00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:23,667
Episode 19

2
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:26,461
Lucnoca the Winter
and Psianop the Inexhaustible Stagnation

3
00:01:31,549 --> 00:01:36,471
Igania Ice Lake

4
00:01:37,639 --> 00:01:39,265
Minia, Sixth General of
Harghent the Still

5
00:01:39,349 --> 00:01:41,476
It's cold!

6
00:01:41,559 --> 00:01:43,561
Feels like I'll freeze solid.

7
00:01:43,645 --> 00:01:45,480
Didn't expect it to be this bad.

8
00:01:45,563 --> 00:01:47,148
Won't stop me, though.

9
00:01:47,232 --> 00:01:50,235
Rosclay wouldn't be whining
about a little snow.

10
00:01:50,318 --> 00:01:52,237
The real fight's ahead.

11
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,780
-Right, General?
-Huh?

12
00:01:54,364 --> 00:01:58,451
Look… I have no intention of trying
to fight Lucnoca the Winter.

13
00:01:58,952 --> 00:02:00,870
I just want you to guide me to her.

14
00:02:01,413 --> 00:02:04,541
Besides, do you honestly think
you'd stand a chance?

15
00:02:04,624 --> 00:02:05,625
Of course!

16
00:02:06,251 --> 00:02:09,796
By the way, do you know
what kind of general Rosclay is?

17
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:12,048
You ever have the honor
of crossin' swords with him?

18
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:15,010
What? Rosclay… he's, uh…

19
00:02:15,093 --> 00:02:17,137
I bet he's faster than lightning!

20
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:19,180
Cleaving through enemies with one strike!

21
00:02:19,264 --> 00:02:20,682
Armor be damned!

22
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:25,145
How can he speak so confidently
about Rosclay's abilities

23
00:02:25,228 --> 00:02:27,272
-if he's never seen him fight before?

24
00:02:31,359 --> 00:02:35,196
If Alus is entering
the Royal Games as a Hero candidate,

25
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,782
I fear only one being can beat him.

26
00:02:38,617 --> 00:02:40,660
Lucnoca the Winter.

27
00:02:40,744 --> 00:02:44,539
In fact, I cannot fathom
who would be her equal.

28
00:02:49,544 --> 00:02:52,797
Three hundred years back,
this was a tropical climate.

29
00:02:53,298 --> 00:02:55,759
It was Lucnoca who changed that.

30
00:02:55,842 --> 00:02:57,052
And look at it now.

31
00:02:57,135 --> 00:02:59,346
-Yeah?
-Yeah.

32
00:02:59,429 --> 00:03:02,474
I wonder, how would you avoid her claws
in a fight?

33
00:03:02,557 --> 00:03:04,059
I've got a solid plan.

34
00:03:04,643 --> 00:03:08,438
Y'see… I've perfected a technique
that'll parry them at a safe angle.

35
00:03:08,521 --> 00:03:09,564
Have you now?

36
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:11,441
What about her breath?

37
00:03:11,524 --> 00:03:12,817
My secret weapon.

38
00:03:13,401 --> 00:03:14,736
Fighting spirit.

39
00:03:14,819 --> 00:03:16,112
You're kidding.

40
00:03:16,196 --> 00:03:17,322
Not at all.

41
00:03:17,405 --> 00:03:19,783
Through it, everything is possible.

42
00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:21,743
Bet that's Rosclay's mindset too.

43
00:03:21,826 --> 00:03:24,329
Dragon's good as dead.

44
00:03:27,165 --> 00:03:31,336
Am I being just as reckless
as this braggart by journeying here?

45
00:03:32,003 --> 00:03:34,172
Defeated by Vikeon the Smoldering.

46
00:03:37,133 --> 00:03:38,218
Huh?

47
00:03:41,471 --> 00:03:43,807
Wait. Lagrex, stop.

48
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:46,560
You're not convinced.

49
00:03:46,643 --> 00:03:48,061
But wait 'til you see me fight.

