[00:26] Talisman
    I had this gut feeling, if you will.
    Something small that bothered me.
[00:31] Talisman
    Vichyssoise was one of our trump cards.
[00:35] Talisman
    Not many people, even from the Lou
    and the Zoa family, could stop her.
[00:40] Talisman
    I never thought she would fail.
[00:42] Iska
    Should you be saying these things to me?
[00:46] Talisman
    Was it you who defeated her?
[00:49] Talisman
    Ex-eleventh seat of the Saint Disciples?
[00:52] Iska
    I'm not going to answer that.
[00:55] Talisman
    This is why I had a bad feeling about this.
[00:59] Talisman
    That's why I sent another assassin, but
    it seems he hasn't arrived here yet.
[01:05] Iska
    Assassin?
[01:06] Talisman
    But all is well. I must return
    to the royal palace soon anyway.
[01:12] Talisman
    Today is a big day—
[01:15] EP SIGN
    Last Crusade: Night of the Witch Hunt
[01:16] Talisman
    I was still talking.
[01:19] Iska
    I don't care.
[01:30] Talisman
    It'd be dangerous to let you come any closer.
[01:36] Talisman
    The Great Eagre.
[01:43] Iska
    My arm will be crushed!
[01:48] Talisman
    You evaded before I could capture you.
[01:50] Talisman
    You have a lot of experience
    for such a young man.
[01:54] Talisman
    A destroyer who has spent
    much time in the battlefield.
[02:10] Iska
    If I move at the same time, I can
    jump in faster than the waves!
[02:14] Talisman
    It's rare to see an Imperial soldier
    who doesn't use a gun, but there's a—
[02:19] Iska
    There's a barrier there, isn't there?
[02:23] Talisman
    Oh? What did you see?
[02:27] Iska
    It was intuition.
[02:29] Talisman
    Saint Disciples are truly remarkable.
[02:32] Talisman
    An individual that can surpass a group
    in this day and age is a huge problem.
[02:39] Talisman
    I was waiting for someone like you.
[02:45] Talisman
    A wave is a wavelength of dynamic
    energy that has acquired a vector.
[02:50] Talisman
    It is the very physical quality
    that creates mass and acceleration.
[02:55] Talisman
    This you must already know.
[02:57] Iska
    What?!
[02:58] Talisman
    You shouldn't lump all
    wave astral mages together.
[03:08] Iska
    He can do all this damage via
    simple contact with his fist?
[03:15] Talisman
    The Vicious Tyrant, Talisman.
[03:17] Talisman
    Although this moniker is far
    from my true intentions.
[03:23] Iska
    Seems like it suits you.
[03:28] Jhin
    As a reward for safely
    escorting her to the palace,
[03:31] Jhin
    we get a sticker that can
    hide the boss's astral crest.
[03:35] Jhin
    This is becoming a deadly mission.
[03:37] Sisbell
    D-Did you say something?!
[03:39] Jhin
    Nothing at all.
[03:40] Mismis
    Can't you do something using
    your astral power, Sisbell?
[03:44] Nene
    Like blast everyone away?
[03:47] Sisbell
    I wouldn't have hired a
    bodyguard if I could do that!
[03:50] Sisbell
    But maybe I can buy us some time to escape.
[03:54] Sisbell
    Stars, show me your past.
[03:59] Fake Imperial Soldier C
    What?!
[04:03] Sisbell
    H-How was that? I was able to fool them.
[04:07] Jhin
    Yeah, it'll work the first time.
[04:10] Jhin
    Either way, we need to leave this palace,
    or we'll be surrounded.
[04:15] Jhin
    Is there a room on the second
    floor that we could jump off from?
[04:19] Sisbell
    Yes, maybe the corner guest
    room on the second floor.
[04:23] Mismis
    Isn't it cold here, Nene?
[04:25] Nene
    It's cold, Captain.
[04:28] Mismis
    Huh?
[04:29] Grugell
    I found you, Imperial soldiers and Lady Sisbell.
[04:37] Grugell
    You escaped earlier, but you can't run
    for long with Lady Sisbell with you.
[04:44] Jhin
    Hey, grandma. You really
    are persistent, aren't you?
[04:48] Jhin
    Old people should be fast
    asleep this time of the hour.
[04:52] Grugell
    I would like to do just that.
[04:55] Grugell
    I have grown tired of chasing you.
[04:59] Grugell
    Hand over Lady Sisbell.
[05:01] Jhin
    Pass.
[05:04] Jhin
    Let's go!
[05:04] Mismis
    Yeah!
[05:04] Nene
    Yeah!
