[00:01] Orphen
Two hundred years ago, a pact was forged between
Istersiva and Childman Powderfield.
[00:10] Orphen
Our task is to put a stop
to the destruction.
[00:14] Orphen
Following his mother's final words,
the promise he made with Istersiva,
[00:19] Orphen
Childman then raised a successor.
SIGN The Second World-Seeing Tower
[01:57] Maria
It's not just that the goddess
will destroy our world.
[02:01] Maria
The sanctuary is going to
abandon this continent
[02:04] Maria
within the next ten days... before the
goddess comes through the barrier.
[02:10] Orphen
The inhabitants of the sanctuary are
just trying to save themselves.
[02:14] Orphen
We can't let them carry out that plan.
[02:17] Orphen
But the only thing I can do right now is...
[02:21] Orphen
to try to minimize the
number of casualties on both sides.
[02:26] Claiomh
Orphen!
[02:28] Claiomh
So, hey.
[02:29] Claiomh
Leki just said it's going to be hard
getting through up ahead, so be careful.
[02:34] Orphen
All right. I'll go tell everyone else.
[02:37] Majic
Um, Isabella...
[02:40] Majic
I... wanted to become a full-fledged
Sorcerer, just like Orphen.
[02:46] Majic
The people here are some of the most powerful
Black Sorcerers on the continent, right?
[02:51] Majic
And yet...
[02:54] Isabella
Yes...
[02:55] Isabella
We all seem pathetic.
[02:59] Isabella
What's the matter, Krylancelo?
[03:01] Orphen
Leki's on his guard. He said it'll be
hard to get through from here on out.
[03:09] Isabella
Are you okay?!
[03:11] Maria
No, I'm not.
[03:14] Orphen
What the hell just happened?
[03:15] Pluto
That's what I want to know. We
were just suddenly knocked back.
[03:24] Almagest
A barrier...
[03:26] Almagest
If there's a power that can stop
the Deep Dragons in the sanctuary,
[03:29] Almagest
it'd be the Fairy Dragons...
[03:32] Orphen
Spirit Sorcery.
[03:34] Pluto
Spirit Sorcery? Then we definitely
aren't getting through.
[03:38] Orphen
No, Leki just said it'd
be harder to get through.
[03:42] Orphen
He must know some way to
get through the barrier.
[03:58] Priest 1
You... How did you directly
spatially transfer here?
[04:03] Leticia
Due to the power of Childman
Powderfield's pact.
[04:07] Priest 1
You mean Istersiva's pact?
[04:10] Preenia
What is this will of Aureole
that you said you have brought?
[04:14] Leticia
Before that, I'd like to confirm something.
[04:17] Leticia
Why are you humans ruling
over the Dragons' sanctuary?
[04:24] Priest 2
That is a rather rude question!
[04:26] Leticia
Then how many Dragons are
left in this sanctuary?
[04:33] Preenia
None at all.
[04:35] Preenia
The Deep Dragons chose the
pact over the sanctuary.
[04:40] Preenia
The War Dragons are in the dwarves' domain.
[04:44] Preenia
The Fairy Dragons are
basically living corpses.
[04:48] Preenia
That goes for the Mist Dragons, as well.
[04:50] Preenia
The Red Dragons only obey because
they have nothing else they can do.
[04:56] Leticia
So you're saying...
[04:57] Leticia
that with the current sanctuary's power,
[05:00] Leticia
it'd be impossible to
face the goddess, right?
[05:04] Preenia
You speak as though this doesn't
concern you, Chaos Witch.
[05:10] Preenia
Because you had to interfere in Kimluck,
[05:14] Preenia
the balance between Aureole
and the goddess was broken,
[05:17] Preenia
and that's what brought on this catastrophe.
[05:30] Azalie
That was not all for naught.
[05:32] Preenia
But it was. It was all for nothing.
