SORCEROUS STABBER ORPHEN

AN UNEXPECTED ASSASSIN

That's the Tower of Fangs.

The city of Tafflem is there.

So I'll become a sorcerer there.

The school is behind the tower.

Seems like you know I'm here.

I'm too famous.

No one can stop me.

Because this is an order from that person.

As long as it is that person's order,
I definitely won't stop.

Another elder k*lled?

That's five now.

The Supreme Executive Department will be
completely annihilated at this rate.

Who do you think is running this tower?

Catch the k*ller now!

Don't you see? This is the worst crisis
in the history of the Tower of Fangs.

There must be insurgents.

Investigate thoroughly!

It's fine to be a little rough.

For me, this is all
because of those crusaders.

O Flames!

O Wind!

Hark, o Light!

O Chaos!

Someone's here.

Is that you, Leticia?

Forte, is what in this report true?

Was Azalie really defeated?

There's something
more important than Azalie now.

Another elder has been k*lled.

And the k*ller is in our network.

Another elder k*lled?

Targeting the elders like that,
the assassin must be good.

The k*ller was slim, not very tall,

wearing black, had dark hair.

It's confirmed that he or she
is a sorcerer from the tower.

Also, Heartia sent us updates
on his investigation in Totokanta.

Any leads?

The last person our Master met
was Krylancelo.

After that, we haven't heard from him.

Just like he's disappeared
from this world.

Is it possible that Krylancelo...

It could be him
who's been k*lling the elders for revenge.

If that's the case, we can't
let other parties take him away.

I am to inherit
the legacy of Childman's class.

Forte, you...

There's no going back to the old days.

Master!

Found you!

Majic, what did you say about my food?

No, I only said...

"Even cat food is better", probably.

Death sentence!

Beaten so badly, again.

So, your female companion got mad
and wrecked the Ranger's Stronghold

just because someone said
her food was bad?

Yes...

According to the rules,
we should hand you over to the Church.

However, you are...

sorcerers.

Sorcerers in the hands of the Church would be
considered lucky even if tortured to death.

That's true.

But I don't have to report this.

I didn't see anything
and didn't get any report.

Don't make more troubles for us!

Go back to the Tower of Fangs!

It's gone.

Hey!

Hey, what's wrong with you?

He's dead.

I can't sense anyone else here.

k*lling him that fast
without me knowing anything about it,

he must be an assassin, and a great one.

Who's the successor?
WHO'S THE SUCCESSOR?

Who's the successor?

What's wrong with Orphen?

He seems weird, probably hiding something.

Danger!

Orphen!

We must help him!

Hang on, it's dangerous!

That's right. It's dangerous!

Up there!

I unsheathe thee, Sword of Light!

It worked.

I unsheathe thee, Sword of Light!

You should be thanking Leki.

So it's true.

Someone took a Deep Dragon
from the forest.

Ah yes...

Orphen!

Master, you are okay!

I thought I was going to die.

How could that brat know
how to use such magic?

I was worried you'd really died.

Are you kidding me, little brat?

Right, I am a little brat.

I dance within thee,

Heavenly Castle!

Teleportation?

No matter how shocked you are,

once agitated,
your weakness will be shown.

I flip thee, Hail of Glass!

Orphen! Majic!

We're fine. Just some cuts.

I meant to hurt all of you.

But seems like magic doesn't really
work on Dragons.

Claiomh.

Keep it focusing on him.

What does that mean?

Now the most powerful one here
is that black furry little thing.

The second one is him.

What are you saying, Orphen?

Stop asking!

His magic is many times
stronger than mine.

That's because you're too weak.

Teleportation

is a magic that needs the special structure
developed by Childman.

How do you know it?

That's the most powerful magic
in the Tower of Fangs, right?

Yet I know how to use it,
better than you do even.

And you say you're the successor?

What?

That was you?

That's right.

That person wants me to bring you back.

That person. What are you talking about?

What a surprise.

I didn't think you'd be this weak.

Leki, do something! Anything!

Idiot! You didn't think
I was expecting this?

Even a dragon which is really powerful
can't possibly do 2 things at the same time.

In this case,
that means attack and defense.

That's right. It can't attack
and defense at the same time.

I unsheathe thee, Sword of...

Don't!

Light!

He missed.

How?

You're really are the students
from Childman's class.

Being outnumbered has put me
at a disadvantage.

Be gone.

Leave Krylancelo to me.

Don't you follow me!

His face...

That is...

How come there are two of you?

I don't think
we've been properly introduced.

This is Claiomh,

daughter of a rich man in Totokanta.

This is Majic, my student for now.

The one Claiomh's holding is her dear pet,
a bloodthirsty beast.

It's Leki.

And this is Leticia,

my senior when I was
in the Tower of Fangs.

Anyway, it's only been five years,
but you've changed a lot.

Are you really Krylancelo?

I'm Orphen.

So you grew up in this place, Orphen?

Yes. When the 4 major cities
of the continent became 5 major cities,

Tafflem was incorporated.

The carriage there, stop!

I'm a Superior Sorcerer of
the Tower of Fangs, Leticia Mecredy.

I'm handling that case.
Inside are my acquaintances.

Yes. Please go on.

So well guarded.

