Who's that?
That voice, is it Mr. Ardd?
That attire!
I am Ardbeg, a Holy Knight in the service of King Arthur!
I have long awaited this day and this moment!
I will punish all of you together,
you demon clan!
Mr. Ardd is a Holy Knight of King Arthur?!
T-The demon clan?
The very clan that terrorized Britannia during the Holy War?
THE CORNERED
Percival, were you aware of that?!
Uh-huh!
Dolchomonte just told me.
All of the demon clan in this village
are those who consistently refused to participate in the Holy War.
So what?
What matters is whether they belong to the demon clan or not.
That's all.
They should be taught a lesson
on just how many people became victims in the Holy War
16 years ago.
That is...
Rosko, basura, merushito, metetoma!
W-What just happened?
The entire demon clan here has vanished!
This is a magic item that seals those bastards away,
known as the "Amber of the Four Archangels."
It can seal away more than a dozen times
what the previous Amber of the goddess could.
Owie...
Huh?! Where's Dolchomonte?
Relax, little kid.
The demon who was trying to crush you within his grasp
is confined within this...
Green hair...
like the wings of a bird?
The thing he's carrying on his back!
The dragon relief!
The one that was taken from Ironside...
Then... you must be...
Did you do it?
What?
Dolchomonte is my friend!
The others were good guys, too!
You consider someone from the demon clan your friend?
You consider those from the demon clan good guys?
It seems like the prophecy about you destroying the world is true, after all!
How dare you become friendly with the demon clan,
you brat!
To bring about the ideal world envisioned by King Arthur
and for the sake of those who have died,
you will end your life here!
Stop, Mr. Ardd!
Percival is a dear friend of ours!
Please, be silent and get out of here.
Anne and Nasiens, this doesn't concern you!
No! I won't be silent or go away!
If you have your reasons,
we have ours, too!
Percival saved us when we were suffering at the hands of your fellows.
He's a hero!
Hand me the amber!
Bring everyone back!
Shut up!
Come, Kellie!
Or should I say, Cernunnos!
Deal with the knight from the prophecy!
It's huge!
That's Kellie?
Kellie is a mythical beast said to dwell in purgatory!
Percival, dodge!
That was a close call!
Percival! His horns!
Aim for his horns to stop his attacks!
All right!
It's finally time to put this sword to use!
How?
His horns are as hard as garnet, even tougher than steel!
In that case...
Chop, chop, chop, chop!
Percival!
I'm so scared!
Neigh!
All right!
He shouldn't be able to find me in here!
Master Sin!
What happened?!
Master Sin!
Are you dead? Sin! Master Sin!
Thank goodness! He's alive!
Honestly...
Weren't you supposed to let me catch some peaceful sleep?
What on earth is this commotion?
He's enjoying tormenting Percival!
What a mean bastard!
At that speed, even with my magic, I won't be able to get him!
Hey, Kellie!
Quit fooling around and deal with him already--
I won't let you kill Percival!
Anne...
You completely fooled me.
I have the magic to see through lies,
so how...?
I didn't tell any lie.
You being a hunter was an outright lie!
It wasn't a lie.
I really used to be a hunter.
But now, instead of hunting mountain beasts,
I'm a demon clan hunter.
You were also lying when you said you'd help us
in rescuing our friends, weren't you?!
I wasn't lying!
If they were your friends, I felt I should help.
But I simply never imagined
that one of them would be one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
But it wasn't purely out of goodwill, either.
Without depending on these children, you couldn't enter the village.
The barrier not only made the demon clan appear human,
but it also had the effect of repelling those
with murderous intent and hostility, after all.
That's right!
To enter this village,
I took advantage of your feelings!
Please! Hand over the amber!
What do you plan to do if I comply?
Release them, of course!
Those people...
the demon clan had no intention of harming us at all!
A child like you can't understand
the hellish scenes humans were forced to witness
during the Holy War against the demon clan.
A mother crying her eyes out
while cradling the hand of her son who was buried under rubble.
Young siblings walking through flames, searching for their parents.
And a father with vacant eyes, forever tightly clutching a cradle charred black.
Listen, Anne!
The emergence of a knight from the prophecy
will bring a tragedy surpassing the catastrophe caused by the demon clan,
the end of the world!
To prevent that, I must deal with him, even if he's just a child!
What are you doing, Percy?
Don't waste the potential of your new sword.
But his horns are super hard!
Neither this dragon sword nor my magic sword can make a dent in them!
Why are you using them separately?
Huh?
Instead of using them separately,
I should use these two...
Merge them together.
This should do it!
I-I did it!
A weapon enchanted with magic
not only inherits the magic's properties.
Its destructive force and strength
become two or three times more powerful than it was.
Especially when it's enchanted with "destroyer" magic...
it amplifies almost tenfold.
I did it!
Awesome! That's amazing!
Everyone, did you see that?
Don't let your guard down!
Huh?
Kellie!
Crush him in your jaws!
Percival!
The doggie stopped!
Nasiens, now!
Right!
Misty Rain, Belladonna.
Are you all right?
Yeah. Thanks, Nasiens!
Goodness! You had me worried!
I got carried away.
This isn't a laughing matter!
