Original subtitles

There are undead everywhere.

The dungeon is just ahead.

Jean.

I don't mind if the reward is lower.

I'd be happy if I could have the beasts' mana stones instead.

Sure, but what do you want them for?

Well...

Soul Eye.

Mana stone value. Is that it?

You gain power by consuming mana stones.

I guess that's how it works.

What?

Those special skills of Magical Eye are such a pain to deal with.

I've never heard of a stat called mana stone value before.

Does it allow one to gain skills?

- What? - What?

Did I get it right?

I'm so smart.

I'm surprised. How did you know?

Because your skills are quite unusual.

You have skills that only magical beasts possess.

Soul Eye is scary.

Actually, there are magical beasts in that dungeon

that can trick my Soul Eye.

Seriously? What are they?

I want that skill.

We can talk about that later.

All right. We're here.

Let's head inside immediately.

Into the floating island's dungeon.

(Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2)

(Episode 2: Jean Du Vix Is Excellent) This aura of resentment. How nostalgic.

Resentment?

It's the obsession of not wanting to die or being unable to die.

When resentment binds with a mana stone,

it becomes a powerful wraith-type undead.

Just like Andy.

Andy too?

We necromancers can control that power.

We purify them by touching their souls.

For vengeful spirits filled with hatred,

it's a form of salvation.

However...

Even to me, this place feels abnormal.

I sense a much greater grief and resentment here

than in a normal dungeon.

So it's a dangerous place then.

Is there anything we should watch out for?

Leave the guiding and trap-evading to me.

You two just focus on the fighting.

Understood.

(The Floating Island's Dungeon, Underground Level One)

Hey, Jean.

What was that skill you mentioned that can fool even Soul Eye?

On the second floor, there are undead beasts called Mimic Spirits.

They possess skills that interfere with Appraisal.

Interfere with Appraisal?

I have Appraisal Block...

Listen to me first.

Among them

(Mimic Spirit Danger Level: E) is a rare, high-ranking species.

(Mimic Spirit Danger Level: E) It's called a Camouflage Spirit.

They possess a special skill

(Camouflage Spirit Danger Level: D) called Camouflage Appraisal.

That skill doesn't prevent Appraisal.

Instead, it allows them to display false information at will.

So it can trick opponents into letting their guard down?

(Block, Real Body, Name: Fran, Black Cat) If used

(Level: Strong, Equip: Teacher) together with

(Skills: Many Powerful Skills) Appraisal Block,

(Alert, Camouflage, Fake) while perfectly blocking the truth,

(Name: Fluffy, Fluffy Tribe) it can make

(Level: Weak, Equip: Stick, Leaf) others believe

(Skills: Loves Curry, Careless) false information.

That's amazing.

So it works on Soul Eye too?

It works on Soul Eye.

I expect it works on other Magical Eyes as well.

I want Camouflage Appraisal.

I really want it.

Are you motivated now?

Let's go.

Wait a minute!

This is bad.

There are many traps set around here.

- How cliché. - How cliché.

Fran.

Take out Summoning Orb No. 1 that I asked you to hold onto.

The one in Dimensional Storage?

Instant Summon.

High Undead.

Your name is Selkan.

I've refined him repeatedly using custom Undead Arts for today.

(Selkan, Custom Undead) He's a specially

(Race: Beast, Status: Contract, Level 14) crafted minion.

Go, Selkan!

A trap removal skill.

Hey.

If he can't disarm a trap, he blocks it with his body.

And then he regenerates instantly.

Seriously? That's amazing.

Well done, Selkan.

Once we defeat the guardian inside, we'll reach the second floor.

The guardian?

Like a mid-boss?

Selkan spent all his skill points on dealing with traps.

He's completely useless in combat.

(Guardian of Level One, Undead Python) Okay, leave the rest to us.

Urushi.

All right. Let's go!

Fire Magic. Fire Javelin!

I'll help too.

Underworld Magic.

Hellstorm!

Triple Burst!

Good job.

An easy win.

Is it okay for him to eat zombie meat?

(Grumble)

I'm hungry.

Seriously.

Today's meal is my special vegetable-packed curry.

You need to eat the vegetables too.

Curry tastes great even in a dungeon.

This food has a unique aroma.

Do you want some?

May I?

