[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[narrator] The True Demon King
that died in the Final Land

was first spotted in the territory
of the True Northern Kingdom.

21 years ago, True Northern Kingdom

[explosion]

[screaming]

-[explosions]
-[panting, whimpers]

[growling]

-[roars]
-[youth panting]

I'm going to die! I'm going to die!

I'm done for!

[blade slashing]

[youth panting]

Darn it! I'm also trying my best here!

[amused laughter]

You're as amazing as ever!

[youth] L-Lumelly…

Don't tell me you were watching!
Watching me almost die!

[Lumelly]
Whether a mouse or a dragon appears,

you always say you're going to die.

I'm always fighting for my life!

I'm not a carefree genius
like you, Lumelly.

Hmm… Alena,
did you get caught up in another fight?

[Alena] It wasn't a fight!

[sighs] I should have stayed with Psianop…

[♪ light music playing]

[Lumelly] Yugo!

[Yugo] Lumelly! I've not seen you
since the battle at Tileet Ravine.

[Lumelly]
I remember our promise from back then!

"Conceal the blade in your heart."
I'll definitely be of help!

[Yugo scoffs] Yeah.

[associate] Hmm?

This isn't good.

[deep inhale]
This will be seriously tough.

-[grunts]
-Hey, Izick.

Don't be such a wuss!

[Izick] Hey, I'm not being a wuss!

All right, maybe I lied.

Honestly, I might be scared.

[Yugo] What will you do, Fralik?

[Fralik hesitates]

[Yugo] Fralik says he'll go.

Which means I'll go too.

[Neft chuckles]

No choice but to do this today.

[Neft] There's a city just ahead.

If we allow the Demon King to advance,
it will be destroyed.

Whatever!

I've spent my life causing trouble.
Who cares if I live or die?

[narrator] 21 years ago,

there were seven people
known as the First Party.

The unparalleled prodigy of the spear,
surrounded by chaos and misfortune,

Alena the Benighted White Wind.

The evil Word Artist
abandoned by the world,

Lumelly the Poisoned Ground.

The pioneer of medical technology
who understood all minian meridians,

Romzo the Star Map.

The visitor who wields dark techniques
passed down from another world,

Yugo the Moving Decapitation Blade.

The self-proclaimed Demon King
who was feared

for having done the world's worst deeds,
Izick the Chromatic.

The lycan warrior
who mastered the fighting techniques

passed down in his tribe,
Neft the Nirvana.

The one who rose from slave to champion
with only his bow,

Fralik the Heaven.

They were the hope
for all life living in this world.

[sighs]

The trip to Okahu was a waste after all…

Huh?

[Yuno] Maybe I should have studied more.

Like about camping equipment,
or about gathering plants…

[Soujirou]
Being able to sleep safely is good enough.

[Yuno] What was it like
before you came to this world?

[Soujirou] Huh?

[Yuno] I was wondering
what the Distant World is like.

[sighs]

To be honest, I don't really know.

You don't know?
About the world you were in?

[Soujirou]
It became a real mess a long time ago.

It was constant fighting, so I don't know.

[Yuno] You mean…

You mean war, right?
Is your country already…

Sure. Well, I only heard about it.

[Soujirou] They say it was destroyed
by someone called Shiki Aihara.

Episode 24
Shiki, Enemy of All

[echoing]
From Lumelly to the eyes of Haresept.

Hollow light of rippling green waves.

[all exclaiming]

[surprised, confused grunts]

[resident] Oh. Guests, perhaps?

[♪ eerie music playing]

Hello.

[all gasping]

[Izick] I mean, I've been acting weird
this whole time, haven't I?

I could've destroyed entire cities
with locust revenants, right?

Right?

[screams] Don't mess with me!

[thumps]

[wind gusting]

[straining]

My power…

I-It's Word Arts!
Lumelly, rewrite her Word Arts!

[in trembling voice] N-No, that's not it…
This isn't Word Arts!

[Yugo breathing heavily]

[Yugo] That's right.
It's not Word Arts or any other technique…

It's just… my heart feeling fear.

[breathing heavily]

Hey, you.

[resident] Want to try stabbing with this?

[Yugo gasping, grunting]

[Yugo] I'm scared… I'm scared! I'm scared!

[gasps, groans]

[screaming in agony]

That's good. [giggling]

W-What… What are you?

[choking] Oh, no.
M-My voice is becoming hoarse…

[resident] I'm… a minia.
Don't worry, okay?