Now, now...
Now then, all that remains is Holy Knight Ardbeg.
Hey, he's making a run for it!
It's called a strategic retreat!
Hey, shouldn't we just let that bastard be and move forward?
No!
We need to reclaim the amber from him and rescue everyone!
Oh, right.
Moron.
We've lost track of him.
We're in a pickle.
He probably headed toward the Crystal Grotto.
This is yours, isn't it?
It's a valuable item of mine!
Thank you, Elder!
Anne, lend me a hand!
- I suppose I have no choice. - Hey, what's the Crystal Grotto?
It's a cave near the village.
He probably has his base camp there.
There!
Thanks!
Let's go! To rescue Dolchomonte!
Percival, was it?
Do you intend to help the villagers, knowing they're from the demon clan?
Yeah.
Because Dolchomonte is already my friend and the others were all kind to me!
Nevertheless, it doesn't change the fact
their race has been in constant bloody war with you humans.
Is that so?
I don't see it that way.
Oh?
Just because my dad, who killed my grandpa,
is human, it doesn't make me hate all humans.
And just because my dad is a bad Holy Knight,
it doesn't discourage me from wanting to become a Holy Knight.
There are kind and cool Holy Knights like Howzer, after all.
It's the same as that!
Being good is all that matters!
I understand your perspective very well now.
Well then, I trust you'll rescue everyone, Percival.
Leave it to me!
I'm experiencing abdominal pain!
Fine. You stay here.
All right, everyone, let's hurry to the Crystal Grotto!
I'm the leader, so follow me!
Since when?
I have no choice. I'll have to go and babysit them.
He's a peculiar boy.
He's just a country bumpkin.
But I see now.
He's the knight from the prophecy.
One of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
The one destined to bring hope to the world, huh?
This has to be the place!
Crystal bedrock... It certainly looks that way.
I sense eerie magic.
It's probably a trap by that bastard.
- Don't rush in recklessly... - Let's go!
- Yeah! - Come on, hurry!
- Hey, wait up, Percival! - Hey! I'm the leader, remember?
Wow!
It's so pretty.
Maybe you could make money off these!
You're so unromantic.
Everyone, watch your step!
And your head, too.
We're quite deep inside now. How much farther does this path go?
The path is getting narrower, too.
The Elder won't fit through here.
Come on! Show yourself, you milksop!
The Great Donny will fight you!
You sure become bold when you have the upper hand, Donny.
Since that's the case, I'll let you take the lead!
Hey! Cut it out!
But Donny might have a point.
About what?
I feel like that guy is the weakest of all the Holy Knights we've fought so far.
True.
Compared to Ironside, his combat skills seemed almost amateurish.
That's not all.
While he was fighting Percival or Anne, he didn't use magic, either.
It is puzzling.
You guys are right.
Fighting isn't my forte.
Mr. Ardd, where are you?
Due to the crystals' echo,
we can't pinpoint his position or the distance.
What's more, my magic takes time before its effects begin to show.
Unless I lead you into a maze and hold you up like this, I will lose.
It takes time?
Even if you hold us up, we won't be defeated!
That's right! We'll totally have you cornered!
What spirited little brats.
But you should be careful.
The one cornering may end up being the one cornered.
That's enough. Just show yourself...
I-I can't see what's ahead of me!
What on earth are you doing?
My helmet suddenly got big and...
Huh?
It suddenly got dark ahead.
Not you, too!
What now?
P-Percival!
Percival, what happened to you?
You say that, but look at yourself!
Nasiens, is that you?
N-No way.
Can it be that we...
are turning into babies?
It's getting hard to stay on my feet...
Are you okay?
You realized too late.
Mr. Ardd!
I have the ability to rewind the passage of life
within a 50-yard radius, turning them into infants.
This is my magic, "Reverse."
You can't fight anymore in your current state.
I win.
Percival! Donny!
Let's retreat for now!
- Come on! - Come on!
You two! Why are you acting like babies?!
Results may vary,
but your minds will regress to infancy just as your bodies have.
I-It can't be...
All that remains is to fulfill my mission.
I wouldn't expect anything less from one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
Even as an infant, you won't cry. You sure have some nerve.
Before I deal with you, I must retrieve the dragon relief.
H-Hey, let go!
He's just an infant, but he's ridiculously strong!
I'm not trying to play with you!
Don't scramble up my arm!
You brat!
How dare you mock me!
I will immediately...
Anne!
You wait here!
Please understand, Anne!
The Four Knights of the Apocalypse must be dealt with whatever it takes.
I don't ever want to go through that pain again.
Or put anyone else through it!
So please, don't cry. Okay?
Oh, what's wrong, my princess?
Your daddy is right here!
Now, now, don't cry!
Are you happy now?
Ow!
Connie, you sure like your daddy's nose.
Ardbeg!
This village is doomed!
Before the demon clan attacks again, take your daughter and...
Anne...
Are you trying to comfort me?
How sweet you are...
But I absolutely must do this.
You...
Are you trying to protect Anne even in your current state?
Relax.
The only one I'm killing is you.
I won't lay a hand on Anne or the others.
You can't kill that child.
THE GOAT SIN
