THE TOWER OF FANGS

AZALIE
Don't look at me.

But he still looked at her.
KRYLANCELO

Because of the shock, he couldn't move.

He just stood there, looking at her.

Don't look at me. I'm begging you.

Azalie, are you crying?

Please, just get out, Krylancelo!

Where's the master?

Stop asking! Just get out of here!

Azalie! Your hands...

What happened?

The sword.

I exist as both
the beginning and as the end.

Much like the monster named Time itself.
CHILDMAN

The Soon-Another...

The experiment has failed.

LETICIA

FORTE

Master!

COMICRON
HEARTIA

What's that?

That is...

Thunder!

Stop!

I unsheathe thee, Sword of Light!

Krylancelo.

Azalie.

Azalie.

Azalie.

I keep searching in the dark

It will take your place

Come on

The world hasn't known

Giving my everything

It's not over

It's not over
The journey never ends

Destiny

Never regret
Go forward with determination

Resonance of Faith
Let's complete the great journey

Remember when you were
Attracted to this sound

All our memories go with the wind

Catch up! Never give up!

Don't cry, follow the way of the sun

Keep moving forward
Keep on shining

Go with the wind, and fly away

Don't you wanna fly?

In your heart (right here, right now)

Don't be scared
(taking you to another world)

Find your own way

Destiny is calling you. Go!

We Go! We Go! We Go! Go!

Get up! Stand up!

Find out just the way you are!

SORCEROUS STABBER ORPHEN

About 1000 years ago, Kiesalhima Continent

was the home of the Dwarfs.

But the Dragons appeared
and forced them to a corner of the continent.

The Dragons and the Dwarfs
created the "Sorcerers".

A Vestige of the Past

THE TOWER OF FANGS - 5 YEARS LATER

WEST OF THE CONTINENT - TOTOKANTA
Stop. Don't run!

Stop right there!

I flip thee, Hail of Glass!

Are you kidding me?

I should be the one who's mad.

You should have paid me
the money three months ago.

All this time,
even a newborn can walk now.

Nonsense!

I'd never eat baby food.

I would eat baby food.

What does that have to do with anything?

Now give me the money you borrowed!

We? But the one borrowed it
was you, brother.

Dortin, you snitch!

How could you betray your flesh and blood?

Brother, fertilized eggs
generate blood on their own.

Not to mention brother, even mother, child
are not connected by flesh and blood.

Stop blabbering!
I don't care about all that!

Just pay me back the money!

I don't have money to pay you.

Stop blabbering! You loan shark sorcerer!

Say that again, you fat leopard cat!

Flow Thus! Angel Breath!

You two, give me my money back!

Consider yourselves unlucky
to meet me here.

Finally, I have found you.

Volkan, Dortin, the wandering criminals.

Wandering criminals?

You two committed crimes
in other places, too?

I have followed you here.

Royal Police Officer?

Run!

Don't even think about it!

Sorry.

Despicable!
I missed because you're too small.

Stop messing with the darts!

They are dangerous, and arresting them
is fun. What's wrong with that?

Arrests are not supposed to be dangerous.

You're one to talk, magic ab*ser!

Nonsense! I always know what I'm doing.

Those two.

Hey, the guy you hit

is still lying there, and can't move.

I put anesthetic on the darts.

Wait, can you cure him?

I repair thee, Scars of the Sunset.

Great!

Now I can forgive you.

You should thank me.

Who should thank whom?

However, you're not totally useless,
being a spiritless sorcerer.

Spiritless sorcerer?

Here you go, Orphen.

Thank you, Majic.

Orphen, I saw everything from the window.

You used magic on the Dwarfs.

You were amazing!

All I've ever met here are
fake sorcerers who don't know any magic,

and sorcerers who know a little magic,
but cheat and lie wherever they go.

Father, Orphen is not like those people.

I've been meaning to ask.

Is that the crest of the Black Sorcerer
from the Tower of Fangs?

That's right.

Does that mean you used to live
in the Tower of Fangs?

Yes.

To have studied in the forefront of
the Continental Black Sorcery,

you must be really good.

What? You want to be a sorcerer?

My mother has the blood of a sorcerer.

Then maybe you have the gift to be one.

You think?

I do see something special in you.

Then, would you mind teaching me?

About that...

As long as you pay me, no problem.

Hey hey, you still owe me the rent.
Don't you dare mess with my son!

A good sorcerer,
no matter how spiritless he is,

wouldn't become a loan shark.

By saying you are gifted,
he's setting a trap.

That hurts. I was not lying.

Then how could you know he's gifted?

Because not only he has
the blood of a sorcerer,

but also a pure and sincere enthusiasm.

Those are the conditions to be a sorcerer.

If you want to learn, don't ever give up.

However, I myself...

Welcome!

A customer. That's rare.

We have a business offer for you.

It's you two.

That police officer isn't here.

Okay. It's good. Come out.

Why would you want me
to do this kind of thing?

Don't you want your money back?

Do this job with us,

and you'll get 50% of the reward.

What's with that smug face?
You owe me money.

What about you? Can't even pay the rent.

That's because of you!

So, you want me
to dress like this for what?

You'll see.

How come this place's so quiet?

It's said there's something
in the village nearby.

What thing?

I don't know.

But because of it, people are afraid
to go out of their houses.

Whatever. Go faster!

