01x12 - The Jack-of-All-Trades Protects His Comrades

[bunniefuu]

It's taken heavy damage,
but it'll still take time to defeat it.

This is...

It regenerated?!

I didn't know it could
be used like that...

This can't be happening...

Tell me this is a lie...

We're back to square one...

At a time like this...!

CHAPTER 12: THE JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES
PROTECTS HIS COMRADES

Get a grip, Sophie!

Carol has self-healing abilities.
She'll be fine.

But...

If it were Master, he'd never give up
no matter how hopeless the situation was.

He taught us that the most important thing

for an explorer is to make
it back alive, didn't he?

We're his disciples!

Yeah! We'll make it back alive
no matter what!

Vitality Up!

Resist Up! Magic Up!

Thunder Arrow!

No way...

Run, Sophie!

Like I'll let you!

That's a trap Master taught us!
Your movements are easy to read!

Log!

Don't get c*ck, you little punk.

If you'd lived, you might've
gotten a little stronger,

but your luck is so bad.

What do I do?
At this rate Log's going to be k*lled...

What should I do...?

Weren't you planning to use us as bait...?

Just k*lling one is enough.

That's what he says.

See ya!

Nooo!

W-What... my body won't move...!

Hey, what's wrong with you?

I get it now.

The source of that strange
feeling I've had all this time...

This is my superpower!

Blow away!

Heal!

Pull yourself together!

You saved me.
What was that just now?

That's my superpower.

You damn brats!

I won't let you get away with this!

What are you doing, Gibeah?

Shion's in a bad mood,
so just hurry up and k*ll them.

I'm not in a bad mood.

I'm just wondering why
this is taking so long.

I'll k*ll them right now, just wait!

Sophie, let's unleash all
the magic we've got into them!

Yeah!

We'll do whatever it takes to survive!

And then I'll meet my
sister and Orun again!

What are those numbers?!

Unbelievable...

So it's getting serious too.

It's still unfinished,

but this isn't the time to hold back!

Alteration!

First Form,

Mont Eins!

Heavenly Flash!

So that's the new spell
Orun was talking about?

What overwhelming power...

Did he get it?!

No way! Again?!

At this rate, we'll never finish this!

To defeat it,

we have to take it down in a single blow
before it has a chance to regenerate.

Magic Barrier! Maximum density!

Boss!

Fourth Form,

Mont Vier!

I won't let down everyone's feelings!

Impressive, Orun...

Boss!
- Selma!

Take this!

Run, Sophie...

Log!

Hmph, that was nothing.

You're giving me a hard time.
Are you a superpower user?

I'm going to finish you off right here
before this gets out of hand.

No... I'm at my limit...

It is what it is, huh...

Our mission is to nip
promising buds in the bud.

We should k*ll them.

Just hurry up and finish her.

I'm scared... I don't want this...
I don't want to die...

Help me, big sis...

Save us, Orun...!

Orun...

Sorry I'm late.

You all did well.
Good job.

Space Leap.

Master...

It's okay now.

I'll take care of the rest.

Just wait a moment.
I'll finish this right away.

You seem angry.

Well, of course I am.

I'm angry at you and at myself.

I swore I'd protect them...

And my own carelessness that failed
to prevent this makes me furious!

Why did you hurt them?

So you're the Dragon Slayer, huh...

Yeah, I can feel it.

Answer me!

It's because they're connected
to the Dragon Slayer.

I figured they'd make
good bait to reel you in,

and I'm glad you took it.

You've got to be kidding me...

I won't let you get away with this!

I'll make you suffer worse than death,
so brace yourself!

Now that sounds interesting.

I'll be taking the Dragon Slayer's head.

We, the Amuntzaas,

are specialists in hand-to-hand combat.

And it's three against one.
You have no chance.

Is that so?

Everyone, get back!

Too late!

Weight Up!

So heavy...!

I can't move...!

Earth Shock!

You blocked that hit
with that slender body?!

You took down those three
so easily more than I expected.

It's almost a waste to k*ll you.

Blizzard? That casting speed
for that special-class spell?!

Even Master is being pushed back...

No way...

Orun, hang in there!

Something's off...
She cast the spells too fast.

Firing off high-tier
spells this quickly...

It's almost as if she's skipping
the steps in between.

What on earth is going on?

You're pretty good at dodging my attacks
without a scratch, Dragon Slayer.

You're strong yourself. It's a waste for
someone like you to be with the Amuntzaas.

We'd have loved to have someone
as skilled as you join us.

I'm not helping murderers.

Looking at you reminds me
of someone I knew.

He died when he was a child,

but if he'd lived to grow up,
he might've turned out like you.

