01x25 - Blade of Vengeance, Blooms in Darkness

[bunniefuu]

Trust turns into distrust,

despair and chaos begins
to rule over the world.

Are you all right, Pavel?

You seemed quite disturbed.

I had a terrible dream...

I'm worried about Kasel.

Will he be able to successfully
get the Holy Sword?

He'll be fine.

Let's put our faith in the young ones.

When the red-stained night comes

I paint you on the sky

KING's RAID: Successors of the Will

The hidden truth

The sudden suffocation

You are so distant, fading

Do you feel it too?

Crossing blades

Cannot touch

The sadness that lies beyond

I just want to see you

I search for you

Now, Eclipse

I always want to be by your side

I send a wish to the sky

I believe in destiny

When the sun and moon meet

At that moment

I run to you

With all my heart

Blade of Vengeance,

Blooms in Darkness

Light was about to turn into
pitch-black darkness.

We depart as soon as the horses
have had some reset.

The World Tree is close.
We must catch up with Princess Scarlet.

Yes.

Who would have thought that your friend
Kasel was the heir to the Holy Sword...

You knew, didn't you?

Yes...

Then why didn't you tell us?

If we knew that the heir
to the Holy Sword existed,

we could have strategized accordingly.

We could even have
helped Kasel directly, too.

That's because...

...when I spoke to Kasel
at the Tower of the Sage...

You're King Kyle's...?!

I still can't believe
I'm the son of King Kyle.

That's why I have to find out
for myself if it's true.

If it is true... I want to find
the Holy Sword Aea.

With the Holy Sword,
I'm sure I can protect everyone!

Do you realize how dangerous
this is going to be?

Yeah. But I still want
to get the Holy Sword!

I don't want to see anyone else
suffer because of the Demons.

I could really feel how strong
his determination was.

Kasel was trying to fight the Demons
from the bottom of his heart!

As you said, Captain Demia,
we probably could have helped him.

However, Kasel is determining his
own destiny without anyone's guidance...

I felt that, only through
that type of growth,

can he truly become the heir
to the Holy Sword.

You could be right.

But the fate of the whole world
rests on his shoulders.

It's much too heavy a load
for one person to carry.

To become a knight
that protects everyone...

That was Kasel's dream,
from a very young age.

Some laughed at him
calling it a silly dream,

but he was serious, after the hardship
of losing his mother to the Demons.

We must not lose any more lives...

Nobody else should have to despair
from losing a loved one.

That was what Kasel has been
thinking this whole time.

The day Kasel picks up his sword
to protect everyone,

I will become his shield.

That was the choice
I made a long time ago.

Now is that time.

Yes.

The World Tree is close.

Once we regroup with Kasel,
be ready to fight the Demon Lord.

I have just one goal:
to k*ll the Demon that k*lled my friends.

I will do whatever is necessary for that.

Whatever is necessary... Right.

I'm concerned about what I saw
in Illya's research notes.

Who was the person that told Illya
that Kyle was in danger?

Also, if King Kyle was
taken over by dark powers,

doesn't the same risk apply to Kasel,
the current heir to the Holy Sword?

Is there anything we can do to help...?

That has nothing to do with me.

According to Dominix,
the Demon that attacked the Black Edge

is a sorcerer named Malduk.

Malduk...

Yes. In the previous battle 100 years ago,

it is said that he was using
the "undead"--moving corpses.

I will k*ll him with my own hands...!

I've never had any doubt...

That the light would
guide us to the right path.

To a bright future, full of hope...

But...

Why did the goddess Lua take away
the Holy Sword's power?

I'm sure there was some reason.

No matter what the reason was,
there's no doubt that she took the power away.

What would you do if Lua betrays you, too?

Kasel.

What's wrong, Frey?

I, uh... I have to talk to you.

Oh, I'm so thirsty all of a sudden!

Let's take a quick break!

But, we need to hurry...

Don't worry!

So what is it?

Well, um...

Once we get the Holy Sword,
we will have to fight the Dark Lord.

But the Dark Lord is King Kyle himself.

Can you fight him?

Also... If you were able to defeat him,

what would happen to you after that...?

If the Dark Lord is indeed
King Kyle himself,

I have to be the one to stop him.

If I said I have no worries, I'd be lying,

but hearing Ms. Maria's
story made me think.

