[00:02] Dantalion
    Die!
[00:04] Noel
    Your orders: strike it dead, Alma!
[00:07] Alma
    On it.
[00:09] Alma
    Accel: Duodecuple!
[00:23] Alma
    Assassin Skill: Phantom.
[00:26] Noel
    A new skill that Alma gained by ranking up.
[00:29] Noel
    Once every 24 hours, she can
    become intangible for three seconds,
[00:33] Noel
    thus nullifying all physical attacks.
[00:36] Alma
    Quick Attack!
[00:49] Noel
    Battle complete.
[00:53] Koga
    Heck yeah!
[00:55] Koga
    Now I can rank up to B, too!
    No callin' me dead weight anymore!
[00:59] Koga
    See? Lookee here!
[01:01] Alma
    Buzz off.
[01:04] Keim
    Noel, you...
[01:07] Keim
    Were you planning on this all along?
[01:09] Noel
    Yeah, I foresaw this outcome
    and laid the groundwork for it.
[01:15] Noel
    I arranged for the guild to set this test up.
[01:19] Noel
    The dantalion was our chosen target
    because my skills are effective against it.
[01:25] Noel
    Even those fake letters were my doing.
[01:27] Keim
    Damn you!
[01:30] Noel
    But not everything was.
[01:32] Noel
    You guys were responsible
    for the way things turned out.
[01:36] Noel
    You've wanted to be free for ages, haven't you?
[01:41] Noel
    You guys are strong.
    But Leon's a different breed.
[01:46] Noel
    Even your name, the Winged Knights,
    is all about him.
[01:51] Noel
    You're just his sidekicks.
    Easily replaceable.
[01:56] Noel
    Jealousy is a troublesome emotion.
[01:59] Noel
    It builds deep down in your heart
    and eventually rots it from the inside.
[02:05] Noel
    Your party was always doomed.
    All I did was give you one last push.
[02:14] Noel
    Even the tightest bonds and friendships
    can break because of a single crack.
[02:23] Noel
    You think your party turned on you?
[02:27] Noel
    Wrong. It was you who betrayed them, Leon.
[02:31] Noel
    You brought this on by not
    trusting them when it counted.
[02:38] Harold
    Good work, everyone.
[02:41] Harold
    I observed the battle from start to finish.
[02:46] Harold
    The winner is Blue Beyond.
[02:49] Harold
    Your party's clan application is approved.
[02:52] Harold
    And as per the terms of this test,
    the losing party, the Winged Knights,
[02:57] Harold
    will immediately disband as pledged!
SIGN    Extra, extra!
[04:44] Wolf
    Yikes, is this for real?
[04:47] Wolf
    The Winged Knights...
[04:49] Wolf
    I kinda looked up to them.
[04:52] Logan
    I was curious why Noel hadn't been
    at the pub lately, and look at him now.
[04:58] Lady1
    What's the matter, Zeke?
[05:00] Lady2
    Let's go have lunch already.
[05:03] Zeke
    How amusing.
[05:09] Ophelia
    We worked so hard for so long,
    and I thought we were tough.
[05:15] Ophelia
    But I wasn't strong in the slightest.
[05:19] Ophelia
    I'm just tired of it all...
[05:23] Lycia
    Ophelia!
[05:25] Ophelia
    Cherish your friends.
[05:35] Veronica
    Considering the fact that you're here,
[05:38] Veronica
    may I take that to mean
    you're accepting my offer?
[05:44] Vaclav
    Veronica Redbone, leader of Red Lotus...
[05:47] Vaclav
    Yes, I'd like to join you.
[05:52] Hugo
    What an awful thing to do.
[05:54] Hugo
    The Winged Knights were a party
    with morals, which is rare in this business.
[05:59] Noel
    They were a ticking time bomb.
[06:03] Noel
    I just made them aware of it.
[06:05] Hugo
    What did you offer them to turn their heads?
[06:09] Noel
    That I'd set them free.
[06:12] Hugo
    Same as me, then?
