Teza Zel Rahman.

Raging howl of the war gods...

Fierce eye of thunder-strike!

Melt, the son of Borge, commands you to show your power!

There is no end to them!

Oh, no!

Kaaya!

Is everyone all right?

Why don't you worry about yourself first?

Fatina...

I'm all right, I think.

You've got an unnecessarily tough body.

I'm surprised we survived.

Thanks to that fall, we all got separated.

You and I are the only ones in this vicinity.

I see...

If you aren't hurt, then let's leave.

Leave?

We're going to find Neeba!

Isn't it obvious?

But I need to find everyone...

You'd leave a girl all by herself?

You could say this is the Lost Woods...

What a pain. What should we do?

It would be wise to head for the settlement of Baragesi.

We might be able to meet up along the way.

Neeba and Fatina aren't amateurs.

They'll figure something out.

Yeah

By the way...

What's with that kid?

Beats me.

Uncertainty is spreading amongst the troops.

Perhaps we should search for Sir Kelb and Lady Ethana first...

We will change formation.

But then...

We will wait for them at Baragesi.

It's you...

Kelb...

Jil-san...

Everyone...

Are you all right?

Neeba-san...

What a mysterious place.

The Shrine of Silver. The third level of the Garden of the Serpent.

It's the most intricate of the many Gardens, and quite dangerous.

Top becomes bottom. Day becomes night.

Life becomes death...

Ah, it's Jil-san.

Hey! Over here!

Fine, then suit yourself!

Looks like they can't hear us.

Neeba, Neeba, your brother is a jerk!

Geez...

Can you walk?

Yes.

What are you doing, you piece of crap!

Enough.

But, he lost his casket...

Just retrieve it before anyone finds it.

Zeiya, Naboo, Garu. Archer of the flaming shot!

Get a grip, newcomer!

Stop calling me "newcomer."

Okay then, just freak.

That's even worse!

I should just call you Freak.

That's going too far...

We're back here again...

I hate this...

When we left, like you said.

Are you being sarcastic?!

No, I didn't mean it like that...

This sucks! There's no way it will work out with just you!

You dragged me along...

If only Neeba were here...

Shall we go to Baragesi?

Baragesi... That settlement?

Yeah.

Everyone else might be heading that way.

Are you sure?

No, but..

Well, okay. It's pointless to waste time here.

So, where is it?

I believe it's upstream...

...whichever way that is...

Fatina?

I'm hungry!

Come now, stop playing around and please help out.

"If a man will not work, he shall not eat."

What a naggy kid.

We get to eat warm food.

Let's just do as Coopa says.

What are you complaining about?

Please hurry up and give that to me.

Here you go.

Oh, my.

The theory of green onions is to chop finely and accurately, perpendicular to the fiber!

Geez, I would love to have a word with your parents.

What is it?

No... After climbing this far up the Tower, all this about connected onions and poor knife handling...

Let's just dig in, before it gets cold.

Thanks for the food!

Miss Ethana... Miss Ethana...

Shut up. Don't talk to me.

That's no way to act when Melt of the house Fereydun is trying to express his gratitude!

Big talk for an impoverished aristocrat.

Rather than relying on the Blue Crystal Rod,

You should rack up achievements, and earn recognition.

Why is this about restoring my fortune?

Isn't it?

The reason you're climbing the Tower...

Is not only that!

I also want to get back at the mages who exiled me from the royal palace.

Be served by beautiful women, and eradicate sea peppers and Babylim sea slugs!

What a boring reason.

What about you, Miss Ethana?

Let me guess... Glory?

Or maybe love?

Love...

If I could obtain such a thing.

All I have is my loyalty to that Uruk Army and King Gilgamesh.

What a boring life.

Not really.

I enjoy my travels with Sir Kelb.

As always, you fight so wildly...

This reminds me of when you used to be in the army!

You always followed me around.

You were like a baby chick with an eggshell stuck to its ass!

Am I still a baby chick?

Mehel, Eta, Zehem, Ishtar.

Powerful binding of the earth!

Well done, Neeba-san!

Thanks to a certain skilled Oracle.

Let's continue the search.

Yes.

Leheda, Mil, Ishtar.

Formless tide of the atmosphere...

Neeba-san!

I'll take them on.

Have you got it?

The exit is too far.

All I can manage is to sense dead ends.

Good enough.

Damn, Tohga and Dirk were both killed

Who the hell were those guys?

Where do you think you're going, you petty thief?

What's the matter, scared?

You've got the same face as me. That's disgusting as hell! Damn imposter!

Gudea!

Gorney, you're an imposter too?!

Ah, Humba! Thank goodness we meet up...

You damn imposter!

This place gives me the creeps.

Really?

I kind of like it.

How carefree.

Enemies could appear at any moment...

Ow...

You should look out for yourself first.

That was close!

Fatina?

Stay right there, and don't move an inch!

Don't get carried away.

Bara...gesi...

Wait, Fatina!

All right! Now I can eat all the food I want! Food, food!

Huh?

What's the meaning of this?

Looks like no one's here.

I see...

It'll be all right.

Don't try to comfort me.

Sorry...

Get a grip. You're Neeba's brother, aren't you?

What's with you? It's always Neeba this, Neeba that.

Just what are you to Neeba?

His girlfriend!

At least, I wish I were.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'll have you know, I slayed a Dragon too...

Good night.

Huh?

It's still light out.

One should rest when one can.

Keep watch, okay?

Ahmey...