50
00:03:48,144 --> 00:03:49,563
You'll eat your words.

51
00:03:49,646 --> 00:03:51,398
-You idiot. Look up!

52
00:03:51,481 --> 00:03:52,691
Wha…

53
00:03:57,863 --> 00:03:59,906
Good. Finally.

54
00:03:59,990 --> 00:04:01,575
Lucnoca the Winter!

55
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:06,663
My name is Lagrex
the Butchering Landslide!

56
00:04:06,746 --> 00:04:08,874
I came here today to defeat you,

57
00:04:08,957 --> 00:04:11,376
and claim the title of "champion"!

58
00:04:27,809 --> 00:04:29,060
Fight me!

59
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:31,104
Greetings, traveler.

60
00:04:31,188 --> 00:04:33,982
You obviously know who I am.

61
00:04:34,065 --> 00:04:36,776
Relax. You are welcome here.

62
00:04:37,652 --> 00:04:42,365
My apologies, for I can afford you
so little hospitality.

63
00:04:43,950 --> 00:04:44,951
Huh?

64
00:04:45,452 --> 00:04:47,287
Is she toying around with us?

65
00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:48,955
-Not at all.

66
00:04:49,039 --> 00:04:51,833
I haven't seen minians in ages.

67
00:04:51,917 --> 00:04:54,878
Have you brought news
of the outside world?

68
00:04:56,588 --> 00:04:57,631
Something like that.

69
00:04:57,714 --> 00:04:59,257
Lucnoca the Winter!

70
00:04:59,341 --> 00:05:01,635
Won't you show this man
how strong you are?

71
00:05:03,220 --> 00:05:04,554
Why do you hesitate?

72
00:05:04,638 --> 00:05:06,973
Don't tell me you fear a minia.

73
00:05:07,057 --> 00:05:11,520
Would you go down in history as the coward
who ignored a gauntlet cast before you?

74
00:05:11,603 --> 00:05:12,979
Is that your wish?

75
00:05:13,063 --> 00:05:14,981
Hm. That wouldn't bother me.

76
00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:17,901
What?

77
00:05:17,984 --> 00:05:21,655
If you'd like to boast
about slaying a senile old woman,

78
00:05:21,738 --> 00:05:22,906
then please do.

79
00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:24,449
No one will ever know.

80
00:05:24,533 --> 00:05:26,034
Claim your victory.

81
00:05:27,035 --> 00:05:30,539
Well done,
Lagrex the Butchering Landslide.

82
00:05:38,338 --> 00:05:40,715
-Oh, dear.

83
00:05:41,383 --> 00:05:44,427
I offered you both victory and honor.

84
00:05:44,511 --> 00:05:46,471
What more could you want from me?

85
00:05:55,689 --> 00:05:58,108
Stop this.
Take what she's offered.

86
00:05:58,733 --> 00:06:01,862
You'll be known as Lagrex,
the dragon slayer!

87
00:06:01,945 --> 00:06:03,780
That's not good enough.

88
00:06:03,864 --> 00:06:06,283
Would you be satisfied

89
00:06:06,366 --> 00:06:07,784
-living a lie, General?

90
00:06:07,868 --> 00:06:09,453
You underestimate me.

91
00:06:09,536 --> 00:06:11,288
Do you think I am nothing but talk?

92
00:06:11,371 --> 00:06:12,497
No, that's not--

93
00:06:12,581 --> 00:06:16,293
When I said I could defeat
a dragon with this sword, I meant it.

94
00:06:16,877 --> 00:06:18,295
Ever since I was a boy,

95
00:06:18,378 --> 00:06:20,547
all I've dreamed of, day and night,

96
00:06:20,630 --> 00:06:22,424
was claiming a dragon's head!

97
00:06:22,507 --> 00:06:24,384
That's why four years ago,

98
00:06:24,468 --> 00:06:27,095
when I heard tell of Rosclay's bravery,

99
00:06:27,179 --> 00:06:28,180
I knew…

100
00:06:28,263 --> 00:06:32,684
I knew that the man I've become
would finally attain that boy's dream!

