[00:06] Will
    Stagnate is consumed by
    the desire to kill me.
[00:09] Will
    We're on even footing.
[00:11] Will
    If I fight him now...
[00:18] Will
    No! The temple!
SIGN    Accelerate
[00:19] Will
    Acceleratio!
[00:22] Will
    It was all a bluff!
[00:23] Will
    He was pretending to be consumed by rage,
[00:25] Will
    and then he used the cloud of dust...
[00:28] Will
    It's Blood and Mary that he's after!
[00:31] Will
    Let me get there in time!
[00:34] Will
    Please!
[00:35] Will
    Acceleratio!
SIGN    Accelerate
[00:39] Will
    If I can believe what Stagnate says,
[00:41] Will
    maybe I'm someone he considers
    worth being cautious of.
[00:45] Will
    But that's not going to mean anything
    to an undead god who can live forever.
[00:51] Will
    His priority right now is getting
    to Blood and Mary, and then Gus.
[00:55] Will
    Now that I have the divine protection of the
    goddess of light and can pray for her blessing,
[01:00] Will
    I can return the three of them to
    the cycle of death and rebirth!
[01:02] Will
    That's what he was being cautious of!
[01:04] Will
    He weighed Blood and Mary's
    souls against the risk I posed,
[01:08] Will
    and tried to play the fool...
[01:11] Will
    That's what I was trying
    to do in the beginning!
SIGN    The Faraway Paladin
[01:21] Will
    Mary! Blood!
[01:42] Will
    It's no use. I won't get to him in time.
[01:46] Will
    I borrowed the strength of a goddess
[01:48] Will
    and finally managed to stand
    on even footing with him,
[01:51] Will
    but then I fell for a trick like that...
[01:54] Will
    And now it's all over?
[02:07] Will
    I don't remember seeing her before... but...
[02:19] Will
    And then everything was clear to me.
[02:23] Will
    Mary had been forgiven all along.
[02:27] Will
    She never resented Mary at all.
[02:31] Will
    Mary never sought forgiveness,
[02:33] Will
    nor did she expect lenient treatment.
[02:37] Will
    That's why she continued to watch over
    her and admonish her as she wished.
[02:41] Will
    And she's kept that up for 200 years,
    never revoking her divine blessing,
[02:47] Will
    until Mary could forgive herself.
[02:50] Will
    What mother wouldn't protect
    an imperiled daughter
[02:53] Will
    who's devoted her life to worshiping her?
[02:56] Will
    The earth-mother Mater that Mary
    reveres is truly a great goddess.
[03:01] Will
    In this moment that Mater has granted me...
[03:04] Will
    Gracefeel, Goddess of Light!
[03:06] Will
    Grant this soul peace and guidance!
[03:09] Will
    The Divine Torch guides souls into
    the cycle of death and rebirth,
[03:12] Will
    but it still can't completely
    defeat Stagnate.
[03:15] Will
    So what I need to do is...
[03:17] Blood
    Wha—
[03:18] Will
    That's right.
[03:19] Will
    Since these two aren't resisting, the Divine
    Torch will guide them back to that cycle.
[03:23] Will
    Which means...
[03:25] Will
    You have to protect them!
[03:26] Stagnate
    Delay the cycle!
[03:28] Stagnate
    Flummox the guidance!
[03:33] Will
    And in the moment when he
    erases my technique...
[03:42] Will
    Acceleratio!
SIGN    Accelerate
[03:46] Stagnate
    Vasta—
SIGN    Devastate
[03:47] Gus
    Tacere, Os!
SIGN    Be Silent, Mouth
[03:50] (Flashback) Gus
    You'll start by learning how to use
    minor magic skillfully and accurately.
[03:56] Will
    An exhilarating strike like
    that is far more Gus's style
[03:58] Will
    than extravagant magic that
    would erase his existence!
[04:11] Stagnate
    Curse you...
[04:12] Stagnate
    Curse you!
[04:15] Stagnate
    Will, child of Blood and Mary,
    disciple of Gracefeel!
[04:19] Stagnate
    I will remember that name!
