[00:12] ---
    Good luck, Anos!
[00:15] ---
    Give it all you've got!
[00:16] ---
    Let's go, Master of Magic Sword!
[00:18] ---
    Teach that guy a lesson!
[00:24] ---
    The final match will be played under special rules.
[00:28] ---
    Your left hands.
[00:32] ---
    If these bracelets get destroyed,
    that will also count as a loss.
[00:36] ---
    I've set it to exacerbate
    Sheila's Spirit disease and extinguish her
[00:41] ---
    the moment the Magic Power being drained
    by that Spirit Drain Ring is depleted.
[00:45] ---
    And should you defeat Lay, his source
    will be wiped out by the contractual Magic Sword.
[00:52] ---
    So, I'm supposed to sit tight
    and let this drain my Magic Power, huh?
[00:56] ---
    And now, the Dilhade Magic Sword
    Tournament finals...
[01:01] ---
    ...is underway!
SIGN    THE FINAL DUEL
[02:43] ---
    I'm impressed.
[02:44] ---
    I can't believe you're fighting
    while your Magic Power's being drained.
[02:48] ---
    By the way, mine is just ornamental.
[02:51] ---
    So, you knew? Don't hold back.
    This isn't hampering me in the least.
[02:57] ---
    The Royalists told me to buy time.
[03:01] ---
    Since the odds get better for me
    the longer this goes on.
[03:04] ---
    But...
[03:11] ---
    Lay!
[03:14] ---
    This isn't the way I want to fight.
[03:17] ---
    What are you doing?
[03:19] ---
    I violated my contract.
    I'm going to die soon.
[03:23] ---
    I can't heal my mother.
[03:25] ---
    There isn't a reason on earth
    why you should go down with me, too.
[03:29] ---
    I've been waiting for you for so long.
[03:31] ---
    And so, this is how I'd do it.
[03:34] ---
    Go all out battling you, and then...
[03:38] ---
    defeat you!
[03:39] ---
    To think that you'd stick
    to your beliefs to the end...
[03:43] ---
    Just what I'd expect of a friend of mine!
[03:46] ---
    Lay, no need to think
    about anything anymore!
[03:50] ---
    This has nothing to do
    with the Royalists or the Unitarians.
[03:53] ---
    You can forget about your mother, too.
    It's only about you and me right now!
[04:04] ---
    I can't even see them! They're too fast!
[04:06] ---
    That sword's holding its own against Initio!
[04:10] ---
    Does that mean
    there really is something inside it?
[04:40] ---
    It's over now, Lay.
[04:43] ---
    This'll be it for me, too.
[05:04] ---
    I had a good time, Anos.
[05:18] ---
    I have waited so many years for this moment.
[05:22] ---
    In other words, the one who planted
    the contractual Magic Sword inside Lay,
[05:26] ---
    and the one who selected me for the Magic Sword
    Tournament... That was all your handiwork, then...
[05:32] ---
    Melheis?
[05:36] ---
    Yes. At long last,
    I can get rid of you for good.
[05:42] ---
    Are you claiming victory just because
    you locked me inside a Dimensional Prison?
[05:46] ---
    The outcome has already been decided.
[05:49] ---
    The Spirit Drain Ring has left you
    with less than half of your Magic Power.
[05:54] ---
    Moreover, the arm sliced off by the Magic Sword
    Initio won't get healed any time soon.
[05:59] ---
    And you can see what kind of state
    Lay Glanzudlii is in.
[06:03] ---
    Not only that, but...
[06:08] ---
    Time for some payback.
[06:10] ---
    No matter what, he's still our founding ancestor,
    Gaios. Don't let your guard down.
[06:14] ---
    You're up against three
    of the Seven Elder Demon Emperors.
[06:18] ---
    Under these circumstances,
    you have no chance.
[06:21] ---
    Under these circumstances?
[06:23] ---
    Are you talking about how you gave
    yourself away in front of us?
[06:30] ---
    Rivide.
[06:35] ---
    We're blindsiding you right back.
[06:37] ---
    Lay Glanzudlii!
[06:39] ---
    Weren't you wiped out, source and all?
[06:42] ---
    Peer closer into the abyss.
[06:46] ---
    The contractual Magic Sword is gone?
[06:49] ---
    Thanks to Anos' last strike.
[06:55] ---
    I saw no signs of you two conspiring!
[06:58] ---
    Right. I trusted in him, that's all.
[07:02] ---
    Even if I went all out against him,
    I knew he'd transcend everything.
