HADLAR'S CHALLENGE
[01:53] ---
Got you!
[01:55] ---
Baran... falls!
[02:13] ---
What was that?!
[02:16] ---
An Avan Strash?!
[02:18] ---
Was that... the Hero brat?
[02:22] ---
H-How can there be this many
people out there stronger than me?!
[02:30] ---
Damn... it all!
[02:36] ---
I've never drawn my sword
without thinking before.
[02:39] ---
I felt my sword's will
and my own will as one!
[02:43] ---
I completely forgot about the seal!
[02:45] ---
All I could think about was saving...
[02:51] ---
So that's your sword.
[02:54] ---
Impressive.
[03:00] ---
With our blades, not even
the Dark Citadel Gate will hold.
[03:09] ---
Let's go, Dai!
[03:10] ---
Focus all of your strength into this blow!
[03:14] ---
Okay!
[03:26] ---
We did it!
[03:37] ---
This rumbling...!
[03:43] ---
They breached it.
[03:45] ---
That gate that was sealed
by the Dark King's power.
[03:56] ---
Send for another.
[03:58] ---
Yes, my king.
[04:01] ---
How very impressive.
[04:04] ---
We did it! The entrance
to Vearn Palace is open!
[04:08] ---
We were bound to succeed.
[04:10] ---
The combined might of two Dragon Knights
is a force that normally should not exist.
[04:17] ---
Shattering the gate is not our goal.
Keep your guard up.
[04:23] ---
Come! Our target is Dark King Vearn!
[04:29] ---
This shaking can only mean...
[04:33] ---
Dai and Baran have breached
the Dark Citadel Gate!
[04:45] ---
Fenbren is dead!
[04:47] ---
Damn it!
[04:49] ---
Wait! Where are you going, Hym?!
[04:52] ---
To avenge Fenbren!
[04:54] ---
You will not!
[04:57] ---
But...!
[04:58] ---
Have you forgotten, Hym,
your vow to Lord Hadlar?
[05:07] ---
With Fenbren's insubordination,
how can we abandon our position now?!
[05:14] ---
You're right.
[05:17] ---
Our purpose here is to allow Lord Hadlar
to fight Dai and Baran whole-heartedly!
[05:24] ---
What?!
[05:25] ---
That means...!
[05:28] ---
We'll take care of you here!
[05:35] ---
Hadlar intends to fight Dai and Baran,
two Dragon Knights, at once?!
[05:49] ---
Hadlar?!
[05:51] ---
He's alone?!
[06:10] ---
Impossible! How is he here?!
[06:13] ---
Perfect. I wouldn't have it
any other way!
[06:19] ---
Hyunckel!
[06:20] ---
Pick yourselves up. We need to
take them out and follow Dai and Baran!
[06:28] ---
All that damage and he still shows up
on the battlefield?
[06:33] ---
Is he really human?
[06:36] ---
He must be immortal. Just like us.
[06:44] ---
This is crazy, Hyunckel.
You can barely even stand!
[06:50] ---
That magnificent, reckless fool!
[06:53] ---
Hey, big brute!
[06:55] ---
I've had just about enough of you!
[07:08] ---
Hyunckel, are you sure about this?!
Coming here couldn't have been easy!
[07:12] ---
Don't worry about me.
[07:13] ---
That's right!
All he can do is stand around anyways!
[07:19] ---
Don't bother worrying!
[07:21] ---
Popp!
[07:22] ---
Just stand right there.
[07:26] ---
Having you stand behind us is enough.
[07:30] ---
You're still our senior Disciple of Avan.
[07:36] ---
Popp...
[07:38] ---
Even if you can't do anything...
[07:41] ---
just by showing up,
you've given us plenty of courage.
[07:47] ---
We won't lose.
[07:49] ---
Just relax and stand there.
[07:52] ---
I appreciate it, but standing still
is actually more exhausting.
[07:58] ---
I'll take my chances.
[07:59] ---
Hmph! Learn to take a compliment!
