[Donny] Who's that?

That voice sounds like Mr. Ardd?

His outfits changed.

[Ardd] I am Ardbeg, a Holy Knight in the service of King Arthur.

[all gasp]

I have waited for this day, this moment, for so long.

This is the end of the demon race. I shall punish you all.

[theme music]

So Mr. Ardd is a Holy Knight of King Arthur?

Ah. The demon race?

[Nasiens] The race that terrorized Britannia during the Holy War?

THE CORNERED

Hey, Percival, were you aware of that?

Hmm.

Actually, Dolchomonte just told me about it.

All of the demon clan present in this village

represent those who refused to participate in that Holy War of yours.

[Ardd scoffs]

[Ardd] So what if they didn't fight?

What matters is whether or not they belong to the demon race.

That's all.

They are in need of a lesson

on how many victims there were in the Holy War 16 years ago.

They must learn.

Hm? Is that...

[Ardd] Rosko, basura, merushito, metetoma!

[all exclaim]

[exclaims]

[grunts] Wait, what just happened?

[grunts] The entire demon clan has totally vanished.

Hmm.

[Ardd] This magical item known as the "Amber of the Four Archangels"

will seal those bastards away.

It can seal away more than a dozen times

what the previous Amber of the goddess could.

[Percival groans]

Wait, what? Where did Dolchomonte go? Huh?

[Ardd] You don't need to worry.

[Percival] Huh?

That demon, who was trying to crush you, he's forever confined within this...

[gasps]

Verdant hair that flares out like the wings of a bird?

[gasps] The thing he carries on his back.

It's the dragon relief.

The one stolen from Ironside.

Then, you must be...

Wait, are you the one who did it?

[Ardd] Did what?

[Percival] Dolchomonte is my newest friend.

And the others never did anything bad to us either.

[Ardd] You consider that demon your friend?

You believe that demon race are good guys?

[Ardd exclaims]

[grunting]

How dare you become friendly with these monsters, you insolent brat?

[all gasp]

[grunts]

[Ardd] Your crime of befriending those of the demon race

will not go unpunished.

In order to bring about King Arthur's vision for the ideal world,

and for the sake of those who have died,

your life shall have to meet its end here.

[Percival grunts]

Please stop, Mr. Ardd!

You can't do this to him. He's a dear friend of ours.

[Ardd] Please, children, be silent and get out of here while you can.

Anne and Nasiens, this doesn't concern you.

No, sir, I won't be quiet or run away!

[Ardd grunts in confusion]

You have your reasons for doing this, but we have our own reasons as well.

[Nasiens] And that's Percival.

While we were suffering at the hands of your fellow knights, he saved us.

He's a hero!

[Ardd grunts]

All you got to do is give me the Amber and let me bring everyone back right now.

[Ardd] Shut your mouth!

[grunts]

[Ardd] Come, Kellie.

Or should I say, Cernunnos!

Deal with this pesky knight from the prophecy!

-It's huge. -[gasps]

[Anne] That thing is Kellie?

[growls]

[Ardd] Kellie is a mythical beast said to dwell in purgatory.

[gasps]

[Percival grunts]

[grunts]

[growls]

Percival, get out of there!

[yelling]

Phew. That was a close call.

Look! Percival, the horns.

If you aim for his horns, you'll stop his attacks.

All right, let's go!

It's time then, let's see what this new sword can do.

Hi-yah! Huh?

[Percival] But how?

[Ardd] Those horns adorning his head are hard as garnet

and tougher than steel.

[Percival] Well, in that case...

Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah. Chop, chop, chop, chop.

[snarling]

[screaming]

-Oh, no, Percival! -[gasping]

I'm so scared!

Neigh! [whimpering]

Alrighty then, he shouldn't be able to find me while I'm holed up in here.

Huh?

[screams]

Master Sin, it's you!

Goodness gracious, Agnes! What happened to you?

Master Sin! Are you dead? Sin! Master Sin!

