    THE CAVE OF TRIALS
[01:51] ---
    The Cave of Trials was created by
    the God of Humans.

[01:55] ---
    It's a place that contains
    all magic that counters evil power.

[02:01] ---
    Queen Flora built this fort believing
    we would eventually need to use the Cave.
[02:08] ---
    Why are there monsters
    in a cave of a God?
[02:12] ---
    According to this Ancient Tome
    King Teran sent us...
[02:16] ---
    the gods did not approve of people
    having more power than they deserved.
[02:24] ---
    How far is unknown,
    but the labyrinth extends underground.

[02:28] ---
    Deeper levels hold spells
    of greater power.

[02:31] ---
    But the paths become
    more complex with more traps...

[02:36] ---
    and even more powerful monsters
    await down there.

[02:40] ---
    It's not a place for the inexperienced.
[02:45] ---
    But we need to brave it
    to obtain Kaglimmer.
[02:49] ---
    Huh. Who knew Carl Kingdom
    had such a place.
[02:55] ---
    Ah. So this is Kaglimmer.
[02:58] ---
    "By casting in a group,
    Kaglimmer increases in power.

[03:02] ---
    Use Mysticite and stand in
    a pentagon arrangement

[03:07] ---
    to achieve maximum spell effect."
[03:11] ---
    I guess that's why you need
    five Disciples of Avan.
[03:14] ---
    Even so, I'm against this.
[03:17] ---
    Leona's not a warrior.
    She's just a normal girl.
[03:21] ---
    And she's Papnica's princess.
[03:24] ---
    She doesn't need to take such a risk.
[03:27] ---
    She could let someone else...
[03:29] ---
    Dai! That's insulting to the Princess!
[03:32] ---
    Women can risk their lives
    to fight for what they believe in, too!
[03:41] ---
    Miss Amy...
[03:42] ---
    Dai doesn't want
    Leona involved in this fight.
[03:45] ---
    Huh?
[03:46] ---
    If Leona becomes a Disciple of Avan...
[03:49] ---
    that means she'll have to face
    that terrifying Dark King Vearn.
[03:55] ---
    Yeah. That's a little overwhelming.
[03:59] ---
    We'd rather not face him again
    if we had the choice.
[04:03] ---
    I see.
[04:05] ---
    I'm sorry, Dai.
[04:07] ---
    But try to understand that
    the Princess wants to be with you all.
[04:14] ---
    Speaking of which...
[04:16] ---
    there's already a girl
    who's fighting the Dark King, Dai!
[04:23] ---
    He means you're the exception.
[04:34] ---
    L-Leona!
[04:40] ---
    S-Such thin fabric!
[04:44] ---
    This is a Robe of Carl.
    It has the benefit of repelling Malice.
[04:50] ---
    We will need a couple of guards.
[04:52] ---
    P-Please wait!
[04:54] ---
    Please take me with you!
[04:57] ---
    My clairvoyance will help
    to navigate the labyrinth!
[05:02] ---
    I want to help you all!
[05:06] ---
    Please!
[05:10] ---
    Very well. That makes one.
[05:13] ---
    Thank you!
[05:15] ---
    We need one more.
[05:16] ---
    I'll--
[05:18] ---
    Right here! I, Popp, will protect you!
[05:22] ---
    Popp...
[05:24] ---
    It will be a terrifying, massive cave!
