WEBVTT

00:02.470 --> 00:04.400
Die!

00:04.400 --> 00:07.040
Your orders: strike it dead, Alma!

00:07.310 --> 00:08.130
On it.

00:09.850 --> 00:12.060
Accel: Duodecuple!

00:23.900 --> 00:26.520
Assassin Skill: Phantom.

00:26.520 --> 00:29.350
<i>A new skill that Alma gained by ranking up.</i>

00:29.350 --> 00:33.430
<i>Once every 24 hours, she can 
become intangible for three seconds,</i>

00:33.430 --> 00:35.990
<i>thus nullifying all physical attacks.</i>

00:36.700 --> 00:38.160
Quick Attack!

00:49.810 --> 00:52.260
Battle complete.

00:53.050 --> 00:55.380
Heck yeah!

00:55.380 --> 00:59.510
Now I can rank up to B, too!
No callin' me dead weight anymore!

00:59.990 --> 01:01.500
See? Lookee here!

01:01.500 --> 01:02.390
Buzz off.

01:04.150 --> 01:05.990
Noel, you...

01:07.090 --> 01:09.310
Were you planning on this all along?

01:09.640 --> 01:14.690
Yeah, I foresaw this outcome 
and laid the groundwork for it.

01:15.880 --> 01:19.970
I arranged for the guild to set this test up.

01:19.970 --> 01:25.750
The dantalion was our chosen target
because my skills are effective against it.

01:25.750 --> 01:27.730
Even those fake letters were my doing.

01:27.730 --> 01:29.710
Damn you!

01:30.070 --> 01:32.300
But not <i>everything</i> was.

01:32.300 --> 01:35.920
You guys were responsible 
for the way things turned out.

01:36.380 --> 01:39.140
You've wanted to be free for ages, haven't you?

01:41.340 --> 01:46.570
You guys are strong. 
But Leon's a different breed.

01:46.570 --> 01:50.440
Even your name, the Winged Knights,
is all about him.

01:51.310 --> 01:56.000
You're just his sidekicks. 
Easily replaceable.

01:56.840 --> 01:59.560
Jealousy is a troublesome emotion.

01:59.560 --> 02:04.990
It builds deep down in your heart 
and eventually rots it from the inside.

02:05.420 --> 02:13.130
Your party was always doomed. 
All I did was give you one last push.

02:14.880 --> 02:21.620
<i>Even the tightest bonds and friendships 
can break because of a single crack.</i>

02:23.550 --> 02:26.280
You think your party turned on you?

02:27.030 --> 02:31.150
Wrong. It was you who betrayed them, Leon.

02:31.440 --> 02:36.430
You brought this on by not 
trusting them when it counted.

02:38.520 --> 02:41.120
Good work, everyone.

02:41.980 --> 02:45.150
I observed the battle from start to finish.

02:46.350 --> 02:48.910
The winner is Blue Beyond.

02:49.300 --> 02:52.630
Your party's clan application is approved.

02:52.980 --> 02:57.360
And as per the terms of this test, 
the losing party, the Winged Knights,

02:57.360 --> 03:00.050
will immediately disband as pledged!

04:40.270 --> 04:42.690
Extra, extra!

04:44.570 --> 04:46.910
Yikes, is this for real?

04:47.280 --> 04:48.870
The Winged Knights...

04:49.160 --> 04:52.120
I kinda looked up to them.

04:52.120 --> 04:57.710
I was curious why Noel hadn't been
at the pub lately, and look at him now.

04:58.040 --> 05:00.170
What's the matter, Zeke?

05:00.170 --> 05:02.880
Let's go have lunch already.

05:03.710 --> 05:05.120
How amusing.

05:10.010 --> 05:13.920
We worked so hard for so long, 
and I thought we were tough.

05:15.020 --> 05:17.730
But I wasn't strong in the slightest.

05:19.060 --> 05:22.190
I'm just tired of it all...

05:23.360 --> 05:24.940
Ophelia!

05:25.740 --> 05:27.860
Cherish your friends.