Are you dead? [Sylvan crying]

-[gasps] -[sighs in relief]

Oh my, thank goodness. You're still with us.

Honestly, weren't you supposed to let me catch some peaceful sleep?

-Huh? -[loud bang]

-[yells] -[yawns]

[Sin] What the hell is this commotion?

[grunting]

[grunting continues]

He's enjoying tormenting Percival.

That old man is a mean bastard.

Even with my magic, I won't be able to get him at that speed.

[Ardd] Hurry, Kellie!

Quit fooling around and take him out already.

I won't allow it. Not Percival.

[Ardd] Anne...

You had me completely fooled.

My magic allows me to see through any lie I hear.

So how?

[Ardd] A lie never once left my tongue.

You lied when you claimed to be a hunter!

[Ardd] That was no lie.

I truly was a hunter in the past.

But now, instead of hunting mountain beasts,

my only prey are those of the demon race.

You also lied outright

when you told us you'd help us rescue our friends, didn't you?

[Ardd] I did not lie.

If they were your friends, I felt it was right to lend aid.

However, I never imagined

that one of them would turn out to be one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.

[Elder] But it wasn't purely out of goodwill.

[gasps]

Without these four children,

you were incapable of entering the village.

[Elder] After all, the barrier not only made the demon race appear

as though they were human, but it also had the effect

of repelling those with murderous intent and hostility.

[inaudible dialogue]

[gasps]

[Ardd] That's exactly right.

I needed to enter this village,

so I took advantage of your pitiful feelings.

[Anne grunts]

The Amber! Hand it over!

[Ardd] And what if I do comply?

I'm gonna release everyone you trapped in there, of course.

And all those creatures.

It doesn't matter that they're demons,

they had no intention of harming us at all!

[Ardd] A child like you wouldn't understand.

In the Holy War against the demon race,

humans were forced to witness countless atrocities.

[Ardd] A mother crying her eyes out,

cradling the hand of her son who was buried under rubble.

Young siblings searching for their parents as they walked through a blazing fire.

[dramatic music playing]

And a vacant-eyed father tightly clutching a cradle charred black.

[Ardd] Listen, Anne!

The emergence of a knight from the prophecy

will bring about tragedy that far surpasses

the horrors caused by the demon race.

It will be the end of the world.

To that end, I must destroy him, even if he is just a child!

[grunts]

[groans]

[Sin] What are you doing, Percy?

-[growls] -[Percival grunts]

[Sin] Don't waste the potential of your new sword on this.

I had to. Those horns he's got are super duper hard, you know?

'Cause this dragon sword and my magical hand sword

couldn't even make a dent in them.

Then why are you using them separately?

Uh, what?

Instead of only using one, I should use both of them?

Merge the two together.

[thrilling music playing]

[uplifting music playing]

[gasps]

[Percival] This should work.

-[growls] -[grunts]

[attack yell]

[roaring]

Woah, I did it.

When your weapon is enchanted with magic,

it not only inherits the magic's properties,

its destructive ability will be more than doubled in power.

[Sin] Especially, when the weapon's enchanted with "destroyer" magic,

it amplifies almost tenfold.

[growls]

[exclaims]

I did it.

-Wow. -Go, Percy! That was awesome.

[both gasp]

Hey, you guys, did you all see that?

Don't let your guard down!

-Huh? -[roars]

[both gasp]

[Ardd] Kellie!

Stop playing with him and crush him!

Percival!

[Donny grunts] The monster doggo stopped.

Now, Nasiens, your move!

Right.

Misty Rain, Belladonna.

[Percival babbling]

[grunting]

[all pant]

Are you doing okay?

Oh, yeah. I'm all good now, Nasiens.

[Anne] You had me so worried.

[laughs]

I got a little carried away there.

None of this is funny.

-Now, now... -Well, that's over.

All that remains now is this Holy Knight Ardbeg guy.

[Elder] Hm?

[Donny] Hey, he's making a run for it!

[Ardd] It's called a strategic retreat!

Hey, guys, don't you think we should just let that bastard go

and move on from all this?

