Now I'll hurl you!
So... this is what my magic does?
Your magic has never been levitation. It's the ability to move objects freely.
Telekinesis!
Donny!
Wahooo! That makes three of them that we've taken down now!
We are kinda awesome, aren't we?!
You were only able to win because Sin was there helping you out.
Come on, don't say that.
Actually yeah, if it weren't for Sin's apt directions and advice, who knows where
we'd be right now?
So, Sin, do ya mind telling us who you really are?
I'll kill!
Well, they certainly don't call him the "Invincible" without reason.
I ain't afraid of you anymore, big guy!
How can you disgraceful sods even call yourselves part of the Dark Talismans? I
see. So, this is the Fragment of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness they took from
us. I shall begin... by taking this back.
Checkmate.
Donny!
You can't have the Fragment of the Coffin!
Percival, are you okay?!
He appears to have a minor concussion. But thankfully, his head didn't go flying
off.
What's bothering me, is I wasn't able to notice that he was approaching us at all.
Without a doubt, that bastard is their leader, the fourth Dark Talisman.
"Thunderclap" Fiddich.
His magic is effective within roughly a 25-foot radius.
- Donny! - I see now. His magic allows him to
move objects, but he cannot use his power against things that
are out of his eyesight.
Just hang in there! I'll stop the bleeding!
Impressive, Fiddich.
- You all should be ashamed of yourselves. - Yes, forgive me...
To be honest, I was never too keen on killing children, even if it was a direct
command from King Arthur. I figured the least I could do was send you all quickly
and decisively to the other world without making you suffer. But I changed my mind.
I will evoke despair in you and make your faces contort with fear, after which
I will torture you to death. That is your fate.
Consider it payback for the humiliation you have brought upon the Dark Talismans.
Oh no, it's him...
Well- would you look at that, huh?! The brats are back for some more.
That incantation orb...?!
- This is bad! Their wounds are healing! - Everything we've done
- 'till until now is ruined! - Well that sucks...
It can't be...
Now we're right back where we started! Or rather, a hopeless situation for you!
Now we really are done for. There's no chance we're comin' outta this the
- winners. - Is this really how it ends
for us IIIt's way too cruel.
Well, I wasn't able to fulfill my dream of becoming a great herbalist, but I'm glad
to be here facing our end together, Percival.
No way... I won't... I won't ever give up.
- Percival, you ca--... - I will never give up!
Sin, Donny, Nasiens, and Anne... I'll protect you all!
Each one of you is dear to me... and I don't ever wanna... lose a loved one again!
Nicely put, Percival. Nothing will ever change if all you do is wallow in despair.
It's better to fight until the very end, just like you are now.
Sin!
I believe in you. After all, you're from the prophecy, one of the Four Knights of
the Apocalypse!
Oh yeah, the same goes for me! I'll believe in you, too! Without you, we never
would have survived any of the things we've faced!
Every step of the way, you have always given us the courage to keep going!
Now, it's our turn Percival to stand by you until the very end.
As comrades we've always dreamed of becoming Holy Knights. We can't let a bit
of despair discourage us from reaching that goal together!
I can feel it...
Everyone's faith in me... is making my magic stronger!
- What on earth is that sword?! - I'll kill him!
Impact!
Enter defense mode, Percy!
Got it!!
Percival!
I-I'm okay!
All righty! You can leave that hulking bastard to me!
Yeah, same here! I'm not out of the fight yet!
And neither am I!
So, a brief exchange such as that... was enough to completely wipe away the despair
welling up in the children's eyes. I understand now. The linchpin of this
little group... is him.
Take out the head first.
- Roger! - Roger!
They're coming! It's time to spread out!
You're the head, are you not?
But why?
In group combat, the basic strategy is to crush the leader. One of the knights from
the prophecy may be among them, but those children have survived so far because of
the guidance they received from someone along the way.
And you believe that's me?
Sin!
Perfect Cube.
This little thing!
Familiar, when I stood behind the green haired kid wearing the helmet earlier, you
went out of your way to make him trip and fall.
You interfered with me as well.
You were able to predict the power of Wither somehow and prevented the brats'
weapons from weakening.
Not to mention how unsettling it is that you happen to know so much about us.
- Damn it! Now what?! - It's a magic barrier.
- And a strong one at that! - Break! Ouchie! Ow!!
And above all else, I only lost to that little girl because he filled her head
with all sorts of ideas!
The long haired child's magic, awakened due to the fox's advice. He's a threat!
Yes, I always listen to my instincts, and right now they're telling me you're the
most troublesome presence here. You're clearly not just any old Holy Knight.
You are a familiar working directly under the King of Liones.
Sin! We're gonna help you out!
Let's make a deal.
Fill us in on whatever valuable information you're holding onto, and your
death shall be swift. But refuse our offer, and we will guarantee that your
final moments will be a living hell. Your choice.
What if I asked you to let the children go in exchange for providing the
information you're after?
That's unacceptable. As long as they pose a threat to King Arthur, it is our
mission to deal with the knight from the prophecy and the companions he so dearly
clings to.
Sin! Y'gotta hang in there, okay! We have to make it to Liones! You promised
- we'd get there, didn't you?! - Percy.
Huh?
I had intended for our leisurely journey to last a little longer. But it seems this
- is it. - Master!
What is your answer?
Will you perish in peace... or die in despair?
Stop drowning in your own ego, you idiot!
Looks like this mut is just a stupid beast, after all! Now, Fiddich! Put this
fox down while the kids are forced to stand by and watch his brutal demise!
