[crickets chirping]

[WOMAN]

I'll make you pay.

You will pay!

Curse that demon!

[WOMAN]

I swear you'll regret this.

Come on!

Come on! Come to me!

[gasps]

[DEMON laughs]

Who dares to summon me

from such a lowly station?

Is it you?

Yes, I called you here

to grant my request.

I don't care if you're a demon.

You can have my soul

if you want.

Just please, I'm begging you.

k*ll them!

k*ll them!

[DEMON chuckles]

Very well.

I suppose granting your wish

will at least

relieve me of my boredom.

[gasps]

Thank you, sir.

And for my payment...

Mm-mm!

Nice.

That does complete our contract.

Your emotions were

absolutely tantalizing.

And for that, I shall do you

a great service.

That said,

I fear your payment

will only cover

about three days, at the most.

For an extension, well,

I suppose I can always

help myself to your prey.

[laughing]

I've been away from

the living world for too long.

I shall enjoy my time here

to the fullest.

[RIMURU]

The Kingdom of Filtwood.

A nation that borders

the Great Forest of Jura.

Shizu traveled there in response

to an urgent request.

[RIMURU] The request

was to defeat a demon

who had been revived.

[KNIGHT] Hello and welcome

to Filtwood Castle.

I can't tell you

what an honor it is

to meet the famous

Conqueror of Flames in person.

Follow me inside.

This way, please.

I'll show you

the reception hall.

[ALL gasping]

[ADVENTURER ]

Shizue Izawa!

[ADVENTURER ]

The Conqueror of Flames.

[ADVENTURER ]

I'm so glad she's here.

[SHIZU]

Wow.

They've managed to gather

quite a few adventurers.

[COUGAR]

Hey. Long time no see.

[SHIZU]

It's been a while, Cougar.

Guess this means

you answered the request.

[SHIZU]

It's not as if I could refuse.

[COUGAR chuckles] Come on,

you're always so serious, Shizu.

I'm sure if you wanted you could

have found a reason to ditch it.

[SHIZU] And yet, here you are,

talking to me.

[COUGAR] Whatever. We both know

I'm only here for the money.

Although, I'm already

starting to regret it.

Supposedly, there have been

ten adventurers

who've already d*ed.

[SHIZU]

How unfortunate.

But, hey, now that we've got

a champion on our side,

there's nothing to worry about.

[SHIZU]

I wouldn't go that far.

--[metallic clanging]

--Huh?

[ADVENTURERS murmuring]

[COUGAR]

It's the minister.

Thank you all for coming.

I have some unsettling news.

We have just received word

that our champions,

the two Silver Wings,

have passed away.

--[ADVENTURER ] What?

--[ADVENTURER ] Impossible.

[ADVENTURER ]

Are you serious?

[MINISTER] It appears

that their bodies were devoured,

leaving behind

only their clothes.

The request given to you is to

defeat the resurrected demon.

A similar account was found

in a century-old text.

The champion, Orthos.

[MINISTER]

Unfortunately, all we were able

to learn from this passage

is that the demon

was successfully sealed away

by the knight, Orthos.

And it does not mention

how he sealed it.

We have no choice

but to rely on you

if we hope

to defeat this demon.

[ADVENTURER ]

That's not enough information!

[ADVENTURER ] We're not

throwin' our lives away!

Listen, the Silver Wings

were heroes strong enough

to have titles.

If they failed,

there aren't enough lives

between us to survive this mess.

[SHIZU]

He's right.

Sorry, but this

is too dangerous.

You can count me out.

Please wait.

We're going to need help

from every person in this room

if we're going to

defeat this demon.

I don't care.

[ADVENTURERS gasp]

[murmuring]

Not good.

[MAN squeals]

Let's try to keep a cool head.

Besides, we do have

some good news,

and it's that we happen to know

what the demon is after.

And what's that?

There are remains that have been

laid to rest here,

in the castle's underground

reception hall.

Those remains are not human,

but the demon's body.

We believe his objective is to

recover what's left of his body

and complete his resurrection.

--Its remains?

--But why?

[murmuring]

--Huh?

--Ah!

Is that the famous

Shizue Izawa I see?

I will gladly answer

your questions.

[SHIZU]

If it's true that the demon

nearly drove this kingdom

to the brink of ruin

and defeated

the two Silver Wings,

it's possible that we might be

dealing with an Archdemon.

[MINISTER]

Uh...

[SHIZU]

Which brings me to my question.

[MINISTER]

Huh?

[SHIZU] I was wondering

if this demon has a name.

