    THE AVAN STYLE ULTIMATE TECHNIQUE
[02:06] ---
    What's wrong, Lord Hadlar?!
[02:13] ---
    My conversion to Superior Being
    was a rapid one.
[02:18] ---
    It put a strain on me.
[02:22] ---
    Should I continue to fight,
    I won't last long.
[02:27] ---
    Is beating Dai and his friends worth it?
[02:30] ---
    It is!
[02:32] ---
    I'd gladly pay with my life!
[02:35] ---
    I want to know!
[02:37] ---
    I want to know how powerful I can be
    if I cast everything aside for it!
[02:45] ---
    Power is a hollow glory.
[02:48] ---
    No matter how strong,
    there's always someone stronger.

[02:52] ---
    Dragon Knights, King Vearn...
[02:55] ---
    I have no idea just what level
    I can achieve.

[03:05] ---
    But I'd like to die as a more powerful
    being than the Disciples of Avan.
[03:11] ---
    I managed to kill Avan,
[03:13] ---
    but his students kept appearing
    and threatening me.
[03:18] ---
    I merely killed Avan. I didn't defeat him.
[03:23] ---
    I can't bear to die still losing to him.
[03:30] ---
    Lord Hadlar...
[03:32] ---
    Forgive me.
[03:34] ---
    You were born from Forbidden Magic.
    You can't live if I die.
[03:38] ---
    It doesn't matter!
[03:40] ---
    We are your pieces!
[03:42] ---
    Use us to fulfill your ambitions!
[03:46] ---
    If it means dying for you...
[03:51] ---
    I would gladly be shattered to pieces!
[03:58] ---
    Hym.. your eyes...
[04:04] ---
    Why is water coming out of my eyes?
[04:08] ---
    I'm not human!
[04:11] ---
    Hym... weeps?!
[04:18] ---
    Forgive me, Lord Hadlar.
[04:21] ---
    Fenbren?!
[04:25] ---
    No wonder this place is called
    the Field of Death.
[04:29] ---
    Let's hurry and find Chiu!
[04:37] ---
    Chiu!
[04:40] ---
    Are you okay?! You better be alive!
[04:43] ---
    Chiu! Hang in there!
[04:48] ---
    Oh. So you all saved me.
[04:52] ---
    What are you talking about?
[04:56] ---
    I found this for you. Be grateful.
[05:00] ---
    Once I give everyone
    the new intel I've discovered,
[05:03] ---
    they will all be grateful to me.
[05:06] ---
    Idiot! That's enough!
[05:11] ---
    You idiot! Going to such lengths!
[05:15] ---
    I'm going to totally chew you out
    when we get home!
[05:20] ---
    He thinks we drove off his assailant.
[05:24] ---
    Yeah.
[05:25] ---
    From his wounds,
    it was the bishop that attacked him.
[05:30] ---
    What's wrong?
[05:35] ---
    Popp, take Chiu and the others and go!
[05:39] ---
    Huh? What's the problem?
[05:41] ---
    Even with these extra guys
    I can still take everyone.
[05:45] ---
    Forget about us.
[05:47] ---
    Go back to base and see to their wounds.
[05:50] ---
    Don't be stupid! You may be strong but...
[05:55] ---
    Please! Popp!
[05:59] ---
    Sure...
[06:01] ---
    I don't know what it is, but be careful!
[06:10] ---
    What was that about?
[06:12] ---
    Come on out!
    I know it's you hiding there!
[06:18] ---
    It's been a while, you two.
[06:24] ---
    Baran?!
[06:27] ---
    I thought I completely hid my presence.
[06:31] ---
    You've gotten better, Hyunckel.
[06:35] ---
    You were wise to send that Mage home.
[06:39] ---
    He lost his life once because of me.
[06:43] ---
    If he saw me,
    he might not be able to stand.
[06:47] ---
    Have you come to settle things with Dai?!
[06:52] ---
    Keep away from Dai!
[06:54] ---
    The humans are about to gather
    all of their forces
[06:59] ---
    to attack Dark King Vearn!
[07:02] ---
    Dai needs to be at their head!
[07:05] ---
    I'm of the same opinion, Baran!
[07:08] ---
    That's why I chose to stay here!
[07:11] ---
    I'll risk my life to prevent that fight
    from ever happening again!

