What the hell is this monster?

What's inside that thing?

Don't tell me...

It's growing the dolls?

Surprised?

What's inside is the remains of babies who've been stripped of their souls.

Remains?

What are you so angry about?

These babies didn't have families.

If anything, they must be happy that we're putting them to use.

They're feeding the Chimera Queen and becoming the food for the new dolls.

They're making dolls from babies?

The bones, nerves, and muscle fibers are taken from dark beast spawn, as well.

What's left on the ground is them after they've been drained dry.

Nelluru lost three children.

And she also watched many of the babies that she gave milk to be taken away.

She wanted them to be alive, at least.

And this is where they ended up?

Why?

To develop technology that would allow us to make dolls into soul vessels,

and then return fused souls to them.

The body of the true hero sleeps in the temple.

We'll gather up the scattered fragments of his soul and awaken him.

We're doing it all to revive the hero legend!

The babies and the dark beast spawn are being sacrificed for a greater goal!

They should be proud, if anything.

I understand your argument very well.

Get her, Chimera Queen!

This moment is so important,

and they're all so useless.

A survivor of the thirteen false heroes who challenged

Clevatess, the Southern Lord of Dark Beasts...

And for some reason, she seems to be his servant now.

Alicia Glenfall.

I'll have to eliminate you myself.

What's this?

CLEVATESS

Episode 10: Second Trial

Vod.

Yo, Vordin.

I came to pay you a visit.

Rathwell?

The world might be about to change forever.

I can't be the only one left out.

You're trying to revive the real hero, right?

And bring back this "Hero Legend" thing in its perfect form.

Why, though?

You were the one who brought an end to that era,

so I wanted to ask you.

You want to return to those days?

When we and the heroes tried to kill each other.

You never saw those days, Rathwell.

I did see 'em, just barely!

My predecessor was defeated before Clevatess,

so I was reincarnated that much sooner.

I saw the humans' world collapse.

The world was a little bit bigger then,

and the humans' world was a lot more prosperous.

They were... they were all emotionless.

They seemed to accept their fate.

I saw what happened after that, of course.

The land was flattened.

Few of the humans were still moving.

That's probably around the time the current Clevatess was reborn.

They seemed... Hm, alive?

They accepted the world for what it was and tried their hardest to survive.

So I thought to myself, "why did we ever fight these guys?"

What is a Lord of Dark Beasts, anyway?

We've all got our own territory that surrounds the humans' land.

But what's the point of that when the real hero is gone?

Why aren't we free from our territory?

If the cause of this is the hero legend,

couldn't we just have destroyed all the books and gotten rid of the legend itself?

At a minimum, we could steal the second book and its magical teachings,

and the third and its weapons,

and they'd no longer have the power to fight us.

But why didn't we?

And why are you now trying to bring the legends, and the hero, back instead?

Answer me, Vordin.

Hey, hey.

Attacking out of nowhere? That's mean.

Some places are best left undisturbed.

Are we talking about this place?

Or your heart?

Don't get so heated.

Isn't this cool?

Edison Rukereft.

His ability allows him to create carbon.

It's more akin to a skill than magic.

I helped him develop it,

and I've increased its power fourfold.

I can make whatever I imagine from charcoal.

I can make it as hard as diamond, too.

Or use its lightness to do things like this.

I'm in control of him right now,

but he's not just some frail wimp.

Listen, Vordin.

I'm not here to fight.

I want to talk to you.

Hey...

That form of yours...

It's faster to show you.

Come with me.

Seriously?

The gate's almost repaired!

We're almost done, but...

We don't have enough magic!

Move.

Who's there?

Those guys were on your side, weren't they?

Open.

The temple gate opened?

Was it Master Vordin?

I must hurry.

False hero,

you're just an outsider with nothing to do with the hero legend.

No matter how you struggle,

there's no role for you in the upcoming era.

That's the Prison of Mirrors.

It shows you the most difficult place you've ever faced.

You are here, but also there as well.

You must've seen something similar before.

Don't tell me...

The Ancient One in the Shaft of Elbe?

Let it swallow you up while you regret not even bringing a sword.

No, it's sucking me in!

Now, I must change into something appropriate for the new era.

An outfit worthy for the hidden face of one who has a territory... an Allozar.

In the upcoming era, only the real thing will survive.

When she dies, this spell will break.

Watch her until then, Chimera Queen.

I'm going to the temple.

What?

Wave of Agony!

Single-Point Breakthrough! Rising Dragon!

What?

A sword?

Where did she get that?

She broke through the spell's bindings and escaped?

But how?

Where did you get that?

I found this inside its belly.

It must've swallowed up a ton of weapons.

Most of the swords were too melted to use,

but this is probably a Regalia.

So it didn't melt.

The hilt's in bad shape,

but it only needs to last one battle.

You picked the wrong place to finish me, Dean.

No, I should call you "the Backstage Princess."

You don't get to decide what to call me.

You're still nothing special, even with a Regalia.

I don't know how all this works,

but I'm a hero, no matter what anyone says.

And he's coming, too.

I can tell.

He's almost here.

Hurry!

Call Her Highness T'ala!