[05:27] ---
    It would be dangerous with just women.
[05:44] ---
    That look on your face
    is much more dangerous!
[05:48] ---
    I'll go for protection.
[05:50] ---
    Sound good. We've never
    fought together before either.
[05:55] ---
    Then that makes our party.
[05:58] ---
    You will need to
    change into the Robes as well.
[06:01] ---
    Oh man!
[06:02] ---
    I'll be going, Dai.
[06:05] ---
    Leona...
[06:07] ---
    Hey! You don't trust me!
[06:10] ---
    I can do what I set my mind to!
[06:14] ---
    Haven't I always...
[06:16] ---
    since we met?
[06:23] ---
    Huh? What?
[06:25] ---
    I was just remembering when we met.
[06:27] ---
    Oh come on!
[06:29] ---
    Dai?!
[06:30] ---
    I'm off to train while you're away!
[06:35] ---
    I'll protect you against the Dark King!
[06:42] ---
    Okay! Let's all check our weapons
    and equipment!
[06:46] ---
    Yeah!
[06:49] ---
    -Nova.
    -Yes?
[06:51] ---
    I have a favor to ask.
[06:54] ---
    Maam, aren't you
    a little too strict on Popp?
[06:58] ---
    Popp?
[07:00] ---
    He doesn't understand the danger we're in.
    The world could end!
[07:06] ---
    Kaglimmer will be most effective
    when the five of you form a pentagon.
[07:13] ---
    I'm sure it will be strong enough
    to stop Vearn Palace.
[07:18] ---
    But why does it have to be
    five Disciples of Avan?
[07:22] ---
    All I can use are Heal-type spells.
[07:27] ---
    Maam, hold your Insignia of Avan.
[07:31] ---
    Think of the people
    you're worried about the most.
[07:36] ---
    Huh?
[07:44] ---
    Hyunckel...
[07:45] ---
    Crocodine...
[07:53] ---
    Oh!
[07:55] ---
    Th-The Insignia is glowing red!
[08:00] ---
    That is the color of
    the power of your soul.
[08:03] ---
    The power of my soul?
[08:05] ---
    The Great Purification Spell
    requires more than Magic Power.
[08:10] ---
    It requires the will of people
    who seek to defeat evil.
[08:15] ---
    Mysticite can sense that will
    and amplify it.
[08:20] ---
    That glow is proof of that.
[08:23] ---
    Maam, your power is
    your loving heart.
[08:28] ---
    My loving heart?
[08:30] ---
    Your ability to care for others
    and empathize with them.
[08:33] ---
    That is the source of
    all of your strength.
[08:38] ---
    Avan valued such qualities
    over strength and skill.
[08:43] ---
    And he granted people with souls worthy of
    saving the world with his Insignia.
[08:50] ---
    That's why Dai, Popp, and Hyunckel
[08:53] ---
    should also have unique qualities
    that will make their Mysticite glow.
[08:59] ---
    Unique colors of their souls.
[09:03] ---
    As do you, Leona.
[09:06] ---
    That's why the Great Purification Spell
    must be cast by you five.
[09:14] ---
    Huh. Unique colors of our souls.
[09:19] ---
    What color will mine glow?
[09:31] ---
    It... It won't glow!
[09:33] ---
    That's not possible!
[09:35] ---
    Maam made hers glow
    without knowing anything about it!

