02x47 - The Sleeping Lion

[bunniefuu]

It appeared as if humanity will soon
be destroyed by the demons.

But there was a mage who fought alone
and saved everyone.

He was called the Magic Emperor
and became a legend.

The Royal Capital fell into utter chaos.

Magic Knights reincarnated as elves

are beginning to att*ck humans.

At the Eye of the Midnight Sun's base,

Luck and others bare their fangs
at their comrades in the Royal Knights.

Meanwhile,

Rhya was slightly moved by Asta's remark

that humans and elves could reach
a mutual understanding, but…

We can understand each other.

He wasn't lying.

That's why I trusted him.

But after putting my trust in him,
things ended up

like that.

Thus, I'll never trust again.

Rill?

Rhya!

Even them?

We have no chance of winning
against these guys!

Mereoleona threw them out of the battle

in order to protect them

and stayed behind
to face the enemies alone.

Ms. Royal, you really love
protecting your comrades.

You guys have it wrong.

If those brats stay behind,
they will only get in my way.

Stall you?

Don't make me laugh.

I plan on k*lling all of you!

What exactly is happening?

Whatever is happening,
we must protect Master Fuegoleon!

Is this all you humans can do
even when you att*ck as a group?

Please stop,

Vice-Captain Randall!

I will not stop

until you humans are all dead.

Besides, I am not Randall.

He is far more powerful than us.

We can't do this. He is too strong.

We can't stop him.

Don't give up!

Have you all forgotten?

We were trained by the best captains.

We are the proud Crimson Lion,
the strongest knight squad!

We absolutely cannot lose!

Such a high spirit.

This place is filled
with the mana of my Air Magic.

You aren't even able to use
your magic properly, are you?

I usually rely on him
to send air into my Fire Magic

to make my flames burn more vigorously.

I never imagined he would become
such a formidable enemy.

But I won't lose!

I'm going to b*at you
and turn you back to normal!

Focus.

Fire Magic,

Spiral Flame!

So you can still cast magic.

But it's too bad.

Air Magic,

Air Blockade!

I can put out that small flame

with a mere sweep of my hand.

Air Magic,

Crushing Air Blast!

Leo!

You should give up.

You won't have to suffer so much
if you just accept your death.

I won't lose!

I won't let the flames
of the proud Crimson Lion

be extinguished!

Leo is right!

All the Senior Magic Knights
who can still fight are to att*ck as one!

We must make our vice-captain
come to his senses!

-Yes!
-Yes!

Iron Creation Magic,

Iron b*llet!

Fire Magic,

Burst Javelin!

Stone Magic,

Solid Rock!

Show him the pride of Crimson Lion!

What a passionate bunch.

It doesn't matter
how many of you att*ck me at once.

You are not getting away!

All right, this side too!

Air Magic,

expl*sive Air Wave Palm!

Forte!

He is fast!

He can move in any direction
by propelling off the air.

Then, he att*cks with air masses
that can't be seen!

Vice-Captain Randall's Air Magic

is practically invincible!

Air Magic,

Crushing Air Blast!

All those Senior Magic Knights
don't even stand a chance!

If only Master Fuegoleon were awake…

Enough!

This is our moment
to prove our true worth.

We must protect him no matter what.

Hang in there!

As long as we survive,
we will have a chance to strike back!

You won't.

The strongest squad? Don't make me laugh.

Take this!

What?

Did you think I would really be scared?

I thought you had given up,

but you were waiting
for a chance to strike.

Go to sleep.

Air Magic,

Crushing Air Blast!

Do not rely on your eyes.

Use your senses!

He dodged it!

The only way to fight
this invisible Air Magic

within this space that is filled with mana

is to read the flow of mana.

I haven't just been watching
on the sidelines.

I'm able to feel it more and more.

I've found an ideal way to use my flames.

Don't get cocky
just because you dodged it by luck.

Air Magic,

expl*sive Air Wave Palm!

You were willing to lessen the blow
by making it a draw.

Then you immediately att*cked me again
with flames as I was falling back.

It seems like it wasn't just luck.

That's royalty for you.

You possess extraordinary aptitude
and grow so quickly.

Exactly!

Leo, you will be leading
this squad sooner or later.

We'll buy you some time.

Take everyone who can't fight anymore
and get away from here!

No! I can still fight alongside you!

Leo!

Go now!

We are leaving the squad in your hands!

We are the proud Crimson Lion!

For this squad and this kingdom's future,

we will die as heroes!

-Yes!
-Yes!

No!

How can I just leave?

We must survive this together!

Just a little more.

I feel like I'm almost onto something.

My body…

Leo!

Your awakening came too late.

You rapidly drained your energy

by fighting in a way
that you are unaccustomed to.

You can't even stand up now.

You will lead the squad one day?

I'm sorry, but I'm going
to finish you off here.

Damn it!

Move, body!

Leo!

Humans.

Especially the royalty,

shall die miserably.

How can I give up?

I took an oath!

How can I give up now?

How can I give up now?

Move!

Move now!

What are these strange magical powers?

This is…

A new enemy?

No.

This magic that is warm
and seemingly engulfed in fire is…

You did well, Leo.

Fuegoleon!

But your fire is not strong enough.

Leave the rest to me.

This is the magical power
that I sensed earlier!

Salamander!

As the captain of the Crimson Lion

and your brother,

I will not lose again.

This is…

I can feel

their fiery magical powers
as they're in battle.

I need to hurry.

