SIGN    I have updates.
SIGN    The 4th, 8th, and 10th Corps are ready for deployment.
[00:06] Ariel
    Thanks for that. Sounds like the
    combat forces are all set to go.
SIGN    Can I ask you something?
[00:12] Ariel
    What's up?
SIGN    Our forces will be passing through Queen Taratect territory during the march.
[00:19] Ariel
    They're my offspring, y'know.
[00:28] Ariel
    All spider monsters will do as I say.
[00:32] Ariel
    You don't need to sweat it.
    Just get our guys where they're going.
SIGN    All right.
[00:37] Ariel
    Though I can remember one who
    wasn't quite so obedient.
[00:42] Ariel
    Anyway, let's get a move on.
[00:44] Ariel
    We're taking the elf village down next.
[00:55] K
    It's great to be alive.
SIGN    What Am I, Doing?
[02:29] Basgath
    That oughta do it. I don't
    sense any more monsters.
[02:34] Hyrince
    Is everyone all right?
[02:39] Shun
    Yeah.
[02:40] Fil
    The monsters themselves aren't
    that dangerous, to be honest.
[02:44] Katia
    But it's really oppressive in here.
[02:46] Katia
    Despite how massive this place is,
    the darkness makes it feel claustrophobic.
[02:50] Fei
    And these things popping out of nowhere
    are enough to give you a heart attack!
[02:54] Fei
    Come on, old timer, let's get a move on.
[02:56] Basgath
    Nah. We're resting here for today.
[03:00] Fei
    What are you talking about?
[03:02] Fei
    We haven't even been in here that long.
[03:05] Shun
    We're still good to keep traveling.
[03:07] Shun
    The monsters haven't been
    that strong, so far.
[03:12] Basgath
    It's been five hours since
    we entered the labyrinth.
[03:17] Basgath
    I've seen plenty of adventurers
    through the labyrinth,
[03:20] Basgath
    but you folks are the first group
    to make it so far, so fast.
[03:23] Basgath
    It really shows that you've got
    your act together. That said...
[03:28] Basgath
    The monsters aren't the only
    thing to worry about down here.
[03:32] Hyrince
    Labyrinth sickness, right?
[03:34] Katia
    Labyrinth sickness?
[03:36] Basgath
    Yep. Not a single ray of
    sunlight reaches down here.
[03:40] Basgath
    It screws with your sense of time,
[03:42] Basgath
    and you have to constantly
    be on alert for monsters.
[03:45] Basgath
    And that's on top of how suffocating it is.
[03:48] Basgath
    The more you rush to get through,
    the more you wear yourself out mentally,
[03:51] Basgath
    and risk getting sick as a result.
[03:53] Basgath
    That's labyrinth sickness.
[03:55] Basgath
    No rushing.
[03:57] Basgath
    You wanna get out of this hole alive,
[03:59] Basgath
    you tackle one thing at a time,
     as steady as possible.
[04:07] Fei
    Shun?
[04:10] Shun
    Understood.
[04:17] Shun
    Where am I...
[04:23] Shun
    Who is that?
[04:26] Woman
    Proficiency threshold reached.
[04:29] Woman
    Proficiency threshold reached.
[04:31] Woman
    Proficiency threshold reached.
[04:33] Woman
    Proficiency threshold reached.
[04:37] Woman
    It hurts.
[04:43] Shun
    Just a dream?
[04:46] Fil
    Are you okay?
[04:48] Shun
    Sensei?
[04:50] Fil
    You were pretty restless.
[04:53] Shun
    It's okay. Just had a bad dream.
[04:58] Basgath
    I don't like the sound of that.
[05:00] Shun
    You don't?
[05:02] Basgath
    Damn right.
[05:04] Basgath
    You ever hear about the Nightmare
    of the Labyrinth?
[05:07] Shun
    No.
[05:08] Fil
    Isn't that the name of the
    legendary-class monster
[05:11] Fil
    that suddenly appeared in the
    labyrinth over ten years ago?
[05:14] Shun
    Legendary?
[05:17] Shun
    The kind that humans can't deal with...
[05:19] Shun
    A monster with a threat
    level rank higher than S?
[05:22] Basgath
    Yeah.
