00:16This is an air class spell, burial enclosure. I thought it'd prevent any trouble.
00:23Now, how about you and I have a little chat?
00:27You are an intruder, after all.
00:30I didn't really want to use this on a child. I apologize.
00:35That smell, like a sweet flower. It's numbing. Disorienting. Poison!
00:44Healing class spell, purify! It won't help. Black fog.
00:53Like I said, I'm sorry. My poison's too strong. There's nobody alive who can withstand it.
01:05I'm not sure how to do that. I'm not sure how to do that.
01:08This is an air class. I'm not sure how to do that.
01:15I'm not sure how to do that.
03:50Enough about me. Are you going to survive that stuff?
03:53Sure. I'm good.
03:55I'm using the healing class spell Healing Breath, which is helping me gradually recover from her poison.
04:00The damage Ren caused won't be enough to outpace it.
04:04Well, if you can move, why didn't you chase after her?
04:07Because I figured I could have her guide me to their hideout instead.
04:11They who? What hideout?
04:13Oh, Sylva told me about them when we went into town. I'm pretty sure Ren is a member of the
04:18Assassin's Guild.
04:19They're a notorious bunch. A group composed of six members who all have bounties on their heads.
04:25They're quite skilled at hiding their presence.
04:29Also...
04:32Each of them apparently has a special ability.
04:36And most likely it comes innately to them!
04:39I know that look.
04:42Hmm. She's headed away from the castle.
04:45Considering that Ren girl is undetectable, I'm surprised you picked up her trail.
04:49The way she hides is like ripping a hole in space.
04:52Once you figure that out, tracking's easy.
04:56She stands out, being all undetectable!
04:59After her!
05:08Where'd Prince Lloyd go?
05:16So, you responded and then ran off without killing him. Why?
05:21Well, because he was only a child.
05:23But I found something out!
05:25They're mass-producing spellbound swords now!
05:28They're preparing for war!
05:30Which means we'll be able to-
05:32Ren.
05:33Stop trying to act like Jade.
05:36Our leader is long gone.
05:42That's not true!
05:43Jade is gonna come back!
05:45So foolish.
05:47Enough, you two.
05:48Do not utter another word.
05:50We're being watched.
05:52You got me.
05:56But how?
05:57The poison should still be working on him!
05:59Seriously?
06:01You mean the kid that found you is the seventh prince?
06:07Oh my!
06:09This little darling is mass-producing spellbound swords?
06:12They say he acts ordinary.
06:14But in reality, he's quite powerful and ambitious.
06:21Either way, now that he knows about us, we can never allow the boy to leave this place.
06:28Releasing barrier.
06:31Why the hell would you go and drop your shield, boss?
06:34I'm dealing with people who have unique powers.
06:37It'd be elazed if I didn't get to see them in action.
06:39Where's the fun in going on the defense?
06:42Trace, tower of the Hyakuken!
06:45Come on, let's see what you got.
06:47Better if you stay back grim.
06:49Sure you don't want to throw that barrier back up?
07:02Who knew?
07:03Guess they're even teaching princess martial arts these days.
07:07Trace, tower paid off.
07:08Her defenses are blocking his blows.
07:11But wow, this guy's flexible.
07:13Outstanding!
07:15I suppose that introductions are in order.
07:24As you can see, I was born more flexible than most.
07:28I can twist my body around, enough to fit through tiny spaces like a rodent.
07:33I am the warp-blighted Babylon the Giant Rat.
07:37You don't get that, Bendy, just by using sorcery to numb the stress on your joints.
07:41His body is as unique as it gets!
07:46Sink.
07:47Sink.
07:47Sink.
07:48Sink.
07:49Strange.
07:50I feel heavy all of a sudden.
07:52That's Crow, the Dark Raptor.
07:54The mana in his words makes him the curse blighted.
07:57He's normally pretty quiet to keep his power from running amok.
08:01Then there's me!
08:03Enhance power.
08:09He used brute strength to overcome the curse.
08:14I'm Galilea the spider.
08:15I transmute the mana around my body into a sticky fluid.
08:19You may call me the web-blighted.
08:26Rose mana is bound to his words, so it's more like cursed speech.
08:30The origin of spells.
08:32Galilea's ability to transmute his mana into webs is pretty cool, too.
08:36It's a bit like Rin's power to create poison.
08:40Huh?
08:40Blue strength!
08:44What's wrong, sweetie?
08:45You're in a very dangerous situation, wearing not much more than a smile.
08:50Did you happen to lose your sense of fear and shame at some point?
08:54Then perhaps I can help you re-discover this.
08:57You'll start with fear.
08:59Hurts, doesn't it?
09:04I'm Talia, the Hundred Pains.
09:06As the pain blighted, I'm able to share my damage with anyone that I can see.
09:10Is she choking?
09:12How does that work?
09:23Now, with introductions over, shall we get down to business?
09:27Stay put so you don't spread your poison.
09:29The prince.
