Did you see that, huh? Did you?

Did you see how Vivian's body grew back?

You wanna know why?

'Cause his body contains a piece of tissue transplanted from the God of Destruction!

Now I get it.

The God of Destruction.

That's what Abigail was talking about before.

And that's bad news because with every metamorphosis,

the God of Destruction's power increases.

On top of that,

he's wielding that damn Devil Mace thing.

Well, this will be a good warm up for facing the real god.

Stop! Don't make a move.

I know this ugly pile of cannon fodder may have just gotten a lot more ugly,

but there's no need to worry.

You two just sit back and watch the great Dark Schneider take care of it.

I can feel the magic rushing through my veins like dragon piss.

And when I get this feeling, I can't lose.

You're not only gonna lose, you're gonna die, you idiot!

Nuh-uh. You're gonna die!

But if it's any consolation to you,

I'll make sure that your death is a truly magnificent one.

INCANTATION

No. No.

It's... it's horrible.

The city's in ruins.

What does Dark Schneider think he's doing down there?

Why doesn't he hurry up and get rid of that monster!

Lucien...

Go on then, Viv!

Show them all the true power of the Devil Mace in your hands!

Whoa!

That thing just made boulders fly up from the ground!

Darsh, no!

You just stay out of it!

This guy's mine!

I'm gonna put his head on my wall as a trophy!

I'm going down there.

- Forget it. - But Gara, come on!

You know what kinda guy he is.

He's an arrogant, greedy, self-centered exhibitionist.

A hot-headed showboat who never thinks before he acts,

and a horn-dog beyond belief.

- Worst of all... - Shut up!

Worst of all, he's rude, right?

Yeah. Something like that.

Now do you see the power of Vivian, the immortal?

Face it. You're finished, Dark Schneider.

You're done.

Vivian, the what now?

Let me tell you something!

Don't you know that this handsome, young hero you're looking at

is the only one who gets to be called immortal?

Now I'm angry. You asked for it.

The earth-bursting flame...

Huh?

Crash Magnum!

Huh? What the hell?

What did you think of that one, huh?

And that was only a tiny fraction of the powers I've got at my command!

I'm a genius wizard who... Wha...?

Huh?

Look at that! Isn't that just amazing?

I mean, you've got to admit

the God of Destruction's regenerative powers are pretty astounding!

Attaboy, Vivian!

How are you supposed to fight something

that can grow it's own head back?

Yeah. He's gonna need help.

Stay back!

Try to interfere, and I swear I'll kill you!

Ugh! You idiot! Why do you have to be so stubborn?

Are you too proud to admit you might need help?

I don't! You two would only slow me down, anyway!

All right, fine. Suit yourself.

We'll stay here and watch you lose!

Well, some things never change.

Seriously!

He's morphed into a new form.

He's even more dangerous now than he was before.

The more pieces of him you cut off,

the more he grows back and the stronger he gets.

Plus, he's got that crazy weapon.

So, get real!

The three of us are gonna have to work together to beat that thing

just like they do in shonen manga!

What are you talking about?

Don't give me that "Shonen manga" crap. I got my own plan I'm working on!

Give me a break, will you?

You haven't got a plan!

You never had a plan! That's what's wrong with you!

Well, I'm gonna win anyway.

My God.

He's always been way too confident in himself, but this is ridiculous.

- It's why I like him. - Hmm.

You'll need more than confidence to win this fight.

The time has come for you to witness the true power of the Devil Mace!

What? Again?

The mace, why is it shining like that?

I don't know, but it can't be good.

The earth goddess!

When you feel the ground shake,

that's her life force running through the earth.

The Devil Mace is more powerful than the Fire Sword or the Raijinken

because it can control that life force.

Once the mace is fully charged,

it wields enough power to destroy every city in this entire region

with just a single blow!

Fare thee well, Dark Schneider!

Wait a second!

Dark Schneider!

Darsh, don't do it!

Lucien, no!

Not so cocky now, are you?

You just got what you deserved, you big dummy!

You arrogant, greedy, self-centered exhibitionist!

You're a hot-headed showboat who never thinks before he acts,

as well as a horn-dog beyond belief, and on top of that...

On top of that, I'm so handsome it hurts, right?

You're the dummy!

What good's an attack from the ground gonna do

when I can just go up in the air?

Oh, Darsh!

So he's alive, and he's still in one piece.

What a relief.

I can't see! I can't see!

What have you done? I can't see!

Look!

Your little monster friend isn't doing so well.

I think he's in pain.

What do you mean? I can't see anything!

What's going on? Vivian, what's wrong?

What's happening?

What's the matter with that thing?

It's... it's rejecting the transplant!

Isn't that interesting?

This guy's body isn't strong enough

to handle the power of that piece of tissue

transplanted from the God of Destruction!

His body's rejecting it!

The nerve connections are being destroyed!