[05:23] Basgath
    It's as a living calamity as dangerous as
    the most powerful of the Queen Taratects.
[05:29] Basgath
    They say having bad dreams is a sign
    that the Nightmare might appear.
[05:34] Fil
    I thought that monster was
    supposed to have died.
[05:38] Basgath
    That's what folks believe.
[05:41] Basgath
    But I don't buy that abomination
    going down so easily.
[05:45] Shun
    You make it sound like you've
    run into it before.
[05:48] Basgath
    Yeah, because it turns out, I was the
    first one to see the damn thing.
[05:55] Shun
    That's amazing.
[05:57] Basgath
    I still remember the moment it happened.
[06:00] Basgath
    When I met its gaze... I felt like
    I could've died at any second.
[06:06] Shun
    I'm impressed you managed to survive.
[06:09] Basgath
    Well, that's the weird
    thing about the Nightmare.
[06:12] Basgath
    If you don't attack it first,
    it won't make a move on you.
[06:16] Basgath
    Sometimes it even heals the wounded.
[06:19] Basgath
    Outside of the labyrinth,
    it's caused major trouble,
[06:23] Basgath
    and even rescued people for some reason.
[06:26] Basgath
    Nobody can tell what the
    hell that thing is trying to do.
[06:29] Shun
    Is it... really a monster?
[06:32] Basgath
    The only thing anyone can say for sure about
    the Nightmare is that it's damn strong.
[06:37] Basgath
    Your party's pretty tough, boy,
    but there's always a bigger fish.
[06:41] Basgath
    You'd do well to remember
    that there are some foes
[06:44] Basgath
    that you don't stand a chance against.
[06:48] Shun
    I know all about that already.
[06:52] Shun
    But still, I have to try!
[06:57] Basgath
    Yeah? Well, try not to get
    yourself killed, at least.
[07:01] Basgath
    It doesn't take much for people to die.
[07:05] Basgath
    And how ass backwards would it
    be to die of trying too hard?
[07:09] Basgath
    There's no shame in running
    from something you can't beat.
[07:13] Basgath
    And you can always run, get stronger,
    and take it on another day.
[07:18] Shun
    But what if it's a fight where a lot
    of peoples lives hang in the balance,
[07:22] Shun
    and you can't run?
[07:25] Shun
    What if that's the kind of responsibility
    you're fighting with—
[07:28] Basgath
    Then you stop worrying about
    crap like that and run anyway.
[07:32] Basgath
    If anyone ever holds your
    desire to live against you,
[07:35] Basgath
    you tell them to fight instead.
[07:38] Basgath
    But if you still think
    you've gotta fight anyway,
[07:42] Basgath
    then that's nobody else's business.
[07:46] Basgath
    In the end, the thing that matters
    most is what you really want to do.
[07:53] Shun
    Thank you for the advice, Basgath-san.
[07:56] Shun
    But I don't think I can run after all.
[08:00] Shun
    Because I'm the Hero!
[08:03] Basgath
    Yeah? Well, suit yourself.
[08:06] Basgath
    Okay, it's about time we get moving.
[08:09] Basgath
    Rise and shine!
[08:10] Basgath
    We're moving out.
[08:12] Basgath
    Get a move on, or we're leaving you behind.
[08:15] Fil
    What you really want to do...
[08:20] Basgath
    We've got a few options coming up.
[08:22] Basgath
    There's the dangerous, fastest course.
[08:25] Basgath
    The relatively safe, but slower course.
[08:27] Basgath
    And then the course where I dunno
     what the hell will happen,
[08:29] Basgath
    or how dangerous it might be.
[08:31] Basgath
    Which is it gonna be?
[08:33] Katia
    Exactly how dangerous
    is the shortest course?
[08:36] Basgath
    The path itself gives plenty of leeway,
[08:38] Basgath
    but it's crawling with monsters a lot
    tougher than what we've faced so far.
[08:45] Basgath
    We're talking about tons of monsters
    who are on par with dragons.
[08:45] (Flashback) Fei
    Nice work, guys!
[08:47] (Flashback) Katia
    It was nothing.
[08:49] Fei
    What about the safer, slower path?
[08:52] Hyrince
    What kind of delay are we talking about?
[08:55] Basgath
    We're looking at a four-day difference.
