There's a village nearby. Why not employ their services to our end?
Then the whole world will be ours as well!
Slayers Return
What do you think you're doing?
Gotcha!
Oh, how wasteful.
Don't you think that's rude?
This world is all about the law of the jungle!
If that's how you want it, fine! From now on, you pay for your own meals!
Why, you...
Fireball!
You made a big mistake trying to pull that trick on me, Lina Inverse!
Excuse me.
Did she get hurt in that last expl*si*n?
But people make mistakes.
Please help. I beg you...
Get a hold of yourself!
Village?
They threatened us into forced labor for them.
I managed to slip away from them and...
Somehow I was able to get away and make it here.
Well, I'll be going now.
Oh, make sure to pay for this room, okay?
Look, it might be a tough break, but why us?
Who's the underling?
Why, that would be you, Lina!
My name is Saleena.
Biaz is in the mountains, about half day's walk north of here.
I can't pass this up.
Of course! How could I turn away people in need?!
We have much to do today!
Feel fortunate you are contributing to the efforts of Zein.
Right then! Head to the work site!
Naga, why did you come along? You complained all the way here.
Right!
The village of Biaz...
Ms. Lina!
It hurts.
They're forcing us to excavate it.
Let's get a little closer.
Okay!
Yes, a little. You'll see how well I do at the excavation site.
It seems you'll have a chance to show your skill sooner than you thought.
I see. So, when did you figure out we were here?
What?
Now that's a laugh and half!
I was willing to let you join us under certain terms, but no more!
Then meet your death! Lesser demons, attack!
Ragnarok Blast!
Spiral Spirit m*ssile!
Lmpossible!
Elmekian Lance!
Flare Arrow!
Right!
You don't have to worry. We have strong allies with us.
I don't. How am I supposed to know about something like this?
I can tell. This must be that loot you were after.
That's not some treasure trove.
Who are you?
So, what is this thing?
"But if you protect this land, Biaz will continue to prosper."
And...
It has been passed down through the generations to Biaz's headmaster.
Yes, my father is the headmaster of this village.
I assume it's made of orichalcon?
Excuse me!
Hey, Naga, what do you think you're doing?
I will try to gather together as much of a payment as I can.
Well, if you put it like that, I suppose I can't say no.
I can't get it off.
I'm not joking around! I try this, and this, and...
This is a sign from the Heavens telling me to keep this bracelet!
Heaven doesn't give signs like that!
I'm sorry.
So, how can we get that bracelet off of her?
anyone doing something like this before.
You had better not be acting just to keep the bracelet to yourself!
What 's the deal here, damn it?!
Please, don't make me answer that question.
They will be formidable opponents indeed.
I'm well aware
of the dangers involved!
It looks like it's going to rain.
We're the ones in a bind!
Or maybe that's they want us to think so we'll lower our guard.
Oh, their headquarters? My neighbor Becker knows where it is.
I'll guide you there.
Thanks, Becker. Later, I'll pour you a glass of the good stuff.
Don't forget the snacks.
Have a safe trip!
Oh, boy.
I suppose so.
They've come!
That's the way?
Let's go!
That's what we're about to find out.
We'll politely ask them to share the information with us.
Right over there.
Damn it! They discovered the location of our headquarters already?
Aren't we bold, aiming for world conquest with a shack for a base?!
I would advise against judging a book by its cover.
We struggle to find food, we have no money, and my wife and child left me!
It doesn't look like we'll have the chance!
I summon thee! Ohaotic Eye!
Flare Arrow!
Spiral Spirit m*ssile!
Utterly futile! No ordinary attack spells will work on that thing!
I see. Naga!
We only need to employ something extraordinary?
Gaav Flare!
In that case...
When will you learn that summoning minions has no effect on me?
Meteor Fall?
Don't let him complete the spell!
Blast Ash!
Hey, wait! Mr. Becker, you're in my way!
Elmekian Lance!
Gotcha!
Lina!
Becker Strike!
Thank you, Naga!
Oh, no!
He's completed the spell!
Too late! Utterly and completely!
Please let me win this battle. Please let me win this battle. Please...
Damn it! I could only say it two complete times!
