04x08 - Ayrmankar Barrier

[bunniefuu]

That was frustrating.

SORCEROUS STABBER ORPHEN:
DOOM OF DRAGON'S SANCTUARY

ELMANKA BARRIER

That was frustrating.

You could've k*lled me with the sword.

Were you going easy on me?

That wasn't my plan.

Orphen.

It seemed like you were
going easy on him today.

That was not true.

I didn't do anything.

My goodness, Brother!

This is real food!

Yes. Actually, I've already expected this.

As long as we work hard
as if we are going to die,

we'll eventually get rewarded.

But you managed to take down
those Red Dragons easily.

If Leki hadn't helped me, I would've died.

But it was four against one.

Is it that important
how much power one holds?

Most of the time,
a sorcerer chooses not to fight.

Because there are many things
that are even more important.

You can only say that
because you have the power.

Is that so?

Although I lost to Pluto,
he accepted my advice in the end.

Even if we are not strong enough,

as long as we can do what we are
supposed to do at the right time,

the rest is unnecessary.

What is unnecessary?

Isabella.

Long time no see, Krylancelo.

I'm in charge of taking care of you.

Is this child a sorcerer too?

Yes.

Here. This is the food tomorrow.

What about the girl over there?

Is that his sister? I don't think so.

Isabella.

About Irgitte...

I was already mentally prepared for it

when they decided to head
to the Closest Domain.

Not only for her but also
for the end of the Thirteen Apostles.

There were even some casualties
among the Numbers.

I'm the only one left
from Madam Maria's class.

If only we could reach you earlier...

In any case, you are not invincible.

And we are not that fragile.

But,

I still want to thank you.

Do you know

why the Thirteen Apostles are doing this?

My teacher has just warned me
not to breathe a word to you.

But what have you been doing up until now?

Claiomh, tell her about it.

I'm going to take a walk.

That treatment of yours took long enough.

Treatment? I was being interrogated.

You can control others, right?

You can just control
the Thirteen Apostles.

It takes time to do that.

Besides, they are of no use to me.

You lost the Closet Domain

because of that arrogance of yours, right?

Do you think

I'm the embodiment of evil?

Evil doesn't exist on this continent.

Because only despair exists
on this continent.

Looks like you really want
to become the guardian of humankind.

I was created for that purpose.

I think even Damian Rue who created me
didn't have this kind of ambition.

But I'm not capable enough.

You lost Colgon, Damian,

and the Closest Domain.

You even failed to control
the Deep Dragons.

Any other duties
that you haven't fulfilled?

Although I've lost a lot,

I have your help now.

I just need to enter the Sanctuary

and summon the Demon King.

We don't even know if
Demon King Swedenborge exists or not.

And do you think it'll help us
after we summon it?

Can you really summon it?

I'm sure we can build the bridge
when the time comes.

You know that too, right?

Doppel X.

After the death of Childman Powderfield,

who will be his successor?

No one knows.

What is despair?

There we go again.

Yes.

Everyone who's looking for answers
will come here eventually.

Why did the priest of Kimluck Church

sacrifice himself to attempt
the destruction of magic?

I think I can understand him now.

Why do I exist?

Why do humans and gods exist?

There's no salvation from gods
in this world

where gods actually exist.

The Dragon Clan has suffered despair
for thousands of years.

I want to live in a world
where gods don't exist.

I want to create a utopia where humans

are hopeful, independent and loving.

Is that so?

That world is not that different
from this one, right?

Are you talking about despair?

No.

I've just accepted
the truth of our reality.

I'm going to talk about
our current situation now.

Today, we have lost
more than half of our men.

That had never happened in recent years.

But I won't apologize for that

because when we made up our minds
to launch an attack on the Dragon Clan,

we already knew
that we were not their match.

Even so,

we have to fight the Sanctuary

for one reason only.

It's because we are
the only ones who can do that.

That's why we were summoned.

Who summoned you?

The White Sorcerers

saw through the plans of both

the Closest Domain and the Sanctuary.

Our plan was to k*ll Damian Rue.

But that has already been done.

Next, we'll have
to take down the Sanctuary.

But, we don't have enough power.

Let me tell you how
to fight the Sanctuary.

I hope you won't deceive us again
like how you did during the day.

It's simple.

We don't fight the Sanctuary.
We negotiate with them.

If we can do that...