101
00:06:33,268 --> 00:06:34,436
No.

102
00:06:35,020 --> 00:06:37,939
You don't know the truth of the matter.

103
00:06:38,023 --> 00:06:41,151
General, I give you my thanks.

104
00:06:41,234 --> 00:06:42,694
No one else believed in me.

105
00:06:42,778 --> 00:06:45,322
Who but you would have journeyed
with me this far?

106
00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:47,199
Think about this.

107
00:06:47,282 --> 00:06:49,326
Ah, now I see.

108
00:06:49,951 --> 00:06:55,081
Your heart cannot know peace
until you prove that you can kill me.

109
00:06:56,082 --> 00:06:58,835
I can't do anything to remedy that.

110
00:06:58,919 --> 00:07:00,337
-Except…
-Huh?

111
00:07:13,475 --> 00:07:14,601
Dear me.

112
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:20,565
Lagre…

113
00:07:20,649 --> 00:07:22,067
General, tho…

114
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:23,860
-…those claws are sharp.

115
00:07:27,864 --> 00:07:29,199
But still I breathe.

116
00:07:29,282 --> 00:07:30,367
I'm not done.

117
00:07:31,618 --> 00:07:35,414
Y'see… I've perfected a technique
that'll parry them at a safe angle.

118
00:07:38,542 --> 00:07:40,335
Lucnoca the Winter.

119
00:07:41,336 --> 00:07:42,921
Now I see.

120
00:07:43,004 --> 00:07:44,589
It is plain as day.

121
00:07:48,718 --> 00:07:51,012
I know what it is that you fear.

122
00:07:51,763 --> 00:07:53,640
You are mistaken.

123
00:07:53,724 --> 00:07:54,891
Fear?

124
00:07:54,975 --> 00:07:57,894
What do I have to be afraid of?

125
00:07:57,978 --> 00:07:59,146
The truth is…

126
00:07:59,730 --> 00:08:01,815
You've lost hope, haven't you?

127
00:08:03,108 --> 00:08:04,359
That's right.

128
00:08:04,443 --> 00:08:06,111
I see it in your eyes.

129
00:08:06,194 --> 00:08:08,864
How many brave fighters
have challenged you,

130
00:08:08,947 --> 00:08:11,283
only to be struck down in an instant.

131
00:08:11,867 --> 00:08:13,869
You're too strong to be beaten.

132
00:08:13,952 --> 00:08:16,496
People spend their whole lives
preparing to fight you,

133
00:08:16,580 --> 00:08:17,914
and in one fell swoop,

134
00:08:17,998 --> 00:08:19,791
they die a fool's death.

135
00:08:19,875 --> 00:08:21,251
Am I wrong?

136
00:08:31,136 --> 00:08:34,890
Minia
Yushid the Firmament

137
00:08:37,142 --> 00:08:41,897
You think you can pierce my armored scales
with that tiny spear?

138
00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:45,275
Even a child could see
how badly I outmatch you.

139
00:08:45,359 --> 00:08:46,651
Don't even try.

140
00:08:47,194 --> 00:08:49,196
Hold your tongue, dragon!

141
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:52,699
When I've bested you,
you'll realize how wrong you are!

142
00:09:01,083 --> 00:09:04,753
Surely you realize
you have no hope of defeating me.

143
00:09:04,836 --> 00:09:07,422
You're about to forfeit your life.

144
00:09:07,506 --> 00:09:09,466
Lower your staff.

145
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:10,759
No.

146
00:09:10,842 --> 00:09:14,388
You are what I've dreamt of,
for all my many years.

147
00:09:16,223 --> 00:09:19,059
How can this pitiful elf turn away

148
00:09:19,142 --> 00:09:22,854
and run from the goal he's suffered
toward his entire life?

149
00:09:29,903 --> 00:09:32,072
This is a useless endeavor.