No, we can't!

Everyone's still trapped in the Amber

so we got to stop him and get it back quickly.

I forgot about that.

Idiot.

We totally lost track of him.

Quite a pickle we're in.

It might be wise to assume he headed toward the Crystal Grotto.

[all] Huh?

This helmet belongs to you, does it not?

It's a valuable item of mine.

Thanks so much, Mr. Elder.

[Percival] Anne, lend me a hand.

-[Anne] I don't have a choice, huh? -Hey, what's this Crystal Grotto?

It's a cave that can be found near the village.

More than likely, he set up a base camp at that location.

[Anne] There.

Thanks a lot, Anne.

Now, then. Let's go and rescue Dolchomonte.

So it's Percival, is it?

Now that you know the villagers are of the demon race,

do you still intend to lend them aid however you can?

Yeah.

Dolchomonte has become a good friend

and everyone else here has been super kind to me.

Nevertheless, the connection you've made with them

does not change the fact that their race has been caught up

in a gruesome conflict for generations with you humans.

[all grunt nervously]

[Percival] Oh, is that so?

Well, I don't really see it that way.

-Huh? -You don't?

Sure, I mean, just because my dad who killed my grandpa is a human,

it doesn't make me hate every human that ever existed.

[Elder] Hm.

[Percival] And just because my dad is a bad Holy Knight,

it doesn't discourage me from wanting to become a Holy Knight myself.

-After all, look at Howzer. -[Donny chuckles]

There are good Holy Knights like him out there, too.

It's the same thing.

If you're a good person, it doesn't matter what race you are.

I understand your perspective very well, Percival.

[Elder] Well then, I trust you'll rescue everyone.

[Percival] Leave it to me.

I'm experiencing abdominal pain.

Okay, fine. You stay here.

All right, everyone, let's hurry to the Crystal Grotto.

I'm the leader, so follow me!

-Since when is she in charge? -[pants]

I have no choice. I gotta babysit them.

That boy is certainly peculiar, isn't he?

He's just a country bumpkin.

[Elder] But I see now.

He's the knight from the prophecy.

One of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.

The very one destined to bring hope to this world.

[all panting]

[panting]

[Percival] This has to be the place.

[Nasiens] Crystal bedrock.

It certainly looks that way.

[Sin] I'm sensing some eerie magic here.

That old bastard must have rigged traps.

-Don't go rushing in recklessly... -[Percival] Let's go!

-[Donny] Yeah! -[Percival] Come on, hurry, hurry, hurry.

-[Donny] No, not so fast, Percival. -[Anne] Hey, I'm the leader, remember?

[shimmering]

Wow, wow, wow!

These crystals are so beautiful.

Bet they're worth a fortune.

-[Anne] You have no sense of romance. -[Donny chuckles]

All right, everyone, watch your step in here.

-[Donny] And your head too. -[groans]

[Anne] We're pretty deep inside the cave now.

How much farther does this go?

[Nasiens] The path is becoming quite narrow as well.

[Percival chuckles] The Elder won't fit through here.

Get out here! You can't hide forever, you milksop!

The Great Donny's got two fists with your name on them.

Wow, Donny. You sure do become a bold lad

when you have the upper hand, don't you?

Since that's the case, why don't you go ahead

-and take the lead on this one? -[whimpers]

Woah. Hey, cut it out!

But still, Donny might be onto something.

What do you mean?

Just think, out of all the Holy Knights we've fought so far,

I get the feeling he's the weakest.

Yeah, that's true.

[Anne] Compared to Ironside,

his combat skills seemed almost amateurish.

And that's not all, either.

The whole time that he was fighting with Percival or Anne,

I never once saw him use a drop of magic.

It's rather puzzling.

-[Ardd] Well, you figured me out. -[all gasp]

Fighting has never been my forte.

[all gasp]

Mr. Ardd, where are you?

The reverberation from the crystals is masking his true location.

[Ardd] What's more, my magic takes time before its effects begin to show.