[08:05] ---
The bishop's missing.
[08:08] ---
Is it dead?
[08:09] ---
Probably. Dai and Baran must have won.
[08:12] ---
Dai and Baran?
[08:14] ---
It looks like they had
already figured out our plan.
[08:18] ---
Hadlar is waiting for Dai and Baran.
[08:21] ---
He plans to fight two Dragon Knights?
[08:25] ---
Is he sure of his victory?
[08:27] ---
Or does he intend to die?
[08:29] ---
Or...
[08:30] ---
could it be both?
[08:33] ---
We have to hurry!
Focus on taking them out!
[08:36] ---
That's our line!
[08:40] ---
You aren't the only ones
who can't afford to lose here!
[08:44] ---
We'd like to wipe you all out right now!
[08:48] ---
So, let's see who gets
to go to their leader!
[08:56] ---
So, who will go first?
[09:00] ---
I don't have much time.
[09:03] ---
Is this some sort of game, Hadlar?
[09:06] ---
Do you really think us so weak
that you could easily win?
[09:13] ---
Of course not.
[09:14] ---
Dragon Knights are the ultimate creatures
created by the gods.
[09:19] ---
Knowing one served under me, Baran,
made me live in fear.
[09:25] ---
I was petrified that you'd come
for my throne.
[09:30] ---
Then when I learned Dai was
a Dragon Knight, I was terrified.
[09:36] ---
I imagined the two of you working together
to come and defeat me.
[09:43] ---
And now that fear has become a reality.
[09:46] ---
And yet, I find myself looking forward
to this fight. Life can be strange.
[09:54] ---
He intended to fight both of us
from the start.
[09:58] ---
Fenbren's insubordination was unexpected.
[10:02] ---
It seems that inside me,
[10:05] ---
there was still some lingering
narcissism and desire for glory.
[10:11] ---
These were manifested in Fenbren's
personality through the Forbidden Magic.
[10:17] ---
Children tend to grow up
to be their parents.
[10:23] ---
Now I shall defeat Dai, the Hero!
[10:26] ---
And Baran, if you intend to defend Dai...
[10:31] ---
I will take both of you out!
[10:35] ---
Fool!
[10:36] ---
Save your overconfidence!
[10:40] ---
It seems you've grown in power somewhat.
[10:43] ---
But don't assume you can take on
two Dragon Knights at once!
[10:48] ---
I shall slay you here myself!
[10:58] ---
TWIN SWORD PINNING
[11:03] ---
AVAN STRASH
[11:11] ---
Wait! Hadlar isn't being overconfident!
[11:15] ---
He's become a Superior Being!
[11:17] ---
A Superior Being?
[11:19] ---
He really is strong enough
to fight both of us!
[11:24] ---
We have to fight together!
It's the sure way to defeat him!
[11:28] ---
Ridiculous.
[11:30] ---
After what he said,
you'd choose to fight him together?!
[11:34] ---
Have you no pride as a Dragon Knight?!
[11:37] ---
If I could win with just pride, I would.
[11:41] ---
You already said our target
is Dark King Vearn!
[11:51] ---
So it begins. The climax of this battle.
[11:57] ---
Which has the upper hand?
[12:00] ---
Hadlar may have become quite powerful,
[12:04] ---
but against Dai and Baran
at their full power, he cannot win.
[12:09] ---
Separating from his Royal Guard
was pure suicide.
[12:14] ---
Suicide, you say?
[12:16] ---
It seems to me,
[12:19] ---
he intends to draw out his own power
to its limit through desperation.
[12:24] ---
A clever ploy by Hadlar.
[12:27] ---
But, should Hadlar be defeated,
[12:30] ---
the two Dragons will gain entrance
into the citadel.
[12:34] ---
That won't happen.
[12:36] ---
Sire?
[12:37] ---
That is an impossibility, Mystvearn.
[12:42] ---
Those two will never see my face.
[12:48] ---
I misjudged you, Dai.
[12:51] ---
I thought you had grown as a warrior...
