**[00:00] Will**
This dragon has fought every kind of
Word on every kind of battlefield,
**[00:05] Will**
and defeated them all.
**[00:08] Will**
This...
**[00:10] Will**
This is... a dragon.

***SIGN*** The Evil Dragon and the Goddess
**[01:46] Valacirca**
Well, now, Faraway Paladin...
**[01:50] Valacirca**
You have fought bravely. I commend you.
**[01:55] Valacirca**
Out of respect for the
fight you have put up,
**[01:58] Valacirca**
I offer you this proposal.
**[02:03] Valacirca**
Have you any interest in serving me?
**[02:10] Valacirca**
I see that you are wise to my intentions.
**[02:13] Valacirca**
I am prepared to give you justification.
**[02:18] Valacirca**
Should you refuse to accept my proposal,
**[02:20] Valacirca**
I will burn your companions'
very bones and souls to ashes.
**[02:27] Valacirca**
Thus threatened, you had no choice
but to capitulate to the dragon
**[02:30] Valacirca**
in order to save your companions' lives.
**[02:33] Valacirca**
Well? It serves as an appropriate
excuse, does it not?
**[02:41] Valacirca**
I have seen many humans with
that very look in their eyes.
**[02:46] Valacirca**
Even if I threaten to burn
you to ashes yourself,
**[02:49] Valacirca**
you will not bend or falter.
**[02:53] Valacirca**
You are still trying to ensure that
your companions do not catch on
**[02:57] Valacirca**
as you continue to search for a
way out of this predicament.
**[03:01] Valacirca**
But no matter how hard you try,
your effort is in vain.
**[03:07] Valacirca**
Am I wrong?
**[03:10] Valacirca**
No... There is one way
**[03:14] Valacirca**
for you to avoid giving in to me.
**[03:20] Valacirca**
You need only kill yourself.
**[03:25] Valacirca**
You are loved by the goddess
of flux, are you not?
**[03:28] Valacirca**
Simply cut off your own head.
**[03:32] Valacirca**
After all, the next world awaits you, yes?
**[03:35] Valacirca**
And the next one after that?
**[03:38] Valacirca**
And after that, and after that—
you have infinite chances, do you not?
**[03:45] Valacirca**
If you wish to prevent tragedy,
**[03:47] Valacirca**
simply end your life, as you would throw
a game board if you could not win.
**[03:52] Valacirca**
Tell yourself, "Not here. Next time.
This is not the time for me to fight."
**[03:58] Will**
I won't choose that.
**[04:01] Valacirca**
Very well, then.
**[04:03] Valacirca**
One who sees his own life as
no more valuable than that
**[04:07] Valacirca**
is not worth having in my service.
**[04:11] Valacirca**
Choose, then.
**[04:14] Valacirca**
Will you side with me,
**[04:16] Valacirca**
or will you fight me and die?
**[04:19] Will**
I can well imagine what would
happen if I sided with you.
**[04:23] Will**
I cannot bow to you.
**[04:26] Valacirca**
Your companions will die.
**[04:28] Will**
We came here prepared for that possibility.
**[04:32] Will**
If any of us are lost,
**[04:34] Will**
so long as just one of us survives to put
a blade to your throat, that's enough.
**[04:39] Valacirca**
But surely you see that you
have no chance of winning.
**[04:44] Will**
I do.
**[04:46] Will**
If I hit you thousands—millions—
of times with this blade, I will win.
**[04:53] Will**
Am I wrong?
**[04:57] Valacirca**
Perhaps after many thousands of miracles.
**[05:02] Will**
It doesn't matter how many thousands,
millions, or billions it takes.
**[05:06] Will**
If I have a chance at winning,
at keeping my promise,
**[05:10] Will**
I will bet on it.
**[05:12] Will**
You're about to see how stubborn I can be.
**[05:18] Will**
Evil dragon Valacirca!
**[05:21] Valacirca**
Faraway Paladin.
**[05:23] Will**
I will slay you!
**[05:30] Valacirca**
I will strike you down before you can!

**[06:57] Will**
*Pale Moon...*
**[07:06] Will**
*Valacirca is wounded all over, too.*
**[07:09] Will**
* If I can just get Overeater into him*
* somewhere and extract his life force...*
**[07:14] Valacirca**
Truly a shame.