[07:17] ---
    You can risk your lives,
    but you cannot defeat me.
[07:22] ---
    What?!
[07:23] ---
    Settle down.
[07:24] ---
    I don't care about any of you, even Dai.
[07:31] ---
    My objective is the Dark King himself...
[07:35] ---
    Vearn alone!
[07:38] ---
    Dark King Vearn?!
    You're here for his head?!
[07:41] ---
    Why?!
[07:43] ---
    I owe you no explanations.
[07:46] ---
    He cannot be allowed to live. That's all.
[07:50] ---
    Wait Baran!
[07:52] ---
    Then our objectives are aligned!
[07:55] ---
    Let us put the past behind us
    and work together!
[08:01] ---
    You rescued Chiu, didn't you?!
[08:04] ---
    With you by our side,
    our forces will be considerable!
[08:09] ---
    Please!
[08:11] ---
    For Dai!
[08:14] ---
    Crocodine! Get away!
[08:21] ---
    Over my dead body!
[08:30] ---
    Crocodine!
[08:45] ---
    I am Dragon Master General Baran!
[08:50] ---
    Don't insult me!
[08:53] ---
    The humans are also an enemy
    that must be defeated!
[08:58] ---
    I would rather die than help them!
[09:02] ---
    I merely saved the little rat
[09:04] ---
    because I stumbled on him while searching
    for an entrance to Vearn's stronghold.
[09:09] ---
    It was just a whim.
[09:12] ---
    I now know the entrance is underwater.
[09:15] ---
    They claim not even a Dragon Knight
    can penetrate it.
[09:19] ---
    We'll just see about that.
[09:22] ---
    Wait Baran!
[09:24] ---
    Go alone and the enemy
    will focus their attack on you!
[09:29] ---
    And?
[09:31] ---
    I'll face Vearn's minions
    no matter how many hundred he sends!
[09:35] ---
    From here on is between
    the true Dragon Knight and the Dark King.
[09:39] ---
    A battle beyond
    your imagination will unfold.
[09:43] ---
    Go back if you want to live.
[09:48] ---
    Back to Dai.
[09:50] ---
    Those eyes...!
[09:51] ---
    He's not the same Baran I once knew!
[09:54] ---
    Could it be...?!
[10:03] ---
    Our base of operations
    has become a field hospital.
[10:08] ---
    We can still regroup.
[10:10] ---
    Chiu and the others are okay.
[10:12] ---
    They've been healed and are all asleep.
[10:15] ---
    Thank goodness!
[10:17] ---
    Now if Hyunckel and Crocodine
    can just come back safely...
[10:21] ---
    Popp, how could you leave them behind?!
[10:24] ---
    Well, it's just that
    he got so serious all of sudden.
[10:30] ---
    I couldn't say no.
[10:32] ---
    Why would Hyunckel act like that?
[10:38] ---
    What's wrong?
[10:40] ---
    I'm not sure.
[10:45] ---
    Wait!
[10:47] ---
    I can't let you go any further!
[10:50] ---
    That's enough.
[10:51] ---
    I didn't come here to thrash you two.
[10:56] ---
    I know... no, I finally realize
    what you're really after!
[11:02] ---
    You intend to throw away
    your life for Dai!
[11:06] ---
    Not even a Dragon Knight can emerge from
    a fight with Dark King Vearn unharmed.
[11:10] ---
    You're not expecting to.
[11:14] ---
    But I won't allow that!
[11:17] ---
    I can't let you fight such a hopeless
    battle, even if it's for Dai!
[11:23] ---
    If it's for Dai, then wouldn't
    letting me go be more beneficial?
[11:28] ---
    Why stop me?
[11:30] ---
    If you go alone, you'll die!
[11:33] ---
    I can't allow that to happen!
[11:36] ---
    No...
[11:38] ---
    I leave Master Baran
    and Master Dino in your hands.
[11:42] ---
    This Dark Armour Spear I wield...
[11:49] ---
    can't allow that to happen!
[11:55] ---
    Larhart?
[11:56] ---
    You would try to dissuade me?
[12:01] ---
    Do you think I'll just listen
    and obey you?
[12:06] ---
    Never!
[12:08] ---
    Sadly, my only choice is to defeat you
    before Hadlar detects us.
[12:15] ---
    What is that stance?
[12:16] ---
    To cast aside his weapon
    in the face of battle?

