RECORD OF LODOSS WAR Chronicles of the Heroic Knight

RECORD OF LODOSS WAR Chronicles of the Heroic Knight

Go on! Cut me down, Orson!

Orson... Orson...

ORSON!!!

You idiot! You were finally cured, and then for my sake...!

For my sake... You fell in love with me and died...

But if you die now, it`ll have been for nothing...

Nothing at all...

Deed!

This is...!

Sir Ashram!

No doubt about it!

That`s the Governor`s Treasure we`ve been searching for!

The Scepter of Domination!

With that... With that, l will make Lodoss mine!

Create the dream of a united Lodoss Emperor Beld wasn`t able to make!

The day l`ve waited for is at hand!

Sir Ashram!

What?!

lmpossible! Shooting Star?!

l thought he had flown out to feed!

Sir Ashram, we can`t!

Let`s wait for Groder and the others to join us!

But...!

The magical restriction put on him by...

...the governor of the ancient kingdom of Kastuul.

So long as there are men who desire the Scepter of Domination...

...he can never fly away to anywhere else.

King Kashue!

lt`s been a while, Hobb.

And you, Ashram. l definitely remember you.

Sadly, l, too, haven`t forgotten your face over these last few years.

Shall we end things here?

We`ll eventually have to kill the fire dragon, so...

...won`t you help me?

Are you insulting me?!

Calm down.

l have no illusions about you and l becoming allies.

But l happen to hate Shooting Star more than l hate you.

You`ve taken me lightly. However, it`s you that l hate.

Why don`t we work together first?

There`ll be time enough for our duel after the fire dragon is dead.

What did you say?

l`ve heard that the Scepter of Domination...

...has the power to make even your enemies obey you.

You and l, as well as whatever allies we`ve brought with us.

We will fight and the true victor will be...

...the one to get the Scepter of Domination.

lnteresting. But l`ve already seen how you fight in single combat.

The advantage you took when fighting Emperor Beld.

l offer no excuses. But there was no other way at the time.

And you dare call yourself a hero who saved Lodoss?!

You, who broke the rules of single combat?!

Sir Ashram, what are you...?!

lt was five years ago, during single combat in the War of Heroes!

An arrow fired by someone struck Emperor Beld in the arm!

He took advantage of that moment to win the fight!

lf l`d thought of stopping, l might have stopped my sword.

But instead, l swung it! l wanted to finish Beld off...

Wh- What are you saying...?!

Will the god of war condemn me for that?

Will he curse my name as a knight for having saved all of Lodoss?!

W- Well... But...!

King Kashue!

Parn!

You don`t have to make any deals with these guys!

We`ve already beaten Ashram`s party!

Groder and the others were beaten?! lm- lmpossible!

Let`s finish these two off!

Then we can beat Shooting Star ourselves!

Parn!

l must repay the debt l owe to him!

As a knight...and as a king!

We WlLL slay Shooting Star!

Did you hear the agreement, Hobb?!

l have heard!

"Let he who breaks this promise feel the wrath of Myrii!"

Parn!

Deed! Summon a water spirit!

Protect King Kashue from the fire dragon`s flames!

Leylia! Cast a protection spell, too!

Right!

Cecil, you cover King Kashue!

You don`t have to tell me twice!

"Feet of the salamander, breath of the ifreet..."

"Angry heart of the titans of creation..."

"Marfa, mother of the earth! Protect him from the demonic fire!"

"Spirit of water! Blessed maiden!"

"Form a shield of water around the warriors gathered here!"

For all the brave men of Flaim that you killed...

Feel their anger unleashed!

Damned human...

Vanna flame ve igloss!

Highness!

Sir Ashram!

His blind eye...!

l`ll distract him. Get around to his blind side.

But, Highness...!

There`s no time to hesitate! Let`s go!

Highness!

"Great god Myrii, who rules over war."

"Give comfort to this warrior`s wounds."

Sir Ashram! Sir Ashram, wait!

Oh... Oh, wow! l`m right in the middle of the action!

l`ll be able to write a REALLY great ballad about this!

lt`s no use! The sylph are too weak inside this volcano!

At this rate...!

"Roar of the demon wolf, embrace of white snow!"

"Manna of all creation!"

"Become a blade of ice to cut the fire apart!"

Parn!

"Great spirit of the earth! Mighty beast of the ground below!"

"l beg you! Answer my call!"

Curse...you...humans...!

All right! That was incredible!

We did it... We beat Shooting Star!

Sir Ashram!

Parn!

King Kashue... Ashram...

Sir Ashram! Wait, please! Let me cast a healing spell!

Signal the start of the duel...!

But, sir...!

Hobb...

