[00:06] ---
To our victory!
[00:08] ---
Thanks be to our ancestral spirits!
[00:12] ---
I knew about that ability Frost Pain has.
[00:17] ---
"Icy Burst," right? I understand
it can only be used three times per day.
[00:21] ---
Pretty well known.
[00:22] ---
Hmph.
[00:23] ---
Heh, yeah, but did you know
that Frost Pain has the power
[00:28] ---
to protect its user from cold?
[00:30] ---
It's not without its drawbacks, though.
[00:33] ---
That last ace up his sleeve
he played was that power.
[00:42] ---
He's an awesome warrior.
[00:44] ---
Yeah. I'm proud to call him my brother.
[00:52] ---
Rororo, you did well, too.
[00:56] ---
What do you think will happen now?
[00:58] ---
It could be that nothing has ended yet.
[01:01] ---
This "Great One" fellow
might come and attack us now.
[01:05] ---
So, is Zaryusu still asleep?
[01:08] ---
Probably, since he hasn't come out yet.
[01:10] ---
Crusch was pretty exhausted, as well.
We can let them rest for a while.
[01:14] ---
Ho... Well, maybe I'll go peek in on them.
[01:17] ---
This feast isn't gonna pick up
without its major players here.
[01:21] ---
Don't make too much
of a nuisance of yourself.
[01:46] ---
Hey, you guys at it?!
[03:28] ---
Guardians of each floor,
thank you for assembling before me.
[03:33] ---
We'll start with you, Victim.
[03:38] ---
This is your first time
meeting everyone else, isn't it?
[03:44] ---
Pleasure to meet all of you.
[03:47] ---
I am Victim.
[03:49] ---
I've called you, the guardian of
the eighth floor, for one reason--
[03:53] ---
we still have not identified
the foe who went after Shalltear.
[03:57] ---
We must consider that an as-yet
unforeseen incident may occur.
[04:01] ---
As such, we require a powerful skill
that is invoked by your death
[04:05] ---
to protect all of the guardians,
myself included.
[04:10] ---
I am sorry. I promise
to bring you back to life right away,
[04:14] ---
so I hope you'll forgive me.
[04:15] ---
Do not let it bother you, Lord Ains.
I was born in order to die.
[04:21] ---
If that power will be
of assistance to the Supreme One,
[04:25] ---
nothing could give me more joy.
[04:27] ---
One of the catchphrases
that Nazarick used goes like this--
[04:32] ---
"Greater love hath no man than this,
[04:36] ---
that he lay down his life for his friends."
[04:40] ---
It is truly an expression
that fits you perfectly.
[04:43] ---
I am grateful for your love.
[04:45] ---
Your words are more than I deserve.
[04:48] ---
Next up, Demiurge.
[04:49] ---
My lord?
[04:50] ---
First, allow me to honor you
for always answering my call.
[04:55] ---
What are you saying?
It is only to be expected
[04:58] ---
that I should report to you
at once when you call, Lord Ains.
[05:01] ---
Yes. It is evident that the sheepskin
parchment that you brought
[05:05] ---
can stand up to use in lower-tier scrolls.
[05:09] ---
Can I count on a stable supply of it?
[05:12] ---
Yes. That will not be a problem.
[05:14] ---
I have acquired an ample number of them.
[05:17] ---
I see. So, what was the name
of these beasts, again?
[05:22] ---
Beasts? Ah...
[05:24] ---
As they are two-legged sheep
from the holy kingdom,
[05:26] ---
how does the name "Abelion Sheep" sound?
[05:30] ---
Indeed. Sheep, huh?
[05:32] ---
So the beasts are actually chimeras--
or rather, a subspecies.
[05:36] ---
In Yggdrasil, chimeras had
the heads of a lion and a goat,
[05:40] ---
and their tails were snakes.
He must be trying to indicate
[05:42] ---
that a beast with a sheep mixed in
is something different.
[05:45] ---
I think goats would be better, but very well.
Continue what you are doing.
[05:51] ---
Now, as for you, Shalltear...