[04:21] Stagnate
    Until you surrender to me, your nights
    will bring you no rest or repose!
[04:30] Will
    That's the kind of thing a
    third-rate villain would say,
[04:33] Will
    God.
[04:41] Will
    I swear on Gracefeel's light
[04:43] Will
    that I will never become like you.
[04:46] Will
    I will live right...
[04:48] Will
    and then die.

[05:13] Will
    That was way too close.
[05:15] Will
    This Overeater that Blood gave me,
[05:18] Will
    Gus defeating the double of the Echo,
[05:22] Will
    Mary's earth-mother Mater buying me time...
[05:26] Will
    All the things that the three
    of them have given me...
[05:29] Will
    The sword, the magic,
    and the prayer technique,
[05:32] Will
    and most importantly, the part that's
    essentially my core as a person...
[05:37] Will
    If I'd been without any one of them,
    I never would've stood a chance.
[05:42] Will
    It's all thanks to the goddess's
    divine protection...
[05:45] Will
    and the three of them.
[05:48] Mary
    Will...
[05:50] Mary
    Will, I'm so glad you're all right.
[05:53] Will
    Mary...
[05:57] Blood
    You did great.
[05:59] Will
    Blood...
[06:01] Gus
    You may not share blood, but you are
    still the child of Blood and Mary.
[06:05] Gus
    It's only natural that you
    could accomplish this.
[06:10] Will
    Yeah... I did it.
[06:13] Will
    I did it.
[06:19] Will
    I protected them. I'm here
    now with the three of them.
[06:22] Blood
    Okay, then!
[06:23] Blood
    I guess this calls for a party to celebrate
    this victory and Will's adulthood.
[06:27] Mary
    You're right. I think cleaning up
    here can wait until another day.
[06:31] Gus
    Well, in that case, we'll have to break
    out the you-know-what from 200 years ago.
[06:36] Blood
    You mean that stuff from the dwarfs?!
[06:38] Blood
    You've been hiding something
    like that from us, Old Gus?
[06:40] Gus
    Well, it seemed a waste
    to let a child drink it.
[06:44] Will
    What is it? Something tasty?
[06:46] Gus
    So tasty that even I would love to
    drink it, if I had a corporeal body.
[06:48] Blood
    Well, you can still fake it,
    can't you? We're celebrating!
[06:51] Will
    Yeah! Drink with us, Gus!
[06:54] Mary
    Will...
[06:55] Mary
    Be careful not to drink too much.
[06:57] Mary
    If you repeat what happened last time,
[07:00] Mary
    I won't show mercy again.
[07:02] Will
    Y-Yes, ma'am.
[07:03] Mary
    That also goes for you, Blood.
[07:04] Blood
    S-Sure...
[07:05] Gus
    What on earth are you doing?
[07:08] Gus
    Anyway, I suppose I should go and get it.
[07:11] Blood
    We should go, too.
[07:12] Will
    Yeah.
[07:18] Will
    Huh?
[07:19] Will
    Mary?
[07:21] Will
    Blood?
[07:24] Blood
    I guess we can't after all, huh?
[07:26] Mary
    Yes, it seems we can't.
[07:28] Mary
    But that's how it goes.
[07:29] Mary
    We lost our attachment,
[07:31] Mary
    denied selling our souls
    to the god of the undead,
[07:33] Mary
    and insisted we wanted to remain undead.
[07:36] Mary
    This couldn't last.
[07:37] Blood
    Yeah, that's for sure.
[07:39] Blood
    I wish we could be spared just one night,
    but I guess that ain't happening.
[07:43] Mary
    Gracefeel has been exceedingly easy on us.
[07:47] Mary
    Under normal circumstances,
    we might have vanished instantly.
[07:51] Will
    What are you guys talking about?
[07:53] Blood
    Listen, Will...
[07:55] Blood
    This is the end for Mary and me.
[07:58] Will
    Y-You're joking, right?
[08:00] Will
    We're supposed to be celebrating!
    That's just mean!
[08:04] Mary
    Will...