S-Stay back! Don't look at me!

[screaming in agony]

[retching]

-Let's see…
-[Alena gasps]

…what do you want to do?

[Alena gasping, spluttering]
I-I want to kill… Kill Fralik…

Please… let me kill…

That's right, isn't it?
Then you should do so.

[Alena] I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Fralik…

-[breathing heavily] No! No!
-[Fralik] Huh? Uh…

[Alena screaming] Please, no!

[choking]

-[Alena gasping]
-[choking]

-[Fralik gasping, groaning]
-[gasps, breathes shakily]

[body thuds]

[screaming]

-[thuds]
-[squelching]

[Alena wailing]

[Alena gasping, screaming]

All too easy. All too easy.
It's all too easy.

[♪ tragic choral music playing]

[breathing heavily]

[chokes]

-[Romzo] All too easy… All too easy…
-[Alena groaning] No… no… no… no…

[resident] That's right,
I need to continue reading my book.

[Hiroto] You knew, didn't you?

The identity of the True Demon King.

The True Demon King…

is a visitor, right?

[sighs deeply]

In this city, I'm the only one who knows.

[Morio] I haven't even told those
who were moving to silence others.

Because this concerns all of us.

Indeed. If this truth becomes known,

the world will be thrown into upheaval
once more.

[fire crackling]

You burned it without hesitation.

Because I thought that's what I should do.

[♪ tense music playing]

[narrator] She is the one without a past,
motivation, power, or skill.

The one without Word Arts,
special abilities,

or even the power of magic items.

The one who is simply a single minia,

and for whom exists no reason
for any phenomena.

She is but a lingering shadow
of a long-defeated past.

She is already dead.

She is an Archenemy. She is a minia.
She is Shiki, Enemy of All.

ISHURA

Archenemy: The enemy to all beings
who live in this world.

Aureatia

[Rosclay] The Gray-Haired Child
has infiltrated the Royal Games.

And not just by putting forward
a mere Hero candidate,

but by putting forward
the entire Free City of Okahu as a Hero.

Quite an unexpected approach
towards Hero interpretation.

Rosclay, we don't need to accept them.

They are foreign enemies of Aureatia.

It's concerning that the Gray-Haired Child
has allied with that bastard Dant.

Having gained Okahu as an ally,

just how much
will the Queen's faction interfere?

[Jelki] Though we could win
against them in battle,

we lack the financial resources
to govern Okahu after its fall.

[official 1 scoffs]
A money problem, is it?

Let's have them immigrate to Aureatia.

What did you say?

[Rosclay] We'll give the mercenaries
Aureatian citizenship

and have them engage in labor.

We'll continue to let
Morio the Sentinel govern Okahu

and have the Gray-Haired Child
accompany Dant.

[official 2] That's like opening the gates
and inviting in an enemy army, isn't it?

It means dividing their forces

and effectively taking
the Gray-Haired Child as a hostage.

[Rosclay] After all, the Gray-Haired Child
is Okahu's source of war funds.

After mutually preventing war,

the conclusion will still be…
the Royal Games?

[Rosclay] We have plenty of advantages.

As long as they fight in Aureatia,

they won't have the power of the people.

[Jelki] However, other candidates are also
scheduled to participate in the matches.

In particular,

we need to be careful of movements
among the Twenty-Nine Officials.

[scoffs] Of course,

investigation and surveillance
have not been neglected.

[Mestelexil] Wow! [laughing]

[Kiyazuna] Jeez,

to think they don't even send someone
to pick us up.

Just who do they take
Kiyazuna the Axle for?

It's your fault
for not contacting them first.

Well, Mestelexil said he wanted
to see Aureatia as soon as possible.

[Mestelexil laughs]

[Mestelexil]
Keite, show me around! [laughing]

-[Tu] Nice to meet you!
-[♪ gentle music playing]

[Krafnir] It's been a while, Frinsda.

This is Tu the Magic.

I'd like to recommend her
as a Hero candidate.

[Frinsda chuckles]

I am Frinsda the Forerunner.
Let's get along, Miss Tu!

[Tu] Of course!

Krafnir, you still have to use constructs
to communicate, I see. How sad…

That's right! You're a coward, Krafnir!

[Krafnir] I-I'm not a coward!

In order to openly reveal
remote synchronization technology

with constructs to the public,

and to spread
the usefulness of Soul Arts--

Let's skip the complicated talk.

[Frinsda]
So, is Miss Tu stronger than you?