[05:52] ---
Y-Yes?
[05:54] ---
Regarding the splinter
you have in your soul...
[05:57] ---
Ah, Lord Ains, after being appointed
to the position of guardian,
[06:00] ---
and then doing what I did,
[06:02] ---
I ask you to please give me a punishment
[06:04] ---
worthy of a reprehensible fool
such as myself!
[06:07] ---
All right. I will settle on one later
and give it to you.
[06:11] ---
Lastly, Cocytus...
[06:15] ---
You ended in defeat.
[06:17] ---
Yes, my lord. I am terribly sorry
for my offense. I was--
[06:22] ---
Cocytus! If you're going to apologize,
lift up your face!
[06:26] ---
I beg your pardon.
[06:27] ---
Cocytus, tell me the reason
why you were beaten.
[06:31] ---
Right. I am very sorry for
losing the army you entrusted to me.
[06:35] ---
Not that.
[06:37] ---
Let me state upfront
[06:39] ---
that I don't intend to come down
on you too hard for this defeat.
[06:47] ---
The reason being that I don't care
who you are, everyone makes mistakes.
[06:51] ---
That goes for me, as well.
[06:54] ---
That being said, I ask you, Cocytus,
how could you have won?
[07:02] ---
I underestimated the Lizard Men.
I should have acted more cautiously.
[07:07] ---
Mm-hmm, that is correct.
[07:09] ---
You must never underestimate someone,
no matter how weak they are.
[07:12] ---
Is there anything else?
[07:14] ---
Yes. I think I may have had
insufficient information.
[07:17] ---
The enemy's strength, the topography--
[07:20] ---
I have learned that without
making sure of such considerations,
[07:22] ---
the chances of my victory were lowered,
no matter what I did.
[07:25] ---
Mm-hmm.
[07:28] ---
Not having enough commanders
was also a problem.
[07:31] ---
Since they were all lower-level undead,
[07:33] ---
I should have put in place
those who could issue orders as necessary.
[07:37] ---
Anything besides that?
[07:38] ---
I apologize, but that is
all I can think of right now.
[07:43] ---
Outstanding!
[07:45] ---
Except for that Elder Lich,
they were all spawn undead.
[07:49] ---
Their demise has absolutely
no effect on Nazarick.
[07:53] ---
Considering what one of
my guardians has learned from this,
[07:56] ---
I will be getting change back from this deal.
[07:58] ---
Thank you very much, Lord Ains.
[08:00] ---
Be that as it may,
[08:02] ---
the fact remains that you lost,
and you must be punished.
[08:07] ---
Cocytus! You will personally
mop up that sludge!
[08:12] ---
Exterminate the Lizard Men!
[08:15] ---
This time, without relying on anyone else.
[08:20] ---
A fantastic idea! Cocytus will expunge
his sin of being defeated,
[08:25] ---
along with all of the Lizard Men!
[08:28] ---
Lord Ains...
[08:30] ---
I have a request I would like to make.
[08:33] ---
I beg of you, Lord Ains...
[08:37] ---
You, who have brought defeat
to glorious Nazarick,
[08:40] ---
dare to petition Lord Ains?!
Remember where your place is!
[08:46] ---
--Cocytus--
--It's all right, Albedo.
[08:49] ---
Would you lift up your face, Cocytus,
and tell me what your request is?
[08:58] ---
Well, Cocytus? I simply
want to know what you're thinking,
[09:03] ---
and what you would like to say.
[09:06] ---
I am against killing all of the Lizard Men.
I beg you, show them mercy.
[09:11] ---
Cocytus, do you realize what you're saying?!
[09:15] ---
Albedo, do not get in the middle of this.
[09:18] ---
I beg your pardon. Please forgive me.
[09:20] ---
Now then, Cocytus, you must have
a pretty good reason for your request.
[09:26] ---
Something that will benefit
the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
[09:30] ---
Tell me what that is.
[09:31] ---
Yes, my lord.
[09:32] ---
There is a chance that valiant warriors
will appear among their number.