[08:06] Mary
    You are a clever boy.
    I'm sure you understand.
[08:12] Blood
    Sorry about this.
[08:14] Mary
    We are sorry.
[08:19] Will
    Can't anything be done?
[08:21] Mary
    No.
[08:22] Mary
    Even if something could be
    done, we mustn't do it.
[08:25] Blood
    It's like you said. You gotta
    live right, and then die.
[08:30] Blood
    We got lost for a couple of centuries,
    but you could just call that a detour.
[08:34] Mary
    Besides, parents should always
    die before their children.
[08:37] Mary
    That's the first rule of nature.
[08:42] Will
    Right...
[08:44] Will
    Yeah. I guess so.
[08:49] Will
    But... I'm going to say something I'm
    not supposed to, just this once.
[08:54] Will
    I still don't want to see you two die.
[09:00] Will
    I want to see you again when
    I come back here someday.
[09:05] Will
    I want to duel with Blood,
    defeat him, and be defeated.
[09:09] Will
    I want us to say silly things to each other.
[09:12] Will
    I want to do chores with Mary,
[09:14] Will
    and hear her say that I've gotten better.
[09:17] Will
    I want you to meet my children
    and grandchildren someday,
[09:20] Will
    and I want you to teach
    them lots of things, too!
[09:23] Will
    It's just cruel to say
    you're going away now!
[09:26] Will
    I don't want you to!
[09:28] Will
    If you two go away, I...
[09:31] Will
    I don't know how I'm supposed to go on...
[09:34] Will
    Don't go...
[09:36] Will
    I can't take it.
[09:38] Will
    Stay here, even if you
    have to cheat somehow.
[09:47] Blood
    Don't be selfish, now.
[09:49] Mary
    Blood is right. Be reasonable.
[10:01] Blood
    First time I've felt like a dad in ages.
[10:03] Mary
    Will was always a good boy.
[10:07] Blood
    Listen, Will. Even if we go away,
[10:10] Blood
    humans can live just fine as
    long as they eat and sleep.
[10:13] Blood
    You'll find something else to hold dear.
[10:16] Blood
    When all's said and done,
    you'll go on living.
[10:18] Blood
    Once you leave here,
    you're gonna make lots of friends,
[10:22] Blood
    bag yourself two or three pretty girls,
[10:24] Blood
    and have all kinds of fun.
[10:26] Mary
    Blood! Don't encourage him to be insincere!
[10:29] Mary
    Will, you must be sincere
    in love and marriage.
[10:34] Mary
    Now that you've sworn your oath to the
    goddess of light and killed a god,
[10:39] Mary
    the path you walk is sure
    to be filled with troubles.
[10:43] Mary
    You will most likely experience setbacks
[10:45] Mary
    and be a target for unjustified criticism.
[10:48] Mary
    You may be betrayed by people you help,
[10:50] Mary
    your good deeds may be forgotten,
[10:52] Mary
    you may lose all that you had gained,
[10:54] Mary
    and you may end up with nothing but enemies.
[10:58] Mary
    Even so...
[10:59] Mary
    love others.
[11:01] Mary
    Do good things.
[11:04] Mary
    Do not fear loss, build rather than destroy,
[11:07] Mary
    forgive sins, offer hope in despair,
[11:11] Mary
    and be a source of joy in sad times.
[11:14] Mary
    And protect the weak from
    violence of all kinds.
[11:19] Mary
    Just like the way you challenged
    the undead god for our sake.
[11:24] Will
    Okay.
[11:26] Mary
    Oh, Will... William...
[11:29] Mary
    Blood's and my sweet child...
[11:32] Mary
    May the divine protection of the spirits of courage
    and the virtuous gods be with you always.
[11:39] Blood
    Listen. Move forward with faith
    in the results you'll achieve.
[11:43] Blood
    Once a person makes up their
    mind, they can do anything.
[11:47] Blood
    You might get lost in your
    own thoughts sometimes,
[11:49] Blood
    but don't get so stressed
    that you freeze in place.