05:35.660 --> 05:38.080
Considering the fact that you're here,

05:38.080 --> 05:42.540
may I take that to mean 
you're accepting my offer?

05:44.550 --> 05:47.510
Veronica Redbone, leader of Red Lotus...

05:47.800 --> 05:50.220
Yes, I'd like to join you.

05:52.140 --> 05:54.180
What an awful thing to do.

05:54.560 --> 05:59.690
The Winged Knights were a party 
with morals, which is rare in this business.

05:59.690 --> 06:03.230
They were a ticking time bomb.

06:03.230 --> 06:05.860
I just made them aware of it.

06:05.860 --> 06:08.650
What did you offer them to turn their heads?

06:09.360 --> 06:11.620
That I'd set them free.

06:12.030 --> 06:14.200
Same as me, then?

06:14.200 --> 06:18.330
I don't think he'll join you 
after what you just pulled, though.

06:18.330 --> 06:21.080
He will, make no mistake.

06:21.080 --> 06:23.790
I always get what I want.

06:25.050 --> 06:29.630
And I'll get you out of here 
and into my squad, too.

06:29.630 --> 06:31.260
You're wasting your time.

06:31.590 --> 06:35.760
Unfortunately for you, 
I'm as persistent as a snake.

06:38.390 --> 06:40.440
A snake, eh?

06:42.600 --> 06:43.900
Another round.

06:43.900 --> 06:47.110
You should go. You've had too much to drink.

06:47.480 --> 06:50.650
Keim, you're still young.

06:50.650 --> 06:53.320
There are plenty of paths you can take.

06:53.320 --> 06:54.700
Nah, there aren't.

06:55.700 --> 07:00.370
The feeling of stabbing Leon
still lingers in my hand.

07:03.380 --> 07:08.340
He was just trying to protect me. Our party.

07:08.840 --> 07:12.340
He made the right call
 under the circumstances.

07:12.840 --> 07:13.930
And yet, I...

07:15.760 --> 07:18.350
I was the real traitor!

07:19.480 --> 07:23.060
Look, you did something you can't take back,

07:23.420 --> 07:27.570
but drinking yourself to death 
isn't gonna solve anything.

07:29.400 --> 07:32.700
You have better things to do.

07:33.200 --> 07:34.740
Like what?

07:36.070 --> 07:38.240
Like setting Leon free.

07:40.000 --> 07:42.120
He's already free.

07:42.540 --> 07:44.880
The Winged Knights are done.

07:45.790 --> 07:50.590
That's not what I mean. 
He must be hurting just as much as you.

07:50.960 --> 07:54.050
He probably hates himself for not trusting you.

07:54.050 --> 07:56.010
He must be struggling,

07:56.350 --> 07:58.470
trapped in his own thoughts.

07:59.430 --> 08:01.930
So you've got to set him free.

08:02.390 --> 08:06.980
Make sure he can spread the wings
 that heaven gave him

08:07.940 --> 08:11.400
by cutting him free of the shackles
that bind him to the ground.

08:11.940 --> 08:15.360
You're the only one who can do that, Keim.

08:15.360 --> 08:17.870
He's your sworn brother, isn't he?

08:23.000 --> 08:26.040
Congrats on your party disbanding!

08:26.430 --> 08:30.500
How I've waited to get you alone like this!

08:30.840 --> 08:34.970
You're Edgar of War Eagle. Why...?

08:34.970 --> 08:40.600
"Why"? That's exactly what 
I hate about you, you pretender!

08:41.560 --> 08:47.020
"We don't murder people"? 
Talk about a high horse!

08:47.020 --> 08:52.730
Do you have any idea how much we've been 
ridiculed while you get showered with praise?

08:53.940 --> 08:59.160
Of course Mr. Squeaky-Clean 
Winged Knight has no clue!

09:00.530 --> 09:04.200
You've got nothing left! No party! No pride!

09:04.620 --> 09:07.500
You should just die here a loser!

09:13.550 --> 09:17.050
Looks like you're up to some fun, Edgar.