[12:20] ---
    What is he up to?
[12:27] ---
    His Aura... is gone!
[12:33] ---
    BLOODY SCRYDE
[12:38] ---
    NEEDLE THOUSAND
[12:42] ---
    Hyunckel's Aura has completely vanished!
[12:46] ---
    He's like a still pond
    without a single ripple.

[12:52] ---
    You drop your weapon
    while facing Baran?! Are you insane?!
[12:56] ---
    Don't worry, Crocodine.
[12:58] ---
    Besides, it looks like Baran realizes
    just how dangerous this skill really is.
[13:04] ---
    What?!
[13:05] ---
    I can't sense any Aura from Hyunckel!
[13:09] ---
    Baran's begun quelling his own Aura!
[13:11] ---
    What's going on?!
[13:13] ---
    Now my Aura is the strongest one here!
[13:17] ---
    I see. This is a self-sacrificing move.
[13:20] ---
    Self-sacrificing?!
[13:22] ---
    Unleashing a powerful attack creates
    an opening for anyone.
[13:26] ---
    You intend to allow that attack,
    thereby forcing that opening,
[13:30] ---
    which you'll exploit with a counterattack.
[13:33] ---
    When I read my master Avan's book, there
    was one skill I thought impossible for me.
[13:39] ---
    Fifteen years ago, when Avan fought
    the Dark Lord Hadlar,

[13:44] ---
    he attained this technique.
[13:46] ---
    It's the Avan Style Ultimate Technique...
[13:50] ---
    The Hollow Stance!
[13:51] ---
    The Hollow Stance?
[13:53] ---
    Against a powerful attack from an enemy,
    in order to avoid a fatal blow,
[13:58] ---
    one must completely erase their Aura,
    and ride out the force of the attack.
[14:03] ---
    But one cannot reach such a state
    with a weapon and intent to kill.
[14:09] ---
    So Avan chose to cast his sword aside.
[14:20] ---
    Come on, Hadlar!
[14:22] ---
    Fool! Have you given up?!
[14:27] ---
    This is the end!
[14:32] ---
    Avan...
[14:34] ---
    Strash!
[14:40] ---
    Avan used the Hollow Stance
    and Avan Strash.

[14:43] ---
    By combining the ultimate passive
    and active techniques, he defeated Hadlar.

[14:49] ---
    I, on the other hand,
    always held my weapon for revenge.

[14:54] ---
    To cast it aside and force myself
    into such a hollow state...

[14:58] ---
    always seemed like pure absurdity.
[15:01] ---
    Even so, Baran, this is probably
    the only skill that will have an effect.
[15:06] ---
    Using the Hollow Stance, I'll create
    an opening and use a counterattack.
[15:12] ---
    I get it!
[15:14] ---
    The stronger the attack, the greater
    the opening the Hollow Stance creates!

[15:19] ---
    For someone as overly powerful as Baran,
    it's truly a terrifying skill!

[15:25] ---
    That's why he tried
    to suppress his own Aura to fight.

[15:31] ---
    You've grown into
    a terrifying foe, Hyunckel.
[15:36] ---
    I tried to suppress my own Aura,
    but I can't erase it like you.
[15:42] ---
    That state cannot be reached
    without the strongest of resolves.
[15:48] ---
    Hyunckel? Who's he fighting?
[15:52] ---
    That man...!
[15:57] ---
    What?! Baran's begun increasing his Aura!
[16:02] ---
    Correct. That's your only option.
[16:05] ---
    You'll attack, but hold back.
[16:09] ---
    Once you endure my counter,
    you'll unleash your second attack.
[16:14] ---
    That is, if you can endure my counter.
[16:17] ---
    Baran means to put himself at risk too?!
[16:20] ---
    Hyunckel, you've shown me your resolve.
[16:25] ---
    As you wish, I shall face that skill.
[16:34] ---
    Here goes, Hyunckel!
[16:37] ---
    Larhart, not a day goes by
    that I don't think about you.

[16:43] ---
    This attack will be the best I can do.
[16:47] ---
    Should I fail to stop Baran,
[16:49] ---
    you can laugh at my foolishness
    from the afterlife.