150
00:09:32,155 --> 00:09:34,449
Minia
Lalaki the Fleeting Tomb

151
00:09:35,242 --> 00:09:38,787
Won't you grant this wise old woman
a simple wish?

152
00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:42,082
Do not throw your life away
in a moment of passion.

153
00:09:42,165 --> 00:09:44,501
My mother and father
gave me this body

154
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:45,961
and it will be the end of you!

155
00:09:46,044 --> 00:09:48,630
I am the strongest person in this land.

156
00:09:48,714 --> 00:09:49,965
Now let me prove it!

157
00:09:58,140 --> 00:09:59,599
In the Distant World,

158
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,853
the climate changes
in a more dramatic fashion

159
00:10:02,936 --> 00:10:04,604
than it does here.

160
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,358
It is said that once a year,

161
00:10:08,442 --> 00:10:10,819
everything falls silent there.

162
00:10:10,902 --> 00:10:12,404
The air chills

163
00:10:12,487 --> 00:10:14,865
-and the world dies.

164
00:10:14,948 --> 00:10:16,867
-It is a season of death.

165
00:10:17,617 --> 00:10:20,537
They call it winter.

166
00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:27,919
Your heart is not unlike this terrain.

167
00:10:28,420 --> 00:10:30,964
It is home to a terrible storm.

168
00:10:32,424 --> 00:10:34,635
Yes, that may be the case.

169
00:10:35,886 --> 00:10:37,888
Aureatia. Go there.

170
00:10:39,056 --> 00:10:42,893
The champions of this world
are gathering in her streets as we speak.

171
00:10:42,976 --> 00:10:44,561
And there's more.

172
00:10:44,645 --> 00:10:48,065
You know of the many labyrinths
that have existed in your lifetime.

173
00:10:48,148 --> 00:10:50,901
But did you know,
12 have been conquered by a wyvern?

174
00:10:51,485 --> 00:10:54,571
The same wyvern
who killed Toroa the Awful

175
00:10:54,655 --> 00:10:56,406
and took the Luminous Blade.

176
00:10:56,490 --> 00:11:00,285
Who then used that enchanted sword
to kill Vikeon the Smoldering.

177
00:11:00,369 --> 00:11:02,788
This creature still flies free.

178
00:11:02,871 --> 00:11:04,331
Do you know his name?

179
00:11:04,414 --> 00:11:05,749
Interesting.

180
00:11:05,832 --> 00:11:09,336
In my many years,
I don't suppose I've met someone like you.

181
00:11:10,504 --> 00:11:12,673
Well, then… know me now.

182
00:11:12,756 --> 00:11:14,424
I am the Sixth General.

183
00:11:14,508 --> 00:11:16,718
And my name is Harghent the Still!

184
00:11:17,260 --> 00:11:18,929
All right, Harghent.

185
00:11:19,846 --> 00:11:22,891
I will be sure to remember who you are.

186
00:11:22,975 --> 00:11:26,812
As I remember the courageous champion,
Lagrex.

187
00:11:29,690 --> 00:11:32,442
Lagrex!

188
00:11:33,777 --> 00:11:37,698
For your courage,
I'll grant you safe passage home.

189
00:11:37,781 --> 00:11:39,449
After that…

190
00:11:39,533 --> 00:11:41,535
I'll fly to this place.

191
00:11:42,953 --> 00:11:45,455
Who is this wyvern you speak of?

192
00:11:47,165 --> 00:11:48,667
Alus the Star Runner.

193
00:11:49,167 --> 00:11:51,044
Ah. Alus.

194
00:11:51,795 --> 00:11:53,005
And he's strong?

195
00:11:55,173 --> 00:11:56,425
The strongest.

196
00:11:57,467 --> 00:11:58,719
She is the one

197
00:11:58,802 --> 00:12:01,388
who has been considered the most powerful,

198
00:12:01,471 --> 00:12:03,473
even among godlike beings,

199
00:12:03,557 --> 00:12:05,434
for centuries on end.

