"Hope," you say?
Magic that converts the emotions of others into one's own strength?
Unbelievable!
It seems I was underestimating you a little, Percival.
But all you managed to do was buy a little time,
and the situation remains unchanged.
This city will soon meet its end, and the ritual will begin.
YOUNG HEROES
Let none escape and sacrifice them all!
We must activate the Coffin of Eternal Darkness at all costs!
No! Don't eat me!
What?
Darak, are the sacrifices ready?
The ritual is well past ready.
The thing is... I don't know what's happening...
What is the matter?
W-We are suddenly under a mysterious attack,
and the creatures are dropping one after the other!
By whom? How many are there?
I don't know.
Nothing is clear about them, neither their identity nor their numbers!
Hey, what happened?!
Did you do this?
The monsters are getting defeated!
Could it be an order of Holy Knights?
Sin must've called in backup. He's incredible!
Ironside, you lose!
Indeed, it appears so.
It's amazing how much you have grown in such a short period, Percival.
I am sure Varghese would have liked to see your heroic actions as well.
You have no right to say that when you killed Grandpa!
Yes.
Even though it was my mission, I did. I killed Varghese with my own hands.
Not only that, I tried to kill you, my son, twice.
But I will probably never see you again.
I will be held responsible for the failure of my mission and likely be executed.
It is what I deserve.
Though I only followed my lord's orders, I have strayed off the moral path.
My son, allow me one last close look at your face.
So I can at least picture your face just before I die.
Don't let him trick you, Percival!
That man is full of black lies!
He lacks any feelings of apology, regret, repentance, or love.
Now that his ritual has been interrupted, he's only thinking of killing you.
What a relentlessly annoying little girl!
That is right.
I will surely crush the life out of you here and now, Percival!
I won't let you get away!
What incredible speed!
Everyone's faith in me gives me strength!
Stop running around!
I still feel numb!
- Smoke. - Smoke.
A smoke screen?
Do not underestimate me! I can easily predict your moves!
Percy, don't try to engage in a real fight with that bastard.
Keep in mind that he's at least ten times stronger than you imagine.
As long as Ironside is near the Coffin, our range of movement will be limited!
You're right. If only we could pull him away from the Coffin somehow.
Donny!
Huh? What is it?
How much longer do you plan to run from me?!
All right! I'll end it with my next attack!
Percival, you cannot defeat me.
I know that.
But...
But I'm the one who will win this match, Ironside!
We need to grab one at least.
So that's what Ironside looks like.
That's Percival's father!
How dare you, Percival. Despite being a good-for-nothing failure.
Do you really think you have thwarted our plans with this?
All I have to do is kill you all
and restore the Coffin of Eternal Darkness once more.
And anyway, there are more than enough people
to sacrifice in Britannia outside Sistana.
In the end, all you managed to do was momentarily halt the ritual.
I will surely crush the life out of you here.
Unfortunately, this is where you have to stop, Ironside.
Wh-Who is that? Is he with Ironside?
Where did he come from?
Unhand me, Mortlach.
I am in a terribly bad mood.
Don't get upset.
I understand that you're frustrated about the ritual being ruined.
And your sense of duty to stop one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse
you just so happened to stumble upon to slip away.
But the problem is
the mysterious enemy that wiped out all the creatures in the city.
Did you uncover their identity?
Nope. But I can make a guess.
What you summoned were greater-level creatures.
The enemy has the ability to annihilate them all in an instant.
If there's someone with that kind of power, they've got to be...
one of the legendary heroes, the Seven Deadly Sins,
or someone on par with them.
Did he just say the Seven Deadly Sins?
Impossible!
If so, we're the ones in danger.
I think it'd be wise to pull back for now.
We have no other choice.
I suddenly feel drained.
I'm completely worn out.
I feel like I might lose my mind.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Phew, I thought I'd die!
He did die once, though.
But we stood our ground against an enemy way stronger than us!
We didn't stand our ground.
We didn't even hold a candle to him.
Without Percival, we'd all be wiped out by now.
And let's not forget, you ran away on your own when things were toughest!
I-I feel bad about it, okay?
Nah.
We all worked together to stop him!
Donny, Nasiens, and Anne, you made it all possible!
Anne!
Father!
Thank goodness you're safe.
I'm sorry.
I didn't try to understand your reasons for obeying that man.
Mission accomplished, huh?
- Sin! - Sin!
Hey, tell me, who defeated the monsters?
What sort of backup did you bring in?
Did you really fetch those legendary criminals?
Want me to tell you?
- Yes, please! - Yes, please!
I called my forest buddies.
What?
You think we'll believe that lie...?
Your forest buddies are amazing!
