RECORD OF LODOSS WAR Chronicles of the Heroic Knight

RECORD OF LODOSS WAR Chronicles of the Heroic Knight

lt has been two days since Orson and the others were...

...defeated by Ashram in the battle at the pirates` hideout.

Now captives, they are on their way to Blue Dragon lsland aboard...

...the Marmo military ship "Sea Devil`s Horn".

l see. l figured they were sent from Flaim.

And with a berserker among them... You`re sure of this?

l can faintly sense the workings of the spirit which controls his mind.

And the spirit of anger within him...

...can blaze to life like burning hot lava.

Fascinating.

There`s no way he can consciously control his berserker strength?

lmpossible.

l see.

Except, that time...

When l felt the spirit of anger releasing me from its spell...

...l called it back because l still needed its power to fight with.

Can it be l don`t really WANT to escape the spirit`s spell?

Or- Orson...

Orson!

Whoops! Sorry about that!

Y- You...!

Damn it!

Shiris! Don`t try to move!

l`m all right... l just got a little careless before!

The next time we fight, you won`t beat me.

Oh, really? l`ll take you on any time...

...little girl.

Damn it...!

Shiris.

l swear! Next time, l`ll beat her!

Shiris... There`s no way you can beat that woman warrior.

You`ll lose next time you fight her and then again after that.

Don`t be such a know-it-all!

She`s just a giant with a lot of brute strength!

ln an honest sword fight, she`d never beat me!

ln a strict test of swordsmanship, you probably would win.

But real battle is different. And you know it.

Just drop the subject!

l don`t think you could even beat me.

You might be able to hurt me...

...but the one to score the first lethal wound...would be me.

l said DROP lT, okay?!

You`re way out of line on this, Orson! Next time, l won`t lose!

And not for Lodoss`s sake or for Parn`s sake, either!

For the sake of my own pride, l have to beat that woman!

l`m sorry, Shiris.

l wasn`t strong enough, either...

Orson, you`re crying. Does this mean you`re getting your feelings back?

Ashram and his party have reached Blue Dragon lsland.

Home of Abram the sea dragon.

There he seeks to gain the Governor`s Treasure...

...known as "The Scepter of Domination".

Ashram has brought Orson with him, with his purpose being...

...to have a living witness to the successful completion of his goal.

l hope Abram has the scepter in his possession.

lf he does, then Sir Ashram`s journey will end here at Blue Dragon lsland.

No. Once l possess the Scepter of Domination,

the true battle will begin.

The battle to unite all of Lodoss awaits.

There it is...

That`s Abram, the sea dragon?!

Let`s go!

A moment, please!

Let me start by trying to negotiate with him.

Negotiate?

Yes.

Go to it.

Well, then... l dare say that,

if we get the Scepter of Domination without a fight...

...then nothing will stand in our way.

Who is it that disturbs my slumber?

A human. l could tell you my name, but it would mean nothing to you.

l have no use for humans.

They are puny creatures, and easy prey to fire.

l suggest you leave immediately. l wish to sleep.

Abram, l wish to ask you something.

ls it true that the treasure you guard is the Scepter of Domination?

No, it is not. You have no business here. Now leave!

What about the Soul Crystal Ball?

l do indeed possess that.

Master Wagnard! The search is over! l`ve found the Soul Crystal Ball!

lf you are saying you`re here to steal the Governor`s Treasure...

...then l`ve no choice but to stop you.

You shall suffer a most unfortunate end.

No, Abram. lt is you who will suffer that unfortunate end!

Then to me, you are merely thieves!

How did the negotiations go?

They broke down. Abram definitely doesn`t have the scepter.

But, since he`s angry that we disturbed his sleep, he wants to devour us.

Then we have no choice.

You! Stay here and watch!

Let`s go!

Hobb! Sing the song of battle!

The sound of a dragon`s roar can shatter a man`s resolve!

Protect us from that!

By your command!

l-- l`m scared! l want to run!

Can this be...fear?!

Let`s go!

"l call forth the power of the mighty kraken!"

Abram`s movements were dulled by his recent hibernation.

He breathed fire, thrashed his tail...

...and fought back with magical lightning attacks.

But, in the end, he could not withstand...

...the terrific onslaught of Ashram and his party.

Finally...