09:17.840 --> 09:20.350
Let us in on it.

09:21.050 --> 09:24.060
The <b>Snake </b>Has <b>Wings</b>

09:26.590 --> 09:28.560
What are you guys doing here?!

09:28.900 --> 09:31.080
Just taking a walk, right?

09:31.080 --> 09:32.440
Walky-walk.

09:32.440 --> 09:33.320
Aye, a walk.

09:33.320 --> 09:37.700
Yeah, right! Quit your bullshit 
and walk your asses outta here!

09:37.700 --> 09:39.320
Who do you think you're bossing around?

09:39.640 --> 09:40.280
Huh?

09:40.280 --> 09:43.290
Know your place, you lowly scum.

09:43.730 --> 09:47.750
I don't like your tone. 
I don't like it one bit.

09:48.080 --> 09:50.250
Me, lowly scum?

09:51.340 --> 09:54.170
Don't think you're getting away with that!

09:54.170 --> 09:56.260
Get 'em, guys!

09:56.260 --> 09:58.050
A-Are you kidding?

09:58.050 --> 10:00.890
They beat the Winged Knights, y'know?

10:04.140 --> 10:05.970
Hey, get back here!

10:05.970 --> 10:08.640
My, my. Not very respected, are you,

10:08.640 --> 10:09.690
Edgar?

10:16.690 --> 10:18.150
Look at me.

10:19.740 --> 10:22.450
I said look at me!

10:22.450 --> 10:27.410
Remember this! Never give me attitude again!

10:27.410 --> 10:34.880
If you do, I'll make sure all your friends 
and family end up looking like you!

10:35.590 --> 10:38.550
Y-Y-You got it!

10:38.840 --> 10:40.970
Now go. There won't be a next time.

10:46.610 --> 10:50.170
Okay, Leon, let's talk business.

10:51.270 --> 10:53.190
Are you joking?!

10:53.560 --> 10:55.400
I'm not.

10:55.400 --> 10:59.360
If you join us,
 I'll make you our clan's submaster.

10:59.650 --> 11:01.470
Not a bad deal, right?

11:01.470 --> 11:03.490
Who would ever join you?!

11:03.490 --> 11:06.450
If it weren't for you guys... No, you, Noel.

11:07.270 --> 11:09.200
If it weren't for you...

11:09.200 --> 11:13.210
The Winged Knights could've won? 
Do you really believe that?

11:14.710 --> 11:20.920
Leon, the only reason you got to be the noble
and just leader of the Winged Knights

11:20.920 --> 11:24.050
is because of your party's 
hard work and sacrifice.

11:25.400 --> 11:31.480
But you're a prodigy. They'd never be your
 equals, no matter how hard they worked.

11:32.180 --> 11:36.360
As they pushed themselves harder, 
it sowed doubt in their minds.

11:36.360 --> 11:39.740
A party like that'll never last.

11:40.920 --> 11:47.620
I get it. We had no future 
regardless of what you did.

11:48.490 --> 11:55.960
But if I admit it, 
then all our work was for nothing.

11:57.290 --> 12:00.420
I couldn't take that!

12:01.010 --> 12:03.130
Are you going to stop fighting?

12:03.720 --> 12:05.390
What difference does it make?

12:06.350 --> 12:08.310
I'll never regain what I've lost.

12:08.310 --> 12:10.100
No, you will.

12:11.310 --> 12:16.310
Sure, the glory of the Winged Knights 
will soon be a thing of the past.

12:16.690 --> 12:18.900
In fact, the world is a cruel place.

12:18.900 --> 12:24.650
Only your tarnished legacy will remain,
and even that will be forgotten before long.

12:25.800 --> 12:30.790
But if you, their former leader, 
carve out a legacy for yourself as a Seeker,

12:30.790 --> 12:34.120
the Winged Knights' name 
will continue to live on.

12:34.620 --> 12:39.500
If I join you, I really will be a traitor.

12:39.500 --> 12:41.710
Think of yourself, Leon!