**[07:27] Valacirca**
I am familiar with that demonblade.
**[07:31] Valacirca**
It is quite a threat, indeed.
**[07:36] Valacirca**
It is said to have been
forged by a demon king
**[07:41] Valacirca**
in order to confront and kill
the sword-obsessed High King.
**[07:48] Valacirca**
But if one knows how it works,
**[07:51] Valacirca**
it can be defeated.
**[07:53] Valacirca**
Much like this.
**[08:01] Will**
* I guess he has no intention of*
* fighting at close range anymore.*
**[08:06] Valacirca**
While it has been entertaining,
**[08:08] Valacirca**
I never dreamed a mere human could
make a fight so difficult,
**[08:16] Valacirca**
Faraway Paladin, William G. Maryblood.
**[08:22] Will**
*My mana's already...*
**[08:24] Valacirca**
I commend you for giving me so many wounds.
**[08:30] Valacirca**
Were we merely testing each other's skills,
**[08:34] Valacirca**
I might have placed a wreath
of victory on your head
**[08:38] Valacirca**
for putting up such a
fight against a dragon.
**[08:41] Valacirca**
Your strength rivals that of the
heroes of the age of gods.
**[08:46] Valacirca**
You are a true man of power—
**[08:50] Valacirca**
a hero of the present age!
**[08:53] Valacirca**
However...
**[08:55] Valacirca**
This is a battle to the death!
**[09:02] Valacirca**
I will not make you suffer.
**[09:05] Valacirca**
At the very least, you can...
**[09:07] Valacirca**
die quickly!
**[09:11] Will**
*I swore an oath to the goddess!*
**[09:24] Valacirca**
A Herald? Too weak to send an Echo, then?
**[09:28] Valacirca**
A wasted effort, goddess of light!
**[09:45] Will**
*Goddess...*
**[09:49] Valacirca**
You value your hero's life that much?
**[09:54] Valacirca**
But the intervention of a mere Herald
from a single god changes nothing!
**[10:14] Valacirca**
Paladin...
**[10:16] Valacirca**
You have proven yourself
worthy to die by my breath.
**[10:21] Valacirca**
I will hold your image within my memory,
**[10:25] Valacirca**
but I will burn you to ash,
body and soul, down to the last bone!
**[10:30] Stagnate**
No, no. I can't have that.
**[10:33] Valacirca**
Who goes there?!
**[10:45] Stagnate**
This hero is my prey. My enemy.
**[10:50] Stagnate**
I am certain of that
after seeing him fight.
**[10:54] Stagnate**
And I won't have him defeated by
another right in front of me.
**[10:58] Valacirca**
The god of the undead, Stagnate?!
**[11:07] Stagnate**
Well, now, evil dragon Valacirca...
**[11:12] Stagnate**
I believe you said the intervention of a
mere Herald from a single god changes nothing.
**[11:21] Stagnate**
You are right.
**[11:23] Stagnate**
That is the prophecy I gave him, as well.
**[11:26] Stagnate**
Heroes are insufficient,
**[11:28] Stagnate**
and heroes with the goddess of light
on their side are still insufficient.
**[11:32] Stagnate**
They stand no chance of slaying the
evil dragon, Calamity's Sickle.
**[11:37] Stagnate**
But come to think of it,
**[11:38] Stagnate**
I didn't consider what the intervention
of *two* gods could do.
**[11:42] Stagnate**
I wonder what would change.
**[11:45] Stagnate**
Would these heroes have
a chance of winning?
**[11:48] Stagnate**
I believe they would have at
least some chance, Valacirca.
**[11:54] Valacirca**
You are as loquacious as ever,
god of the undead.
**[11:58] Stagnate**
You and I are two of a kind.
A detestable kind.
**[12:02] Stagnate**
I feel we have similar tastes.
**[12:05] Valacirca**
My taste is not as bad as yours.
**[12:08] Valacirca**
A life—a soul—only has value if
it burns out with a final twinkle.
**[12:14] Valacirca**
What is the point of living
forever, you worldly fool?
