My mind control doesn't work...

No, I'm sure that's not the case.

Sacrifices! Not enough sacrifices! I'm sure that's the case!

Hey!

What's going on?

Aren't you supposed to be controlling the demon sword?

Why do you think I've been working with you all this time?!

Do something alrea...

More.

I need more sacrifices!

Many more!

The demon sword will not harm me.

I can try as many methods as I want.

I'll bring more sacrifices, and it'll go back to me!

(The Witch and the Demon Sword - Epilogue)

Ashgan...

You're awake.

The seal...

Has it been broken?

Yeah.

It's all over now.

Nothing can stop Ashgan.

Hurry... leave me and run.

You shouldn't be around me.

He must hate my clan so much.

In the end,

I guess I'll end up dead without even fulfilling my duty.

I'm pissed.

At least... at least...

I wanted to at least know what a kiss feels like!

You haven't had one?

No, I haven't! Got a problem with that?!

Hey, treat my legs, too.

I can't even walk straight.

Guideau.

Seems like all the cards are on the table now.

We thought it was just the Paladin Corps at first,

but now there's also a great elemental, and an Executioner...

...and an unsealed demon sword, as well.

Good grief. They're all on the table, all right.

Now, then.

Should we also use it?

Our trump card.

Helga.

That wish of yours... will you let us fulfill it?

Huh?

Huh? What?!

Now, close your eyes...

Eek! Wait a minute! Wait just a minute!

You can't! I mean, you can, but...

Wait... You'll fulfill my wish, so that means...

You can't mean... for real?!

Yes, of course.

That's exactly what I mean.

The taste of blood seeping in my mouth...

Perhaps that's not how first kisses usually feel like.

But a guy's lips...

...sure are soft.

Huh? What?

What is... this chilling feeling?

Even the demon sword has stopped moving.

What in the world...

...is behind this wall?

What?

Where did that thing come from?

Guideau.

The demon sword prefers living sacrifices.

Don't use your right hand.

Are you planning on fighting it?!

Of course. Someone has to stop it.

That's impossible! Why do you think the Dauntless Witch has been sealing it?!

That it can destroy the world is not an exaggeration!

If it wants to, it can cut through everything that exists in this world!

The demon sword Ashgan is able to tear through creation itself!

Yeah. I know that.

A demon sword's power is tremendous.

I don't doubt that in the slightest.

However...

You're a bit mistaken.

It's not the only one.

The power to destroy the world...

There are countless of those things out there,

in this world.

It's afraid of it...

The Great Elemental is more afraid of this man than the demon sword!

The demon sword...

You probably feel the same, right?

Just like the Great Elemental,

this man and the mystery around him...

...must be giving you fear!

Now's our window to defeat it!

It's producing even more power.

It can't be...

No, I see!

The demon sword was finally released from its seal after hundreds of years.

Of course it would've been dull at first.

It's only now reaching its true form!

So you mean it's hella strong?

That's right.

Stronger than me?

I wonder about that.

But which one's stronger, you or a demon sword...

That intrigues me.

Don't worry.

I'm not going to use my right hand.

Now...

Brace yourself!

Ashgan.

I'm going to seal you now.

You...

You'll remain conscious,

but you'll never be able to move again,

neither will you be able to sleep.

You'll live, but forever be imprisoned,

Ashgan.

Did you trick me... Quena?

Yes. I tricked you.

You've killed too many people.

I can't allow that any longer.

I'd love to just give you instant death,

but that's not what everyone else wants.

I want to let you die,

but I also want you to suffer.

Inside me,

I feel hatred towards you, but also one other feeling...

At least,

I hope only the part of me that is not hatred...

...will be inherited by my children.

What a surprise.

The city is still largely intact.

To think that there exists a being who can stop me so quickly..

But...

Thanks to you,

I didn't have to kill her.

Even though I brought you so much danger,

you never even wanted to unsheathe me until the very end.

I couldn't... have my way.

Helga.

You really are a... stubborn girl.

(Ashgan.)

It's the end of the world!

Calm down. Please, calm down!

You sure this place is safe?

Yes. We're protected by a barrier here.

You don't have to worry.

The sky breaking apart, the ground shaking...

The town is a mess.

What in the world is happening?

There has been no contact from the base, too...

Hey, look!

Help me...

Let me in!

Guideau, he's right ahead.

Oop. He's started running.

One millimeter to the right, and three down.

You think I can aim that precisely?