[Krafnir] That's right.

-I'm leaving her in your care.
-Huh?

Don't worry. If you come to my mansion,

I'll treat you to snacks and tea
every day.

[Tu] That would be nice, but…

if I win,

can I meet Sephite?

[wind gusting]

Who are you?

[Psianop] I am Psianop.

Psianop the Inexhaustible Stagnation.

Psianop…

Who was that again?

[Psianop] We met at the Sand Labyrinth,
didn't we?

Since I've come to Aureatia,
I thought I should at least say hello.

[Alus] I don't really care.

I didn't even remember you.

[Psianop] What about Toroa the Awful?

There are rumors that the enchanted
sword monster you supposedly killed

has come to Aureatia.

It's a fake.

If he wants revenge, he should just come
and cut me down right now.

The reason he can't…

is because unlike the real Toroa,
he's weak.

[Psianop]
Or maybe it's because he's strong.

Maybe he thinks
this city wouldn't survive if he fights.

I wonder if that would happen
if we fought too?

[Psianop] Want to give it a try right now?

[Mizial exclaims]

Toroa the Awful! Long time no see!

[Toroa] Mizial, huh?

What about your official duties?

Military officers are free
this time of year.

[Mizial] Carrying cargo?

[Toroa] Yeah. I'll be doing a bit more--

-[voice] Hey!
-[both exclaim]

-Are you Toroa the Awful?
-[♪ suspenseful music playing]

We're the Great Tree of the Sun,

the vigilante group
in charge of this area.

[vigilante 1]
You're using Toroa the Awful's name

to scare the people of Aureatia.

And I hear
you don't even have citizenship.

As long as there's permission
from the council,

even non-citizens are allowed to stay
for up to three months.

Shut up, kid. We're talking to that guy.

[Toroa] Will this end if I leave?

You think that'll settle things?

Hand over the enchanted swords.
All of them.

[Toroa] What did you say?

You might be faking the name,

but those enchanted swords
are real, right?

[Mizial] H-Hey, I happen to be

-the Twenty-Second General of Aureatia.
-[vigilante 1] Huh?

Could you please stop trying
to cause trouble in front of me?

Mizial the Iron-Piercing Plumeshade,
we work for a Hero, don't you know?

[vigilante 2 chuckles] I shot at him!

Hand over the enchanted swords.
Let's end this quickly.

It would be troublesome
if this city were to catch fire--

-[chokes]
-See,

this is what happens
when you ignore me.

[vigilante 2] Boss!

-Darn you!
-[vigilante 3] Don't mess with us!

[vigilante 4] Die!

[Toroa] Wicked Sword Selfesk.

-[blades slashing]
-[vigilantes groaning]

-[chuckles]
-[♪ music fades]

[Mizial panting]

Man, it's been a while
since I've done something like this!

[Toroa] Mizial, this was reckless of you.

[Mizial] Why?

It's annoying, right? Them saying,
"Hand over the enchanted swords," and all,

when those enchanted swords belong to you.

[Toroa] Mizial.

If I enter the Royal Games,
could even I become a citizen?

[Mizial chuckles]
This was just a simple fight.

No need to feel indebted.

[Toroa] Maybe you're right.

But…

it sounds like fun.

What do you want, Lena?

Won't you come back again?

[Kuuro] To Obsidian Eyes?

-[high-pitched ringing]
-I heard rumors that the leader died.

Is his daughter now the Obsidian?

[Kuuro] No, it's fine.

I understand.

That would be much better.

[Lena] I knew it.

It seems we need your power.

[Kuuro] I have no intention of returning.

Nor do I intend to side with Aureatia.

I heard you were attacked
by Aureatia's people

after observing the Particle Storm.

[Kuuro] That's right.

The ones who shot me…
I never saw them at the base.

Tell me.

Was it not you people…
who tried to kill me?

[♪ tense music playing]

I see.

Even with Clairvoyance,
I can't read the truth of things

I don't know about from the start.

[Lena] Kuuro the Cautious…

As former comrades,
we should maintain our obligations, right?

It's impossible.

They injected me with serum
when they brought me in.

I can no longer become a corpse.

[Lena] Obsidian Eyes need you
even if you're not a corpse.

In fact,
it's better if you're not a corpse.

That's what the young lady would say.

[Kuuro] As expected,
she's different from Rehart, huh.

See you.

[Kuuro] Take care of the young lady.

Master Kuuro…

Not being able to dispose of Kuuro
was a major blunder.