[08:57] Shun
    That's a big detour.
[09:03] Katia
    Here.
[09:04] Anna
    Thank you.
[09:05] Shun
    What about the other course?
[09:07] Basgath
    As for that... I'll be blunt,
    I don't want to screw with it.
[09:11] Fei
    That's a little too blunt.
[09:14] Basgath
    That area is where the Nightmare
    used to make its home.
[09:18] Basgath
    It might be gone,
[09:20] Basgath
    but there are monsters know as
    Nightmare's Vestiges still hanging around...
[09:23] Shun
    Vestiges?
[09:25] Shun
    Are they strong?
[09:27] Basgath
    Yeah. And they're trouble, too.
[09:30] Basgath
    They leave you alone if you leave
    them alone, like the Nightmare.
[09:34] Basgath
    The problem is, they spin webs all over
     the place that are hard to see.
[09:39] Basgath
    And if you cut those down, they attack.
[09:42] Katia
    Webs?
[09:44] Basgath
    Yeah. See, the Nightmare's a spider monster.
[09:48] Basgath
    That goes for the Vestiges, too.
[09:50] Basgath
    These webs are practically invisible,
    but durable and sticky as hell.
[09:54] Basgath
    Get caught on one, and getting
    out becomes a real problem.
[09:58] Basgath
    In the old days, common sense said you burn
    down spider nests when you come across them.
[10:01] Basgath
    But now? You see a spider's web,
     you run like hell.
[10:07] Hyrince
    We're better off not trying that route.
[10:10] Hyrince
    Julius and I hunted a
    Nightmare's Vestige once...
[10:15] Hyrince
    And we were lucky to win the battle.
[10:19] Shun
    Even for you and Julius-niisama?
[10:21] Basgath
    So where are we going?
[10:22] Fei
    Well, if we rule the last route out...
[10:25] Anna
    Let's take the shortest course.
[10:27] Shun
    You're sure?
[10:29] Anna
    Yes.
[10:32] Shun
    Let's take the shortest course, then.
[10:38] Basgath
    We're coming up on the short route.
     Keep your wits about you.
[10:51] Shun
    What is it?
[10:53] Basgath
    Something's odd. I don't sense any monsters.
[10:56] Basgath
    Reminds me a lot of when
    I ran into the Nightmare.
[11:02] Hyrince
    Everyone, get back!
[11:08] Basgath
    A damned earth dragon?!
[11:09] Basgath
    If it's here on the upper stratum,
    it must've just evolved!
[11:14] Shun
    It's average speed is 3,600...
[11:17] Shun
    Guys, it's fast!
[11:25] Basgath
    It's tough!
[11:39] Fil
    It has the Imperial Scales skill!
    Magic isn't going to be very effective!
[11:44] Anna
    Maybe this will!
[11:50] Shun
    It's got a resistance to lightning!
[11:53] Shun
    That goes for earth, too.
    Use magic with other attributes!
[11:55] Shun
    Katia and the other magic users,
    keep it from advancing on us!
[11:57] Shun
    You, too, Basgath-san!
[11:59] Basgath
    Yeah, you got it!
[12:04] Shun
    Magic won't work, and its
    defenses are too strong!
[12:07] Shun
    The only one of us with a physical
    attack that can do real damage is...
[12:22] Basgath
    Damn...
[12:34] Hyrince
    The Steel Body skill!
[12:36] Shun
    You little cheater!
[12:38] Fei
    Go for it, Sensei, Katia!
[12:40] Fil
    Roger that!
[12:51] Hyrince
    Here it comes!
[12:54] Basgath
    Hey, kid!
[12:55] Anna
    Schlain-sama!
[13:00] Shun
    Holy Light Beam!
[13:12] Voice
    Experience threshold has been reached.
SIGN    <Schlain Zagan Analeit LV28->LV29>
     :All core stats have increased.

[13:14] Voice
    Schlain Zagan Analeit is now Level 29.
[13:18] Voice
    You have obtained the title Dragon Slayer.
[13:21] Voice
    Due to the effect of Dragon Slayer,
[13:23] Voice
    you have obtained the skills
    Ultimate Life Level 1 and Dragon Power Level 1.
[13:29] Katia
    Dragon Slayer?