200
00:12:05,976 --> 00:12:09,104
The one who possesses
the breath of annihilation,

201
00:12:09,187 --> 00:12:11,857
which can destroy all life in an instant,

202
00:12:11,940 --> 00:12:14,735
and change the climate forever.

203
00:12:15,402 --> 00:12:17,404
Throughout recorded history,

204
00:12:17,487 --> 00:12:19,615
she is the only known wielder

205
00:12:19,698 --> 00:12:22,284
of Ice Word Arts in this world.

206
00:12:24,578 --> 00:12:26,914
She is who no one fights

207
00:12:27,539 --> 00:12:31,835
for none can weather
the desolation of her presence.

208
00:12:38,425 --> 00:12:43,972
Silencer. Dragon.
She is Lucnoca the Winter.

209
00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:47,976
The strongest of the dragonkin,
with wings and four limbs.

210
00:12:48,060 --> 00:12:53,232
Gokashe Sand Sea

211
00:12:54,149 --> 00:12:57,778
And after that, she brought back
seven tomes from the Sand Labyrinth,

212
00:12:57,861 --> 00:12:59,988
a storehouse for books
from the Distant World.

213
00:13:00,072 --> 00:13:03,492
Then she used what she learned to rise
in status and become a noblewoman.

214
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:07,621
Apparently, there's a name
for places full of texts like that.

215
00:13:07,704 --> 00:13:09,498
It's called a "library."

216
00:13:10,082 --> 00:13:12,709
If anyone was ever able
to decipher those books,

217
00:13:12,793 --> 00:13:15,879
the library would be worth
more than a kingdom of riches.

218
00:13:15,963 --> 00:13:18,298
Problem is, a group of lycans
called the Zehf Tribe

219
00:13:18,382 --> 00:13:21,385
are keeping anyone
from exploring the area and finding it.

220
00:13:21,468 --> 00:13:23,512
I've heard they're savage warriors.

221
00:13:23,595 --> 00:13:26,098
That's why this merchant
convoy was formed.

222
00:13:26,181 --> 00:13:28,433
Hey. Do you ever shut your damn mouth?

223
00:13:28,517 --> 00:13:29,518
Oh…

224
00:13:29,601 --> 00:13:32,271
I got carried away. Sorry.

225
00:13:33,063 --> 00:13:35,524
We finally got ourselves a big catch.

226
00:13:35,607 --> 00:13:36,608
Lycan
Heng the Shallow Stepper

227
00:13:36,692 --> 00:13:39,278
-Wow, there's so many of 'em!

228
00:13:39,361 --> 00:13:41,071
Calm down, Canute.

229
00:13:41,947 --> 00:13:44,283
It's time I test
the Shallow Stepper's training.

230
00:13:44,992 --> 00:13:46,159
I'll do this alone.

231
00:13:46,243 --> 00:13:48,912
-What? All by yourself, boss?

232
00:13:49,496 --> 00:13:50,622
-Don't think I can?

233
00:13:52,249 --> 00:13:55,043
Of course! Take them out.
I'll be your witness!

234
00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:04,553
-What?

235
00:14:04,636 --> 00:14:06,263
-Look out!

236
00:14:20,277 --> 00:14:22,154
My skills far outmatch yours.

237
00:14:22,237 --> 00:14:24,948
We are the children trained
by Neft the Nirvana.

238
00:14:25,032 --> 00:14:26,867
A warrior of the First Party.

239
00:14:26,950 --> 00:14:28,702
The First…

240
00:14:28,785 --> 00:14:30,704
Then, that must mean…

241
00:14:32,789 --> 00:14:33,916
That was incredible!

242
00:14:37,294 --> 00:14:39,421
See if they were carrying anything good.

243
00:14:39,505 --> 00:14:42,591
O-one day,
I wanna be just like you, boss!

244
00:14:42,674 --> 00:14:44,343
Don't hold your breath.

245
00:14:44,426 --> 00:14:46,762
It would take you a lifetime
to reach my level.

246
00:14:53,685 --> 00:14:55,145
What is this?