The God of Destruction's tissue is separating from Mr. Cyclops here!

Incredible.

That even a small piece of tissue carries so much life force...

That truly is a God of Destruction.

If Anthrasax is resurrected, we'll never be able to build utopia!

Everything will be destroyed!

You see that? I just won!

I totally won!

Oh, I forgot you can't see anything.

This is the moment I've been waiting for!

It's all going exactly as I planned!

Oh, what did I tell you?

He was just making it all up as he went along.

Pretty impressive, isn't it?

Gara! Arshes! What are you doing over there?

You just gonna stand and watch?

You gonna make me do everything by myself?

I know you're super busy,

but why don't you try making yourselves useful?

Yeah, yeah. All right.

Okay. Here we go!

Hear me now, oh dark ones!

- Hear me, oh void! - No, no. Please, not that spell!

In Hades' flames and sabbath's lies...

Secret Haouken Thunder Claw Strike!

True Majinken!

...in paranoid dreams that never say die.

Eternal idol of heaven and hell...

from volume four, I cast iron man's spell!

Come on, come on! Die already!

Iommi geezer Ozzy!

Ozzy iommi geezer?

That's one of the forbidden spells of the High Ancients!

One they never even wrote down.

How do you like the taste of those black flames of the underworld?

Spicy, aren't they?

Bye-bye.

Don't forget to write.

Damn you, Dark Schneider!

But you just wait.

This isn't over yet, I promise you that.

The next undead, the one that's coming, you won't be able to beat him!

You can't beat him. Wanna know why?

What's going on? What...?

I can't tell what's going on! I can't see anything!

Where am I going? Someone please tell me where I'm going!

Anyone!

I won.

I won, and I did it all by myself.

By yourself? Like hell you did.

We haven't used that combo attack in a long time.

Made pretty quick work of him, didn't we?

Yeah. Well, it was my spell that clinched the win.

You idiot!

We're the ones who bought you enough time

to recite that ridiculously long spell of yours!

I never knew you had a spell like that.

If you'd used a powerful spell like that against me,

you could've won our battle in no time.

I love you.

Hey! Hey, Lucien!

Huh? Oh, hi, Yoko!

Did your... did your spell really do all this?

Well, yeah.

I could try to explain it to you, but it's a little complicated.

You see, the spell creates an independent hyperspace

by generating a magnetic field, or magical barrier.

Then, transferring matter between hyperspaces within that barrier,

the atoms in the overlapping matter collide,

and the neutrons split in a process of nuclear fission,

generating an incredible amount of heat.

- Hmm. - Wow. You don't say.

Just now, I introduced a tiny pocket of air

into the ground between me and him,

generating an instantaneous sphere of energy

that burned the monster to a crisp

and transported everything within the area to another dimension.

What do you think the temperature was inside that sphere of energy?

Ten-thousand degrees, maybe?

Try more like several hundred-million degrees.

At that temperature, even that thing couldn't regenerate it's body.

We're talking a hell of a spell here.

That's why it takes so long to say it all.

In fact, that spell is so dangerous

that the High Ancients themselves made it forbidden.

Only a genius wizard like me, Dark Schneider,

is capable of casting such an advanced spell.

Impressive, huh?

Come on. Come on, you could say it.

You're impressed.

You dope!

If you ever use a spell like that again, I swear I'll...

She hit me! You see that?

You're lucky everybody had already been evacuated!

You destroyed the whole city! What are you going to do about that?

Who's going to rebuild it?

The city would've been better off left to the Cyclops.

Look what you've done!

You're right! I don't know what I was thinking!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Are you really sorry?

I am so, so, so, so sorry!

I can't tell you how sorry I am!

Please forgive me! Please?

Incredible.

So amazing that you just can't help but laugh.

He sent my undead Cyclops to his grave,

and the tissue from the God of Destruction with him.

That accursed demon wizard's powers are beyond anything I ever imagined

in my worst imaginings.

Part of it is that he's got Gara and Nei backing him up now,

guarding his flanks and buying him enough time

to chant longer and more powerful spells from close range.

Yes. And if he's able to cast a forbidden spell like what we just saw,

there's no telling what other spells he might have up his sleeve.

It seems we've made an enemy of a frighteningly formidable man.

We have only one option then,

a dangerous one though it may be.

The time has come to summon the most powerful of the undead.

He who possesses the strongest magic, and whose body is all but immortal.

He who lies hidden in a dark, secret chamber

in the depths of an underground labyrinth

that snakes beneath the earth through uncharted wastelands.

A place undiscovered by even the most intrepid of adventurers.

You don't... You couldn't possibly mean...

Hmm.

He who can only be summoned only by those

who have attained the highest of the lost secret arts

behind the power of life.

The most powerful undead of all!

His power exceeds even that of the vampires.

For he is the king of the undead!

If we can summon him, then we'll be assured of victory over the humans!

Hmm. And I have what it takes to summon him.

