[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.
