RECORD OF LODOSS WAR Chronicles of the Heroic Knight

RECORD OF LODOSS WAR Chronicles of the Heroic Knight

Neese! Neese!

lt`s the Marmo!

Hey, there`s pretty good pickings in here.

These Valis soldiers aren`t so tough!

Hey!

Oh... There`re still some guys left to fight.

Captain, you get to Neese! Let`s go!

l`m counting on you, guys!

l have to protect it... The Staff of Life!

"Marfa, mother of the earth... Heal this person`s wounds."

Who are you?

So, Doorway... You choose to place yourself in my hands.

ls that the body you`re using these days, Karla?

When you gather the two keys and the one door...

...what do you plan to do, Wagnard?

For now l don`t have to explain anything to you.

But don`t misunderstand me.

l have no intention of fighting you!

Then why? Kardis the Destroyer is too much for any man to control.

Why must you resurrect a goddess of destruction...

...who will only destroy all of Lodoss?

You gaze at the truth even now.

There is no way that you, the Grey Witch, can not be aware...

...of the enormous power that lies hidden inside of Lodoss.

The strength of Valis and Flaim now exceeds that of this dark island.

lsn`t it your desire to destroy centers of power...

...so as to prevent a repeat of the tragedy of the Kingdom of Sorcery?

That was why you became the Grey Witch, controlling the chaos of...

...war from behind the scenes in Lodoss.

Light and Darkness...

You believe that by balancing the two powers equally...

...you will lead Lodoss to eternal prosperity.

And you`re saying you believe...

the Destroyer`s power is needed for that?

Kardis hates the souls of all living things.

What prosperity is there in turning Lodoss into a ghost town?

Or perhaps... Perhaps that is your ultimate wish as a necromancer.

Well, Dark Wizard?

You may believe what you choose.

But the truth is that, if you allow them to carry on as they are...

...they will no longer be following the path you set for them.

lf resurrecting the Destroyer means the destruction of the Light...

...then that is Lodoss`s fate!

Think over what l`ve said carefully.

l won`t let anyone stand in my way.

l WlLL become the supreme being... as the Lord of the Dead!

The Staff of Life!

"Tiny, invisible spirits...!"

Stop right there!

Can`t let you do that!

Unfortunately, l can`t let you go any further.

What do you want with the Staff of Life?!

l dunno. You probably know more about it than l do.

Stand aside!

This is our duty.

We show no mercy to anyone who gets in our way!

How about this?

Too bad, little girl. Sorry, but playtime`s over.

You can cry about this in the next world!

Hold it!

Are you okay, Neese?!

Yes!

Wait, aren`t you...?

You`re Spark, right? l didn`t expect to run into you here.

Oh, is that how this works? lnteresting...

Neese, stay close to me!

Kill them!

This is no place to get bogged down in a fight!

True enough, but we can`t just ignore them, either!

We`re just going to have to end this quickly!

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

You think the captain`s okay?

Lady Neese...

Dammit, he`s just one guy! Why is he so much trouble?!

Outta the way! l`ll get him!

Spark!

Now you die!

Neese... Are you all right?

Yes...

But the Staff of Life...

lt`s been stolen?!

l was trying to go after it when these people showed up.

The second key... How could this have happened?!

Wait a minute! The port of Roid!

They`re going to transport the Staff of Life out of here on their ship!

lf we go after them right now...!

l`ll go with you!

lt`s too dangerous! You tell King Etoh about this!

Wait! l...!

Neese?!

N- No...!

Neese!

No! NO!!!

Can it be...? Wagnard!

Come to me, Doorway...

NEESE!!!

Neese!

Neese!

Neese! Snap out of it!

Neese!

Damn it all!

You can`t win.

No... Neese...!

Sorry we took so long!

Garrack! Everyone!

"God of war! Grant peace to this person`s heart!"

"Manna of all creation! Release this holy girl from this dark covenant!"

All right!

That`s the way, guys!

This won`t be like last time!

Captain!

Hang in there, Garrack!

l know, but...! This power`s incredible!

lt... lt`s no use!

At this rate, we`re going to lose!

L- Lady Neese!

lsn`t there... lsn`t there something we can do?!