[05:37] Preenia
I will now answer your question. Why are
we humans ruling over the sanctuary?
[05:45] Preenia
It's because the Celestials were destroyed.
[05:47] Preenia
The Celestials tried to
stop their extinction...
[05:51] Preenia
Machines to bring the dead back to life,
body modification, androids...
[05:55] Preenia
All attempts failed.
[05:57] Preenia
Before we knew it, the only ones
who could manage this place
[06:00] Preenia
were us, who were once welcomed
into the sanctuary.
[06:05] Preenia
We've lived in this sanctuary for centuries.
[06:08] Preenia
We couldn't possibly go into
the outside world now.
[06:11] Preenia
And if the Founding Sorcerers in the
Ayrmankar burial chamber are destroyed,
[06:16] Preenia
the Sorcery of the Celestials
will be destroyed.
[06:19] Azalie
Well, you need to hurry and summon
the Demon King before that.
[06:23] Preenia
That's impossible, Chaos Witch.
[06:25] Preenia
Summoning the Demon King is nothing but
a last-ditch delusion by the Celestials.
[06:29] Azalie
Well, it's worth trying out, isn't it?
[06:32] Azalie
That is, if all of you want to survive, too.
[06:35] Azalie
Unfortunately, there's no one
at the Second World-Seeing Tower
[06:37] Azalie
that can use the summoning device.
[06:40] Azalie
Previously, we had
artificially-created summoners.
[06:45] Azalie
The most ideal superhuman created
from the network's ideal specifications...
[06:49] Azalie
But they were taken away.
[06:54] Azalie
There's the lord of the Imminent Domain.
[06:56] Preenia
That's not what we're interested in.
[06:59] Preenia
We have now answered your questions.
Now it's your turn to answer.
[07:04] Preenia
Is this pact that is more
powerful than the barrier
[07:06] Preenia
something that can open up the
Ayrmankar burial chamber as well?
[07:16] Lottecia
A ghost? No way.
[07:18] Heartia
It sounds crazy, right? But it's the truth!
[07:21] Heartia
A heartless, violent, ruthless
demon of a ghost threatened me,
[07:26] Heartia
and before I knew it, I was here.
[07:29] Heartia
Though, I mean, she's always been like that.
[07:31] Heartia
She's always got in the way of my dates
just because she thought it was fun!
[07:36] Lottecia
You're so funny.
[07:40] Heartia
Hey, sorry to keep you waiting.
[07:42] Corgon
How were you able to get along with that
when it hasn't even been five minutes?
[07:46] Heartia
Well, she's pretty.
[07:48] Heartia
Ow! Why'd you kick me?!
[07:51] Corgon
I told you. That thing's not human.
[07:54] Corgon
She's an android that was created by the
sanctuary for a very specific purpose.
[07:59] Corgon
She predicts the future,
falsifies the network,
[08:02] Corgon
and she can control humans and other creatures
as she pleases. She's dangerous.
[08:07] Heartia
Oh, who cares if she controls me?
[08:09] Heartia
She's hot.
[08:10] Corgon
You really are an idiot.
[08:13] Heartia
Hey, wait!
[08:15] Corgon
While Leticia keeps the priests busy, I
want to take control of the sanctuary.
[08:21] Corgon
I'm going to go prepare a weapon.
[08:25] Heartia
But you already have one prepared.
[08:27] Corgon
I need something that's even more proper.
[08:30] Corgon
If the Thirteen Apostles get to the
sanctuary, I might have to fight them, as well.
[08:35] Corgon
Pluto is a formidable opponent.
[08:37] Corgon
If I'm going to win no matter
what, I need to be prepared.
[08:41] Heartia
Against Krylancelo, too?
[08:46] Corgon
You have no intention of
helping me out, do you?
[08:48] Heartia
I don't. Sorry, but I'm
gonna stay neutral in this.
[08:52] Corgon
I figured you'd say that.
[08:54] Corgon
But instead...
