Title,: The Corruption of Qliphoth

This show contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing.​ Viewer discretion ​is ​advised.

I: You're sure this is the right way?

S: I am tracking the trolls' residual mental energy.

S: I am certain.

I: Residual?

G: Hey, have you picked up any other thoughts from them?

I: Nothing yet.

I: I keep calling to them, but they seem to be unconscious.

I: But it's all right.

I: As long as they have the silver shirts,

I: the trolls cannot touch them directly.

I: Wait.

I: Leave this to me.

A: Wh-What was that face?

A: Face?!

: Boo...

I: It is as I feared.

I: This is the astral realm.

I: And not a good part.

: This is Qliphoth, the territory of darkness, in the astral realm.

: This would normally be impossible.

: The astral and physical realms shouldn't overlap to this extent.

A: Now that my eyes have adjusted, I'm seeing all kinds of weird crap.

Gu: Yeah.

I: This way.

I: The trolls' lair is back here.

A: This place seems even worse.

I: I shall try to call them again.

G: Casca...

Gi: Where are we?

Gi: Casca!

S: Farnese! Casca!

F: Schierke!

S: Good, I finally got through!

S: Are you two all right?

S: Yes.

S: By the way, where are we?

S: The air is so stagnant...

G: What's wrong?

S: Farnese's od was suddenly disrupted!

S: It seems the things around her surprised her.

S: Let's hurry!

S: Farnese, calm down.

S: As long as you have the silver shirts, you'll be unharmed.

F: You can say that, but...

F: Casca, climb!

F: Hurry!

S: Are you all right?

F: Yes... It was nothing.

F: Nothing at all.

F: I am wielding a blade for another's protection...

F: Calm down!

F: Stay where you are.

F: Don't attract their attention!

Gi: Help... Help me...

Gi: No, stop...

F: Um...

S: No!

: Oh, no!

G: What's wrong?

S: The trolls found them!

S: We must hurry!

S: Stop.

S: I shall fool their od.

S: Now.

P: Wow.

P: What's going on?

S: Controlling od is part of being a mage.

S: Any mage can do it.

P: Sounds convenient.

P: Even a thief could learn a lot, right?

P: It sounds really useful!

G: Casca!

F: I just want to crouch and curl into a ball...

F: No!

F: Stay behind me!

F: But her warmth on my back will not permit that!

F: I'm helpless, and this is the first time

: I've been entrusted with someone weaker than I.

F: Her eyes that know and understand nothing

F: refuse to let me be that way!

F: Is this punishment or...

G: Sorry to keep you waiting.

F: Guts!

G: You okay?

F: Y-Yes!

F: Where is Serpico?

G: Too hurt to move.

G: He's in no danger of dying.

G: I promised to bring you back.

S: Enoch villagers, we're here to save you!

S: We must leave immediately.

S: Follow me.

Gi: Help us...

Gi: Are we going to be saved?

Gi: Wait, the children are here!

A: Hurry!

A: There are still so many.

A: More than att*cked the village!

G: I'll hold them off.

G: You take the villagers and go!

S: No! You cannot handle all these,

S: not without magical reinforcement!

S: You'll die, seriously!

G: Leave it to me!

G: Take care of Casca.

C: Yes.

C: Farnese...

: You've really helped me out.

C: I'm grateful.

F: No, I...

F: Let us go.

G: Isidoro...

G: Light the string poking out of it,

G: count to three, and throw it at the enemy.

G: It'll explode.

G: You're the rearguard.

G: Protect the women.

A: But I...

G: Get going!

G: There's no time to waste talking.

G: On the b*ttlefield,

: with a w*apon, even a kid is a force to be reckoned with.

G: I can count on you, so I'm counting on you.

G: Don't screw it up.

A: Fine! I'll do this!

A: Same to you! Don't die!

G: Now... Let's get started.

G: Look at 'em, crawling out...

G: They're like cockroaches.

G: I've got no choice.

