**[00:03] ---**
I was created with a Taboo Magic spell
that changes humans into magic.
**[00:08] ---**
I'm Human Magic, Eleonore.
**[00:11] ---**
I see.
**[00:13] ---**
So, even when Ledriano and the others
got blasted away, it didn't affect De Igelia,
**[00:17] ---**
and it was you alone who took on the task
of healing even their mortal wounds?
**[00:22] ---**
Yes.
**[00:23] ---**
But before we go into that...
**[00:26] ---**
We have to dispel the Gavuel spell
that Diego cast on Jerga Canon, huh?
**[00:30] ---**
I'm fending it off with Rivide,
but if we leave things as they are,
**[00:34] ---**
everyone's source will explode.
**[00:38] ---**
If you let me out of here,
I'll find a way to take care of that.
**[00:41] ---**
Source Magic is a specialty of mine.
**[00:44] ---**
Then, I'm counting on you.
**[01:02] ---**
Thank you.
**[01:16] ---**
Gyze has been disabled, right?
**[01:18] ---**
The barrier's gone, too,
so is it over now?
***SIGN*** TABOO MAGIC
**[03:01] ---**
Everything's fine now.
**[03:06] ---**
And now...
**[03:07] ---**
I'll tell you all about it.
**[03:10] ---**
About...
**[03:12] ---**
our academy.
**[03:16] ---**
Did you clone humans?
**[03:19] ---**
Yes.
**[03:21] ---**
Those are the source clones I created.
**[03:23] ---**
They were all created by force
by the Source Magic Eleonore.
**[03:30] ---**
That's why even if they're killed, source and all,
there's always someone else to replace them.
**[03:34] ---**
That's sheer madness.
**[03:37] ---**
I suppose so.
**[03:38] ---**
But there was a human who implemented it
two thousand years ago.
**[03:42] ---**
Do you know him? The commander
who led the Subjugation Army with Kanon.
**[03:48] ---**
You mean Jerga?
**[03:50] ---**
Commander Jerga had a deep-rooted grudge
against the demon race.
**[03:55] ---**
Even long after the Great War had ended.
**[03:59] ---**
His greatest fear was that the descendants
would forget that grudge toward demons.
**[04:04] ---**
That's why he created the Hero Academy.
**[04:07] ---**
He also twisted around the laws of magic
to transform his source into two magic spells.
**[04:13] ---**
One of them is Asc.
**[04:15] ---**
Kill them.
**[04:18] ---**
The demons. Kill them.
**[04:21] ---**
Kill them!
**[04:24] ---**
Kill them!
**[04:26] ---**
People believe that they can gain
guidance from Kanon by using Asc,
**[04:32] ---**
but in reality,
it's Commander Jerga's thirst for revenge.
**[04:35] ---**
And that thirst for revenge gets implanted
into those under the influence of Asc, huh?
**[04:41] ---**
Yes. That's why Hero Kanon was against it.
**[04:45] ---**
My source still retains
a tiny fragment of that memory.
**[04:50] ---**
*Mr. Jerga, I understand
why you hate demons so.*
**[04:54] ---**
*But we've fought all this time to make sure the
children won't ever have to harbor such feelings!*
**[05:00] ---**
*Kanon...*
**[05:01] ---**
*The Demon King of Tyranny
has sacrificed his life for the sake of peace.*
**[05:05] ---**
*Yet, you would still have us
prepare for war again?*
**[05:12] ---**
*How disappointing.*
**[05:24] ---**
*It will never end.
Not unless we kill the Demon King.*
**[05:31] ---**
In the end, Kanon was betrayed
and murdered by a human he trusted.
**[05:37] ---**
And he never appeared again.
**[05:40] ---**
I guess he must've gotten tired of humans.
**[05:44] ---**
That's why he vanished, never reviving,
never resurrecting himself.
**[05:47] ---**
You just said that Jerga's source
became two magic spells.
**[05:51] ---**
Are you the other one?
**[05:53] ---**
Yes.
**[05:54] ---**
But I was a bust.
**[05:57] ---**
A bust?
**[05:58] ---**
All of his hatred was absorbed by Asc.
**[06:01] ---**
And very little remains
of Commander Jerga's memories.
**[06:05] ---**
My only role is to create
source clones, nothing more.
**[06:10] ---**
Lives robbed of emotion and speech,
that only exist to fight and then disappear...