You just wanted to wish upon a star?
I don't believe you!
Well, now we clearly know why that spell became a legend.
What? Did you still think you have a chance against us after all this?
It's about time for them to arrive.
What did you say?
Zein!
Hey! Just hold on!
Wait until Lina and Naga come back.
But what if THEY don't wait for them to come back?
What do you fight for, Saleena?
I fight to live a life I can be proud of living.
Yes, Sir!
When those guys that were summoned make it to the village...
Saleena is as good as dead.
That old man doesn't want us here either, I guess.
but I'm not about to become some parent that abandons his kid.
Fireball!
Right, then! Raywing!
Here we go!
What the hell?
I know all about you unscrupulous characters!
Freeze Arrow!
We'll have to fight this one out!
Get ready, everyone!
I knew they'd be at it by now!
Swarming Photons!
Father!
You're not so bad yourself!
expl*si*n Array!
Here I am! You were in danger there, weren't you?
Don't people say that you're a danger to your friends?
Thank you for coming.
It has been too long, my dear comrades.
Finally, the time is at hand for us to live in glory!
and with your combined strength...
What are you...
Oh, no! Master Galef!
then suddenly casts a spell at you?
I suppose so.
Now that that's all been taken care of, back to...
You will aid us in our endeavor? I can't thank you enough!
Fat chance, freeloader! We'll grab that treasure for ourselves!
So it was a treasure trove after all!
Raywing!
Hey wait, Naga!
Raywing!
Going to hog the treasure for themselves!
We won't let them outdo us!
I knew it! They didn't hear a word we said!
No matter! If they dig out that thing, it will be to our benefit.
Earth Spirit Road!
Earth Spirit Road!
Naga! Oome on, cut it out!
Earth Spirit Road! Earth Spirit Road!
Earth Spirit Road!
Earth Spirit Road!
Earth Spirit Road!
Earth Spirit Road! Earth Spirit Road!
Earth Spirit Road!
Earth Spirit Road!
Earth Spirit Road! Earth Spirit Road!
Earth Spirit Road!
Earth Spirit Road!
Blasting Blade!
Stop it! Everyone stop right now!
It doesn't look like treasure.
Behold!
Orichalcon?
What?
This will give you the entire world if you know its true value!
I shall share the secret with you now!
A thousand years ago,
when mortals fought the demons in the w*r of Demonic Invasion,
I summon thee, Rune Blast!
This isn't good!
Damn it! Gaav Flare!
No way!
Go, Rune Blast! Teach all those that oppose me...
How rude, attacking so suddenly!
Well, in that case...
Dragon sl*ve!
My Dragon sl*ve doesn't work!
You're alive.
Stop gloating! You're running like the rest of us!
That's strange. Theoretically, I should be able to control that thing.
What? These two pages were stuck together?
"We ended up making it impervious to spells that control it as well."
"We're sealing it and burying it, so please don't let any one dig it up."
You moron!
Ms. Lina, we're in trouble!
We'll reward you generously if you get us out of this!
Yeah, sure, but...
I see! But how are we going to slay it?
Behold, my tremendous magical powers!
If you can't send magic into it, then...
Blast Furnace Array!
Me too!
Hey, wait!
It says the enchanted beast is made to go after the one wearing it.
What the hell were those elves thinking when they made that thing?
I guess they wanted the villagers to be punished if they dug up the beast.
That can't be!
Naga, I won't ever forget how you sacrificed yourself so nobly.
Here, doggie-doggie! Go and get it!
If I'm a goner, I'm taking you with...
Don't bring up old issues like that!
Hey, isn't there a town at the base of those mountains?
Even so, I'm not about to abandon them!
Kind madams, we don't allow people to simply go through...
Don't ask me! If spells don't work, we'll have to attack directly!
Royal Spiritual Ourse!
Heed my bidding, my golem! Show that creature your powers!
If you lose, there won't be any dinner for you! Go, golem, go! Orush it! Pound it!
Go and beat that thing to a pulp! O'mon on! Put some effort into it!
It seems they found true love in the midst of battle.
True love? What the hell is true love?
With these buildings as obstacles, we'll be able to out-maneuver it.
Lina! Don't let details like that bother you!