[09:42] ---
    You're kidding!
[09:44] ---
    My Insignia should glow at least a little!
[09:47] ---
    Glow! Even just a faint glimmer!
[09:50] ---
    Who's there?!
[09:55] ---
    What's wrong, Maam?
[09:57] ---
    I sensed somebody here.
[10:00] ---
    I thought maybe Popp was snooping on us.
[10:16] ---
    That's not possible!
    There must be some way to make it glow!
[10:22] ---
    If it doesn't glow, that means I'll
    drag everyone down at the crucial moment!
[10:28] ---
    No way! I was properly chosen
    as a Disciple by Master Avan, too!
[10:35] ---
    Properly...
[10:37] ---
    Someday I know you will understand.
[10:40] ---
    So, hold onto this
    for when that day comes.
[10:45] ---
    Could it be...?!
[10:46] ---
    Is it because Dai and I got our Insignias
    before completing our training?!
[10:52] ---
    We weren't properly accepted
    like Maam and Hyunckel were.

[10:57] ---
    Could it be that I'm...
[11:01] ---
    unworthy of being a Disciple of Avan?!
[11:06] ---
    N-No way! No way!
[11:08] ---
    That's not possible!
[11:10] ---
    I've risked my life fighting
    to come this far!

[11:14] ---
    I'll find a way to make this thing glow!
[11:18] ---
    It'll glow!
[11:19] ---
    I can make it glow too,
    right Master Avan?!
[11:23] ---
    This Ancient Tome was left by a Sage
    who braved the Cave of Trials long ago.
[11:28] ---
    It includes a map.
[11:31] ---
    How far down is the Kaglimmer spell?
[11:35] ---
    25 floors underground.
[11:37] ---
    The Glimmer spell Avan obtained
    is 15 floors underground.
[11:43] ---
    So we're going deeper
    than Master Avan did.
[11:47] ---
    We have 30 hours until the execution.
[11:52] ---
    We'll need ten hours to prepare
    and get to Hyunckel and Crocodine.
[11:56] ---
    That leaves 20 hours to search.
[11:59] ---
    Frizz.
[12:02] ---
    This candle will last for ten hours.
[12:07] ---
    Once it goes out,
    we should head back to the surface.
[12:12] ---
    I can cast
    the Dungeon Escape Spell, Evac...
[12:16] ---
    but it won't work in this cave.
[12:19] ---
    Unless the cave's Malice is
    somehow repelled, we can't use Evac.
[12:25] ---
    So we have to assume returning
    will take ten hours.
[12:30] ---
    If we can't go down 25 floors in
    ten hours, we give up on Kaglimmer?
[12:36] ---
    Yes.
[12:37] ---
    We'll return to the surface and focus on
    rescuing Hyunckel and Crocodine.
[12:42] ---
    But...
[12:45] ---
    we have a map and Merle's abilities.
[12:49] ---
    So long as we watch out for monsters,
    we should make good time.
[12:54] ---
    Come, let us go.
[13:02] ---
    How creepy.
    And it gets a lot deeper with each floor.
[13:07] ---
    I sense numerous
    sources of Malice from below. Be careful.
[13:14] ---
    Wait, Maam!
[13:16] ---
    But this thing flaps around
    and gets in the way.
[13:19] ---
    Even so...
[13:22] ---
    Forget it Merle.
    That's the kind of person she is.
[13:26] ---
    That sort of thing has a bad influence
    on Popp and gives him a dirty mind!
[13:32] ---
    Really? Popp's had a dirty mind
    since I met him.
[13:38] ---
    And this group has its own issues.
[13:42] ---
    We're not on a picnic.
[13:44] ---
    We're entering
    the first level of the labyrinth.
[13:55] ---
    Slimes!
[14:00] ---
    The basics.
[14:04] ---
    REFRACTOR FIST
[14:09] ---
    FULLHEAL
    HEAL-TYPE SPELL
[14:15] ---
    They're weak,
    but fighting them all will take time!
[14:29] ---
    We should avoid wasting any time.
[14:33] ---
    Let's go.
[14:34] ---
    What spell can be learned on
    the first level?
[14:37] ---
    It says Safe Passage.
[14:39] ---
    We can skip that. I can already use it.
[14:42] ---
    We skip all of them.
[14:44] ---
    All we want is Kaglimmer, 25 floors down.
[14:52] ---
    So Nova's helping him train.
[14:56] ---
    Dai's Insignia was
    a provisional one like mine.

[15:00] ---
    So how about him?
[15:06] ---
    You seem much better!
    I see you've gotten over it, Dai!
[15:11] ---
    I don't have time to mope around!
    We're fighting Vearn, the Dark King!
[15:16] ---
    I need to gain any skill I can use,
    no matter how minor!
[15:21] ---
    And I'll defeat Vearn!
[15:27] ---
    Here goes!
[15:31] ---
    Oh crap!
[15:33] ---
    I'm the only one!
    I'm the only one who can't do it!

[15:37] ---
    I have to do something quick!
[15:40] ---
    There's no time!
[15:44] ---
    From here, we'll base your training
    on the Book of Avan.
[15:51] ---
    I'll push myself! I'll do it! I'll do it!
[16:15] ---
    The Ancient Tome says the deeper we go,
    the stronger the monsters get.
[16:22] ---
    I don't sense any more monsters
    on this level.
[16:26] ---
    Let's find the stairs down.
[16:29] ---
    Oh!
[16:30] ---
    What's wrong?!
[16:32] ---
    A vase! I found a vase!
[16:34] ---
    Let's see what's inside!
[16:36] ---
    Come on. Let's find the stairs.
[16:39] ---
    Huh?! Huh?!
    You're ignoring a vase in the cave?
[16:52] ---
    Avan Strash!
[17:11] ---
    Yes! I can do it! I can use them both!
[17:14] ---
    That was the projectile type, right?
[17:16] ---
    Yeah.
[17:17] ---
    According to the Book of Avan,
    there are two types of Avan Strash.
[17:24] ---
    The Arrow Type, where you cut
    a distant enemy by slashing Aura at them.