It really whets the appetite.

Curry? This is delicious.

Right? Teacher's curry is the best.

The best in the world!

Another bowl, please.

That's your third bowl, Jean. You're eating too much.

Another bowl, please.

Look who's talking. That's your fifth bowl.

You can't stop eating.

Jean, no more for you.

All right. There's plenty more.

(The Floating Island's Dungeon, Underground Level Two)

It's around here.

Are those Mimic Spirits?

There's a rare species called Camouflage Spirit among them.

But because of Camouflage Appraisal,

their stats will likely look identical to the common species.

I see.

So we won't know until we cut them down?

Understood.

Elemental Sword. Fire.

Slash to your heart's content!

September 10, 3616.

My right hand was cut off, so I can't write long entries for a while.

Maybe I'm just not used to it yet. My handwriting is really ugly.

Though I doubt anyone will read this.

September 11, 3616.

It feels like there are fewer children.

But I was reunited with those two.

His right eye was blinded,

and she was covered in scars.

This is unforgivable.

What did we do wrong?

September 17, 3616.

It's very quiet today.

Is it because there are no experiments?

I want to see "her" and "him."

September 18.

To see how much I could regenerate after the experiment,

my legs were cut off.

This seems to be a facility for turning living people into the undead.

September 20.

I feel like I'm being imbued with resentment while still alive.

Is it the resentment of the children who died in this facility?

I'm sure it includes the resentment of "her" and "him" who are no longer here.

My consciousness is about to fade away.

From this day forward, I'm no longer human.

Here it comes!

I've obtained Camouflage Appraisal!

Got it!

That was faster than I expected.

Equipping Camouflage Appraisal.

Jean, check it with your Soul Eye.

It looks like she has no skills and her stats are very low.

Great.

But having zero skills is too suspicious.

Let's adjust it to look more average.

I see. Good point.

There's nothing left to do on the second floor.

Fran, give me Summoning Orb No. 2.

Understood.

Instant Summon!

High Undead!

Come forth, Fry!

(Fry, Race: Beast, Undead) (Status: Contracted Undead, Level 7)

Another one.

This is an undead beast that can lead the way

and automatically maps out the area.

It constantly transmits the map data

directly into my gray matter.

So it's a surveyor then.

Necromancy is quite convenient.

With Fry and Selkan,

we can explore the dungeon more efficiently.

You're so smart.

You can praise me more, you know.

And so, led by Fry and Selkan,

we avoided traps and never got lost.

(Guardian of the 2nd Floor, Ogre Zombie) We smoothly made our way through

the dungeon's complex,

- Fire Blast! - twisting paths.

Mana stone value requirement met.

Self-evolution triggered.

Ms. Announcer.

Obtained 50 self-evolution points.

It has been a while since the last evolution!

What is self-evolution?

It's my unique way of leveling up.

Through self-evolution,

(New Skill: Shape-Shift) a new skill, Shape-Shift, has been acquired.

A new skill?

Shape-Shift.

You can change into any shape by using mana.

However, your mass remains the same.

Teacher Hammer!

This won't work. It uses too much mana.

It'll be hard to maintain for long.

(The Floating Island's Dungeon, Underground Level Three)

That's strange.

What is it?

There's hardly any sign of the Undead.

And there are remains of undead we didn't kill.

Did they kill each other?

No, wait.

Hey, this is...

It might be that guy.

That guy?

Something is coming.

I found you.

Hey, Jean. This guy is...

The Undead Devourer.

I found you...

Appraisal.

Is it blocking my Appraisal?

Here it comes!

Wait, Fran!

- Get back. - No, Jean.

Urushi!

Master!

I finally get to see you.

Undead Devourer...

Wait. Are you Stefan?

Yes, I'm your servant, Stefan.

Stefan?

Who's that?

The familiar who bit the Undead Devourer when I escaped from it last time.

You did mention that.

I didn't hear about it.

That's because you were asleep.

(Master) I only gave Stefan Necro Resistance,

Absorption Resistance, and Corrosion Fusion skills.

The plan was for the Undead Devourer to eat him

while he held out with Absorption Resistance,

and then corrode it from the inside.

I thought it had failed.

I've been working hard for years.

I'm sorry for being a useless master.

You did well, Stefan.

Yes.