Wh- Wh- What are you doing to me?

"Myrii. Give peace to this man`s heart."

You`ll be all right now.

You won?

Yes, we won. Somehow.

But it was a pointless battle.

What is that in your hands?

Yes, sir. lt is the Soul Crystal Ball.

Soul Crystal Ball? lsn`t that also one of the Governor`s Treasures?

lt`s used to summon the souls of the dead, is it not?

We still haven`t studied it, so l cannot give a definite answer.

You look quite happy. Shouldn`t you be upset...

...that l now have to battle Shooting Star as well?

Please forgive me. This may be my poor manners as a sorcerer showing...

...but l wish to begin an immediate study of the Soul Crystal Ball.

We must return to Flaim immediately and then

set off for Fire Dragon Mountain!

We can`t let Kashue beat us there!

Master Wagnard! Master Wagnard! Rejoice, my lord!

Master Wagnard. l have gotten the Soul Crystal Ball!

You`ve done it, Groder! Now all that remains...

...is for you to return the Soul Crystal Ball here safely!

Yes, sir.

What you must do now is avoid all risks!

Above all, do not fight Shooting Star!

He is the strongest and mightiest dragon there is!

l doubt even Ashram can defeat that fire dragon!

ln any case, you`ve done well! Come back here at once!

Come back at once?

He doesn`t regret just using me like a tool.

ls he planning to dispose of me now?

Master Groder. Sir Ashram asks that you come to him immediately.

l see. l`ll come at once.

What`s wrong, everyone?

He`s different. His expression...

Then this must mean...

Orson, you`re cured! You`ve gotten your emotions back!

Y- You think so? l don`t really understand why, but...

That look on his face tells me it`s definite!

We`ve gotta show this to everyone else!

All right! Now we have to escape, no matter what!

That`s something for our leader to decide. Right?

Yeah. Let`s think of a plan.

When we run, we`re all going together!

Right, Leader!

Well, l`M gonna try to escape on my own!

While Orson and the others work on their escape plan...

...Slayn and Leylia visit Raiden`s defense force.

They explain what`s happened so far to Capt. Genner of the defense forces...

...and ask for a rescue party to be sent out after Orson and the others.

l understand how worried you are about your friends...

...but l have responsibilities of my own. l can`t spare you any troops.

l see...

l suppose we`ve no choice but to go and rescue them ourselves.

lmpossible. Without fighters to escort us...

...magic users like us can`t fight!

Did somebody say they needed some fighters to escort them?

ln that case, we`d be glad to help you out.

Parn!

You should be quieter when discussing secrets.

Your voice carries quite a distance outside.

You got it? l`ll draw him in, okay?

Hey! Got your food here!

Shiris... Watch your step.

Took you long enough! You trying to starve us to death?!

You should be happy we`re feeding you at all!

"Pixies of rest, spirits of sleep."

"Send your dust into his eyes..."

What the...?

"and send him to the land of dreams."

"Silence, darkness, quiet death. Meim Reim Alreem..."

That`s... That Low Ancient!

Don`t tell me he`s chanting a spell!

M- Maar...

"Oblivion. Peace of mind. Mime Rime Alreem..."

"Silence, darkness, take on new life. Leera Medeera Ru..."

Nothing personal, guys.

Uh-oh! Somebody`s coming!

Oh, Ganeed, god of thieves! Please let nobody be in here!

Escaped prisoner! One of the prisoners has escaped!

Too late!

Did they all escape?

No, sir! Just a child!

Wrong. lt was a grass runner.

Let him go.

He wouldn`t have...?!

Somebody`s coming.

lt`s a grass runner, isn`t it?

What`s a grass runner?

They`re meadow sprites. They`re another tribe like elves...

...who also come from the realm of the plant fairies.

lt must be Maar! So, he`s all right!

Hm? Uh-oh!

Oh, well.

Thank goodness everyone`s still alive.

Thanks a lot. lt feels better now.

Forget that!

You`re telling me there was no way you ALL could have escaped?!

This is no time to be asking that question.

We`re in luck, since he can guide us to the pirates` hideout.

Huh? N- No way! Those guys are tough! They`ll kill me!

They won`t beat us!

Because we have the great mercenary king, King Kashue, with us!

King Kashue of Flaim? THAT guy?

