Hey, bossman!

It's Sir Garou!

Nice to you see you, boss!

Wouldja care to hook up with my sister, sir?

Sir Garou! I'd love to hear about your adventures sometime!

That's right, megastar coming through. Keep singing my praises, peons.

Hey, street trash.

Stay outta my sight.

Friggin' human.

Little maggot.

Hot damn, sir! Even the way you drink is badass!

Bring more booze! The best you've got!

Feel free to stuff your faces, boys.

Thank you, sir!

Yum!

This is the best!

Order whatever you want.

I've got fat stacks of cash for days.

You're an idol to us low-born types, boss!

Seeing you go from slum orphan to soon-to-be pack leader is totally inspiring!

It's crazy! We're sitting next to the defacto number one of the wolf tribe!

Wish I could be like you, boss.

Well, it ain't easy.

Gotta learn clever ways to use the Instinctual Perception that us beastfolk are born with.

But yours is a cut above the rest, boss!

I mean, even the dragonutes bow down to your skills!

It's all in the nose. The power of smell.

Gotta sort out the decent jobs from the gnarly ones by their scent.

That's how I hit the big time, by only accepting the real good shit.

Even that job from three years back?

You mean the Concord of Tribes?

What kinda job was it?

Dumbass! He can't talk about it!

That was a covert op only he could pull off!

Sorry, boys. The federation demands my secrecy on that one.

Oh, sorry, sir.

Don't sweat it. Just drink up.

Thank you!

That was the cushiest friggin' job ever.

All I had to do was kill one pathetic human kid who they suspected might be a Maestro.

Now, I'm rich and famous.

It kinda bothered me that we never found Light after he teleported,

but there's no way he survived.

Still, wish I knew more about this "Maestro" every country in the world is so frantic to find...

Forget it. I can tell digging any deeper is risky.

Not going to screw myself by poking the bear.

I'm thirsty! Bring another round!

Pardon me for interrupting your party.

The drying trail

And the mystifying sky

Come together as a guide

At the hour of death

The fate reeled in by hand

Is a haze of countless lies

Abruptly there come whispers

The falsehoods of sinners

What are they asking?

Where is the trust?

Worlds connected

By tears that flow

The sound of solitude

Was supposed to change

If we joined hands

Now it fights incessantly

To reach for you

The beat simply dances

Do not resist

Life has already

Slipped right through

These hands that snatched the shell

EPISODE 3

THE LORD OF DESTRUCTION

You okay?

Yes.

Please don't mind me.

Atta girl. Tough it out just a little longer.

We've already invested a whole month bringing you to this gnarly part of the dungeon.

Am I correct to assume you are Sir Garou, former member of the Concord of Tribes?

What makes you think you can talk to him, human?!

Chill out, boys.

That's right, I'm Garou. Whaddya want?

My name is Mei. I live in service to Master Light as his most loyal maid.

Huh? "Master" Light?

For some time now, I have been searching for the whereabouts of Master Light.

She works for Light? Does she know something?

As it so happens, Master Light is a key figure of noble descent.

Noble descent? That little twerp?

You ain't fooling anybody with that load of bullshit, missy!

I'm afraid that I cannot divulge the specifics, so I hope you will not ask further questions.

The bigwigs should've dug up every possible detail on Light.

Plus, that twerp never said a word about being from nobility.

But on the off chance this girl is telling the truth...

I smell loads of cash!

I'm still finding this hard to swallow.

I have been traveling all over the world in search of Master Light.

And it was only recently that I learned he had joined a party of adventurers.

But it also came with news he had already perished in the Abyss...

So, whaddya want from me?

Please escort me!

I would like to check the place where Master Light was last seen alive for myself!

That comes with a lotta risk.

Naturally, I am prepared to pay you for your assistance.

H-holy crap!

Boss! That's pure gold!

Light's from some noble family? She's gonna pay me just for an escort?

Is this a trap?

Even assuming it is, a single human bitch doesn't pose much of a threat.

I can make short work of her.

All right. You got yourself a deal.

Really, you'll do it?

The money ain't even a factor.

Light was one of my best buds. Like a brother.

So I owe it to him to help you.

You're looking at the future leader of the wolf tribe.

I'll gather a pack of my most elite men

and escort you through the danger-infested dungeon known as the Abyss!

Thank you, sir.

Thank you so much!

Sure thing.

I'll make sure you reach your goal without a scratch, missy.

And then...

I'll take that pretty little face

and that bombshell of a body

and ravish the hell out of it right on top of Light's grave!

Ah, I can't friggin' wait!

So, this is where Master Light died?

