Original subtitles

I demand that you raise Lord Dark's rank immediately!

Wh-while I understand your frustration,

we just made a special exception the other day to promote him straight to D-Rank from F-Rank.

That's really the best you can do despite all he's achieved?!

Well, we have a system in place...

So, what?! Lord Dark's greatness cannot be measured by any system!

He deserves nothing less than the S-EX Rank!

She still doesn't get how bad that makes him sound...

There's nothing I can do. Not enough time has passed since he first registered as an adventurer.

B-but perhaps if you achieved another big feat of some kind!

A big feat, huh?

There's an Adventurer Killer on the loose.

This could do the trick.

Sounds like a bally good way to rank up to me.

Except, there's no information to go on since the suspect is still unidentified.

What if you used your Gift to pull a specialized card that could track them down, old chap?

The cards I get from the gacha are randomized. I doubt we would get that lucky.

Well, then, let's call in backup from the Abyss.

And do what, cast a net of people?

This Adventurer Killer has only been targeting humans. We can't just let them go unchecked.

We have incoming!

EPISODE 6

THE ADVENTURER KILLER

Have to hurry... and tell Mr. Dark... what happened...

Release. Heal.

My apologies, Miya. I'm going to pry into your memories, okay?

Release. SR Hypnosis.

Adventurer Killer?!

Yeah, that's right.

And so far all of the victims have been human.

You're sure it's not a monster?

Just think about it, what kind of monster can cast multiple spells with different attributes?

Big Bro! If that's true, then we wouldn't stand a chance!

We're getting out of here.

You kids should leave as soon as you can, too.

Spread the word if you come across anybody who hasn't heard the news yet.

All right.

Good luck!

What's the plan, leader?

We're leaving.

There's not much time before the sunset. We have to hurry.

Keep pushing, guys! Let's get as far away as possible!

Roger that!

Okay.

This is rough after all the walking we did during the day.

Night has already fallen, but we haven't even gone half the distance that we need to.

Even so, we definitely can't risk camping here...

What seems to be the problem?

It's dangerous to be out here at night. Are you having trouble of some kind?

Uh, leader, we've run into these guys before...

Yeah.

Hey, Big Bro? What if they haven't heard the news?

Oh. Good point!

Did something happen?

Well, we heard there's been a string of murders around here by an Adventurer Killer.

It's dangerous for everyone, so you all should consider leaving the dungeon like we are.

I see. That would explain why the number of adventurers around here suddenly dropped off.

Thank you for filling us in.

They don't seem so bad, after all!

Gimra!

We should have put more effort into covering it up.

Huh?

I never expected the peons would react so quickly.

You and me both.

It seems the Adventurer Guild is more of a well-oiled machine than we gave them credit for.

Huh?

Um, what are you guys talking about?

Ugh, typical humans.

Do I really have to spell it out for you?

These worms are always dumb as dirt.

Oh no, don't tell me...

You're the last batch of bugs I'm going to squash today! Is that clear enough for you?

It's the Adventurer Killer!

Guilty as charged!

Run away.

Huh?

Run for it, Miya!

We'll fight him and buy you time to escape!

Hold on, did I hear that right?

You're clearly outclassed and outgunned! And yet, you bottom feeders think you can buy time against ME?!

No, Big Brother!

Leader!

Please, no...!

Go, Miya.

Get on your feet. Now!

Run far away!

Wordy...?

I'll be damned. Who knew Wordy could shout like that?

Guess it's time for me to strut my stuff, too.

No, don't!

Tsk! Annoying little insects!

Take it easy, Mr. Kyto!

Noooooo!

Mr. Kyto! I can't use them in my experiments unless they're alive!

Shut it.

I already told you I would grind these worms into meat if they wasted any time trying to fight back.

But you've killed too many of them!

I left one of them alive, didn't I?

Well, I'll admit that human mages are especially valuable.

But those young boys were just as indispensable to me!

All right, fine.

I promise to be more careful next time.

Anyways, would you care to have a little fun with this one?

What do you mean?

To get your rocks off.

Huh?

Help yourself. I am beyond indulging in such base desires.

Okay, then. I don't mind having her all to myself.

Ah, just make sure you don't kill her!

Yeah, yeah.

N-no! Stay away!