[07:07] ---
    Understand now? The fact
    that your plot counted for nothing?
[07:12] ---
    Oh yes, it's crystal clear.
[07:14] ---
    Even so, it doesn't change
    the fact that I still won.
[07:21] ---
    Mom!
[07:22] ---
    Let me propose a trade.
[07:25] ---
    If you swear fealty
    to the Royalists, I'll treat her.
[07:31] ---
    Otherwise—
[07:32] ---
    All right, go ahead and kill her.
[07:35] ---
    Did you not hear me right?
[07:37] ---
    I'm saying if you want to kill her, kill her.
[07:40] ---
    I prepared myself for this from the start.
[07:42] ---
    But the trade-off is that you'll lose your shield.
[07:45] ---
    You're going to regret this.
[07:54] ---
    One normally sets
    double or triple traps, you know!
[08:01] ---
    That certainly brings back memories.
[08:04] ---
    I have no doubt that it does.
[08:06] ---
    It's the wall that you used
    to divide the world into four
[08:09] ---
    two thousand years ago
    when you sacrificed your life.
[08:12] ---
    It's Beno Ievun!
[08:20] ---
    The wall that rejects and obliterates all, huh?
[08:23] ---
    I integrated and preserved part of that wall
    in this Dimensional Prison, and...
[08:32] ---
    It's also absorbed your Magic Power
    which you supplied to the Spirit Drain Ring.
[08:38] ---
    You won't get anywhere.
    Not in your current state.
[08:42] ---
    Is that right?
[08:45] ---
    Close call! Who knew you still had
    that much Magic Power left?
[08:55] ---
    Normally, a recently reincarnated demon is unable
    to wield even one-tenth of his Magic Power.
[09:01] ---
    I take my hat off to you for having recovered
    your original power already.
[09:05] ---
    Are we playing hide-and-seek now?
[09:09] ---
    An Absolute Space that no one
    but the spellcaster can enter.
[09:13] ---
    As long as I'm in here,
    you can never claim victory.
[09:18] ---
    And there's one more move!
[09:20] ---
    Mom! Mom!
[09:22] ---
    Stay with me! Mom!
[09:25] ---
    Mom!
[09:25] ---
    Beno Ievun.
[09:27] ---
    I can see that magic isn't his strong suit.
[09:30] ---
    What will you do?
[09:36] ---
    To think that you'd unleash an anti-demonic spell
    onto another dimension... I'm impressed!
[09:41] ---
    However, you won't be able to push yourself
    like that for very long.
[09:45] ---
    Lay, can you hear me?
[09:47] ---
    Anos? Did you do this?
[09:50] ---
    Yes, but I've overused
    my Magic Power somewhat.
[09:53] ---
    You think you can do
    something about that?
[09:57] ---
    Can you create a powerful sword
    using the Magic Power for your anti-demonic spell?
[10:01] ---
    If your physical body is exposed, you'll die.
[10:05] ---
    I'll slash it before that happens.
[10:13] ---
    I'm going to pour as much of my Magic Power
    into that sword as I can. Ready?
[10:17] ---
    Whenever you are!
[10:34] ---
    Looks like your number's up, Sir Anos!
[10:37] ---
    You can both perish now!
[10:42] ---
    I'm sorry, Anos. I...
[10:45] ---
    Stand up, Lay!
[10:47] ---
    I don't have the strength
    to slash it anymore!
[10:51] ---
    If it were just you...
[10:53] ---
    Oh yes, you can do it.
[10:55] ---
    Mom!
[10:56] ---
    You can do it. Don't worry.
[10:59] ---
    I'll lend you a hand.
[11:02] ---
    Surely not! A spirit
    trying to regain its true form?
[11:07] ---
    So, you recalled what your true power was
    on the brink of death? But...
[11:11] ---
    A half-spirit half-demon with an unstable source
    will surely be eliminated from this world.
[11:18] ---
    Don't do it, Mom!
[11:20] ---
    It's all right.
[11:21] ---
    No one is more dear to me than you.
[11:25] ---
    You can stand up, can't you, Lay?
[11:28] ---
    After all, you're the son I'm so proud of.
[11:32] ---
    Mom...
[11:40] ---
    Here goes, Mom.
[11:45] ---
    Hey, do you remember?
[11:47] ---
    Remember what?
[11:48] ---
    When you were a child...
[11:50] ---
    and I was teaching you how to cook.
