[00:12] K
    Yui, what's wrong?
[00:15] Y
    Well, this is just a hypothesis...
[00:20] Y
    But in one respect, ALfheim Online
    differs greatly from the other
[00:26] ---
    The Seed Project VRMMOs.
[00:29] Y
    The Cardinal System operating the game
    is not a stripped-down version.
[00:35] Y
    It's a copy of the full-spec version
[00:38] ---
    used in the former Sword Art Online.
[00:41] K
    Full-spec version?
[00:43] Y
    The original Cardinal System had an
    auto-generation system for quests.
[00:48] Y
    Via its networks, it gathered traditions
    and legends from all over the world,
[00:53] Y
    and used or rearranged terms
    and story patterns from them
[00:57] ---
    to generate infinite quests.
[01:01] K
    Then, is this quest an auto-generated
    one that Cardinal made?
[01:05] Y
    From the way that NPC was acting, it's likely.
[01:10] Y
    Which means that, depending on
    how the story plays out,
[01:13] Y
    it could go all the way to the myth's end.
[01:17] Y
    According to the data in my archives,
[01:20] Y
    this quest and ALO itself are
    based on Norse mythology,
[01:25] Y
    which culminates in a so-called "final war."
[01:29] Y
    Not only will the frost giants invade
    from Niflheim or Jötunheimr,
[01:35] Y
    but flame giants from an even lower
    level, Muspelheim, will appear,
[01:40] Y
    and burn down the entire World Tree...
[01:46] Su
    Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods.
[01:50] Su
    No way.
[01:51] Su
    There's no way a game system
    would destroy its entire map.
[01:58] Y
    An original Cardinal System
[02:01] ---
    has the access level necessary
    to destroy an entire map.
[02:05] Y
    Because the original Cardinal System's last task
[02:09] ---
    was to destroy the floating castle, Aincrad.
[02:14] Su
    No...
[02:17] L
    My shop...
[02:21] K
    I haven't met the person I'm fated for yet.
[02:25] S
    Even if this Ragnarok occurs,
    wouldn't it be possible
[02:28] ---
    to restore the system
    to an earlier state via backup?
[02:33] Y
    If they use the Cardinal System's auto-backups,
[02:37] Y
    they'll only be able to roll back
    player data, not field data.
[02:44] K
    I know!
[02:48] K
    No good...
[02:50] L
    What are you trying to do?
[02:52] K
    I was going to call a GM, and see
    if they knew this was going on.
SIGN    It is currently outside support hours.  Please send your query  during regular support hours.
[02:58] K
    But it's outside their support hours.
[03:01] K
    Well, it's a Sunday morning,
    and nearly New Year's.
[03:04] Si
    Brother...
[03:06] Si
    There isn't much time.
[03:08] K
    Okay.
[03:10] K
    Let's just hurry to the last level.
[03:12] All
    Yeah!
SIGN    The King of the Giants
[05:08] K
    Damn it.
[05:19] Si
    This is bad, Brother!
[05:21] Si
    The yellow one's physical resistance is too high!
[05:24] K
    Yeah.
[05:24] Kl
    Damn it.
[05:26] ---
    If only we had a mage in our party
    who could use attack spells...
[05:30] K
    You, of all people, are saying that?
[05:32] K
    Anyway, that would just mean the black one with
    high-magic resistance would go to the front.
[05:38] K
    This is really tough to deal with.
[05:42] Y
    Shock-wave attack in two seconds!
[05:45] Y
    One!
[05:46] Y
    Zero!
[06:01] A
    Su Filah Heiragul Austl Blot Suparl Bani.
[06:12] A
    Kirito-kun!
[06:14] A
    At this pace, I'll run out of MP in 150 seconds.
[06:17] K
    Right.
[06:18] Si
    Brother,
[06:20] ---
    the medallion's over seventy-percent black.
[06:24] Si
    If we die, we won't have time to come back.
[06:26] K
    R-Right...
[06:30] K
    Everyone,
[06:31] K
    there's only thing we can do now!
[06:33] K
    You'll be vulnerable to attack,
    but if you do a magic-type Sword Skill,
[06:37] ---
    it might be able to damage the yellow one!
[06:42] K
    We'll have to take the chance,
[06:43] ---
    and concentrate all our Sword Skills
    on the yellow one, to defeat it.
[06:47] Kl
    Okay! I've been waiting for you to say that, Kirito.
[06:57] K
    Silica, time your bubbles to the countdown.