[05:04] Sisbell
    Yes!
[05:07] Grugell
    You little pipsqueaks!
[05:09] Mismis
    S-So many!
[05:12] Jhin
    Ignore it, boss!
[05:16] Jhin
    It feels like we're being hunted.
    She shouldn't underestimate us too much.
[05:21] Talisman
    I converted the wave energy
    into physical acceleration.
[05:28] Talisman
    Any astral mage with this type
    of astral spirit can do this.
[05:34] Iska
    Anyone? You're lying.
[05:36] Talisman
    It just requires training.
[05:47] Iska
    Just as I thought. It's not the
    initial speed that makes him fast.
[05:51] Iska
    His acceleration is through the roof.
[05:53] Iska
    It's enhanced by the astral spirit of waves!
[06:02] Talisman
    Physical conversion of waves.
[06:04] Talisman
    It took me six years to create this technique.
    And another eight to master it.
[06:10] Talisman
    Thirteen years to reach this palace.
[06:13] Talisman
    It took me nearly thirty years.
    Skillful I am not.
[06:20] Talisman
    But you can't get to this
    level with a normal mentality.
[06:25] Talisman
    Can you understand what I'm trying
    to say, young Saint Disciple?
[06:31] Iska
    I can't even evade it?!
[06:32] Talisman
    We are the same, walking the path of
    bloodshed, aiming to master ultimate power.
[06:42] Talisman
    Unfortunately, I'm older and well seasoned.
    You can see the difference.
[06:48] Iska
    Wait.
[06:49] Talisman
    What?
[06:54] Talisman
    I thought you took a direct hit.
[06:56] Iska
    I did.
[06:58] Talisman
    Then how can you stand back up?
[07:01] Iska
    If I didn't release the
    astral art, I was a goner.
[07:08] Talisman
    Beautiful! Just facing you gives me the shivers.
[07:12] Talisman
    Indeed, a terrifying opponent.
[07:14] Iska
    That'd be my line, you con artist.
[07:17] Iska
    How frustrating. I never
    thought I'd lose in speed.
[07:22] Iska
    I've never felt so aggravated in my life.
[07:25] Talisman
    What a great stage.
[07:27] Talisman
    This palace is built on a hill,
    so the sunrise must be beautiful.
[07:33] Iska
    A little ahead of yourself,
    aren't you? It's still midnight.
[07:38] Talisman
    That's why I must witness it.
[07:41] Talisman
    Tonight will be the last time
    the star, the Lou, will shine.
[07:46] Talisman
    The long night will finally come to an end.
[07:49] Iska
    Are you saying the queen will fall?
[07:53] Talisman
    I cannot say such a thing, but you're
    smart to understand what I said that way.
[07:58] Iska
    And then what?
[08:00] Talisman
    Isn't it obvious? When the starry night
    of the Lou ends, morning will come.
[08:06] Talisman
    It will be the start of the new world.
[08:11] Kissing
    I will eliminate you. Disappear from before me.
[08:16] Mei
    Whoa, scary.
[08:19] Mei
    I see, this is star-body astral
    spirit that interferes with matter.
[08:24] Mei
    Isn't that right, missy?
[08:26] Kissing
    Do you think that's going to save your life?
[08:30] Mei
    I heard second-gen astral spirits
    born from the depths of the planet
[08:34] Mei
    usually give their owners
    a purple-colored crest.
[08:36] Mei
    Lemme see it.
[08:38] Kissing
    Unfortunately, I am a lady.
[08:40] Kissing
    I have no intention of showing you my skin.
[08:44] Mei
    Lady? That's some talk coming from a
    bloody witch, like you're a human being.
[08:52] Mei
    I've always wanted a sample of a pureblood.
[08:55] Mei
    I'll find out where your astral crest is,
[08:58] Mei
    by ripping off that pretty dress of yours.
[09:05] Kissing
    Wonderful. It's as Uncle On told me.
[09:09] Kissing
    Imperial soldiers are savages.
[09:13] Kissing
    This is good.
[09:14] Kissing
    I can do terrible things
    without a care in the world.
[09:21] Kissing
    Disappear, Imperials.
[09:30] Mei
    How about I give you a hard lesson
    with shards of glass, missy?!
[09:41] Kissing
    She used my astral spirit's automatic
    defense to her advantage...
[09:44] Mei
    How lame. Your astral spirit looks strong,
    but you're a sheltered little girl.
[09:50] Mei
    Not knowing how to play mind games
    makes you less than a witch.
[09:54] Mei
    You're just a doll.
[09:56] Mei
    Kill her.