G: Guess I'll go for a hundred consecutive kills of men...

G: no, animals once more!

G: You're hungry, right? Come on.

G: Half of you are about to be prey.

S: Hurry, everyone!

A: One... two... three!

P: Nice!

P: You're perfect for this!

F: Hang in there!

F: Come on, stand up!

A: What's wrong?

F: Nothing!

F: Let's go.

S: Stop!

A: What's wrong?

S: We're surrounded.

S: Thirteen in front.

S: Seven behind.

A: You can't distract them like before?

S: Not this many!

S: We cannot erect a shield and stop moving.

S: We'll break through!

S: I'll handle the front.

S: Isidoro, you take the rear.

A: Seven at once? Fine!

P: This is your big moment!

Gi: Go! Go!

S: I don't have time to cast a big spell.

S: They're here!

S: What?

S: Something approaches at incredible speed!

S: What the hell?!

I: What was that?

P: That's...

G: I guess this is it...

G: This feeling...

S: Everyone, we're almost there!

S: Guts, everyone has made it to the exit.

S: You hurry and get out, too.

F: Casca?

F: That's...

A: What's wrong?

F: Well...

Gi: Schierke!

A: Now what?

S: That was...

S: Guts!

S: What just happened?

S: Guts!

Apostle,Gi: It has been so long since I have taken form...

Apostle,Gi: And my body is composed of troll intestines?

Apostle,Gi: How disgusting.

Apostle,Gi: I missed you, boy.

Apostle,Gi: It's been a while.

Apostle,Gi: No, I have always felt you.

Apostle,Gi: In the cave, at the tower.

Apostle,Gi: During countless nights...

Apostle,Gi: I felt your lamentations.

Apostle,Gi: Now, let me feel it more...

Apostle,Gi: Your rage. Your pain.

Apostle,Gi: Unleash it all!

P: I feel so cold...

P: This is really bad.

Gi: I'm not feeling good, either...

P: I felt an unnatural flow of od from the bottom of the grotto.

P: What is happening there?

I: If we don't hurry, the trolls will return.

S: I have no choice.

S: I shall now perform the spell to seal the cave's entrance.

I: Hey, wait!

I: Guts is still inside!

S: There is no time.

S: If I do not seal this place,

S: the trolls will surely att*ck Enoch and the other villages again.

S: Guts should hear my telepathic messages.

S: Let's believe that he will return by the time the spell activates.

Apostle,Gi: Yes... This is it.

Apostle,Gi: This is what I wanted.

Apostle,Gi: Your soul is suited to Qliphoth.

Apostle,Gi: Your hatred...

Apostle,Gi: Your pain...

Apostle,Gi: And terror.

Apostle,Gi: Now, fight me, struggler.

Apostle,Gi: Pierce me with your big, thick sword...

Apostle,Gi: Is that impossible for you, human?

Apostle,Gi: Then...

Apostle,Gi: Will you make a sacrifice, just as he did?

Apostle,Gi: My...

Apostle,Gi: How rude.

Apostle,Gi: You shouldn't interrupt a man and woman having a tryst.

Apostle,Gi: Or will you join us, King?

Apostle,Gu: Slan, Whore Princess of the Uterine Sea.

Apostle,Gu: You were the only one summoned?

Apostle,Gi: Summoned?

Apostle,Gi: I came here myself.

Apostle,Gi: I desired to see this boy.

Apostle,Gi: You understand, don't you?

Apostle,Gi: This is what the fifth's appearance means.

Apostle,Gi: The worlds have already started to overlap.

Apostle,Gu: Then, no words are left to say.

Apostle,Gi: This place might as well be my womb.

Apostle,Gi: Rage! Violently!

Apostle,Gi: Bastard spawn of darkness!

I: Listen, they can't enter this circle!

I: So don't go outside!

F: Look!

S: Human tools?

F: Schierke said this shield only affects ethereal beings...

A: What?

A: Fine!

A: Come at me, you mad apes!

S: So heavy...