This isn't just any old attack!
Gaav Flare!
Then we can take care of all this!
Right!
Oh, I forget. Who cares right now?!
Ms. Lina! We'll help you!
Blast Ash!
You'll give us a hand?
Hey, we got this far into this. We'll see it to the end.
Flare Arrow!
expl*si*n Array!
We can take out the golem just fine, but...
He might be huge, but magic will work on it.
Hey, wait a second...
Everyone else, please give us cover!
Are those two girls really going to be able to defeat that thing?
Leave it to me!
Thou that art redder than blood...
and deliver doom equally to the fools that stand in our way!
Wind Shield!
Enveloping the golem in a protective bubble of wind?
Dragon sl*ve!
Destroy it?
YES!
It was nothing.
Perhaps fate will bring us together, so we may meet again in the future.
Oome back here, old man!
You said it was made entirely of orichalcon! Why is it disintegrating?
You're gonna cough up the money you owe us, right?
Oh, well, I guess that's that.
Hey! What's that?
Hey, wait, wait a second!
I see so many hellos and goodbyes, each a wonderful, fleeting dream Deai to umare, tuska no ma ni sugiru, yume
I toast high as I scream, "carpe diem!" Seippai no ima ni kanpai
You have to have some tears and anguish to spice it up Toki niha namida mo essennsu nano
Master Galef, we have located the item we seek.
Finally!
There's a village nearby. Why not employ their services to our end?
At last, it will be ours!
The power from antiquity!
Then the whole world will be ours as well!
Slayers Return
What do you think you're doing?
Gotcha!
Oh, how wasteful.
Naga! Have you no shame?
Don't you think that's rude?
You make me laugh, Lina Inverse!
This world is all about the law of the jungle!
To live is to fight!
How pathetic of you to whine about losing a contest over food!
Who do you think you are?
You're the one that makes me pay for your food!
All right then!
If that's how you want it, fine! From now on, you pay for your own meals!
Well, that's different.
People have to stick together in this harsh, cruel world.
Why, you...
Fireball!
Trying to steal someone's luggage while they're busy eating?
You made a big mistake trying to pull that trick on me, Lina Inverse!
Were you trying to k*ll me while we were preoccupied?
What are you up to, Lina Inverse?
Well, you were all burnt and stuff, so I didn't know it was you.
How pathetic, making up an excuse like that!
It's probably because you resent that I ate your steak,
but you'll pay dearly for your deed!
For starters, you should pay for all my meals for the rest of our lives.
And why do I have to that?
Well, that's...
Excuse me.
Did she get hurt in that last expl*si*n?
Well, if that's what happened, I'm really sorry.
But people make mistakes.
Please help. I beg you...
Hey, wait! You're following the basic rules of plot advancement too well!
Get a hold of yourself!
Are you awake? I treated your wounds with magic.
The expl*si*n that destroyed the tavern, that was you, wasn't it?
Well, like I said before, I'm sorry about...
I beg you! Please help me!
At this rate our village will be... My village is going to be...
Village?
It was about ten days ago.
A group accompanied by lesser demons suddenly arrived.
They threatened us into forced labor for them.
I managed to slip away from them and...
Somehow I was able to get away and make it here.
I see!
So your wounds weren't my fault!
Well, I'll be going now.
Oh, make sure to pay for this room, okay?
Please wait! I want to rid our village of those marauders.
Why don't you ask the authorities for help?
I did, but they said it would take a month to gather reinforcements.
That's far too long!
Look, it might be a tough break, but why us?
I'll commend you for recognizing the abilities of myself and my underling.
Who's the underling?
Why, that would be you, Lina!
Why, you...
So it's Ms. Lina and Ms. Naga?
My name is Saleena.
If you request someone's help, you should reward them accordingly.
Our village is not very affluent,
but I'll see what I can put together!
Please, I beg you!
Where is your village?
Now remember, travel expenses have to be covered separately.
Biaz is in the mountains, about half day's walk north of here.
The village of Biaz?
Okay, it's not far,
but I don't want a year's supply of specialty pickled foods, got it?
Right, Lina?
I can't pass this up.
All right then! I'll beat back those scumbags personally!