[06:14] Hugo
    I don't think he'll join you
    after what you just pulled, though.
[06:18] Noel
    He will, make no mistake.
[06:21] Noel
    I always get what I want.
[06:25] Noel
    And I'll get you out of here
    and into my squad, too.
[06:29] Hugo
    You're wasting your time.
[06:31] Noel
    Unfortunately for you,
    I'm as persistent as a snake.
[06:38] Hugo
    A snake, eh?
[06:42] Keim
    Another round.
[06:43] Bartender
    You should go. You've had too much to drink.
[06:47] Bartender
    Keim, you're still young.
[06:50] Bartender
    There are plenty of paths you can take.
[06:53] Keim
    Nah, there aren't.
[06:55] Keim
    The feeling of stabbing Leon
    still lingers in my hand.
[07:03] Keim
    He was just trying to protect me. Our party.
[07:08] Keim
    He made the right call
     under the circumstances.
[07:12] Keim
    And yet, I...
[07:15] Keim
    I was the real traitor!
[07:19] Bartender
    Look, you did something you can't take back,
[07:23] Bartender
    but drinking yourself to death
    isn't gonna solve anything.
[07:29] Bartender
    You have better things to do.
[07:33] Keim
    Like what?
[07:36] Bartender
    Like setting Leon free.
[07:39] Keim
    He's already free.
[07:42] Keim
    The Winged Knights are done.
[07:45] Bartender
    That's not what I mean.
    He must be hurting just as much as you.
[07:50] Bartender
    He probably hates himself for not trusting you.
[07:54] Bartender
    He must be struggling,
[07:56] Bartender
    trapped in his own thoughts.
[07:59] Bartender
    So you've got to set him free.
[08:02] Bartender
    Make sure he can spread the wings
     that heaven gave him
[08:07] Bartender
    by cutting him free of the shackles
    that bind him to the ground.
[08:11] Bartender
    You're the only one who can do that, Keim.
[08:15] Bartender
    He's your sworn brother, isn't he?
[08:22] Edgar
    Congrats on your party disbanding!
[08:26] Edgar
    How I've waited to get you alone like this!
[08:30] Leon
    You're Edgar of War Eagle. Why...?
[08:34] Edgar
    "Why"? That's exactly what
    I hate about you, you pretender!
[08:41] Edgar
    "We don't murder people"?
    Talk about a high horse!
[08:47] Edgar
    Do you have any idea how much we've been
    ridiculed while you get showered with praise?
[08:53] Edgar
    Of course Mr. Squeaky-Clean
    Winged Knight has no clue!
[09:00] Edgar
    You've got nothing left! No party! No pride!
[09:04] Edgar
    You should just die here a loser!
[09:13] Noel
    Looks like you're up to some fun, Edgar.
[09:17] Noel
    Let us in on it.
[09:21] Sign
    The Snake Has Wings
[09:26] Edgar
    What are you guys doing here?!
[09:28] Noel
    Just taking a walk, right?
[09:31] Alma
    Walky-walk.
[09:32] Koga
    Aye, a walk.
[09:33] Edgar
    Yeah, right! Quit your bullshit
    and walk your asses outta here!
[09:37] Noel
    Who do you think you're bossing around?
[09:39] Edgar
    Huh?
[09:40] Noel
    Know your place, you lowly scum.
[09:43] Noel
    I don't like your tone.
    I don't like it one bit.
[09:48] Edgar
    Me, lowly scum?
[09:51] Edgar
    Don't think you're getting away with that!
[09:54] Edgar
    Get 'em, guys!
[09:56] Underling1
    A-Are you kidding?
[09:58] Underling2
    They beat the Winged Knights, y'know?
[10:04] Edgar
    Hey, get back here!
[10:05] Noel
    My, my. Not very respected, are you,
[10:08] Noel
    Edgar?
[10:16] Noel
    Look at me.
[10:19] Noel
    I said look at me!
[10:22] Noel
    Remember this! Never give me attitude again!