But I recall the Undead Devourer looking like a giant.

This is quite a difference.

Yes.

This body seems to be able to change its appearance.

Since the body was too big to control,

I adjusted it based on the consciousness left inside this body.

Or rather, the memories.

I made some adjustments.

By the way...

It has been so long since I saw you, Master.

You're as handsome as ever.

I'm practically swooning.

Is that so? You can tell?

Right?

You truly are a great necromancer.

This is wonderful.

We're being completely ignored.

Right.

Are you perhaps my master's new servant?

I'm not.

My deepest apologies.

I didn't realize you were an adventurer here to help.

I'm Fran.

This sword is Teacher.

And this is Urushi.

I'm Stefan.

Nice to meet you.

(The Floating Island's Dungeon, Underground Level Four)

After Stefan joined our party,

we conquered the dungeon faster than ever before.

(The Floating Island's Dungeon) I didn't wander around for years

(Underground Level Five) for nothing.

I'll lead the way.

This place will collapse. Let's take a detour.

Stefan knows everything about how to overcome obstacles,

as well as shortcuts and so on.

By the way, Master...

(The Floating Island's Dungeon, Underground Level Six)

Hell Blast!

Inferno Blaze!

You can use necromancy too?

Yes.

It seems to be a skill originally possessed by the person whose memories remain in this body.

Necromancy. That's so cool.

(Underground Level Seven) You're slurring your words.

Ms. Fran, watch your back!

Stefan.

Thank you.

Okay.

Stefan, you did a great job.

Master...

It's so much fun fighting as a team.

Is it?

(The Floating Island's Dungeon, Underground Level Eight)

Don't cut it!

Is it a High Undead?

Please leave it to me.

He swallowed that many in an instant?

As expected of an Undead Devourer.

Stefan, you're amazing.

Am I?

Stefan, you've been a huge help.

The guardian of level eight is inside.

Fran, Teacher.

I'll be acting on my own from here.

I see.

Yes.

Because Master gave me a secret mission.

I'm counting on you.

Okay.

That's a shame.

I wanted to fight with you a bit longer.

Me too.

Urushi, Teacher, and Ms. Fran.

Please take care of my master.

Leave it to us.

Also...

Also?

Never mind.

I'm off.

What's the secret mission?

I want to keep an ace up my sleeve.

I'll tell you once it's certain.

All right. Let's go.

(Guardian of Level Eight Ancient Zombie, Elite Spearman)

Take this! A preemptive magic strike!

What?

He cut through the magic.

In that case, let's trade blows!

Be careful. That spear is a magic spear.

And she even has Spear Master Arts.

She's a formidable opponent.

I have Sword Master Arts too.

And an amazing sword!

Urushi!

Fran, are you okay?

I'm safe thanks to the Black Cat's gear.

She's on a different level from the previous guardians.

Urushi!

Midair Jump!

She can even parry that move of Fran's?

Hey, Fran! She's gathering mana!

That was close.

That spear is really troublesome.

Yes.

In that case, let's aim for the spear.

We're thinking the same thing.

Okay.

I'll use amplification magic.

You strike the same spot.

Let's do it.

Parallel Thought.

Amplify... Concentrate!

Burst!

Take this!

It's not over yet!

One more strike!

Now, Fran!

Use that move!

Sword Master Arts!

Impact Slash!

Mana Stone Absorption!

We won.

Well done, Fran!

Gosh, that was impressive.

I thought she was a formidable opponent.

A long fight would've been bad for us,

so we had to go all out from the start.

That last move was powerful.

Impact Slash.

It's the strongest move Fran can use right now.

If that hadn't taken her down, we would've been in trouble.

Teacher's situational judgment

and Fran's ability to adapt and react.

What an outstanding team.

Teacher and I are a golden duo.

- Golden. - Golden.

This dungeon has ten floors in total.

If the guardian of level eight is this strong...

Fran, focus on recovering your strength.

We must be close now.

(The Floating Island's Dungeon Underground Level Nine, The Deepest Part)

All right.

Once we pass through here,

only the dungeon core's chamber remains.

The guardian of Level Nine.

They're firing all at once!

I knew it.

I've missed you, you skeleton bastard.

I'm going to pay you back

for what happened in the sky.

(Next Episode, The Undead Are Resilient)
