[02:14] Lugh
    Dia!
[02:19] Dia
    Lugh!
[02:20] Lugh
    Dia!
[02:25] Lugh
    I'm glad you're all right.
[02:30] Dia
    You really came.
[02:38] Dimor
    I thought my daughter was
    a stranger to romance.
[02:42] Dimor
    Who knew you'd stolen her heart?
[02:46] Dimor
    I am Dimor Viekone.
[02:48] Lugh
    I am Lugh Tuatha Dé.
[02:50] Lugh
    I came here to respond to your request.
[02:53] Dimor
    I did ask for Dia to be taken away,
[02:56] ---
    but it seems she'll be taken
    away in more ways than one.
[02:59] Dia
    Father, don't say that.
[03:05] Dimor
    I told my vassals to flee, but I'm sure
    they'd say they couldn't leave without us.
[03:11] Dimor
    They locked us in here because they
    sensed I intended to surrender.
[03:16] Lugh
    What are you going to do after this?
[03:18] Dimor
    If it's me alone, I'll manage just fine.
[03:21] Dimor
    I'll draw the enemy to me
    by going on a rampage,
[03:24] ---
    and vanish after allowing
    my allies to escape.
[03:27] Dimor
    Then I'll prepare for a counterattack
[03:30] ---
    so this kingdom can be returned
    to its rightful owners.
[03:34] Lugh
    Understood. I'll set fire to this room.
[03:37] Lugh
    Our story will be that Dia committed suicide.
[03:46] Dia
    What's this?
[03:47] Lugh
    A fallen soldier.
[03:49] Lugh
    I feel sorry for them,
    but they'll help us fake your death.
[03:52] Dimor
    Cian has a marvelous heir. I'm jealous.
[03:58] Lugh
    Dia, shout out the window.
[04:01] Lugh
    This is what you'll say:
[04:02] Lugh
    "It pains me to see anyone
    else get hurt because of me."
[04:07] Lugh
    "I won't belong to anyone."
[04:10] Dia
    Got it.
[04:18] Lugh
    Once you're finished, close the window.
[04:20] Lugh
    Then we'll set fire to this room.
[04:22] Dimor
    I'll tell only the commander about this.
[04:25] Dimor
    I'm sure he'll allow my vassals
    to escape amidst the confusion.
[04:29] Dia
    I'm ready.
[04:30] Lugh
    All right. Let's begin.
[04:37] Lugh
    What is this feeling?
[04:42] Lugh
    Shit.
[04:44] Lugh
    Shit.
[04:46] ---
    Shit!
[04:47] Lugh
    This is the feeling I experience
    when danger is approaching!
[05:05] Lugh
    Get away from the window!
[05:25] Dia
    Lugh...
[05:29] Dia
    What is that?
[05:44] Lugh
    He has so much mana.
[05:50] Dia
    Lugh!
[05:51] Lugh
    Etaerc nonnac.
[05:54] Lugh
    Cover your ears and open your mouth!
[05:57] Lugh
    Drabmob.
[06:15] Dia
    It's been a while since
    I last saw your Bombard.
[06:18] Dimor
    What was that?
[06:21] Lugh
    One of my assassination techniques.
[06:24] Lugh
    I use it to kill distant targets.
[06:27] Dimor
    I'm not sure I know what
    assassination is anymore.
[06:31] Dia
    If you got hit by that,
    nothing would be left behind.
[06:39] Lugh
    That knight...
[06:46] Setanta
    So this is pain? I've never felt this before!
[06:49] Setanta
    It's not too bad.
[06:51] Lugh
    That's the S-rank skill Berserk.
[06:55] Lugh
    Triggered by anger, it increases
    physical and magical abilities.
[07:00] Lugh
    An aura of rage raises attack and defense.
[07:05] Lugh
    Judging by his condition, even if the next
    Bombard hits him, he'll be unscathed.
[07:10] Dia
    No way...
[07:11] Dimor
    Lugh, take Dia and run.
[07:15] Dimor
    Now that he's shown up, we don't have
    resources to spare to fake Dia's death.
[07:20] Lugh
    You know him?
[07:21] Dimor
    He ended the civil war.
[07:25] Dimor
    I didn't think he'd arrive this quickly.
[07:28] Dimor
    When the royal family realized no one
    could stop him, they surrendered.
[07:34] Setanta
    I heard there was a woman here
    who uses troublesome magic.
[07:38] Setanta
    That was an impressive display!