Really?
Of course! How could I turn away people in need?!
Assemble at once!
We have much to do today!
Feel fortunate you are contributing to the efforts of Zein.
Right then! Head to the work site!
That's the lieutenant in their organization.
He's an accomplished swordsman, so please be careful.
Okay!
I see. Okay!
I see.
I see. Naga, why did you come along? You complained all the way here.
Naga, why did you come along? You complained all the way here.
Does having me around make it inconvenient for you, Lina?
Of course not, just curious.
Then let's go.
Wait!
What's wrong? Wait!
What's wrong?
What's wrong? Don't you realize, if we fight them here, your village will be ruined?
Don't you realize, if we fight them here, your village will be ruined?
We need to see how many of them there are,
as well as their strengths!
Right!
The village of Biaz...
I've read about this village in the tomes of sorcery.
How, long ago, a village of elves near Biaz gave something to its headmaster.
That means... I can smell it already!
The fine scent of elfin loot!
You're happy.
Oh, you know, You're happy.
Oh, you know,
the prospect of beating up on scumbags
makes me all tingly inside!
Ms. Lina!
I tried to warn you.
It hurts.
A downpour ten days ago washed
away the cliff to expose that thing.
They're forcing us to excavate it.
I wonder what they aim to dig up?
Well, Lina?
Look, right now we should worry about helping the villagers first.
Let's get a little closer.
I think I figured this out pretty well.
Okay!
I might not be much, but I'll fight with you.
Are you good with a sword?
Yes, a little. You'll see how well I do at the excavation site.
Well?
It seems you'll have a chance to show your skill sooner than you thought.
I see. So, when did you figure out we were here?
Not soon enough to be able to catch you off guard, I suppose.
I hear you've got a dirty racket going on here.
Oh, it's not that bad. We make sure they're fed right.
Although, we're not paying them anything for their labors.
They should thank our group for bringing about world domination.
What?
World domination? Aren't we making some big claims?!
I've seen nincompoops like you everywhere.
You can't do anything without forcing some villagers to do your bidding,
and you're talking about world domination?
Now that's a laugh and half!
Why you pompous little...
I was willing to let you join us under certain terms, but no more!
Us? Join you? Get real!
Then meet your death! Lesser demons, attack!
Ragnarok Blast!
Spiral Spirit m*ssile!
Lmpossible!
Elmekian Lance!
I think that's enough playing around.
Why don't you come at us with everything you've got?
Or do you mean to say that really was your main force?
You wouldn't say something that pathetic, would you?
I'll let you off for today! You better remember this!
I'd rather not!
Flare Arrow!
You missed.
Damn! You missed.
Damn!
Damn! Wait!
Wait!
No, don't, Saleena! Wait!
No, don't, Saleena!
First we have to rescue your people!
Right!
Everyone keep calm! Please don't panic.
Are you really sure about this, Saleena?
Running away like this?
Oouldn't there be some of them waiting for us at the village? Running away like this?
Oouldn't there be some of them waiting for us at the village?
You don't have to worry. We have strong allies with us.
Strange, none of them remained behind to watch over the work.
Or were the ones we just defeated doing that as well?
Who cares about that? They're not here. That's that.
Anyway, what is this thing?
You know, don't you? Out with it, Lina!
I don't. How am I supposed to know about something like this?
Okay, so you're going to play dumb, are you?
I can tell. This must be that loot you were after.
I'm not going to let you keep this all to yourself!
That's not some treasure trove.
Who are you?
He's my father.
You have my gratitude for coming to rescue us.
But I must ask that you refrain from messing with that.
Does it have to do with the village of elves that used to be nearby?
Oh, so you do know something about this!
Not really. Oh, so you do know something about this!
Yes, there used to be a hidden settlement of elves nearby.
When the elves moved away,
they asked the village headmaster to look over this and keep it safe.
I never thought it would be something like this.
So, what is this thing?
I have no idea. But before the elves went away, they left a message:
"Do not ever lay your hands on what is buried here."
"If you do, chaos will plague your village and it will perish."
"But if you protect this land, Biaz will continue to prosper."
And...
This is the bracelet the elves gave us as part of our pact with them.