[10:27] Noel
    If you do, I'll make sure all your friends
    and family end up looking like you!
[10:35] Edgar
    Y-Y-You got it!
[10:38] Noel
    Now go. There won't be a next time.
[10:46] Noel
    Okay, Leon, let's talk business.
[10:51] Leon
    Are you joking?!
[10:53] Noel
    I'm not.
[10:55] Noel
    If you join us,
     I'll make you our clan's submaster.
[10:59] Noel
    Not a bad deal, right?
[11:01] Leon
    Who would ever join you?!
[11:03] Leon
    If it weren't for you guys... No, you, Noel.
[11:07] Leon
    If it weren't for you...
[11:09] Noel
    The Winged Knights could've won?
    Do you really believe that?
[11:14] Noel
    Leon, the only reason you got to be the noble
    and just leader of the Winged Knights
[11:20] Noel
    is because of your party's
    hard work and sacrifice.
[11:25] Noel
    But you're a prodigy. They'd never be your
     equals, no matter how hard they worked.
[11:32] Noel
    As they pushed themselves harder,
    it sowed doubt in their minds.
[11:36] Noel
    A party like that'll never last.
[11:40] Leon
    I get it. We had no future
    regardless of what you did.
[11:48] Leon
    But if I admit it,
    then all our work was for nothing.
[11:57] Leon
    I couldn't take that!
[12:00] Noel
    Are you going to stop fighting?
[12:03] Leon
    What difference does it make?
[12:06] Leon
    I'll never regain what I've lost.
[12:08] Noel
    No, you will.
[12:11] Noel
    Sure, the glory of the Winged Knights
    will soon be a thing of the past.
[12:16] Noel
    In fact, the world is a cruel place.
[12:18] Noel
    Only your tarnished legacy will remain,
    and even that will be forgotten before long.
[12:25] Noel
    But if you, their former leader,
    carve out a legacy for yourself as a Seeker,
[12:30] Noel
    the Winged Knights' name
    will continue to live on.
[12:34] Leon
    If I join you, I really will be a traitor.
[12:39] Noel
    Think of yourself, Leon!
[12:42] Noel
    Cast aside your superficial feelings.
[12:45] Noel
    They won't help you or your friends.
[12:50] Noel
    If you want to preserve what
    matters to you in the history books,
[12:54] Noel
    you have to be prepared
    to cast everything else aside.
[12:58] Leon
    Then why are you a Seeker, Noel?
[13:03] Noel
    I want to show the world
    that I'm the strongest Seeker.
[13:09] Leon
    Can I really trust you?
[13:12] Leon
    If you're lying, I'll make you pay.
[13:17] Noel
    That's a silly question.
[13:26] Marion
    Hey, Gramps, this favorite of yours...
[13:29] Marion
    Don't you think he plays a little too dirty?
[13:31] Marion
    He took out his rivals, the Winged Knights,
    and then snatched up their leader.
[13:38] Harold
    But in doing so, he's strengthened his team.
[13:44] Harold
    And Leon will now be able to show off
    his talents on a grander stage.
[13:48] Marion
    I think your bias is clouding your judgment.
[13:53] Harold
    Whether they make it or not
    from here is up to them.
[13:57] Harold
    And I've given them a new mission
    to better judge for myself.
[14:02] Marion
    Wait, you don't mean...
[14:05] Harold
    A beast with an abyssal depth rating of 9
    has manifested in Quartz Valley.
[14:10] Harold
    It is Garmr, the King of Wolves, known to
    control the dead—and they must take it out.
[14:15] Marion
    S-Seriously?
[14:18] Crowd
    Look.
[14:20] Crowd
    It's Noel and Leon.
[14:21] Crowd
    So the rumors are true.
[14:24] Crowd
    Did Leon abandon his former party?
[14:27] Crowd
    Even the noble Knight looks out for
    number one when it comes down to it.
[14:30] Crowd
    What a letdown.
[14:32] Crowd
    I'm disappointed in him.
[14:35] Koga
    Don't let it get to ya.
