[00:15] RUD/ID     Who is this strangely imposing little girl? [00:19] MARIUS     Rud, this is bad. [00:25] AMON     Hm, were more dark skeletons     supposed to spawn here? [00:31] RUD/ID     "Supposed to"? We can't handle     four at once right now. [00:37] RUD     A single attack... [00:43] MARIUS     I wasn't expecting a demon king. [00:46] RUD     A demon king? [00:48] AMON     I thought I'd removed those     dark skeleton spawn points. [00:54] RUD/ID     Is this girl the labyrinth's guardian? [00:58] AMON     Submit to my Evil Eye!

[02:42] AMON     You aren't afflicted with status effects     after being struck by that attack? [02:48] AMON     Divine Skills are quite a nuisance. [02:50] RUD     Are you the guardian of the labyrinth? [02:52] AMON     Indeed I am. Are you not     the slightest bit afraid of me? [02:58] RUD     Well, you do look like     an adorable little girl. [03:03] AMON     "Adorable," huh?     I appreciate the compliment. [03:06] MARIUS     Don't be fooled, Rud.     This hag's over 300 years old. [03:10] SIGN     SNAP [03:10] SIGN     SNAP [03:10] SIGN     SNAP [03:10] SIGN     SNAP [03:10] SIGN     SNAP [03:11] AMON     Keep your mouth shut, Marius! [03:14] AMON     You failure of a demon king! [03:17] RUD     Marius is my friend. [03:19] RUD     Could you please not attack him? [03:22] AMON     I see. So the failure has     allied himself with humans, huh? [03:28] MARIUS     Not really. I just hate demon kings. [03:34] AMON     Ah, I see, I see. [03:37] AMON     But you should stay out of my way,      Demon King Marius. [03:41] AMON     You know you don't     stand a chance against us. [03:46] RUD     Maybe Marius can't beat you alone, [03:50] RUD     but you're facing more     than just him right now. [03:55] AMON     What's your point? [03:57] AMON     Your individual strength still     doesn't compare to a demon king's. [04:02] RUD     Individual humans     aren't particularly strong. [04:06] RUD     We can't raid dungeons alone. [04:08] RUD     That's why we form parties. [04:11] AMON     Raiding dungeons, huh? [04:13] AMON     Let's see if you can do that when faced with     Amon Sloth, the Keild Labyrinth's guardian, [04:23] AMON     foolish humans! [04:26] LUNA     Her mana is tremendous. [04:28] RUD     We have no choice but to fight. [04:31] RUD     Shield of Sacrifice! [04:34] RUD     Provoke! [04:40] RUD     What power. [04:47] LILY     You'll pay for hurting my sister. [04:50] NIN     She used a whirlwind      to deflect their attacks. [04:52] RUD     Even if I use Provoke, she doesn't     focus all of her attention on me. [04:57] AMON     I see. You're not bad, but you won't     be able to reach me with those attacks. [05:02] RUD     Then, we'll keep attacking until we do! [05:04] AMON     I can easily evade     such attacks with wind magic— [05:07] NIN     Quit floating around up there! [05:10] AMON     Ow! [05:12] AMON     You're a noisy woman. [05:19] LILIA     She's ridiculously strong. [05:21] MARIUS     How are we going to beat her? [05:24] RUD     It's all right. We can keep up. [05:26] AMON     Is that all you've got? [05:28] RUD     Provoke! [05:30] AMON     What's wrong? [05:32] AMON     You can't touch me with     such haphazard attacks. [05:36] RUD     They're not haphazard. [05:39] RUD     Flashing magic stone! [05:42] AMON     What is this? It's so bright. [05:49] MARIUS     How was that? [05:54] RUD     What is this? [05:56] RUD     Is the mana flowing out of her      whipping up a storm? [05:59] AMON     I've ever so slightly underestimated you. [06:02] AMON     I apologize. [06:08] RUD     Nin, heal us. [06:10] NIN     Got it. [06:11] NIN     Come over here, everyone.     