[07:41] Setanta
    I'll allow you to choose!
[07:44] Setanta
    Do you want me to slaughter
    every last one of you,
[07:48] ---
    or will you duel me like a knight?
[07:51] Lugh
    A duel?
[07:52] Setanta
    If you win,
[07:54] Setanta
    I'll withdraw all our forces and never allow
    them to make a move on Viekone again.
[07:58] Setanta
    What do you think? Pretty good deal, right?
[08:00] Dia
    A duel? But, Lugh...
[08:02] Lugh
    With the Berserk skill, in exchange
    for overwhelming strength,
[08:06] ---
    he should lose his sense
    of reason as a side effect.
[08:09] Lugh
    But he's still acting rationally.
[08:12] Lugh
    The odds that an ordinary human would
    possess both Berserk and the skill necessary
[08:17] ---
    to suppress its side effects are
    astronomically small, which means...
[08:20] Setanta
    My name is Setanta MacNess!
[08:23] ---
    I'll give you time to steel your resolve.
[08:26] Setanta
    Surely dying in a duel is
    a knight's greatest wish.
[08:29] Lugh
    She was right.
[08:31] (Flashback) Maha
    The divine treasure I found
    is the magic spear Gáe Bolg.
[08:35] (Flashback) Maha
    It's owned by a man named Setanta MacNess.
[08:38] (Flashback) Maha
    He's also known as Kran's Hound,
[08:41] (Flashback) Maha
    and the man most likely to be the Hero.
[08:44] Lugh
    That's the divine treasure Gáe Bolg.
[08:48] Lugh
    And he is...
[09:08] Cian
    Enter.
[09:10] Esri
    I'm sorry to bother you.
[09:12] Cian
    It's fine. What is it?
[09:15] Esri
    This just arrived.
[09:24] Cian
    What? The Hero?

[09:32] Setanta
    Whatever you do,
    you'd better not run away!
[09:35] Setanta
    If you do that, I don't think
    I'll be able to hold myself back.
[09:39] Setanta
    You're the first opponent I've found who
    might be able to put up a proper fight!
[09:44] Lugh
    He's completely zeroed in on me.
[09:47] Lugh
    I can't run from him.
[09:49] ---
    I have to accept his challenge.
[09:51] Dia
    But... But you'd beat him in a duel, right?
[09:55] Lugh
    I'd definitely lose a duel against him.
[09:58] Lugh
    If this can't kill him,
    then there's nothing I can do.
[10:02] Lugh
    I'd be lucky to last ten seconds.
[10:05] Dia
    It's too reckless to duel him
    when you know you can't win!
[10:08] Lugh
    All I said was that I'd lose a duel.
[10:11] Lugh
    Etaerc netsgnut.
[10:14] Dia
    How are you so calm?
[10:16] ---
    You'll die if you lose!
[10:18] Dia
    I'll fight with you!
[10:20] Lugh
    Dia.
[10:21] Lugh
    I'm not a knight, much less a Hero.
[10:24] Lugh
    I'm an assassin.
[10:26] Lugh
    The only thing I can do is assassinate.
[10:28] Lugh
    And that's what I'll do now.
[10:30] Dia
    Lugh...
[10:32] Lugh
    Gnitaolf cigam.
[10:37] Lugh
    Count Viekone, come with me.
[10:40] Lugh
    If we're going to end this war with a duel,
[10:43] ---
    you'll need to be present.
[10:47] Dimor
    Very well. I'm sorry you
    got caught up in this.
[10:52] Dimor
    We could use all our remaining forces
    to stop him so you and Dia can escape.
[10:57] Lugh
    You wouldn't last a minute against him.
[11:01] Lugh
    I'm going to assassinate him.
[11:04] Dimor
    All right. Let's go.
[11:08] Lugh
    If he really is the Hero,
[11:11] ---
    then killing him could be a problem.
[11:14] Lugh
    But if I can't assassinate him here,
    then it's over either way.
[11:27] Maha
    Brother Lugh...
[11:30] Viekone Commander
    Orders from the count.
[11:32] ---
    Everyone is to return to the castle.
[11:35] Senanta
    I've been waiting for you.
[11:37] Setanta
    Tell me. Have you steeled your resolve?
[11:40] Lugh
    I accept your challenge.
[11:44] Setanta
    Finally, a duel!
[11:46] Setanta
    I'm starting to get excited!
[11:46] Lugh
    443 more seconds.
