Original subtitles

We look to be displaced by a teleportation trap.

Are we still in the tower?

I haven't the faintest idea.

We have no alternative but to ascend.

Agreed.

As a precaution, please remain behind me.

Understood.

Here they come.

Just a while longer.

The main event is about to begin.

I can hardly wait for that door to open.

♪When I turn away, a sinner's falsehood whispers♪

♪What should I question?♪

♪Where should I place my faith?♪

(Episode 10: Battle of the Giant Tower)

I wonder where we are.

The first floor?

Let's try to find the commander, Nhia.

Good idea, Khia.

So, those two are our opponents?

They look weaker than I thought.

I could take them both on!

Mera, follow your orders.

Don't you dare steal my prey.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey.

By prey, do you mean us?

Who even are you guys?

Your enemies, I suppose.

We're way above your league, though.

Don't get overconfident!

They say a cornered rat will bite the cat.

They might be inferior elves, but they can still catch you off guard.

Inferior?

You think we'll lose?

Of course not.

We're Submasters!

We're White Knights!

Looking down on us?

The morons!

Don't kill them just yet, Nhia!

You got it, Khia!

They aren't rats, they're squirrels!

First, we cut off your limbs!

Then, we turn you into our toys!

I can't believe I let us walk straight into that trap.

Chief's gonna tear me a new one later...

Come on, quit hiding already and tell me which floor this is.

Sh-

She's adorable!

Hey there, gorgeous!

What might your name be?

Are you in need of assistance? Sharphat here will take care of ya!

Babe?

Too bad for you, playboy, but my partner hates talking.

A talking weapon?

An Intelligent Weapon?

My partner here's Suzu. I'm Lock.

No need to remember our names.

What's that s'posed to mean?

We're going to defeat you nice and quick.

Just my luck.

First I walk into a trap, then I end up fightin' a cutie.

Thing is...

I seriously got the hots for you, Suzu!

How 'bout we drop the fight, and you come make out with me? (Wriggle Wriggle)

(Wriggle Wriggle)

Sorry, but not only are you not my partner's type,

but you're also a complete turn-off.

Then give me your type, Suzu!

I'll do my best to be whatever ya want!

My partner's type is...

A cute boy with black hair.

One with cool features who's kind to everyone.

Wait... that's just Lord Light!

There's no way he'd be into you.

Ow! S-Stop, my partner!

You'll warp my barrel! I'm precision equipment, you know?!

I really wish you'd just fall for me and give yourself up.

Looks like I have no choice.

I'll take you by force if I have to.

Invisible Crossbow!

She kicked away my invisible bolt and returned fire?!

Now I'm really smitten!

You managed to shoot down my partner's bullet!

This might actually be fun!

Is jumpin' around all you squirrels can do?

Be cocky while you still can!

These pillars give us an advantage!

The squirrels sure know how to talk!

That's not all we know!

Here, we'll show you!

Windcutter!

Non-verbal spells while moving at that speed.

Well, they are elves.

Windcutter!

The squirrels have fangs, too!

Keep your guard up.

Told you!

We're just getting started!

Are you all right?

Wait... aren't you...

Nemumu, Gold!

Bring it!

Quit getting in the way, Gold!

Why're you getting so worked up, mate?

Just stick to the script!

Got it!

We are the Black Fools!

Here to save the day!

Wait up!

Running is for cowards!

Did you ask them to do that?

No...

They seem to have spiced things up a bit.

Windcutter!

Windcutter!

Windcutter!

Windcutter!

Windcutter!

That's the best they got?

I'm disappointed.

They'll tire out soon.

Bad news for you!

We can keep this up for another half a day!

We can even do this!

Windcutter!

That was unexpected!

Not bad!

Mera!

We got her right arm, Nhia!

Let's take off the other one's leg, Khia!

Iceheat.

What do you think?

Well...

I have a pretty good grasp of what they're capable of.

They live up to expectations?

Not at all.

They're far weaker than I imagined.

Weak?

You're joking.

You couldn't even land a hit on us!

Are you blind?

Just look at your swords.

Not a drop of blood on 'em, eh?

You didn't actually stab me, nor did you cut off my arm!

That was just for show!

She's eating...

...her own arm!

- Her arm... - ...grew back!

Wanna see something cooler?

What's she doing, Khia?

I don't know, Nhia!

Each one of my cells is its own living organism!

That's why I can even do stuff like this!

Guess we haven't introduced ourselves.

I'm the UR Chimera, Mera!

Level 7777.

UR Frozen Firestorm Grappler, Iceheat.

Level 7777.

Level 7777?!

No one can reach that crazy level!

That's right! We won't fall for it!

You guys just kept dodging our attacks!

Mera, to think I was afraid your horrible acting would give us away.

You're lying!

Windcutter!

See, they do think we're weak!

No thanks to you.

Do you get it now?

We don't even have to bother blocking.

Look at them run!

Maybe they're just pretending to lure us.

It's not that deep.

We can't take any chances!

All right, all right.

I'll get ready, so give me a second.

Be my guest.

O mighty Ifrit, impart thyself unto my right arm!

You keep running, little bunny!

You're going to die if you don't fight back!

Partner!

Watch out, partner! They're coming!

How'd you like that gift, little bunny? That was every bolt I got.

Aw, did I go too far?

Wow! Not even a scratch!

Pretty and tough! I must have you as my girl!

Light... was it?

