[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.

[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.