My lady,

if he has regained his Clairvoyance,
he'll see through our movements.

[Linaris] Master Kuuro said
he won't lay a hand on us.

[Frey] That is a lie.

Aureatia must have some leverage over him.

I will investigate
and bring it under our control.

[Linaris] Please, do not!

My lady?

Lady Frey,
have you ever seen Master Kuuro angry?

[Frey] Him, angry?

Master Kuuro only gets angry

when danger approaches
those important to him.

Those truly in danger…

are the Aureatian people
who have leverage over him.

[associate] About the Royal Games…

It seems the council will hold
true duels for them.

[Kuze] Is that so?

But if the Hero dies in the match,
it would ruin the grand unveiling.

[associate]
Here's one way to think about it.

The council hasn't found any Hero.

Rather than a battle
where the Hero emerges victorious,

they intend
to make the victor into the Hero.

We can still withdraw
the Religious Order's recommendation.

[Kuze] I'm serious about this.

I don't intend to lose.

I have Nastique with me.

-[carriage rattling]
-[Kuze] Plus…

I might have a fellow disciple too.

I have a feeling
we'll meet at the Royal Games.

[rumbles]

Outskirts of Aureatia, Gimina City

Hey! Handle it carefully!
I won't forgive you if you bump it!

[Yuno] Mele the Horizon's Roar…

Even he is participating
in the Royal Games…

It's not just Mele…

Strong people with unreasonable power
are gathering.

Soujirou is one of those strong people.

I brought him to these Royal Games
to kill him…

[cracking]

[Yuno] Huh? [yelps]

[thuds]

-[Mele] Woah there.
-Huh? [shaky breath]

Are you okay?

[Mele] Don't space out,
you're weak after all!

[Mele laughing]

-[spluttering] Thank you…
-[heavy stomping]

-[passerby] Miss, your fruits…
-Huh?

Look, they've gotten dirty.

[Yuno] Thank you.

But I'll have to buy new ones.
They were meant to be a gift.

[Yuno groans sadly]

-I'll give you mine.
-What?

Going back and forth from the market
would be tough, right?

But… you must have bought these fruits
with your own money?

[Kia] Does it look that way?

You really don't need to worry
about something like this.

I can do anything, after all.

Shalk the Sound Slicer, right?

-I've heard about you.
-[♪ closing theme music playing]

I got the Black Tone's slot
for the Royal Games.

I'm sorry to leave mid-contract,
but I'll be leaving Okahu.

[Morio] Well, a soldier is free
to find their own battlefield.

If you kill me here,
it would be quite an achievement.

[Shalk scoffs]
All I want is information about the Hero.

Shalk the Sound Slicer, why didn't you go
to the Final Land yourself?

Are you scared?

[Shalk] Maybe that's it.

Maybe…

I am scared.

Man, that was really scary…
Scarier than a battlefield.

[Hiroto] Good work, Yukiharu Shijima.

However,

there's no need to investigate further
about the True Demon King or the Hero.

The first-phase objective
has been achieved.

[Yukiharu] Oh, are you sure?

If we keep this momentum
and reveal the True Hero,

we could blow away their schemes
along with the Royal Games, you know?

[chuckles]
But that would cause Aureatia to collapse.

By moving Okahu and using the Royal Games,

we're aiming
for a more peaceful infiltration.

Come on,
when statesmen say things like that,

isn't it just another word for invasion?

[♪ music stops]

[Hiroto] Yukiharu,
invasions are disadvantageous.

My goal is an outcome
where everyone benefits.

A happy ending.

[♪ epic choral music playing]

[narrator] The True Demon King,
the enemy of the world

that filled the horizon with fear,
was defeated by somebody.

But the world still harbors deviant beings
capable of transforming the era,

with a hundred shura -like demons
writhing within it.

What the people seek is a True Hero
to lead the world to peace.

That person must now be chosen.

There are 16 names for those shura.

Soujirou the Willow-Sword.

Alus the Star Runner.

Kia the World Word.

Nastique the Quiet Singer.

Mele the Horizon's Roar.

Linaris the Obsidian.

Toroa the Awful.

Mestelexil the Box of Desperate Knowledge.

Kuuro the Cautious.

Rosclay the Absolute.

Lucnoca the Winter.

Psianop the Inexhaustible Stagnation.

Uhak the Silent.

Shalk the Sound Slicer.

Tu the Magic.

Hiroto the Paradox.