About what we talked about earlier...

Oops, sorry.

You meant to do that.

Give me a break.

How long has it been since you quit the army?

Three years.

Three years, huh?

You were a spear-woman in the Uruk Army, and I was still an officer.

So was he...

I am happy to hear your feelings...

But...

I cannot...

Retreat! The Summer Anu is ending!

Owen!!

He asked me to marry him.

But...

I could not give him an answer.

You didn't want to?

I was scared.

Scared of accepting his love...

I could do nothing for him.

I had nothing to give him.

Well, you know...

It was enough for him just to be with you...

...I guess.

Do you think so?

Now that he's gone, we can't ask him, though.

That's the reason why I'm here.

The Blue Crystal Rod?

Yeah.

It may be able to grant wishes, but the dead cannot be brought back...

Neither can my subordinates...

I only want to tell him...

Thanks.

What do you and the others usually talk about?

Things like, "This blood doesn't come out."...

or "This jerky is going bad."

All the time?

Neeba only speaks when necessary.

Utu only tells scary stories.

And Kally is out of the question.

They don't even know what Ruell leather is.

Ruell?

It's an expensive leather product.

Umm...

It's really popular with the cool girls in Babylim now.

See, like this.

A wallet?

No no, the strap.

I actually wanted a belt instead, but I couldn't afford it.

I'll have to settle for this until I get the Blue Crystal Rod and become rich.

So it's important to you.

Of course it is.

That's why I'm enduring all of these painful, smelly, and scary things.

i don't think I have anything like that.

I want to reach the top floor, defeat Druaga, and bring peace to Uruk...

See, you're a justice freak. That's not popular nowadays.

I'm not doing it to be popular or anything.

Oh, really?

You're telling me that being called "Jil the Dragon Slayer" doesn't go to your head?

Well, I did actually slay a Dragon, you know.

And that really is why I'm climbing the Tower...

You're so hard-headed.

I hate people with one-track minds.

Those kinds of people always desert in the face of the enemy.

I would never do that!

Sorry...

What, is there some reason for you to take it personally?

Father... Father!

They say the territory will be seized.

I heard he deserted in the face of the enemy...

That's a lie...

A lie!!

I would never desert...

Oh, I hit him.

Let's go.

Thank you.

Ethana!

Sir Kelb!

Miss Ahmey!

How cruel!

Wait here.

This is...!

Uh-oh...

You opened it.

Pazuz...?

Have we met before?

What the hell are you planning with this?!

You catch on quickly...

Guess I'll have to kill you!

Damn, two of them got away.

Neeba!

Oh, you are...

Neeba, thank goodness. Pazuz was just...

Neeba-san!

Kally is left-handed.

His appearance was completely reversed.

Like a reflection in a mirror.

It's not uncommon on this floor.

Be wary of mirrors and water.

But, Pazuz...

I bet Jil-san would be fooled completely.

He is quite naive.

What is it?

No... You care about Jil-san, don't you?

No...

I'm not so sure these days.

You?

Well, he's a little unreliable...

Do you really believe you can reach the top, Miss Kaaya?

Yes.

Jil-san can sometimes be extremely dependable.

He's okay right now.

But can you say you won't abandon him, even knowing that he'll be useless up ahead?

Damn it, he's such an idiot!

Where is Kally-sama...?

He's dead.

Oh, no...

What an idiot.

He said he wanted to bring wealth to his poor hometown village...

Coopa!

Thank goodness, you're safe.

Um...

That's great, you found your friends.

Utu-sama...

The food was great.

Well, this is where we part ways.

Neeba-san, why are you climbing this Tower?

What will you wish for?

The Blue Crystal Rod?

I'm not even sure such a thing exists.

You think it doesn't?

Who knows?

What about you, Miss Kaaya?

Why do you climb this Tower?

I am the only one who can purify the Tower.

So haphazard.

Mere luck won't cut it up ahead.

If your going to turn back, now's your chance.

I'm certain... Jil-san will figure something out.

Jil can't do it.

Because he doesn't know.

The true top floor, the truth that awaits after defeating Druaga...

The truth that awaits...

Kaaya!

Ah, Jil-san?

I've come to get you. Everyone's waiting.

J-Jil-san?

No matter what Neeba says, I'll take you to the top of the Tower.

It's okay, I'll protect you.

Yes...

Like a reflection in a mirror.

If you're going to turn back, now's your chance.

You will surely end up betraying everyone.

Miss Kaaya!

Well, I'll be leaving now.

I guess it wasn't all that bad!

You've still got a long way to go as a Guardian...

But as a man, well...

I give you 62 points.

That's an iffy score.

See you later, Jil!

"See you later," huh...

"See you later, Jil"...

Huh...?

My name...

Hey, Jil!

Everyone!

So this is where you were hiding.

No wonder we couldn't find you.

I was waiting for you guys!

Let's go.

Kaaya?

What's wrong?

Are you ill?

No...

It's okay.

If anything happens, I'll protect you.

Let's go, Kaaya.

To the top.

Yes...

Looks like I'm not the last one.

No, you are.

Kally was killed.

That Pazuz bastard attacked him...

Killed...

What...?

You'll have to provide backup from now on.

I'll be careful, too.

W-Wait a minute. It's too sudden...

Won't we say goodbye?

Let's go.

But Kally died, didn't he?

Just a little more until the highest level, the Shrine of Sky.

Freezing cold and steep cliffs seek to obstruct us.

Jil... Why do you climb this Tower?