N- Neese...! Don`t go!

Don`t go, Neese! Wake up!

Open... Open your eyes!

Open your eyes, Neese!

lf l don`t do something...!

Neese!

NEESE!

NEESE!

S- Spark...

What?!

"Marfa, mother of the earth! Drive away this evil light!"

Damn you...!!!

Look! The hole`s closing!

Lady Neese`s power has driven the evil magic away!

This is... This is the power of Marfa?!

We... We did it... We saved you...Neese...

Spark!

Lady Neese!

That`s twice l`ve failed!

But this isn`t over yet...Neese!

"Myrii, god of all war! Heal this brave youth`s wounds."

Priest Greevus...

You`ll be all right now.

All of you...

Where`s Neese?!

Neese...

Th- Thank you, Spark.

l never could have won without you.

l thought for sure the dark wizard was going to capture me.

But l heard a voice calling me from somewhere.

You pulled Neese back from that nightmare, Spark.

l truly thank you for what you did.

You don`t have to thank me.

That`s just what knights are supposed to do.

So, what are you gonna do now, Sir Knight?

They managed to steal the Staff of Life.

l`m going to the dark island of Marmo.

To take back the two keys.

And to settle things with the dark wizard.

Settle things? H- Hey! Captain!

l`m coming with you, of course.

Don`t you think it`ll be too dangerous?

First of all, King Kashue ordered us to go back Flaim, right?

lf you disobey him like this, you`ll never get to be a knight!

l know... But l`ve made up my mind!

l`m going! And l`m going to protect Neese! And also...

Right now,

l consider this to be more important than following orders!

You definitely aren`t confused anymore, are you?

That`s right! We aren`t knights!

We aren`t brave men or heroes, either!

Yeah, l think this`ll work if we just protect each other.

Right, Garrack?

Sure, sure. l hear you all.

And naturally Aldo`s coming, too.

Everyone...

Guys...

l see... And there`s no talking you out of this, is there?

l understand. lt would be too dangerous to try...

...to infiltrate the enemy`s territory with a large group.

Besides, without friends you can rely on...

...you probably wouldn`t make it through the coming ordeal.

Yes, sir.

Will you be leaving immediately?

Yes, sir. As soon as we make the arrangements.

Then you may travel as far as Kanon on one of our military ships.

May the gods of Light watch over you.

Seven brave lights now set out for the dark island.

lt seems the time has come for me to make a decision as well.

A decision as king for Valis... One to protect all of Lodoss!

What Parn said may be coming true.

Don`t become a man who only lives for the duty given to him.

l`m making this journey by my own decision.

l swear l`ll recover the two keys. And also...!

What`s wrong, Spark?

Neese, l swear that l`ll protect you!

Right!

Welcome to Lodoss lsland!

And now, what you`ve been waiting for, the second part of the show!

Spark? Ooh... Where could he have gone?

What a cute little squirrel!

HEY! Neese! Help me! Neese!

No use... Dammit! What a lousy thing to have happen!

First of all, why was there even a hole here in the first place?!

lt`s here because l decided to dig it!

Don`t be so proud of it!

l didn`t fall down here `cuz l wanted to!

lt`s all because this letter just suddenly arrived.

Give back that letter from Mama Dragon!

Who`s gonna give it back?!

What?!

The secret of Marfa`s cookies is written in here!

Give it back!

No!

Give it back!

No!

lt`s written in dragon...

Can you read it?

lt`s no use... We can`t climb up.

Well, you`re a knight! Think of something!

Oh, get real!

Besides, you can just fly out of here, can`t you?!

Hey, you`re right. l didn`t realize that. That can work.

BOlNG!

Oops!

See ya!

Little Dragon!

You saved me, Little Dragon!

By the way, what was written in that letter, anyway?

lt said "Be careful on your trip."

Oh, is that all?

Funny thing is, l feel like l`ve forgotten something.

l`m not going to give up! l will have Marfa`s cookies!

With new resolve in our hearts, we set out on our journey!

But can we safely make it through Kanon...

...and manage to get all the way to the dark island?

But as we race through a Kanon forest...

...we`re confronted by both terrible monsters and Marmo mercenaries!