[11:52] Will
    I engraved the images of them and
    the words they said into my heart.
[11:58] Will
    I won't forget them.
[11:59] Will
    Just like the light of the goddess,
[12:02] Will
    I know they'll always light my path.
[12:06] Gus
    Uh... Ahem!
[12:08] Gus
    Did I get here a bit too soon?
[12:16] Will
    After that, we all celebrated
    my victory and my adulthood.
[12:21] Will
    The first drink I had with
    all four of us together
[12:24] Will
    left a lasting impression with
    its strong burn and rich aroma.
[12:50] Will
    That day, the holy light guided my parents
[12:54] Will
    back into the cycle of death and rebirth.
[13:04] Will
    Yeah.
[13:05] Will
    The view really is the best from right here.
[13:09] Will
    Mary, Blood...
[13:11] Will
    I know you're not here anymore,
[13:14] Will
    but I'll still come back to let
    you know how things are going.
[13:17] Will
    If I make friends or start
    a family, I'll bring them.
[13:21] Will
    I'll become an adult who
    can tell you with pride
[13:24] Will
    that your child is living well.
[13:28] Will
    So, for now, I'll be leaving
    you for a little while.
[13:33] Gus
    Are you all done?
[13:35] Will
    Yeah.
[13:36] Will
    By the way...
[13:38] Will
    Why didn't you die, too?
[13:40] Gus
    How cruel! You would wish
    death upon an old man?!
[13:44] Gus
    Evil grandchild!
[13:45] Will
    Aw, you're making me sad.
[13:47] Will
    I was just thinking all your treasures
    would be mine if you died.
[13:53] Gus
    You are an evil grandchild!
[13:55] Gus
    The evil grandchild just outed himself!
[13:57] Will
    C'mon, I just meant all the money you have
    no use for would finally have a use!
[14:02] Will
    Right, Grandpa?
[14:04] Gus
    That is true. Fine, take it.
[14:07] Will
    Huh?
[14:10] Will
    What is all this?!
[14:12] Gus
    My treasure.
[14:13] Gus
    I'll lend it to you interest-free.
[14:15] Gus
    Make it grow, you hear?
[14:16] Will
    Er, b-but... I-I mean...
[14:19] Gus
    Stagnant money that never gets
    spent might as well be dead.
[14:22] Gus
    I don't like stagnant money.
[14:24] Gus
    Make good use of it.
[14:26] Will
    Gus...
[14:29] Will
    So this is my last gift from Gus...
[14:32] Gus
    Not that I'll be passing on for a
    good ten more years, of course.
[14:35] Will
    Huh?
[14:36] Gus
    Well, you know, there is still the matter
    of guarding the High King's seal.
[14:40] Gus
    I made a little deal last
    night with your goddess.
[14:44] Gus
    She granted me permission to
    continue wandering this city
[14:47] Gus
    for at least ten more years, until the
    god of the undead regains his power.
[14:50] Will
    What?!
[14:51] Gus
    I have become something like
    Gracefeel's errand boy, it seems.
[14:57] Will
    Th-Then... what about Mary and Blood?
[14:59] Gus
    It seems they did not want that.
[15:04] Gus
    Giving them another ten years would make
    them greedy and reluctant to end it.
[15:08] Gus
    If given ten years, they would want
    another ten, then another ten,
[15:12] Gus
    and then to remain at
    least until you pass on.
[15:15] Gus
    They knew they would want that,
    so they chose to die.
[15:20] Gus
    Just like you, who tried to appear strong
[15:23] Gus
    when you were crying and
    screaming on the inside.
[15:28] Gus
    Granting a position that inspires such
    greed to just one old man is enough.
[15:34] Will
    You really are so rock 'n roll, Gus.
[15:40] Will
    What will you do with the seal in ten years?
[15:43] Gus
    You'll have to figure that out before then.
[15:46] Will
    Huh? You're dumping it on me?!
[15:47] Gus
    It seems the worship of Gracefeel has
    gone out of style in the world outside.
[15:52] Gus
    She used a great deal of strength
    just intervening for us.