It has been passed down through the generations to Biaz's headmaster.
So that means...
Yes, my father is the headmaster of this village.
Impressive workmanship.
I assume it's made of orichalcon?
Excuse me!
Hey, Naga, what do you think you're doing?
What else?
If they come up short on payment,
we'll take this and anything else of value, so I was trying it out!
Ah, I see.
Don't just agree with her!
Well, quite meticulous, aren't you?
That belongs to the entire village, so please return it.
I will try to gather together as much of a payment as I can.
Well, if you put it like that, I suppose I can't say no.
I can't get it off.
Hey, Naga, lay off joking around in such bad taste!
I'm not joking around! I try this, and this, and...
This is a sign from the Heavens telling me to keep this bracelet!
Heaven doesn't give signs like that!
I'm sorry.
So, how can we get that bracelet off of her?
I don't know. We've never heard of
anyone doing something like this before.
You had better not be acting just to keep the bracelet to yourself!
How rude! How dare you make such...
Stop pulling like that! You're hurting my hand, Lina!
Oome off! Stop pulling like that! You're hurting my hand, Lina!
Oome off!
What 's the deal here, damn it?!
It would seem that the bracelet wants to belong to me.
Fat chance if you think talk like that is going to fly! It would seem that the bracelet wants to belong to me.
Fat chance if you think talk like that is going to fly!
Anything we get, we split fifty-fifty!
It looks good on me. So what's the problem? Anything we get, we split fifty-fifty!
It looks good on me. So what's the problem?
That's not the problem! You nincompoop!
It's only natural that a beautiful thing be on something similar. That's not the problem! You nincompoop!
It's only natural that a beautiful thing be on something similar. Saleena, are you sure about this?
Saleena, are you sure about this?
About relying on them for help?
Please, don't make me answer that question.
They defeated a lesser demon with one shot?
They will be formidable opponents indeed.
I have failed you, Master. To think the brat that eluded
us would return with bodyguards in tow.
There's little point crying over spilt milk.
But regarding these bodyguards,
But regarding these bodyguards,
I will have to call back my former underlings.
No! Not them!
It's too dangerous!
I'm well aware
of the dangers involved!
It looks like it's going to rain.
"When it rains, it pours." Right?
Don't joke around, Father!
We're the ones in a bind!
I'm not joking around.
We figured those Zein guys would return and attack us right away.
It's been two days with no sign of them yet.
Hell, maybe they gave up and went away.
Or maybe that's they want us to think so we'll lower our guard.
If you don't want to wait for them to attack, why not go on the offensive?
We don't know where their headquarters is.
Oh, their headquarters? My neighbor Becker knows where it is.
I'll guide you there.
Thanks, Becker. Later, I'll pour you a glass of the good stuff.
Don't forget the snacks.
Have a safe trip!
Oh, boy.
No kidding. Did we have to take off just as it's about to rain?
That's not what I meant.
Well, I won't stand for it. Getting drenched is unacceptable to me.
I guess.
I suppose so.
They've come!
That's the way?
I recall the name of the village was Biaz.
Let's go!
What do you think?
About what? What do you think?
About what?
About what? The legend about the elves.
The legend about the elves.
They often talk about curses to keep people from prowling for treasure.
That's what we're about to find out.
Those guys must be excavating that thing for a good reason.
Our bad guys here must know something.
I see. We'll grab them and make them sing, right?
Don't get carried away.
We'll politely ask them to share the information with us.
Hey! My feet hurt! How much further is it?
Don't worry. We're almost there.
Mr. Becker, you've already said that at least five times.
No, really. I mean it.
Here we are.
Where?
Right over there. Where?
Right over there.
Master Galef! The bodyguards the villagers hired are right outside!
Damn it! They discovered the location of our headquarters already?
What? That's...
That's their headquarters?
Welcome to the headquarters of Zein.
Headquarters? You call this a headquarters?
Aren't we bold, aiming for world conquest with a shack for a base?!
I would advise against judging a book by its cover.
True, the size of our organization Zein is still small!
Our headquarters is shoddy, and only two people make up the group!
We struggle to find food, we have no money, and my wife and child left me!
