[00:04] Damian
    My lord... I also cannot do it.
[00:08] Damian
    I cannot kill this creature.
[00:12] Damian
    Deep Dragons are immortal creatures.
[00:15] Damian
    Not only do they have no weaknesses,
    but they are highly aggressive as well.
[00:18] Damian
    They are the ultimate warriors,
    having never lost to anyone
[00:22] Damian
    since time immemorial.
[00:25] Damian
    Please be prepared.
[00:28] Damian
    If you insist on fighting it, you
    will be risking all of our forces.
[00:32] Damian
    There is no guarantee that we'll win.
[00:36] Damian
    Or...
[00:39] Damian
    Are you planning to leave everything
    in the hands of that assassin once
[00:44] Damian
    you lose all of us?
[00:45] Damian
    In the battle with the sanctuary...
[00:49] Claiomh
    Who are you?
[00:52] Damian
    What?
[00:53] Damian
    My lord...
[00:55] Damina
    Unbelievably, this Deep
    Dragon has a weakness.
SIGN    The Messenger from the Imminent Domain
[02:49] Orphen
    He's actually someone I can call family.
[02:55] Orphen
    He's a comrade that studied under
[02:57] Orphen
    the most powerful Sorcerer at the pinnacle
    of Black Sorcery, the Tower of Fangs,
[03:02] Orphen
    but...
[03:03] Orphen
    I'd only ever seen him use Sorcery once.
[03:12] (Flashback) Heartia
    Yuis Els Ito Egum Corgon?
[03:15] (Flashback) Comicron
    That's your full name?
[03:19] (Flashback) Krylancelo
    It sounds like an incantation.
[03:21] (Flashback) Corgon
    Perhaps it is.
[03:24] (Flashback) Corgon
    But it's still incomplete.
[03:28] Orphen
    Yuis Els Ito Egum Ed Corgon.
[03:31] Orphen
    Night Knocker.
[03:33] Orphen
    The Sorcerer of Calamity.
[03:35] (Flashback) Corgon
    Once it's truly complete,
[03:38] (Flashback) Corgon
    I wonder what will happen when it's spoken.
[03:44] Dortin
    Hey, Big Bro.
[03:45] Volkan
    What?
[03:47] Dortin
    I think we might be doing
    something really bad.
[03:51] Volkan
    Oh, yeah?
[03:52] Dortin
    This feels like burglary,
    if not something even worse.
[03:57] Dortin
    Oh, right. Maybe "ungrateful"
    is the word for it.
[04:02] Dortin
    Those people could return at any moment.
[04:06] Volkan
    Even so, Dortin.
[04:08] Volkan
    That cabbage I made an exception for
    and allowed to become my apprentice...
[04:14] Dortin
    You mean Ryan.
[04:15] Volkan
    He abandoned his dearest
    master to go out at night.
[04:21] Volkan
    He didn't even prepare breakfast,
[04:23] Volkan
    which means he must've gotten
    himself corned and killed by mold.
[04:30] Volkan
    In fact, go ahead and eat whatever you want.
[04:33] Volkan
    The times have chosen not him, but
    me, the great hero Vulcano Volkan.
[04:52] Volkan
    Dortin, we've got trouble! Probably, anyway.
[04:55] Volkan
    Expecting no more from it, I said
    goodbye to that miserable wardrobe
[04:59] Volkan
    and decided to rip up the floorboards, but...
[05:03] Dortin
    You went that far?
[05:05] Volkan
    Indeed I did.
[05:07] Volkan
    But you needn't show such deference
    to your perfect brother.
[05:12] Volkan
    The charitable Bulldog of Masmaturia
    is willing to grant you a share.
[05:21] Volkan
    That fellow there:
[05:23] Volkan
    Is he not my apprentice?
[05:24] Dortin
    Yeah. That's him, Big Bro.
[05:27] Dortin
    This is terrible. What should we do?
[05:29] Volkan
    So he's dead. Well, there's no helping that.
[05:33] Volkan
    The city-capturing ultimate wide-range
    annihilation technique I taught him yesterday,
[05:37] Volkan
    "Love At First Sight," shortens
    the user's lifespan by 70 years.
[05:43] Volkan
    It was obviously going to kill him,
[05:46] Volkan
    so I impressed upon him that he should
    be grateful to simply learn its name.
[05:50] Volkan
    I charged him 7,000 ancient gold
    coins. I said he could pay me later.
[05:54] Dortin
    What kind of technique is it, exactly?
[05:58] Volkan
    It's an abstract technique that kills
    roughly 10,000 people if you try hard enough.
[06:04] Volkan
    I prefer not to speak in practical terms.
[06:07] Dortin
    No, wait. We shouldn't be
    talking about that right now.
[06:12] Dortin
    Ryan is in trouble. What should we do?
