01x19 - Hidden Determination

[bunniefuu]

One hundred years have passed
since the Battle of Galluah Plains,

where King Kyle defeated
the Dark Lord Angmund.

The Demons rise again,
threatening the world

and spreading fear and unrest to all.

On their way to the Windland Snow Mountain,
Kasel and Roi encounter an undead.

It was one of Roi's former companions.

Captain...

I'll lay you to rest!

Roi finds closure with his past.

Kasel and the others continue their journey
with renewed determination.

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

Hidden

Determination

That is a majestic mountain...
Not inviting in the slightest.

Yes.

We're finally going to meet Master Pavel!

Oh, I'm so excited!

The nocturnal sun is about
to cover up the moon.

We have to get Master Pavel
to unlock the seal before that happens.

Yes.

But seriously, how empty is this place?

It's not a surprise to hear Pavel
hasn't met anyone in 100 years.

Master Pavel is the sorcerer among sorcerers,

the super great, super, super sorcerer!

You don't get to meet him easily!

Master Lorraine said
Master Pavel lives in an ice cave.

I hope we don't miss it.
The scenery hasn't changed one bit.

There's supposed to be a clue, I think.

Umm, there's a log cabin along the path,

and then there's a rock
with a hole in it, I think?

Rock with a hole?
Well, let's try to find that log cabin first.

What's that sound...?

Here comes a big one!

Watch out!

Not on my watch!

Thanks.

Who would have thought there'd
be Demons way out here?

Perhaps this means the Demons
are gaining power.

Yeah...

All right, let's go.

What's with this wind?!

We can't even move forward!

Let's try to stick together.

Someone say something funny...

What?

We can't hear you! Speak up!

Someone say something funny!

Shut up! Stay quiet for a bit!

We can't keep going like this...

It's gotten better.

Yeah.

Is that the log cabin?

Hmm? Yeah, probably.

What should we do? Rest?

At the rate we're going, everyone's okay, right?
We're running out of time, so...

I'm fine, but...

I'm fine.

Me, too...

Frey?!

I'm sorry... I'm weighing you down.

Not at all. Kasel and Roi are bringing water.

I'll grind up some herbs. You rest.

Thank you...

It smells nice... Is it chamomile?

Frey, I think I know what's
causing your symptoms.

I forced Frey to push herself too hard.

I thought, since I'm okay,
everyone else should be, too.

Same with me. Not everyone
has the same stamina.

We should rest here tonight.

Yes.

We have to rest, for Frey's sake. But...

Frey, are you okay?

Yes, I feel a lot better now.

Come on, let's boil some water!

Your Highness, shouldn't we
depart when the sun rises?

Riheet said the attacker was a Demon
stronger than anything he has fought.

Also, the Dark Lord might be close to returning.

We must prepare a way
to fight back before he does.

A way to fight back?

I will travel to the Tower of
the Sage to meet Dominix.

We need his help.

I understand.

But what about Riheet? Should we take him
back to Orvelia, or leave him here...

It's up to him.

We wanted to oppress the oppressor
and take over the kingdom.

Is there no way to ask for his help anymore...?

Go to the Tower of the Sage.
Illya's lab was there.

The False Sword that she left
behind should be there, too.

I will find Illya's False Sword...!

Who are you?

Kasel?

I'm going to go get some fresh air.

Oh, the cold air feels good!

Are you feeling all right?

I'm fine. I feel pretty good, actually.

What about you though, Kasel?

I just kind of woke up...

Did you have a bad dream?

Actually, recently,
I've been having the same dream.

Someone calls out to me in my dream...

I can't see their face.

Is it a friend? Or an enemy?

I'm in a lot of pain...

It's been happening since I got the power
of the Holy Sword in Ogria Mountain.

Mr. Kasel enters the world as a hero
and rushes down on a path of w*r.

Further down the path, he disappears.

Perhaps the Holy Sword is trying
to tell me something.

But I can't understand what it is at all.

I might be the heir to the Holy Sword,

but I'm definitely not its "user" yet.

I hope you don't see scary dreams again.

What are you doing all of a sudden?

When we were small,
you used to have scary dreams a lot.

I used to pat you on the head
like this every time.

Then, we both thought long and hard about food.

What's for breakfast?

Chestnut stew? Bread with lots of berry jam?

After a while, the sun would rise,
and we'd forget about the dream.