[ADVENTURERS murmuring]

[RIMURU] When a monster

is granted a name,

it becomes more powerful.

Any capable adventurer

knows this fact

and would choose

their next move accordingly.

No, there are no accounts

indicating that the demon

had a name.

[ALL sighing]

[SHIZU]

If he doesn't have a name,

then he can't be an Archdemon.

Still, it's hard to imagine

the Silver Wings

losing otherwise.

So what is your intention?

Gather all

the adventurers together

and then wait

for the demon to arrive?

[MINSTER]

Yes.

With the Silver Wings now gone,

this strategy is our only hope

of defeating the creature.

[SHIZU]

Except at the moment

we're being treated

more like enemies

than potential allies.

Well, screw that!

You guys can't force us

to serve this stupid country.

See ya.

[groans]

[ADVENTURERS gasp]

He's k*lled him.

[ADVENTURER ]

What the hell?!

[ADVENTURER ]

Hey! Why'd you do that?!

Quiet! Stop your whining

and take a good look

at this so-called man!

[ALL gasp]

[ADVENTURER]

You seein' this?

[COUGAR]

What's going on?

[SHIZU]

A lesser demon.

[growling]

[KNIGHTS grunting]

You see? The reason we've

isolated all of you here

is because there's a possibility

that you, too, have been

possessed by a demon.

I suggest you do as we say

and cooperate.

Should you choose

to do otherwise,

then we'll have no choice

but to see you as a demon

and cut you down.

[SHIZU]

Things are getting ugly.

This isn't good, Shizu.

It looks like these guys

are starting to panic.

Anyone in here could be

a demon in disguise.

Hell, that even includes us.

[SHIZU]

That's true.

Are they wanting us

to fight each other

to figure out

who the demons are?

[MAN laughing]

[ADVENTURER ]

Who is that?

[ADVENTURER ]

I've never seen him before.

[laughter continues]

What's with him?

[SHIZU]

I don't know.

But he's strong.

I think he's a mage, but I can't

detect any weaknesses.

Who is this man?

I didn't sense his presence

at all before.

[laughs]

You think you're so clever,

but I'm onto your little game.

You accuse us of being demons

in hopes of

sowing seeds of distrust.

[MINISTER]

Just what are you insinuating?

[DEMON]

Heh. Please excuse me.

It seems the request

is about to be completed

far more easily

than anticipated,

and I found it quite amusing.

Captain of the knights,

I believe you said

that if we do not cooperate

then we'll be seen as demons

and therefore cut down.

So go on, then.

[KNIGHT CAPTAIN]

Hmm?

I'm saying

that I have no intention

of cooperating with you people.

Nor will I be partaking

in this charade.

[KNIGHT CAPTAIN]

This is not a charade.

--[gasping]

--It is.

I already know

that you were the one

who summoned the lesser demon.

Shut up! You dare accuse me

of such a thing?

[laughs] You can deflect this

whichever way you like,

but I must say

your efforts are pathetic.

Do you think you can

just ignore our laws?!

[DEMON]

No.

If anything, you've just

saved me a great deal of effort.

[gasps]

The request stated that we

needed to slay a revived demon.

However, as you've

so aptly demonstrated,

there is no restriction

saying we cannot k*ll others.

I find this nation's laws

to be quite agreeable.

[SHIZU gasps]

Though I don't believe

we are the only ones

who should face consequences.

Hold on. Are you saying...

[KNIGHT CAPTAIN gasps]

[COUGAR gasps]

[SHIZU]

You there.

Are you planning on slaughtering

everyone here

just to find that demon?

That's the idea.

[SHIZU]

My name is Shizu.

Now, tell me who you are.

--[ALL gasp]

--[DEMON] Well, I go by Black.

It's a sort of nickname given

to me by an old acquaintance.

[SHIZU]

Black.

I will not stand by

and tolerate your actions.

[BLACK laughing]

In that case,

I suppose you'll have to be

the first one to go.

Ha!

[gasps]

[SHIZU] Your flames have

no effect on me.

Yes, so I see.

A superior spirit,

and it identifies with you.

This is a bit of a hassle,

but I can deal with it.

Though, I think I'll toy

with you before I k*ll you.

[SHIZU]

You can try.

[BLACK chuckles]

[SHIZU yells]

--She's amazing.

--I know.

I guess that's what the power

of a champion looks like.

Be careful.

[SHIZU]

Who are you really?

[BLACK laughs]

Shouldn't you be more focused

on your impending death?

Knowing my origins

will only bring you despair.

Honestly, I don't think

you can handle it!

[BLACK] Just give up.

It doesn't matter who I am.

