Original subtitles

This is the place.

We've got six really powerful undead monsters to deal with.

Fran!

Time to pull out all the stops!

Wait.

Tis' better that I take care of this.

Magic staff: Nether Lord's Blessing.

Answer my call.

Grant these pitiful souls beset by spite and malice with an eternal night's sleep.

Eugh...

What a creepy song.

Attack!

Jean!

I knew the Dungeon Master would be a threat.

Thus why I kept a secret weapon in reserve.

O Nether Lord,

bestow us thy blessing!

Dude, for real?

Did you just wipe them all out? That staff is crazy strong!

It has the power to purify undead monsters across a wide area and send their souls to the heavens.

Awesome!

A masterful display.

I could never have foreseen my elite minions being decimated so swiftly.

Color me quite surprised!

How is this possible?

Your undead soul should have met the same end as the rest.

I presume you sacrificed your own vitality for such a formidable attack.

A shame it has no effect on me!

That makes no sense...

Jean!

EPISODE 4:

THE HOPELESS BATTLE AGAINST THE UNDEAD KING

Already on the verge of death, are we?

Then again, purging so many undead at once

shouldn't come cheap.

The piper always demands his pay!

You should rest, Jean.

Greater Heal!

Unfortunately, healing doesn't work. I'm not wounded in the normal sense.

Okay.

Then at least take this stamina potion.

Much appreciated.

Damn skullface. How did he survive the purification power of that spell?

Well, if the spiritual doesn't work...

I'm ready.

Then we just slash him up!

He's wide open!

It went straight through him?! Is he made outta air or what?

Fire Arrow!

Does he not have a physical body?

Are we fighting an illusion?

I'm not done yet!

Nothing is working on him...

Save your strength, Fran.

Did you really think you could just beat me into submission?

That one punch took out half of Fran's HP?!

Greater Heal!

But the fact he did physical damage proves that he's not just an illusion.

Elemental Blade should work against spirits.

So why did it phase through him?

Is he using some kind of skill?

Hey, Jean. Do you know what his deal is?

I'm sorry, but my Soulsight doesn't work on undead like him.

Identify ain't working, either.

Shit. Whadda we do?

Teacher!

Hm?

Could you buy us some time?

Why, you got a plan in the works?

I can't be sure yet. I need you to trust me.

Okay, no problem!

Alright, Fran. Let's keep him distracted without being too obvious about it.

And be careful not to get hit by counterattacks like that last one!

Roger!

Overspec Undead Summoning!

I'm curious, will you make for good corpses to execute my grand plan?

Let us find out!

Huh?

Jet, you're in charge of protecting Jean.

Come. Do your worst.

Fran.

Here goes!

Is it just me, or are these monsters weaker than the last ones?

He's using numbers to wear us down mentally and physically.

So he's just screwing with us!

Yes, in essence.

But I imagine it's mostly because he wants to turn us into his undead pawns.

Oh, he's trying to keep our bodies in good shape when we die, huh?

That's fair. I can't blame him for thinking we'd make kick-ass zombies.

Is there a problem?

Your attacks are starting to look rather sluggish.

Come now, you can't be done already.

We've been at this for a whole hour now.

Jean! How much more time do you need?

It's futile.

You cannot harm me!

This sucks!

Stay sharp, Fran.

Now you're mine.

Fran!

FRAN!

Oops. I went a little harder than I intended to.

You jackass. I'm gonna make you pay for that!

Yes, do make sure to heal her.

This isn't over yet!

Oh? The flame of hope yet burns, does it?

Well, it's only a matter of time.

I look forward to the agony on your face when the despair sets in.

Dammit. This asshole is just playing with us like toys.

On other hand, we'd be doomed if he was fighting for real since we can't even hit him.

We have to figure out his trick or we'll never win!

Taking a break?

You're just asking for my spells to recharge so I can summon even more monsters.

Overload Undead Summoning!

It's those really strong ones again...

Does this guy just have unlimited mana or what?!

Wonderful.

That's what I wanted to see.

The anguished look one has as their last shred of hope dies!

Fran!

There it goes!

What just happened?

What's with all the shaking?

Success smiles up on us, my friends.

That was your doing, Jean?

Not exactly.

Ugh! What in blazes?!

He's distracted! Now's our chance!

I feel it all fading away! No, this cannot be!

We have my servant to thank for this...

Stephan has destroyed the animus engine.

Yay, Stephan!

Animus engine?

It's a device that takes the animus of the countless souls in this dungeon and converts it into mana.

That is what provided him with infinite mana!

So you're telling me...

We have severed his supply of extra mana from the dungeon!

All the mana from my animus engine is disappearing!

The keystone to my campaign of vengeance!

I stocked it for decades so I could one day raze that infuriating kingdom to the ground!

Campaign of vengeance? What?

You will regret this.

Mark my words.

There will be hell to pay!

So much mana!

Aw, come on! Wasn't that supposed to make him weaker?!

No. It only limited his resources.

Nothing has changed the innate difference in power between us and him.

Great, so he's taking the kid gloves off now...