[06:59] ---
    Okay!
[07:01] K
    Two... One... Now!
[07:04] Sil
    Pina, Bubble Breath!
[07:14] K
    Go!
[07:59] Kl
    Kirito!
[08:02] Kl
    I'm frozen.
[08:07] K
    Here.
[09:57] Kl
    What's wrong?
[10:00] Kl
    Get ready for your beat down.
[10:15] All
    We did it!
[10:18] Kl
    Anyway, what was that?
[10:21] K
    Do I have to say?
[10:22] Kl
    Of course!
[10:24] Kl
    I've never seen that before.
[10:26] K
    It's a non-system skill, a Skill Connect.
[10:30] Kl
    Skill Connect?
[10:32] K
    You remember how the last update
    brought Sword Skills into ALO?
[10:37] K
    But that didn't include unique skills,
    such as dual-wielding or Holy Sword.
[10:43] Kl
    But you just used both hands.
[10:46] K
    That wasn't dual-wielding.
[10:50] K
    I used one-handed Sword Skills,
    in succession, with each hand.
[10:54] K
    You can only do them without delay three
    or four times, if you're lucky, though.
[11:02] A
    Now I have an incredible sense of déjà vu.
[11:06] Kl
    Anyway, what was that?
[11:10] K
    Do I have to say?
[11:13] Kl
    Of course!
[11:14] Kl
    I've never seen that before.
[11:18] K
    An extra skill.
[11:20] K
    Dual-wielding.
[11:24] K
    You're imagining it.
[11:26] K
    Anyway, we don't have time to waste.
[11:29] K
    Leafa, how much time do we have left?
[11:33] L
    At the rate it's going, about an hour.
[11:37] K
    I see.
[11:39] K
    Yui, this dungeon has a total of four floors, right?
[11:43] Y
    Yes.
[11:44] Y
    The third floor is only seventy
    percent the size of the second.
[11:47] Y
    The fourth is basically just a boss room.
[11:50] K
    Assuming it takes thirty minutes
    to beat the last boss,
[11:54] K
    we need to reach the boss room in thirty minutes.
[11:57] L
    I guess...
[11:59] L
    Or our only choice is to find
    the King of the Giants, and kick his butt!
[12:09] K
    Okay, once everyone's HP and MP are back to full,
[12:13] K
    we'll clean out the third floor!
[12:15] ---
    Yeah!
[13:02] K
    Right, all that's left is the last boss!
[13:28] P
    Please... Let me out.
[13:36] K
    It's a trap.
[13:37] L
    That's a trap.
[13:38] Si
    Definitely a trap.
[13:40] Kl
    Y-Yeah, it's a trap, isn't it?
[13:43] Kl
    Maybe...
[13:45] K
    Well, Yui?
[13:47] Y
    It's an NPC.
[13:48] Y
    It's connected to the language-engine
    module, just like Urd.
[13:53] Y
    But there's one difference.
[13:56] ---
    She has an HP gauge.
[13:59] K
    If she has HP, that means
    we might have to fight her.
[14:04] A
    It's a trap.
[14:05] Sil
    It's a trap, right?
[14:06] Si
    I think it's a trap.
[14:08] K
    Of course, it might not be,
[14:10] K
    but we don't have time to waste.
[14:13] K
    We need to get to Thrym as soon as possible.
[14:17] Kl
    Y-Yeah...
[14:19] Kl
    You're right, yeah.
[14:23] Gi
    Please... Someone...
[14:26] ---
    Please!
[14:33] Kl
    It's a trap, yeah.
[14:35] Kl
    I know.
[14:37] Kl
    But even if it's a trap...
[14:40] Kl
    Even if I know it's a trap...
[14:43] Kl
    Even if it's a trap, I can't leave her here!
[14:48] Kl
    Even... Even if the quest fails because of that,
[14:51] Kl
    and Arun is destroyed,
[14:53] Kl
    saving her here is something I have to do!
[14:57] Kl
    It's my bushido!
[15:01] Kl
    I'm coming for you!
[15:11] Gi
    Thank you, fairy swordsman.
[15:16] Kl
    Can you stand?
[15:18] Kl
    Are you hurt?
[15:23] Gi
    Yes, I'm fine.
[15:29] Kl
    It's a bit of a ways to the exit.
[15:32] Kl
    Can you get there yourself?
[15:36] Gi
    I cannot simply flee the castle.