How strange. What are you frightened of?

You've caught a lucky break. A future legendary hero such as myself is willing to use you for pleasure.

And what higher honor is there for female humans than getting laid by a vastly superior elf?

I should be hearing you cheer and sing with glee right now.

Go on. Don't be shy.

Weep tears of joy and tell me how thankful you are. Do it!

Miya...

What?

Run away, Miya!

Big Brother!

Wow! Look at how he clings to life so fiercely!

Mr. Kyto! This is one human that I must insist you capture alive!

He's a prime specimen for my experiment!

Tsk.

I'm pretty much dead already, but that doesn't matter.

I have to save Miya no matter what!

Big Brother...

Big Brother!

Run for it, Miya.

Get out of here and live a long life.

Enough for all of us!

Mr. Kyto! She's getting away! Hurry and capture her!

"Don't kill this one." "Capture that one."

Who made you the boss of me, dammit?

And remember I need that one alive, okay?

I know!

But these goddamn worms are harder to catch than they are to kill.

Battles are about... creativity and skill...

Gotta use my head... make moves to... throw him off...

What are you muttering about?

Shield for defense... sword for offense...

Defending with a shield and attacking with a sword.

While that's not the wrong approach, it's not the best one, either.

Battles are all about creativity and skill!

What the hell?

Creepy little punk.

Here goes nothing!

I just need a well-timed counter...

and I can turn my shield into...

a mighty weapon!

Suck on that, loser.

You stupid human piece of shit!

Nobody gets away with punching my majestic face!

I'll make you suffer pain worse than death!

Wait a second, Mr. Kyto!

Shove off!

You must hurry after the specimen that escaped!

Things will get complicated if the people on the outside learn about what we've been doing!

Have to hurry! Have to let somebody know!

What a pain in the ass.

It seems you need to be taught a lesson on how to properly act in the presence of a future legendary hero.

No way...

I can create multiple blades and control them at will.

Because I wield the Elven Queendom's phantasma-class weapon, the legendary sword known as Grandius!

Do you understand now?

Catching you human worms is a simple task for me.

I'm not giving up.

I can't waste the precious time that my brother and friends bought for me.

Magic power! I ask that you come to my aid in the form of a blade!

Ice Sword!

You know you can't beat me.

Tsk! How obnoxious.

I have to hurry! Mr. Dark can help me! I'm sure of it!

That's enough of your vain attempts to escape.

It's time that you give up and relish in the glory of getting laid by a legendary hero!

Yeah, right.

Huh?

You're no legendary hero. That only describes people who are as kind as they are strong, like Mr. Dark!

You're just a bully who picks on the weak!

I swear, being a bully is all that guy knows how to do.

It's funny because he's a total brown-noser around the captain.

No wonder he got kicked out of the White Knights!

Serves him right.

I heard he hit his level limit, too.

He's got no future.

You're nothing but a spineless loser!

Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up!

SHUT UP!

I can't die here. I have to survive no matter what.

They sacrificed themselves to give me this chance.

So I have reach Mr. Dark.

And tell him what happened!

Milord.

Master Light.

Let's go.

Good grief.

It's simply preposterous to waste such an excellent specimen.

Mr. Kyto! Did you catch the girl?

You better not have killed her, too!

Damn. So, she's not here, either?

I thought she doubled back to save her friend.

Wait, did you lose track of her?!

You, a former member of the White Knights, bested by a mere child?!

She vanished into thin air!

Say, what?

How the hell was I supposed to know that little bitch had a magic teleportation item on her?!

Don't be ridiculous! There's no way a human would have something that valuable!

Yeah, well, she did!

Then we're in deep trouble.

If she reaches the guild and spills the beans about us, then word will spread to the Elven Queendom.

And soon enough, they'll figure out where the stolen Grandius has gone...

The White Knights will come for us. Along with their infernal captain!

I've heard that he's beyond level 3000. And all the knights in his command are in the 2000s.

Plus, they have weapons on par with Grandius.

Unbelievable! I'm too good for this to happen to me!

Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!

Get a hold of yourself, Mr. Kyto.

Why the hell should I!

I simply need to complete my research.

Then you can surpass your level limit and all our problems will be solved.

Yes! That's brilliant!

We have nothing to fear from the White Knights whatsoever!