[15:57] Gus
    So the goddess of light's future
    depends on your efforts, as well.
[16:02] Will
    I haven't even left, and I keep picking up
    more baggage, both physical and mental.
[16:06] Will
    I guess this is one of the hardships
    I'm destined to suffer.
[16:09] Gus
    In any case, you'll need money.
[16:11] Gus
    Take it, take it!
[16:12] Will
    Yeah... It seems like I'm
    gonna have a lot to do,
[16:16] Will
    so I'll accept it gratefully.
[16:34] Will
    Well, I'm going now.
[16:45] Gus
    Say, Will...
[16:46] Gus
    If you're going out into the world,
    you'll need a last name to go by.
[16:52] Gus
    Those two gave you the name "William,"
    so I thought I'd give you a last name.
[16:57] Gus
    How about it?
[16:57] Will
    Okay, sure.
[16:59] Gus
    Then perhaps I'll hijack a custom used
    by certain clans of elves and halflings.
[17:04] Gus
    They put their two parents' names
    together to form their last names.
[17:10] Gus
    Maryblood.
[17:12] Gus
    You are William Maryblood.
[17:16] Will
    Maryblood...
[17:18] Gus
    Take their names with you.
[17:22] Will
    Thank you, Gus.
[17:24] Will
    I like that name a lot!
[17:28] Will
    Well, take care.
[17:30] Gus
    Indeed.
[17:32] Will
    Oh, and I'll add "G" for my middle name!
[17:35] Gus
    You fool! You don't need my initial!
[17:38] Gus
    What did you learn in
    those classes of yours?!
[17:40] Will
    Well, you're Gus, after all!
[17:42] Will
    "Old Man Augustus" is just
    too much work to say!
[17:45] Gus
    Hmph. What a hopeless grandson you are.
[17:49] Gus
    Well, so long, William G. Maryblood!
[17:53] Will
    Goodbye, Gus! I'll see you again sometime!
[19:39] (Flashback) Blood
    Hey, fortress general! Doin' good?
[19:43] (Flashback) Blood
    It's only natural
[19:45] (Flashback) Blood
    for two warriors to introduce themselves
    and say a few words before facing off...
[19:56] (Flashback) Blood
    But you demons are just so damn boorish.
[19:59] (Flashback) Mary
    Being told that by the likes of you
    must leave that demon at quite a loss.
[20:03] (Flashback) Blood
    What a mean thing to say.
[20:06] (Flashback) Blood
    How's it going on your end?
[20:07] (Flashback) Mary
    I performed the funeral quite easily
[20:10] (Flashback) Mary
    and stopped the transformation to undead.
[20:14] (Flashback) Blood
    Looks like Old Gus's group did just fine.
[20:17] (Flashback) Mary
    It appears so.
[20:18] (Flashback) Blood
    In any case, we've taken down the fortress.
[20:21] (Flashback) Blood
    It won't hurt anything for
    Old Gus's group to retreat.
[20:24] (Flashback) Mary
    The fortress general fell
    at the hands of so few.
[20:27] (Flashback) Mary
    Any more is just reckless.
[20:28] (Flashback) Blood
    Don't praise me. You'll make me blush.
[20:30] (Flashback) Mary
    I wasn't praising you.
[20:32] (Flashback) Mary
    How many days will destroying the
    bridge over the Great Canyon buy us?
[20:36] (Flashback) Blood
    A few at most.
[20:38] (Flashback) Blood
    We're never gonna get anywhere
    unless we take out the High King.
[20:41] (Flashback) Mary
    Gus seems to have a plan in mind.
[20:43] (Flashback) Blood
    Probably still a one-way street, though.
[20:46] (Flashback) Blood
    There won't be any way back.
[20:49] (Flashback) Blood
    You're not coming.
[20:51] (Flashback) Mary
    That's rather sudden.
[20:52] (Flashback) Mary
    I am a valuable asset in
    battle, if I do say so myself.
[20:56] (Flashback) Blood
    I know. But you're still not coming.
[20:59] (Flashback) Blood
    Seeing you die would make me sick.