[09:58] Kissing
    Do not underestimate the
    descendant of the Founder.
[10:01] Captain
    Impossible!
[10:02] Imperial Soldier A
    Did she block all the bullets?!
[10:05] Kissing
    Even the Lous and Hydras don't have
    Zoa's control of astral power.
[10:09] Kissing
    Oh, that was a slip.
[10:12] Kissing
    Uncle On had told me not
    to tell anyone about this.
[10:18] Mei
    "Ruined King Hurricane," activate.
[10:23] Kissing
    Thorns! Rip that woman to—
[10:24] Mei
    Didn't I tell you? I'm gonna show you why
    they call me the "Incessant Tempest."
[10:30] Mei
    Looks like this is goodbye,
    my cute little witch.
[10:40] Masked Lord
    First, let me express my gratitude.
[10:42] Masked Lord
    The fate of this planet
    brought us a wonderful guest.
[10:50] Masked Lord
    What?
[10:52] Risya
    Oops, that was close.
[10:54] Risya
    So that's how this is going to play out?
[10:57] Risya
    Do you remember an Imperial
    soldier called Mismis?
[11:00] Masked Lord
    Mismis?
[11:01] Risya
    She's a captain from the Imperial
    army. You met her at Mudor Canyon.
[11:06] Risya
    The one you kicked into the Vortex.
[11:09] Risya
    We joined at the same time,
    so I've heard a lot about you.
[11:15] Masked Lord
    Ah, I remember now. That little lady.
[11:20] Masked Lord
    I see. If that's how you're connected,
    everything makes sense.
[11:25] Masked Lord
    What a surprise, though.
    Your friend is at a captain's level,
[11:30] Masked Lord
    but you were promoted to Saint Disciple?
[11:32] Risya
    Well, yes.
[11:34] Masked Lord
    I heard that the Imperial army
    is very competitive when it comes to rank.
[11:40] Masked Lord
    Many people must be jealous of you.
[11:43] Risya
    I'm used to it. After all, this is
    my fourth time being 22 years old.
[11:48] Masked Lord
    Is that so? Rather than a talented
    young lady, you're an old veteran, then.
[11:56] Risya
    No, no! I'm a lady!
[11:59] Risya
    It's my policy to start over
    before reaching my thirties.
[12:03] Risya
    Right now, I'm a lady in full bloom.
[12:08] Risya
    Now, then, the Eight Great Apostles
    gave me a quota of purebreds to capture.
[12:18] Masked Lord
    An Imperial soldier that uses astral art?
[12:22] Growley
    Allow me to measure the depth of your sin.
[12:29] Nameless
    Is this an embodiment of astral energy?
[12:32] Growley
    This is an avatar. You have committed a sin.
[12:38] Growley
    That sin has become your punishment.
[12:41] Growley
    Carelessly attacking me has become your undoing.
[12:47] Growley
    Can you escape from your own punishment?
[12:52] Nameless
    Punishment?
[12:55] Nameless
    Unfortunately, I don't plan
    on asking for forgiveness.
[12:58] Nameless
    Annoying.
[13:03] Nameless
    Pesky thing.
[13:09] Growley
    It's useless. This avatar is
    immune to all physical attacks.
[13:15] Nameless
    A counterattack-type astral spirit?
[13:18] Nameless
    Astral energy grows in response to the enemy.
[13:23] Nameless
    When it grows to a certain point,
    it takes on the form of a beast and attacks.
[13:28] Nameless
    The condition for its growth is if
    I damage you... and something else.
[13:35] Nameless
    There are multiple conditions.
    Something that you refer to as "sin."
[13:41] Growley
    I'll give you credit. You're pretty close.
[13:45] Growley
    I'll tell you one thing.
[13:48] Growley
    This avatar will grow indefinitely.
[13:52] Nameless
    Ugly astral spirit...
[13:54] Nameless
    Its ability to go through physical
    objects will be the death of you.
[14:09] Nameless
    Die with your astral spirit, demon.
[14:18] Alice
    Just as I thought. They're hiding
    in the dark to attack us!
[14:25] Alice
    How could this be?
[14:27] Rin
    Lady Alice! We don't know where
    the Imperial soldiers are hiding.
[14:31] Rin
    Please be careful.
[14:33] Astral Mage A
    You're safe, Lady Alice!
[14:35] Alice
    Tell me what you know of the situation.
[14:38] Astral Mage A
    Of course! The defense of the
    queen's palace is our top priority.
[14:43] Astral Mage B
    Lady Alice, please hurry!
    Please go to the queen!
[14:47] Astral Mage A
    We'll deal with the fires.