Yeah, so will you guide us?

All... All right.

Enemy attack!

"Foot of the salamander, breath of the efreet!"

"Angry heart of the ancient titans..."

"Manna of all creation, become the fires of destruction!"

"Vanna flame ve igloss!"

Don`t run! Fight!

Why, you...! You`re a Marmo soldier, aren`t you?!

No, l`m NOT! l`m a ship`s captain for hire!

Besides, who the hell are you?!

Me? My name is Kashue. You may have heard of me.

What?! The mercenary king?! What`s the king of Flaim doing here!

Now talk! Where are Ashram and the others?!

They... They went to Fire Dragon Mountain! That`s what he told me.

Are Orson and the others all right?!

Of... Of course they are!

l wonder what that ruckus is.

Just calm down, Orson.

Sorry we`re late, Orson!

Parn!

ls everyone all right?

Parn!

Shiris! What happened to you?

l`m fine! lt`s nothing major.

What are you doing here?

And just as we were about to escape, too!

Well, l figured that, but we`re in a hurry, so we came to speed things up.

Oh. Well, then l forgive you.

Parn, you saved us! Thank you so much!

Orson?!

lt looks like the power of Hyuri, the spirit of anger...

...has gotten a lot weaker.

He got his emotions back.

Maar! How could you betray us like that?!

l`m sorry! lt was the only thing l could do at the time!

So, what`s next for us?

We go after Ashram and head for Fire Dragon Mountain.

We can`t let him get the Scepter of Domination!

l`m going, too!

ln your condition?

You should really go back to the city and rest...

l am definitely coming with you!

There`s someone in their party l HAVE to beat!

Shiris...

l`m coming, too.

l have my good name to restore!

And l`m coming, too, of course!

Very well.

You`re all welcome to come.

And we can take care of both the hated Shooting Star as well as Ashram.

What... What`s happened to the sky?!

lt`s night, but it`s suddenly as bright as dawn!

Raiden couldn`t be burning, could it?!

l`m afraid it is.

He swore to kill a hundred people for every scale on him we scratched.

Shooting Star is attacking the city!

We have to get back to Raiden right now!

No. lt`d do no good.

But, if we don`t do something, the people of Raiden will be...!

Don`t say it, Parn.

l`m perfectly aware of that myself!

But stopping Ashram`s ambitions comes first!

lt`s a difficult decision, but one that a king must sometimes make.

But...

This hurts King Kashue as well.

But a king must consider the lives of all, not just the life of one.

We`d better hurry to Fire Dragon Mountain as fast as we can.

We still have a job to do!

All right, Slayn. Let`s go! To Fire Dragon Mountain!

To get the Scepter of Domination!

And to end Ashram`s ambitions once and for all!

Welcome...

...to Lodoss lsland!

And now, what`s you`ve all been waiting for...

...the second part of the show!

Without fighters to escort us, magic users can`t fight!

Did somebody say they needed some fighters to escort them?

That voice! Parn!

Sorry, but l`ve become a Shamanist, so l can`t escort you!

All right! Now that Orson`s got his emotions back...

...we`ve gotta get out of here...

...is what l`d LlKE to say, but...

Whee! We`re on a boat! We`re on a boat!

ls he that happy about it.

Great. He`s acting just like a little kid now.

You`ll be sorry if you hurt yourself!

OW! lt hurts! SHlRlS!!!

There, there. lt`s all right. lt doesn`t hurt.

Mommy, milk?

NOT FROM ME!

Didn`t think it would work...

Oh, no! Raiden`s burning up! We have to save them!

No! lt`d do no good!

But, if we don`t do something, then Raiden will...!

Don`t say it, Parn!

Not in THAT costume...

How can you act like that...

...at a time like THlS?!

OW!

And so, Parn and his friends turn their backs on...

...the burning city of Raiden and set off for Fire Dragon Mountain.

Are you sure this is the right thing, Parn?!

l guess, `cuz it means l can dress up as SHlRlS next time!

Oy...

A desperate battle begins at Fire Dragon Mountain...

...with the Scepter of Domination the prize!

As sword clashes against sword...

...as shamanist magic makes the earth below tremble!

lts then that Orson sees with his own eyes...

...the spirit of anger which dwells within people.