Why are you k*lling explorers?!

I don't want to k*ll people either.

But the original was defeated,

and the replica fell into enemy hands.

Buying time is our last faint hope.

What are you even talking about?

You wouldn't understand.

I don't even want to.

Those are just ramblings from t*rrorists.

Indiscriminate k*lling as "buying time"?

If that's all you've got,
just give up already.

Shut your mouth, you pest!

It's people like you who are bringing
the world closer to destruction!

I've had enough.

Explode?! She constructed
that many in an instant?!

That was fun, but it's my win.

There's no way you can survive
from those Explode.

Sorry, but this is also for
the sake of saving the world.

Your death won't be in vai—

He turned his sword into a shield?!

Master!

Zero Form, Mont Null!

The moment I was aiming for was
when you were certain you'd won.

Nicely done.

I won't let you escape!

This mana... Could it be...

Orun?

What is this? This girl...

What is this? What's going on?

Nah, I already know the answer.

This has to be the doing of that senile
old fool and that wretched woman!

Don't mess with me! How long
are they going to toy with people?!

Who...

Who are you...?

Let's stop, Orun.
I have no intention of fighting anymore.

I can't fight you.

Will you let me go?
I'll have the others withdraw too.

What are you suddenly saying?!
And why are you acting so familiar?

Do you know me?
None of this makes sense!

You'll figure it out someday.

I'm out of mana..

They've already recovered...

If the others join in too...

Orun, you okay?!

What about Sophia?!

I guess it's time.

We're withdrawing from
the Southern Great Dungeon.

It's a promise between me and you, Orun.

If this turns into a chaotic battle
involving Selma and the others,

we won't come out unscathed either.

If they're willing to pull back,
we couldn't ask for a better outcome.

Thank you.

I hope that the next time we meet,
we don't have to k*ll each other.

See you later, Orun.

Sophia!

Thank goodness!

Big sis, you're hugging me tight.

Orun.

Thank you very much.
You saved my life again.

No, I should be the one apologizing
for putting you in danger.

What are you talking about?

It's thanks to you that my sister
and the others are safe.

Yeah! If Master hadn't come,
everyone's smiles would've disappeared!

Thank you!

By the way, Master.
Did you know that woman?

No... I don't.

He's alive! Orun is alive!

I've dreamed of this day so many times,
only to be betrayed again and again.

But he had become an explorer.

When we finally meet, we're enemies.
The hunter and the hunted.

Those eyes... Why does Orun
have to look at me like that?

Why?!

Is it not enough that you
took our homeland, our past,

and the time we were supposed
to share together?!

I will never forgive that woman!

I'll hunt her down to the ends of hell
and make her regret ever being born!

Even if she wishes for death,
I won't let her die,

and I'll drag her down into a depth
of despair she's never even known!

What's the difference
between him and me?

What can he do that I can't...

What is it?!

You're working hard, Oliver.

Philly...

Is this training to
defeat the Black Dragon?

Or is this for him?

It's because I'm pathetic.

Defeating the Black Dragon alone

is truly a feat no one
has ever accomplished.

People calling it the birth of a new hero.

I see...

Oh right, there's a martial arts
tournament coming up soon.

I'll defeat Orun with my own hands.

I'll prove that I'm the true hero!

As expected of you, Oliver.

I'm looking forward to it.

Orun defeated the Black Dragon alone?

Impossible! It shouldn't be possible!

And yet, it's a fact!

If that's true, then he must have gained
the power to defeat it somehow.

Just how insane is he?! This is hilarious!

A man who would never choose to hunt

ends up taking down a deep floor boss and
might even conquer the Great Dungeon?

Well, talking about irony.

To think he'd end up working for my sake.

Well then, keep going and
become my savior, Orun Dura!

If you do, I'll graciously forget everything
you've done to me in the past!

Keep dancing, Orun!

Keep dancing until your life burns out
without ever waking from that dream.

Let every last one of them
dance madly for my sake!

That was unfortunate the other day.

None of you are satisfied
with how that battle ended,

and you've all realized
your own lack of strength.

Myself included.

But you saved us, Master.

If you hadn't come,
we would've been doomed.

That's right.
It's thanks to you that we're alive.

In the end, yes.

It was a close call.

If the fight had continued,
we all would've died,

and Selma and the others would've
been caught up in it too.

Even my sister...

That's how strong they were.

Especially that woman.

It really made me realize there's always
someone stronger out there.

At this rate, I can't protect
what I want to protect.

I need to become much, much stronger.

We tasted defeat,

but we're all still alive.

Even if we fail, we can start over
as many times as it takes.

So that we'll never have
to regret it again.

Yes!

Alright, let's go!