So for now, let's think about food.

Like spiders?

Yes! A big, juicy deep-fried spider!

What?! You can eat spiders now?

No! Never in my life!

Wait! Don't move.

A snow bug!

Oh, wow!

I haven't seen one in such a long time!

There's another one!

Huh?

Hey, wait!

Frey!

Sorry.

Let's go back now.

When this is all over...

...let's go back to Orvelia together.

Yeah.

Hey.

Roi...

Where are you going so early in the morning?

What's this note you left?

I'll take the rest of the trip alone.

I'll take the rest of the trip alone.

You and Cleo were only told by Mr. Dominix
to take me to Master Pavel, right?

Maybe.

If the weather holds,
I can meet Master Pavel by myself. So...

So you want us to take Frey to Orvelia?

Frey always cares more about
others than herself, right?

I think the journey is only going
to get harder from here.

I don't want anything bad to happen to Frey...

It's to protect her.

You arrogant show-off!

Do you really think you can
do this by yourself?!

I'll trade in my life if I have to...

If you died, Frey would drown in sorrow
for the rest of her life.

"Why wasn't I able to protect Kasel?
Why did I let him go alone?"

You of all people should know
how hard it is to be left behind.

Is that really what you want for Frey?

It's true, Cleo and I were sent by Dominix.

But that's no longer
the only reason why we're here.

During our travels, we fought together,
and shared many things.

We're friends now.

Cleo and I are already committed to this.

Are you still going to go alone?

Roi...

Roi's right!

It's all thanks to Frey
that we're healthy like this!

Frey, I think I know
what's causing your symptoms.

You've almost used up all of your magic.

I guess there's no hiding the truth from you.

I knew it...

Idiot! People die from that, you know!

We felt like traveling got a lot easier
because the wind died down, right?

That was Frey.

Wait... So Frey was casting
magic on us the whole time?!

Exactly.

Frey made it possible for us
to push forward in those harsh conditions.

Frey is risking her life to protect us!

I was starting to notice it...

But I never thought she would go so far
as to push herself until she fainted.

I'm sorry, Frey... We were
totally taking you for granted.

No, it's okay.

When I saw this mountain, I made up my mind.

If something happens along the way,
I'll do everything I can to protect everyone,

so that the three of you
can continue the journey.

Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!

If you got knocked out
because of that, there's no point!

We can't continue this trip
if we're missing even one of us!

The four of us are together until the end!

I thought I was on this journey
to protect everyone...

But...

Instead of being the protector,
I was being protected the whole time.

That's right. You can fight
because we're with you!

Never try to go off on your own again!

Got it!

I woke up and everyone was gone,
I was surprised.

The weather is nice today.

Frey, I'm sorry. The only thing
on my mind was to move forward.

If I had paid attention to everyone,
I would have noticed right away...

No, I also...

I want the four of us to finish
this journey together.

So if anything happens,
let me know immediately.

Please promise me that you won't
push yourself excessively.

I promise. So...

Same applies to you, Kasel.

Y-Yeah... I understand.

Cleo.

Here.

Split up and pack each squad's luggage. Hurry!

Are you leaving? You will be missed.

The children were absolutely infatuated
with you, Princess Scarlet.

Here...

Thank you, Elise.

These sweets are truly delicious.

I will enjoy having them during my travels.

Let's make them together next time.

Me? Making sweets?

Elise, the princess does not...

I never imagined such a thing,
but it might be fun.

I can hold cooking tools
in my hands instead of a sword,

once the world achieves peace.

Once the world achieves peace? Is that tomorrow?

It's soon.

I don't want people like that
to suffer or cry any longer.

I will do everything in my power for that.

Do you know how to get
to the Tower of the Sage?

Why do you ask?

It's none of your business. Tell me now.

I will tell you. But first you must
clearly tell me why you wish to go.

The False Sword by Illya?!

Fine. I also have business
at the Tower of the Sage.

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

That's...

Is that the marker?

A cave!

We can finally meet Master Pavel!

Hello! Master Pavel?

Let's go inside.

Yeah.

Excuse us.

What is this?!

Kasel!

Dammit!

What is this...?

Are you...?

In order to unlock the final seal,
we meet Master Pavel.

However, we are suddenly
separated by a wall of ice.

What does Master Pavel want...?

The Solitary

Sorcerer