[11:52] ---
    All of a sudden, you said
    you wanted to slice a pot with your knife.
[11:59] ---
    I remember something like that.
[12:03] ---
    And I told you that you'd never
    be able to do it, right?
[12:07] ---
    But you just kept trying over and over...
[12:10] ---
    until...
[12:22] ---
    Hey, will you show your mother
    what the grown-up Lay can slice now?
[12:30] ---
    Sure. I'll show you.
[12:53] ---
    To think that he'd slash
    through even this space...
[12:55] ---
    Is this the power
    of the Spirit Sword?
[13:05] ---
    You've grown up to make me proud.
[13:07] ---
    I love you, Lay.
[13:19] ---
    Mom...
[13:22] ---
    It's too soon to cry, Lay.
[13:26] ---
    Save those tears for later.
[13:28] ---
    If you want to do right by your mother,
    I'll create an opportunity for you now.
[13:36] ---
    Not what I was expecting you to say.
[13:42] ---
    Even if you were to erase Beno Ievun,
    I still have more than enough reserves.
[13:47] ---
    In other words, you're only going to die in vain.
[13:50] ---
    Oh? But thanks to this futility you speak of...
[13:57] ---
    How did you enter this Absolute Space?
[14:00] ---
    There's no sign that you marked me!
[14:03] ---
    Is Magic Power all that you can see?
[14:06] ---
    You should know by now
    how that Spirit Sword works.
[14:10] ---
    Impossible.
[14:11] ---
    Now then, as long as you're in here,
[14:14] ---
    I can never claim victory.
    Is that what you said?
[14:17] ---
    If you think you've won just because you've
    set foot on the same stage, you're sadly mistaken!
[14:24] ---
    This is Beno Ievun's silo.
[14:26] ---
    You can't thwart this consummate Demon Lord's
    magic with your dwindling Magic Power!
[14:31] ---
    Time to bid you farewell, Demon King Anos!
[14:43] ---
    H-How?
[14:52] ---
    How can you still be alive? How?
[14:58] ---
    Come on, Venuzdnor.
[15:02] ---
    You said it yourself, right?
[15:04] ---
    After being reincarnated,
    one can only use one-tenth of his Magic Power.
[15:08] ---
    The same goes for me.
[15:12] ---
    What the...
[15:13] ---
    But thanks to the Spirit Drain Ring...
[15:15] ---
    and to Beno Ievun, my Destruction Source
    was given a rude awakening.
[15:19] ---
    Y-You mean with all your power,
[15:21] ---
    you still hadn't regained the Magic Power
    you had before you were reincarnated?
[15:25] ---
    I'm grateful to you, Melheis.
[15:28] ---
    Not so fast!
[15:32] ---
    It's no use!
[15:38] ---
    For now, I shall retreat. Next time—
[15:43] ---
    But I'm sure I dodged that!
[15:44] ---
    Did you really think
    you could avoid it just by dodging?
[15:48] ---
    The Magic Sword of Destruction
    annihilates all laws.
[15:50] ---
    H-How is that possible?
[15:57] ---
    What the...
[16:00] ---
    Why?
[16:01] ---
    Why?
[16:02] ---
    Why?
[16:04] ---
    Why?
[16:05] ---
    Why?
[16:07] ---
    Why? Why? Why? Why?
[16:10] ---
    Why?
[16:12] ---
    Didn't I tell you? It's no use.
[16:19] ---
    I see.
[16:22] ---
    Come back to your senses, Melheis.
[16:27] ---
    Sir Anos...
[16:34] ---
    Is that the Sword of Subordination?
[16:36] ---
    What an onerous object
    they've embedded in you.
[16:38] ---
    Please forgive me.
    I was taken by surprise.
[16:42] ---
    What happened?
[16:43] ---
    The other night, after I'd met with you,
    I was assaulted by an unknown entity,
[16:49] ---
    and they've been manipulating me
    ever since, it seems.
[16:52] ---
    Is that right?
[16:53] ---
    Summon Gaios and Ydol here.
[16:55] ---
    Understood.
[16:58] ---
    The sources of the Seven Elder
    Demon Emperors other than you...
[17:01] ---
    have been fused and taken over.
[17:04] ---
    These two sources are most likely
    working for Avos Dilhevia.
[17:09] ---
    Then, if you resurrect them...
[17:11] ---
    Yes.
[17:14] ---
    Come back to life, you fools
    who dare to rebel against me!
[17:24] ---
    I-Impossible! No one can force
    themselves in here from outside!