Yeah. A pack of monsters got the drop on us and slashed Light up real bad,

then he was unfortunately caught in a teleport trap and we never saw him again.

No... Master Light!

I'm sorry. The attack came as a surprise to all of us and we couldn't react in time.

We've cut off the only escape route.

These inferiors are so stupid.

Despite the tough guy I am, I failed to keep Light safe.

My heart truly bleeds for him.

Huh?

Brought to this dismal and grimy dungeon,

only to get betrayed by vile scum

and beaten within an inch of his life.

If only I had entered his service a little earlier,

then I swear he would have never suffered the pain of being kicked and shot with arrows.

Ugh. The shame is unbearable.

How the hell does she know about that?!

What's the matter, bossman?

The only people who really know what happened here are those of us from the Concord of Tribes,

and a few elite executives from each nation.

Who the hell are you?! Who do you work for?!

Did another tribe send you to spy on me?!

Me? A spy?

My allegiance belongs wholly and exclusively to Master Light.

If you insist on insulting my maid's honor, then so be it.

We'll find out which of us is truly rotten on the inside...

after your guts are on the floor!

Wh-what the hell?! How am I scared by her?!

She's just some human bitch!

Nothing but a piece of ass for us to screw and then pawn off!

This makes no damn sense! What's sending all these chills down my spine?!

Oh, shit. I'm dead!

Mei, settle down.

Garou is mine to play with.

Right.

We're in the heart of the Abyss!

There's no way a snot-nosed human brat can make it down here!

Keep your eyes peeled! He must have friends with him!

What should we do, bossman?

N-no friggin' way...

This can't be real.

You're not dead, you little bastard?!

Howdy! I'm here to get payback with three years of interest, Garou.

Who the hell?

Do you really know this brat, bossman?

What is even happening right now?!

Fill us in!

I never imagined you'd still be alive.

What a riot!

A puny level 15 human? Here for payback?

Against a level 150 badass like me?

I've never been more thankful that humans are so friggin' stupid!

I dunno how your sorry ass managed to survive,

but you made a huge mistake showing your face in front of me.

Cuz after I kill you and bring the body back,

I'm guaranteed to be king of the beastfolk!

Aren't you curious how I'm alive, or what my connection to Mei is?

The normal reaction here would be to demand some answers.

Good point. I can't tell how strong your creepy girlfriend is.

But who cares?

Two humans can't do jack shit.

Not against a pack of beastfolk like us.

Plus, all of my boys here are over level 130.

We'll steamroll you!

You're nothing but an ordinary human with a worthless Gift.

And I'm betting it was only dumb luck that you survived cuz this little missy saved your hide!

Well, you're not wrong about that.

There's no hope for you now! Kiss your ass goodbye!

He's just a human brat!

Tear him to shreds!

Huh?

Anyone who dares to threaten Master Light shall pay...

by losing their heads.

Thanks, Mei.

Go and block off the exit for me, would you?

Of course!

It would be my pleasure. I swear upon the maid's code that none of them shall escape.

What the hell just happened?!

It was all a blur to me.

Their heads just went flying.

Calm down, you dipshits!

It was a sneak attack! Cheap tricks like that are the only way an inferior could beat us!

Still haven't changed after all these years, eh?

So convinced that humans are inferior.

Have you never considered that maybe you're the weaker ones?

Don't make me laugh!

Humans are just feeble losers with tiny pools of mana!

You're low level trash, turdnugget!

Feast your eyes! Cuz this is what real power looks like!

The levels typically achieved by each race differ greatly.

And the accompanying discrimination is what gave rise to widespread disdain for humans.

No friggin' duh!

We're higher on the food chain! Way beyond what you losers are capable of!

All right. Then explain how two of your men are dead.

Huh?

You must've used a magic item or something!

Don't pretend you're hot shit, human!

Why're you looking at me like that?

Die, turdnugget!

What's the matter? You done already?

Stupid human trash...

Stupid human trash!

You're a loser, Light.

Don't you dare look down on me. I'm better than you!

You friggin' twerp!

I'm gonna wipe that smarmy look off your face and make you piss your goddamn pants!

Arise! Magibeast Fenrir!

Here comes the pain, turdnugget!

This is my ace in the hole! A level 500 Fenrir!

Whoa!

What a crazy secret weapon!

Only level 500? How pitifully weak.

Say what? Has the fear made you lose your marbles?

Go on. Beg for your life.

Whine and whimper just like you did three years ago!

I wanna see you drop down on all fours and say, "Spare me, Lord Garou!"

Bring it.

Huh?

I promise I won't move a foot from here, so do whatever you want.

Think you're so funny, huh? Fine then, I'll just have this bad boy wipe you out of existence!