Then why don't you get a real job, old man?
I did not establish this organization to safeguard my livelihood!
My one and only goal is to live to my heart's content.
In short, you started this for kicks but you've gone bankrupt, right?
That's going too far!
In any case, while we may be a small organization today,
once we possess the secret sleeping beneath this land,
our dreams of world conquest will be at hand!
Oh yeah, about that, could you describe...
For that, your presence is an obstacle that must be removed!
I apologize, but I must make you disappear now!
Arise from the abyss of mortal souls and do my bidding!
What was that about asking them politely for more information?
It doesn't look like we'll have the chance!
I summon thee! Ohaotic Eye!
Flare Arrow!
Spiral Spirit m*ssile!
Utterly futile! No ordinary attack spells will work on that thing!
I see. Naga!
We only need to employ something extraordinary?
Gaav Flare!
What? They overpowered the Ohaotic Eye?
In that case...
Don't make me laugh.
When will you learn that summoning minions has no effect on me?
I only summoned them to buy me the time I need for incanting a spell.
Behold! My secret special spell, Meteor Fall!
Meteor Fall?
The legendary spell to make a fragment of the stars fall to Earth!
It could decimate an entire city!
Heed me, thou who casts thy gaze from the heavens upon this land.
Now, bring thy power to Earth...
Don't let him complete the spell!
Blast Ash!
Hey, wait! Mr. Becker, you're in my way!
Elmekian Lance!
Gotcha!
Lina!
Becker Strike!
Thank you, Naga!
Oh, no!
He's completed the spell!
Too late! Utterly and completely!
Please let me win this battle. Please let me win this battle. Please...
Damn it! I could only say it two complete times!
You just wanted to wish upon a star?
I don't believe you!
Well, now we clearly know why that spell became a legend.
It seems I underestimated you.
But do not be mistaken and think you have already won.
What? Did you still think you have a chance against us after all this?
Just for you, I have sent for my former underlings to return.
It's about time for them to arrive.
We're supposed to rendezvous at the village of Biaz!
What did you say?
We've got big trouble!
A group dressed strangely is coming this way up the mountain!
They're probably...
Zein!
Hey! Just hold on!
You think you'll be a match against them?
Wait until Lina and Naga come back.
But what if THEY don't wait for them to come back?
I'm going.
What do you fight for, Saleena? I'm going.
What do you fight for, Saleena?
I fight to live a life I can be proud of living.
There they go.
Zahhard, it's time we made haste!
Yes, Sir!
What's wrong, Lina?
We won't make it in time at this rate.
When those guys that were summoned make it to the village...
Saleena is as good as dead.
Hey, what's the big idea, pretty girl?
It would seem she is not very happy to see us here.
That old man doesn't want us here either, I guess.
Father?
Now, I'm not much of a man,
but I'm not about to become some parent that abandons his kid.
So Naga, please get to the village ahead of me!
Ahead of you?
That's why we're rushing there with the Raywing spell!
This isn't the time to chitchat!
Fireball!
I'm counting on you, Naga!
Right, then! Raywing!
Here we go!
What?
What the hell?
I know all about you unscrupulous characters!
Freeze Arrow!
Blast it! Such a trickster!
Damn it, the hell with this!
We'll have to fight this one out!
Get ready, everyone!
I knew they'd be at it by now!
Swarming Photons!
Father!
You're pretty good, old man!
You're not so bad yourself!
expl*si*n Array!
Ms. Lina!
Here I am! You were in danger there, weren't you? Ms. Lina!
Here I am! You were in danger there, weren't you?
Don't people say that you're a danger to your friends?
Yes, they do.
Thank you for coming. Yes, they do.
Thank you for coming.
It has been too long, my dear comrades.
Finally, the time is at hand for us to live in glory!
Assemble before me again, my underlings,
and with your combined strength...
What are you...
Underlings? Who are you calling underlings? You've got some nerve!
You made us work like dogs, then you run off without giving us our pay!
After all that, you have the guts to have us gather?
Glory, you say? Save the hype for after you pay us what you owe!
Oh, no! Master Galef!
Hey, wait just a second here!
Didn't you come here to come to aid that old man?
Of course not, not after what we went through.