The one ya liked?

Forget that loser and come enjoy life with me!

Y-You shouldn't have said that!

Do you have a death wish or something?!

Die, die, die, die...

DIE!

We've hit the wall.

Let's follow it to get to the exit.

Nhia...

What?

Something's wrong!

The whole floor is heating up!

Is this their doing?!

Khia, it's getting hotter!

Nhia, we're going to burn to death!

Defensive maneuvers!

Magic power heed our call, form into a glacier wall!

Shield us from our enemies all!

Ice Wall!

The ice is melting!

Quickly, another! Khia!

Magic power heed our call, form into a glacier wall!

Shield us from our enemies all!

Ice Wall!

Magic power heed our call, form into a glacier wall!

Shield us from our enemies all!

Ice Wall!

Magic... power...

heed... our... call...

Die, die, die, die...!

- Calm down, partner! - Die, die, die, die...!

DIE!

H-Hang on!

Die, die, die, die...

Damn it! Damn it!

Maximum output!

Windrain!

I'll shoot them all down!

What's this pain spreading through my body?!

The bullets have status effects?!

Impossible!

Relax! They're still alive.

Really?

You can thank Ellie's magic for that.

Without it, they'd be dead.

Unbelievable!

This is what happens when I get a little serious!

They're far too weak!

The experiment was pointless!

That's not true!

Now we know not to use our full powers on the surface.

Please... spare us.

On the contrary!

We're going to break you even more!

- Please... - Forgive us...

What did you do to the humans who said the same thing to you?

You toyed with them and killed them, didn't you?

We're... sorry...

This is a direct order from our beloved lord.

Extract all the information we can...

and make you repent, suffer, and continue to beg for mercy!

S... Save me.

Die, die, die, die...

- Die, die, die, die... - Relax, partner!

- Die, die, die, die... - He'll die if you don't stop!

- Die, die, die, die... - Also, he can see up your skirt!

Goodness, you sure did a number on him.

You defeated him before we could get a read on his abilities.

Have you forgotten Lord Light's orders?

Forget it.

Even if you heal his body, he won't be able to fight after all that.

I-It's okay!

Lord Light won't get angry!

- Don't cry! Don't cry, partner!

- Looks like it's over. - Don't cry! Don't cry, partner!

- Looks like it. - Don't cry! Don't cry, partner!

How's Sasha doing?

Would you like a peek?

I'll just wait for her to open the door.

How long does this go on for?

It appears we're being herded toward an intended destination.

That damn Light...

He was only ever good at hiding!

Show yourself so I can kill you already!

Teleportation magic?

Got that right.

Took you long enough.

My bad!

But ya can rest assured...

it's just the two of us on this floor.

I'm the UR Ironblooded Barricade, Jack!

Level 7777.

You expect me to believe that?

Don't give a crap either way.

Let's just throw down like men.

Last guy standin' wins.

That said, it ain't my style to pick on weaklings.

What say ya surrender and save me the trouble?

Surrender?

To a Level 7777?

If you want to bluff, at least make it sound plausible!

I ain't bluffin'. Just use Appraisal.

Oh? Ya can't use it?

I have no need for it.

I just have to beat you.

I like that!

We'll sort this out in a few punches.

I'll do you a favor and unite you with the Goddess in a single strike.

So you won't have to suffer!

Too slow.

What?!

There's no way my attacks can be deflected so effortlessly!

Even Commander Hardy can't take my heavy blows unscathed!

Impossible!

Level 7777 can't be real!

I have to save my fellow White Knights, my queendom, and all who need me!

I can't afford to lose here!

From what I heard...

your idea of saving people means wiping out every weak human

so they don't have to go on living a life of sufferin'?

That's right?

It makes me sick to breathe the same air as them.

They're weak, ugly, and wretched.

If they're just going to die a horrible death anyway,

dying by my hand and being freed from suffering is a hundred times better!

This is the ultimate mercy!

You stupid or somethin'?

I knew it.

You cannot hope to comprehend my lofty ideals!

Stoutarm Halberd!

Take my lifespan and give me strength!

Take as much as you want!

Just give me the power to defeat him!

Look at ya go!

Don't hold back on me now!

Wring it all out!

I'll tank everythin' ya got!

Not yet! It's still not enough!

More!

I need more power!

Surpass the limits of my blood! My body! My soul!

I need the power to kill him!

You're a self-righteous asshole...

but ya got resolve.

I ain't gonna do ya dirty by holdin' back!

Time to get serious!

Ironblood Barricade.

You'll need to hit me a hundred times harder than that!

I'll have ya know... with this on, I'm pretty tough!

Not a bad attack.

If ya weren't up against me.

Crap. Did he croak it?

Hot damn, he's still alive!

Shouldn't have doubted Lady Ellie's magic!

The others should be 'bout done by now.

The name's Nazuna, and I'm the strongest!

♪At the very depths of my pointed confusion♪

♪You paint me into your desired color and shape♪

♪I'm trapped, cherished, and tamed♪

♪But with someone other than you♪

♪I blink, cry, and make myself my ally♪

♪When I spread my wings, I begin to see♪

♪Trimming the rudder, guided by the wind♪

♪I'll tear through the murky sky♪

♪Rising high, to a place you cannot reach♪

♪Even the rain of someday bounces off the ground and dances♪

♪You can't take it away from me, can you?♪

♪Not my unwavering gaze that was set on that fated day♪