[17:29] ---
    And the Break Type, where you slash
    an enemy directly with all of your Aura.

[17:34] ---
    Arrow and Break...
[17:37] ---
    "Each type has its
    advantages and disadvantages.
[17:40] ---
    The Arrow Type can be used quickly,
    but has a weaker impact.
[17:45] ---
    The Break Type is powerful
    and has speed,
[17:49] ---
    but takes time to unleash each shot.
[17:53] ---
    Using each type of Strash in battle
    depending on the situation
[17:58] ---
    requires skill and quick judgement,"
[18:02] ---
    so it says.
[18:03] ---
    I see. I've been fighting without
    thinking about that at all.
[18:09] ---
    Had I known that,
    I could have fought much better.

[18:13] ---
    It's kind of embarrassing.
[18:15] ---
    Don't be embarrassed.
[18:17] ---
    Look.
[18:18] ---
    What?
[18:19] ---
    I can use Aura Blade.
[18:22] ---
    It's not an Avan Strash, but I can
    launch my Aura in an attack, too.
[18:33] ---
    See that?
[18:34] ---
    As adept as I am at Aura Blade,
    I still struggle to hit my target
[18:39] ---
    and time my attack so it detonates
    at the moment of impact.
[18:45] ---
    Even Sir Avan probably didn't
    expect you to master Avan Strash so soon.
[18:53] ---
    That's why he didn't lecture you on
    the different types of Strash.
[18:58] ---
    I guess so.
[18:59] ---
    But if I knew how to read...
[19:03] ---
    I could have learned that when Matoriv
    gave us the Book of Avan.
[19:10] ---
    That's definitely your fault.
[19:12] ---
    But that's why I brought the Book of Avan
[19:17] ---
    to help with your training.
[19:20] ---
    Don't waste your time, Dai.
[19:23] ---
    Thank you, Nova.
[19:25] ---
    Save your thanks for Princess Leona.
[19:29] ---
    She's the one who asked me to help.
[19:32] ---
    You can tell her if she makes it back.
[19:36] ---
    It's fine. I know she'll come back.
[19:40] ---
    You believe in her.
[19:42] ---
    Leona always does what she sets out to do.
[19:46] ---
    She always has.
[19:57] ---
    Come on, Leona! I told you
    not to open the treasure chests!
[20:03] ---
    I couldn't help it.
[20:05] ---
    It seems like a waste to
    find one and ignore it.
[20:08] ---
    Leona, I bet you buy mountains of stuff
    whenever you go shopping, don't you?
[20:16] ---
    Um, but, considering where we are,
[20:18] ---
    I thought we might find a weapon
    that could save the world or something.
[20:25] ---
    What have we found so far?
[20:26] ---
    Two Cypress Sticks and 216 gold.
[20:30] ---
    We definitely can't
    save the world with these.
[20:36] ---
    Fine! I get it already!
[20:38] ---
    Onward it is, right? Onward!
[20:41] ---
    But it's been almost ten hours.
[20:44] ---
    We're still only 18 floors down.
[20:47] ---
    We should start thinking about
    heading back.
[20:52] ---
    I didn't think each floor
    would take this long.
[20:55] ---
    Oh! Princess Leona!
[20:57] ---
    Wait!
[20:59] ---
    What? What did I do now?
[21:04] ---
    No! I mean... It's not that.
[21:08] ---
    Then what is it?
[21:10] ---
    Go on, Merle. Speak up.
[21:13] ---
    It's a premonition... or just a feeling.
[21:18] ---
    Whatever! Just say it!
[21:21] ---
    This floor...
[21:24] ---
    Staying here too long...
[21:27] ---
    feels dangerous.
[21:29] ---
    Huh?!
[21:33] ---
    Head back to the stairs!
[21:38] ---
    -Merle!
    -Yes?!
[21:39] ---
    Next time, let us know right away!
[21:42] ---
    Okay!
[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] ---

    I searched the dungeon for a simple answer

    Even if I cast aside
    Rightness and kindness