You want to use him to fight Dark Schneider, I know,

but how are you going to make him do it?

My home... my home is gone.

It could be worse. Just be grateful you're still alive.

Mama, I'm so hungry.

How long is this misery going to go on?

He's a god of misfortune!

He's going to destroy the entire kingdom

even before the God of Destruction is brought back to life.

The people are afraid, sire.

We'll have riots on our hands if something isn't done.

Our stockpiles of food are going to run out any day now.

Your Majesty, we simply must do something.

I wish we could, but the fact is, gentlemen,

the monsters they control are too powerful for any human army to face in battle.

These monsters are immortal.

The only one strong enough to defeat Kall-Su's army is Dark Schneider.

And we simply have to face that fact.

Oh no! Please not him.

Excuse me. Father, if we were to destroy the last seal

wouldn't that prevent them from resurrecting the God of Destruction?

Or we could hide it somewhere far away from here.

No.

If we were to destroy it,

we'd be releasing the last of the spiritual seals,

and the demon god would come back to life.

What's more, they have a keen sense for detecting magic.

So, no matter where we hid the seal, I'm sure they would be able to find it.

No. It must come to a battle.

A hard-fought battle on which will hang the fate of the entire human race.

We have no choice but to put our trust in them.

Look! A storm's brewing over Judas again!

Is it... is it the God of Destruction?

Alert Master Gara!

No, wait!

The storm's not over Judas Castle.

It's further to the west!

What... what's going on?

The Demon Mail.

And the Devil Mace.

Two of the three demonic treasures are now in our possession.

Yet, I wonder...

The Devil Mace has the power to create devastating earthquakes.

But just as the Fire Sword and the Raijinken,

the weapon's power is not itself of evil origin.

It's power is neutral.

There must be another power hidden within the mace

for which it became known as demonic.

What could it be?

And as for the whereabouts of the third demonic treasure...

Just look at that!

Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin', or whatever the saying is.

I'm as fresh as a daisy and fit as a fiddle.

I've never felt better in my whole goddamn life.

You sure about that?

Remember, you had to push yourself pretty hard in that battle.

Oh, don't you worry your head about me.

The only thing that got hurt was my pride.

Trust me, I'm not worried about you.

Oh.

You seem a little down.

Now that you haven't got the Raijinken, you've lost that spunk you used to have.

Well, I'm not happy that the Raijinken got blown into another dimension

along with the Fire Sword.

But then again,

if you have to rely on a magic sword,

you're no sword master.

Huh.

Nei,

you know, you act like a kid whenever you're around Dark Schneider.

What can I say? Darsh is special.

But, I don't know.

He seems different now.

Hmm?

Yeah. I guess he does.

All of a sudden he's nicer to me than he ever was before.

So you're worried about him?

I'm scared, and I don't really know why.

Or maybe I do.

Look! What's that cloud of black dust blowing this way?

I don't know, but it's moving really fast!

I've never seen anything like it!

What is it?

Elder!

No, no!

Heavens preserve us. Not this again.

You know what that thing is?

Oh, yes. I've seen it before when I was a child.

It was on the Missi-ssissippi river in Neva-Nevada,

and I was with old man Garickson on a...

It's here! It's here!

I'm not done with my story yet!

The earth, it's rotting away!

It's him again!

He must have come up from the underground labyrinth,

moving with the darkness that eats away at the earth.

Close your eyes! Don't look, whatever you do!

Even just looking at him is enough to turn a human into...

Coochie-coochie-coo.

Ow! Take it easy!

Hey! Would you please stop moving around?

What happened to you?

You used to be a whole lot more gentle when you did this.

That's 'cause I was doing it for Lucien.

You are all grown up now. You can clean your own ears.

No 'cause I can't see them.

It's so weird how traces of your old self still come out.

What are you doing? Cut it out!

I told you to stop moving!

You know you have to do whatever I say.

After all, I'm the one protecting this kingdom

from an evil beyond human comprehension.

If you don't obey me, I might just go off in a huff

and let this whole place go to pieces.

You are such a scumbag!

Okay, okay.

I got it. Now hold still.

Boy, are you ever different from Lucien.

Oh, hi there, Yoko!

Do you miss him? Lucien?

Just as long as you don't forget that, everything will be okay.

Listen.

If it'll make you happy,

I'll let you see Lucien again.

Hey! Dark Schneider!

Take a look outside!

Huh?

What's got you worked up now, Chicken Little?

Shut up, you clown, and take a look outside!

That... that black cloud, what is it?

It's not good.

I am transcendent. I am eternal. I am the truth.

He's here! Oh my God, oh my God!

Just try not to look him in the eye.

You'll lose your mind and then you'll die.

All right, you big skeleton bitch!

You want in this castle, you gotta go through us!

Cyco, cyco,

know your worth!

Fall, decay, return to earth!

Suicidal tendencies!
