[00:04] Alice
    My name is Alice!
    Integrity Knight Alice Synthesis Thirty!
[00:10] Alice
    Proxy of the three gods who protect the Human Empire,
    the Priestess of Light!
[00:15] Alice
    All those who stand before me,
    brace for my holy authority
[00:18] Alice
    to vanquish every last one of you!
[00:23] Gabriel
    Alice.
[00:27] Gabriel
    Alicia.
[00:31] Gabriel
    This time... This time I have to capture her!
[00:36] Gabriel
    I have to seize the Lightcube
    where that girl's Fluctlight is stored,
[00:41] Gabriel
    and savor it to my heart's content.
[00:45] Vecta
    All troops, prepare to move!
[00:48] Vecta
    With the pugilists guild in the lead, followed by
    the dark mages guild and the supply corps, head south!
[00:55] Vecta
    Capture that knight,
    the Priestess of Light, unscathed!
SIGN    Sword and Fist
[02:55] Bercouli
    The Dark God Vecta sure seems obsessed with you.
[03:01] Bercouli
    He's planning to come after you
    with his entire army.
[03:04] Alice
    I suppose we should be happy about that.
[03:07] Alice
    It's better than being ignored, at least.
[03:11] Bercouli
    So about our strategy going forward.
[03:13] Bercouli
    The raid unit and I will keep leading the enemy away,
    and reduce their force's numbers.
[03:18] Bercouli
    Does that sound right?
[03:20] Alice
    Yes. We've already annihilated half
    of the invading forces,
[03:24] Alice
    which leaves only the enemy's main force
    of the dark knights and the pugilists.
[03:27] Alice
    We'll wear them down to a certain point,
    and if we can defeat the Dark God Vecta,
[03:32] Alice
    it's highly likely that the remaining enemies
    will be open to a truce.
[03:37] Bercouli
    The problem is, who will be leading the enemy
    when that happens?
[03:43] Bercouli
    If only that Shasta brat were alive.
[03:46] Alice
    Uncle, you think the dark general is already dead?
[03:50] Bercouli
    Yeah. I can't detect him in the main enemy force.
[03:54] Bercouli
    I did have a feeling that maybe...
[04:02] Renly
    Allow me to report, my lord Knight Commander.
[04:05] Renly
    There'll be no problem using the designated spot
    in the south for our ambush.
[04:08] Bercouli
    All right. Thanks for checking.
[04:10] Bercouli
    Have the units prepare to move out.
[04:14] Bercouli
    Your dragon must be exhausted.
[04:17] Bercouli
    Be sure to give it plenty of food and water.
[04:20] Renly
    Yes, sir!
[04:25] Alice
    Uncle?
[04:27] Bercouli
    Oh, it's just that...
[04:28] Bercouli
    Robbing people of their memories,
    and freezing their life to create Integrity Knights...
[04:33] Bercouli
    I agree the Synthesis Ritual shouldn't be allowed.
[04:38] Bercouli
    But it'll be a shame not to have young fellows like him
    joining the order anymore, you know?
[04:45] Alice
    I don't believe that
    having your memory altered and your life frozen
[04:51] Alice
    is the only way
    to become an Integrity Knight, Uncle.
[04:56] Alice
    Even if none of us are left standing, our souls...
[05:01] Alice
    our purpose will be inherited
    by those who come after us.
[05:05] Alice
    That's what I believe.
[05:20] Alice
    Something's coming.
[05:25] Bercouli
    That has to be the pugilists.
[05:28] Bercouli
    They're going to be a handful.
[05:30] Bercouli
    They'll gladly take injuries from a bare fist,
    but they absolutely refuse to be slashed with a sword.
[05:37] Alice
    What? Refuse?
[05:38] Bercouli
    The more training those pugilists undergo,
[05:42] Bercouli
    the more they're convinced
    "a blade is nothing to be afraid of."
[05:45] Bercouli
    That becomes their willpower,
[05:47] Bercouli
    and they literally harden their physical bodies
    to deflect any blade.
[05:52] Bercouli
    Either way, we'll need to prepare ourselves
    to defend against them.
[05:59] Sheyta
    I shall go.
[06:17] Iskahn
    Pretty soon, I'll get to fight an Integrity Knight...
    someone powerful!
[06:31] Iskahn
    Who the hell are you? What are you doing there?
[06:40] Sheyta
    I'm here... to keep you from advancing.
[06:46] Iskahn
    You couldn't even stop one brat.
[06:49] Iskahn
    Or wait... are you a knight
    who can only cast arts?
[06:55] Sheyta
    I'm not skilled in the formal arts.
[06:59] Iskahn
    Whatever.
[07:01] Iskahn
    Yotte, fight her.
[07:02] Yotte
    You got it!
[07:09] Sheyta
    Only one?