[11:49] Lugh
    The code of chivalry
    demands I identify myself.
[11:52] Setanta
    Fantastic. Being on the battlefield
    demands that this be all the classier.
[11:56] Lugh
    I am Feri Marconi.
[11:59] Setanta
    Feri, huh? I'll remember that.
[12:02] Setanta
    Thanks to you, I tasted my
    own blood for the first time.
[12:06] Lugh
    His wounds have healed completely.
[12:08] Lugh
    It must be the power of his Berserk skill.
[12:11] Lugh
    Not only is he negating the
    side effects of the skill,
[12:13] ---
    he's also capable of instantly
    healing any superficial damage.
[12:17] Lugh
    He truly is exceptional. I'm beat.
[12:21] Lugh
    Setanta, if I win this duel,
    you'll withdraw your forces, right?
[12:26] Setanta
    Sure. I'll withdraw our forces and
    never make a move on this region again.
[12:30] Setanta
    I'll kill anyone who does.
[12:33] Setanta
    Shall I impose a geas on myself?
[12:36] Lugh
    I trust you.
[12:38] Lugh
    However, I'll end up
    killing you in this duel.
[12:42] Lugh
    I'm uncertain that you'll be
    able to keep your promise.
[12:44] Setanta
    Now you've said it.
[12:45] ---
    No one's ever spoken to me like that before.
[12:48] Setanta
    Hey!
[12:50] Dilmura
    Yes, sir?
[12:51] Setanta
    If I die, you'll keep my promise.
[12:54] Dilmura
    As you wish, sir.
[12:55] Setanta
    Satisfied, Feri?
[12:58] Lugh
    221 seconds.
[13:00] Lugh
    One last question. What happens if I die?
[13:05] Setanta
    I'll kidnap the princess and
    slaughter everyone else.
[13:09] Setanta
    I bet that lights a fire in you, doesn't it?
[13:11] Lugh
    Yeah, it does.
    I can't allow myself to lose now.
[13:16] Setanta
    Then let's get this started!
[13:19] Setanta
    I'm hungry for a strong opponent!
[13:21] Lugh
    126 seconds.
[13:22] Lugh
    First, why don't you withdraw your soldiers?
[13:24] Lugh
    I'm not confident they won't
    get caught up in our duel.
[13:26] Lugh
    If simply winning is enough to end this war,
[13:28] ---
    there's no reason to kill them pointlessly.
[13:31] Setanta
    You're such a nice guy.
[13:32] Setanta
    Did you have a good upbringing?
[13:34] Lugh
    I was disciplined harshly.
[13:36] Setanta
    Did you hear that?
[13:38] ---
    Stand back if you don't want to die!
[13:40] Lugh
    Count Viekone, let me handle this.
[13:44] Dimor
    All right. Good luck.
[14:03] Lugh
    Etaerc muinatit.
[14:07] Dimor
    I doubt that flimsy little thing
    will be enough to stop my spear!
[14:11] Lugh
    44 seconds.
[14:13] Lugh
    You'll see once we start fighting.
[14:15] Lugh
    No, maybe you won't.
[14:17] Setanta
    What does that mean?
[14:19] Lugh
    This duel will end before
    I need to block your spear.
[14:23] Setanta
    You've got a big mouth on you.
[14:26] Setanta
    You're so interesting,
    I just want to kill you.
[14:29] Setanta
    How shall we begin?
[14:31] Lugh
    How about when this falls?
[14:34] Setanta
    Yeah, sure!
[14:39] Lugh
    Then it's decided.
[14:42] Lugh
    In a duel, one's initial move is crucial.
[14:46] Lugh
    Both parties focus all their attention on the
    coin so they don't miss the moment it falls.
[14:52] Lugh
    Seven, six, five...
[14:56] Lugh
    I'm not a knight,
[14:58] Lugh
    nor will I allow you to have any glory.
[15:01] Lugh
    Just die.
[15:17] Lugh
    This assassination spell is
    based on a space weapon
[15:20] ---
    being developed by a country from my
    previous life, known as "rods from God."
[15:25] Lugh
    Metal is dropped from orbit.
[15:28] Lugh
    It's a matter-based weapon
    comparable to nuclear weapons.
[15:30] Lugh
    However, there were issues with launching
    large amounts of matter into orbit
[15:35] ---
    and preventing the rods from burning up
    as they re-entered the atmosphere,
[15:39] ---
    so it hadn't been implemented there,
    but it's easy for me to do now.