And it certainly won't help you

win this fight.

[SHIZU]

That may be true.

But regardless, I can't

allow you to run free,

it's far too dangerous.

So be warned,

I'm about to get serious!

[BLACK laughs]

How fun.

[SHIZU] He'll regret

underestimating me.

[SHIZU]

It's time to end this.

Inferno Flame!

[ALL gasp]

[SHIZU gasps]

Seriously?

[BLACK snickering]

That was excellent.

You're quite remarkable.

I never imagined

that a mere human

could harness Ifrit's power.

It has been a long time since

I've felt this sort of thrill.

[SHIZU]

You are a demon.

Unbelievable.

I can't believe that fire att*ck

didn't hurt him.

[BLACK]

Oh. I wouldn't go that far.

Her flame att*ck did hurt,

and I'm actually

in a fair amount of pain.

But that's what makes

this fight interesting.

Now then, I think it's time

that we end this game.

[SHIZU gasps]

[BLACK]

What?!

Impossible!

That mask...

That time compression...

No. Could it be...

Infinity?

I get it.

I can only assume your mask

suppresses time.

To think there's a human

who can use such an item.

[laughs]

You are very intriguing.

On that note,

I think I shall take my leave

for the time being.

[ALL gasp]

[cheering]

[ADVENTURER ]

Well done!

[ADVENTURER ] Way to show

that demon how it's done!

I would just like to say

for the record

we had no intention of

neglecting any adventurer here.

It was all part of our plan to

lure the demon out from hiding.

[SHIZU] We're lucky

he decided to withdraw.

His strength...

There's no doubt he was

holding back during our fight.

And...

[BLACK]

Heh.

It seems the request is about

to be completed

far more easily

than anticipated.

[SHIZU]

Request?

But who would employ

such a powerful demon?

This is bad.

[SHIZU]

Demon Lord Leon once told me

about demons who were known

as the progenitors.

[LEON] These demons

are rather unorthodox,

so they can be

quite troublesome.

And in place of a name,

they're instead referred to

by their signature color.

The Red Progenitor

is known as Rouge.

The White Progenitor, Blanc.

And the Black Progenitor

is called Noir.

[SHIZU]

Black.

Noir.

[chuckles]

It couldn't be.

What reason would he have

to come here?

--[knocking]

--[SHIZU] Hmm?

Come in.

Excuse me.

His Majesty would like

an audience with you.

Would you please accompany me?

[SHIZU]

Of course.

[KNIGHT]

You were truly magnificent

in that fight earlier.

I can't believe the demon

turned tail.

[SHIZU]

I was fortunate that he did.

In truth, I might not have

survived otherwise.

[KNIGHT]

There's no need to be modest.

While it is a shame

he managed to escape,

we still have you here,

and that's very reassuring.

[SHIZU chuckles]

[SHIZU]

Underground?

Isn't this where

the demon's remains are?

This knight.

I don't think I saw him

in the reception hall.

So exactly how did he learn

about my fight

with the demon earlier?

[SHIZU gasps]

[SHIZU]

The minister and the king?

[doors slam]

[SHIZU gasps]

Thank you for coming,

Miss Shizu.

As king, I'm grateful

that you would offer

your life for this nation.

That's a very grand gesture.

[SHIZU]

What do you mean?

My, you're slow

to catch on, aren't you?

You must be feeling

utterly exhausted

after fighting that demon.

That's why it would be prudent

to sacrifice you now

before you can recover.

[SHIZU]

Huh. I see.

This was all a conspiracy.

Now you get it.

Feel free to call me Orthos.

[SHIZU gasps]

[SHIZU]

As in the imperial knight

who was hailed as a champion?

That makes sense.

You were never sealed away

at all, were you?

You were a demon

and an enemy of mankind.

[ORTHOS] What's more, I'm also

the current ruler of this land.

[SHIZU]

Your plan was to gather

the best adventurers

and eliminate them,

passing them off as demons.

Then you, a true demon,

would gain more power.

It would seem

that the Kingdom of Filtwood

is ruled by a horde of demons,

and the king is nothing

more than a puppet.

[ORTHOS chuckles]

I watched your fight earlier

through the minister's eyes.

While the demon you fought

was powerful,

he ended up being

a disappointment.

Your mask, though.

Now that intrigues me.

It seems to be very valuable,

which means

I should like to own it.

I will drink your blood,

devour your flesh,

and ultimately,

I shall make your power my own.

Doesn't that sound nice?

[SHIZU]

Don't make me laugh.

[laughs]

Oh, please.

Without your magic

at full strength,

you're practically helpless.