**[06:16] ---**
As long as this goes on,
no one can ever find happiness. That's why...
**[06:20] ---**
I've always hoped that someone like you
would show up one day.
**[06:27] ---**
May I ask just one favor of you?
**[06:29] ---**
Let's hear it.
**[06:31] ---**
I want you to destroy me.
**[06:34] ---**
You're capable of that, aren't you, Anos?
**[06:36] ---**
Are you sure about this?
**[06:39] ---**
I've been killing all this time, you know.
**[06:42] ---**
My children, for the last
two thousand years... Non-stop...
**[06:46] ---**
If these children could talk, there's no way
that they'd ever forgive me, so it's all right.
**[06:53] ---**
Mama...
**[06:55] ---**
Mama...
**[06:58] ---**
Zeshia?
**[07:09] ---**
Please save her.
**[07:13] ---**
Please save Mama.
**[07:17] ---**
Why?
**[07:19] ---**
Why?
**[07:21] ---**
Mama...
**[07:26] ---**
I...
**[07:32] ---**
You did well to endure this
for two thousand years.
**[07:35] ---**
Anos?
**[07:37] ---**
I'm going to grant your wish.
**[07:40] ---**
If I make them all happy at once,
you'll be satisfied, right?
**[07:45] ---**
Yes. Please.
**[07:47] ---**
I promise you.
**[07:51] ---**
What do you want with Eleonore?
**[07:55] ---**
Is he another source clone?
**[07:58] ---**
Yes. Diego's the ringleader
who spreads Asc.
**[08:01] ---**
As long as I'm around,
he'll be regenerated endlessly.
**[08:13] ---**
S-S-Surely not!
**[08:20] ---**
I-Intruders spotted!
**[08:23] ---**
That's...
**[08:24] ---**
Medoin Garsa!
**[08:26] ---**
Zorro Angato!
**[08:27] ---**
Eldora Zaia!
**[08:29] ---**
It's the Seven Elder Demon Emperors!
We need backup now!
**[08:32] ---**
What are you after, Evansmana?
**[08:38] ---**
It's futile! As if a demon could ever draw
Hero Kanon's Holy Sword!
**[08:44] ---**
Impossible!
**[08:47] ---**
G-Get it back
even if you have to kill them!
**[08:51] ---**
What's the matter? Dammit!
**[08:53] ---**
You useless bastards!
**[09:09] ---**
There can be no excuse for having
the Seven Elder Demon Emperors with you.
**[09:13] ---**
Tell me your name.
**[09:16] ---**
I am Avos Dilhevia.
**[09:19] ---**
The Demon King of Tyranny
who will destroy all.
**[09:23] ---**
What is it that you intend to do
under a false name,
**[09:26] ---**
you fictitious Demon King?
**[09:28] ---**
You fool.
**[09:36] ---**
I am going to change the world
**[09:39] ---**
into the true world of demons,
swallowed up by this deep darkness.
**[09:43] ---**
And now, it begins.
**[09:45] ---**
There's no going back for anyone now.
**[09:56] ---**
History has repeated itself.
**[09:58] ---**
The deep darkness has returned.
**[10:01] ---**
The deep darkness
has assaulted the shrine...
**[10:03] ---**
and stolen Azeshion's guardian deity,
Thunder God Sword Evansmana.
**[10:09] ---**
That's right. The legend
turned out to be true!
**[10:12] ---**
The Demon King of Tyranny has been revived!
After two thousand years!
**[10:17] ---**
The founding ancestor's been revived?
**[10:20] ---**
He will lead the demon race
on an invasion of our nation.
**[10:24] ---**
But do not fear!
**[10:26] ---**
Our Demon Subjugation Army
will deliver the blow of justice!
**[10:30] ---**
Now is the time to fight! Let divine retribution
rain down on those foolish demons!
**[10:35] ---**
Let us Heroes claim victory!
**[10:41] ---**
In the name of the Seven Elder
Demon Emperors, we declare...
**[10:46] ---**
...that our lord has awakened
from his long slumber.
**[10:50] ---**
We will now hear from him
about his second coming.
**[10:55] ---**
I am Avos Dilhevia.
**[10:58] ---**
The day has finally come!
**[10:59] ---**
The Demon King has returned!
**[11:02] ---**
I made a mistake in the past.
**[11:05] ---**
To attain peace,
I divided the world into four realms
**[11:08] ---**
and showed the human race mercy.