[09:37] ---
In my judgment,
it will be more beneficial to us
[09:39] ---
to have the Lizard Men
pledge loyalty to Nazarick,
[09:42] ---
and make them our subordinates.
[09:44] ---
That is indeed a convincing proposal.
[09:47] ---
If we were to use the Lizard Man
corpses to create undead,
[09:51] ---
they would only be of about the same level
as those from human corpses.
[09:55] ---
As such, there is no reason
to insist on Lizard Man corpses.
[09:59] ---
In that case...
[10:00] ---
However! It would be more cost-effective
to use undead created by me
[10:03] ---
than it would be
to leave the Lizard Men alive.
[10:09] ---
If there are any other benefits,
I'd like to hear them.
[10:13] ---
--Well, I...
--How about it, Cocytus?
[10:17] ---
If you have nothing more, than you won't
mind exterminating then, yes?
[10:22] ---
I see. That's too bad.
[10:24] ---
Lord Ains?
[10:26] ---
What is it, Demiurge?
[10:27] ---
My lord,
[10:29] ---
what if we were to use the Lizard Men
in a governability experiment?
[10:33] ---
Ho, now this sounds like
an interesting idea.
[10:36] ---
Yes. The time will likely come
[10:38] ---
when we will be handling
different races and powers.
[10:41] ---
I humbly submit that we ought to
perform an experiment in governing
[10:44] ---
in which we rule the Lizard Men's villages
by means other than fear
[10:48] ---
for when that time comes.
[10:50] ---
A terrific suggestion, Demiurge!
[10:53] ---
Thank you very much.
[10:55] ---
We will then accept Demiurge's proposal,
[10:58] ---
and shift from exterminating
the Lizard Men to occupying them.
[11:02] ---
Yes, my lord!
[11:03] ---
Demiurge, I'm impressed.
[11:06] ---
How can you say that, Lord Ains?
[11:08] ---
I am sure that you were already
aware of my modest proposal.
[11:12] ---
You were simply waiting
for Cocytus, were you not?
[11:15] ---
Hmph, you give me
too much credit. All I wanted...
[11:21] ---
...was for him to display some of his own
thinking, regardless of what it was.
[11:26] ---
Listen to me, guardians!
[11:28] ---
Orders are not things for you
to blindly obey and carry out.
[11:33] ---
You must mull them over
a little bit before you act!
[11:37] ---
Consider what will lead to
the greatest benefit for Nazarick!
[11:42] ---
Yes, my lord!
[11:43] ---
Now then, Cocytus, consequently,
your punishment must now be changed.
[11:48] ---
You will govern the Lizard Men,
[11:51] ---
and instill loyalty
toward Nazarick within them.
[11:53] ---
Rule through fear is forbidden.
[11:56] ---
As you wish.
[11:58] ---
I, Cocytus, promise to work hard enough
[12:01] ---
to measure up to the great mercy
you have shown me, Lord Ains.
[12:05] ---
All right, guardians,
I order you all to move out.
[12:09] ---
One team as a decoy, and another
to flaunt our power to the Lizard Men.
[12:15] ---
Albedo, make ready our soldiers.
Activate Gargantua, as well.
[12:20] ---
As you command.
[12:22] ---
Can I also assume that by sending a decoy,
[12:23] ---
you are considering that there is
someone who enjoys peeking at us,
[12:26] ---
and are giving the wrong impression
as to our true intentions?
[12:31] ---
That is correct.
[12:32] ---
Very good.
[12:34] ---
All right, everyone, time to get moving!
[12:39] ---
I'm grateful to you, Demiurge.
[12:41] ---
There's no need for that, Cocytus.
[12:44] ---
For you see, this is probably
the outcome that Lord Ains desired.
[12:48] ---
Huh?
[12:49] ---
You're saying that everything
is going according to Lord Ains' plan?
[12:53] ---
Leave it to Lord Ains!
[12:55] ---
B-But then, um, I mean, I'm just saying,
[13:00] ---
did he assume ahead of time
that Cocytus would lose?