If you vow not to go to w*r
with the Sanctuary,

Leki will bring us there.

Then?

Are we going to take it down
from the inside?

I think Leki will k*ll you if you do that.

No deal then.

We won't cooperate with
the Sanctuary and Doppel X

unless they give up on their plan.

What is the Sanctuary's plan?

Maria Huwon, explain it to him.

Okay.

What is the Sanctuary planning?

The goddess is not the only one
who will destroy our world.

The Sanctuary is going
to abandon this continent too

within 10 days.

The Sanctuary is going
to abandon the continent?

Before the goddess
breaks through the barrier.

Is this where my father lived in the past?

Was it me?

Did I control my father when I was young

and make him run away from here?

Do I want to come back to this place?

Ed is always lying,

but I can tell
when he's telling the truth.

So, the two of them
hated me and despised me.

I didn't know anything and thought
that I was loved by them.

I thought that I could love someone.

But, I was wrong.

What are you doing?

I'm not doing anything.

Any changes?

What about the Second World Tatum?

It has been confirmed
that it is with the priests.

But we need
a human sorcerer to activate it.

And we need a powerful White Sorcerer
or someone who's equally powerful

to do the summoning.

It won't work without those two factors.

Lottecia is not ready yet.

Her power hasn't awakened yet.

A powerful White Sorcerer?

We do have a suitable candidate.

No. What should I do?

I'm not confident
that she'll follow my orders.

Who are you talking about?

The one who took out Damian.

And she'll probably be the one

who will destroy the continent too.

I can only say that this is the worst.

What about the door that leads
to Elmanka's mausoleum?

None of our magical weapons
can make a dent in it.

Although we already know that,

there have been some changes.

I think the priests
need you there at once.

Me?

Do they think I'm a member of Doppel X?

Strictly speaking,

the paths to the Sanctuary
are not connected.

But, the ones in charge of this area
are the Santuary's priests.

So, you can only fight
when victory is certain.

Are you asking me to control my temper?

Am I hearing this from you?

I'm always calm.

And I've never complained
about not receiving

any useful information from you.

Aren't you complaining now?

I don't know

if you can call this a protest.

After all, I don't even know
if I'm normal or not.

You seem very normal to me.

Heartia?

What did you do to him?

Did you break our promise?

I didn't break our promise.

I don't have the time for that.

I will keep my promise.

Even if something goes wrong,

only you and I will die.

Heartia and Krylancelo will be fine.

I won't let you die.

Of course, I won't die too.

You have to pay for what you had done.

Otherwise,

it'll be too pitiful for our teacher.

Leticia!

This is the Sanctuary!

Are we standing in a place where humankind

has not set foot for the past 200 years?

Is it true that it has been 200 years?

You are early.

From now on, we'll have to do
as the priests say.

Although the Red Dragons
don't see eye-to-eye with the priests,

they still obey them.

Okay.

This room is a barrier.

If you don't follow the priests' orders,

you can't leave.

But you managed to leave.

Yes. Because we have the same goal.

The Sanctuary has already reached

the point of accepting help from humans

as long as the goal is the same.

Let me give them my reply then.

I've brought the key that can prevent
the doom of this continent.

The priest.

Weird Dragon, Nornir.

I thought you were destroyed.

After ages,

we are facing another catastrophe.

It's a surprise to see you here
at this moment.

We'll accept you,

as long as you can accept us too.

Accept the invitation of the Sanctuary!

Leticia!

I see.

You are indeed Yuis's peer.

You are quite vicious too.

This man is Jack Frisbee.

A member of Doppel X.

He's not your opponent.

Don't cause trouble here.

Although I don't know
how you brought this in,

I hope that you'll stop attacking us.

If you accidentally hurt our priests,
no one knows

what will happen to this Sanctuary.

Is this why Colgon follows your lead?

I'm here to negotiate

as the representative of humankind.

You?

What power do you hold as a mere teacher?

I'm here to negotiate so that the person
with the power can sit in this position.

The one with the right bestowed by
Aristocrat Alliance to negotiate with you,

the Lord of the Closest Domain.

Where is he?

He has been dragged into a battle.

But he's on his way here

with my peer, a sorcerer.

About the Sanctuary's current situation...

I know.

So, ask the priests to come out again.

I'm not a politician.

But, even I know that you don't have
the authority to give that order.