"ln the name of Myrii, god of war..."

"...let the agreement of these knights be carried out!"

King Kashue!

Deed!

Parn...

lt`s all right. His Highness will win!

But...

Only interfere if it looks like he`s going to die!

Why does this battle have to go on?

You`re both great heroes!

You both have ideals and both give all you have to realize them!

So why must you do this?!

You say l force you to do this, but you do this for your own ideals!

We`re not the same!

l am not as driven by my ideals as you are!

But l am the king of Flaim!

To protect my kingdom, l must risk my life itself!

That is why l turned my back when l saw Raiden burning!

As a king, it was my responsibility and my duty to see this through!

You`re just a foolish man who`s trapped by his position as king!

Well, then, l`ll finish you off like we did Shooting Star!

Highness!

DlE!!!

Wh- Why?!

Sir Ashram!

How could l have lost?

lt can`t be... lt can`t-- lt can`t be...

Let this end.

Please, won`t you let this end?

Why...?

Why can`t l beat this man?

l... l have to fulfill Emperor Beld`s wishes!

Yes... No matter what...!

What?!

Parn!

Ashram! Have you forgotten your own agreement?!

l won`t lose to the likes of you!

With this...

With this, l can finally...!

l can unite Lodoss!

lf you`d charged in after parrying my attack...

...without thinking about the consequences...

...you may well have won.

Ashram...

A united Lodoss... Emperor Beld`s dream...

Ashram!

Highness!

lt`s not that he forgot the agreement he made before.

Let him do as he pleases.

Emperor Beld`s...wish...

My...dreams...

No... Why did Sir Ashram break his agreement?!

A warrior... A hero like him!

Have l been blind all this time?!

A hero is still only a man.

And when a man pursues his own desires...

...he will sometimes act without thinking.

l, too, am a coward who broke his word to someone.

King Kashue...

l set out on this journey to confirm my own faith.

To see what true valor... To see what a true hero really is.

And to find the true meaning of war.

When you`ve found that meaning, then return and visit us in Blade.

l still need your power.

Y- Yes, sir...

However... l`ve been thinking...

Parn!

You were great!

Good work, Parn.

Deed!

That young warrior may be the true hero you seek.

So, you won.

Yeah...

l won the battle...

...but who was the real winner and who was the real loser?

l wasn`t able to save Orson. Or...

This girl`s heart, either...

Well, shall we get going?

lt`s time to stop feeling sad!

l`ve decided l`m going to keep on living my life the way l want to.

Shiris...

After all, that`s why Orson left me a life to have, right?

Y- Yeah... Yeah, you`re right.

Well, then, shall we go?

lt`s better this way, Orson...

Let`s go, Parn.

Let`s go home to our village.

To the Lodoss we all saved!

To the south of the continent of Alecrast

lies an island called Lodoss.

Onto its war-filled history,

the chronicle of a new hero has been engraved.

And onto the heart of the hero...

...the joy of being a true victor was engraved forevermore.

Welcome...

...to Lodoss lsland!

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

...the second part of the show!

Hi there! Are you enjoying yourselves?

Welcome to Lodoss lsland!

This is DJ Parn and Deed here...

...and now it`s time for the "How, What, and Why Question Corner!"

Okay, let`s start with our first question!

How did King Kashue beat Ashram?

That`s our first question, and for the answer...

...we turn to our reporter on the scene, Shiris!

Shiris? Shiris! Take it away!

This is Shiris, coming to you from castle Akroyd!

First of all, how did such a laid back guy like King Kashue...

...um, beat a dedicated man like Ashram?

l think we may be close to uncovering this mystery!

That`s not exactly a difficult thing to do!

There was no way that little pipsqueak...

...could beat ME, the mercenary king of Flaim!

But we understand that Ashram...

...has a very powerful demon sword called Soul Crusher.

What about that?

The demon sword Soul Crusher, huh?

Uh-oh, here it comes...

King Kashue, can l take that devil may care smile to mean that...

Soul Crusher was no trouble at all!

l won`t lose (MAKEN) to any demon sword (MA KEN)!

And question number two...

What was the War of Heroes?

That`s a very good question. Now, then...

...why don`t we touch on the War of Heroes...

...which was caused five years ago by Emperor Beld of Marmo?

There! We touched it!

Well, that`s all for today!

So long! So long! So long!

Bye!

Ten years have passed since the showdown at Fire Dragon Mountain.

As time slipped by, the heroes each left on their own paths.

And as the history of Lodoss has done in the past...

...a young man is given a new mission to follow.

Next time, on Record of Lodoss War - Chronicles of the Heroic Knight:

"The Young Knight... Tested Strength."