S: Like I'm sinking into mud.

Gu: Using the law of correspondence is most effective...

Gu: The power of water spirits in the rain.

Gu: The power of earth spirits in the ground.

Gu: But that also brings danger.

Gu: If the power is too great for the caster,

Gu: it may swallow her.

Gu: The one which requires the most caution is darkness.

Gu: Do not forget...

Gu: When you gaze into the darkness, the darkness gazes into you, as well.

Apostle,Gi: Well, Your Majesty?

Apostle,Gi: Are you enjoying yourself?

Apostle,Gi: This is the uterus of darkness.

Apostle,Gi: The edge of the underworld, where accursed souls take form.

Apostle,Gi: These children will come in endless numbers,

Apostle,Gi: like insects from the earth.

Apostle,Gu: The time has come.

A: Okay! That does it for those with human tools!

A: That was close...

A: I've only got one left.

P: Wanna use this?

P: It's huge!

A: So that's the boss monkey?

A: I'll use this to finish it.

A: Using his own guy as a shield?

A: What do I do?

A: I can't finish him like this.

A: Lower... Even lower!

A: Faster!

Apostle,Gi: Hot.

Apostle,Gi: So hot...

Apostle,Gi: It's so hot!

Apostle,Gi: The sensation of one's body being ripped apart...

Apostle,Gi: But it isn't enough.

Apostle,Gi: Not even close to enough!

Apostle,Gi: More. I need more.

Apostle,Gu: Stand fast.

Apostle,Gu: With your sword, it is possible.

Apostle,Gu: For that sword is forged by the malice of thousands of dying souls.

Apostle,Gu: Pierce her!

Apostle,S: How wonderful...

Apostle,S: My womb is being torn open.

Apostle,S: Within, life and death intermingle.

Apostle,S: You are the best...

G: D-Did I win?

Apostle,G: Let us meet again,

Apostle,G: my beloved boy.

A: I did it! I did it!

P: But you didn't get them all!

A: Oh, sh*t.

Apostle,Gi: I am the Lord of Rotting Roots.

Apostle,Gi: Ruler of withered trees and polluted mud.

Apostle,Gi: In accordance with my contract with the little one,

Apostle,Gi: the trolls who crawl on my body

Apostle,Gi: will become a breeding ground for maggots.

Apostle,Gi: Rot.

A: Bloodlust!

Gi: Hey, wait!

A: You're going to bury Guts, too!

S: Guts, hurry and get out.

G: What the hell's going on?

Apostle,S: These are the aftereffects of her forced advent and destruction.

Apostle,S: Within this area, life and death have boiled, turning to chaos.

Apostle,S: If left unchecked, not only will this cave be devoured,

Apostle,S: but the entire area.

G: I've gotta worry about myself...

G: The exit's buried!

Apostle,Gu: Perhaps it is time to test my w*apon.

Apostle,Gu: I had planned to use it to bury them within the vortex, but...

G: What are you thinking?

G: I don't have time for weird magic.

G: What's that sword?

G: Wait, I've seen it before.

Apostle,Gu: Within myself, I forged this blade out of Behelits taken from apostles.

Apostle,Gu: This is the Sword of Actuation.

G: Actuation...

G: That's...

G: It's going to catch us!

A: sh*t! It's falling apart!

A: Hey!

Gi: She's working really hard right now!

S: No... I can't hold it back anymore.

S: Schierke!

A: Guts!

A: Guts?

G: What happened?

Apostle,A: I cleaved space to travel through another layer.

Apostle,A: It is this sword's power.

G: I don't understand a damn thing you say.

A: What's going on?!

A: How were you behind us?

G: I owe him another debt.

Gi: Are you okay, Schierke?

S: Yes, I'm fine.

S: That knight...

Gu: Look.

S: Qliphoth has closed?

Gu: Wow... Is this magic, too?

S: No, it wasn't me.

S: But now, we finally...

G: Comrades, huh?

G: I never thought I'd ever find them again.