I'll cast support magic on you all. [06:14] NIN     She's far stronger than     any monster we've faced so far. [06:19] RUD     Yeah. [06:21] LILIA     But if we work together,     we can defeat her. [06:25] LUNA     I'll fight for my master and Ms. Manicia. [06:28] LILY     Me, too. [06:30] NIN     Naturally, so will I. [06:31] MARIUS     Me, too. This is a unique opportunity     to defeat a demon king. [06:37] RUD     Okay. We'll attack once the storm dies down. [06:48] NIN     A w-wolf? [06:49] RUD     It looks like a fenrir. [06:57] RUD     Marius, can you transform     into a monster and fight, too? [06:59] MARIUS     Sure. If you don't mind me     attacking friend and foe alike. [07:02] RUD     In that case, I prefer you      in your current form. [07:08] RUD/ID     This will allow me to reduce the number     of attacks aimed at our attackers. [07:17] RUD/ID     The question is, how long can I last     against this massive monster? [07:25] MARIUS     We've barely scratched it. [07:27] LILIA     Its fur is as tough as armor. [07:30] RUD     Eyes on me! [07:33] RUD/ID     I'm screwed if it sinks those fangs into me. [07:36] RUD/ID     But its attack pattern lacks variety. [07:39] RUD/ID     The repeated hits are     eating away my absorb shield. [07:41] LILY     Long-range spells incoming! [07:49] LILY     They don't seem very effective. [07:51] RUD     We're prepared for a long fight      against the guardian. [07:57] RUD/ID     Its attacks have gotten even stronger? [08:00] RUD/ID     Damn. I could really use a breather. [08:05] MARIUS     Sorry, Rud. [08:06] MARIUS     It took some time to     build up power for an attack. [08:09] RUD     No problem. That was great. [08:11] RUD/ID     He cut through its armor-like fur. [08:13] RUD/ID     Nice work, Marius. [08:20] NIN     Its roar is deafening. [08:22] NIN     Rud, I'm going to cast a status effect     nullifying spell on you three, just in case. [08:27] NIN     I can't heal you while     it's active, so be careful. [08:30] RUD     Got it. [08:35] MARIUS     Rud, are you okay? [08:37] RUD     Yeah. My absorb shield is holding. [08:40] RUD/ID     As long as I remain standing,     my party mates can't lose. [08:44] RUD/ID     I need to hang on. [08:53] RUD/ID     We'll overcome the enemy! [09:09] RUD     Provoke! [09:12] RUD/ID     It's tough, but its movements have slowed. [09:18] RUD     What's that? [09:20] NIN     What is that green wind? [09:22] MARIUS     Don't know, don't care. [09:24] MARIUS     I'll cut it all! [09:28] RUD     Marius! [09:29] NIN     Judging by that attack, it looks like it's     a barrier that cuts anyone who gets close. [09:36] RUD     That stone on its forehead... [09:38] RUD     It wasn't glimmering like that     until it activated the barrier. [09:41] RUD     If we can destroy that,     we may be able to defeat it. [09:44] MARIUS     But that wind is keeping us at bay. [09:47] LILY     Nin, cast a dispelling spell. [09:49] LILY     We'll follow up by attacking all at once. [09:52] NIN     Got it. [09:53] NIN     Power of darkness from     which holy light originates... [09:57] RUD     Let's buy her time. [10:04] NIN     Quell the white waves     amidst invisible luster... [10:07] RUD/ID     The rushing wind is     making it difficult to breathe. [10:12] RUD/ID     Even just standing here,     the wind's constantly slashing at me. [10:16] RUD/ID     It's unbearable. [10:17] NIN     Disappear into silence     with brilliant benevolence. [10:19] RUD/ID     But I must endure it. [10:21] RUD/ID     If I focus on defending and     keep weathering its attacks… [10:26] RUD     It won't let us get close. [10:28] NIN     Become powerless! [10:31] NIN     Cease your meaningless struggling! [10:36] NIN     I've dispelled the wind wall.     Now's our chance to destroy it! [10:40] MARIUS     Got it. [10:43] LUNA     You won't get away! [10:47] RUD/ID     It blocked our attacks against its magic     stone, but that left its chest open. [10:53] MARIUS     Go, Rud! [10:55] RUD/ID     It's dealt nearly 30,000 damage     to my absorb shield so far. [10:59] RUD     Take this! [11:01] RUD     Life Conversion! [11:06] RUD     What's that? [11:09] RUD     That's not its armor. [11:12] RUD     It's an offensive wind spell! [11:14] RUD     Get back, everyone! [11:18] RUD/ID     Crap. [11:21] NIN     His absorb shield... [11:25] NIN     Rud! [11:29] RUD/ID     Endure it. Endure it, endure it! [11:34] RUD/ID     If I lose my absorb shield     and suffer a serious injury now... [11:39] RUD/ID     I'll die. [11:46] NIN     Rud! Rud! [11:51] RUD     It stopped. [11:53] NIN     Rud, are you okay? [11:55] RUD     Yeah, barely. [11:57] LILY     Sister! [12:00] RUD     Marius! [12:00] NIN     Lilia! [12:02] RUD     Hang in there, you two. [12:05] MARIUS     Rud? [12:07] RUD     Good. They're