**[11:11] ---**
But they haven't changed
over the last two thousand years.
**[11:15] ---**
To this day, they continue to hand down
the myth of a Holy Sword to annihilate me.
**[11:20] ---**
Now is the time to right my mistake
from two thousand years ago.
**[11:24] ---**
The strongest of you,
gather around me now!
**[11:27] ---**
This time, we shall annihilate
those foolish humans!
**[11:33] ---**
Your Majesty!
**[11:35] ---**
Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
**[11:39] ---**
Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
**[11:46] ---**
What does it look like?
**[11:48] ---**
Already, most of the Demon Lords
have gathered around Avos Dilhevia...
**[11:53] ---**
and are advancing toward the border.
**[11:56] ---**
The Demon King Subjugation Army
also seems to be ready to meet their attack.
**[12:00] ---**
This is the battle I left unfinished
two thousand years ago.
**[12:05] ---**
There's no need for you to join the fray.
**[12:07] ---**
How can we look the other way when there's
a scoundrel assuming the name of our lord?
**[12:13] ---**
Please give us our orders.
**[12:17] ---**
You'd better be taking me, too.
**[12:20] ---**
You're the one who told me
to become your subordinate!
**[12:23] ---**
It was you who gave me life, Anos.
**[12:25] ---**
This life will always be with you.
**[12:29] ---**
We're going to fight, too!
**[12:31] ---**
Because we're friends.
**[12:36] ---**
Such fine subordinates...
**[12:38] ---**
Such fine friends
that I've been blessed with...
**[12:42] ---**
We're leaving at daybreak!
**[12:44] ---**
Get some rest!
**[13:02] ---**
Are you worried?
**[13:04] ---**
You have a worried look on your face.
**[13:07] ---**
I just keep imagining the worst.
**[13:10] ---**
Like...
**[13:12] ---**
what if something happens
to everyone... to you, Lay...
**[13:18] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[13:19] ---**
This is nothing.
**[13:21] ---**
Not compared to the Great War
two thousand years ago.
**[13:25] ---**
I think I probably fought in it.
**[13:29] ---**
Could that be why?
**[13:31] ---**
I'm not nervous at all.
**[13:54] ---**
Can I have this?
**[13:56] ---**
Um, but you see...
**[13:58] ---**
I hear this means that's you're proposing.
**[14:00] ---**
I know that.
**[14:02] ---**
Lay...
**[14:04] ---**
I'll be back no matter what.
**[14:07] ---**
I'll come back to you.
**[14:22] ---**
So, do you know what it is
that you need to do?
**[14:25] ---**
Prevent any skirmishes between the Dilhade forces
and the Demon King Subjugation Army.
**[14:29] ---**
And neutralize them both.
**[14:31] ---**
And we'll have to find a way
to remove the grudge from Asc.
**[14:35] ---**
I'm ordering you.
**[14:36] ---**
Don't die...
**[14:37] ---**
and don't kill!
**[14:39] ---**
We can't let anyone lose their life
over a trivial matter like this!
**[14:47] ---**
The Azeshion forces,
the Demon King Subjugation Army,
**[14:49] ---**
has already positioned themselves
to counterattack.
**[14:54] ---**
But the first to strike will be...
**[14:56] ---**
the Dilhade forces.
**[14:59] ---**
There's no telling what Avos Dilhevia will do.
**[15:02] ---**
Forward march!
The stronghold is right there!
**[15:04] ---**
Misha and Sasha...
**[15:05] ---**
Who the hell are they?
**[15:05] ---**
Stop the troops gathering
from the west in their tracks.
**[15:21] ---**
You're not getting by us.
**[15:23] ---**
Let me tell you something!
**[15:25] ---**
That our Demon King...
**[15:26] ---**
- ...has no desire for war!
- ...has no desire for war!
**[15:33] ---**
Fan Union, focus on supporting the rearguard.
**[15:37] ---**
Lay and Misa, you two demolish
the troops in the east.
**[15:45] ---**
Don't let them cross the border!
**[16:08] ---**
Lay...
**[16:10] ---**
I owe you one.
**[16:17] ---**
Reinforcements?
**[16:19] ---**
They look pretty formidable.
**[16:21] ---**
Hide!
**[16:23] ---**
I'll fight, too!
**[16:35] ---**
Melheis, you and your men subdue
the Seven Elder Demon Emperors.
**[16:39] ---**
I'll take out Avos Dilhevia...
