04x09 - The Second World-Seeing Tower

[bunniefuu]

Istersiva signed a covenant

with Childman Powderfield.

Our goal is to stop
the destruction of the world.

To honor his mother's last wish,

as well as the Istersiva Covenant,

Childman started grooming his successor.

SORCEROUS STABBER ORPHEN:
DOOM OF DRAGON'S SANCTUARY

SECOND WORLD TATUM

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

The Sanctuary is going
to abandon this continent too.

Within ten days,

before the goddess breaches the barrier.

The Sanctuary
is just going to save its own neck.

We can't let the Sanctuary
go through with that plan.

But...

Anyway, is keeping
the number of casualties

to a minimum

between us and the Sanctuary
the only thing I can do now?

Orphen.

Well.

Leki says it will be an obstacle up ahead.

We need to be careful.

Okay. I'll warn the others.

Isabella.

I once

had the dream of becoming
an independent sorcerer

like Orphen.

All of you here

are the most powerful
Black Sorcerers on this continent, right?

But no matter how I look at it...

Yes. We are miserable.

What's wrong, Krylancelo?

Leki is on alert.

It warns us about an obstacle ahead.

Are you okay?

Not at all.

What happened?

That's what I want to ask.

Why were we suddenly blown away?

A barrier?

If it's something that can negate
the power of the Deep Dragon,

it must be the Fairy Dragons.

It's the Fae Magic.

Fae Magic?

Does it mean that we can't enter?

No. Leki said
that it would just be an obstacle.

I'm sure there's a way.

A way to breach the barrier.

You...

How did you teleport straight into here?

Through the power
of Childman Powderfield's covenant.

Do you mean the Istersiva Covenant?

What's the purpose of Aureole's
last words that you brought us?

Before telling you that, I want to know

why is the Sanctuary of the Dragon Clan

under the control of humans like you.

That question is rude!

Now,

how many dragons are left
in the Sanctuary?

None.

The Deep Dragons put the covenant
before the Sanctuary.

The w*r Dragons are sleeping like cowards
in the autonomous region of the dwarves.

The Fairy Dragons
are like walking corpses.

Same with the Mist Dragons!

And the Red Dragons only obey us

because they have nothing else to do.

So, it means

that with the power of the Sanctuary now,

there's no way for you
to fight against the goddess.

You are talking as if it has
nothing to do with you, Mara Witch.

It's your fault for poking your nose
into the Kimluck incident unnecessarily.

It broke the balance
between Aureole and the goddess

and it led to the destruction
that we are facing now, right?

It was not unnecessary.

It was unnecessary.

Everything was unnecessary.

Let me answer your question, then.

Why are we, the humans,
controlling the Sanctuary?

Because the Celestials were annihilated.

Although they tried to stop
the total annihilation of their race,

they failed in every attempt

to resurrect themselves,
modify their bodies and

create more of them.

In the end, the only ones
who can manage the Sanctuary

are us who were brought
into the Sanctuary as labor workers.

That role has been passed down
for generations.

Now, we can't leave the barrier anymore.

If the primordial magic users
in the Elmanka Mausoleum die,

the magic core of the Celestials
will be destroyed too.

We have to summon
the Demon King before that.

Summoning the Demon King is pointless,

Mara Witch.

It's just the last delusion
of the Celestials.

But it's worth a try, right?

For your own survival?

Unfortunately, we don't have a summoner

who can control the Second World Tatum.

We tried to create
a summoner artificially,

a superhuman with the best qualities
from all the elites in the Network.

But that person was taken away.

We have the Lord of the Closest Domain.

We are not interested in him.

We've answered your questions.

Now, it's your turn.

Can the covenant that breached the barrier

open the gate of the Elmanka Mausoleum?

A specter? How is it possible?

It sounds like a lie, right?

But it's true.

I was threatened by a vicious, heartless,

cruel and devilish specter.

Before I know it, I'm here.

She has always been like that, though.

She always gets in my way when I want
to go on a date just because it's fun.

She sounds interesting.

Sorry for the wait.

How did you

get him to open up
in less than five minutes?

Because she's a beautiful lady.

That's painful!

Why did you kick me?

I told you, right?

She's not a person.

She's an artificial being who was created

by the Sanctuary for a purpose.

She can predict the future,

deceive the Network,

and control the people or living things
around her to her advantage.

-She's a dangerous being.
-What's wrong with being controlled?

She's a beautiful lady.

You are an idiot.

Wait.

I want to seize control
of the Sanctuary while the priests

are distracted by Leticia.

Then, I need to get my weapon ready.

You already have your weapon, right?

I need something better.

When the Thirteen Apostles
reach the Sanctuary,

we may have to fight against them.

Pluto will be a tough opponent.

We need to be well-prepared
to ensure our victory.

Will Krylancelo be with them?

You don't plan to help me, right?

Yes.

I'm sorry. But I'll take a neutral stance.

I knew you would say that.

Can you

go to this place for me, then?

That's a long note.

I asked Lottecia to look it up for me.

You asked her to look it up for you?

I don't understand why a beautiful lady
like her would marry you.

That's unfair.

It was not a valid marriage.

Because my identity was forged.

Isn't that marriage fraud?

Her identity was forged too.

Really?

But you married her because
you liked her, right?

I was manipulated to do so.

Really?

You'll never do something
against your will, right?

The fate that attracts each other!

Is it impossible for us to enter?

An ambush!

Darn it.

Tiptoe.

As long as I chant that,

I can walk without making any sound.
I'm amazing.

Now, what's next? Let me see.

At this time,

the priests have to work
on the maintenance

of tunnel 230 to tunnel 256.

So, this area will not
be under surveillance.

Five, three, nine.

Is this the place?