247
00:14:55,229 --> 00:14:57,981
What did everyone get up to
while we were gone?

248
00:14:58,065 --> 00:15:00,859
No… What happened?

249
00:15:00,943 --> 00:15:02,861
The guard beast is dead?

250
00:15:04,696 --> 00:15:07,115
Can you speak? What's going on?

251
00:15:07,199 --> 00:15:09,493
That… monster.

252
00:15:09,576 --> 00:15:12,913
It was no normal creature.
I swear.

253
00:15:12,996 --> 00:15:14,206
One attacker?

254
00:15:15,249 --> 00:15:16,583
A visitor.

255
00:15:16,667 --> 00:15:17,668
That's right.

256
00:15:17,751 --> 00:15:21,380
But it's… been right under our noses.
Close.

257
00:15:21,463 --> 00:15:23,382
It was living in the labyrinth.

258
00:15:25,968 --> 00:15:27,845
There. Up on the roof!

259
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:34,518
An ooze?

260
00:15:36,186 --> 00:15:37,521
Indeed.

261
00:15:38,689 --> 00:15:40,732
Did… did that ooze just talk?

262
00:15:41,650 --> 00:15:42,985
I'm Psianop.

263
00:15:43,569 --> 00:15:46,572
If you ask around,
I'm certain some will recognize that name.

264
00:15:46,655 --> 00:15:48,115
Why bother?

265
00:15:48,740 --> 00:15:51,660
You will wet the blade
of Heng the Shallow Stepper!

266
00:15:54,746 --> 00:15:57,166
-Are you okay, Boss?

267
00:15:57,249 --> 00:15:59,543
The ligaments in my knee…

268
00:15:59,626 --> 00:16:01,628
You shifted your center of gravity.

269
00:16:01,712 --> 00:16:04,339
-I could tell from your stance.

270
00:16:04,423 --> 00:16:07,676
You planned to feint with your blade
while swiping with your left claw.

271
00:16:09,261 --> 00:16:10,929
Is my assessment correct?

272
00:16:11,013 --> 00:16:12,681
That's… impossible.

273
00:16:12,765 --> 00:16:14,349
Enough.

274
00:16:14,433 --> 00:16:15,684
The match has been decided.

275
00:16:18,729 --> 00:16:20,189
What a shame.

276
00:16:21,815 --> 00:16:24,735
Such rudeness.

277
00:16:24,818 --> 00:16:26,612
You act like a ruffian.

278
00:16:30,783 --> 00:16:33,368
It's been a while, Psianop.

279
00:16:34,203 --> 00:16:36,205
Twenty-one years, to be exact.

280
00:16:36,789 --> 00:16:38,248
Neft the Nirvana.

281
00:16:38,749 --> 00:16:40,751
Well, I haven't been counting them…

282
00:16:41,502 --> 00:16:44,296
but my body reflects the passage of time.

283
00:16:44,421 --> 00:16:46,673
who stood against the True Demon King.

284
00:16:47,424 --> 00:16:49,593
Speak. Why have you come?

285
00:16:51,053 --> 00:16:53,055
Face me. Here and now.

286
00:17:03,941 --> 00:17:05,859
Your low kick is a feint.

287
00:17:07,069 --> 00:17:09,947
-The ax as you spin… is the attack.

288
00:17:10,030 --> 00:17:12,032
-A double strike.

289
00:17:14,910 --> 00:17:17,413
Well? Was my assessment correct?

290
00:17:17,496 --> 00:17:19,081
That decrepit body won't do.

291
00:17:19,164 --> 00:17:20,999
Show me your power.

292
00:17:21,083 --> 00:17:23,085
You fool.

293
00:17:23,168 --> 00:17:25,379
If you're hoping
that the years have weakened me…

294
00:17:25,462 --> 00:17:27,047
-…you're in for a surprise.

295
00:17:27,548 --> 00:17:28,549
To Neft's Heartbeat.

