[00:01] Narrator
    The Thirteen Apostles.
[00:03] Narrator
    An elite group of Sorcerers who serve the
    court of Mebrenst, the royal capital.
[00:10] Narrator
    Most consider serving here to be
    the highest honor for Sorcerers.
[00:16] Narrator
    The most powerful members
    of this group are called Numbers.
[01:52] Irgitte
    Blue Shockwave!
SIGN    Childman Network
[02:04] Irgitte
    It's been a while, Leticia MacCredy.
    I think it's been about two years?
[02:09] Leticia
    I think you're right, Irgitte.
[02:12] Irgitte
    It's Irgitte Sweetheart now.
[02:15] Irgitte
    I have a last name just like you, now.
[02:19] Irgitte
    I can't have you underestimating me.
[02:21] Leticia
    I'm not... I mean, you did end
    up working for the royal court.
[02:27] Leticia
    Did Instructor Maria go with
    you? How is she doing?
[02:31] Irgitte
    Are you trying to imply
[02:32] Irgitte
    that I only got to the royal capital
    because of the instructor?
[02:36] Leticia
    Um... No?
[02:39] Seek
    I'm sure you've already figured this out,
    but we've been sent by the Thirteen Apostles.
[02:45] Seek
    I'll go ahead and ask since
    it doesn't seem like Irgitte
[02:49] Seek
    is going to introduce us but...
[02:51] Seek
    You're Leticia MacCredy?
[02:54] Irgitte
    I was just about to introduce
    all of you, Seek!
[02:58] Irgitte
    Er, Master Seek.
[03:00] Irgitte
    Leticia, this is our current acting
    team leader, Seek Marrisk.
[03:06] Irgitte
    He's one of the instructors at
    the school in the royal capital.
[03:08] Irgitte
    And the clearly simple and lax one over
    here is Kakorkist Isthan, his student.
[03:13] Kakorkist
    Can I go ahead and take that
    as a compliment, Sweetheart?
[03:18] Irgitte
    This is Leticia MacCredy. She's a
    Sorcerer from the Tower of Fangs.
[03:22] Irgitte
    That's all for our introductions.
[03:24] Irgitte
    How about you introduce us to
    the gentleman next to you?
[03:27] Orphen
    Huh?
[03:30] Leticia
    Yeah, I figured that was the case.
[03:33] Irgitte
    Huh? What do you mean?
[03:35] Leticia
    I guess I can't blame you for
    not being able to tell...
[03:37] Leticia
    He's changed quite a bit,
    but this is Krylancelo.
[03:42] Irgitte
    No way!
[03:44] Irgitte
    It's been a while! I went to the
    royal capital after you left Tafrem,
[03:49] Irgitte
    so you probably didn't know,
    did you? Right? Right?
[03:53] Leticia
    Somehow, there seems to be a
    slight difference between his
[03:56] Leticia
    "It's been a while" and mine.
[03:58] Irgitte
    Oh, don't worry about it, Leticia.
[04:00] Irgitte
    We wouldn't want Krylancelo getting
    upset over us not getting along.
[04:06] Seek
    We're in a hurry.
[04:08] Irgitte
    Oh, Master Seek. This is Krylancelo
    from the Tower of Fangs.
[04:13] Seek
    I heard he went missing. It's
    been a while, Krylancelo.
[04:17] Seek
    You probably don't remember,
    but we've met once before.
[04:22] Seek
    If you had actually gone
    through with the exam,
[04:24] Seek
    you would've ended up my subordinate.
[04:27] Kakorkist
    I see.
[04:28] Kakorkist
    Well, the Thirteen Apostles'
    exam is quite difficult.
[04:33] Kakorkist
    You'll eventually get another
    chance, Krylancelo.
[04:36] Orphen
    My name's Orphen now.
[04:39] Seek
    It appears as though we've all been
    dragged into the same trouble.
[04:43] Orphen
    I wouldn't exactly call it trouble.
[04:46] Orphen
    If you're referring to the dwarves, that
    should be taken care of pretty quickly.
[04:51] Leticia
    Do you know something about this?
[04:53] Orphen
    Simply put, all those dwarves were ghosts.
[04:57] Leticia; Kakorkist; Irgitte
    Huh?
[05:00] Kurabe
    A great calamity has befallen our continent.
[05:04] Kurabe
    The lord of the Imminent Domain
    is provoking the Dragons.
[05:09] Forte
    And you're here representing
    the Thirteen Apostles?
[05:13] Kurabe
    You understand just how
    dangerous this is, don't you?
[05:15] Kurabe
    They basically keep poking at a snake that's
    going to swallow this continent whole.