[15:41] Gi
    Not until I retrieve my family's treasure,
[15:43] ---
    which Thrym, the King of the Giants, stole.
[15:46] Gi
    Please take me to Thrym's room.
[15:54] A
    This is kind of suspicious, isn't it?
[15:57] K
    Yeah.
[15:57] Kl
    Hey, Kirito...
[16:02] K
    Jeez... Fine, fine.
[16:06] K
    We just have to follow this route to the end.
[16:09] K
    And we don't know with one-hundred-percent
    certainty that it's a trap.
[16:16] Kl
    Okay!
[16:17] Kl
    We'll do it!
[16:18] Kl
    Fate brought us together,
    so we're in this together.
[16:21] Kl
    Let's go beat up that jerk Thrym!
[16:24] Gi
    Thank you, swordsman!
[16:31] K
    Don't give Yui any weird ideas.
SIGN    An NPC wishes to join your party. 
    Will you accept?
[16:38] Kl
    My name is Klein.
[16:38] K
    Freyja...
[16:39] Gi
    A wonderful name.
[16:41] K
    Her MP is really high.
[16:43] K
    A mage type?
[16:49] K
    From the way the dungeon is laid out,
[16:52] ---
    once we go down those stairs,
    we'll be at the last boss's room.
[16:55] K
    He'll probably be tougher than the other bosses,
[16:58] K
    but we'll just have to skip the fancy stuff,
    and hit him as hard as we can.
[17:02] K
    For the first part, I want to defend
    until we know his attack pattern.
[17:06] K
    I'll tell you when to counterattack.
[17:09] K
    When the boss's HP bar turns yellow,
    and when it turns red,
[17:12] ---
    the attack patterns will change, so be careful.
[17:15] K
    This is the last battle. Let's give it all we've got!
[17:19] All
    Yeah!
[17:44] All
    Sea Phila Skina Hagl. Hoggu Margel Ilt!
[17:52] All
    Ord Naza Fyol Legin Tinaga Vilindol Yottsun.
[18:02] Si
    I've never seen a spell that increases your max HP!
[18:27] L
    How many Yuld do you think this is worth?
[18:35] Z
    A fly is buzzing about.
[18:41] Z
    I can hear its irritating buzzing.
[18:47] Z
    Let me see.
[18:52] Z
    I'll crush it
[18:55] Z
    before it causes any trouble.
[19:27] Z
    So Urd has sent the little flies of
    ALfheim all the way down here?
[19:34] Z
    I'll make you an offer, tiny ones.
[19:37] Z
    Tell me where she is,
[19:40] Z
    and you can have as much gold from
    this room as you can take.
[19:46] Kl
    A samurai doesn't eat. He just laughs!
[19:48] Kl
    I won't take up you up on a cheap offer like that.
[20:01] T
    Oh, if it isn't Freyja-dono?
[20:06] T
    If you've left your cage,
[20:08] ---
    does that mean you've decided
    to become my wife?
[20:13] Kl
    Wife?!
[20:15] T
    That's correct.
[20:17] T
    She came here to marry me.
[20:21] T
    But the night before the feast, she was
    sneaking around my treasure vaults.
[20:28] T
    To punish her, I locked her in a cage of ice.
[20:34] Si
    Hey, Brother...
[20:36] Si
    I think I read about this in a book.
[20:38] Si
    Thrym and Freyja,
[20:40] Si
    a stolen treasure...
[20:42] Si
    It was, um... I think...
[20:45] Gi
    I refuse to become your wife!
[20:47] Gi
    These swordsmen and I shall defeat you,
[20:51] Gi
    and take back what was stolen!
[20:54] T
    Such brave words.
[20:56] T
    One can see why the legends
    of Freyja-dono's beauty
[20:59] ---
    and bravery are known to the ends of the world.
[21:02] T
    But the more noble the flower,
[21:04] T
    the more fun it is to pluck.
[21:08] T
    After I've crushed these flies,
[21:11] T
    I'll give you lots of attention.
[21:22] Kl
    You bastard!
[21:23] Kl
    I won't let you!
[21:25] Kl
    I won't let you lay a finger on Freyja-san!
[21:31] T
    I hear the sound of buzzing wings.
[21:34] T
    To celebrate all of Jötunheimr becoming mine,
[21:40] T
    I will start by crushing you.
[21:50] K
    He's coming!
[21:51] K
    Listen carefully to what Yui says,
[21:53] K
    and begin the fight by dodging!