Hmm. You made the wrong choice.
Siiiiinnn!
Did he vanish?
Elgin?!
- They killed Elgin. - These arrows...
If your intention is to kill someone, that means you're prepared to face death
- as well, am I right? - The one who did this... was you? How?
Staff of the Four Elements! Create, Wind Sickle!
I will kill you all!
Stop it, Doronach. You mustn't use magic in here.
Impact!
Idiot!
No mercy for your comrades? You're such a bastard.
Name yourself. Who are you?
Wha...?!
Hold on... Who are you?
It's Lancelot.
L--Lancelot?!
Your name isn't Sin?
And you're a human?
Lancelot... That's a name I haven't heard before.
With skills such as yours, there ought to be countless rumors floating about you.
Well, it's simple, really. Only the ones who make it out alive get to spread the
rumors.
But no one who's fought me has lived to tell the tale. And that's all.
What a boring joke.
No, he's not bluffing.
His magic is transformation. He can transform into a fox at will, making it
tricky to target him. And his primary weapon remains a mystery.
Is it his bow that hit Elgin and Burgie's vital points with perfect precision, or is
it his fist that took down Doronach? -As I thought, my only choice is to kill him
without giving him a chance to strike back. -So are you ready?
What?
You've already figured out a plan to kill me, haven't you?
Haste!
This magic of mine is how I earned the alias of "Thunderclap." By augmenting my
well-trained body with a sudden speed boost, I'm capable of seizing any target
without fail.
And it gives me the power to split them in two!
Why? Why can't I land a single hit?
His reaction speed is unfairly fast!
- To think... that I would... - Tell me something.
Does your group have someone wearing a helmet that has a visor with the shape of
- a star on it? - What are you talking about?
I see. You know about this person, but you have never met them before.
Then, tell me this. Where can I find Dubs, the Giant Clan's Master Craftsman?
Don't tell me... did you just...
So he doesn't know anything.
You can read my mind!?
Absolute Cancel!
Hang on!
Sleipnir!
I'll return to Camelot to report immediately!
Lancelot, from now on, your name will be known throughout Camelot. And just like
the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, each and every one of us will be hunting you
- down until we take your head! - Donny, toss your knife.
Huh wha? Uh yeah, sure...
Huh? What're ya gonna do?
Shining Road.
Sleipnir, shake off that light!
Didn't I tell you? No one who faces me in a fight ever makes it back alive.
The Dark Talismans...
That was quick... One of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, huh? Leaving
him unchecked could prove to be rather troublesome. But between dealing with him
or finding my bride, which should I put first? Well, Merlin?
My king, follow your heart's desire.
His strength is on a whole other level! Is he a monster...?
I accidentally pooped myself...
That light was... Could he be the one who wiped out the monster in Sistana...
Unbelievable... Even though they were our enemies, he killed them all without any
hesitation.
- I should've expected their reactions. - Thank goodness!
Huh?
Percy, you...
You're okay!! I'm so glad you're safe, Sin!
It's just like that time with Grandpa... I couldn't do anything! I was so scared! If...
If Sin had died, I don't...
Percy.
It isn't Sin. My name's Lancelot.
Lan-ce-lot, huh...
- Donny, your knife. - Oh yeah!
I'll replace it when we get to the kingdom.
Your fight with Doronach was intense. It must've taken a beating.
So, Lancelot's your name, huh?
Just who are you? What are your true intentions? And why exactly were you in
the form of a fox? -You better give us a proper explanation. Otherwise, none of us
will be able to trust you from here on out. -Don't worry, I still trust you.
C'mon Percival, do you mind?!!
It was the King of Liones who sent me here.
- What are you planning to do? - Don't tell me those arrows are for us...
I have two objectives.
Firstly, to locate one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse as well as their
potential companions, and to bring them back to the kingdom. Secondly, to stick to
being your guide and overseer, and to refrain from intervening as much as
possible.
My subterfuge was a necessity. I needed to assess your determination and courage,
and confirm that you all were ready.
As for my fox disguise... I needed to make sure my presence stayed hidden from them.
Oh - I can help, too!
You mentioned someone with a star-shaped visor and the Giant Clan's
Master Craftsman If you're looking for people like that, how are they involved in
- all of this? - That's nothing. Don't concern
yourself with it. This is personal.
- So whatcha planting there? - Just the seed of a plant.
Even though they have died, through the life of the forest, they will live on.
Not only do you have the ability to transform, but you can also read people's
minds. By any chance, would you be a member of the fairy clan?
Who knows?
Wowie!! Is it actually true that you can tell what people are thinking?! Ooo, do
me! Do me! Poop, poop, poop, poop...
There. Try guessing-- -As if I'll tell you! -That's not it! I just wanted you to
try to figure out how many times I thought about "poop."
What's the matter?
Hmm? The magic of the Dark Talismans... What's the meaning of this?
Could Percival have... No, although he is an impressive lad, even he isn't strong
enough for that... Found you!
- It's the black knight! - Well, howdy! I've come
to play again, Percival!
It's Pellegarde!
- What's this guy's deal? - Well? Have you leveled up a bit?
Sorry, pal. But we don't have the time to play with you right now.
Who the hell are you?
- We're on our way out of here. - Huh? Where?
Oh! Hey, wait! I've come all this way! How sad!
We're here.
The Kingdom of Liones.
Snap out of it, will ya? The king is waiting.
THE KING OF LIONES