**[16:42] ---**
myself.
**[16:44] ---**
I believe you'll find him in there.
**[16:53] ---**
E-Enemy attack!
**[16:54] ---**
The Demon King Subjugation Army?
When did they get here?
**[16:57] ---**
N-No!
**[16:59] ---**
They're not humans!
**[17:00] ---**
S-Sir Melheis and the Seven Elder
Demon Emperors are...
**[17:06] ---**
Tell Avos Dilhevia for me.
**[17:09] ---**
I'm the true Demon King.
**[17:12] ---**
Th-The Seven Elder Demon Emperors would never
take aim at the Demon King of Tyranny!
**[17:16] ---**
Get him!
**[17:19] ---**
If it's beyond your grasp,
let me enlighten you...
**[17:21] ---**
about true power!
**[17:31] ---**
So, they're coming?
**[17:32] ---**
Just leave this to us.
**[17:35] ---**
Please head to his castle, Sir Anos.
**[17:37] ---**
Right.
**[17:46] ---**
Does this mean, "Come in"?
**[17:48] ---**
Sir Anos!
**[17:50] ---**
It's Lay!
**[17:53] ---**
I can't find Lay anywhere!
**[17:56] ---**
Lay's gone?
**[17:58] ---**
Sir Anos...
**[17:59] ---**
I've captured Medoin, Zorro and Eldora,
who were being manipulated by Avos.
**[18:05] ---**
They should be fused
with the source of Avos' subordinate.
**[18:12] ---**
But it looks like the source
has abandoned its hosts and fled.
**[18:16] ---**
Would you like to deal
with Avos Dilhevia later?
**[18:20] ---**
No.
**[18:21] ---**
He's not here.
**[18:43] ---**
I knew you'd come here.
**[19:24] ---**
It's been two thousand years, huh...
**[19:26] ---**
Hero Kanon?
**[19:30] ---**
No, I stand corrected.
**[19:33] ---**
You came here earlier
to fulfill your promise, didn't you?
**[21:30] ---**
How did you figure it out?
**[21:33] ---**
I thought I made you think I was dead.
**[21:35] ---**
It was this.
**[21:37] ---**
Surely, you'd have lost
all of your memories of your past life...
**[21:40] ---**
yet you looked at this necklace and said,
"I'll take these single-shell ones."
**[21:45] ---**
Unless you knew about the Azeshion myth
about these necklaces,
**[21:49] ---**
you wouldn't have called this a "single-shell."
**[21:52] ---**
Meaning that you did remember your past.
**[21:56] ---**
And for some reason,
you were concealing that fact.
**[22:00] ---**
Shin would never lie to me.
**[22:03] ---**
So, who are you?
**[22:05] ---**
I know of no demon able to wield
both a Unique Sword and a Holy Sword.
**[22:09] ---**
But if that great Hero
had resurrected himself as a demon,
**[22:14] ---**
then it would make sense
that he could wield both.
**[22:17] ---**
I see.
**[22:21] ---**
Not that I had any proof.
**[22:24] ---**
Even if you are Kanon, there's no reason
for you not to reveal yourself.
**[22:28] ---**
Normally, that is.
**[22:30] ---**
Perhaps you were afraid
of being asked this question?
**[22:34] ---**
"You only have one source left.
What did you do with the other six?"
**[22:39] ---**
Avos Dilhevia had fused the sources
of every Demon Emperor but Melheis.
**[22:45] ---**
Along with yours,
that would make seven in all.
**[22:48] ---**
Just like Hero Kanon.
**[22:51] ---**
Most likely, you didn't want me to find out
that you'd been playing the role
**[22:55] ---**
of the fake Demon King, Avos Dilhevia.
**[22:58] ---**
Even so, there were
numerous unforeseen circumstances.
**[23:02] ---**
Misha being born through Dino Jixes...
**[23:04] ---**
What happened
at the Magic Sword Tournament...
**[23:06] ---**
Those weren't part of your plans.
**[23:09] ---**
I don't know your back story...
**[23:11] ---**
but even those tears you shed
trying to save your mother seemed genuine to me.
**[23:15] ---**
Right.
**[23:17] ---**
So, you must be trying to save something now,
too, as you play the fake Demon King.
**[23:24] ---**
Kanon, what happened
two thousand years ago?
**[23:27] ---**
It was just like you said.
**[23:30] ---**
The humans were weak, Anos.