[07:10] Yotte
    That's what I'm saying, you beanpole!
[07:13] Yotte
    Shut up and draw your sword!
[07:24] Iskahn
    What the hell is that?
[07:29] Yotte
    Don't mess with me!
[07:53] Administrator
    I'm told that you always keep to yourself.
[07:57] Administrator
    Why is that?
[08:01] Administrator
    You don't care for other people? Or...
[08:05] Administrator
    are you afraid that you'll end up slashing them?
[08:10] Administrator
    Your desire to slash is written all over your face.
[08:14] Administrator
    You'd like to slash everything in sight.
[08:18] Administrator
    It's like you're cursed with a murderous impulse.
[08:22] Administrator
    Oh, not that I'm scolding you.
[08:26] Administrator
    And besides, I'm sure this is quite good news for you.
[08:32] Administrator
    You brought this back from your last
    reconnaissance mission of the Dark Territory.
[08:39] Administrator
    This flower has absorbed massive amounts
    of the spatial resources generated on the battlefield.
[08:44] Administrator
    I'm going to turn it into your Divine Object.
[08:47] Administrator
    A sword with the highest priority
    that can slash anything.
[09:04] Administrator
    This sword is a manifestation
    of the curse carved into your soul.
[09:10] Administrator
    A curse known as "murderous impulse," created by
    the distortion of your inherited characteristic parameters.
[09:17] Administrator
    Slash... slash... slash on and on.
[09:20] Administrator
    Only at the end of that blood-smeared path
    will you find the key to breaking your curse.
[09:26] Administrator
    At least, you might.
[09:44] Alice
    What a savage style of fighting.
[09:47] Alice
    That said, for how violent her attacks are,
    I'm not detecting a murderous impulse from Lady Sheyta.
[09:53] Alice
    Not even hostility.
[09:55] Bercouli
    Don't think about it.
[09:57] Bercouli
    I've known her for over a hundred years,
    and I still have no idea what she's thinking.
[10:02] Bercouli
    Not a clue.
[10:03] Bercouli
    It's fine if we leave this to her.
[10:06] Bercouli
    The enemy's main force will catch up soon.
[10:10] Bercouli
    We have to get ready for their attack.
[10:14] Alice
    Yes, sir.
[10:27] Messenger
    The units are in position.
[10:29] Renly
    Okay.
[10:31] Renly
    According to the knight commander,
    the pugilists are vulnerable to the sacred arts.
[10:36] Renly
    There might not be enough spatial resources
    on the empty grasslands,
[10:40] Renly
    but since there's some growth here,
[10:43] Renly
    the monks should have enough sacred power
    to launch a concerted attack.
[10:47] Renly
    And then if we can use our five dragons
    to burn the confused enemy forces...
[10:55] Renly
    That reminds me, where's the Supply Corps?
[10:56] Messenger
    Sir.
[10:58] Messenger
    They're standing by at a distance from the front lines,
    so as not to get caught in the battle.
[11:02] Renly
    Got it. Thank you.

SIGN    1 hour before the raid unit advanced
[11:29] Vassago
    Hey, bro!
[11:30] Vassago
    Isn't it about time we stop delegating
    and wreak a little havoc ourselves?
[11:35] Vecta
    Then you go and wreak some havoc first.
[11:39] Vecta
    Let's see...
[11:43] Vecta
    Stand by in these woods.
[11:45] Vassago
    So if I stay there, something fun will happen?
[11:49] Vecta
    Go and have fun. PK-ing, that is.
[12:00] Vassago
    Five down.
[12:14] Iskahn
    Don't get so...
[12:18] Iskahn
    ...full of yourself, dammit!
[12:26] Iskahn
    To my fists...
[12:28] Iskahn
    your armor is like paper!
[13:01] Iskahn
    Damn you, woman,
    your appearance is totally misleading, huh?
[13:06] Sheyta
    I'm... older than you.
[13:11] Iskahn
    Well, of course you are.
[13:13] Iskahn
    You Integrity Knights are monsters
    that don't age for decades, right?
[13:18] Iskahn
    So should I call you grandma instead?
[13:23] Sheyta
    I'll allow it.
[13:25] Sheyta
    Because you're remarkably hard.
[13:28] Sheyta
    I can barely find any places to slash.
[13:32] Iskahn
    What are you talking about?
[13:33] Iskahn
    Still, I guess all those rumors about the Integrity Knights
    being crazy powerful like demons were true.
[13:39] Iskahn
    Just look what you did to my comrades.
[13:49] Iskahn
    Damn you, you're holding back, aren't you?
[13:53] Iskahn
    Treating us like we're your training dummies...
    That's unforgivable.
[14:00] Iskahn
    No matter what, I'm going to crush you!
[14:28] Iskahn
    Here I come!