296
00:17:28,632 --> 00:17:31,301
Let Smoke Return as Cold Droplets.
Pale New Green.

297
00:17:31,385 --> 00:17:32,594
Reverse Solar Path.

298
00:17:32,678 --> 00:17:33,887
-Circulate.
-Master.

299
00:17:33,971 --> 00:17:34,972
Is that…

300
00:17:36,682 --> 00:17:38,100
As you wish.

301
00:17:38,183 --> 00:17:40,477
For a count of 800 and 50,

302
00:17:40,561 --> 00:17:44,606
I will once again be Neft the Nirvana
you knew long ago.

303
00:17:44,690 --> 00:17:47,609
Within that span,
I'll kill you five times!

304
00:17:47,693 --> 00:17:50,612
The immortal do not die!

305
00:17:50,696 --> 00:17:52,781
Twin Axes. Eyelids!

306
00:17:54,783 --> 00:17:55,784
Circulate.

307
00:17:59,955 --> 00:18:01,623
I don't know that technique.

308
00:18:01,707 --> 00:18:03,667
So this is how you've spent your days.

309
00:18:03,709 --> 00:18:05,544
Attempting to expand your power?

310
00:18:05,627 --> 00:18:06,712
Yes.

311
00:18:06,837 --> 00:18:09,923
I've passed the seasons
training in the Sand Labyrinth.

312
00:18:10,507 --> 00:18:12,301
There was so much to learn.

313
00:18:12,384 --> 00:18:15,095
The first book took me two years to study.

314
00:18:15,137 --> 00:18:17,014
And now, I know everything!

315
00:18:17,139 --> 00:18:20,100
Admirable dedication, Psianop!

316
00:18:20,142 --> 00:18:22,519
-I'm stronger than you.

317
00:18:23,437 --> 00:18:24,563
Observe!

318
00:18:25,522 --> 00:18:26,732
Cold Strike!

319
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,152
Circulate.

320
00:18:35,324 --> 00:18:37,034
He has no footwork to watch.

321
00:18:37,159 --> 00:18:41,705
It's impossible to gauge his range
or predict his attacks.

322
00:18:43,749 --> 00:18:45,125
Magnificent.

323
00:18:45,167 --> 00:18:48,462
Nothing but a sidekick before,
but look at you now.

324
00:18:49,254 --> 00:18:53,759
You'll throw your left ax.
Then… land a kick as I deflect it.

325
00:18:55,552 --> 00:18:57,888
That is an accurate assessment.

326
00:18:59,765 --> 00:19:00,891
To Psianop's Heartbeat.

327
00:19:00,974 --> 00:19:02,726
Still Ripples. Full Moon Rising.

328
00:19:02,768 --> 00:19:04,061
Circulate.

329
00:19:05,354 --> 00:19:06,772
Explain.

330
00:19:08,607 --> 00:19:10,359
Why did you leave me behind?

331
00:19:12,194 --> 00:19:14,279
It was the only smart choice.

332
00:19:14,363 --> 00:19:17,616
Must you make me repeat
the warning I gave you on that day?

333
00:19:18,409 --> 00:19:22,955
Psianop, you could never stand
against the True Demon King.

334
00:19:24,415 --> 00:19:26,709
You may be impressive for your kind.

335
00:19:26,792 --> 00:19:28,836
Abnormally strong and articulate.

336
00:19:28,877 --> 00:19:31,296
But you're still just a fragile ooze.

337
00:19:31,422 --> 00:19:33,716
No. You're wrong about me.

338
00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:35,301
You always were.

339
00:19:35,884 --> 00:19:37,177
I could have won then.

340
00:19:37,303 --> 00:19:38,470
Or now.

341
00:19:39,263 --> 00:19:42,558
If I'd been at your side,
we would have been victorious.

342
00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:43,600
Don't be stupid!

343
00:19:44,184 --> 00:19:45,728
Star of Tribulation!

344
00:19:45,853 --> 00:19:47,438
I told you before, Neft!