We just wanted to give him a beating to get it out of our systems!
That's why we came!
Then what was the point of attacking the villagers?
Why were you fighting them?
How do you talk when a maniacally laughing woman falls from the sky,
then suddenly casts a spell at you?
I suppose so.
Oh well, misunderstandings can't be helped sometimes.
Now that that's all been taken care of, back to...
Just wait, everyone! Right now we're involved
in trying to excavate something extraordinary!
Really?
Once we get our hands on it, we'll be able to take over the entire world! Really?
Once we get our hands on it, we'll be able to take over the entire world!
Oh, yeah, about that, could you...
Once our world conquest is complete, we can pay you back many times over!
Are you certain of this?
We're sure this time, honestly! Are you certain of this?
We're sure this time, honestly!
Well, if you put it that way...
I suppose we can trust you about this.
You will aid us in our endeavor? I can't thank you enough! I suppose we can trust you about this.
You will aid us in our endeavor? I can't thank you enough!
Fat chance, freeloader! We'll grab that treasure for ourselves!
So it was a treasure trove after all!
Raywing!
Hey wait, Naga!
Raywing!
Blast it, they're...
Going to hog the treasure for themselves! Blast it, they're...
We won't let them outdo us!
I knew it! They didn't hear a word we said!
Master Galef!
No matter! If they dig out that thing, it will be to our benefit. Master Galef!
No matter! If they dig out that thing, it will be to our benefit.
Earth Spirit Road!
Naga! Oome on, cut it out!
Earth Spirit Road!
Blasting Blade!
Stop it! Everyone stop right now!
What is this thing?
It doesn't look like treasure.
Excellent! You've unearthed what will determine the world's fate!
Behold!
This is...
Orichalcon!
Isn't that stuff worth more than gold?
Fool! If that's made of orichalcon, it's worth enough to buy a nation!
What?
Buy a nation? Don't make me laugh!
This will give you the entire world if you know its true value!
I shall share the secret with you now!
A thousand years ago,
when mortals fought the demons in the w*r of Demonic Invasion,
elfin mages created the ultimate w*apon
against those armies, and this is it!
Awaken! In the name of Galef Kainzart, I liberate thee!
I summon thee, Rune Blast!
This isn't good!
You punks! How dare you attack me like that?!
Damn it! Gaav Flare!
What?
No way! What?
No way!
Rune Blast was designed specifically to counter the demonic forces.
Did you think an attack like that would work?
Go, Rune Blast! Teach all those that oppose me...
How rude, attacking so suddenly!
Well, in that case...
Dragon sl*ve!
My Dragon sl*ve doesn't work!
I thought I was a goner back there!
You're alive.
Rune Blast's design uses orichalcon, the magic absorbing metal.
No manner of magic will work on it!
Stop gloating! You're running like the rest of us!
It's coming after us! Old man, do something!
That's strange. Theoretically, I should be able to control that thing.
What? These two pages were stuck together?
What does it say?
"...making it impervious to spells."
"We ended up making it impervious to spells that control it as well."
"We're sealing it and burying it, so please don't let any one dig it up."
You moron!
Ms. Lina, we're in trouble!
At this rate, we'll end up back at the village!
And so the prediction comes true.
Oh well, maybe this is fate?
Don't be so heartless!
We'll reward you generously if you get us out of this!
Yeah, sure, but...
All right! For the sake of your village, I'll stay and stop it!
Get serious! What are you thinking?
This won't make us rich. Why take the risk?
Moron! Think about it.
That thing is made of orichalcon!
If we slay it and sell it to someone, we'll become rich!
I see! But how are we going to slay it?
Well, I guess it's all up to me now.
Behold, my tremendous magical powers!
If you can't send magic into it, then...
Blast Furnace Array!
Oh, dear. Gotta run!
Me too!
Hey, wait!
That thing's still coming after us!
It's after the village.
Not exactly. It's going after that bracelet.
It says the enchanted beast is made to go after the one wearing it.
Of course, once you put on the bracelet, you can't take it off.
What the hell were those elves thinking when they made that thing?
In the book, it says they realized they made something impractical.
So they remind the reader not to mess with it if they come across it.