[05:20] Kurabe
    To retaliate, the Dragons have
    sent in powerful agents.
[05:25] Kurabe
    I heard that a Deep Dragon was involved
    in the destruction of Urbanrama.
[05:30] Kurabe
    Let me get straight to the point.
[05:32] Kurabe
    You'll be teaming up with us.
[05:34] Kurabe
    The Tower of Fangs and
    the Thirteen Apostles.
[05:36] Kurabe
    The full force of the Continental
    Sorcerers' Association will stop
[05:38] Kurabe
    the Imminent Domain from
    lashing out any longer.
[05:42] Majic
    Master!
[05:45] Majic
    Th-Th-There's trouble!
[05:48] Majic
    Over there...
[05:55] Orphen
    Well, at least he's real.
[05:58] Majic
    Ow... What was that for?!
[06:01] Orphen
    Don't get mad. I didn't have a choice.
[06:05] Majic
    What do you mean?! You just hit me!
[06:08] Majic
    Er, but now's not the time for that!
[06:11] Orphen
    What's your problem? You seem panicked.
[06:15] Majic
    Winona shot Claiomh with a gun over there!
[06:18] Majic
    I saw Claiomh on the
    ground and came running!
[06:20] Orphen
    Three points.
[06:21] Majic
    Huh?
[06:22] Orphen
    I give that three out of ten points.
[06:25] Orphen
    Just because someone got shot
    doesn't mean they're dead.
[06:27] Majic
    How can you be so calm and say that?!
[06:30] Orphen
    Have you actually forgotten
    that you're a Sorcerer?
[06:33] Orphen
    What could you have done
    while you were running?
[06:36] Orphen
    Go back and take another look.
[06:38] Majic
    Huh?
[06:43] Leticia
    Are you sure it's okay
    for him to go alone?
[06:45] Orphen
    He'll be fine.
[06:47] Orphen
    Right now, Claiomh's safer than anyone.
[06:51] Orphen
    She's got a Deep Dragon protecting
    her that can read people's minds
[06:54] Orphen
    and eliminate them immediately if
    it feels any malice towards her.
[06:58] Orphen
    Meaning, the likelihood that the
    real Claiomh was killed is zero.
[07:03] Orphen
    There's no obvious reason
    for Winona to lay a hand on her.
[07:07] Orphen
    I won't let anyone get
    away with harming her.
[07:10] Irgitte
    Krylancelo... I have no
    idea who this Claiomh is.
[07:16] Irgitte
    That's a girl's name, right?
[07:19] Orphen
    I'm watching over her for
    someone who helped me out.
[07:22] Irgitte
    Is that really all it is?
[07:24] Orphen
    It is... But we've been traveling
    together for about six months.
[07:29] Orphen
    Well, at least she's not boring to talk to.
[07:32] Irgitte
    I see... I guess you've got
    more girls than I thought.
[07:36] Seek
    Going back to the subject at hand, what
    did you call that army of dwarves?
[07:41] Orphen
    Ghosts.
[07:43] Seek
    Are you insane?
[07:44] Orphen
    Well, they aren't actual souls.
[07:47] (Flashback) Dwarf soldier
    Do not falter!
[07:48] Orphen
    Essentially, they're not literally ghost as
    we know them. They're a kind of Sorcery.
[07:50] Orphen
    I unsheathe thee...
[07:51] Orphen
    Sword of Light!
[07:55] Seek
    A kind of Sorcery?
[07:57] Orphen
    There's no caster, therefore
    it's not normal Sorcery.
[08:01] Seek
    But we don't usually call something that's
    not controlled by anyone "Sorcery."
[08:07] Orphen
    But it exists. I mean, it's
    a special kind of Sorcery,
[08:10] Orphen
    but we call it the Childman Network.
[08:14] Leticia
    Krylancelo...
[08:17] Orphen
    Users of the network can summon
    information from the past,
[08:21] Orphen
    and they can obtain or transfer
    a limited amount of information.
[08:25] Seek
    And you're saying that Childman
    was a user of this network?
[08:28] Orphen
    Yes.
[08:29] Orphen
    Master called reckless outbursts
    from the network "ghosts"
[08:33] Orphen
    and within it, part of the information
    of the past can take physical form.
[08:37] Leticia
    So you're saying the dwarves from
    earlier were resurrected information?
[08:42] Orphen
    Yeah. I've previously taken on a mission
    to eliminate ghosts like that before,
[08:47] Orphen
    so I recognized it instantly.
[08:48] Orphen
    These ghost phenomena always happen
    with some core at its center.
[08:52] Orphen
    If that disappears, so will the ghosts.