[14:38] Noel
    Bad publicity is still publicity.
[14:40] Noel
    Don't worry. Once you
     produce results, they'll flip.
[14:45] Keim
    Noel Stollen!
[14:47] Keim
    You fiend!
[14:49] Keim
    You ruined everything for us!
[14:52] Keim
    I'll kill you!
[14:54] Leon
    Don't, Keim!
[14:56] Leon
    What good will that do?
    You won't get away with it, either!
[15:00] Keim
    Shut up, you traitor!
[15:01] Leon
    Yeah, I'm a traitor.
    So I won't let you kill Noel!
[15:06] Crowd
    They're really gonna fight.
[15:08] Crowd
    The guy with the black hair
    was his friend, right?
[15:11] Keim
    In that case...
[15:13] Keim
    In that case, I'll kill you first!
[15:27] Crowd
    Whoa, he one-shot him!
[15:29] Crowd
    Leon of the Celestial Wings
     really is a cut above.
[15:32] Crowd
    He didn't even draw his sword.
[15:36] Leon
    I won't make excuses.
[15:38] Leon
    I'm going to walk my own path.
[15:43] Keim
    Good luck, Leon.
[15:49] Noel
    Don't look back!
[15:51] Noel
    Don't look back, Leon.
[15:54] Noel
    Leave your brother a shred of dignity.
[15:58] Noel
    We're leaving. That's an order.
[16:01] Leon
    Got it. Let's go, Master.
[16:04] Keim
    That's it.
[16:06] Keim
    Keep going and never look back, Leon.
[16:10] Keim
    Fly as high as you can
    with those wings of yours.
[16:22] Noel
    This will be our clanhouse.
[16:25] Noel
    And all it cost was 20 million fil.
    Good deal, right?
[16:30] All
    Twenty million?!
[16:31] Alma
    No way!
[16:32] Koga
    Yer kiddin'!
[16:34] Leon
    I remember now...
    This used to be an execution site.
[16:39] Noel
    Yep, it's a haunted place that's
    brought bad luck to any and all tenants.
[16:46] Noel
    That's why it came so cheap.
[16:49] Noel
    Relax. I have this now.
[16:52] Noel
    It's a skill guide for Exorcism.
[16:56] Noel
    I can instantly destroy any undead
    that aren't stronger than me.
[17:01] Noel
    Human ghosts will be a piece of cake.
[17:04] Noel
    Okay, and that's the end of that discussion.
[17:09] Noel
    I want to give you all this.
[17:14] Alma
    A snake with wings?
[17:16] Koga
    Why a snake?
[17:19] Noel
    Since ancient times, the snake has been
    a symbol of prosperity and immortality.
[17:23] Noel
    But they're also feared as
    evil beings and deceivers of men.
[17:29] Noel
    I think that contrast fits us perfectly.
[17:33] Noel
    Good and evil, light and dark.
[17:36] Noel
    We'll use all our differing
    attributes to make it to the top.
[17:42] Noel
    Our clan has been approved,
    and this will be our new name.
[17:48] Noel
    We are Wild Tempest.
[18:05] Noel
    I knew it could resummon its kin, but...
[18:08] Noel
    Even using Exorcism, there's no end to them!
[18:13] Koga
    What now, Noel?
[18:14] Alma
    He's avoiding my attacks easily.
[18:17] Leon
    Garmr is an intelligent beast.
    It's waiting for us to wear ourselves out.
[18:21] Leon
    If this keeps up...
[18:23] Noel
    Alma and Koga, support Leon.
[18:25] Noel
    Leon, prepare to fire Seraphim Blade!
[18:28] Leon
    No, Master!
[18:29] Leon
    If I use that...
[18:30] Noel
    Just do it! That's an order!
[18:34] Koga
    Crazy Cherry Blossoms!
[18:37] Alma
    Perfect Throw!
[18:39] Noel
    Exorcism!
[18:43] Noel
    Now! Fire!
[18:44] Leon
    Seraphim Blade!