Elfin knuckleheads!
But why did the elves give the bracelet to the villagers?
I guess they wanted the villagers to be punished if they dug up the beast.
So the legend wasn't a prediction; it was a warning.
That can't be!
Naga, I won't ever forget how you sacrificed yourself so nobly.
Here, doggie-doggie! Go and get it!
Naga! When did you...
I figured you would try pulling off something like that.
If I'm a goner, I'm taking you with...
Wait, Lina! What are you doing?
You said that we should go down together!
Don't bring up old issues like that!
Hey, isn't there a town at the base of those mountains?
We can't look away and pretend it's not happening!
Let's go!
Fool! What could you do? Let's go!
Fool! What could you do?
Even if we all went, we wouldn't make a difference against it!
Even so, I'm not about to abandon them!
Hello! Ooming through! Sorry about this!
Kind madams, we don't allow people to simply go through...
Hey, Lina! What are we going to do with that thing?
Don't ask me! If spells don't work, we'll have to attack directly!
It seems there's no other choice. I'll subdue it with brute force!
Hey, you're not going to...
Royal Spiritual Ourse! Hey, you're not going to...
Royal Spiritual Ourse!
Heed my bidding, my golem! Show that creature your powers!
If you lose, there won't be any dinner for you! Go, golem, go! Orush it! Pound it!
Go and beat that thing to a pulp! O'mon on! Put some effort into it!
It seems they found true love in the midst of battle.
True love? What the hell is true love?
Oh, no! It's coming this way again!
With these buildings as obstacles, we'll be able to out-maneuver it.
But that thing just plows through all the buildings!
Lina! Don't let details like that bother you!
Oh, what a rude attack!
This isn't just any old attack!
Gaav Flare!
Yes! Magic does work on these things!
Then we can take care of all this!
Right!
How? How are we going to do that?
Oh, I forget. Who cares right now?!
Saleena!
Ms. Lina! We'll help you! Saleena!
Ms. Lina! We'll help you!
Blast Ash!
You guys?
You'll give us a hand? You guys?
Oh well, I thought I'd help clean up the mess I created.
That's all.
Hey, we got this far into this. We'll see it to the end.
Flare Arrow!
expl*si*n Array!
Lina, unless we take care of that thing, this will be endless!
You're right.
We can take out the golem just fine, but...
He might be huge, but magic will work on it.
Hey, wait a second...
Naga, help me out!
Everyone else, please give us cover!
This is going nowhere!
Are those two girls really going to be able to defeat that thing?
Like we planned. Ready, Naga?
Leave it to me!
Heed me thou that art darker than dusk...
Thou that art redder than blood...
What are they doing? Why that spell?
In the name of thou that was buried in the passing of...
Dragon sl*ve? It won't work on that enchanted beast!
Lt'll work on the golem, of course.
I pray to the darkness, merge your strength and mine,
and deliver doom equally to the fools that stand in our way!
Wind Shield!
Enveloping the golem in a protective bubble of wind?
Dragon sl*ve!
Did they...
Destroy it? Did they...
Destroy it?
YES!
Taking a golem and lobbing it at the creature like a cannon round!
What a spectacular feat!
It was nothing.
Truly extraordinary!
It was so absolutely extraordinary
how you defeated that creature.
I confess, I was deeply impressed.
Perhaps fate will bring us together, so we may meet again in the future.
Oome back here, old man!
You may be playing the part of villain turned good guy,
departing while everyone is in good spirits, but that won't fly with me!
You said it was made entirely of orichalcon! Why is it disintegrating?
I said orichalcon was an ingredient.
I did not say it was made completely of orichalcon,
and nothing is written about what would
happen if the beast was defeated!
Why don't we give him to the authorities and get a reward for him?
Oh, no! What if we have him work at the village for the rest of his life?
You're gonna cough up the money you owe us, right?
Oh, well, I guess that's that.
Hey! What's that?
Oh, no, you don't!
Hey, wait, wait a second!
These feelings span out into the vast openness Hirogaru omoi kare kata he tsuzuku

Hey, wait for me! I don't want to be alone! Now I remember about the far reaches of the sky lma omoi dasu sora no hate
