It's from yesterday so the embers are still warm.

Answer!

It's Ema. Nice to meet you.

Let me hear what kind of scream a Makai Priest makes.

That boy?!

León! Look away from the fire within you!

It's over if you get consumed by it!

Madou Ring Zaruba:

A Horror that has no enmity toward people is sealed within it,

and it grants power to whomever it forms a contract with.

It shall always be alongside the knight and light the way for him.

Where there is cause, Horrors appear and consume humans.

But since ancient times, there have been hunters of such creatures.

Men donned in armor, the Makai Knights!

You are the one who will bring...

GARO!

GARO!

GARO!

Oh warrior born in burning hellfire

You must bear darkness and hatred on your shoulders

The silent promises you've sworn have become heavy steel

Until the moment you cut off the root of darkness

Something hot chips away and sears though you in this life

If you want it, I'll give it to you

The mark of fire that rises forth

Don't turn back! Cut through!

Until you've broken through the darkness

Your golden fangs are fated by inherited blood

Your soul that has been swallowed by sadness and pain

The only light that will reach the heavens is GARO

There was a message at the Watchdog Center.

Zaruba is almost complete.

Inherit it before my life comes to an end.

So, that's how it is.

We're going to go and get it now.

The place is somewhere between Arzhala and Rox.

Are you serious?! We're going over the mountains?

Yeah, it is troublesome. Maybe we shouldn't go?

I'm not the one who'll get burned to a crisp by the flames either.

With time, I'll be sure to suppress the flames with my own strength anyways.

Yeah. I got it. I got it.

But a Golden Knight wouldn't be complete without his Madou Ring, right?

It's better to claim Zaruba sooner than later.

Sounds like an interesting conversation.

That—

Good evening.

You!

So you two are staying at this inn, too?

What an amazing coincidence!

I thought you hated Makai Knights!

I do.

Especially little kids who don't yet know the taste of alcohol.

What?!

Now, now. Don't fight over stupid things while drinking.

Join us!

Excuse me. I haven't introduced myself yet.

My name is Ema Guzmán.

Germán Luís. This is my son, Le—

León Luís!

So? Has León found a way to calm his flames?

Well, yes. Priest Gael...

Huh?!

Priest Gael is considered the highest-level priest in this district!

He's a genius priest that invented the Madou Bell at the young age of thirteen!

Right. I asked that priest, Gael, to repair the Madou Ring.

I see. Once he gets that, he'll be a full-fledged Golden Knight!

Dad! Why are you telling her all of this?!

She's such a suspicious Makai Priest!

Who cares?

Oh?

What's this?

You...

I'm heading to bed.

León!

I hope you're not offended.

Oh!

Thank you for the drink.

Well, good night.

Huh? This pattern again?

The hell?

Old man! Get me another beer!

Hey! Let's go!

Ema isn't here.

Who cares about a priest like her?!

Master Gael!

It's fine, Marcelo!

It is almost complete.

I have to make sure this body of mine lasts until Roberto returns.

I will take a short break. Clean up the rest.

Yes.

Dad!

Priest Gael! It's Roberto!

I've come for the item!

Priest Gael! Please stop attacking!

It's Roberto!

Roberto?!

You idiot!

You can't even tell a Horror and a knight apart from each other?!

That's why you still haven't graduated from being an apprentice knight!

Now, now.

Marcelo!

Wait! Marcelo!

I'm sorry, Roberto. No, was it Germán now?

Either one is fine.

It looks like everyone is having problems with the growth of their successors.

Sixteen years...

The hellish witch hunts of Valiante still continue.

Only a few have stayed with the Watchdog Center.

At this rate, the day when Horrors fill the land is near.

But I am already like this.

Don't cry, Marcelo. You are a Makai Knight.

Priest Gael.

This is the Madou Ring.

Anna inherited this with the armor of the Golden Knight.

It looks like the one sealed within it is gone.

Yes. I would like to ask you to repair this for me.

So that child will inherit Garo?

I understand.

One more thing.

Flames?

It doesn't seem to be anything to worry about.

I would be happy if that were the case.

It will take time.

I do not mind!

As long as it is ready by the time this child takes the sword.

I understand. This will be my last job.

I see. It's finally time.

There is no need to fear, young knight.

I am sure that Zaruba will lead the flames within you down the right path.

Yes.