[19:08] Leon
    Is this it?
[19:11] Koga
    Sorry, Noel.
[19:13] Alma
    I'm done too...
[19:28] Garmr
    That was pretty fun.
[19:32] Noel
    Should be 146 seconds.
[19:34] Garmr
    Humans, be my food.
[19:38] Noel
    Wait!
[19:40] Noel
    I'll admit defeat. But there's only
    so much you can gain by eating me.
[19:47] Noel
    Let's make a deal instead.
[19:49] Garmr
    A deal?
[19:52] Noel
    If you let us go, I'll give you
    some useful information.
[19:55] Noel
    Information that I promise
    will prove pertinent to you.
[19:59] Garmr
    What is that you have there?
[20:02] Noel
    This is a tool that sprays
    the liquid it holds inside as a mist.
[20:08] Garmr
    Hmph. How is that useful?
[20:12] Noel
    Oh, but it is. Aren't you
    feeling the effects yourself?
[20:19] Garmr
    What did you...
[20:22] Noel
    Don't move too much. The poison will circulate.
[20:26] Garmr
    Poison... you say?
[20:28] Alma
    Blood Poison.
[20:30] Alma
    A poison made from my blood.
[20:34] Alma
    It has no taste or smell, and inhaling it
    paralyzes you within minutes.
[20:39] Alma
    It's the ultimate weapon,
    and it works solely on beasts.
[20:44] Garmr
    As if one spray of poison could take me...
[20:49] Noel
    Of course not.
     Which is why we pretended to flee
[20:53] Noel
    and lured you to this place,
    which we filled with poison in advance.
[20:57] Garmr
    It was all an act?
[21:01] Koga
    Not all of it! My bones actually are broken!
[21:04] Koga
    Ow, ow, ow...
[21:05] Alma
    Noel's a demon. He nearly used all of my blood.
[21:09] Leon
    I thought he was crazy when he told us
    we'd need to be near death for this to work.
[21:15] Noel
    Another 42 seconds.
[21:18] Garmr
    Skeleton knights!
[21:21] Noel
    It's futile. You can't summon
    your kin in that state.
[21:26] Noel
    The poison has spread through your body now.
[21:29] Noel
    This is because you used up all
    your mana dealing with our little act.
[21:35] Noel
    This is what you get
    for looking down on a Talker.
[21:39] Garmr
    Such cunning...
[21:43] Garmr
    Such courage!
[21:51] Garmr
    Impressive!
[21:57] Noel
    Exactly 146 seconds.
[22:00] Noel
    Battle complete.
[22:05] Harold
    I confirm defeat of the target
    and purification of the Abyss.
[22:13] Harold
    This will definitely boost your reputation.
[22:18] Noel
    We're not satisfied with this.
[22:20] Noel
    Our goal is much loftier.
[22:24] Harold
    How much loftier?
[22:26] Noel
    The regalia.
[22:28] Noel
    Wild Tempest will become part
    of the regalia within the next six months.
[22:33] Harold
    That's a bold claim.
[22:35] Noel
    I told you before.
[22:36] Noel
    I'm Noel Stollen, grandson of Overdeath,
[22:40] Noel
    and I am the man who will be
    the strongest Seeker ever.
[22:44] Noel
    Remember that.
[22:47] Alma
    Hey, Noel!
[22:49] Leon
    Can we go back to our inn?
[22:52] Koga
    I'm beat. I wanna jump in a hot bath right now.
[22:56] Alma
    Food first. I'm hungry.
[22:59] Koga
    No way! Cleanin' up comes first!
[23:01] Koga
    You call yourself a girl?
[23:03] Alma
    Whoa, that was sexist!
[23:07] Harold
    His mental strength and temperament...
[23:12] Harold
    Reminds me of someone.
[23:16] Noel
    How will a Talker like me, the weakest class
    of all, become the strongest Seeker?
[23:22] Noel
    That's obvious.
[23:25] Noel
    I'll run the world's greatest clan.
[23:30] Noel
    And that'll be that.