[14:42] Iskahn
    Don't think that the only move
    a pugilist has is punching!
[14:49] Iskahn
    Take that!
[15:09] Iskahn
    You're starting to look like a real fighter now.
[15:13] Iskahn
    But you don't have nearly enough muscles.
[15:16] Iskahn
    Eat and train more, woman.
[15:21] Sheyta
    You, too. Just now, you became a bit softer.
[15:27] Iskahn
    What the hell did you say?
    I'm not going easy on you anymore.
[15:31] Iskahn
    I'm going to show you what's it like
    when I go all-out!
[15:34] Iskahn
    So you go all-out, too!
[15:37] Iskahn
    And would you stop looking so sleepy?
[15:46] Sheyta
    Well, that's the spirit... then.
[15:50] Iskahn
    Yeah, that's the spirit.
[16:27] Iskahn
    I've never fought anyone like her before.
[16:29] Iskahn
    Seriously, she's getting me fired up!
[16:45] Sheyta
    I wonder why I'm doing this?
[16:49] Sheyta
    This pugilist's attack...
[16:52] Sheyta
    I was startled to see him display willpower
    worthy of an elite knight,
[16:55] Sheyta
    but he seemed soft everywhere
    except his arms.
[16:58] Sheyta
    Just cut off his head and finish it.
    That's what I should do. But...
[17:04] Sheyta
    It's unbelievably hard. Will I be able to slash it?
[17:08] Sheyta
    This is fun.
[17:12] Iskahn
    What the hell? You couldn't look more frail,
    and you're a well-bred lady from the Human Empire.
[17:17] Iskahn
    But you're the same as me after all!
[17:20] Iskahn
    No good, huh?
    I'm getting overpowered here, too?
[17:24] Iskahn
    Nothing I can do.
[17:25] Iskahn
    Well, this isn't a bad way to die.
[17:37] Iskahn
    Dampa! What the hell are you doing?
[17:40] Dampa
    Time's up, Champion.
    The main force has caught up to us.
[17:47] Iskahn
    Woman! Don't think this means you've won!
[17:53] Sheyta
    Calling me "woman"...
[17:56] Sheyta
    I want you to stop.
[17:57] Iskahn
    Listen!
[17:58] Iskahn
    First of all, how are you going to
    get out of a situation like thi—
[18:08] Iskahn
    You little...
[18:10] Iskahn
    Hey! At least tell me your name
    before you run off!
[18:14] Sheyta
    I'm not running off. I am...
[18:19] Sheyta
    Sheyta Synthesis Twelve.
[18:41] Vassago
    That's right. Keep coming straight this way.
[18:56] Vassago
    Hey, baby. How'd you spot me?
[18:59] Ronie
    My senpai taught me not to rely on my eyes,
    but to sense everything.
[19:04] Vassago
    S-Senpai, did you say?
[19:08] Ronie
    Enemy attack! Enemy attack!
[19:22] Vassago
    You guys... time to work!
[19:34] Renly
    The enemy's behind us?
[19:36] Renly
    Dozens of them?
[19:38] Renly
    This is bad! If they burn our supplies,
    it would immobilize the whole army.
[19:42] Renly
    Not to mention, those three are behind us.
[19:45] Renly
    I should call for backup. But if we move the raid unit now,
    it'll give away our strategy to the enemy.
[19:50] Renly
    No, our ambush has already
    been compromised, right?
[19:53] Renly
    Then we should send the entire force south—
[19:55] Bercouli
    Who would've thought they figured out
    our plan to head south, and placed soldiers here.
[20:02] Renly
    My lord Knight Commander!
[20:05] Bercouli
    Renly.
[20:06] Bercouli
    Give the order to retreat.
[20:08] Bercouli
    Little one, rush over and help the Supply Corps.
[20:12] Bercouli
    I'll hold off the enemy coming from the north.
[20:14] Renly
    Yes, sir!
[20:16] Alice
    You say you'll hold them off...
[20:17] Alice
    but Uncle, the enemy pugilist guild
    numbers close to 5,000.
[20:22] Bercouli
    Well, I'll find a way. Now get going!
[20:26] Alice
    Uncle. Good luck.
[20:40] Tiese
    Ronie!
[20:45] Vassago
    This is it! This feeling!
[20:48] Vassago
    The pleasure from playing with someone's life,
    their bonds, with the tip of your sword!
[20:53] Vassago
    No wonder I can't give up player killing!
[21:08] Ronie
    Lady... Stacia.
[21:22] Scout
    Wh-What's going on? The ground!
[21:47] Vassago
    Are you kidding me? Hey, are you kidding me?
[21:50] Vassago
    That face. That hair. That presence.
[21:55] Vassago
    That has to be the KoB's... "Lightning Flash"!
[23:36] Asuna
    Next time: Stacia, the Goddess of Creation.