[08:55] Orphen
    Until then, they will infinitely keep
    reoccurring in the area and in people's minds.
[08:59] Seek
    Is that dangerous?
[09:01] Orphen
    Yes.
[09:03] Orphen
    That army we saw earlier
    can indeed kill people.
[09:06] Kakorkist
    This is just a thought... But we
    have all of these Sorcerers here.
[09:11] Kakorkist
    If that army's a problem, I suggest
    that we just blast them all away.
[09:16] Orphen
    That's impossible.
[09:18] Orphen
    Two actual living dwarves
    wandered into that army.
[09:24] Leticia
    You said the area would also be affected.
[09:27] Leticia
    A thousand years ago, Princess
    Silvermoon was here.
[09:31] Leticia
    Long ago, when the Dragons
    came to this continent,
[09:34] Leticia
    some of the dwarves that already lived
    here tried to chase them away.
[09:38] Leticia
    The one who led them is the
    legendary Princess Silvermoon.
[09:41] Leticia
    The final battle for that should've
    been around here somewhere.
[09:46] Irgitte
    I guess I understand what's going on.
[09:48] Irgitte
    So what do we do now?
[09:50] Orphen
    Master Seek, please give us your guidance.
[09:53] Seek
    Well, we need to figure
    out where this core is.
[09:57] Seek
    The most suspicious is
    that Princess Silvermoon.
[10:01] Seek
    Let's split up.
[10:03] Seek
    We'll split between the Tower of
    Fangs team and the school team.
[10:06] Orphen
    Is there any particular
    meaning behind this split?
[10:09] Seek
    Teamwork.
[10:11] Seek
    You'll be our main force
    as well as the decoy.
[10:14] Seek
    While you're distracting them,
    we'll destroy the core.
[10:18] Seek
    This is a little embarrassing
    to say in front of you,
[10:21] Seek
    but we've received training as Stabbers.
[10:27] Kurabe
    I know you've already made your move.
[10:31] Kurabe
    You sent Leticia MacCredy
    to the east, didn't you?
[10:34] Forte
    At the very least, I have no intention
    of participating in this game of yours.
[10:39] Kurabe
    The one who's forcing this game upon you is that
    man... The lord of the Imminent Domain.
[10:46] Kurabe
    He has a very powerful guardian.
[10:49] Kurabe
    I'm sure you've heard
    the name Yuis Corgon.
[10:53] Forte
    Just half of it.
[10:54] Kurabe
    Don't lie to me. I'm certain that Childman
    knew he was connected to that lord.
[11:01] Forte
    I'm sure it would be troublesome
    to have Corgon as your enemy.
[11:05] Forte
    I only know of one Sorcerer that
    could stand a chance against him.
[11:10] Kurabe
    Krylancelo, eh?
[11:12] Kurabe
    Wasn't it you who told him to go to Kimluck?
[11:17] Forte
    He went there on his own. I
    actually tried to stop him.
[11:22] Kurabe
    The lord's other guardian... Damian Rue.
[11:27] Kurabe
    He rarely shows himself, but he's one
    of the best Sorcerers on this continent
[11:31] Kurabe
    and a user of the network.
[11:33] Kurabe
    He is a White Sorcerer
[11:35] Kurabe
    and an extremely skilled spirit form
    that's managed to not disappear,
[11:39] Kurabe
    despite being in that form for decades.
[11:41] Kurabe
    We have to stop them.
[11:43] Forte
    We instructors will not be able to give
    you the answer you're looking for.
[11:47] Forte
    If you really want to pursue this,
[11:49] Forte
    you'll have to talk to the
    upper echelon of the tower...
[11:52] Kurabe
    If we were going to wage a lawful war, yes.
[11:55] Kurabe
    But I don't want that kind
    of historical infamy.
[11:59] Forte
    So that's why you want the Thirteen
    Apostles and the Tower of Fangs
[12:04] Forte
    to fight with the lord of the Imminent
    Domain without telling the Noble Alliance?
[12:07] Kurabe
    The most powerful Stabber from
    the tower would stand a chance.
[12:11] Forte
    Krylancelo has been permanently
    expelled from the tower.
[12:15] Kurabe
    You have two of the most powerful Sorcerers
    drawing nearer to the Imminent Domain.
[12:21] Kurabe
    I've sent someone in, as well.
[12:24] Kurabe
    If you can somehow shut
    down Damian Rue's network,
[12:28] Kurabe
    we'll be able to assassinate the lord.
[12:35] Damian
    I'd like to make a deal with all of you.
[12:43] Majic
    That's just so cruel...
[12:46] Majic
    You could've panicked a little...
