Destroy you?!

Wait, Rezo! Are you trying to revive Shabranigdo?!

You'd repeat the same mistake again just so you can see?!

This was destined to happen eventually.

The Dark Lord's soul is gathering strength and will again consume my spirit!

Hold on!

Then this isn't about getting revenge against us,

but sealing the Dark Lord sleeping inside you?!

I decided to place fate in your hands.

There is no need to worry. Besides, I was able to see the light once more!

Rezo... You're!

Now, destroy the Dark Lord once again!

I... beg of you...

Rezo! Rezo!

No, Pokota!

That's no longer...

Be no more, ghost of the Dark Lord!

Xellos!

I dreamt a long dream. Of emptiness... Of ruin...

A dream of eternity in the depths of chaotic darkness...

Mr. Xellos!

I thought the best chance would be the moment

that he devoured Mr. Rezo's spirit and awoke as the Dark Lord, but...

Then he really is...?!

To think we would once again face each other...

I dreamt of meeting you again as well...

Can't say that hope ever once crossed my mind, though!

That glitter in your eyes... That glitter that has never known despair...

It was that light that gave me nightmares!

This doesn't look good!

Run!

It's too late!

Oww...

Ouch...

Where are we?

Xellos!

Sorry... I put everything I had into bringing you here...

Xellos! You helped us?!

Y-Yes... I can't afford to lose you right now, after all...

...if you're to kill the Dark Lord.

What?!

No, "Dark Lord's ghost" is more correct...

The Dark Lord's ghost?

Yes. That isn't the Dark Lord you fought long ago.

- You're saying it isn't a full Dark Lord?! - That's right...

I assume you remember Dark Lord Gaav.

Gaav...

- Who's Gaav? - Hmm... Where have I heard that name?

Gaav wound up turning against us Mazokus

because he revived in a different manner than usual.

There is no telling what will happen now that this Dark Lord

has similarly achieved revival through normally impossible means...

Which is why we Mazokus are reluctant to leave him unchecked.

So dealing with the Dark Lord's ghost was the duty you were given?

That's why it would be bad for me if you were done in right now.

Though a ghost, a Dark Lord is still a Dark Lord...

There is only one thing that can destroy it...

You mean the Giga Slave?!

Giga Slave? What's that?!

The spell that defeated Shabranigdo before...

If you have a spell like that, why aren't you using it?!

It's not that simple!

It really is sink or swim with that spell.

It's a forbidden technique that could destroy the world...

Destroy the world?

If it were that simple to use, I would've used it against the Zanaffar too...

What in the world is going on?! What is transpiring?!

D-Da...!

Well, you see, Pops...

"Pops"?!

There's no time for details, but have everyone evacuate right away!

Yes! Escape quickly! As far away as you can!

Escape! Hurry!

What?! You want us to abandon this kingdom we've just begun to rebuild?!

We understand how you feel, but there's no time!

You idiots! The kingdom is the people who live here! It's all of you!

As long as there are people, the kingdom can always be rebuilt!

Indeed, you are correct.

- Evacuate everyone to a safe location! - Yes, Sire!

A kingdom is its people. Well said.

That is indeed true!

I heard it from someone else. Just hurry and evacuate...

You who present me dreams of ruin...

You shall walk with me on the path to destruction...

People of Taforashia! Escape! Quickly!

Posel...

No, Dad! That's...!

No, King Taforashia! That isn't Prince Posel!

What are you talking about? If that isn't Posel, then who is it?!

Pops!

- No! - Don't, Dad!

Dad!

Dad! Run! Hurry!

- Y-You're? - Just run!

May all creatures with life walk the path to destruction...

Damn!

Astral Break!

Run! Hurry!

This is the best I can do with ordinary spells?!

You who do not know despair...

You shall join me, so that we may walk the path to destruction together...

Destruction...

Destruction!

This is awful...

You who resist destruction and wish for chaos...

Why do you struggle?

Why do you resist the inevitable eternal sleep?

Run!

Come, light!

Is this Shabranigdo's destruction?

Gourry's Sword of Light is the only thing that even barely affects it...

Is this our only option...?!

The hell with this! Taforashia had just started on the path to restoration!

I refuse to let it end like this!

Pokota!

Even when this country was struck by the plague,

even when it was sealed away in a deep sleep... I didn't give up!

And I can't give up now!

Darkness beyond twilight, crimson beyond blood that flows!

Buried in the flow of time, in thy great name, I pledge myself to darkness!

Stop, Pokota!

It's no use! The Dragon Slave spell gets its power from Shabranigdo!

All the fools who stand in our way shall be destroyed

by the power you and I possess!

Dragon Slave!

Disappear and be gone, all of you!

How can that be?!

The Dragon Slave uses the Dark Lord's power, so it shouldn't work on him!

There's no end to 'em!

Now I see! It wasn't because the Dragon Slave hurt him!

Darkness beyond twilight, crimson beyond blood that flows!

Buried in the flow of time, in thy great name, I pledge myself to darkness!

Lina?!

All the fools who stand in our way shall be destroyed

by the power you and I possess!

Dragon Slave!

Now!