[15:45] Lugh
    There is an Earth spell that
    doubles the gravity of the target.
[15:49] Lugh
    Dia devised a technique for making
    that constant a negative,
[15:52] ---
    and Spell Weaver turned that into
    a dynamic-force-reversing spell.
[15:59] Lugh
    That allows me to send objects into orbit.
[16:03] Lugh
    Once the tungsten spear has reached orbit,
[16:06] ---
    I cast wind magic on it, protecting it from
    heating on re-entry, and allow it to free fall.
[16:11] Lugh
    But the problem is aiming it.
[16:14] Lugh
    Aiming for a direct hit would require
    extremely accurate calculations and execution.
[16:19] Lugh
    That's why I trained on the
    uninhabited island Maha found.
[16:24] Lugh
    Otherwise, this assassination
    attempt never could've succeeded.
[16:28] Lugh
    It instantaneously releases the
    energy of 111 shots from a tank gun.
[16:33] Lugh
    This duel ended the moment
    I threw that tungsten spear.
[16:51] Dia
    Lugh...
[17:23] Lugh
    I developed the spell
    Gungnir to defeat the Hero.
[17:29] Lugh
    That's the spell that assassinated you.
[17:44] ---
    Lugh...
[17:46] Dia
    Lugh!
[17:49] ---
    Lugh!
[17:51] Lugh
    Dia...
[17:53] Dia
    Lugh...
[17:56] ---
    Lugh!
[17:57] Dia
    I'm glad you're all right.
[17:59] Lugh
    Yeah.
[18:02] ---
    Are you sure this is what you wanted?
[18:05] Dia
    I'm sad that things turned out this way,
[18:09] ---
    but because of you,
    nothing truly sad happened.
[18:15] Lugh
    Yeah.
[18:16] Dia
    Why did you come to save me?
[18:19] Dia
    You risked your life for no
    benefit to House Tuatha Dé.
[18:24] Lugh
    I promised I'd come running.
[18:29] Dia
    You remembered our old promise...
[18:37] Dia
    Thank you.
[18:39] ---
    I'll repay my debt to you in my own way.
[18:44] Lugh
    Don't worry about it.
[18:46] ---
    By fulfilling this promise,
    I'm repaying my debt to you.
[18:49] Lugh
    If you repay that debt, we'll be
    paying each other back forever.
[18:54] Dia
    You're right.
[18:56] ---
    But paying each other back
    forever sounds kind of nice.
[19:00] Lugh
    You're right. There's a problem, though.
[19:06] Lugh
    I don't see any enemies.
[19:08] ---
    Without witnesses, we can't fake your death.
[19:12] Dia
    I suppose you're right.
[19:25] Lugh
    For the first time in my life,
    I've failed an assassination attempt.
[19:29] Lugh
    Things didn't go as planned,
    but I don't feel too bad about it.
[22:24] Cian
    Well done completing the job, Lugh.
[22:27] Tarte
    I knew you could do it, Mr. Lugh.
[22:30] Lugh
    Thanks to you, Tarte.
[22:31] Tarte
    Aw, shucks.
[22:33] Cian
    Thank you for fulfilling my friend's request
    in your disappointing father's place.
[22:38] Lugh
    But I failed an assassination
    attempt for the first time.
[22:42] Cian
    It's fine as long as Dia's alive.
[22:45] Cian
    From now on, she'll conceal her identity
    and live here as your younger sister.
[22:50] Lugh
    My younger sister?
    But Dia's three years older than me.
[22:53] Cian
    She shares Esri's family line.
[22:55] Cian
    She's short and has a young face.
[22:58] Cian
    People will believe she's
    your younger sister.
[23:01] Cian
    I have one other important thing to tell you.
[23:04] Lugh
    All right.
[23:06] Cian
    The Hero has appeared here
    in the Alvan Kingdom.
[23:09] Lugh
    The Hero? In this kingdom?
[23:12] Lugh
    Setanta wasn't the Hero?
[23:14] Cian
    Which means that before long,
    the Demon Lord will appear.
[23:20] Cian
    Lugh, keep an eye on the situation.
[23:23] Lugh
    Yes, Dad.
[23:28] Knight Captain
    Thank you for coming.
[23:33] Mireille
    Allow me to introduce you.
[23:34] Mireille
    This is the Hero,
[23:36] Mireille
    Lord Epona Rhiannon.
