold back.
**[07:43] ---**
You're pretty brave.
**[07:44] ---**
But I think you underestimate us.
**[07:48] ---**
That one must be a pawn.
**[07:51] ---**
Did you think pitting the weakest piece
against Dai would actually stop him?
**[07:56] ---**
You're the one underestimating us.
**[07:59] ---**
Excuse me, but I believe you're unfamiliar
with the game of chess.
**[08:05] ---**
In chess, there are no stronger
or weaker pieces.
**[08:09] ---**
There is only a difference in abilities.
**[08:12] ---**
A pawn is not necessarily
weaker than a queen.
**[08:16] ---**
It's all in how you use it.
**[08:18] ---**
Recognize your opponent's abilities
and deploy your pieces accordingly.
**[08:22] ---**
It's the basic strategy in chess
to stop your enemy.
**[08:32] ---**
*Right there!*
**[08:33] ---**
*If I can hit the heart with Air Slash...!*
**[08:38] ---**
Now!
**[08:39] ---**
Avan Style Sword Technique! Air Slash!
**[08:47] ---**
If you're using this knife against me,
you still don't understand my power.
**[08:53] ---**
Or is that thing on your back
just a decoration?
**[08:57] ---**
Well?!
**[08:59] ---**
Dai!
**[09:01] ---**
Hym is unmatched
in close-quarters combat.
**[09:06] ---**
Without your Hero, it seems
you're the ones at a disadvantage.
**[09:27] ---**
*I can't shatter that shield.*
**[09:30] ---**
*I need to stop his movements!*
**[09:32] ---**
For a human to attain such speed
is quite a feat.
**[09:37] ---**
The speed...!
**[09:42] ---**
However...
**[09:46] ---**
no one can eclipse my agility and speed!
**[09:50] ---**
I appears that our piece placement
was better than yours.
**[09:55] ---**
Then I merely need to take out
the queen who commands them!
**[10:01] ---**
*What?!*
**[10:02] ---**
It hardly bears mentioning,
but I, too, am very strong.
**[10:09] ---**
This is bad!
They're controlling the battle!
**[10:13] ---**
I need them grouped together,
otherwise I can't cast my spell.
**[10:18] ---**
What can we do?!
**[10:19] ---**
And where did that pointy guy
who was chasing me go?
**[10:24] ---**
Right here!
**[10:27] ---**
You're wide open!
**[10:29] ---**
You bastard!
**[10:34] ---**
My brand-new staff!
**[10:36] ---**
Over 80% of my body is blades.
**[10:39] ---**
I wouldn't suggest touching me.
**[10:43] ---**
Get back! Don't touch me!
**[10:45] ---**
Popp!
**[10:47] ---**
Come on! You don't have time
to be worried about others!
**[10:53] ---**
Darn it!
**[11:01] ---**
*It won't come out!*
**[11:03] ---**
What a disappointment!
**[11:08] ---**
Don't carry around a weapon
that you can't even use!
**[11:12] ---**
It appears that he hasn't yet
mastered that sword.
**[11:17] ---**
It seems that we need not bother
summoning Lord Hadlar.
**[11:22] ---**
Don't be so sure about that!
**[11:28] ---**
*Impossible! He actually hit me?!*
**[11:31] ---**
Unfortunately, we humans aren't pieces.
**[11:35] ---**
Don't think you can
approach this like a game.
**[11:41] ---**
Sizz!
**[11:45] ---**
Futile, futile!
**[11:57] ---**
Everyone!
**[11:58] ---**
Draw it. This is your last chance.
**[12:04] ---**
*At this rate, everyone is going to die!*
**[12:09] ---**
*If I could draw my sword,
I could defeat them easily!*
**[12:15] ---**
*Darn it! Why won't it come out?!*
**[12:20] ---**
What a joke. You really can't draw it.
**[12:23] ---**
You're not worth Lord Hadlar's time.
**[12:26] ---**
My Heat Knuckle can easily shatter
someone like you.
**[12:34] ---**
Time to finish things.
**[12:37] ---**
Don't worry. I'll take your head
before you feel any pain.
**[12:45] ---**
Nova?!
**[12:48] ---**
Curse you, you feeble weakling!
**[12:52] ---**
Quick! Give me your staff!
**[12:56] ---**
It's over!
**[13:07] ---**
Nova!
**[13:08] ---**
Thank you for saving me, Nova!
**[13:10] ---**
Don't bother thanking me.
**[13:13] ---**
It's a Hero's duty to protect the weak.
**[13:19] ---**
Don't worry. He's just unconscious.
**[13:22] ---**
He exhausted himself
by using up the last of his Aura.
**[13:26] ---**
He fought to the very limit.
He's tougher than I thought.
**[13:33] ---**
To the very limit!
**[13:39] ---**
REFRACTOR FIST
**[13:44] ---**
DARK PUPPETRY AURA HAND
**[13:52] ---**
It's no good!
**[13:53] ---**
All this training and I couldn't
draw my sword once!
**[13:59] ---**
Hyunckel's already mastered
the Dark Armour Spear...
**[14:04] ---**
But I...
**[14:05] ---**
I...
**[14:06] ---**
Don't you get it, Dai?
**[14:09] ---**
It's only natural.
Of course you can't draw it.
**[14:12] ---**
The Sword of Dai can't be unsheathed
to face a retired warrior like me.
**[14:18] ---**
If there's a reason that
you can't draw your sword...
**[14:23] ---**
it's in your inability
to properly read your opponent.
**[14:28] ---**
The issue is in you!
**[14:31] ---**
It's... in me?