[08:56] Corgon
Could you go here?
[09:00] Heartia
Wow...
[09:02] Corgon
I had Lottecia look into it.
[09:04] Heartia
Had her look into it, huh?
[09:07] Heartia
I can't fathom why a hottie
like her ever married you.
[09:11] Heartia
It's not fair!
[09:13] Corgon
The marriage was never official.
[09:15] Heartia
Huh?
[09:16] Corgon
My family register was falsified.
[09:19] Heartia
But that's marriage fraud!
[09:21] Corgon
Her family register was falsified, too.
[09:25] Heartia
I see...
[09:27] Heartia
But you married her because
you loved her, right?
[09:30] Corgon
I was manipulated into believing that.
[09:33] Heartia
Seriously? You never do anything
you don't want to do, Corgon.
[09:48] Pluto
Fate Draws Near!
[09:58] Pluto
So it is impossible...
[10:04] Thirteen Apostles C
An ambush!
[10:08] Orphen
Damn it.
[10:22] Heartia
Tiptoe, tiptoe...
[10:25] Heartia
I'm pretty amazing that I can actually
walk quietly while saying this.
[10:31] Heartia
Let's see, next up...
[10:35] Heartia
At this hour,
[10:36] Heartia
the priests need to perform joint
maintenance on paths 230 through 256.
[10:43] Heartia
So there won't be a lookout
over here anymore.
[10:48] Heartia
Five... three... nine... There we go.
[10:56] Heartia
This must be it.
[10:58] Corgon
There are two places where the priests
always make sure to have lookouts.
[11:02] Corgon
The first is the door to the
Ayrmankar burial chamber.
[11:07] Heartia
Just to be clear, I'm not
helping you out, Corgon.
[11:10] Heartia
I'm totally neutral in this.
[11:13] Heartia
Well... I guess this is for old time's sake.
[11:23] Heartia
Uh... hey.
[11:26] Preenia
Are you one of the intruders?
[11:29] Heartia
Are you the priests?
[11:31] Preenia
Indeed. We are the priests who rule over
the sanctuary. How did you come here?
[11:36] Heartia
I dunno... I got a little lost.
[11:40] Preenia
We will be restraining you.
[11:49] Corgon
If an intruder appears there,
[11:51] Corgon
the priests will be confused
[11:53] Corgon
and possibly loosen their security
on their other vital point.
[11:59] Corgon
I'll take advantage of that and capture it.
[12:06] Orphen
I scale thee, Heavenly Snowy Mountain!
[12:13] Orphen
I unsheathe thee... Sword of...
[12:17] Orphen
She disappeared?
[12:24] Majic
Orphen! I unsheathe thee...
[12:34] Orphen
Isabella! Take care of Majic.
[12:36] Isabella
I will!
[12:47] Orphen
I construct thee, Spire of the Sun!
[13:16] Orphen
Considering Leki's powers, we
shouldn't even be necessary.
[13:22] Orphen
And yet, he's protecting us.
[13:24] Orphen
There must be a reason that Leki needs us.
[13:30] Orphen
Something Leki's trying to do...
[13:34] Azalie
Krylancelo and the Thirteen Apostles are
still stuck at the Spirit Sorcery barrier.
[13:40] Leticia
If you know how they can
get through that barrier,
[13:43] Leticia
you should go tell them.
[13:45] Azalie
But we need this deadlock situation right now
so we can get the priests' attention.
[13:51] Azalie
It'll be any moment now... When that
thing infiltrates the continent.
[13:56] Leticia
It's honestly insane.
[13:58] Leticia
The sanctuary is going to abandon
the rest of the continent
[14:01] Leticia
just so they can save themselves?
That's too selfish.
[14:05] Azalie
Honestly, I think I understand.
[14:08] Leticia
What do you mean?
[14:10] Azalie
To them, surviving is probably
not that important.