[06:16] Ryan
    You can just leave me here.
[06:22] Ryan
    As long as I stay still, I won't die too much.
[06:28] Dortin
    But it'd be better to get proper rest inside
    rather than lying on the floor here.
[06:36] Ryan
    P-Perhaps you're right.
[06:41] Dortin
    Wow.
[06:43] Volkan
    You look even more half-dead
    than usual, my apprentice.
[06:48] Dortin
    I really don't think you should move.
[06:55] Dortin
    This person is dying.
[07:00] Both
    What?
[07:14] Helpart
    Natives, huh? You should flee.
[07:17] Dortin
    What?
[07:18] Helpart
    You should flee.
[07:20] Dortin
    Big Bro.
[07:24] Helpart
    You can't do it unless
    you think of it as work.
[07:28] Ed
    What do you mean?
[07:30] Helpart
    You can't kill people unless you
    think of it as work, can you?
[07:34] Helpart
    Immediately after killing him, you turned
    your attention to your surroundings.
[07:39] Ed
    Were you hoping to take advantage of the
    moment I let my guard down to kill him?
[07:45] Helpart
    Something like that.
[07:47] Ed
    Is your sense of camaraderie truly so weak?
[07:50] Ed
    You XX.
[07:54] Helpart
    I see. I'd heard from Ryan,
    but I couldn't believe it.
[07:59] Helpart
    You know about us. How?
[08:04] Ed
    It's been a mere ten years
    since you began operating.
[08:09] Ed
    In that regard, despite your arrogance,
    you're not much different from me.
[08:14] Ed
    We're equal.
[08:16] Helpart
    Equal? I wouldn't say that.
[08:19] Helpart
    We don't know who you are.
[08:21] Ed
    That means I was more careful than you.
[08:26] Helpart
    It's the difference between doing
    the pursuing and being pursued.
[08:30] Helpart
    It seems to me you're overconfident
    in your advantage.
[08:37] Helpart
    We simply have several questions about you.
[08:44] Helpart
    We don't fear you.
[08:49] Helpart
    How did you find this place?
[08:53] Helpart
    Thinking it through, my partner
    must've been followed.
[08:59] Helpart
    He ran into some trouble last night.
[09:02] Helpart
    I had to make his statement for him.
[09:06] Helpart
    I'm surprised he had the
    energy to return here.
[09:10] Helpart
    We were keeping an eye on you.
[09:14] Helpart
    How are you acting freely?
[09:17] Helpart
    Did you shake off Jack Frisbee?
[09:21] Helpart
    Or is he dead?
[09:23] Helpart
    Or is he looking up at that window,
    believing you're still inside that room?
[09:30] Helpart
    Such is the extent of our questions.
[09:35] Helpart
    You can tell us the answers.
[09:36] Helpart
    Failing that, we can always speculate.
[09:39] Helpart
    Our questions are merely questions.
[09:42] Ed
    You talk too much.
[09:44] Helpart
    I'm asking you questions.
[09:45] Helpart
    A grown man must answer questions,
    no matter what is asked of him or when.
[09:52] Helpart
    That's how this works.
[09:53] Ed
    You're trying to buy time.
[09:57] Helpart
    I just thought I'd answer your question.
[10:01] Helpart
    You had a question about
    our sense of camaraderie.
[10:05] Helpart
    I'll answer it.
[10:07] Helpart
    It's worthless.
[10:09] Helpart
    At least, I wish I could say that,
[10:12] Helpart
    but if I'd known my partner would
    die, I wouldn't have done this.
[10:23] Ed
    He's being revived automatically?
[10:53] Helpart
    Have you given up?
[10:55] Helpart
    While we stand here, my
    partner will be revived.
[10:59] Ed
    It's reviving the user in
    response to his death.
[11:04] Ed
    I had no idea such a powerful
    Celestial weapon existed.
[11:08] Helpart
    Did you think they were all this weak?
[11:12] Helpart
    Perhaps I would've had an
    easier time if I'd used this.
[11:17] Ed
    I'll answer your questions.
[11:20] Ed
    In exchange, return that sword to me.
[11:23] Helpart
    What are you planning?
[11:25] Ed
    I simply stated my desire.
[11:28] Helpart
    I don't make deals with irregulars,
[11:31] Helpart
    nor can I make irregular deals.
[11:34] Helpart
    But I will ask you a question.
[11:37] Helpart
    Depending on your answer, I
    might consider your request.
[11:40] Helpart
    Who are you?
[11:43] Ed
    I work for the lord.
[11:46] Helpart
    The lord? Of the Imminent Domain?
[11:50] Helpart
    The only one to oppose the sanctuary.
[11:52] Helpart
    So he's making his move.
[11:55] Ed
    He always has been.
[11:57] Ed
    You simply paid him no mind.
[12:01] Ed
    Return the sword.