12:42.670 --> 12:44.930
Cast aside your superficial feelings.

12:45.380 --> 12:50.140
They won't help you or your friends.

12:50.720 --> 12:54.230
If you want to preserve what 
matters to you in the history books,

12:54.230 --> 12:56.600
you have to be prepared 
to cast everything else aside.

12:58.810 --> 13:02.610
Then why are you a Seeker, Noel?

13:03.570 --> 13:08.570
I want to show the world 
that I'm the strongest Seeker.

13:09.830 --> 13:12.870
Can I really trust you?

13:12.870 --> 13:16.290
If you're lying, I'll make you pay.

13:17.100 --> 13:18.500
That's a silly question.

13:26.720 --> 13:29.090
Hey, Gramps, this favorite of yours...

13:29.430 --> 13:31.600
Don't you think he plays a little too dirty?

13:31.970 --> 13:36.980
He took out his rivals, the Winged Knights,
and then snatched up their leader.

13:38.020 --> 13:43.820
But in doing so, he's strengthened his team.

13:44.070 --> 13:48.700
And Leon will now be able to show off 
his talents on a grander stage.

13:48.700 --> 13:50.960
I think your bias is clouding your judgment.

13:53.080 --> 13:57.120
Whether they make it or not 
from here is up to them.

13:57.120 --> 14:01.630
And I've given them a new mission 
to better judge for myself.

14:02.630 --> 14:04.340
Wait, you don't mean...

14:05.050 --> 14:10.550
A beast with an abyssal depth rating of 9 
has manifested in Quartz Valley.

14:10.550 --> 14:15.270
It is Garmr, the King of Wolves, known to 
control the dead—and they must take it out.

14:15.640 --> 14:17.730
S-Seriously?

14:18.940 --> 14:20.190
Look.

14:20.190 --> 14:21.940
It's Noel and Leon.

14:21.940 --> 14:24.400
So the rumors are true.

14:24.690 --> 14:27.150
Did Leon abandon his former party?

14:27.150 --> 14:30.740
Even the noble Knight looks out for 
number one when it comes down to it.

14:30.740 --> 14:32.410
What a letdown.

14:32.410 --> 14:33.910
I'm disappointed in him.

14:35.200 --> 14:37.330
Don't let it get to ya.

14:38.160 --> 14:40.790
Bad publicity is still publicity.

14:40.790 --> 14:45.170
Don't worry. Once you
 produce results, they'll flip.

14:45.170 --> 14:46.550
Noel Stollen!

14:47.760 --> 14:49.420
You fiend!

14:49.720 --> 14:52.180
You ruined everything for us!

14:52.640 --> 14:54.350
I'll kill you!

14:54.350 --> 14:55.810
Don't, Keim!

14:56.150 --> 15:00.140
What good will that do? 
You won't get away with it, either!

15:00.140 --> 15:01.770
Shut up, you traitor!

15:01.770 --> 15:06.980
Yeah, I'm a traitor. 
So I won't let you kill Noel!

15:06.980 --> 15:08.820
They're really gonna fight.

15:08.820 --> 15:11.450
The guy with the black hair
was his friend, right?

15:11.740 --> 15:13.370
In that case...

15:13.370 --> 15:16.120
In that case, I'll kill you first!

15:27.920 --> 15:29.590
Whoa, he one-shot him!

15:29.970 --> 15:32.840
Leon of the Celestial Wings
 really is a cut above.

15:32.840 --> 15:34.800
He didn't even draw his sword.

15:36.100 --> 15:37.560
I won't make excuses.

15:38.890 --> 15:40.980
I'm going to walk my own path.

15:43.980 --> 15:46.150
Good luck, Leon.

15:49.990 --> 15:51.070
Don't look back!

15:51.570 --> 15:53.320
Don't look back, Leon.

15:54.030 --> 15:56.200
Leave your brother a shred of dignity.

15:58.160 --> 16:00.200
We're leaving. That's an order.

16:01.620 --> 16:04.000
Got it. Let's go, Master.