[14:16] Azalie
They've been trapped in the sanctuary
[14:18] Azalie
and been struggling just to keep
the barrier up every single day.
[14:22] Azalie
Everyone on the outside is living
their best life, completely clueless.
[14:27] Azalie
I wouldn't be surprised if the priests
just thought, "That's what you get."
[14:32] Leticia
But have you ever heard
of something so crude?
[14:35] Azalie
You'll understand if you ever
end up turning into a monster.
[14:40] Azalie
The moment I turned back to
normal after being a monster,
[14:42] Azalie
I started regretting the fact that
I killed Master and my friends.
[15:03] Azalie
Wouldn't you call that crude?
[15:06] Leticia
It's easy to regret things
once it's far too late.
[15:11] Leticia
I don't want to talk to
you anymore. Go away.
[15:27] Isabella
I see.
[15:29] Isabella
So I guess Krylancelo hasn't even taught
you how to defend yourself yet.
[15:34] Isabella
All you learned was how
to control your Sorcery?
[15:37] Majic
Yes... But that's because I...
[15:40] Isabella
The Sorcerer's melancholy.
[15:42] Majic
Huh?
[15:43] Isabella
That's what they call the condition
when Sorcerers hit a wall
[15:46] Isabella
and don't know what to do.
[15:48] Isabella
Everyone goes through it, including
myself and Krylancelo.
[15:52] Isabella
Eventually you'll find out that
[15:54] Isabella
you won't exactly be able to see any
further just by standing on your tiptoes.
[15:58] Majic
So you're saying I should be satisfied
with the present situation?
[16:01] Isabella
No.
[16:02] Isabella
It means that no one can continue walking
as they stand on their tiptoes forever.
[16:06] Isabella
If you start walking properly,
[16:07] Isabella
you'll see the view you're
looking for eventually.
[16:10] Majic
Are you seeing the view you
want to right now, Isabella?
[16:14] Isabella
Not here.
[16:16] Isabella
But if I think about my
comrades who have died,
[16:19] Isabella
I should be proud of the fact
that I'm here right now.
[16:27] Majic
Hey! It can just be until we get to where
we're headed, but teach me a move!
[16:32] Isabella
Huh?
[16:34] Majic
At this rate, I can't protect anyone.
[16:38] Majic
Even during the last ambush,
everyone was just protecting me.
[16:42] Majic
That's why I want you to show me a move that
will let me stop someone if I need to.
[16:48] Isabella
All right.
[16:53] Isabella
I have no intention of taking on
an extremely troublesome student.
[16:56] Isabella
All I can show you is a little technique.
[16:59] Isabella
It'll be up to you to figure
out where to use it.
[17:02] Majic
Okay.
[17:03] Isabella
Also, just so we're clear, I can't teach
you nicely like Krylancelo has been doing.
[17:10] Pluto
Take the sanctuary without harming it?
[17:14] Pluto
That's rather abstract.
Explain that in more detail.
[17:17] Orphen
I was trying to think about
Leki's thought process.
[17:20] Orphen
Leki will take us to the sanctuary.
[17:22] Orphen
But what Leki can't do is share
his feelings or will with others.
[17:27] Orphen
He needs humans to represent all humans
in a negotiation with the sanctuary.
[17:32] Orphen
From the Noble Alliance, the lord.
[17:34] Orphen
From the Continental
Sorcerers' Association...
[17:36] Pluto
Of course, that would be
me, since I'm councilor.
[17:39] Orphen
If we could use the equipment at the
sanctuary, the lord actually has a plan.
[17:44] (Flashback) Almagest
I will use the Second World-Seeing
Tower to summon the Demon King,
[17:49] (Flashback) Almagest
and then I'll push out the
goddess that shows up.
[17:54] Orphen
If all goes well, we'll be able
to make the goddess leave without
[17:59] Orphen
reducing the Ayrmankar Barrier.