[12:54] ---
but you're still far from ever being
a true Dragon Knight!
[12:59] ---
If worrying about pride
keeps me from doing what has to be done,
[13:03] ---
then I don't want to be
a true Dragon Knight.
[13:07] ---
Besides, I'm part human.
[13:09] ---
I have the blood of my mother.
[13:14] ---
I've always fought for those around me,
doing the best that I could.
[13:21] ---
For me, making sure we defeat Hadlar
and Vearn is more important than my pride!
[13:28] ---
Dai...
[13:30] ---
Hurry up. Who will fight?
[13:34] ---
Or will you both fight me?
[13:40] ---
I'll fight you, Hadlar!
[13:43] ---
You won't listen to reason,
so I don't have a choice.
[13:47] ---
You'll see in just a few seconds.
[13:51] ---
So Dai comes first.
[13:54] ---
Here goes!
[13:58] ---
Hadlar has a sword?!
[14:13] ---
Good, Dai! You've improved
since our last fight!
[14:29] ---
Dai isn't weak!
[14:31] ---
The power of the attacks
he unleashes rivals that of my own!
[14:36] ---
How very generous.
[14:38] ---
To fight in place of your father
who has no experience fighting me.
[14:44] ---
However, Dai...
[14:46] ---
it's not as though you know
the extent of my powers either!
[14:55] ---
A weapon in his left hand?!
[14:57] ---
Hell's Chain!
[15:05] ---
Boom!
[15:23] ---
Avan Strash!
[15:25] ---
Kaboom!
[15:34] ---
Dai!
[15:37] ---
Dai!
[15:40] ---
Are you alright?!
[15:46] ---
What did I tell you?
[15:48] ---
I see now.
[15:50] ---
Hadlar has become a formidable enemy.
[15:58] ---
Well done, Dai.
You never cease to surprise me.
[16:05] ---
I could say the same.
[16:07] ---
He completely nullified my Strash
with his Kaboom spell.
[16:12] ---
A wound like that
will regenerate in no time.
[16:18] ---
That... It can't be!
[16:21] ---
I'm sure of it!
The Coal of Hell! A Black Core!
[16:26] ---
What's wrong?!
[16:27] ---
How could Dark King Vearn
do something so barbaric?!
[16:32] ---
To implant such a thing
in his own servant!
[16:36] ---
A Black Core?!
[16:38] ---
You had such a thing
hidden in Hadlar's body?!
[16:42] ---
Now do you see?
[16:45] ---
I said those two will never see my face.
[16:52] ---
Even if Hadlar falls,
[16:55] ---
if the Black Core
in his body is detonated,
[17:00] ---
at the very least,
we can bring it to a draw.
[17:05] ---
A draw? It will blow away
the whole Field of Death.
[17:11] ---
Perhaps, but it won't mean anything
to Vearn Palace.
[17:18] ---
They're fighting
in the exterior perimeter after all.
[17:28] ---
That thing's... a bomb?!
[17:30] ---
That's right.
[17:32] ---
An Underworld super-powerful bomb
called a Black Core.
[17:36] ---
No, it's a nightmare weapon
beyond the definition of a bomb.
[17:42] ---
How do you know that?
[17:44] ---
I once saw one in the Underworld.
[17:48] ---
Black Cores are made
from a stone called Black Crystal.
[17:53] ---
It's found deep in the Underworld,
and absorbs power endlessly.
[17:57] ---
They're weaponized using Old Magic.
[18:00] ---
But, due to their
extreme destructive power,
[18:03] ---
even evil creatures that casually use
Forbidden Magic fear using Black Cores.
[18:12] ---
Thirteen years ago, when Hadlar rampaged
the surface world as Dark Lord,
[18:17] ---
I fought Velzar, King of the Abyss
in the Underworld.
[18:23] ---
Velzar used a Black Core while battling
on a certain Underworld Continent.
[18:30] ---
What happened?
[18:32] ---
The entire continent was vaporized.