Is this job really legit?

So, how's it going?

You made me wait that long. There must be
some news. You were to say that, yes?

How many times have I told you?
Don't go around reading people's minds.

I do that because I can.

And if you couldn't?

What you're thinking right now
is my answer.

I know.
I would become just like him and her.

Don't you know that if you
abuse your power, you will die?

Are you talking about us?

If so, does that mean
Sorcery shouldn't exist?

That's not it.

I understand training is important.

Training in this tower,
we've mentally prepared to die

in order to have greater mana,

not increase it.

But after all,
you've become more powerful.

Tissy, people even call you
Deadly Scream now.

Can you not say that name?

Two sorcerers privately showing off
to each other. That's shameful.

As long as it works,
showing off is important, Tissy.

Don't call me that either.

Then after five years,
what should I call her when we meet again?

That witch.

No, The Chaos Witch.

Wind!

That's scary!

It has to be defeated.

That's the order of the Tower's Elders.

Azalie.

Where are you heading?

Behind that mountain is Totokanta.

In Mebrenst,
everyone knows the name Burplewarts.

Burplewarts?

Mr. Warts, I know these ladies are beautiful.

But don't get too excited.
Your heart can't stand that.

If you're from Mebrenst,
then your family must be noble.

Noble?

Yes! That's for sure.

At the moment, he's running a company.

What kind of company?

Sleeping medicine.

Brother!

Why sleeping medicine?

For high-class women,
sleeping medicine is a necessity.

Please excuse us.

Mariabelle.

You useless sorcerer!
Why couldn't you improvise a little?

How could I?

You made me wear this borrowed suit,

took me to this huge mansion
without any explanation,

and called me Burplewarts.

I don't know anything about this.
My brother planned everything.

Of course.

How could Dortin think of
such a bold plan?

It's too bold!

Also, shouldn't we find a lonely lady who
doesn't know anything about the world?

If you become the son in law
of the Everlastings,

you'll have their money.

And then you and I, we can call it even.

You didn't think about
the consequences at all, did you?

Let go off me.

You're hurting me.

Madam. Miss.

Sorry!

It's alright. Please come in.

I forgot to knock.

But please don't think I'm impolite.

You are?

I'm Claiomh.

I'm the second daughter
of the Everlastings.

Nice to meet you.

I love when there are guests in the house.

Because they bring in
the air from outside.

I've never set foot outside Totokanta.

By the way, you three

are here for a sham marriage, right?

You lied to my sister, right?

How much do you want? Just tell me.

I stood behind the door
and listened to everything.

Since when?

Probably from the beginning.

Let me tell you. My mother and my sister
are discussing about calling the cops.

Also, they want to take some weapons
from the warehouse

and hit you fraudsters till you run away.

It wasn't me. I didn't plan this.

No, we are members of
The Continental Sorcerers' Association.

We're here to test
the public's alertness to fraud.

It's him. He's the one forced us here.

No, it's not.

We fight crimes every single day.

It's true.
This Black Sorcerer brain-washed me.

Shut up!

I'm trying my best to find
the best excuse, acting my heart out.

Stop heckling me every chance you get.

I get it. You guys work in showbiz. Right?

Come to people's houses to commit fraud,
then suddenly take out a board,

yelling "You've been tricked!". Right?

That's it, Miss.

It's 15 years in prison for fraud,
by the way.

I was tricked to come here.

Hey, are you really a sorcerer?

I am.

Also, I have the power of repair.

I repair thee, Scars of the Sunset.

Amazing!

Now that you mentioned it,
a sorcerer came to my house before.

Is that so?

That person came to see my father.

Probably because my father used to
provide financial aid to sorcerers.

My father got sick and died two years ago.

That's such a shame.

That person said he came from Tafflem.

He had a pendant on his chest.

The Tower of Fangs is in Tafflem.

They are all sorcerers there.

The sorcerer who came here,
what did he look like?

A sturdy man.

Black hair, tied up.

We've entered Totokanta.

Master.

Heartia.

Who's that?

He studied under Childman,

now is judicial clerk in Totokanta branch
of The Continental Sorcerers' Association.

When was that?

Before I started school,
so a long time ago.

But about 5 years ago,
there was someone else.

He brought something
important to my father.

That was...

That thing was...

Go!

Let's run!

Mr. Burplewarts.

I'm not Burplewarts. My name is Orphen.

Orphen? Are you an orphan?

Yes. I am.

Mother! Sister!

Hey, let's go, Black Sorcerer!

I'm sacrificing myself, again!

I request thine invitation,
Untrodden Gate.

Mother! Sister!

Azalie!

It's...

It's me!

I've been looking for you.

Azalie!

Azalie!

That sword...

Over here!

Stop!

Who are you?

Unsheathe!

I unsheathe thee, Sword of Light!

If I ask you "Do you believe in destiny?"

How would you answer my question?

Although we can't believe in appearance

Sometimes there's a surprise

It always begins suddenly

All is prepared
Let's go out today

Look up at the sky

Find a light that shocks the soul

Even when you can't hear my voice

Just keep calling my name around me

My tears will become magic

Go across the horizon
Where we can't go back

The unknown tomorrow is waiting for us

Only your damn magic
can defeat that monster!

That is not a monster.

If you keep blabbering,
I'll k*ll you with an ear scoop!