[14:50] Alice
    No, stop!
[14:56] Alice
    You two! Rin, where are the medics?!
[14:59] Alice
    Hurry!
[15:01] Rin
    Right!
[15:07] Alice
    Rin, take everyone to the shelter.
[15:11] Alice
    There should be doctors there.
[15:13] Alice
    I'll wait here.
[15:16] Rin
    But Lady Alice...
[15:19] Alice
    I'm calm.
[15:21] Alice
    I think I'm calm.
[15:24] Alice
    The castle should be well defended.
    This area has been hit the worst.
[15:35] Alice
    I'll extinguish the fires,
    so come back in 15 minutes!
[15:40] Rin
    As you wish!
[15:47] Rin
    If I'm even a minute late,
[15:49] Rin
    please head for the queen's
    palace by yourself, Lady Alice!
[15:54] Alice
    It's okay. I didn't make the wrong decision.
[15:59] Alice
    Even a Saint Disciple can't get to the
    queen's palace in such short time.
[16:04] Alice
    Everyone, listen up!
[16:07] Alice
    I'm going to extinguish the fire all at once!
[16:08] Alice
    It's dangerous, so get behind me immediately!
[16:15] Elletear
    First, they hit the fuel tanks
    in the quarantine warehouse.
[16:19] Elletear
    If a large fire was started using that fuel,
[16:22] Elletear
    even the best of the palace's elite would
    have difficulty putting it out.
[16:27] Elletear
    I'm glad the assault went successfully.
[16:33] Minister
    Lady Elletear! Lady Elletear!
[16:36] Elletear
    The only thing left is Lord Talisman's part.
    Hopefully he captured Sisbell.
[16:36] Minister
    We're being ambushed by the
    Imperial army! Please evacuate!
[16:39] Minister
    Lady Elletear, you must hurry!
[16:43] Elletear
    Minister...
[16:44] Minister
    Y-Yes, Lady Elletear? Come quickly!
[16:47] Elletear
    You needn't worry.
[16:49] Minister
    Huh?
[16:51] Elletear
    You evacuate and head to the shelter first.
[16:54] Elletear
    The enemy must be targeting the
    queen's palace, so stay away.
[16:59] Elletear
    There's no need for
    non-combatants to be injured.
[17:02] Minister
    B-But what will you do, Lady Elletear?
[17:04] Elletear
    I'll go there later.
[17:11] Minister
    Please, please be safe, Lady Elletear.
[17:18] Elletear
    Now... I wonder if the Saint Disciples
    were able to reach the queen's palace?
[17:22] Elletear
    It isn't my preference for
    many people to get hurt.
[17:25] Elletear
    I'd be happy if they can get
    rid of the queen quickly.
[17:30] Elletear
    I should also get ready.
[17:35] Elletear
    Alice, Sisbell, Mother...
[17:38] Elletear
    You will probably never understand me.
[17:43] Elletear
    This is my own way to cleanse the Sovereignty.
[17:47] Johaim
    Queen Nebulis, I don't plan on taking my time.
[17:52] Johaim
    Therefore,
[17:54] Johaim
    die here and now.
[17:56] Millavair
    Fall into the pits of hell!
[18:04] Johaim
    The Serene Wind, Milla. Contrary to
    that name, your astral art is aggressive.
[18:10] Millavair
    That was a decade ago.
[18:14] Johaim
    Millavair Lou Nebulis VIII.
[18:16] Johaim
    An astral mage with an astral
    spirit of air, sub-type of wind.
[18:22] Johaim
    You control air itself on a much
    larger scale, rather than just wind.
[18:27] Johaim
    You were 11 years old when
    you entered the battlefield.
[18:29] Johaim
    In the ten years since then, you fought
    more battles than any other pureblood,
[18:34] Johaim
    taking 3% of the Empire's territory.
[18:38] Johaim
    Despite being a witch,
[18:39] Johaim
    you were the Sovereignty's most
    skilled martial artist and assassin.
[18:43] Johaim
    You were considered the most powerful
    candidate for queen in history.
[18:48] Johaim
    However, you've gotten weaker.
[18:51] Millavair
    You speak of your imagination
    as if it's something you've seen yourself.
[18:56] Johaim
    It was actually seen
    by the people in this palace.
[19:00] Millavair
    I see.
[19:02] Millavair
    The guards haven't arrived yet?
[19:04] Millavair
    With such a loud rumble,
    guards nearby would have noticed.
[19:09] Millavair
    One must make choices. It doesn't
    matter if my power alone weakens.