[18:01] Pluto
The play, "The Demon King."
[18:04] Pluto
Is there any guarantee that the
Demon King can defeat the goddess?
[18:07] Orphen
No. We don't even know what the Demon
King is or what power they possess.
[18:13] Pluto
Even if we're able to kill the goddess,
[18:16] Pluto
what are we supposed to do with
the Demon King that's left behind?
[18:18] Orphen
The lord was aware of this danger, as well.
[18:21] Orphen
But there's no other force that
can stand against the goddess
[18:24] Orphen
in this continent anymore.
[18:26] Orphen
Unfortunately, this is
the best plan we've got.
[18:29] Orphen
If there's anyone here who probably won't
be able to withstand being here any longer,
[18:33] Orphen
you should send them back
to the royal capital.
[18:36] Pluto
I'll think about it.
[18:37] Orphen
Thank you.
[18:42] Pluto
Successor of the Razor's Edge, eh?
[18:47] Pluto
I will acknowledge you.
[18:49] Pluto
If Childman Powderfield were still alive,
[18:53] Pluto
he would've been where
you're standing right now.
[19:06] Volkan
You look so exhausted that you might
croak any minute, Black Sorcerer!
[19:10] Orphen
You don't have to repay your debt anymore.
[19:13] Dortin
Huh?
[19:14] Orphen
Go back to the royal capital
with the Thirteen Apostles.
[19:19] Orphen
Why are you so quiet?
[19:22] Dortin
B-B-B-B-But why?!
[19:24] Dortin
I didn't think that was possible
even if the world ended!
[19:28] Orphen
Well, honestly, it's about to end.
[19:30] Dortin
Huh?
[19:32] Claiomh
Orphen.
[19:34] Orphen
What?
[19:34] Claiomh
Well, I just wanted to talk.
[19:46] Claiomh
Is it just five more days now?
[19:47] Orphen
Yeah.
[19:49] Claiomh
I've been thinking about a lot lately.
[19:52] Orphen
You say that as if you
weren't thinking before.
[19:57] Claiomh
I guess I probably wasn't.
[20:00] Orphen
Yeah? I wouldn't say that.
[20:03] Claiomh
What are you thinking
about right now, Orphen?
[20:08] Orphen
How to get through that Spirit
Sorcery barrier... probably.
[20:15] Claiomh
Maybe you're not thinking
about how to get through,
[20:18] Claiomh
but rather, just confirming
that we can't get through it?
[20:22] Claiomh
I was thinking you might think like that.
[20:29] Orphen
Claiomh, is something wrong?
[20:32] Claiomh
No. Sorry. I'm sure you have
plenty to worry about, Orphen.
[20:37] Claiomh
I'll tell you when things calm down a bit.
[20:45] (Flashback) Almagest
What exactly is despair?
[20:48] (Flashback) Almagest
If you seek answers, you can find them.
[20:53] Orphen
Is there only despair here?
[20:57] Orphen
That can't be true.
[21:00] Orphen
We still have five days.
[21:06] Leticia
I want to go home.
[21:08] Leticia
Let the world end already.
[21:11] Leticia
Just five more days...
[21:13] Leticia
It's not like I have anything to lose...
[21:19] Azalie
Krylancelo will arrive here
in the sanctuary soon.
[21:23] Azalie
Let's keep fighting.
[21:24] Leticia
I'm sure he must be sick of everything, too.
[21:29] Azalie
You think so?
[21:30] Azalie
Krylancelo chose his role for himself though.
[21:35] Azalie
So did Heartia and Corgon.
[21:38] Azalie
Let's go.
[21:40] Azalie
It'll make things easier for everyone
else if we keep the priests' attention.
SIGN Five Days Until the Great Calamity
[23:31] Jack
You're not powerful enough
to protect everything.
[23:34] Orphen
I'm not going to protect everything.
[23:36] Orphen
I'm just a Sorcerer.