King Kyle fought the Dark Lord to the end,
without giving up, sacrificing himself.

My feeling of respect towards
King Kyle is stronger than

my fear that I'd face the same fate.

Kasel...

I think King Kyle wanted to keep fighting

because he wanted to protect
the people dear to him.

Just like King Kyle
fought without hesitation,

I, too, will fight without worry.

If I can protect everyone,
it doesn't matter what happens to me!

Of course it matters what happens to you!

Frey...

I also want to protect everyone.

But I'll never let you sacrifice yourself!

Even if we could protect everyone else,

I don't even want to imagine
a world without you!

Nobody deserves to be sacrificed--
not a single person!

Did you forget the promise
we made at the snow mountain?

You said you'd never
push yourself excessively!

Thanks for being concerned for me, Frey.

That said, I think it'll all be fine.

Besides, I trust you all.

Frey, Roi, Cleo, Miss Selene...

I have everyone on my side.

With your help, I'm sure I can
defeat the Dark Lord,

and I'm sure I won't die.

So Frey, don't worry, and follow me.

Fine. I... I believe in you, Kasel!

You do sometimes read the room, huh?

Not "sometimes"!

I really can't take my eyes off those two.

They're both always willing
to push their own needs aside

if they're worried about others.

So I can't take my eyes off them...

We have to protect them.
That's how I feel.

For me, you all are a beacon of hope.

Selene...

As long as I am with you all,
I feel we can smash any darkness.

So that's the World Tree...

Yes. Let's go..

This place truly deserves
to be called holy...

Are Kasel and his companions
already here...?

Is that the Holy Sword Aea...?

Riheet!

Now I can avenge my friends...

What are you talking about?

Dominix said the Holy Sword
can only be used by the heir!

We need to give that to Kasel!

Kasel? Where is he, then?

You can go ahead and wait
for someone to help you.

I have work to do.

No! Let go of the Holy Sword, Riheet!

Get out of my way!

I don't need anyone's help.

I will avenge the death of my friends.

I am certain.
The Holy Sword Aea is here...

Curse you, Lua!

I must restore my strength.

Then I, Malduk, will handle
the Holy Sword Aea.

Is that...?

My child, please...

What just happened?!

You're...

Riheet, is that...?

Yeah... The Demon that k*lled my friends!

Hiding the Holy Sword Aea at
the World Tree to keep it from us, huh?

Is this your doing?!

This is the power of
the Dark Lord, Angmund!

Hand over the Holy Sword.

If you want it so bad,
I'll lodge it into your body!

Don't go charging in alone!

Who asked for your help?

Oh, I remember. You're that
Dark Elf from the other day.

Your friends died quite terribly,
didn't they?

So bad, they weren't even worth
turning into the undead!

Riheet!

Now, let me hear your final scream.

Not on my watch!

Death is the most beautiful,
most precious thing in the world.

During that fateful moment,
even you, the lowliest creatures,

are ascended into a holy being!

Silence!

Vengeance!

You dare injure me...?!

An insect like you can never defeat me!

Riheet!

Die!

I will never relent...!

No matter what happens to me,
I will take you down!

How dare you!

Back off!

You did it...

Beating this guy won't
bring anyone back...

Not my friends, anyone...

Is that...?

The Dark Lord, Angmund!

The Holy Sword!

I'll take the Holy Sword back!

Demia!

Your Highness.

Step away from the princess!

Clause!

I'm sorry I arrived late.

Your Highness, are you injured?

I'm fine!

Who is that...?

That's the Dark Lord, Angmund.

Kasel!

This one wish

Connects you and me

I wait so impatiently for tomorrow

Because I know you now

A comfortable breeze passes over

A memory in a precious place

From the day I decided to walk with you

The promise that I hid in my heart

I want to feel that moment, just once

If I stretch my arm out

I should be able to reach
the tomorrow in my dream

This one wish

I gently engrave in my heart

The chain that connects the heart

Cannot ever be broken

The future which we should head to

Beckons us to come closer

I wait so impatiently for tomorrow

Because I know you now

The Holy Sword Aea is now
in the hands of the Dark Lord.

The end of the world creeps closer.

Kasel and his friends take a stand.

To protect the world. To protect everyone.

The Battle of

the World Tree