[12:03] Helpart
    Sorry, but your answer
    couldn't have been worse.
[12:05] Helpart
    I can't allow you to live.
[12:11] Helpart
    Farewell.
[12:13] Ed
    I unsheathe thee, Sword of Light!
[12:25] Man
    Nice view, isn't it?
[12:28] Man
    Though I'm used to it by now.
[12:31] Leticia
    I suppose. I've heard the ocean
    has some different sights to see.
[12:36] Man
    You must be joking.
[12:37] Man
    Even if we see them, they
    would surely be hellish.
[12:41] Man
    There's no end to the
[12:42] Man
    number of ships that unjustly sink
    once they sail too far from land.
[12:46] Leticia
    But they say our ancestors
    came from across the sea.
[12:53] Man
    That's what the Sorcerers say.
[12:55] Man
    But this nonsense about gods and
    demons sounds unrealistic to me.
[13:02] Man
    It's surely fabricated history.
[13:07] Leticia
    Do you know a lot about history?
[13:10] Man
    I'll have you know I'm a scholar.
[13:12] Man
    Do you know there are still unpublished
    ancient documents in Tafrem?
[13:16] Man
    I went to request they be published,
    but they flatly refused.
[13:20] Leticia
    I see.
[13:21] Man
    My father, or rather...
[13:23] Man
    perhaps it would be more accurate to
    call him my soon-to-be adoptive father.
[13:27] Man
    He got into an accident in Resibon
    recently, so I must return.
[13:32] Man
    Like a true academic,
    the last time I saw him,
[13:34] Man
    he mentioned some nonsense about discovering
    the Browning Family's World Transcript.
[13:40] Leticia
    May I confess something before
    I end up deceiving you?
[13:45] Man
    That's...
[13:48] Leticia
    I am Leticia MacCredy of the Tower of Fangs.
[13:51] Leticia
    I'm not here on official business,
[13:53] Leticia
    so I won't report this to
    the Tower's upper echelon.
[13:56] Man
    Goodness, I had no idea you were a Sorcerer.
[14:00] Leticia
    Either way, I've long since
    been forsaken by them.
[14:05] Leticia
    Pay it no mind.
[14:09] Man
    You said you're here on private business.
[14:11] Man
    May I ask what business exactly?
[14:14] Leticia
    It's nothing major.
[14:16] Leticia
    I'm simply going to see my younger brother.
[14:19] Man
    Your younger brother?
[14:21] Leticia
    Yes, about our younger sister.
[14:26] Both
    Heave-ho, heave-ho.
[14:30] Dortin
    Say, Big Bro.
[14:31] Volkan
    What is it, Dortin?
[14:32] Volkan
    Would you prefer to chant "one-two,
    one-two" as originally suggested?
[14:38] Dortin
    I wasn't going to say that.
[14:40] Dortin
    I still think this is stealing.
[14:43] Volkan
    You think so? But, you know...
[14:47] Volkan
    The Positive Vibrational Sonar of the great
    Vulcano Volkan, Bulldog of Masmaturia—
[14:52] Volkan
    in other words, my ears—heard
    something once.
[14:55] Volkan
    That cabbage fellow said we
    could do as we pleased
[14:58] Volkan
    with the items within the buildings
    while he was absent.
[15:01] Dortin
    But...
[15:03] Dortin
    I don't think we should do
    as we please with something
[15:06] Dortin
    that was hidden inside a building.
[15:10] Volkan
    You're probably right.
[15:12] Volkan
    But I've decided there are no
    exceptions, so it doesn't bother me.
[15:16] Volkan
    It should be okay.
[15:18] Dortin
    I doubt you worrying about
    it would change much.
[15:23] Volkan
    You don't get it, brother of mine.
[15:25] Volkan
    Our world is all about power and money.
[15:28] Volkan
    "If something's not right,
    then win them over."
[15:30] Volkan
    I'm thinking about making
    that my motto next year.
[15:34] Dortin
    Just thinking about it?
[15:36] Volkan
    Another day, another tidy sum.
[15:39] Volkan
    Take this righteous bribe and run.
[15:42] Dortin
    You even wrote a song?
[15:42] Volkan
    Throw things away once they're of no use.
[15:45] Volkan
    You tossed it? Grab what's gotten loose.
[15:52] Winona
    Why would he think he'd win a fight
    when he hasn't put on any muscle?
[15:59] Winona
    Wits and courage are nonsense. Pure fantasy.
[16:04] Winona
    Shattering your opponent's
    jaw with a spinning punch
[16:08] Winona
    is far more reliable than cunning.
[16:11] Winona
    And besides, your Ed isn't much of a fighter.
[16:16] Winona
    I can't even remember how many times
    I laid him flat at my training camp.
[16:26] Orphen
    It's true that I couldn't do anything.