There have been
many assassinations in town.

Assassination?

Yes.

Who've been assassinated?

Sorcerers.

Even the elders of the Tower of Fangs.

The elders?

The ones who work
in the executive department of the tower.

Not members of a retirement house.

But were they k*lled
in the city of Tafflem?

Why did they come to town?

Most of the people who work in the tower
live in Tafflem.

Having a house in town
is a symbol of status and class.

Our Master has a house too. Look!

Childman.

Still no lead?

Three were k*lled last week.
Two this week.

At this rate,
the remaining 15 will all be k*lled.

Could this be the Kimluck Church's doing?

Forte used his intelligence network
to find the criminal and let me know.

Did the Childman's network find him?

Yes, the intelligence network that records
everything in this continent in real time.

Even though Forte's network
is not as good as Master's,

it still covers all the things
happen around the tower.

It found the guy from yesterday, right?

Yes. The k*ller of the elders
appeared out of the blue.

Forte thought he was Krylancelo.

Heartia, as it stated in your report,
he is back.

The Successor of the Razor's Edge.

After that, did the Master
pick his successor?

No.

However, what I saw at the scene
can only mean he was k*lled.

But only Krylancelo or Azalie
could've k*lled Master.

Azalie had been defeated by Master.

Master disappeared.

And Krylancelo now shows up in Tafflem.

Tissy, didn't you always say
your dream was to have your own house?

Yes, but not my own house.

My own family, to be precise.

No offense, but...

Miss Leticia, don't you have a family?

Not by blood.

It's the fate
of the sorcerers in the tower.

Fate?

Most of the sorcerers in the tower
are orphans.

So am I. No family.

After all, Master is always
different from the others.

What's that supposed to mean?

No, nothing!

The training in the tower is very unusual,
leading to high death rate among the students.

No normal family would let their children
go to such a place.

A cat!

It's called Nora, my old cat.

Wild cat?
Note: "Wild Cat" in Japanese
sounds similar to "Nora"

Note: "Wild Cat" in Japanese
sounds similar to "Nora"

Note: "Wild Cat" in Japanese
sounds similar to "Nora"
It's "Nora"!

Long time no see, Nora!

It doesn't remember me!

Most of the rooms are occupied
by my students.

You guys stay here.

You haven't changed at all.
This place is full of weird things.

So what?

This Orphen lost a tooth!

That's me when I was seven.

Is that the age
we begin to lose our baby teeth?

No idea!

As I recall, I was practicing my
fighting skills when that tooth fell out.

Fighting?

Just some basic training for beginners.

They'd tie up your hands
and keep hitting you with a stick.

And that's just basic training?

To build our mental strength.

Black sorcerers have to be trained
from such young age?

The Tower of Fangs is
a rather unusual place.

But why are there so many photos
of Orphen in Leticia's photo album?

Right, she's basically my family.

The three of us had been together
since the orphanage.

Three?

Tissy and Azalie.

They'd taken care of me
since I was just an infant.

Later on, they took us three to the tower
and put us in the same class.

Orphen was so cute!

I never thought Master had such a phase.

What do you think I am?

I thought you were the same
as you are now.

Idiot.

Going out at this hour?

I have to tell Forte
you are not the k*ller.

Otherwise, I wouldn't go
into the tower now.

Then wait until tomorrow.

Finally you're here. I don't want to be
under the control of the tower anymore.

You will stay here, won't you?

I can no longer go back.

What? You and Forte are the same!

Why are all men like this?

I have to tell Tissy everything.

About Azalie, and about Childman.

This is his wish.

You're lying. Childman...

He wanted to k*ll me.

No. Why did he go after you himself?

He wanted to turn back to his old form.

Why did he let you switch
his consciousness that easily?

He could have stopped you.

He was hoping he could save you himself.

You're lying. No way!

I always wanted to be
good enough for him.

Will Tissy cry?

No, she'll probably be really mad.

Never thought Childman's
Spiritual Domination would be used here.

For an elite from the Tower of Fangs,
this is just a piece of cake.

I could get such a big house if I wanted.

But with some conditions.

First, you have to come back to the tower
with the same power as before.

The elders are no fools.

If they find out you're not
as strong as before,

you'll become useless to them.

Even if you're still as strong,

the fact that you left the tower
5 years ago can't be changed.

With such a misstep,

it'd take you years to get on the elders'
good side and achieve the citizenship.

Who the hell are you?

Who am I?

I am the assassin of this town.

You're saying Krylancelo is the assassin?

Yes.

Who else could that be?

I don't wanna play word games with you.

Neither do I.

Are you the ghost of my past?

That's right. I am Krylancelo.

And you now call yourself Orphen, right?

If I ask you "Do you believe in destiny?"

How will you answer?

Although we can't believe in appearance

Sometimes there's a surprise

It always begins suddenly

All is prepared
Let's go today

Look up at the sky

Find a light that shocks the soul

Even when you can't hear my voice

Just keep calling my name around me

My tears will become magic

Go across the horizon
Where we can't go back

The unknown tomorrow is waiting for us

Master, what kind of a student were you?

Take 100 magic hits from me,
then I'll tell you.

Master, you're so cruel.

Master, you're so cruel.