[13:04] ---
Not so much lose, perhaps,
[13:06] ---
as he may have been entertaining
the idea that Cocytus would
[13:09] ---
probe the Lizard Men's strength,
[13:10] ---
and recommend whether or not
they could beat them.
[13:13] ---
That's Lord Ains for you!
He truly is beyond incredible!
[13:16] ---
It's fair to say that his assumption
[13:20] ---
of the role of coordinator for
the Supreme Ones was not just for show!
[13:39] ---
Wow, that was amazing! I didn't expect
Cocytus to say what he did.
[13:44] ---
In Yggdrasil, if you do anything
you don't have the skills for,
[13:46] ---
it's sure to end in failure.
[13:48] ---
But if he can gain tactics
and strategies from this experience,
[13:51] ---
that goes to prove that
we have the potential to grow.
[13:56] ---
But growth means change.
[13:59] ---
I can't even say that the absolute loyalty
of the guardians will never change.
[14:03] ---
Ah! That's scary stuff!
[14:06] ---
I wonder if there's anyone around
who can teach me kingcraft.
[14:10] ---
Now, it's about time
I got ready to move out.
[14:15] ---
Hmm?
[14:21] ---
There's a floral scent.
Have they sprinkled perfume on the bed?
[14:26] ---
Is this what wealthy people's beds are like?
[14:29] ---
If so, maybe I should keep that in mind
when pretending to be rich.
[14:36] ---
I had anticipated this,
[14:39] ---
but this is too soon.
[14:41] ---
Huh? It can't be.
[14:43] ---
I-Impossible.
[14:45] ---
Have you noticed it, too?
That is all magic equipment.
[14:50] ---
A mythical army.
[14:56] ---
What's with this cold wind?
[14:58] ---
This isn't possible.
[15:01] ---
The only thing that can
produce wind like this
[15:04] ---
is sixth tier magic or better--
"Control Weather."
[15:07] ---
Sixth tier?
[15:10] ---
This is the power
of the so-called "Great One"?
[15:15] ---
Remain calm!
[15:17] ---
Do not be intimidated, warriors!
[15:21] ---
Refrain from any actions
[15:23] ---
that would disappoint
the many ancestral spirits behind you!
[15:29] ---
What do you think?
[15:30] ---
They're making a move,
[15:33] ---
but they don't appear
to be preparing for battle.
[15:36] ---
What are they planning to do?
[15:39] ---
Hmm...
[15:49] ---
Is this the ruler of death?
[15:57] ---
What is that, exactly?
[15:59] ---
I don't know. I don't know what that is.
[16:12] ---
Everyone, hurry and get to higher ground!
[16:22] ---
We can be sure this is
the "Great One," all right.
[16:27] ---
Most likely.
[16:28] ---
I'm sold. From where that monster stands,
we might as well be dung.
[16:34] ---
Hmm?
[16:36] ---
What is that?
[16:38] ---
What is that thing?!
[17:19] ---
It can't be...
[17:31] ---
A royal procession?
[18:03] ---
We bring you the words of the Great One.
[18:06] ---
The Great One wishes to converse with you.
[18:09] ---
Let your delegate step forward at once.
[18:13] ---
Know that time that is wasted
is displeasing to the Great One.
[18:25] ---
H-He used all those monsters
simply for that?
[18:31] ---
Zaryusu...
[18:34] ---
My brother...
[18:36] ---
...will you come with me?
[18:38] ---
Mm-hmm.
[18:42] ---
Zaryusu...
[18:43] ---
Crusch,
[18:44] ---
I'll be back.
[18:46] ---
Be careful.
[18:55] ---
Thanks.
[18:56] ---
Considering their numbers,
[18:58] ---
they may think you going alone
to be disrespectful, Brother.
[19:02] ---
Besides, if we are killed
to make an example, I, as a traveler,
[19:06] ---
will not be missed in regard
to the unity of the tribes.
[19:11] ---
I am the representative
of the Lizard Men, Shasuryu Shasha!
[19:15] ---
And this is the mightiest
of the Lizard Men...