[16:53] ---
    Dragon Master Baran?! That's him?!
[16:57] ---
    Deserter of the Dark Army,
    and Dai's father.
[17:01] ---
    There's no telling when he'll turn
    against Lord Hadlar.
[17:04] ---
    This is perfect.
    We can eliminate both of them here.
[17:09] ---
    Don't do it, Albinass!
[17:11] ---
    They may be our enemy,
    but you can't interrupt a duel.
[17:16] ---
    Who knows how angry Lord Hadlar will be?
[17:19] ---
    I shall take full responsibility.
[17:21] ---
    All is for the sake of Lord Hadlar.
[17:25] ---
    All threats must be weeded out!
[17:47] ---
    Here goes!
[18:10] ---
    Albinass!
[18:13] ---
    What happened?!
[18:15] ---
    Did you get them?!
[18:16] ---
    That wound...!
[18:19] ---
    No wonder you like him.
[18:22] ---
    Hyunckel...
[18:24] ---
    What a terrifying warrior.
[18:26] ---
    Albinass!
[18:28] ---
    He's no longer a threat now.
[18:30] ---
    That's the one silver lining.
[18:34] ---
    So it was you, Baran...
[18:37] ---
    who rescued me from that explosion.
[18:41] ---
    Wait! Hyunckel!
[18:43] ---
    Where's Hyunckel?!
[19:00] ---
    Hyunckel!
[19:05] ---
    It's too late.
[19:06] ---
    He lives, but he'll never fight again.
[19:09] ---
    How...
[19:10] ---
    What in the world could do this to him?!
[19:15] ---
    In that instant,
    the Dark Army interrupted our fight...
[19:20] ---
    and attacked.
[19:22] ---
    I was so focused on attacking Hyunckel
    that I couldn't do anything else.

[19:29] ---
    Hyunckel and I would both have been
    caught off guard and died.

[19:34] ---
    That's when Hyunckel...
[19:35] ---
    Needle Thousand!
[19:39] ---
    Bloody Scryde!
[19:46] ---
    Hyunckel used his Hollow Stance
    on the Dark Army instead...

[19:51] ---
    driving them off.
[19:56] ---
    All while knowing
    he'd take the full force of my attack.
[20:01] ---
    His words weren't just dull platitudes.
[20:04] ---
    He was willing to give his life
    to save mine.
[20:10] ---
    Hyunckel...
[20:12] ---
    Crocodine, what must I do?
[20:17] ---
    How can I ever repay this man?
[20:20] ---
    Don't ask me!
[20:23] ---
    It shames me Baran,
[20:25] ---
    but deep down,
    I wanted you to fight Vearn!
[20:29] ---
    I thought it would benefit the humans!
[20:33] ---
    I figured it was futile
    to try to stop you!
[20:39] ---
    And yet...
[20:40] ---
    And yet, Hyunckel still...
[20:43] ---
    I don't deserve to say anything!
[20:46] ---
    He can be cold,
    but he's a man I'm proud to call a friend!
[20:52] ---
    Just respect what he was trying to do!
[20:59] ---
    I see.
[21:03] ---
    The Great Citadel, Vearn Palace.
[21:05] ---
    The Dark Citadel Gate lies underwater.
[21:08] ---
    Chiu did a good job in finding it.
[21:12] ---
    I think I have to go there...
[21:15] ---
    while everyone is fighting
    the Hadlar Royal Guard on the surface.
[21:19] ---
    Wait a minute, Dai!
[21:22] ---
    Not even a Dragon Knight
    can destroy the gate.
[21:25] ---
    It's too dangerous to go alone.
[21:28] ---
    You need someone to go with you.
[21:32] ---
    I'll go. Leave it to me!
[21:35] ---
    You're our key player
    against the Royal Guard!
[21:38] ---
    I'll go instead!
[21:44] ---
    I shall go!
[21:51] ---
    Baran?!
[22:07] ---
    To be honest I was clumsy
[22:07] ---
    omoeba boku wa bukiyou de
[22:12] ---
    And it took me forever to get here
[22:12] ---
    shouganaikurai tomawarishita
[22:18] ---
    I used even loneliness as a weapon
[22:18] ---
    kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite
[22:24] ---
    I searched the dungeon for a simple answer
[22:24] ---
    tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon
[22:30] ---
    Even if I cast aside
    Rightness and kindness

[22:30] ---
    tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo
[22:35] ---
    I just want to be there for you
[22:35] ---
    tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai
[22:41] ---
    To call out your name
[22:41] ---
    kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga
[22:47] ---
    Is harder than any magic spell
[22:47] ---