09:30Is he an exhibitionist?
09:31No offense, but that's rage coming from you.
09:34I'm not dressed like this because I'm trying to show off my figure!
09:37It helps me disperse my poison.
09:38Do you remember what it's like to be afraid?
09:40If you're a good boy, maybe I'll teach you about shame next.
09:46No need for a lesson.
09:48I'm familiar with the concepts.
09:50But right now, I couldn't care less.
09:55My wound!
09:56Did you use a healing spell?
09:58It was pierced all the way through!
10:00How'd it work so fast?
10:03Looks like whenever I heal, your injuries go away too!
10:07Spin, boost strength!
10:09Boost strength!
10:11What would happen if I were the one to injure you?
10:15With the damage reflect back on me?
10:17Boost strength!
10:19No!
10:21I'll find out for myself!
10:23Trace!
10:24Self-help later!
10:26I hope you're ready, Assassin's Guild, because it's time to demonstrate how well you handle defense!
10:31Huh?
10:32For a second, the brand reminded me of a swordswoman I would much rather forget.
10:37Wait, hold on.
10:38You mean the one that you and Crow fought before?
10:40The silver...
10:46Who the hell's this prince?
10:48Sword skills on top of martial arts?
10:50I also heard he was a magic prodigy.
10:52What is going on here?
10:55Don't run away.
10:57Use that elastic body of yours.
10:59Let's see how it takes a fall!
11:03Thought that would happen.
11:05He relaxed at the moment of impact to mitigate the damage.
11:08Very clever.
11:21You're up next, Dark Raptor.
11:24How are you going to handle this next attack?
11:26House of Languance, Duel Bladecraft!
11:29No, wait, stop!
11:31Swing dragon's rising!
11:34Nice try, really.
11:36You didn't finish and still slowed me down.
11:38If you managed to actually say stop, you might have frozen me in my tracks!
11:42Rap!
11:43Bug!
11:44Diving zero!
11:49A bolt spell?
11:51Would my hair have fallen out if he had finished saying the word?
11:54I struck before he could, but now I'm intrigued.
11:57Not enough to test it, though.
11:58Look what you did!
12:00This is for Crow and Babylon!
12:01No, stop!
12:02Don't move!
12:03Your webbing is stuck to my dress!
12:05You little...
12:07AHHHHH!
12:08Fool!
12:09Why'd you have to get so close?
12:11Everything sticks to you!
12:12Don't blame me!
12:13It's not like I could control it!
12:15Control your eyes and look away!
12:20Let me enlighten you, Seventh Prince.
12:22It doesn't matter whether I injure myself or you do.
12:25The effect will be the same either way.
12:27That's how the link I created works.
12:29In short, I'd advise against attacking me.
12:32Oh, I understand.
12:34But I want to experience it for myself!
12:50I've got you, you second psychopath!
12:52You can't use your weapons now!
12:54I'm gonna put you in a hold you can't get out!
12:57Yaku-ken.
12:58Single point focus.
13:00Not good!
13:03Shattering Thunderbolt!
13:10Using an armor of webbing to defuse the impact?
13:14All of you are fascinating!
13:16Now if you don't mind, let's see your poison again!
13:21Come happy with everything you've got!
13:23This boy...
13:24He's out of his mind!
13:27If not, I'll make the first move!
13:30No, don't!
13:31Kalalaya!
13:33Stop, Prince.
13:34She can't control her poison mana.
13:37Once she starts spreading it, we'll all be affected.
13:40That's why she doesn't want to fight!
13:44Come to think of it, none of you seem to have a lot of control over your abilities.
13:49Obviously not!
13:50These damn powers...
13:52If we could control them, we wouldn't live like this!
13:55We wouldn't have ended up as outlaws!
13:58Furthermore, we wouldn't have been cold-plighted!
14:06Red!
14:06Red!
14:07D'A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A!
14:17Calm down.
14:18You're giving off your poison.
14:19Stop!
14:20I'll make you pay for this!
14:22Red, stop.
14:23Trust me, I'm fine.
14:26No.
14:26Oh, better than that.
14:32Look, my mana! It's under control!
14:38I engraved the spell directly onto your body so you can manipulate your abilities now.
14:44You weren't able to do it on your own, so you needed external correction.
14:48The mana that was spewing all over should be circulating in your body.
14:52I've never tried inscribing a spell directly onto a person before, but it looks like it worked.
15:03It's gone! I'm free at last! This damn curse! It's lifted!
15:09Don't cry. It's not exactly gone.
15:13I made it so you can produce mana when you want, instead of all the time.
15:20Come on. Let me help the rest of you.
15:32I can tell! My mana's not going nuts! I'm controlling it!
15:36Not only that, he also healed our injuries?
15:42I haven't spoken normally.
15:45So long!
15:47Wow! A whole sentence!
15:49Watch this! I'm not all stretchy and wriggly anymore!
15:52Look at me! I can hurt myself without injuring other people!