As a Magic Knight

and the captain of Crimson Lion…

Is that all?

Is this all the power you have,

Fuegoleon Vermillion?

Could this be the Fire Spirit, Salamander?

No matter who

or what stands in my way…

Even if I lose an arm

or fire burns my body,

as long as someone
is still waiting for me…

Then I, the captain of Crimson Lion,

Fuegoleon Vermillion, shall go to them!

This is…

Its magical powers and life force
are flowing into me.

There is still something I must do.

Is that what you're trying to tell me?

Spirit, allow me to use this power.

I apologize for worrying you, Leo.

It's okay.

I've always believed you would wake up!

All of you have been very brave too.

Although I was in a deep sleep,

I could still feel
your fiery magical powers.

Master Fuegoleon!

This is the Fire Spirit, Salamander.

According to Asta,

it was accompanying a cadre
of the Eye of the Midnight Sun.

It later disappeared
in the middle of battle.

Honorable, dedicated,
and trusted by the people,

he is the eldest son of the royalty
of House Vermillion

and a Grand Magic Knight.

It's no surprise that
Salamander would choose Fuegoleon!

A mere human
under the spirit's protection?

Moreover, he is a filthy royal! Why?

Randall!

I just woke up, so I may not
be able to control my fire.

Try not to get burnt to death!

Bold words.

Even if the spirit chose you,
you are still human.

You are no match for elves!

Fuegoleon!

Fire Spirit Magic,

Salamander's Breath!

It's so intense!

I can't extinguish it!

The heat is making it hard to breathe!

It is consuming all the air!

Curse you, royals!

Fire Restraining Magic,

Leo Palma!

I will not allow you to continue to use
the vice-captain's body so recklessly.

Master Fuegoleon!

You are the best Magic Knight!

Hurry and help the injured!

Yes!

He is beyond incredible.

That's my brother for you!

Nevertheless,
I'll still surpass you one day!

As the captain of Crimson Lion,

I will make sure you return to normal.

Well, you were unconscious,

Mereoleona is currently the captain.

What?

Is this true?

Yes.

-You're now former Captain Fuegoleon.
-You're now former Captain Fuegoleon.

Mereoleona?

Actually, the position
should have been hers anyway.

But she didn't even bother joining
the Magic Knights because it was a hassle.

It appears that I've made you
do something out of character.

Salamander tells me

that it senses non-human magic
in the Royal Capital.

It seems that a lot has changed

while I was asleep.

On the day the Eye of the Midnight Sun
att*cked the Royal Capital,

I knew the enemy was targeting me,

so I went along with their plan
and walked into their trap.

What is this place?

You are…

This magical power…

William?

Why are you…

I know you too well.

Even though you knew this was a trap,
you still insisted on coming.

I really hoped you didn't come.

What are you saying?

Answer me, William!

You will know the answer soon.

This is…

Now, you've seen it.

Not even the Magic Emperor
who gave me my mask knew this secret.

This is the other me.

What? Who are you?

What did you do to William?

Captain of Crimson Lion.

Though you're always calm,
this seems to have startled even you.

That moment is all I need.

He could have delivered
a lethal blow at that moment.

I was also concerned about William
when he revealed himself to me.

Before verifying the truth,

I must not reveal it.

Do not allow further mayhem
in the Clover Kingdom!

We are Crimson Lion!

With the proud flames
that reside in our hearts,

we will stop the enemy!

-Yes!
-Yes!

The real battle begins now!

Why are our clothes

similar to what the human royalty wear?

I see.

It seems that our comrade
who gathered us here

has a twisted personality.

Why do you say that?

They're telling us to k*ll those humans.

I see.

They k*lled us all back then

and then lived
with such leisure and elegance.

It's truly infuriating.

You are here too.

My goodness, everyone is here.

When I woke up,
I found myself in a strange place.

So I had some fun with them.

They are merely humans.

They are so arrogant and irritating.

It must have been your cousin, Patolli,
who summoned us all here, Ratri.

I see. Patolli, is it?

I guess that's why we get along so well.
We're both twisted.

I can't wait to k*ll
all these royals myself.

The white night is over.

Let us show the humans

the golden dawn!

Finral.

Finral.

Langris!

I'm so glad you are back to normal!

Wait!

Hey! Don't leave, Langris!

Langris!

That hurts!

What's going on?

Actually, where am I?

It has been a while! I'm Finral!

Bastard, how long do you plan on sleeping?

Captain Yami!

As you can see,
the Royal Capital is in big trouble.

You can sense it too, can't you?

Your brother also radiated
the same non-human magic power.

It's everywhere.

Captain Yami, let's go.

Langris, I'm going to save you this time!

-Petite Clover!
-Petite Clover!

Just Woke Up!

Master Fuegoleon!

You are finally awake!

There is something I must do.

-Yes!
-Yes!

What?

He is a man who will not
allow a single stray hair!

That is Fuegoleon Vermillion!

I think your bedhead is okay now.

In that case,
there is something else I must do!

-Yes!
-Yes!

What?

He is a man who greatly cares
about having white teeth.

That is Fuegoleon Vermillion!

I think that is enough brushing.

In that case,
there is something else I must do!

Five more minutes of sleep.

-What?
-What?

A charming man
who always goes back to sleep!

That is Fuegoleon Vermillion--

I will not allow any more blasphemy
against me for the sake of jokes!

I'm the captain of Crimson Lion,

Fuegoleon Vermillion!

What?

Did you say I'm the former captain?