[19:19] ---
...Zaryusu Shasha!
[19:22] ---
Our master does not feel that
your posture is conducive to listening.
[19:28] ---
Demiurge?
[19:30] ---
Prostrate yourselves!
[19:34] ---
Do not resist!
[19:38] ---
Lord Ains, they have
adopted a listening posture.
[19:41] ---
Good work. Lift up their heads.
[19:44] ---
You are permitted to lift your heads!
[19:48] ---
I am the master of the Great Tomb
of Nazarick, Ains Ooal Gown.
[19:53] ---
First, I express my gratitude to you
for assisting with my experiment.
[19:59] ---
Now, onto the main subject.
[20:02] ---
You will fall under my rule.
[20:05] ---
Wha--?
[20:06] ---
However, it is likely...
[20:08] ---
...that you do not wish
to come under the rule of someone
[20:10] ---
against whom you have achieved victory.
[20:14] ---
Thus, in four hours, I will attack again.
[20:18] ---
The attacker will be one of
my trusted aides, Cocytus, on his own.
[20:23] ---
If you are able
to prevail against him, as well,
[20:27] ---
I promise to henceforth
leave you completely alone.
[20:32] ---
We surrender--
[20:33] ---
I would prefer you
not suggest something as tedious
[20:37] ---
as to surrender without fighting!
[20:39] ---
You're making an example of us?
[20:41] ---
I am done speaking. You have four hours.
Enjoy them while you can.
[20:47] ---
I ask that you wait! Will this ice melt?
[20:50] ---
Ah, that's right.
[20:52] ---
I simply did not want to
dirty myself with your mud.
[20:55] ---
I will dispel the effect of the magic later.
[21:00] ---
Farwell then, Lizard Men. Gate!
[21:04] ---
Goodbye, Lizard Men.
[21:07] ---
See you!
[21:09] ---
This is goodbye.
[21:10] ---
Um, er... well, please take care.
[21:14] ---
I bid you farewell.
[21:17] ---
You are free to move.
[21:19] ---
Do try to enjoy yourselves, Lizard Men.
[21:26] ---
Damn them!
[21:29] ---
This amounts to a ritual
sacrifice, doesn't it?
[21:32] ---
So, what do we do?
[21:33] ---
Call all of the warrior class
Lizard Men to arms.
[21:37] ---
In addition, we have those of us here--
[21:39] ---
Could I ask that it just be five of us?
[21:42] ---
Hmm?
[21:43] ---
If their goal is to demonstrate
their overwhelming power,
[21:48] ---
they are unlikely to kill us all.
If that's the case,
[21:51] ---
we will need a central figure
for the survivors to organize around.
[21:55] ---
A sound argument.
[21:56] ---
Mm-hmm. However, Zaryusu...
[21:59] ---
Why not? I agree with him.
[22:02] ---
Then that's what we'll do.
Crusch would be suitable.
[22:05] ---
Just a minute!
[22:06] ---
I'm going to fight, too!
[22:08] ---
Zaryusu, why would you
say such a thing at this point?
[22:11] ---
Because we've been given
a chance to survive.
[22:15] ---
Don't give me that!
[22:18] ---
Zaryusu, you convince her.
[22:21] ---
I'll see you again in four hours.
[22:35] ---
Crusch, please understand.
[22:38] ---
There's no way I can understand!
Besides, there's no guarantee we'll lose!
[22:42] ---
With my priestly powers, we might win!
[22:46] ---
I don't want to let
the female I'm in love with die.
[22:52] ---
Please grant the wish of this foolish male.
[22:59] ---
That's not fair...
[23:02] ---
I'm sorry.
[23:05] ---
You'll probably be killed.
[23:08] ---
--Yeah.
--And you're asking me to watch you die?
[23:12] ---
After we've become
so attached to each other?
[23:14] ---
Yeah.
[23:16] ---
I'm so happy that we met each other...
[23:19] ---
...but also, so sad.
[23:37] ---
Impregnate me!
[23:39] ---