[13:31] Katia
    I suppose we're part of a legend, now.
[13:35] Fil
    Did we all just receive that title?
[13:40] Basgath
    Damn...
[13:41] Basgath
    I wasn't sure how that was gonna turn out.
[13:44] Basgath
    We got lucky that it was at such a low level.
[13:48] Hyrince
    Dragon Slayer, eh?
[13:49] Hyrince
    We never managed that in Julius's party.
[13:53] Hyrince
    I've got a good story to tell when
    I see him on the other side!
[13:56] Hyrince
    You did a great job!
[13:58] Shun
    Aw, cut it out!
[14:07] Fil
    The Nightmare's Vestiges!
[14:11] Vestiges
    Hero?
[14:12] Vestiges
    Hero.
[14:14] Vestiges
    Ruler?
[14:16] Vestiges
    Ruler.
[14:17] Vestiges
    Ruler. Ruler. Ruler. Ruler. Ruler...
[14:21] Vestiges
    Can't appraise?
[14:23] Vestiges
    Can't appraise. Can't appraise.
    Can't appraise. Can't appraise...
[14:28] Vestiges
    Reincarnations?
[14:29] Vestiges
    Reincarnations. Reincarnations.
    Reincarnations. Reincarnations...
[14:33] Vestiges
    Reincarnations... but weak?
[14:35] Vestiges
    Weak. Weak. Weak. Weak. Weak. Weak.
    Weak. Weak. Weak. Weak. Weak...
[14:35] Fei
    What's with these things?
[14:41] Shun
    You know about reincarnations?!
[14:44] Vestiges
    We do. We do. We do. We do.
[14:46] Vestiges
    How could we not? We know. We do.
[14:48] Shun
    How do you know about us?!
[14:50] Vestiges
    Master.
[14:51] Vestiges
    Master.
[14:52] Vestiges
    Mother.
[14:53] Shun
    And your Master is a reincarnation?!
[14:55] Vestiges
    You'll see soon.
[14:56] Vestiges
    You'll see soon.
[14:58] Vestiges
    It won't be long.
[14:59] Vestiges
    Won't be long.
[14:59] Vestiges
    Tell you... Let you know...
[15:01] Vestiges
    The beginning of the end.
[15:03] Vestiges
    The world will begin.
[15:04] Vestiges
    The world will end.
[15:06] Shun
    Wait! What do you mean?!
[15:08] Vestiges
    There's no point in knowing.
[15:09] Vestiges
    You'll die anyway.
[15:10] Vestiges
    Everyone will die.
[15:11] Vestiges
    Just try to survive.
[15:20] Basgath
    You stupid bastard!
[15:22] Hyrince
    Basgath-dono!
[15:24] Basgath
    Didn't I tell you that when you run into the
    Nightmare's Vestiges, you leave them alone?!
[15:30] Shun
    I'm sorry...
[15:32] Shun
    But I had to know!
[15:36] Basgath
    Even if it got you killed?!
[15:42] Basgath
    You wanna die, boy, be my guest.
[15:44] Basgath
    But commit suicide on your own!
[15:47] Fil
    Basgath-san! That's going too far.
[15:52] Fei
    Well, we all survived,
    so I say it worked out okay!
[15:55] Fei
    We might've been able to handle one,
[15:56] Fei
    but if that entire swarm came after us,
     we would've been done for.
[16:00] Shun
    I'm sorry.
[16:03] Shun
    The beginning of the end...
    and everyone dies, huh?
[16:33] Shun
    Wh-What is it?
[16:39] Katia
    Is something wrong?
[16:41] Shun
    No...
[16:44] Shun
    I've been having strange dreams ever
    since we entered the labyrinth.
[16:48] Shun
    I hadn't dreamed about my
    past life in years.
[16:53] Shun
    Why would I dream about Spooky?
[17:01] Katia
    That is... a very big hole.
[17:03] Basgath
    The old master of this labyrinth,
    a Queen Taratect, blew that hole open.
[17:09] Basgath
    A bunch of monsters called Finjicotes have
    been making their nests around here since.
[17:15] Basgath
    One or two of them at a time is nothing,
[17:18] Basgath
    but getting out means scaling the walls of
    the cave while taking on the entire swarm.
[17:21] Basgath
    So nobody has ever really used it as an exit...
