Original subtitles

The only thing after this room is the dungeon core chamber.

There's the 9th floor sentry.

Let's get cracking! Hit it with a full barrage!

Finally.

We've been looking for you, bonehead.

It's time for some payback.

You're going down!

First, the Battlemage skill: Focus Mana.

Then Mana Overboost.

And Elemental Blade: Wind!

Advanced Sword Art...

Impact Slash!

That attack leaves you defenseless for a bit after you finish the swing.

We gotta be careful how we use it.

Hey, Teacher!

Hm?

What?!

No way! Absolutely not!

Boo...

We're not losing this time!

You betcha!

It concerns me that our barrage of magic spells

hardly left a dent.

Jet! You take the skele-steed!

Let's go!

Nice!

Man, it hits like a truck!

That boney bastard.

You okay, Fran?

I'm fine!

The knight has vastly superior stats.

Fran is barely fighting on par with it thanks to various buffs from spells and skills,

along with help from Teacher.

Drat. Jet seems to be having some trouble.

It repaired its armor so fast!

EPISODE 3:

THE UNDEAD MONSTER WAS TOUGH AS NAILS

The Dungeon Guardian title must be giving it a boost.

Undead monsters do not feel any pain.

Plus they can recover from most light damage and never tire.

Fran!

I'm just getting started!

Round two!

You must realize a prolonged battle will only work against us, Teacher!

Right. Skill: Mana Sense!

Oh great, it has Sense Disruption.

Damn! This means we can't turn the tables by sniping its crystal.

Whadda we do?

We keep fighting until we find a way to win!

As good a plan as any!

It nicked me.

Every hit has a chance of insta-death.

It's a good thing the Black Cat Set saved you, because we don't want that happening!

Thank goodness for Garrus.

You said it!

Duck!

Now beat the tar out of it!

Okay!

Was that an auto attack spell?!

This thing just has it all.

You can count on me to keep you healed.

Thanks, Jean!

Fran!

It doesn't hurt, but it throws me off.

I've got you.

Huh?

Your Mana Barrier skill has reached level 10.

I dumped a bunch of evolution points into Mana Barrier to max it out!

You're the best, Teacher. Now I can fight freely!

Thunder Magic: Stun Bolt!

It can't be paralyzed?!

This is quickly going from bad to worse.

Stay sharp. This thing has to have a weak spot!

Aha!

Did you see that, Fran?

Yeah, it protected its head!

That must be where the crystal is!

But its guard is hard to break through.

Jet!

Catch my drift, Fran?

Okie dokie!

Now! Switch it up!

Nice going!

They switched opponents?

Aim for its neck, that's where the crystal is!

Roger!

Dragon Fang!

Crystal absorbed.

The higher grade undead monsters seem to have some form of emotions.

It was worth a shot to exploit that.

Fran!

Sonic Shooter!

Plus Telekinetic Catapult!

Now die and become EXP for Fran!

What just happened?!

Fran!

This is bad, Teacher!

Yeah, it's suddenly hitting way harder than before!

Boney bastard. What's the deal?!

Identify!

EXTRA SKILL: UNLEASH

Whoa, the "potential unleashed" status?

The Unleash Potential skill forcibly evokes

the user's latent powers to temporarily boost their stats.

In exchange, vitality is drained

at a constant rate while active

and it may take additional tolls depending on the user.

Oh crap, its strength and agility stats are over 1,000 now?!

FRAN!

Greater Heal!

Can you move?

Yeah, my leg reattached.

What about Jet?

You alive, buddy?

Stay on your toes.

Okay.

Not good. Get some distance, Fran!

Meet your end.

Jean?

Necromancy spell: Reverse Undead!

Most unfortunate.

Not even a spell meant to eliminate greater undead monsters can rattle this thing.

Fran!

Back off!

Greater Heal!

This fight just got a whole lot harder.

Unleash Potential is too OP.

Fran, we gotta steal that skill!

Kay, let's do it!

Jet!

Skill Taker!

Boom, baby!

Hey!

You have failed to take the Unleash Potential skill.

Oh, c'mon! I thought the success rate was 100%!

The success rate is invalid when targeting Extra Skills due to their value.

Currently, only skills lower than Extra rank are able to be stolen.

Dammit, you gotta be kidding!

Fran!

I'm okay. Just... need a second.

Fran won't last long at this rate.

Shit. I gotta think of something.

Maybe... another Telekinetic Catapult?

No. That knight is too quick now.

Hey, Teacher. Let's raise the Advanced Sword Arts skill, okay?

We can't beat this thing otherwise!

Fran...

Okay, you got it.

Your Advanced Sword Mastery skill has gone up to rank five.

Sorry, Fran.

I got tunnel vision for a second there.

You and I are supposed to be a team, after all.

Nuh-uh.

Huh?

We're more than just a team, we're an unstoppable duo!

I feel so light on my feet.

Fran's moves are getting honed to perfection.

And better yet, being wielded by her is giving me a crazy surge of power.