If that's the case,

do you want me to name another person
who has the authority to do so?

Doppel X.

The first Lord of the Closest Domain

who was later known as Doppel X.

And his last name

was Childman Powderfield.

The covenant with him
is still valid, right?

I'm here to fulfill the promise
as his successor.

Show yourself.

The priests of Aureole,
our primordial magic users!

I am the Mara Witch!

What is going on? Explain it to me.

I hear that this continent
will be destroyed

and that Krylancelo is going
to stop it from happening.

Where is Krylancelo?

He's not here.

We are not on the same side.

In the end, he doesn't like
my way of doing things.

I don't plan to help anyone either.

Krylancelo is not going
to help Azalie, either.

Is that a statement
after you got emotional?

Yes. That's right.

Whose fault is it that Comicron is dead?

If I had joined Azalie's raid,

our teacher and Comicron
wouldn't have died,

and Krylancelo might have
gone back at once.

Before sunrise tomorrow...

We'll start moving at four in the morning.

Although it's dangerous to move at night,

we can't change anything
by just waiting here.

Our target is the Sanctuary
where the Dragon Clan is.

We are going to face

the crisis that puts the existence
of our continent at stake!

Prepare yourselves.

Roger that.

Pluto believes that he can
save the world by himself.

Yes. What about you?

I can't do it.

Up until now,

I can't even save myself.

Majic is very disappointed in you.

He says that you have
no confidence in yourself

despite being the most
powerful sorcerer in the world.

I tried to save the world in Kimluck,

but everyone died.

I don't want anyone to die anymore.

That's too idealistic.

The reality is crashing down on us.

For me,

the most important thing
is to keep everyone alive.

I've heard from Madam Marie.

She says the Sanctuary
is abandoning the continent.

What's going on?

Exactly what she said.

The Sanctuary is going to abandon us all.

The Elmanka Barrier is getting smaller.

Is that true?

If the barrier is cracking
because it's too big,

everything will be better
if it gets smaller.

It's a given.

The issue is the area that'll be in it.

The Sanctuary has been plotting this.

Aureole has nowhere to go because
they lack the primordial magic users.

So, they've decided
to betray the continent.

Other than the mausoleum where
the primordial magic users are gathered,

they are going to give up
the whole continent.

Even the Doppel X will be abandoned too.

Although the Doppel X
knows that it's pointless,

they continue to gather their power

to go against the primordial magic users.

We can work together
with the Doppel X then.

That's impossible.

It's necessary for the barrier
to decrease in size.

The Doppel X wants to widen the barrier
until it can cover the Sanctuary.

And I want to use the Second World Tatum
to summon the Demon King

to push back the goddess
that has begun to show herself.

Then, I'll strengthen the barrier.

But summoning the Demon King...

It's very risky too.

The point is,
there are too many uncertainties.

Even if I succeed,

I may just add another
factor that'll lead us to our doom.

Besides that, we still have to consider
the political relationship after that.

To avoid being betrayed by the Sanctuary,

we have to make them submit to us

so that we can be in control of it.

I don't want the Thirteen Apostles
to sacrifice themselves anymore.

Both of us have the same goal

to stop them from going further, right?

Yes.

Let me give you some advice then.

If Pluto is dead,

the Thirteen Apostles will crumble too.

Even with the disappointments and despair,

we continue to live on!

Krylancelo.

Are you here to protect me?

Only if I'm capable of that.

I remember you.

It's rare to see a surviving opponent
appear before me after fighting with me.

Who are you?

I am me!

Don't move!

He k*lled Seek Marrisk

with just a punch.

When it comes to powerful magic users,

only I can stop them.

Watch me leap,

Silver Ridge in the Sky!

Krylancelo, can you defeat him?

Krylancelo.

I know only one sorcerer
who's as powerful as you.

But you are different from that man.

You have the same attributes,
but you are totally different.

Looks like your right hand is broken.

Go back to the Sanctuary!

They sent you to assassinate us

even after my complete victory yesterday.

You are showing us how desperate you are.

I agree.

The Sanctuary is falling apart,

just like this continent.

This is not a huge issue.

I just want to experience
Ryan Spoon's despair

as someone who's full of despair.

Let me be clear. I'm not helping Colgon.

I plan to remain neutral.

I'm just doing this

for old-time's sake.

SECOND WORLD TATUM