both alive. [12:16] RUD     Luna and Nin, heal them. If it launches     another attack now, they're dead. [12:22] NIN     But your absorb shield has been     shattered! It's too dangerous! [12:25] RUD     I can still use my skills without an     absorb shield. I can keep fighting. [12:28] RUD     Besides, I'm the only one who can stop it. [12:31] NIN     Fine. Luna, Lily. [12:35] RUD/ID     I'm the one who selfishly insisted     we come here, anyway. [12:39] RUD/ID     I made them come with me. [12:41] RUD/ID     I have to fix this. [12:48] RUD/ID     Now that my absorb shield's gone,     it hurts so much. It's going to crush me. [12:54] RUD/ID     A-A wind spell? [12:57] RUD/ID     It's not casting? [13:01] RUD/ID     No, it can't. [13:05] RUD/ID     It's in bad shape. [13:07] RUD/ID     So we almost had it. [13:10] RUD     I hate to say it, but we have to retreat. [13:13] LILY     We can keep fighting. [13:15] LILY     Nin and Luna, prepare to cast spells. [13:19] LILY     I'm going to switch to     fighting as an attacker. [13:23] NIN     Lily, what are you saying? [13:25] LILY     I'll use my Fusion skill     to take my sister's place. [13:29] LILY     Given how weak it is,     we must be close to beating it. [13:31] RUD     But— [13:32] LILY     Rud, didn't you say     you'd listen to my requests? [13:36] LILY     I can keep fighting! [13:39] RUD     You're one crazy girl. [13:42] RUD     All right. I'll keep tanking. [13:44] LUNA     I'll keep fighting, too. [13:46] NIN     Hit it with everything you've got. [13:49] LILY     Right. [13:52] RUD/ID     I didn't think losing my absorb shield     would make me this weak. [13:57] RUD/ID     But I need to buy time. [14:04] NIN     Rud! [14:05] RUD     Sorry, Nin. Lily, are you ready? [14:10] LILIALY     Here I come. [14:16] LILIALY     More. [14:24] LILIALY     Rud! [14:26] RUD/ID     She's about as quick as     when Lilia takes the lead, [14:30] RUD/ID     but unlike Lilia, her movements     are too flat and predictable. [14:34] LILIALY     I'm sorry. I don't know how      to use this body yet. [14:39] RUD     Then, fight like you always do. [14:43] RUD     Lilia's unconscious right now. You don't     need to give her any consideration. [14:48] RUD     Fight your way, Lily. [14:51] LILIALY     My way? [14:53] RUD     I'll buy time until you get used to it,      so take your time preparing. [14:59] LILIALY     Got it. [15:01] RUD/ID     The truth is, we don't have that much time. [15:07] RUD/ID     But my friend is fighting     her hardest so she can change. [15:10] RUD/ID     So as her friend,     I should match her energy. [15:16] LILIALY     Rud! [15:17] RUD/ID     Damn. In my current state,     it's tough for me to buy time as a tank. [15:22] RUD/ID     I feel like I might black out any second. [15:26] RUD/ID     No, I'm just making excuses. [15:29] RUD/ID     No matter the circumstances,     I must protect my friends. [15:35] RUD/ID     Marius used his mana     like an absorb shield. [15:38] RUD/ID     If I can do that,     I may be able to keep fighting. [15:42] NIN     Rud, it's heading your way! [15:47] RUD/ID     That was sloppy, but it worked. [15:49] RUD/ID     Still, that wasn't enough. [15:53] RUD/ID     I need to utilize all the mana in my body. [15:59] RUD/ID     My body's moving like it does     when I have an absorb shield. [16:02] RUD/ID     The pain in my arm is lessening, too. [16:05] RUD/ID     So that's how it works. [16:08] RUD/ID     Its attacks have quickened. Is it in a hurry? [16:12] RUD/ID     I'll unleash even more mana than before. [16:16] RUD/ID     I can move exactly as I do     when I have an absorb shield. [16:21] RUD     Time to counterattack. [16:24] RUD     Lily, now! [16:26] LILIALY     This isn't my sister's style. [16:28] LILIALY     This is how I fight! [16:34] RUD     What power. [16:37] RUD     She imbued her sword      with multiple elements. [16:42] LILIALY     This is the end. [16:45] RUD     She's going to hit it with     all four elements at once? [17:08] RUD     Lily, are you okay? [17:10] LILIALY     Yes. Thank you, Rud. [17:14] RUD     I should be thanking you.     Because of you, we won. [17:18] LILIALY     It wasn't just me. [17:27] RUD     Rest for now. [17:29] RUD     Amon, do you still intend to fight? [17:33] AMON     I can't move a muscle. [17:35] AMON     That was impressive.     