**[14:37] ---**
*That's it!*
**[14:38] ---**
*Ever since I sliced that giant
Sovereign Rock Castle,*
**[14:41] ---**
*I've been unconsciously
relying on the sword's power!*
**[14:46] ---**
*I mistook the power I wielded
with the sword as my own!*
**[14:51] ---**
*But...*
**[14:52] ---**
*my sword has its own soul.*
**[14:55] ---**
*It can read my enemies
far better than I can.*
**[15:00] ---**
*I'd forgotten that!*
**[15:03] ---**
*Only when I've fought to the limit
with my own strength,*
**[15:08] ---**
*will my sword lend its power to me!*
**[15:13] ---**
*Nova, seeing you fight so desperately*
**[15:17] ---**
*has made me understand
what Lon Beruk tried to teach me.*
**[15:22] ---**
*I guess we both have
a lot to learn as Heroes.*
**[15:28] ---**
There's still a way!
**[15:29] ---**
What's wrong, Dai?
**[15:31] ---**
If I still can't draw my sword,
**[15:33] ---**
it means there's still a way
to defeat them without it!
**[15:40] ---**
Dammit!
**[15:47] ---**
You and your meddling!
You'll pay for that!
**[15:51] ---**
Full power Draconic Aura!
**[16:02] ---**
Dai, knock Hym this way!
**[16:04] ---**
*That's right! I'm not the only one
who can use Air attacks!*
**[16:08] ---**
Avan Style Spear Technique!
**[16:10] ---**
Air Strike!
**[16:14] ---**
Hym!
**[16:17] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[16:18] ---**
Great! That's one down!
**[16:20] ---**
No.
**[16:28] ---**
You still haven't mastered Air Strike?!
**[16:32] ---**
It's true that it's not an easy skill.
**[16:35] ---**
But the queen spit this out,
**[16:38] ---**
shifting my aim from Hym's core.
**[16:42] ---**
Without this, I could have ended it.
**[16:44] ---**
It's instantly fatal
depending on where you're hit.
**[16:50] ---**
I'd suggest healing it quickly.
**[16:53] ---**
Maam!
**[16:54] ---**
Maam, we need you!
**[17:02] ---**
Why you...!
**[17:03] ---**
Everyone gather for a moment!
**[17:07] ---**
Understood.
**[17:13] ---**
Squelch.
**[17:20] ---**
Damn. I can't lift my arm.
**[17:23] ---**
-Fenbren.
-Sure.
**[17:33] ---**
That makes things easier.
**[17:35] ---**
To be honest, I misjudged them.
**[17:38] ---**
Sorry, Albinass.
**[17:40] ---**
I did, too.
**[17:42] ---**
The Disciples of Avan have grown far more
powerful than what Lord Hadlar described.
**[17:49] ---**
Our abilities surpass theirs.
**[17:53] ---**
But their experience
makes them relentless.
**[17:56] ---**
They can't be underestimated.
**[17:58] ---**
You should be okay, Hyunckel.
**[18:00] ---**
Thanks.
**[18:01] ---**
Hym is going to fight without an arm...
**[18:05] ---**
Where do they get that tenacity?!
**[18:08] ---**
Popp has a point.
**[18:10] ---**
Their solidarity and sense of purpose
are terrifyingly strong.
**[18:14] ---**
But Dai, while I missed,
you were on the right track.
**[18:18] ---**
You still have your friends.
**[18:20] ---**
Don't try to do everything yourself.
**[18:25] ---**
I made my own discovery.
**[18:27] ---**
Crocodine!
**[18:28] ---**
Individually, their abilities
are far beyond our own.
**[18:33] ---**
We can't win fighting power
with power or speed with speed.
**[18:38] ---**
We should fight their strengths
with different strengths.
**[18:42] ---**
I get it.
Matching their strengths is no good.
**[18:47] ---**
Okay! Let's switch things up!
**[18:49] ---**
Maam, confuse the big one with your speed.
**[18:54] ---**
And Big Guy, use your strength
to overpower the knight.
**[18:58] ---**
Dai and Hyunckel, I need you to take
the other three at once.
**[19:02] ---**
Keep together as a team!
**[19:06] ---**
I'm going to prepare my Medroa!
**[19:09] ---**
Once the knight's mirror is disabled,
try to gather them together!
**[19:14] ---**
I'll be firing a huge spell,
so get some distance!
**[19:18] ---**
Got it?!
**[19:18] ---**
Right!
**[19:19] ---**
Here we go then!
**[19:21] ---**
Beast King Redemption Blast!
**[19:53] ---**
Okay!
**[20:04] ---**
Pathetic!
**[20:05] ---**
You can't beat me
with an Aura Flow this weak!
**[20:10] ---**
Then how about the other whirlpool?!
**[20:13] ---**
What?!
**[20:14] ---**
I risked my life
in the Valge Whirlpool for this!
**[20:17] ---**
My new attack will tear you apart!
**[20:29] ---**
A second twister with a reverse spin?!
**[20:42] ---**
Beast King Indomitable Blast!
**[20:54] ---**
Sigma!
**[20:58] ---**
Now! Everybody scatter!
**[21:03] ---**
A spell won't work!
**[21:05] ---**
No!
**[21:06] ---**
Medroa!
**[21:20] ---**
*W-What power!*
**[21:22] ---**
*That's worth bragging about.*
**[21:25] ---**
*Well done learning such a spell.*
**[21:28] ---**
*That's amazing, Popp!*
**[21:35] ---**
Popp!
**[21:37] ---**
That was amazing!
**[21:38] ---**
So that's what all that training was for!
**[21:42] ---**
I did it!
**[21:43] ---**
I definitely hit them this time.
**[21:46] ---**
One good hit with that...
**[21:58] ---**
and we win!
**[22:04] ---**
*Even if you face the devil
With logic on your side*

*Meanwhile, Chiu infiltrates
the Field of Death with his companions.*

**[23:48] ---**