Eat this! Blazing Magibeast Howl!

The entire mana pool of a level 500 monster focused in one blast!

Enough to make barbeque outta any human... huh?

That's quite the fancy name you gave to an attack that basically did nothing but kick up a bunch of dust.

Don't you feel silly?

That's impossible...

H-how did he survive that attack?

This is insane!

He has enough power to totally smother an attack from a level 500 monster? This little twerp?!

Well, I guess that means it's my turn now.

Calling that pitiful pooch of yours, "Fenrir" gives people the wrong impression, you know.

Let me show you. This is the real deal.

Release. Level 9000. Ultra rare card.

Primal God Wolf Fenrir!

Wolf Fenrir. Kill that mutt.

Y-you have a monster strong enough to wipe out my Fenrir in the blink of an eye?

Yeah, but I could've just as easily handled that level 500 Magibeast myself.

Wh-what?

Feast your eyes.

This is my current level.

Humans max out at level 100, don't they?

This has to be some kinda joke.

W-wait a second. You're an imposter, aren't you?

I mean, you look exactly like he did three years ago.

The same face and body.

But any normal human would have grown by now!

I wear the Bracelet of Youth. It stops me from aging.

Do you know why I use it?

To remind me of all the pain, anger, and despair from back then.

I always want it fresh in my mind.

S-so, he's the real Light?

It doesn't matter. I can't beat him either way.

He's a friggin' monstrosity.

This is it. I'm dead meat.

He's gonna kill me. He's gonna kill me...!

I beg your forgiveness!

I had no choice but to follow orders from the federation!

I never meant to hurt you! Even today's scheme was something these guys all cooked up on their own!

You can't be serious!

You're the one who told us it was easy money!

Shaddup!

I'll admit it. I betrayed your trust, Master Light.

B-but remember all the good times that we had?

So, have a heart, at least spare me. Please, Master Light?

Oh, cut the crap!

You chickenshit!

There is some information I want from you.

Y-yes?

Tell me everything that you know about this "Maestro" thing.

M-Maestro, you say?

W-well, to be honest, all they told us was to go search for one...

Why is the government so keen on finding a Maestro?

Uh, I have no idea.

Then why did you all try to kill me once you knew I wasn't a Maestro?

Uh, I'm not sure.

I'm serious, I don't know anything!

What about you guys?

O-of course I know!

Yeah, same!

I have your answers!

R-right, me too.

Quit lying, dammit!

Any attempts to deceive Master Light shall be met with the death sentence.

Garou.

There is one more question I have for you.

Y-yes?

Given what you've seen of our power,

do you think that we could win if we launched a war against the surface world?

What is that perception you're so proud of telling you?

W-well, shucks...

Oh, don't bother lying. Mei is equipped with the Eye of Truth that can see through everything.

To be honest...

C-c-considering the great amount of power that you possess,

I'm sure the battle would go in your favor at the outset.

However...

no matter how high your level, you're still just one person.

The various nations of the world have spent many years stockpiling weapons, armor, and special items.

Once they rally those against you,

I'm afraid even you might have a hard time...

Ah, I see!

That's exactly what I assumed.

There is only so much that a single person can do upon the battlefield, after all.

I have more questions for you, but we'll teleport first, okay?

Huh?

Teleport. Release!

Where are we...?

You may rise, everyone. And display your stats.

These are the forces that I've amassed over the last three years.

So I'll ask you once again, Garou.

Do I stand a good chance at winning if I go to war with the nations of the surface world?

Your face tells me all I need to know.

Congratulations, you've earned the reward of languishing in pain and despair far worse than death.

We gave birth to this godforsaken monstrosity.

He could end the world at the drop of a hat.

We're doomed.

He's the Lord of Destruction.

Like a g-god...

Are y-you trying to become a god or what?

A god, eh? I do like the sound of that.

Someone is hiding the truth from me. For reasons that are either righteous or nefarious.

And whether I take the path to being an altruistic god or a satanic monarch depends on that.

Because with my Gift...

I can either grant blessings and fortune, or drown everything in death and despair.

The world has a chance to prove which it deserves by answering the question I've posed.

Now, let us begin our march from the Abyss to the surface.

Out of the darkness and into the light.

At the edge of sharpened doubts

I repaint my colors and form as I wish

Caught, cherished, tamed

I am not like you

Flickering, weeping, taking only myself as an ally

As I spread my wings, I begin to see

Steering with the wind's guidance

I cut through the murky sky

Soaring to unreachable heights

Even old rain bounces off the ground and dances

You can't take this from me

With steadfast eyes, I set my course that day