I didn't think you could beat me. [17:40] RUD     I'm searching for magic stones     that grant wishes. Sound familiar? [17:46] AMON     There. Take it. [17:47] RUD     Whoops. [17:50] RUD     Thanks. [17:51] AMON     I didn't expect to be thanked     by someone I just fought. [17:56] AMON     Are you not going to finish me off? [17:58] AMON     Ah, are you enjoying watching     a pretty young girl suffer? [18:04] RUD     You called yourself "a" demon king.     Does that mean there are others? [18:09] AMON     Yes, though I don't know exactly how many. [18:13] RUD     What is their goal? [18:15] AMON     The demon kings are playing a game... [18:20] AMON     to see if they can destroy this world. [18:29] RUD     And what's your goal? [18:32] RUD     Do you oppose humans as a demon king? [18:34] RUD     Or do you simply wish to     fight powerful opponents? [18:38] AMON     Seems you have something to say. [18:40] RUD     Yeah. [18:41] AMON     Out with it, then. [18:44] RUD     Will you help us? [18:46] AMON     What? [18:48] RUD     If demon kings are going to keep bothering us,      then I want allies to help me to fight them. [18:54] AMON     In that case, why not put a Slave's Armband     on me and force me to obey you? [18:58] RUD     I don't want to force anyone to do anything.      That's why I'm asking. [19:03] AMON     You're an amusing fellow. [19:07] AMON     Well, it's not as though I'm particularly     attached to being a demon king. [19:11] AMON     In fact, if you're welcoming me      into your ranks... [19:15] AMON     then I'll gladly become your ally. [19:20] RUD     Thanks. [19:22] RUD     For now, let's return to— [19:24] RUD     What? [19:25] AMON     I'm tired and can't walk anymore.     I want you to carry me. [19:30] RUD     Uh, what? [19:30] SIGN     Uh, what? [19:31] SIGN     Uh, what? [19:31] RUD/ID     And that's how we successfully recruited     Amon Sloth, Keild Labyrinth's guardian. [19:38] RUD/ID     And then, at the clans' ball     that was held later... [19:44] RUD     Our clan has conquered      the Keild Labyrinth. [19:47] GUEST A     This is a map of the 51st floor. [19:49] GUEST B     You're joking. [19:50] RUD     In exchange for this map      and information, [19:53] RUD     we request an alliance      with both your clans. [19:56] RUD/ID     ...I declared our intent. [19:58] RUD/ID     Naturally, I didn't mention that we'd     recruited the guardian this time either. [20:03] RUD/ID     Having formed an alliance with the two     major clans, we decided to return to Avancia. [20:09] RUD/ID     I miss Manicia. [20:12] LILY     Rud. [20:14] LILY     Rud. [20:15] RUD     Li— [20:17] LILY     Be quiet, or you'll wake the others. [20:21] LILY     Thank you for your actions     during that battle in the labyrinth. [20:24] RUD     Sure. But like I said, we won because of you. [20:29] LILY     We won because of all of us. [20:31] LILY     But I was able to fight because of you, Rud. [20:37] LILY     Thank you. [20:39] LILY     I'm going to sleep now. [20:43] RUD/ID     Wh-What was that just now? [20:45] RUD/ID     Wait, she's asleep already? [20:47] RUD/ID     Uh, I'll ask her what that was     about later. For now, I'll sleep. [20:52] LILIA     Rud. [20:54] RUD/ID     Lilia! Did she see what just happened? [20:57] LILIA     Thanks for helping me during     that battle in the labyrinth. [21:00] LILIA     I heard your voice. [21:03] LILIA     That's all. [21:05] RUD     Uh, sure. [21:09] RUD/N     When we arrived back in Avancia,     we immediately went to see Manicia. [21:14] RUD     Manicia, use this. [21:16] RUD     How do you feel? [21:18] MANICIA     My body feels much lighter. [21:22] MANICIA     Ms. Amon, thank you. [21:25] AMON     What? [21:26] MANICIA     I don't have much to offer you, [21:30] MANICIA     but I'll cook your meals and     serve you a 3PM snack every day. [21:34] MANICIA     So while you're staying here,     please eat as much as you want. [21:40] AMON     I like how that sounds coming     from a cute little human like you. [21:45] AMON     And the snacks are good. [21:48] AMON     Perhaps I'll stick around      this town for a while.