I've never felt like this before!

You're amazing, Fran!

I think we can pull it off now, Teacher.

Huh?

Our finishing move!

Wait, do you mean...?

That attack leaves you defenseless for a bit after you finish the swing.

We gotta be careful how we use it.

Hey, Teacher! I just thought of a finishing move for us!

...then come back around like this.

What?! No way!

That puts way too much strain on you.

Boo...

The move you thought of?

Mm-hmm. It's the only way that we can win this fight!

True, but there's so much blowback...

I'll be okay. Let me do it!

All right. You've convinced me!

Thank you, Teacher.

Focus Mana!

Here goes. Overboost!

Elemental Blade: Wind!

Eat this!

Advanced Sword Art: Impact Slash!

Here's the tricky part. I use Telekinesis to totally cancel out the momentum of the slash!

Then add a telekinetic boost!

HEAVY SLASH!

Crap, it dodged...

Like hell, bonehead!

Transform! Blade extension!

Fran!

That's what you get for messing with us.

You okay? Any pain left?

I'm all good now!

We did it, Teacher! Our finisher worked!

Aw, Fran.

I know there's a fine line between being caring and being overprotective, but... ugh.

I'm worried she's gonna end up a battle maniac.

Hehehe! More fighting!

A job well done.

We couldn't have pulled it off without you two. Thanks.

That was a brutal fight, but it scored us 300 crystals and very useful skills

like Sense Disrupt and Auto Mana Strike.

Plus, the Unleash Potential Extra Skill.

It's a hell of an ability,

but the constant vitality drain

and other tolls that it takes on the user are risky.

We can't test it out very easily.

You're really gonna loot the body parts of every sentry we beat, huh?

Of course, they have tremendous value as catalysts for my necromancy spells.

I'm simply abuzz with excitement over their potential uses!

What's with the giddy laugher? It's creeping me out.

I will take the orichalcum armor and cloak,

but I have no use for the magic sword and relinquish it to you.

Thanks a bunchies.

Death Gaze sounds pretty cool for a sword. You sure we can have it?

Yes, I would rather not risk suffering insta-death by accidentally cutting a finger on it.

Fair enough, we'll take it.

Thank you, Jean.

That knight reacted to its steed dying.

Feelings of attachment must have lingered in the catalyst used to summon it.

Or perhaps that was byproduct of its animus.

It explains why that undead monster felt so much more powerful than the rest of them.

It was super tough!

Indeed.

Ta-da-dah!

Meat snackies! So yummy!

I present you a fantasy twist to the classic fried chicken: Fried Monster!

Bon appetit!

Tis' a perfect pairing with curry!

Wait, Jean gets curry?! Why?! No fair!

Because he wouldn't stop pestering me for some.

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

Okay, okay. You win.

Man, that was one rough battle.

FRAN

AGE: 12

RACE: BEASTMAN, BLACK CAT TRIBE

CLASS: BATTLEMAGE

STATUS: CONTRACT

Fran has gained three levels since we entered the dungeon.

JET

(DARKNESS WOLF)

RACE: MONSTER, DIREWOLF

And Jet's gone up by five.

Back to business.

Teacher, will you please take my case out of storage?

Oh, sure.

What's that, Jean?

A magic staff known as the Nether Lord's Blessing.

Huh? I can't use Identify on it.

Yes, well, it's a Named Item that I procured from another dungeon.

It unfortunately has a curse that saps the life of its user,

but I want to be prepared for our next and final battle.

The dungeon master, eh?

I've already sent Fly ahead to the 10th floor to find the core chamber...

What's wrong?

I can longer sense Fly.

What does that mean?

Likely that it was vanquished by an enemy.

Oh yeah?

Fancy that. I did not realize just how far you had come, my unwelcomed guests.

Who said that?

Curious, are we?

Then I shall spare you the suspenseful trip to my abode.

This feels familiar!

This surge of mana...

It's a teleporter!

Welcome to the core chamber of my dungeon!

The core chamber.

I am the master of this dungeon.

With the introductions done...

now you perish.

Jean!

Jet!

Teacher!

Fran! Snap out of it, Fran!

Sanity.

Teacher...?

You were hit by the "Fear" and "Panic" skills.

They wreak havoc on your mental state.

Identify!

Those are some big stats,

but not very different from a Greater Demon.

Hold up, that can't be right.

The mana that I felt earlier was way stronger.

What're the odds he's using Fake Identity?

I think you're right.

We probably don't stand a chance against his real power.

Fran, get a Feather of Return ready. We're leaving, now!

Okay.

Huh? It's not working!

What?!

This whole chamber is under a sealing spell to prevent teleportation.

There is no escape.

Well, shit. That's dumb as hell!

Teacher.

You wouldn't run away unless things were really bad.

So I know these monsters are so powerful you don't want me to fight them.

But remember...

Together, you and I are...

an unstoppable duo!

Yeah. Damn straight we are.

Alright, let's whoop some ass!

Okay!