16:04.500 --> 16:05.790
<i>That's it.</i>

16:06.540 --> 16:09.090
<i>Keep going and never look back, Leon.</i>

16:10.880 --> 16:15.390
<i>Fly as high as you can 
with those wings of yours.</i>

16:22.330 --> 16:25.150
This will be our clanhouse.

16:25.900 --> 16:29.860
And all it cost was 20 million fil. 
Good deal, right?

16:30.280 --> 16:31.740
Twenty million?!

16:31.740 --> 16:32.900
No way!

16:32.900 --> 16:34.150
Yer kiddin'!

16:34.150 --> 16:39.450
I remember now... 
This used to be an execution site.

16:39.720 --> 16:46.670
Yep, it's a haunted place that's 
brought bad luck to any and all tenants.

16:46.670 --> 16:48.420
That's why it came so cheap.

16:49.400 --> 16:52.130
Relax. I have this now.

16:52.630 --> 16:55.680
It's a skill guide for Exorcism.

16:56.180 --> 17:01.350
I can instantly destroy any undead 
that aren't stronger than me.

17:01.350 --> 17:03.350
Human ghosts will be a piece of cake.

17:04.810 --> 17:08.310
Okay, and that's the end of that discussion.

17:09.360 --> 17:11.780
I want to give you all this.

17:14.070 --> 17:16.530
A snake with wings?

17:16.530 --> 17:18.110
Why a snake?

17:19.030 --> 17:23.950
Since ancient times, the snake has been 
a symbol of prosperity and immortality.

17:23.950 --> 17:29.070
But they're also feared as 
evil beings and deceivers of men.

17:29.960 --> 17:32.840
I think that contrast fits us perfectly.

17:33.510 --> 17:36.970
Good and evil, light and dark.

17:36.970 --> 17:41.510
We'll use all our differing 
attributes to make it to the top.

17:42.220 --> 17:47.980
Our clan has been approved, 
and this will be our new name.

17:48.350 --> 17:52.140
We are Wild Tempest.

18:05.080 --> 18:08.040
I knew it could resummon its kin, but...

18:08.040 --> 18:11.790
Even using Exorcism, there's no end to them!

18:13.290 --> 18:14.750
What now, Noel?

18:14.750 --> 18:17.630
He's avoiding my attacks easily.

18:17.630 --> 18:22.010
Garmr is an intelligent beast. 
It's waiting for us to wear ourselves out.

18:22.010 --> 18:23.350
If this keeps up...

18:23.720 --> 18:25.680
Alma and Koga, support Leon.

18:25.680 --> 18:28.690
Leon, prepare to fire Seraphim Blade!

18:28.690 --> 18:29.810
No, Master!

18:29.810 --> 18:30.770
If I use that...

18:30.770 --> 18:32.900
Just do it! That's an order!

18:34.230 --> 18:35.730
Crazy Cherry Blossoms!

18:37.190 --> 18:38.400
Perfect Throw!

18:39.400 --> 18:40.740
Exorcism!

18:43.530 --> 18:44.910
Now! Fire!

18:44.910 --> 18:47.620
Seraphim Blade!

19:08.980 --> 19:11.560
Is this it?

19:11.890 --> 19:13.770
Sorry, Noel.

19:13.770 --> 19:16.610
I'm done too...

19:28.830 --> 19:32.170
That was pretty fun.

19:32.500 --> 19:35.000
Should be 146 seconds.

19:35.000 --> 19:38.960
Humans, be my food.

19:38.960 --> 19:39.800
Wait!

19:40.720 --> 19:45.930
I'll admit defeat. But there's only 
so much you can gain by eating me.

19:47.680 --> 19:49.770
Let's make a deal instead.

19:49.770 --> 19:51.520
A deal?

19:52.230 --> 19:55.310
If you let us go, I'll give you 
some useful information.

19:55.770 --> 19:59.980
Information that I promise 
will prove pertinent to you.

19:59.980 --> 20:01.990
What is that you have there?