You fool.

You can't possibly win.

[SHIZU]

This would have been better

if I had a chance to prepare.

But I have no choice!

[ORTHOS]

Heh!

[SHIZU gasps]

Well, it seems you have

some strength left.

If you can injure me,

then you must be even stronger

than the Silver Wings.

[SHIZU]

So you were the one?

Yes, indeed.

Though they both escaped

before I could finish them off.

For you, I shall make things

much more difficult.

--[BOTH snicker]

--[SHIZU gasps]

Did you know,

there are a few different ranks

among the demon race?

I'm the legendary class.

What you would call

a Greater Demon General.

Also known as an Archdemon!

[SHIZU gasps]

[SHIZU groans]

[ORTHOS]

Do you understand now?

As a man-made hero,

the voices

of this nations' people

are what give me power.

And that power is

what afforded me a name,

thus allowing me to become

a named being on my own terms.

Exactly like that supreme being

who reigns up at the top.

[SHIZU]

Wait, what?

[ORTHOS laughs]

It's nothing

a human like you

needs to worry about.

--[SHIZU groaning]

--[ORTHOS laughing]

This is pathetic!

And here I thought

you were supposed to be

an almighty champion.

[SHIZU rasping, choking]

A pity.

You should have let

Ifrit out to play for a bit.

Even though all it would

really do is prolong your death.

--[laughs]

--[MINISTER laughs]

[KING chuckles]

[SHIZU]

I'm out of magic,

but Ifrit still has

some strength left.

If I let it rampage,

it should be enough

to defeat even an Archdemon.

[BLACK]

Giving up so soon?

[ORTHOS]

Huh?

[BLACK] If you're strong enough

to do me harm,

then it would be disappointing

for you to die

at the hands of this weakling.

[SHIZU gasps, coughs]

It's you.

[BLACK] It's my policy

to always keep my promises.

[SHIZU gasps]

[BLACK chuckles]

The knight captain!

How?!

Our knights are renowned

for their unrivaled abilities.

I'd hardly dare count

their abilities as "unrivaled."

Lesser demons

aren't that strong.

Then again, it's apparent

that you and I

have vastly different standards

when it comes to power.

[KING growls]

You may be a powerful demon,

but there's no way you are

a match for the three of us.

After the Conqueror of Flames,

you're next.

Just you wait and see.

[MINSTER gasps]

[KING wails]

Impossible! But how?!

We have the protection

of the Greater Demon

General himself!

--[gasping]

--[slashing]

--[SHIZU gasps]

--[ORTHOS growls]

[BLACK] That's enough

of your squealing, pig.

[SHIZU] I didn't think

that he had actually left

the castle grounds,

but I never expected he'd be

hunting the demons in disguise.

[ORTHOS laughs]

Don't get cocky

because you k*lled my puppets.

It'll take more than that

to defeat an Archdemon.

A lower demon like you

could never possibly--

[ORTHOS groaning, choking]

Who's the lower demon, exactly?

For a dependent of Red,

you're quite overconfident.

That's why you can't judge

how powerful your opponents are.

[ORTHOS choking]

No, impossible...

You... You can't do this...

[BLACK]

You have disgraced yourself

by aligning

with these lower demons.

You don't deserve

to live anymore.

I think I shall

destroy your soul.

That way there's no possibility

of you ever being revived!

[ORTHOS rasping]

No!

[screaming]

No!

[BLACK chuckles]

[birds chirping]

[RIMURU]

After that, all the demons

in the Kingdom of Filtwood

were purged.

The deaths of

the king and minister

were proclaimed to be the work

of a demon named Black.

And the records indicated

that Shizu was the champion

who destroyed the demon.

Now, as long as you keep

your story straight,

it will save me the trouble

of having to come

after you in the future.

[COUGAR] What was the deal with

that demon named Black anyway?

[SHIZU] I think we're

better off not knowing.

If you say so.

It's like people always say,

"ignorance is a blessing"

or whatever, right?

Well, I'm heading

in this direction.

Take care of yourself, Shizu.

[SHIZU]

I will. Until we meet again.

[SHIZU]

Well, then...

[SHIZU] Perhaps one day,

someone will be able to handle

that demon better than I did.

[RIMURU]

And so, time passed.

[BLACK chuckles]

It seems that mask

has appeared again.

I suppose the rumors are true.

And the slime monster--

he's very interesting.

[snickering]

[RIMURU] And even though

the whole thing

was one-sided and silent,

that's how Rimuru and Black

had their first encounter.

Black would later be summoned

by Rimuru himself,

and would receive a new name.

Diablo.