Your eyes are similar to the previous Garo.

M-My grandfather?

We fought together when we were young. He was truly the strongest knight in the land.

His blood now runs in your veins.

All that's left is the final repairs. I will use all my power to finish the Madou Ring.

Wait just a bit longer.

Why now? I thought he wouldn't come back.

I've protected it all this time. My Madou Ring.

My Zaruba.

Sixteen years.

A lot of time has passed.

I am sure they will be able to accomplish our cherished wish.

...right?

...arcelo.

Is it all right? Is it really all right?

Is it really all right to hand the Madou Ring over to them?

The power is here if you wish. As you desire!

I did it, Marcelo!

Look. How beautiful.

With this, everything is finished.

No!

I won't hand it over to anyone!

Zaruba is mine!

I did it! I did it!

Oh, my.

Who are you?!

I'm on a pilgrimage.

I heard that there is a fountain in this area blessed by saints.

You're a Makai Priest?!

And it seems you are a Makai Knight?

What is a Makai Priest doing in a place like this?!

Right back at you. What do you have in your hand?

I'm sorry. I meant to end things a little more cleverly.

So this is Zaruba...

Hey! What happened?!

Th-The Madou Ring was stolen.

Master Gael was attacked by a string-wielding Makai Priest woman.

String-wielder? It can't be!

Sh-She went that way.

All right.

Can you stand? Hang in there.

Is Priest Gael all right?

I'm very sorry. I'm very sorry.

Where are you?! There's no use in running!

You're not going berserk again, are you?

Give Zaruba back!

Boy, I'm sorry, but it's not here.

Don't joke around!

I just let my guard down a bit. I didn't think he had turned into a Horror.

He still has Zaruba. Is Priest Gael all right?

Um. I'm sorry.

I'll go search for the Madou Ring as well.

Before that, can you let me see that sword of yours?

The string-wielder you spoke of... We've seen Ema's skills and know about them.

At the very least, there's no way she could have left an injury like this.

I can only come to one conclusion if you don't show me, right?

I don't know why you did a thing like this.

I don't think Zaruba is what you think it is.

Shut up!

Dad!

León! Be careful!

Marcelo is already...

Yeah!

I'll destroy you all with the power of the Madou Ring!

Wh-What's going on?

You should listen to others until the end.

Only the Golden Knight can form a contract with Zaruba.

It's meaningless for anyone else, no matter how strong a knight or priest you are.

I won't accept it. Something like that, I definitely won't accept it!

Dad.

Idiot! What are you thinking?!

You'll go berserk again!

I'm depending on you, then.

Yeah. Yeah. I got it.

Damn, you never listen to me!

That was payback for earlier.

New Golden bearer, are you prepared to form a contract with me?

Yes.

I am not your servant, but one who stands beside you through contract.

For my power, you shall offer your life to me every new moon.

My name is Zaruba. I came to be when Garo came to be and I am forever with him.

My Zaruba!

With this, no one will be able to rummage through Priest Gael's mementos.

Thank you.

Were you following us in order to target Zaruba?

Well, kind of.

I thought I had some business to take care of, but it looks like I was wrong.

I'll have to wait until you're full-fledged.

I'm off.

Maybe we'll meet in Santa Bard, next?

There's no need to try and ditch me anymore.

That's too bad.

I like to be the one being chased every once in a while.

What do you mean?

Don't tell me... You didn't realize?

What?

That woman!

The man who made an attempt on the King's life is hiding near this town!

Report all sightings immediately!

Knowingly aiding in his escape is punishable by death!

Father. Mother.

So monsters like you are trying to steal our country from us?!

In the name of Valiante, I refuse to allow it, even if my opponents are demons!

What's the truth of end of the world?

While there's life, there's pleasure

While there's life, there's hope

The thing that interrupts the will to stand

Is illusion born from smoke

Listen to the bell of regret

Atone for our time lost

With the pain of eternity

and the weight of the burning mark

Survival is also fate

For the hopes inherited by blood

The reason left behind

I will implore the land

Oh the voice that echoes awakens my hesitation

Oh so that the path that has been engraved will not be repeated

What's the truth of ending?

Coming around, going around

What's the truth of avenging?

Toward the empty future

The Horror beasts that feed off greed.

Everyone has darkness within their hearts.

That is why they cannot perish completely.