[12:49] Majic
    It was definitely Claiomh
    on the ground back there.
[12:56] Majic
    Which means... Claiomh died?!
[13:00] Orphen
    Most of the time,
[13:01] Orphen
    there are only three reasons why someone
    would die from external injuries.
[13:05] Majic
    Master!
[13:06] Orphen
    If they damage the nervous system,
    if there's substantial blood loss,
[13:10] Orphen
    or if one of their major organs has been
    destroyed... they won't be alive for long.
[13:14] Orphen
    They'd end up dead.
[13:15] Orphen
    It's all a matter of a moment, a
    few seconds, or a few minutes.
[13:18] Winona
    You fool!
[13:20] Winona
    There's a huge difference between
    a moment and anything else.
[13:28] Winona
    I'm a pretty good shot,
    even from this distance.
[13:32] Claiomh
    Hiyah!
[13:38] Claiomh
    Whoa...
[13:41] Majic
    C-Claiomh?!
[13:43] Majic
    Wait... What is this?
[13:46] Majic
    This is really weird...
[13:48] Winona
    This is definitely far off from reality.
[13:52] Majic
    This time...
[13:53] Winona
    I'm real.
[13:55] Majic
    Then what happened to Claiomh?
    Master said she was with you.
[13:59] Winona
    We split up in order to find Lottecia.
[14:03] Winona
    She also has that tiny Dragon with her.
[14:10] Majic
    Don't move!
[14:11] Winona
    I told you, I'm real.
[14:13] Majic
    Don't underestimate me just
    because I'm not Master!
[14:17] Majic
    You shot Claiomh earlier!
[14:19] Winona
    That's ridiculous. You just saw
    that illusion, didn't you?
[14:22] Winona
    That's what's been going on in this area.
[14:25] Majic
    No! I won't believe you until I
    can confirm that Claiomh is safe!
[14:29] Majic
    Where's Claiomh?
[14:32] Winona
    You get a perfect ten points, boy.
[14:35] Winona
    But now, nine, eight...
[14:39] Majic
    I unsheathe thee...
[14:44] Winona
    Welp, I've hit my quota.
[14:48] Winona
    Get the kid outta here, Damian.
[14:52] Forte
    There's one other thing
    that doesn't make sense.
[14:55] Forte
    I can't imagine Maria Huwon speaking
    openly about the network willingly.
[15:00] Forte
    Did you perhaps torture her?
[15:02] Forte
    I would believe her over you.
[15:07] Forte
    Where did you get this information?
[15:10] Damian
    I've grown tired of talking
    through this façade.
[15:14] Damian
    Actually, that's incorrect.
    I do not feel fatigue.
[15:20] Forte
    Who are you?!
[15:21] Damian
    I'm sure you can at least guess.
[15:23] Forte
    Why go through all this trouble?
[15:26] Damian
    After talking to you,
[15:28] Damian
    it's become very clear that I have
    no idea what you're thinking.
[15:31] Damian
    I wanted to find out for certain if you had
    purposely sent your comrade to the east.
[15:38] Damian
    The fewer there are who can
    use the network, the better.
[15:41] Damian
    That would mean the lord's power is
    one step further toward perfection.
[15:43] Damian
    That will be necessary before
    our battle with the sanctuary.
[15:48] Damian
    The real Kurabe Rashille
    will arrive tomorrow
[15:52] Damian
    to discuss something very similar
    with the upper echelon of the tower.
[15:56] Damian
    It would be all for naught
    if you had disappeared.
[15:59] Damian
    But just like the fact that you cannot
    kill me, I have no way of killing you.
[16:08] Damian
    I am Damian Rue. It was
    a pleasure to meet you,
[16:13] Damian
    and
[16:15] Damian
    farewell.
[16:24] Irgitte
    What are we going to do?
[16:26] Orphen
    They're ghosts, so we can probably
    just take care of them one by one.
[16:29] Dwarf A
    Signs of enemies spotted! Signs of
    enemies means there are enemies!
[16:39] Seek
    So it's begun.
[16:40] Seek
    Let us go.
[16:43] Seek
    Well, there's no reason why Irgitte
    also needs walk into death.
[16:49] Seek
    The Imminent Domain...
[16:52] Princess Silvermoon
    All forces, charge! As swift as the
    wind, charge after the enemy forces!
[16:59] Leticia
    What are we going to do?
[17:00] Orphen
    Split up!
[17:05] Leticia
    O Light!
[17:07] Irgitte
    Crimson Gust!
[17:11] Leticia
    O Chaos!
[17:12] Irgitte
    Green Detonation!
[17:17] Leticia
    O Lightning!