Yes, sir!

This isn't good...

Something's emerging from the location of the forge.

Is this...

the forge's true form?

Queen T'ala!

Yes, I know.

The sound came from the forge.

Something happened.

Prepare while we wait for the messenger to arrive.

Okay!

Luna, you and Nelluru will...

Luna?

Lord Luna?!

Klen!

Klen!

Welcome back!

I guess humans really do grow up quick.

You've gotten strong since the last time I saw you, Luna.

Klen?

What are you doing here?

And the young king!

Luna!

There you are!

I told you not to wander off...

Klen!

Master! You're back?

I have an urgent task to perform.

What's "urgent" mean?

It means I'm in a big hurry.

Got it!

Okay, good child.

Very smart.

I was a little surprised that you flew to me, though.

I can feel the power of a territory as well.

I guess kings are special, then?

No, it's not because he's king.

It's a special power only he has.

No king has ever had the power to move objects, or themselves.

There's nothing written about it

in the histories of Hiden or its oldest fairy tales.

And his intelligence, too.

Luna is a child of less than 10 months old,

but has the mind of a ten-year-old child.

This isn't normally possible.

I see.

But I think I know why.

It means the gears have come together.

Nelluru.

Y-Yes?

You've done well to keep him safe so far.

Keep taking care of Luna for me.

A-All I can do is stay by his side.

That's fine, Nelluru.

That's one of the necessary gears.

Now, as for my urgent task...

Oh, right!

The forge...

The royal forge... it suddenly returned!

Gold?

There was nothing here last night.

It just rose straight out of the ground!

I knew it.

After the book of the third chapter, the forge, was stolen,

I could feel the same power of the territory returning here.

And it's not just here.

The holy grounds in each land's hero legend are reviving.

It's not just here?

Something similar should be happening in all five locations.

What's going on?

The hill to the southwest is rising up?

Is that the Revival Shrine from the legends?

Look, Sword Saint! The Slada Strait...

The sea is... restless.

I see... At last...

Jazhak! Look!

The sea to the north of Solsein...

What is that?

It means it's finally about to begin.

This is happening all over the world?

Yes, in the five locations from the hero legend.

The hero legend that you know well is about to begin, in its true form.

Its true form?

Just like it did over a thousand years ago,

when there were real heroes.

My servant tells me that the "true hero" is about to awaken as well.

That's what Drel and the being behind him wanted.

Drel spoke of destroying the world.

He meant that a change of such magnitude was about to occur.

If we let them get away with it, that is.

I won't, of course.

K-Klen...?

Apologies.

I let my guard down for a moment.

One of the reasons I came back was to recover all the power I left here.

Priest!

What is it?

Clevatess...

The blood sphere sealing Clevatess... is collapsing.

What?

I'm not supposed to be able to take this power out of my territory.

But I've found a place where that doesn't apply.

A place that connects all the holy grounds in the legend.

What you called the "secret room."

Klen... Who are you, really?

Me?

I am the one who will watch over Luna as he matures.

Got it, Klen.

Luna?

I'm the king, so I have to go there and open the gate, right?

You catch on quick.

Good.

Can you do that?

I'll try!

Luna!

Lord Luna!

Get back, Mother.

This place is dangerous.

Dangerous?

I don't know what will happen if a normal person is hit with

the light that appears when the gate is opened and the spaces connect.

Nelluru, take care of Mother.

Okay! Let's go, Your Highness!

Should I be glad he's growing up, or worried?

He's still a baby!

It is surprising, yes.

So as I thought, you can open it with that.

How do you do it?

I pee on it!

Naw, I'm kidding!

Hey, Klen.

I want to sleep surrounded by fluff again.

Very well.

Yay!

But it has to be someplace nobody's watching.

Okay, I'll open it!

You can get there by passing through this corridor of light.

Off I go.

Shut the door quickly.

Okay. Bye, Klen.

A gate opened again?

The gate of the third chapter, the forge?

I told you.

He's almost here.

It's over, Backstage Princess.

He's truly merciless.

He sees the two of us as no more than specks of dust on his shoulder.

That's the Lord of Dark Beasts...

That's Clevatess.

Thirteen heroes with Regalia were totally useless against him, you know.

Don't get cocky, loser.

Of course I know how powerful a Lord of Dark Beasts is.

I've been by Master Vordin's side since the Allozar blood awoke within me.

Of course I know!

Now what? Another ancient one?

I don't know what you're planning to do,

but I'm gonna shatter all those mirrors.

Can you do it?

This mirror shows you the one you respect most, at the pinnacle of their strength.

Father?

You can't leave this space until you defeat him!

You have to fight someone you absolutely don't want to fight.

This is the second trial of the Mirror Labyrinth!

It doesn't matter if Clevatess comes.

Master Vordin will deal with him.

You will die here, at the hand of the one you love, Alicia Glenfall!

The Dark Dragon?

I think he's here.

That's Clevatess.

I know.

What is that?

The fragments of the hero I've gathered.

I'll return them to his body.

I made the humans develop this technique.

And what happens then?

He revives.

He'd damn well better.

I won't allow him to fail.

Vordin.

Clevatess.