[17:28] ---
    Are you Avos Dilhevia?
[17:35] ---
    Shall I go after him?
[17:36] ---
    Won't do any good.
[17:38] ---
    You revive Gaios and Ydol.
[17:40] ---
    As you wish.
[17:48] ---
    What the heck is going on?
[17:50] ---
    I have no idea.
[17:52] ---
    We can't see the stage at all
    because of that spell,
[17:54] ---
    and we can't hear
    Sir Anos' voice, either.
[17:57] ---
    - Hey, wait!
    - I can see a shadow!
[18:03] ---
    Confirming that Lay Glanzudlii's
    Magic Sword has been destroyed!
[18:07] ---
    The winner is...
[18:09] ---
    Anos Voldigoad!
[18:13] ---
    He did it! Oh, darling!
    Our little Anos won!
[18:17] ---
    Yeah! Yeah!
[18:19] ---
    That's my son!
[18:22] ---
    Sir Anos!
[18:23] ---
    How does it feel to win?
[18:24] ---
    Can you please tell us?
[18:27] ---
    I was able to win...
[18:30] ---
    because of this sword!
[18:35] ---
    Anos?
[18:36] ---
    Within this sword that my dad forged
    with all the love in his heart...
[18:39] ---
    resides just as much power as any Magic Sword!
[18:42] ---
    Something other than Magic Power...
[18:44] ---
    His soul resides within it!
[18:46] ---
    My dad is a true craftsman!
[18:49] ---
    Thanks, Dad!
[18:51] ---
    I-I don't know
    what that kid's going on about!
[18:55] ---
    He did it all himself!
[18:57] ---
    Because he gave it his all!
[19:04] ---
    I'll take over.
[19:11] ---
    Is it over?
[19:13] ---
    Yeah.
[19:15] ---
    I see.
[19:18] ---
    No need to be sad.
[19:20] ---
    Your mother is fine.
[19:23] ---
    Ingall.
[19:33] ---
    Mom!
[19:34] ---
    Ms. Sheila!
[19:36] ---
    Thank goodness! I thought
    I was never going to see you again!
[19:39] ---
    So, it's not a dream, then?
[19:42] ---
    But how did this happen?
[19:44] ---
    I spread the rumors and traditions
    that made up the origin of your source.
[19:50] ---
    Your true form was a sword.
[19:53] ---
    Why did Sheila recover
    on Day 1 of the tournament?
[19:56] ---
    Because what I said before the audience
    just happened to be the same as her tradition.
[20:03] ---
    There's something other than Magic Power
    residing in a sword forged by a true craftsman.
[20:07] ---
    And in accordance with that tradition,
[20:09] ---
    when Sheila's Spirit Sword
    wounded Melheis...
[20:12] ---
    it left a mark other than Magic Power.
[20:16] ---
    That speech I just made was transmitted
    all over Dilhade via the magic broadcast.
[20:20] ---
    Now that the tradition's been handed down
    far and wide,
[20:22] ---
    Sheila's source healed,
    and it was easy to revive her.
[20:26] ---
    Thank you.
[20:28] ---
    Because of you, I can keep watching
    this boy grow up for a long time.
[20:38] ---
    We will now present the winner, Anos,
    with a commemorative gift.
[20:48] ---
    Congratulations, Anos.
[20:51] ---
    Right, Misha mentioned this.
[20:53] ---
    That you were tasked with a role
    in the Magic Sword Tournament.
[20:56] ---
    Perhaps you've forgotten,
[20:58] ---
    but the Necron Family is illustrious enough
    to be granted the role of commending the winners.
[21:03] ---
    Go on. Don't mind me.
    Just take it, will you?
[21:06] ---
    That doesn't sound like someone
    who's here to commend me.
[21:10] ---
    All right, I'll play the part
    like I'm supposed to.
[21:17] ---
    Anos Voldigoad, I congratulate your sword.
[21:22] ---
    Oh my!
[21:28] ---
    I-I'll have you know,
    it's customary to do that!
[21:31] ---
    I didn't do it because I wanted to!
[21:33] ---
    You don't have to go out of your way
    to tell me. That much I know.
[21:38] ---
    I agreed to this
    because I thought you'd win.
[21:41] ---
    I have no intention of praising
    any Demon King but you.
[21:45] ---
    You're on the right track there.
[21:54] ---
    Did you have a good time?
[21:57] ---
    You could say that.
[22:01] ---
    It was quite an entertaining tournament.