**[12:19] Stagnate**
That itself is poor taste.
**[12:21] Stagnate**
Beautiful things should last forever.
**[12:24] Stagnate**
That is natural. You only seek to destroy.
**[12:29] Valacirca**
What a lady killer you are, paladin.
**[12:33] Valacirca**
Even in the age of gods,
I never saw the like.
**[12:36] Valacirca**
Imagine! *Two* goddesses rushing to
your side when you are in peril!
**[12:40] Will**
Goddess?
**[12:43] Stagnate**
Does it matter whether I
am a god or a goddess?
**[12:48] Stagnate**
To a god, gender is only decorative. Right?
**[12:55] Stagnate**
Don't be so angry, Gracefeel.
**[12:58] Stagnate**
Where's the harm in enjoying
a little perk like this?
**[13:02] Stagnate**
"Why now?" you ask?
**[13:06] Stagnate**
After seeing such a furious battle,
**[13:09] Stagnate**
I would regret *not* intervening much more.
**[13:12] Valacirca**
You would interfere in the great Valacirca's
fight for a reason like that?
**[13:19] Valacirca**
You hero-obsessed hedonist!
**[13:22] Stagnate**
Precisely.
**[13:23] Stagnate**
This hero, this strange paladin,
is worth going mad for.
**[13:30] Stagnate**
Now, this battle is not yet over.
**[13:34] Stagnate**
Do you have the will to fight once more,
**[13:37] Stagnate**
William G. Maryblood?
**[13:39] Stagnate**
My foolish yet clever enemy,
**[13:42] Stagnate**
paladin of the light...
**[13:44] Stagnate**
Uphold your vow and hold your
conviction in your heart.
**[13:47] Stagnate**
You stated that you would fight until
the moment you fell over dead.
**[13:52] Stagnate**
Surely that was not a lie, was it?
**[13:57] Will**
I can't get out of doing this, can I?
**[14:01] Will**
Valacirca!
**[14:03] Valacirca**
What?
**[14:05] Will**
Remember when I said you were about
to see how stubborn I can be?
**[14:12] Valacirca**
Indeed, you are dreadfully stubborn!
**[14:16] Valacirca**
Was it this persistence that set
the gods in action at last?
**[14:20] Valacirca**
You truly are a hero!
**[14:23] Valacirca**
Very well.
**[14:25] Valacirca**
The gods have given you their
utmost blessings and protection,
**[14:28] Valacirca**
allowing a man and a dragon
to stand as equals.
**[14:32] Valacirca**
And burning the hero lauded by the gods
**[14:36] Valacirca**
is what makes me a dragon!
**[14:39] Valacirca**
Now, merciful goddesses
who oversee the soul!
**[14:44] Valacirca**
Lovely maidens who have lost
the protection of war!
**[14:47] Valacirca**
What protections will you give this hero?
**[14:50] Valacirca**
How will you kill me?
**[14:52] Stagnate**
I won't give him any.
**[14:56] Stagnate**
This man is my enemy.
**[14:59] Stagnate**
He declared that he always would be.
**[15:02] Stagnate**
I have no reason to grant
him any protection.
**[15:05] Valacirca**
Oh?
**[15:07] Stagnate**
But surely you haven't
forgotten, Valacirca,
**[15:11] Stagnate**
where you are right now?
**[15:14] Stagnate**
Yes! This is the Iron Country!
**[15:17] Stagnate**
The mountains where the regretful souls
of the warriors of flame reside!
**[15:22] Stagnate**
Now is the time to return!
**[15:25] Stagnate**
Your compatriots,
your descendants, have come back!
**[15:29] Stagnate**
They have brought one who
is undeniably a hero
**[15:32] Stagnate**
to defeat the demons, challenge the dragon,
**[15:35] Stagnate**
and take back the mountains they call home!
**[15:39] Stagnate**
A warrior should not wander about, asleep,
and merely observe such an event!
**[15:43] Stagnate**
Now, take up the sword of vengeance!
**[15:47] Stagnate**
Set the flames of courage ablaze once more,
**[15:51] Stagnate**
dwarven warriors!
**[16:17] Will**
You haven't become undead, have you?