[18:38] ---
In his attempt to kill me,
he destroyed his own territory.
[18:44] ---
Even Velzar refused to use
a Black Core after that.
[18:51] ---
It makes sense, considering his ambitions
to rule the Underworld and surface world.
[18:58] ---
What's the point
if there's nothing left to rule?
[19:02] ---
But for Vearn to use a Black Core...
[19:06] ---
It seems his plan
is not to rule the surface world
[19:12] ---
but to annihilate it.
[19:15] ---
I never intended for Hadlar
to be a sacrificial pawn.
[19:20] ---
But when I saved him
from the brink of death,
[19:23] ---
I implanted it in him as insurance.
[19:28] ---
But then he went and
turned himself into a Superior Being.
[19:34] ---
This was something even I did not expect.
[19:38] ---
The power increase beyond his limits
had an adverse effect on the Black Core.
[19:45] ---
That bomb could be set off at any moment.
[19:50] ---
This must be manifested in Hadlar
as bouts of extreme pain.
[19:57] ---
Of course, he assumes it's merely
due to his conversion to a Superior Being.
[20:05] ---
Knowing the outcome to a battle...
[20:09] ---
is a boring thing indeed.
[20:12] ---
But we must see it through.
[20:17] ---
For my dear right-hand man,
[20:19] ---
it could be his final grand performance.
[20:27] ---
Hadlar...
[20:29] ---
Awakening as a true warrior
ultimately shortened your life.
[20:34] ---
How ironic.
[20:37] ---
I would prefer that you win and survive...
[20:42] ---
but should you fall,
at least go out in a blaze of glory.
[20:46] ---
Be honored to know that your death
shall be for the great King Vearn.
[20:57] ---
If it explodes, we'll be in trouble.
[21:00] ---
What do we do?
[21:01] ---
I don't know.
[21:03] ---
What?!
[21:03] ---
But we can't use spells or Magic Swords.
[21:08] ---
Fight only using blunt force.
[21:10] ---
That's impossible! We can't win like that!
[21:14] ---
Just listen to me!
[21:17] ---
That Black Core has been imbued
with great Magic Power.
[21:21] ---
It must have absorbed Hadlar's
increased Magic Power to its limit.
[21:27] ---
Simply hitting it with a powerful spell
might set it off.
[21:33] ---
Are you done planning?
[21:36] ---
I'll take you both on! Here I come!
[21:50] ---
That's...!
[21:51] ---
Oh no! He's coming!
[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
[22:19] ---
I used even loneliness as a weapon
[22:19] ---
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
[22:42] ---
To call out your name
[22:42] ---
kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga
[22:47] ---
Is harder than any magic spell
[22:47] ---
ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute
[22:53] ---
Even though you're so close to me
[22:53] ---
konnani mo chikaku ni itanoni
[22:59] ---
I love you
[22:59] ---
aishiteiru
[23:02] ---
I finally realized it
[23:02] ---
imasara kizuitanosa
[23:05] ---
To call out your name
[23:05] ---
kimi no namae wo yobu tame ni
[23:10] ---
Must be the reason I was born
[23:10] ---
boku wa kitto umarete kitannda
[23:17] ---
I shake off the clinging night
[23:17] ---
shigamitsuku yoru furihodoite
[23:22] ---
And go to see you
[23:22] ---
ai ni iku
[23:25] ---
Right now to where you are
[23:25] ---
ima sugu kimi no moto e
[23:33] ---
To avoid setting off the Black Core
and alerting Hadlar of its presence,
[23:38] ---
Dai and Baran must
hold back their attacks.
[23:41] ---
Meanwhile, Hadlar hounds
Dai and Baran relentlessly.
[23:45] ---
Hadlar gets in position
for his Ultra Combustion Slash.
[23:48] ---
Against the overwhelming odds,
Baran makes a deadly gambit.
[23:53] ---
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,
[23:56] ---
"Hadlar Versus Baran"*
[23:58] ---
The adventure continues!
