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] ---**
*kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite*
**[22:24] ---**
*I searched the dungeon for a simple answer*
**[22:24] ---**
*tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon*
**[22:29] ---**
*Even if I cast aside
Rightness and kindness*
**[22:29] ---**
*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] ---**