Let's make haste and find someplace else to wrap up my research.

You're not going anywhere.

I remember you!

Wh-where did he come from?

Nobody just sneaks up on a level 1500 like me.

So how the hell...?

Gimra.

Wordy.

Milord.

Elio still has signs of life in him.

His wounds have been patched up, although very sloppily.

Huh?! How did they...?

Release. Heal.

Why would anyone do this?

Huh?

Why did these kids have to suffer such injustice?

They stood firm in a world of awful discrimination,

doing their absolute best to make an honest living while supporting Miya's dreams for the future.

They didn't deserve this.

It's too late to change anything now.

But maybe, under different circumstances, we all could have grown to become close friends.

Suffice to say, I'm going to make you bastards pay for this.

Really now?

Pardon me, but I believe you've gotten the wrong idea.

As you can clearly see, I'm the one who treated that young man and saved him from death's doorstep.

Don't try and pin the blame on us, you human shitstain.

I took the girl who you were chasing under my protection.

Don't worry. I haven't told the guild anything.

Talk about a lucky break!

Then I just need to kill all of you alongside that little bitch and we get off scott-free!

Things always go my way! Because I'm a legendary hero! Blessed by the Goddess!

You? A hero?

That's a funny thing for a scumbag to say.

What?

You two are mine to smite. I won't let the guild have you.

You'll suffer what they did and more. So much so, that you'll be begging for the sweet release of death.

And I swear upon my name that when all is said and done,

I'll tear the life from you with my own hands!

You two stay out of this.

Righto.

As you wish.

What kind of look is that?

You goddamn human worms don't get to sneer at me like that.

I'm going to flay you alive, stuff your skin in your mouth, and then slice you to pieces from the bottom up!

Die. Die. Die. Die.

FUCKING DIE!

Huh?

Is that all you've got?

You goddamn worm! Bottom feeder! Human trash!

Die! Die! Die!

Ridiculous! No human can do that! Especially not a child!

Shit! Shit! Shit!

Blimey. He's like a mad dog.

Can't do anything but swing his sword in rage, huh?

Pathetic.

Mr. Kyto!

I wish you would do a little better than that.

Otherwise, I might just kill you on accident.

Mr. Tough Guy.

Enough of your bullshit! No lowly human trash gets to make fun of me!

Grandius!

Tremble! And weep!

For this is the power of a phantasma-class weapon, the legendary Grandius!

You'll regret ever messing with me! Infernal human!

That's a surprise.

They've all been enchanted with magic.

Yes, but each one seems to have a different attribute.

Well, that's not a problem for Master Light.

This attack definitely has some oomph to it. But not nearly enough.

Mr. Kyto summoned a sword as a foothold to sneak behind him and that kid still withstood the attack?!

How is there a human who can go toe-to-toe with an elf wielding a phantasma-class weapon?

That's impossible!

You dirty cheat!

You dress like a mage, but you're actually a warrior, aren't you?

You think you're so smart tricking people with that outfit!

Humans really are nothing but loathsome creatures!

Huh? It's no trick. I really am a mage.

Bullshit! No mage can possibly fight on an equal level with me!

Poor bloke. It's no wonder he's so confused, given that milord is truly one of a kind.

I think, "Unlimited Card Mage" has a nice ring to it.

That's our Master Light.

Release! Ice Sword!

Ice Sword?! And with no incantation?!

Dammit!

This is bullshit!

He countered them?!

This is unreal...

He's using Ice Sword to pick off the clones of Grandius one by one.

That requires magic power far beyond any elven mage!

I'm not done!

I can't believe what I'm seeing.

He's using Ice Sword like a barrier?!

Finished with your tantrum yet?

You stupid shitstain!

I don't buy it! This must be some kind of joke!

It's ridiculous!

A future legendary hero like me could never be bested by some human brat who lies through his teeth!

The Maestro of old was bequeathed Grandius by the heavens above!

It's a holy sword that surpasses any other!

I should be unbeatable!

Say, what?

Huh?

Come again?

Maestro? Did I just hear you say, "Maestro"?

How do you know about that?!

How do I know?

What kind of question is that? It's downright hilarious!

Of course I know. Because I was born with the blood of a Maestro in me!

They call me a Submaestro!

"Submaestro"?