There are two areas that are under
constant surveillance of the priests.

One of them is the Elmanka Mausoleum.

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

I plan to remain neutral.

I'm just doing this for old-time's sake.

Hello.

Are you one of the intruders?

Are you the priests?

That's right.

We are the priests
who serve the Sanctuary.

How did you get here?

I don't know. I got lost.

I'm going to arrest you.

If there's an intruder there,

the priests may panic

and not pay attention
to the surveillance in another area.

I need to use that chance
to take over that place.

Watch me leap, Silver Ridge in the Sky!

I unsheathe thee, Sword...

She disappeared?

Orphen!

I unsheathe thee...

Isabella!

I'll leave Majic to you!

Understood!

I build thee, Tower of the Sun!

With Leki's power,

it doesn't need us.

But it keeps protecting us.

I'm sure Leki needs us for a reason.

What is Leki planning?

Krylancelo and the Thirteen Apostles
are still blocked off

by the barrier of the Fae Magic.

Since you know what it takes
to enter the barrier,

you can just tell them about it.

This situation is necessary

to get the priests' attention.

It's almost time

for the invasion.

No matter
how I think about it, it's crazy.

The Sanctuary is going
to give up the whole continent

to save itself.

That's too selfish.

I understand why they want to do this.

What do you mean?

For them,

it doesn't matter
if they can survive or not.

They are locked inside the Sanctuary

while working so hard
on maintaining the barrier.

Whereas the people outside know nothing

and live their lives however they want it.

I won't even be surprised
if the priests think that

the people have it coming.

But how can they do
something so despicable?

You'll know if you turn into a monster.

I only started to regret k*lling

our teacher and companions

after I turned back into human.

That's more despicable, right?

It's the easiest to regret everything
when it's too late

to change anything.

I'm done talking to you.
Go away.

I see.

Krylancelo hasn't even taught you
physical combat yet.

So, you've only learned
how to control your magic?

Yes. But it's because I...

The melancholy of the magic users.

This is what we say to refer
to the magic users

who have run into a bottleneck.

Everyone goes through this.

The same goes for me and Krylancelo.

In the end, you'll realize

that no matter how hard you try,
you can't really make a difference.

Does it mean that we have to be content
with what we can do now?

No.

It means that you can't make a difference
just because you've tried hard.

You have to persevere

in order to reach the place
that you want to be one day.

Isabella.

Have you reached the place
that you want to be?

I'm not where I want to be.

But when I think about my companions
who have passed away,

I should be proud of where I stand today.

Please.

I hope that you can teach me something

before we reach our destination!

I can't protect anyone now.

I had to be protected in the last ambush.

So, I hope that you can teach me
the technique to take down an opponent

when it's necessary.

Sure.

But I don't plan to accept
such a troublesome disciple like you.

I can only teach you
some of the techniques I know.

It'll be up to you on how to use them.

Okay.

And let me be clear with you.

I can't be as gentle as Krylancelo

when I'm teaching you.

We can reach the Sanctuary
without harming it?

That's vague.

Explain it to me.

I'm thinking about
what Leki's intention is.

Leki will take us to the Sanctuary.

But it can't communicate with others.

So, it needs someone to negotiate
with the Sanctuary on behalf of mankind.

We have the Lord
from the Aristocrat Alliance.

And the representative
of Sorcerous Alliance...

That'll be me, the councillor.

If we can use the facility
in the Sanctuary,

we can carry out the Lord's plan.

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

to push the approaching goddess out.

If it works,

we can even drive off the goddess
without having to shrink down

the Elmanka barrier.

The rogue Demon King?

Are we sure that the Demon King
can defeat the goddess?

No.

We don't even know who the Demon King is

or what power he possesses.

Even if he can k*ll the goddess,

how are we going to survive
against the Demon King?

The Lord knows the risk of this plan.

But there's nothing on this continent
that can defeat the goddess now.

Unfortunately,
this is the best plan that we have.

We should ask those who are unwilling
to be here to return to the royal capital.

I'll discuss it with them.

Thank you.

The successor with the spine of steel?

I'll acknowledge you.

If Childman Powderfield was still alive,

he would be on your side.

Why do you look so exhausted,
Black Sorcerer?

You don't have to pay me back

the money I lent you.

Go back to the royal capital
with the Thirteen Apostles.

Why aren't you reacting to my statements?

Why?

I thought that it was impossible
even if the world was destroyed.

The world is going to be destroyed.

What?

Orphen.

What is it?

Nothing.

I just want to talk to you.

Only five days left?

Yes.

I've been thinking a lot lately.

As if you weren't
thinking a lot before this.

Maybe because I didn't
think enough before this.

Really? I don't think so.

What are you thinking now, Orphen?

I guess I'm thinking about how to cross

this barrier formed with Fae Magic.

Are you thinking about how to cross it

or are you confirming
that we can't cross it?

I think this is what it means
when you think about something.

Claiomh, what's wrong?

Nothing. I'm sorry.

You have a lot of things
to worry about, right?

I'll talk to you about it again
when things have settled down.

What is despair?

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

Is there only despair here?

That's not true.

We still have five days.

I want to go back.

We should just
let the world get destroyed.

We have only five days left.

There is nothing left that I fear losing

to this calamity.

Krylancelo will reach the Sanctuary soon.

Hang in there.

I'm sure he's sick of this already.

Is that so?

Krylancelo is the one
who chose to walk on this path.

Same with Heartia and Colgon.

Let's go.

As long we can keep
the priests distracted,

we can lighten the burden on everyone.

FIVE MORE DAYS UNTIL THE CATASTROPHE

You are not powerful enough
to protect everything.

I'm not trying to protect everything.

I'm just a sorcerer.

THE AMBITION OF THE NIGHT VISITOR
