THE CLASH OF LOVE
Needle Thousand!
I have no intention of sacrificing myself!
I intend to save Lord Hadlar instead!
Save?
At this rate, Lord Hadlar will die. No one can stop that.
But King Vearn's Supercharged Dark Magic may be able to save Lord Hadlar.
I am going to defeat all of you myself and then go to King Vearn to beg a favor.
So that he will save Lord Hadlar!
Is that something you...
Yes, this is of my own volition. I'm sure Lord Hadlar will be angry.
But Lord Hadlar's survival is my greatest wish!
Albinass...
If you feel sympathy, then stop resisting and die quickly...
oh, kind little Maam.
Needle Thousand.
You're like a rat.
But I can't waste any more time on the likes of you!
The queen is a piece that rarely moves.
But I'll show you the form I take when I fight at full strength!
Hands?!
So that's your true form?!
The queen is the most powerful piece in chess.
In order to hold back that power I normally disable my hands and feet.
Now that I've taken this form, you have no chance of winning!
So fast!
My best spell is Kasizz.
Needle Thousand works by fragmenting this spell and emitting it from my body.
But when I use my hands, I can focus the energy in one spot.
I call it Legionsphere!
Midheal will hardly delay the inevitable.
It's strong! Too strong!
With that much power, Albinass might really defeat all of us alone.
But...
Please, Albinass...
What is it?
I don't want to fight you!
Please reconsider!
If you're going to beg for your life, at least admit it.
The emotion that drives you to such a decision...
It can't just be loyalty, can it?!
What you...
What you feel for Hadlar is...
Are you going to say that I love him?
Spare me your nonsense. I am neither male nor female.
I am the queen! A mere chess piece!
A piece is a tool of war! It does not deserve to love anyone!
Albinass!
Silence! Stop trying to buy time to heal yourself!
That's good. Stand still, just like that.
It's no good! No amount of convincing will work!
They're lost in their own emotions and beyond reason!
What can I... What can I do?
Good girl, Maam. Now go to the afterlife.
Legionsphere!
Maam...
But Maam...
there are times when love and kindness aren't enough to protect people.
Just as strength without justice is powerless,
so too is justice without strength.
That's right!
I can't let myself be defeated here!
That's right. I also...
I also have...!
Amdo!
Albinass, I will defeat you!
I also have people precious to me that I have to protect.
Just like you do!
That's Lon Beruk's...
That's right! Like Hyunckel's weapon, this Dark Armour Fist turns into armour!
And it makes me completely immune to magic!
Until now, I couldn't bring myself to use it...
because it's far too powerful!
But I can't allow you to defeat me here!
I'll fight to the fullest, too...
Albinass!
REFRACTOR FIST
NEEDLE THOUSAND
Ridiculous! Take this!
This is why Lon Beruk told me to wear it on my non-dominant hand!
It especially enhances the defense of the side it's on!
And with this Metal Fist...!
It works!
Even against Orichalcum, I can shatter it if I have this much speed and hardness!
What?!
Got you!
Did you think you could win just by wielding that?
Why can't I...?!
So fast... At this rate, I'll lose!
But Albinass is made of Orichalcum.
My Refractor Fist won't work!
I'll use the other skill Grand Master taught me!
The Warrior Master Style Tiger Shatter Fist!
This attack is the most physically destructive attack I know.
You focus all your Aura into one point and unleash it at a high velocity.
But you mustn't use it unless absolutely necessary.
The massive force it causes can reflect back on you.
With my Dark Armour Fist protecting me, I should be able to use it!
Oh? So you intend to stop flailing around and want to use a single killing strike?
It will not change a thing.
I still intend to try!
Even a brute who downs a bear in one strike
can die to a swarm of bees.
Do you understand?
Th-This is...!
S-So strong!
This is your answer, Maam!
I'll keep hitting you while moving at a high speed!
That's all I need to do to slowly eat away at your life!
This fight is already over!
I see you've run out of strength.
You've proven quite troublesome. I'll praise you for that.
The queen truly is strong!
But why?
With this sort of power, why didn't Albinass use it before?
This battle could have been won much sooner...
So why?
The queen is a piece that rarely moves.
The queen is indeed the strongest piece.
But its extreme mobility can be its downfall.
That's it! That's my only option!
You've accepted your fate!
Then, as you wish, I shall pierce your chest!
Goodbye, Maam!
I'll quickly send your friends after you!