**[16:20] Menel**
Relax. We're alive.
**[16:23] Al**
Yes, as you can see.
**[16:25] Reystov**
Cut it pretty close, though.
**[16:27] Menel**
That solo battle of yours
distracted the dragon.
**[16:30] Al**
And then, with the protection
of our ancestral god...
**[16:34] Al**
It took a while, since I'm not used
to it, but I healed us all.
**[16:37] Will**
I see.
**[16:39] Will**
Al, when you were fighting that demon,
**[16:42] Will**
you earned the divine protection
of Blaze, god of fire.
**[16:45] Al**
Yes.
**[16:47] Ghelreis**
Sir William, what is this?
**[16:50] Will**
They're our allies.
Reinforcements we can rely on.
**[17:14] Al**
Grandfather...
**[17:38] Will**
Huh?
**[17:40] Will**
Shouldn't you give that to Al?
**[18:01] Ghelreis**
Calldawn.
**[18:03] Ghelreis**
An enchanted sword handed down among
the dwarfs since the age of gods,
**[18:08] Ghelreis**
and the blade that took
one of Valacirca's eyes.
**[18:11] Aurvangr**
Hero of the light...
**[18:14] Aurvangr**
Take care of my grandson...
and these mountains.
**[18:18] Aurvangr**
Please.
**[18:24] Al**
Grandfather!
**[18:25] Reystov**
Valacirca's flames burn
everything up, even souls.
**[18:29] Al**
No...
**[18:31] Gracefeel**
Not yet.
**[18:33] Gracefeel**
It's not over yet.
**[18:40] Will**
Goddess...
**[18:42] Gracefeel**
Hear me, you who cannot
preserve your souls.
**[18:47] Gracefeel**
You who have been burned
by the dragon's breath
**[18:49] Gracefeel**
and cannot return to the cycle of rebirth.
**[18:52] Gracefeel**
You who were born into this
world, who lived well,
**[18:55] Gracefeel**
and lived to the fullest.
**[18:57] Gracefeel**
I bestow upon you this final blessing.
**[19:00] Gracefeel**
If, even in death,
even after your souls have perished,
**[19:03] Gracefeel**
you still wish to pursue
what is good and right...
**[19:06] Gracefeel**
I shall guide you!
**[19:08] Gracefeel**
Gather under the heroes who
live in the present day!
**[19:44] Al**
Grandfather...
**[19:47] Aurvangr**
I will not apologize.
**[19:51] Aurvangr**
My grandson...
**[19:53] Aurvangr**
Look after our country,
and all of our people.
**[19:57] Aurvangr**
Please.
**[20:04] Al**
I will.
**[20:09] Al**
You can count on me.
**[20:24] Stagnate**
Sheesh...
**[20:26] Stagnate**
I guess she could never
let me have all the fun.
**[20:38] Valacirca**
It seems you are ready,
**[20:41] Valacirca**
Faraway Paladin.
**[20:43] Will**
You weren't just being nice, were you?
**[20:48] Valacirca**
Certainly not. I merely like
to let my wine age a bit.
**[20:54] Valacirca**
Once you have made your preparations
and gathered all you need,
**[20:57] Valacirca**
you, the heroes, come for me filled
with hope, and I crush you.
**[21:03] Valacirca**
The moment your faces distort in despair...
**[21:07] Valacirca**
For me, that is the greatest joy!
**[21:15] Valacirca**
Now, challenge me once
more, Faraway Paladin!
**[21:20] Valacirca**
Will I kill all of you and add a
new entry to a history of terror,
**[21:25] Valacirca**
or will you slay me and be celebrated
**[21:29] Valacirca**
for your tremendous feat
until the end of time?
**[21:33] Valacirca**
Now is the time to finish this battle!
**[21:40] Will**
I'm going.
**[21:41] Gracefeel**
Yes. I order you once more:
**[21:45] Gracefeel**
Go.
**[21:46] Gracefeel**
Slay the dragon and keep your promise,
**[21:49] Gracefeel**
my knight.
**[21:52] Will**
On my sword, on the light,
**[21:55] Will**
on the souls of the warriors
that dwell within my chest...
**[21:59] Will**
I will slay the evil dragon!