What kind of animals are they? Are they big? What color are they?
They're red and bigger than you.
- You're just making this up, aren't you? - Wow!
Speaking of big, my cape! Look!
What a scatterbrain.
It's back to normal now!
It had gotten huge just a little while ago, though!
I think it must have changed size in response to your magic.
Your back is showing!
Percival!
I'm glad he's his usual self.
Percival just crossed swords for real
with his own father, even though he was the one who killed his grandpa.
Oh no!
Wh-What? What is it?
Poo is on its way.
Go somewhere else and take care of business already!
It's on its way!
His mind really is a blank, isn't it?
I'm not so sure.
That bastard...
looked like Grandpa.
And so you returned in shame,
Sir Ironside.
How interesting.
The Four Knights of the Apocalypse, did you say?
Your Majesty, I don't believe this is a laughing matter.
When you meet him next, would you tell him this?
"Try to defeat me, the Arthur Pendragon, if you can."
Still, your failure this time is disappointing.
You know that this was a perfect golden opportunity
to collapse our greatest current enemy, Liones.
How baffling that someone of your caliber would fail so utterly against a child
even if he is one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
Or should I say, against one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse,
who happened to be a child?
I have no intention of making any excuses for myself.
Your Majesty, punish me as you will.
You know, that's what I like about you.
Since ancient times until the Holy War 16 years ago,
humans have been caught up in conflicts with other races
and have suffered.
That's why I created a place of peace
where no one suffers, no one grieves, and no one is endangered
by any threat or catastrophe...
This place that is Camelot.
Ironside, I want to free not just this kingdom
but all of Britannia for humans.
But the Seven Deadly Sins
and the recently emerged Four Knights of the Apocalypse,
as long as these threats exist, no land will ever have true peace.
You understand, don't you?
I doubt you're willing to give up the blessings of Camelot, either.
So don't disappoint me with silly mistakes.
I'm the one who values you more than anyone else does, after all.
The numbness...
How do you feel...
now that the poison has been completely drained?
Your Majesty!
I assure you that I will live up to your expectations next time.
I will now go to Britannia once more and deal with Percival...
No. No need.
I want to ask you to do something more important.
We are always one step behind in this war.
Much to my frustration...
Isn't that right, Merlin?
There is only one reason for that.
They have the Vision,
and our only way to know the future is by stealing a look at it.
Do you want me to seize the Vision?
Too bad, you've got it wrong!
They will naturally be on guard against that.
So seizing the Vision is rather difficult, to be honest.
But I found something better.
Something better, Your Majesty?
Find me a bride.
What?
Without you all,
I can't even imagine what Sistana would be like now.
I can't thank you enough.
But because of that bastard, the houses got wrecked.
Houses can be rebuilt.
What matters much more is that
not a single inhabitant of the city became a victim.
Speaking of which,
where did the order of Holy Knights that you fetched go?
My forest buddies, you mean. They probably headed back for breakfast.
Come on, tell us the truth.
Forget it.
Percival.
I hear you're Ironside's son.
It must've been hard for you.
I'm fine. All I did was stop him because I wanted to.
Mister, you know him?
Yes.
He was an acquaintance of my wife, to be precise.
They both served as Holy Knights together under King Arthur in Camelot.
According to my wife,
he was a noble and upright man, filled with a strong sense of justice.
That bastard?
He was nothing like I'd expected him to be.
One more thing.
I have a favor to ask of you all.
Father.
Huh?
- Huh?! - Wha...
Hear me out, I'm serious...
about becoming a Holy Knight.
Fighting with Ironside made me painfully aware...
of just how much of an inexperienced, incompetent, and immature novice I am.
So, I want to be able to protect what is dear to me, even by myself,
one day by becoming a great Holy Knight.
That's also why I want to go on a journey for training.
I understand how you feel very well.
However, I won't permit you to travel alone!
Why can't you--
Does that mean...
Let's journey together, Anne!
Well, it's not like I have a problem with a lively journey.
We already considered her one of us anyway.
You've really grown to be just like your mother.
Right down to that stubborn personality,
competitive spirit, and everything!
I have your eyebrows, Father!
Go, Anghalhad.
Your father will always be cheering you on.
Hey, Sin, what exactly is Ironside trying to do?
Who knows?
The only thing I know for sure is
that he'll cross paths with you again, sooner or later.
Because I'm one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse that will destroy the world?
That's right.
Don't look so glum.
If you're worried, then become stronger.
So you can knock down both your dad and your fate.
Can you do that?
Yeah! I'll try!
With all of you with me, I feel like I can become a whole lot stronger!
Hey, Percival!
What are you dragging your feet for?
We'll leave you behind!
Wait for me! I'm coming!