Unless I lead you into a maze and stall you like this,

I will surely be the loser.

The effect takes time?

Hold us up all you want. There's no way we'll lose to you.

Yeah, what Percy said.

We'll have you cornered like the rat you are.

[Ardd] You little brats are clearly a spirited bunch.

But you should be careful.

The one doing the cornering may end up

being the one who's cornered.

Just come on and show yourself... [yelps]

[Percival] Hey, I can't see anything.

[Anne] What on earth are you doing?

It's like my helmet suddenly got bigger and...

[Nasiens] Huh?

It's quite apparent that we've run out of light ahead of us.

[Donny] Oh, not you too.

[screams]

What's the problem now?

[whimpers]

[baby Anne] Percival's a baby.

[babbles]

Hey, Percival, what the heck happened to you?

Ask yourself that, Donny.

Wait, is that you? Nasiens?

[baby Anne] N-No way. [gasps]

This can't really be happening.

Are we actually turning into babies right now?

Whoa, I'm feeling all wobbly.

You're going to be okay?

[babbles]

[Ardd] Seems you realized a bit too late.

[baby Anne] Mr. Ardd!

[Ardd] I have the ability to rewind the passage of life

turning whoever's within range into infants.

This is my magic, "Reverse."

You can no longer fight in your current state.

Looks like I win, children.

[both gasp]

Hey, Percival! Donny!

We should all retreat for now.

-[crying] -[laughing]

[Anne] Come on!

Seriously, you two. Why are you both acting like a couple of babies?

The pace may be a bit different,

but eventually, each of your minds will regress

to infancy just as your bodies have.

This can't be happening.

[suspenseful music]

[all crying]

All that remains is just fulfilling my mission.

[babbles]

[Ardd] You're quite impressive, young Knight of the Apocalypse.

Even as an infant, you won't cry. You sure have some nerve.

Before I get rid of you for good, I must retrieve the dragon relief.

-[baby Percival cooing] -[soft gasp]

Hm?

[baby Percival cooing]

[Ardd grunts] Hey, let go!

He may be just an infant, but he's ridiculously strong.

-[giggling] -[Ardd grunting]

[Ardd] I'm not trying to play with you!

Hey! Where do you think you're going?

[yelps] Why, you little brat!

How dare you mock me!

-I swear I'll... -[babbles]

-Ugh... -[baby Percival giggles]

[baby Percival cooing]

[determined grunt]

[baby Anne grunts]

[gasps]

-[Ardd] Anne. -[sobbing]

-[Anne sobbing] -[hesitates]

[Ardd grunts] Don't you move from this spot.

Understand, Anne.

-Whatever the cost may be... -[sobbing]

...the Four Knights of the Apocalypse must be dealt with.

I don't ever want to go through that pain again.

Or be the one to put anyone else through it.

So please, Anne, do not cry. Okay?

-[crying] -[Ardd sighs]

[baby Anne crying]

[crying]

[Ardd] Oh, what's wrong? What's wrong, my princess?

Don't worry, your daddy's right here.

Now, now, don't you cry.

Bleh!

Bleh! [laughing]

[both laugh]

Mm. You're happy now?

Ouch, hey, hey. Be careful with Daddy.

You sure like your daddy's nose, don't you, Connie?

-[Connie giggling] -[laughs]

[male villager] Ardbeg!

This village is doomed to hell!

Before that horde of demons goes back for another attack,

take your daughter and run for your... [gasps]

[dramatic music playing]

[Ardd crying]

Anne...

Could it be that you're trying to comfort me?

[babbles]

[Ardd] Oh, the sweet girl you are.

But still, I can't forget the mission that I promised to fulfill.

[baby Percival babbling]

[yelling]

You brat.

Even in your current state,

are you still trying to do whatever you can to protect Anne?

[grunts]

Well, you can relax.

The only baby I'm killing here is you.

I won't hurt Anne or the others.

Hmm? [gasps]

I cannot allow you to kill that child.

[closing theme music]