20:02.780 --> 20:08.080
This is a tool that sprays 
the liquid it holds inside as a mist.

20:08.700 --> 20:13.000
Hmph. How is that useful?

20:13.000 --> 20:17.920
Oh, but it is. Aren't you 
feeling the effects yourself?

20:19.880 --> 20:22.090
What did you...

20:22.090 --> 20:26.090
Don't move too much. The poison will circulate.

20:26.090 --> 20:28.300
Poison... you say?

20:28.300 --> 20:29.970
Blood Poison.

20:30.810 --> 20:34.480
A poison made from my blood.

20:34.480 --> 20:39.270
It has no taste or smell, and inhaling it 
paralyzes you within minutes.

20:39.940 --> 20:44.110
It's the ultimate weapon, 
and it works solely on beasts.

20:44.110 --> 20:48.240
As if one spray of poison could take me...

20:49.490 --> 20:53.040
Of course not.
 Which is why we pretended to flee

20:53.040 --> 20:57.250
and lured you to this place,
which we filled with poison in advance.

20:57.250 --> 21:01.340
It was all an act?

21:01.340 --> 21:04.720
Not all of it! My bones actually are broken!

21:04.720 --> 21:05.510
Ow, ow, ow...

21:05.510 --> 21:09.300
Noel's a demon. He nearly used all of my blood.

21:09.300 --> 21:15.390
I thought he was crazy when he told us 
we'd need to be near death for this to work.

21:15.770 --> 21:17.690
<i>Another 42 seconds.</i>

21:18.860 --> 21:21.270
Skeleton knights!

21:21.570 --> 21:25.780
It's futile. You can't summon 
your kin in that state.

21:26.200 --> 21:29.620
The poison has spread through your body now.

21:29.620 --> 21:35.750
This is because you used up all 
your mana dealing with our little act.

21:35.750 --> 21:39.080
This is what you get 
for looking down on a Talker.

21:39.380 --> 21:42.630
Such cunning...

21:43.300 --> 21:46.510
Such courage!

21:51.390 --> 21:54.850
Impressive!

21:57.350 --> 21:59.850
Exactly 146 seconds.

22:00.400 --> 22:02.940
Battle complete.

22:05.940 --> 22:12.080
I confirm defeat of the target 
and purification of the Abyss.

22:13.200 --> 22:17.330
This will definitely boost your reputation.

22:18.040 --> 22:20.290
We're not satisfied with this.

22:20.710 --> 22:23.710
Our goal is much loftier.

22:24.250 --> 22:26.170
How much loftier?

22:26.510 --> 22:27.760
The regalia.

22:28.380 --> 22:32.640
Wild Tempest will become part 
of the regalia within the next six months.

22:33.430 --> 22:35.140
That's a bold claim.

22:35.140 --> 22:36.350
I told you before.

22:36.680 --> 22:39.770
I'm Noel Stollen, grandson of Overdeath,

22:40.350 --> 22:44.610
and I am the man who will be 
the strongest Seeker ever.

22:44.610 --> 22:46.230
Remember that.

22:47.740 --> 22:49.860
Hey, Noel!

22:49.860 --> 22:52.410
Can we go back to our inn?

22:52.410 --> 22:56.620
I'm beat. I wanna jump in a hot bath right now.

22:56.620 --> 22:59.080
Food first. I'm hungry.

22:59.080 --> 23:02.000
No way! Cleanin' up comes first!

23:02.000 --> 23:03.250
You call yourself a girl?

23:03.250 --> 23:05.670
Whoa, that was sexist!

23:07.090 --> 23:10.970
His mental strength and temperament...

23:12.180 --> 23:15.430
Reminds me of someone.

23:16.100 --> 23:22.060
<i>How will a Talker like me, the weakest class
of all, become the strongest Seeker?</i>

23:22.690 --> 23:24.560
<i>That's obvious.</i>

23:25.820 --> 23:29.030
<i>I'll run the world's greatest clan.</i>

23:30.530 --> 23:32.780
<i>And that'll be that.</i>