Enough! I have no need to make minions out of you worms!

Instead, I'm going to wring the life from your bodies until you regret ever being born!

Death shall bring you no release from the suffering!

It's the Fear skill again!

Not this time, bonebag. It won't work.

Cuz you don't scare me!

What is that light in your eyes?

Surely you're not still clinging onto the foolish idea that you can win this battle?

The let me quash all doubts.

I turn off Fake Identity!

Identify!

with a snap of his damn finger!

Fran! We can't afford to slip up against him!

Right...

Your confidence must've shattered to pieces now that you've seen my true power!

I can see the despair creeping across your face!

Overload Undead Summoning!

Fran!

Your torment has only just begun!

Look out, Fran!

Take a dirt nap! Land Magic: Gravity Pressure!

Fran!

I won't let you die that easily! Not after you destroyed my animus engine!

I'll play with you later. Just hang there and wait your turn.

Suffer in agony!

Dammit...!

Teacher...

Pathetic! You are like gnats before me!

You wretched fools have no one to blame but your own weakness!

Taste the bitterness of despair as you perish for the price of your own folly!

Jet...

Jean...

Fran...

I'm sorry I failed you.

The world thinks it's okay to tyrannize us. I want to change that.

No Black Cat has ever Evolved. So I want to Evolve.

Teacher's a super amazing sword!

Yeah, I feel you.

Dying at the bottom of some dungeon without ever Evolving is no way to go.

You're too broken to even move a finger now.

But I am far from satisfied.

Go forth, my minions! Hack off all their limbs and then flay them alive,

before you crush every last bone into dust!

Hey, Jean! You still alive?

Yes, but I'm hanging on by a thread.

I have a plan.

We're gonna sock that smug bastard right where it hurts!

Can you handle it?

Need you ask?

Don't die on us.

Come to me with the speed of the wind, my servant...

What are you up to, Necromancer?

Don't give me that look!

High Undead Summoning!

I summon thee, Stephan!

Is that the Undead Eater?!

Master!

Thanks, Stephan. You saved our hides.

My pleasure!

Little whelp! You dare cross me?!

My old master...

Way to hang in there, Fran.

Same to you two. Glad you're okay.

I no longer serve you. Jean du Vix is my master now.

As you can see, my necromancy skills are nothing to scoff at even for one such as you.

So, you've weaseled control away from me, have you?

Dungeon Master... you haven't beaten us yet!

This changes nothing.

The Undead Eater cannot save you from your fate!

Does despair not feed upon you?

Despair? Never heard of it.

My little Fran is stronger than you think!

Thanks, Stephan!

Of course, Fran.

I'm really glad you're in our party!

Same here. I love being in a party with all of you!

Ridiculous.

You have nothing to smile about!

Fran, you ready to put our plan into action?

Yep. Let's do it.

Nether Lord's Blessing, answer my call.

Relying on that staff again? It has no effect on me, fools!

Grant these pitiful souls...

Stephan. Get behind me before I finish casting the spell!

beset by spite and malice...

Okay, master.

Fine! Then I'll just rain on your parade!

Extra strength... Mana Barrier!

Master! I'll hold him off until the very last second!

Grant them an eternal night's sleep!

A pointless endeavor!

O Nether Lord, bestow us thy blessing!

You won't escape this time.

This spell can be used to avoid attacks by briefly teleporting into another dimension.

SEAL IMMUNITY

Although this chamber prevents teleportation,

he is in the unique position of making it possible through his Seal Immunity skill.

But we stole his Spacetime Magic skill, which means he has nowhere to run!

Now you're gonna take your lumps and then some!

Eat steel!

Argh! The light, it burns!

Impossible! I can't die!

Not without getting my revenge!

This cannot be happening!

Master!

It's not over!

What?!

Unbelievable. He just won't go down!

Screaming?

What is all this stuff?

Animus... drat.

Master!

He's taking all the animus from the dungeon and sucking it up.

The Dungeon Master has a skill called "Essence of Filth,"

which lets him absorb animus from undead spirits to power himself up.

All of the animus that was released when the animus engine got destroyed is now flowing directly into him.

Okay, but it doesn't seem like he's regenerating.

He can't handle the immeasurable amount of animus that's crashing down on him.

It's potent enough to manifest on the physical plane like a wave.

The longer this keeps up, the more likely we're all going to get swept away by it!

I'll find a way to save Master Jean.

But I can't do much for you guys...

Mana Barrier!

Fran!

Raise your Mana Barrier at full power! I'll double it up with mine!

Okay!

Jet! You hide in our shadows!

I hope you get out of this safely!

I'll add a layer of Cleansing Magic on top!

Man, we're having a rough time even inside the barrier.

We just gotta hold on until it dies down!

But what if it doesn't die down?

Tsk! I shouldn't jinx it!

Fran! We're getting out of this alive, hear me?!

Yeah. Us, Jet, Jean, and Stephan...

we're gonna eat curry!

Totally!

Let's look for the exit.

Whoa, the animus disappeared?

Fran!

That damn wave is out to kill us!

Transform!

Well, shit. This is not good at all.