15:56Hey, didn't the Seventh Prince say we could still use our powers? We just have control over them.
16:03How's this?
16:04Hurts a lot!
16:06It worked!
16:07Yeah!
16:13This is great, Ren. You're not leaking poison anymore. You can wear however many layers you want.
16:20Big deal. I don't care.
16:22Oh, yeah? Then why the tears?
16:24So what if I'm tearing up?
16:26It's only because that boy touched me. Not because I'll never accidentally poison someone and get to wear what I
16:31want.
16:32Believe me, it isn't that.
16:34It's not like I actually care that I'm able to live a semi-normal existence!
16:38And done. Looks like the spell is working nicely for all of you.
16:43Wait! So the Seventh Prince is part of the gang now?
16:47And not to mention, that outfit belongs to me!
16:50What are you talking about? We owe Lloyd the world for what he did.
16:55Come on. Help us get ready for his welcoming party, Ren.
16:59His party? But he's been making weapons for a war! And he snuck into our hideout! He's the enemy!
17:05Listen, kid. I don't know where these war rumors got started, but making swords and crushing hideouts is just Prince
17:10Lloyd's idea of having fun.
17:12What kind of Prince makes spellbound swords and sneaks into a den of assassins because he's bored? And what kind
17:17of goat flies and talks?
17:19I'm sure you've seen weirder things.
17:21Besides, that's not important, since all of you can control your powers now.
17:25What do you say you show off what you're really capable of?
17:28Not now. We need to talk. And explain the situation in detail.
17:32You see, there's much you don't know.
17:36I'm with you.
17:38Lloyd showed us a path we thought was impossible, right when we were really beginning to stagnate.
17:44He deserves to know more.
17:46No thanks. I'm good.
17:48It's a long story, but please hear my tale. It's the least I can do for attacking you.
17:55Seriously, it's okay.
17:56Before we begin, I need to take you back in time.
17:59To the day we became the Assassin's Guild, and tell you about our leader, the Phantom Blighter, with the power
18:06of teleportation, Jade the Shadow Wolf.
18:10Go on, then.
18:12Hey, guys. It's been a while.
18:15You're back. Where'd you disappear to, Jade?
18:18Oh, right. I ended up in some really sandy place with a bunch of ruins shaped like this.
18:24Souvenir attack!
18:25How thoughtful.
18:26Did you buy or steal these?
18:28The Phantom Blighted.
18:31His power might have been the worst of all.
18:33He would teleport to random locations, and against his own will.
18:38Don't praise me all at once.
18:40Why would we praise you?
18:43By the way, check this out.
18:46Is that a coin?
18:48It's our Blighted Union's... No, wait. It's the emblem for our Assassin's Guild.
18:54Ah. Is that what we're going by?
18:57From this point onward, we'll take the jobs the Adventurers Guild won't. The shady ones they don't want.
19:03And when we do, we'll leave a coin behind so people know we exist, and are helping the world in
19:08our own way.
19:09We'll prove ourselves to the Adventurers Guild.
19:11If we do that, one day, we'll no longer hide in the dark. We can finally live! Walking in the
19:23sunlight, we'll be free!
19:25Huh?
19:26Ah!
19:28Jake, no!
19:29And right when he got to the good part, why does he always warp away at the worst possible moment?
19:39So, as the Assassin's Guild, we began taking on jobs that were too much for the Adventurers.
19:44I was hoping for info about this guy's teleportation power.
19:48We finally had a sliver of hope for our futures. Then, soon after, we began hearing rumblings about how the
19:55Lord of Lordost was preparing his domain for war.
19:58And that's when Jade...
20:01Huh?
20:19Don't worry, Prince Lloyd! Self has arrived to rescue you!
20:23Prince Lloyd? He's not here. That can't be right.
20:28I'm definitely picking up his scent in this chamber, though.
20:31Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
20:38I'm with the Assassin's Guild. We're going to go and visit the Lord of Lordos' manor. Signed, Lloyd!
20:46Ah!
20:47How did this happen?
20:49When things are already so touch-and-go with Lordos and the Assassin's Guild, why would Lloyd be with them?
20:58What if Lordos and the Assassin's Guild are working together, and they kidnapped him to use as a hostage? Then
21:06I'll have no choice.
21:08Settle down, Al. That's just a theory. We can't declare war on Lordos on the basis of a hunch.
21:13Besides, I can't think of anyone who could kidnap Lloyd.
21:18You're right. Lordos should be the last possible option. I won't have bloodshed. We must find a peaceful resolution.
21:27Lloyd is strong. Some group of rogues couldn't best him.
21:31I found these at their hideout.
21:35Wait. Those are Lloyd's. Are you saying they took them from him?
21:41It would appear so. Also, the clothes are covered in a sticky substance.
21:46Are they? I see. In that case...
21:51To war!
21:53Agreed!
21:54I see. In that case...
22:53I don't know.
23:23See you next time.
23:24See you next time.