[17:24] Basgath
    Until now.
[17:27] Basgath
    Which means you're up.
[17:29] Fei
    I'm on it!
[17:31] Fei
    But, uh, first could you...
[17:37] Katia
    Do not turn around, and do not hear a thing.
[17:41] Shun
    All right already...
[17:43] Fei
    All set! Hop aboard.
[17:58] Hyrince
    What is it, Shun?
[18:00] Shun
    Well, I just realized I'm
    riding on a girl's back.
[18:04] Katia
    Could you please stop having
    strange fantasies?!
[18:07] Katia
    Consider the situation!
[18:09] Shun
    I wasn't joking around!
[18:11] Fei
    No domestic disputes on my back, please.
[18:15] Fei
    Unless you want to get dropped.
[18:16] Shun
    Sorry...
[18:18] Fei
    Ugh, these things are so annoying!
[18:22] Fei
    We're headed straight out
    of here! Hang on tight!
[18:41] Shun
    This is the continent of Kasanagara?
[18:45] Anna
    I can see the elf village from here!
[18:54] K
    I would've been dead if it wasn't for the
    Immortality skill and HP Auto-Recovery.
[19:00] K
    Kinda surprised to learn that Auto-Recovery
[19:03] K
    can literally grow your
    body back, to be honest.
[19:05] K
    "Two things to bring with
     When you're in another world..."
[19:07] K
    "Eternal life and heals."
[19:09] K
    Too many syllables for a haiku.
[19:12] K
    It's taken so long for my head
    to grow all the way back...
[19:16] K
    I wonder how long the rest
    of my body will take.
[19:21] K
    Yeah, Dark Magic for you.
[19:24] K
    At least I can still use magic like this.
[19:28] K
    I could probably use healing
    magic to speed this up,
[19:32] K
    but even then, it'd take a while,
[19:34] K
    and wasting MP could cost
    me my life right now.
[19:38] K
    Plus, even with my body back,
    if you-know-who shows up again...
[19:45] K
    I managed to get out of the Great Elroe
    Labyrinth, but then I had to deal with Mother.
[19:49] K
    And just when I figure out to deal
    with her, next is the Demon Lord?!
[19:53] K
    This game is shit! What the hell's the
    Demon Lord got against me, anyway?!
[19:58] K
    I mean, I can kinda guess!
    Her race was "Origin Taratect."
[20:03] K
    That "Origin" probably means she's the boss
    spider that even Mother steps in line for!
[20:07] K
    I bet Mother must've made a call for help!
[20:11] K
    What a little snitch! Unbelievable!
[20:16] K
    I should be glad the Demon Lord
     didn't break out
[20:20] K
    the Abyss Magic on me, at least...
     since she had it.
[20:24] K
    The secret effect of Abyss Magic
    is the dissolution of the soul.
[20:28] K
    It's the ultimate murder magic,
    which destroys even the soul.
[20:31] K
    If she uses that on me...
[20:35] K
    So I'm an Immortal, so What?
[20:40] K
    Crap, crap, crap! If she figures out I'm alive,
     I'm gonna be really dead next time!
[20:45] K
    I can't rely on the Immortality skill,
    so I better think up something.
[20:53] K
    A way for me to survive
    having my soul destroyed...
[20:57] K
    Maybe like when when
    I reincarnated as a spider?
[21:01] K
    I could move my soul into
    a different body.
[21:04] K
    I was able to have my Parallel Minds
     invade Mother.
[21:09] K
    Come to think of it,
    I wonder how they're doing.
[22:47] Ariel
    What is this?
[22:50] Ariel
    I should have killed her.
    Why is the attack continuing?
[22:58] Ariel
    Did she survive my attack somehow?
SIGN    Body
[23:04] Body K
    Body!
[23:13] Ariel
    An invasion of the body that even
    skills can't make possible!
[23:16] Ariel
    And it was somehow effective? On me?
[23:20] Ariel
    Of all the insolent...
[23:24] Ariel
    I can't remove it! She has to die!
[23:28] Ariel
    I need to find the main body
     and destroy it!
SIGN    Next time on
    So I'm a Spider, So What?
SIGN    You Guys Are Kind of Awful, Huh?
SIGN    See you next time!