I guess you're not as dexterous in this body compared to that one.

Then, you can just hope he doesn't die...

...and try your best.

S... Stop...

P-Please...

S-Stop... it...

Tell me, Executioner.

Why did you feel the need to attack us?

If the order given to you was to retrieve the demon sword,

You could've done it easily without this much sacrifice.

It wasn't a mission.

It was my personal goal.

Matt Cugat wouldn't cooperate,

and because of the Elemental's protection, I wasn't sure if I could brainwash him.

The only thing I can do is steal it.

I wanted the demon sword.

I've dedicated years of my life towards that goal.

But I'm not the only one who wants its power.

All the other Executioners, the Holy Church...

They all want the demon sword!

If Cugat gets his hands on the demon sword,

I'll never get the chance to get it again!

So...

I see.

It's true that Executioners usually work in pairs.

Considering the other one never showed up, I don't think he's lying.

And seems like this is all he would tell us.

Executioners are silenced using a contract spell.

Don't hope to get any more information.

The only way left to make use of him...

...is make him take responsibility for causing this tremendous damage.

However, Executioners live in the shadows.

They're humans who don't exist.

All you can do is say that they're the true culprit.

Oh, but they don't have to stay alive.

It was a magic battle of great magnitude.

Wouldn't be odd to say they were slashed to pieces.

N-No... Wait!

Please, wait! You're mistaken, Colonel!

I was just being used, and...

I was naive, I see.

Yeah. You're naive.

I guess that's true.

I am naive.

My kind of justice doesn't allow any death of the virtuous,

and deaths of wicked people who might have a shred of good inside them.

So no matter what kind of person they might be,

I would take them to the brink of death, but then let them live.

But...

...I don't show any mercy to those who have crossed that line.

Having said that, the subordinates I lost were soldiers.

You can say they died in the line of duty.

Your family got taken away from you.

What do you want to do?

Nothing much.

It doesn't bother me so much anymore.

This much is enough.

I don't want to see them in any more.

If you want to do something, do it somewhere else.

I see.

But I do have one request.

Give them so much pain that they regret ever being born.

Understood.

He just left without even questioning you suspicious people...

He must've felt it somewhat.

There's a tacit agreement between us an the Paladin Corps.

We can't allow sparks that would lead to war.

So I guess he just left us alone.

Why is that the case?

If an all-out war breaks out, the world might cease to exist.

You're just joking, right?

Well, whatever. Who cares who you are now.

You'll protect me, right?

Yes, of course.

We'll keep you as safe as it can be.

However, in case you're interested...

I'd like you to lend us your power.

My power?

Do you want a witch's power?

Then, I wouldn't be of help.

A large part of my power is used for keeping up Ashgan's seal.

Only a minuscule amount is left for me to actually use...

Right...

I don't need to do it anymore.

The seal.

Guideau hit it with her left hand.

A monster as powerful as a demon sword would surely have survived that.

Our organization would probably be able to repair it.

It'll take time, but one day, I'm sure it will come back to life.

If it dies, it would be for the sake of the world.

That would probably also be the best thing for Ashgan, too.

That's what I thought, but...

Ah...

I see.

It's still alive.

Yes...

...this must be a curse.

Hey, so you're Ashgan?

I guess demon swords aren't as big of a deal as I thought.

- Hey, are you listening? Hello? - Come to think of it,

I already realized it as soon as I saw her.

But it didn't sit right with me

and I couldn't accept it.

Helga, you can't.

You have to let the demon sword rest in slumber underground.

Otherwise, it's dangerous.

I mean... I mean, it's because...

Don't you just feel bad?

It's supposed to a sword that can bring disaster or whatever,

but it's now in this form, only able to roll its eye around!

Besides, it can't even "rest in slumber" in the first place!

It's always just looking, like a fly on the wall!

Covered in dust! That's just too sad!

Look at it!

This ridge is so dusty!

Fine, fine, I get it. Put it back already.

- Look, there's dust here, too... - Come on, Helga...

It's more sad that this little girl is even feeling pity for it.

That's true.

It's laughing...

It is?

Is it so scared that it can only laugh, or something?

Oh, so angry you just have to laugh?

Come on, say something too!

She's being this much of a laughingstock...

...but there's not a trace of anger inside her.

She's the spitting image of Quena...

And that part of her that is not hatred...

Maybe I have to accept it now...

No, I will never accept her!

This must be a curse.

No doubt, a witch's curse.

Long time no see. I've missed you!