[16:29] Orphen
    What have I accomplished?
[16:36] Orphen
    He called himself Helpart.
[16:41] Orphen
    He was working with Ryan
    to get Lottecia's sword.
[16:47] Orphen
    We met by coincidence, but he said
    he'd be watching me because of Azalie.
[16:55] Orphen
    But why Majic? Why Claiomh?
[17:01] Orphen
    Damn.
[17:19] Orphen
    I'm going to look for Majic.
[17:21] Winona
    You shouldn't do that.
[17:25] Winona
    I wouldn't move if I were you.
[17:27] Winona
    I'm faster than your ability
    to speak incantations.
[17:31] Winona
    Human brains are full of blood.
[17:34] Winona
    Personally, I don't want to
    spray that all over the place.
[17:39] Winona
    I told you not to move.
[17:42] Orphen
    You certainly could pull the trigger quicker
[17:44] Orphen
    than I could form a spell and
    have it take effect, but...
[17:52] Orphen
    You failed to pull the trigger
    while I've been talking.
[17:58] Orphen
    People can't do anything without
    something to set them in motion.
[18:03] Orphen
    I can draw my right hand at roughly the
    same speed you can pull the trigger.
[18:10] Winona
    You've probably got some kind
    of throwing dagger, don't you?
[18:14] Winona
    It takes quite a bit of time
    to draw one from a sheath.
[18:17] Orphen
    Do you want to test it? It
    won't be my life that's tested,
[18:22] Orphen
    but Lottecia's and yours.
[18:25] Orphen
    I don't mind.
[18:28] Winona
    Fine.
[18:30] Winona
    Sorry about that.
[18:31] Winona
    I wanted to see what kind of person you were.
[18:36] Orphen
    Who are you?
[18:38] Winona
    Doesn't this answer your question?
[18:41] Orphen
    Only certain members of the chivalric
    order are allowed to carry guns.
[18:47] Winona
    We call them DDs. I'm a
    dispatched police officer.
[18:51] Winona
    An unofficial one, that is.
[18:55] Orphen
    An unofficial knight? A dragoon.
[18:59] Orphen
    Those guys who operate privately
    under certain nobles?
[19:03] Winona
    That's right.
[19:14] Winona
    Didn't I tell you? Nonsense and fantasy.
[19:21] Orphen
    You can brag once you're
    done answering my questions.
[19:28] Winona
    The ultimate warrior.
[19:31] Winona
    I'm surprised, Krylancelo.
[19:34] Orphen
    Answer me.
[19:36] Orphen
    Don't make me ask every question.
    Tell me everything you can tell me.
[19:40] Winona
    I'm acting under the lord's orders.
[19:43] Winona
    The lord needs you.
[19:47] Orphen
    The lord? There haven't been any
    lords since the nobles' rebellion.
[19:52] Orphen
    The Noble Alliance granted
    rights to all citizens.
[19:56] Orphen
    They gave up their own lands to
    govern the continent instead,
[20:00] Orphen
    like the Celestials did before.
[20:05] Orphen
    They operate control rooms in the
    capital, but never more than that.
[20:09] Winona
    Across the entire continent, there's
    one land that wasn't given up.
[20:15] Winona
    It's called the Imminent Domain.
[20:19] Orphen
    Who is this lord of yours?
[20:22] Winona
    I want to make a deal. You
    understand that, don't you?
[20:27] Orphen
    A deal?
[20:29] Winona
    I'll tell you everything you want to know
[20:32] Winona
    in exchange for meeting the lord
    after all of this has been settled.
[20:37] Orphen
    All of what?
[20:39] Winona
    Well, for example...
[20:42] Winona
    You need to cure this girl, don't you?
[20:50] Orphen
    Don't touch Claiomh.
[20:52] Winona
    Unbelievable.
[20:56] Winona
    I think I know why the lord
    chose me to scout you.
[21:02] Orphen
    Well, I don't. Why don't
    you spell it out for me?
[21:07] Lottecia
    Stop! Now's not the time for this!
[21:10] Lottecia
    Can you really fix Claiomh?
[21:15] Winona
    Probably. My superior, Damian Rue, is
    an authority on this kind of thing.
[21:21] Orphen
    Tell me everything you can.
[21:23] Orphen
    Then I'll meet with your
    lord if that's all it takes.
[21:36] Orphen
    What is that?
[21:37] Orphen
    What is that thing?
[21:40] Winona
    A young Deep Dragon.
[21:43] Winona
    That young Deep Dragon did this to her.
[21:49] Orphen
    What?
[21:51] Orphen
    Wait... Don't tell me that's Leki.
[23:30] Winona
    If you kill me, you won't
    be able to save her anymore.
[23:34] Ryan
    If you're willing to
    involve this entire city,
[23:37] Ryan
    then there are countermeasures you can take.