[19:15] Millavair
    Have the other Saint Disciples infiltrated
    the palace and begun fighting?
[19:20] Millavair
    If I can protect the nation as queen,
    that is the right choice.
[19:25] Millavair
    She should already be here.
[19:28] Johaim
    Is your plan to wait for the Ice Calamity Witch?
[19:35] Millavair
    Bomb Cyclone!
[19:38] Millavair
    So there were conspirators.
[19:40] Johaim
    It's an information war. I don't intend
    to kill you by attacking head on.
[19:45] Millavair
    It must be Elletear.
[19:49] Johaim
    Prepare to die.
[19:50] Millavair
    I think you're underestimating me.
[19:54] Millavair
    I have no choice, since neither the
    guards nor Alice will be coming soon.
[20:00] Millavair
    I don't like the idea of destroying
    the Queen's Hall myself,
[20:07] Millavair
    but the show's over.
[20:12] Talisman
    This is a very, very ancient nation.
[20:16] Talisman
    The Lous and current queen hold balance
    in the war against the Empire.
[20:22] Talisman
    The Zoas continue to scream for
    revenge against the Empire.
[20:26] Talisman
    The Hydras have grown tired
    of this nation's situation.
[20:31] Talisman
    What do you think, Imperial soldier?
[20:35] Iska
    Is this really just a wave astral art?!
[20:39] Talisman
    Truly, you've got great eyes.
[20:43] Talisman
    You even saw this coming. Was it
    your hearing? No, did you feel it?
[20:49] Iska
    Both!
[20:58] Iska
    How many large waves are
    compressed on his fist?!
[21:03] Talisman
    Wonderful. It's as if you have
    Sonar from head to toe.
[21:10] Talisman
    Why do you risk your life
    protecting Lady Sisbell?
[21:15] Talisman
    How big a reward did she promise you?
[21:18] Iska
    You attacked us first.
[21:21] Iska
    Why wouldn't I chase away a violent mob?
[21:24] Talisman
    It may be too late, but you have it wrong.
[21:27] Talisman
    This is a palace owned by
    the Sovereignty's royalty.
[21:30] Talisman
    Ordinarily, no one would imagine
    Imperial soldiers being here.
[21:34] Iska
    Bull. Elletear must have told you.
[21:39] Iska
    Why did Elletear betray her own mother?
[21:43] Talisman
    What do you think of her beauty?
[21:45] Iska
    What?
[21:47] Talisman
    If there is such a thing as witchcraft,
    that would be what Elletear's beauty is.
[21:53] Talisman
    In front of her beauty, even the goddess
    herself would want to serve her.
[21:58] Talisman
    Her beauty must be a gift from the gods.
[22:02] Talisman
    However,
[22:05] Talisman
    she was not loved by the planet.
[22:08] Talisman
    You misunderstand one thing.
[22:11] Talisman
    The goals of Hydra and
    Elletear are not the same.
[22:15] Talisman
    We simply share the same first
    step in realizing our ideals.
[22:20] Iska
    And that's to overthrow the queen?
[22:23] Talisman
    If we can take out the current queen,
    the Sovereignty will temporarily weaken.
[22:28] Talisman
    It would give us an advantage in future battles.
[22:32] Iska
    Is that what you said to the Empire?
[22:36] Talisman
    I'll leave that to your imagination.
[22:39] Iska
    Let me answer one thing for you!
[22:43] Iska
    This isn't the kind of battle
    I want to have with the Sovereignty.
[22:47] Talisman
    What do you mean?
[22:49] Iska
    Nothing will change if you do
    things the way you're doing!
[22:53] Iska
    Both nations will continue to hurt,
    their relationship will worsen, and that's it.
[22:58] Iska
    That isn't it. That isn't
    the "end" I'm aiming for!
[23:04] Iska
    I don't want the Empire to fall,
    nor the Sovereignty!
[23:11] Talisman
    Such a romantic! You dream
    of a very sweet fantasy.
[23:16] Talisman
    You're full of romanticism,
    unfit for a destroyer such as yourself.
[23:19] Talisman
    However, the other Saint Disciples
    and the royals other than the Lous
[23:25] Talisman
    were longing for this day to come, I believe.
[23:28] Iska
    What does that mean?
[23:31] Talisman
    They wanted to compare. The decade-long
    question of who is superior?
[23:41] Talisman
    The Saint Disciples of the Empire,
[23:43] Talisman
    or the purebreds,
    the descendants of the Founder?
[23:47] Talisman
    They want to clarify,
    once and for all, which is better.
[23:53] Talisman
    That's what
[23:56] Talisman
    this night is about.
