**[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.*