345
00:19:49,565 --> 00:19:50,607
Does he have me?

346
00:19:51,734 --> 00:19:53,485
-Five deaths!

347
00:19:53,610 --> 00:19:55,195
Howling Fluid Strike!

348
00:19:58,615 --> 00:20:00,159
-Circulate.

349
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,119
-Foundation Palm!

350
00:20:06,749 --> 00:20:08,000
-Circulate!

351
00:20:08,042 --> 00:20:09,627
Spiral Hand Blade!

352
00:20:11,503 --> 00:20:13,213
-Circulate.

353
00:20:13,297 --> 00:20:15,424
-Chained Leg!

354
00:20:16,717 --> 00:20:19,303
-Circulate…
-Thirteen Steps!

355
00:20:31,023 --> 00:20:34,068
I have now fulfilled my promise.

356
00:20:34,193 --> 00:20:35,653
Do you remember?

357
00:20:35,778 --> 00:20:38,948
I swore that one day
I would catch up to all of you.

358
00:20:40,366 --> 00:20:42,952
-Magnificent.

359
00:20:55,756 --> 00:20:58,676
I heard that someone else
finished the job.

360
00:20:58,801 --> 00:21:01,553
I'd so wanted to leave the Sand Sea

361
00:21:01,679 --> 00:21:04,390
and end the True Demon King myself.

362
00:21:05,099 --> 00:21:08,102
What will I do with the regret
that festers in me?

363
00:21:08,227 --> 00:21:10,354
-Aureatia.
-Hm?

364
00:21:10,396 --> 00:21:14,692
They say the unknown Hero
who defeated the True Demon King

365
00:21:14,817 --> 00:21:16,694
will appear at the Royal Games

366
00:21:16,735 --> 00:21:19,363
to display their might
as the world watches.

367
00:21:19,989 --> 00:21:21,824
Fight in the Games.

368
00:21:21,949 --> 00:21:23,993
If you believe
you could have defeated

369
00:21:24,076 --> 00:21:26,120
our horrible opponent that day…

370
00:21:26,745 --> 00:21:30,124
then you can prove it by slaying
the one who did so instead of you.

371
00:21:30,249 --> 00:21:32,126
It is the only way.

372
00:21:33,002 --> 00:21:34,420
Before you go…

373
00:21:35,296 --> 00:21:37,381
Do you have a second name?

374
00:21:37,423 --> 00:21:38,591
No.

375
00:21:38,716 --> 00:21:40,884
I am as I was when I traveled with you.

376
00:21:41,010 --> 00:21:43,679
An ooze known simply as Psianop.

377
00:21:43,721 --> 00:21:45,472
Is that so?

378
00:21:48,684 --> 00:21:53,314
Then from now on,
you are the Inexhaustible Stagnation.

379
00:21:53,898 --> 00:21:55,399
Thank you.

380
00:21:55,441 --> 00:21:57,443
-He is the one

381
00:21:57,484 --> 00:22:01,155
who has mastered countless martial arts
from the Distant World,

382
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,033
unlike any known in these lands.

383
00:22:04,074 --> 00:22:07,870
The one who possesses
infinite combat variations

384
00:22:07,995 --> 00:22:09,872
that render his opponents'
physical strikes

385
00:22:09,997 --> 00:22:12,791
and predictive models utterly useless.

386
00:22:13,334 --> 00:22:17,213
Who unleashes fatal attacks
that would be impossible for anyone

387
00:22:17,338 --> 00:22:20,507
without his unique physical structure
to perform.

388
00:22:21,091 --> 00:22:25,179
He is the only one
of the legendary First Party

389
00:22:25,304 --> 00:22:27,181
who has yet to know defeat

390
00:22:27,306 --> 00:22:29,600
or witness his glory fade.

391
00:22:30,684 --> 00:22:32,645
Grappler. Ooze.

392
00:22:32,686 --> 00:22:36,690
He is Psianop
the Inexhaustible Stagnation.

393
00:22:39,818 --> 00:22:41,695