[21:02] (Flashback) Blood
    What?
[21:04] (Flashback) Mary
    Couldn't you, at least, add,
    "because I love you," to that?
[21:08] (Flashback) Mary
    It would be pleasing, primarily to me.
[21:10] (Flashback) Blood
    L-Like hell I'm gonna say
    something that irritating!
[21:13] (Flashback) Mary
    You really are hopeless, you know that?
[21:16] (Flashback) Mary
    And what if I refuse to stay behind?
[21:18] (Flashback) Blood
    I'll send you back if I have to
    knock you unconscious to do it.
[21:20] (Flashback) Blood
    I even got Old Gus's permission.
[21:23] (Flashback) Mary
    I see. And I suppose it would
    be pointless to resist.
[21:25] (Flashback) Blood
    Yeah. Your skills aren't bad,
[21:28] (Flashback) Blood
    but they're no match for the skills
    of the great and peerless Blood.
[21:31] (Flashback) Mary
    Then, let's do this.
[21:33] (Flashback) Mary
    If you leave me behind,
    I will kill myself on the spot.
[21:35] (Flashback) Blood
    Y-You—
[21:37] (Flashback) Mary
    Did you not hear me?
[21:38] (Flashback) Mary
    I said that if I can't go with you,
    I will kill myself on the spot.
[21:42] (Flashback) Mary
    Now, you will take me along, yes?
[21:43] (Flashback) Blood
    Th-That's not fair! In a lot of ways!
[21:46] (Flashback) Mary
    You may be the strongest man there is,
[21:49] (Flashback) Mary
    but no man can win against a woman.
[21:51] (Flashback) Blood
    You're so damn stubborn...
[21:54] (Flashback) Blood
    Man, I landed one crazy woman.
[21:57] (Flashback) Mary
    We haven't even done anything,
    and you call me your woman?
[22:00] (Flashback) Blood
    Listen, Mary...
[22:02] (Flashback) Blood
    If I make it back alive,
[22:04] (Flashback) Blood
    let's find some quiet,
    peaceful place to get married.
[22:11] (Flashback) Mary
    Okay.
[22:14] (Flashback) Mary
    I would love to.
[22:18] (Flashback) Blood
    I'd like a quiet house,
    maybe up on a hill with a nice view.
[22:22] (Flashback) Mary
    That sounds lovely.
[22:24] (Flashback) Mary
    I'm sure the breeze would feel nice.
[22:26] (Flashback) Mary
    We could even start a vegetable garden.
[22:28] (Flashback) Blood
    And if we ever have a kid,
[22:30] (Flashback) Blood
    we can ask Old Gus to tutor them.
[22:33] (Flashback) Mary
    Despite all that he may say,
    I believe he would agree to that.
[22:37] (Flashback) Blood
    And if our kid is a boy,
    I'll teach him how to fight.
[22:42] (Flashback) Blood
    Between that and Old Gus's magic,
[22:44] (Flashback) Blood
    he'll be the strongest man around,
    even stronger than me!
[22:47] (Flashback) Blood
    How's that sound?
[22:48] (Flashback) Mary
    I'm terrified that he would turn out
    to be a very strong, clever failure.
[22:52] (Flashback) Blood
    Harsh!
[22:53] (Flashback) Mary
    So I suppose I'll have to
    teach him the smaller things.
[22:58] (Flashback) Mary
    I'm sure our child will be adorable.
[23:00] (Flashback) Blood
    Yeah.
[23:02] (Flashback) Mary
    What name should we choose?
[23:03] (Flashback) Blood
    I've already got one for a boy.
[23:05] (Flashback) Mary
    I hope it's not some weird name.
[23:07] (Flashback) Blood
    It's a perfectly good name!
[23:09] (Flashback) Blood
    Look, we're talking about our kid.
[23:11] (Flashback) Blood
    You know he's gonna have an unbending will.
[23:15] (Flashback) Blood
    So we'll call him "William,"
    meaning "helmet of will."

    William... That's a fine name.
[23:23] Mary
    I like it, as well.