Things are moving so fast, the moments ticking by

I'm running through this city, to me, a savannah

The Dragon Slave spell gets its power from Shabranigdo!

There's a flood of surreal news

We can draw that power out by force!

Draw it out by force?!

but everyone will have forgotten it by tomorrow

And those countless menacing monsters are the Dark Lord's power itself...

I'm alive, I'm alive right now

Amid that, I search for something

As they're independent from the main body,

Like it's struggling, trying to break free,

the Dragon Slave spell will drain their power and cause them to lose form.

I wanna test all this power!

Here's the plan! Me and Pokota'll pound it with Dragon Slaves and open a way in!

I know that "The Answer"is out there someplace

The answer that everyone looks for

And once I'm in...

from the day they're born

...I'll use a Ragna Blade and hit him with everything I got!

When all looks lost and there's no escape

Darkness beyond twilight...

I turn to my dreams!

I'm not afraid of getting hurt

but I'm not strong, either

Ra Tilt!

Dragon Slave!

It's just that I can't stand

just doing nothing anymore!

Dragon Slave!

Here we go, go! I'll just run on

Dragon Slave!

and let nobody stop me now!

Dragon Slave!

I wanna find the me in the future

Dragon Slave!

and give her a reason for life!

Dragon Slave!

Not good... At this rate...

This is bad... Ms. Lina is spent...

I can't get any closer...

I can't use the Ragna Blade...

I-It looks like I've done all I can...

You pushed yourself too far...

Why does one who desires destruction attempt to protect?

What we desire is our own free will and strength...

We desire destruction achieved through our own free will and strength...

Have you forgotten that as well?

Visfan Rank!

No! I won't let you take one step past me!

Amelia!

Amelia!

- Amelia! - Don't worry about us!

Zel!

Lina! You have to...!

The Giga Slave is our only chance?!

But I know how dangerous that spell is because I've used it before!

The terror of falling into that sea of chaos...

My soul sinking into the black darkness that stretched as far as I could see...

One slip and the same thing could happen to the others!

Zelgadis!

I've never been so thankful for this body that Rezo modified...

I used the spell last time to save Gourry...

But this time everyone will be caught inside that vortex of chaos...!

Hey! Are you just going to ignore doing what you can do?!

I dunno about you, but this time I am gonna do what I can!

Pokota...

Please... Send me there...

If you've come this far, I'll leave the rest to you.

Pokota! What are you...?!

Withstand it, Sword of Light!

Gourry!

Lina! Don't hesitate! Just do what you have faith in!

I won't let anyone argue otherwise!

Gourry!

This is it!

This is all I can do now!

Lina! Shoot him!

Everyone's lives are in my hands!

Lord of Darkness of the Four Worlds! I call upon you!

Grant me all the power that you possess!

Foolish. Foolish one...

I gave you this body. I won't ask you to return it now.

But I can't let you have your way anymore!

Even mere humans struggle to live.

I won't allow you to just go and destroy it all!

Pokota!

Pokota's given me this chance! I can't let it pass me by!

Darkness beyond blackest pitch, deeper than the deepest night!

King of Darkness, who shines like gold upon the Sea of Chaos!

I call upon thee! Swear myself to thee!

Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed

by the power you and I possess!

I won't let everyone's hopes be in vain!

You who dream golden dreams!

Be destroyed with me and share the same empty dream!

Just a little more! Just a little more strength!

Giga Slave!

Well done...

You've destroyed the undestroyable...

You are truly worthy of the title of "Slayer"...

Be no more, ghost of the Dark Lord...

What happened to Pokota?!

Pokota broke his own Hellmaster's Jar and returned to his original body...

And then...

Oh no... Does that mean he's?

A Dark Lord's spirit is just too much for a person's spirit to compete with...

Sheesh. He was just about to start rebuilding Taforashia, too...

How's he gonna do that now?

Whaddya mean, how?! Just rebuild it bit by bit, of course!

Huh?!

Y-You're alive?! How?!

How?

So this is goodbye?

No...

You stay behind...

Just somehow!

Somehow?! Don't be stupid!

You were good and done for! Take some responsibility, Pokota!

Responsibility for what?! Quit talking crazy, you flatty!

- What're you doing?! - Get over there!

Oh... Posel...

I can tell from the look in your eyes, son of mine!

D-Dad...

Dad!

At the end of my long, long journey,

I'm filled with things I want to tell you

Families sure are nice...

Yeah, maybe so...

Even if I can't put them into words,

Umm... What about Mr. Rezo?

you'll still understand them, right?

No, I'm fine with him now...

Having faith without any hesitation...

Starting to miss home now?

No, it's still too soon for me to go back! Plus we need to find you a sword!

Overcoming your own weakness...

That again?

You think you can, you can't, you manage somehow

That cycle forms your path

All right! Let's go all out again!

Yeah!

Better hurry up or you'll get left behind!

I wonder what I will think about today

when I become a grownup someday

I bet the happy things and the trying things

will be shining brightly

I'm going to be strong enough to overcome today

because I'm still in the middle of my journey

I'm sure there will be more happy things

and even somewhat trying things down the road

Yes, they're going to continue on and on