[17:19] Irgitte
    Colorless Howl!
[17:22] Volkan
    Hold it!
[17:24] Volkan
    I know that I, the great Vulcano
    Volkan, am a great threat,
[17:28] Volkan
    but you're being so... persistent!
[17:29] Volkan
    You thorough destroyers!
[17:31] Dortin
    Actually, if you intend to kill
    us, could you just say so?
[17:35] Dortin
    I'll do my best to prepare myself.
[17:38] Leticia
    They're not brainwashed anymore.
[17:39] Irgitte
    Which means the princess
    didn't come over here.
[17:44] Orphen
    I destroy thee, Primordial Stillness!
[17:52] Orphen
    Where the hell is this princess?
[18:02] Orphen
    I dance within thee, Heavenly Castle!
[18:08] Princess Silvermoon
    Intercept!
[18:13] Princess Silvermoon
    All forces, charge!
[18:15] Orphen
    You've gotta be kidding me!
    There's no way they can do that!
[18:19] Orphen
    Are they some phenomena created by someone?
[18:29] Orphen
    The only one who could do
    something like this...
[18:40] Orphen
    I unsheathe thee...
[18:42] Orphen
    Sword of Light!
[18:50] Orphen
    Is it over?
[18:54] Orphen
    The princess wasn't the core?
[18:58] Orphen
    Then what is it?
[19:02] Orphen
    It's been strange from the start. If
    someone made this happen intentionally...
[19:08] Princess Silvermoon
    Who are you talking to?!
[19:10] Orphen
    If they just wanted to kill me,
    the army would've been enough.
[19:14] Princess Silvermoon
    Cursed giant!
[19:15] Princess Silvermoon
    How dare you judge my strategy?
[19:18] Orphen
    You want to drive me away and keep
    me pinned down... but not kill me.
[19:23] Orphen
    Is that it?
[19:24] Princess Silvermoon
    Anyone who stands before our
    great army shall be slain!
[19:27] Princess Silvermoon
    There's no other choice!
[19:40] Orphen
    Get out here.
[19:42] Orphen
    I'm not talking to you, Princess Silvermoon.
[19:44] Orphen
    I'm talking to the person who's getting
    a laugh outta impersonating you.
[19:48] Damian
    I'm not laughing.
[19:50] Orphen
    Why did you do this?
[19:52] Damian
    This is my duty. I just tried to
    chase away the Thirteen Apostles.
[19:59] Damian
    Though I had to put a stop
    to this since you all
[20:01] Damian
    managed to bring in unnecessary ghosts...
[20:04] Damian
    Yuis is not here.
[20:06] Orphen
    Yuis?
[20:08] Damian
    No matter. There are other ways.
[20:11] Damian
    I've used everything within my reach.
[20:18] Lottecia
    Ed!
[20:20] Corgon
    There's no point. Put down your sword.
[20:22] Corgon
    I'm not there.
[20:25] Corgon
    Are you trying to reach
    the lord's location?
[20:29] Lottecia
    Well, you're wherever this lord is, right?
[20:32] Lottecia
    That's why I'm going.
[20:34] Corgon
    I'm not with the lord right now.
[20:37] Corgon
    Something unexpected happened.
[20:39] Corgon
    That might throw everything off balance.
[20:43] Corgon
    They're deliberately letting
    the network lose control.
[20:47] Corgon
    I'm speaking to you while there's a lull
    in the trouble with the ghosts.
[20:50] Corgon
    No one, including the lord, should
    be able to eavesdrop on this.
[20:55] Corgon
    Don't go! You don't understand yourself.
[20:59] Lottecia
    I do. I'm going to kill you.
[21:04] Corgon
    Then do not let that sword out
    of your sight even for a moment.
[21:07] Corgon
    Rely on Krylancelo.
[21:09] Corgon
    If he finds out that I'd end up powerless,
    the lord will try to use you.
[21:14] Corgon
    You need to protect yourself!
[21:15] Lottecia
    What are you talking
    about? You're the one...
[21:19] Lottecia
    who tried to kill me!
[21:26] Corgon
    Where am I? Am I being held somewhere?
[21:31] Corgon
    I'm having a hard time thinking...
    Is my brain rotting...?
[21:34] Corgon
    No. They're just trying
    to get me to lose hope.
[21:47] Almagest
    Are you awake?
[21:49] Almagest
    I am the lord of the Imminent Domain...
[21:55] Almagest
    Almagest Betisletha.
[23:31] Orphen
    We're going to the Imminent Domain.
[23:33] Irgitte
    You won't get away with this!
[23:36] Irgitte
    Seek! Kakorkist! Get out here!