H-How...?!
You're fast, but even you can't dodge that many projectiles.
And due to your extreme speed, the collision caused overwhelming damage!
That's the queen's weakness!
On my back, you could only attack from the front.
You charged straight into the fragments I shattered!
You've lost, Albinass!
N-Not yet!
It's not over yet!
Forgive me, Albinass!
This is my final attack!
Warrior Master Style Secret Attack...
Tiger Shatter Fist!
I've won!
Come no closer.
I have lost.
It seems that underestimating you cost me my life.
Albinass.
With my core penetrated, my body will soon explode.
Forgive me, Albinass.
I didn't have a choice.
You need not feel sorry.
If you hadn't won, I would have killed you.
You were just stronger.
Not just in power, but in your drive to help others.
That's all it is.
It's a shame. It's regrettable.
It seems, in being a piece that was created,
my will could never be as strong as a human's.
Lord Hadlar...
I wanted him to live.
For even a moment, even a second longer.
Even if it cost me the life he gave me.
Now go from here.
And witness in my place...
Lord Hadlar's final glory.
Albinass, you were more than just a chess piece.
What you felt for Hadlar... I'm sure it was...
what humans call "love."
Bloody Scryde!
D-Dammit!
I-I won't lose! I still haven't lost!
Hym, you weren't weak. You were just unlucky.
You faced me right after I awakened to a new power.
Hyunckel!
You defeated Albinass?
Thanks to Lon Beruk's Dark Armour Fist.
I just defeated Hym.
It looks like they're trying to buy time for Hadlar to fight Dai.
Yes.
Let's hurry back!
What's that?!
It's Popp.
He's fighting...
The knight, Sigma!
Sigma has the Mirror of Shahal that can reflect any spell!
If Popp uses Medroa...
Are you worried about Popp?
Yes.
Don't be. Even I couldn't easily defeat Popp now.
Even at a disadvantage, not even a Royal Guard-level enemy could beat him.
You're right. We should trust Popp's abilities.
Maam, why are you so concerned for Popp?
If it were me or Dai, you wouldn't feel this conflicted.
But you and Dai are really strong!
You always pull through on your own!
But Popp...
Popp's strong, but...
he's always so careless without help.
It's hard to watch at times.
That's it!
That's how I've always looked at Popp!
That's why Popp tried so hard to get stronger!
It was because of me!
Maam.
Hyunckel.
Remember what Popp said?
Your power is love.
Your love saved me, too.
I'm truly grateful.
But there are two kinds of love.
Loving someone to help them and loving someone for yourself.
Loving someone for yourself?
You always love others out of a desire to help them.
You have the spirit of Love.
But after this battle is over,
you'll eventually come to love someone for yourself.
Like how Miss Amy loves you?
Though I can never reciprocate her love,
I can somewhat understand how she feels.
Love is an emotion beyond control.
It can at times lead people astray. Like how Baran and I fell to evil.
Like how Merle and Albinass were willing to sacrifice themselves.
Maam.
If you feel any emotion for Popp that you can't describe,
then go find out for yourself.
Leave Dai to me.
Hyunckel...
Popp is still waiting for an answer.
Thank you, Hyunckel!
Maam... The angel of Love who gave me light.
Go on and find love for yourself. Not just for everyone else.
And find happiness.
I can never bring you happiness.
To be honest I was clumsy
omoeba boku wa bukiyou de
And it took me forever to get here
shouganaikurai tomawarishita
I used even loneliness as a weapon
kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite
I searched the dungeon for a simple answer
tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon
Even if I cast aside Rightness and kindness
tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo
I just want to be there for you
tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai
To call out your name
kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga
Is harder than any magic spell
ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute
Even though you're so close to me
konnani mo chikaku ni itanoni
I love you
aishiteiru
I finally realized it
imasara kizuitanosa
To call out your name
kimi no namae wo yobu tame ni
Must be the reason I was born
boku wa kitto umarete kitannda
I shake off the clinging night
shigamitsuku yoru furihodoite
And go to see you
ai ni iku
Right now to where you are
ima sugu kimi no moto e
The battle between Maam and Albinass ended tragically,
but Maam's strong will led her to victory.
Meanwhile, Popp fights an evenly matched battle with Sigma,
but he has no counter against Sigma's Mirror of Shahal which reflects magic.
As the two continue to face off, both sides attempt a gambit.

"Victory or Annihilation"
The adventure continues!
