How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord (2018) s01e08 Episode Script

[deranged chuckling]
It's simply wonderful!
Just as I'd expect
from a forbidden Summon
that has the power
to destroy the entire world.
[cackles]
[TAKUMA]
I don't remember seeing
a Summon like
this in Cross Reverie.
I think you
should probably run!
That guardian deity's
been growing
in the royal family
for generations!
Not even you
can defeat it!
[roars]
[whimpering]
[DIABLO]
I'm intrigued.
[DIABLO]
Everyone, stand back.
[DIABLO] I need room
to crush that thing!
[growling]
That's it. Attack, Force Hydra!
Tear that demon apart!
[roars]
[yelps]
Goodness. Looks like you might
need to re-train this one.
[TAKUMA] I don't
recognize this monster
or the flute he was using
to control Shera.
It's possible that planned
elements of Cross Reverie
that haven't been
released in the real world
are present here.
Which makes it
that much more exciting.
[panting]
[CELSIOR]
Huh? Isn't that?
You idiot! Just give up now!
There's no possible
way for you to win!
[TAKUMA]
He's got a lot of confidence
in this over-sized lizard,
doesn't he?
[DIABLO]
Heaven's Fall!
[groaning]
[TAKUMA]
It's much weaker than I thought.
Just four of five
more shots left.
[TAKUMA]
Regeneration?
That's way too fast!
Is there a glitch?
[DIABLO grunts]
--Come on, Diablo!
--Diablo!
That's it, Force Hydra!
Blow the bastard awa-- [yelps]
[TAKUMA] Dragon's Breath
is a purely elemental attack.
Magic Reflection and
physical damage reduction
won't counter it.
What I'm actually worried
about is its skills.
Summons are
supposed to be limited
to just one power.
[TAKUMA]
Not this guy.
It seems to
have at least two.
[grunts]
[TAKUMA]
Ice, Sand, Wind and Fire?
It can't have
that many attacks!
Is this just a world that
happens to resemble
Cross Reverie
but is actually
totally different?
Yes, yes, that's it!
Cower before
my Summon!
Anyone who
gets in my way
will be obliterated
by my guardian beast.
[cackles]
[TAKUMA]
It has to have a weakness,
but where is it?
[SHERA]
Diablo!
The Force Hydra
has a core on its body
that holds
all of its power.
If you can find
and destroy it,
that will return it
to its crystal!
[TAKUMA]
Destroy the core.
Oh, how convenient
that you can remember
something like that!
Only thing is
she forgot to tell you
that the core moves
continuously
within its body.
So, it won't be that easy
for you to find!
[KEERA chuckles]
[DIABLO] You say that like
it's a unique trait.
What's that?
[DIABLO] I wasn't planning
to search for it.
Matoi Izuna!
[KEERA whimpers]
[growls]
[whimpering]
[ALL]
Huh?
[KEERA whimpers]
No. What is this power?
This shouldn't be possible.
[gasps]
[REM]
Glad you finally figured it out!
I've never
seen anyone
beat a Summon
that powerful.
You're very impressive.
[KEERA gasps]
What the hell are you?
[DIABLO]
I am Diablo,
the wild Demon Lord
from another world
where not even
Elves can tame.
[KEERA]
You are not! Shut up!
Like I'd really believe
you're a Demon Lord!
I have no problem
proving it to you.
You'll need to pay
for your mistakes
with your pathetic life!
[grunts]
[DIABLO]
Say your goodbyes, Elf.
--[KEERA whimpers]
--Come forth
Burst Explos--
--[SHERA] Wait! Don't do it!
--[grunts]
But, why?
If you're
under his spell,
you need to
snap out of it!
It's really me.
No one hates my brother
more than I do.
He's the worst.
But, still
I can't change the fact
that he's family.
He's still the one
who made me smile
when we were little.
[growls]
[DIABLO]
Are you sure about this?
[SHERA]
Mm
Thank you very much.
And I'm sorry.
[GALFORD]
It defeats the entire purpose
if you decide to spare him.
[KEERA rasps]
Shera
[gasp]
[shrieks]
Master Keera!
[gasping]
[DIABLO]
Galford?
[whimpers]
[gasps]
Galford.
What are you doing here?
You'll pay for that!
[CELSIOR grunts]
This is what we call a war.
It started the moment that
Elf prince sent his troops
into another
nation's territory.
He should have known that he
was gambling with his own life.
[grunting]
Exterminate
the Elven troops
scattered
throughout the forest!
Capture the princess!
You may eliminate
all who try to interfere!
Hold on.
Was this part of
your plan all along?
You ordered me
to fight the Elves,
in the name of Faltra,
so that you
would be justified
in seizing Greenwood?
If you intend
to cause a scene,
I'll be forced
to eliminate you.
[gasping]
[SHERA whimpers]
[TAKUMA gasps]
What is this?
[grunts]
Another spell
I don't know.
It's been nothing
but surprises all day.
It's Ritual Magic
designed to capture
more powerful monsters.
I hope you'll take it as a
compliment on your strength.
[ALICIA]
Sir Galford.
--[GALFORD] Hmm?
--Please explain yourself.
What is the meaning of this?
[GALFORD]
I'm the Lord of Faltra,
which means
some of my duties
include crushing invaders
and protecting my people.
That's fine,
but you're killing those
who have surrendered!
[GALFORD]
Is that so?
It doesn't look as though
they've surrendered to me.
Is my military judgment
being questioned
by a lone imperial knight?
You know it's wrong
and I'm going to stop you!
[GALFORD]
Hmm.
How do you
plan to do that
when your sword
has no blade?
--[gasps]
--[clatters]
No way
It's like he
did it with his mind.
[TAKUMA]
Damn, he's fast!
Those movements are on
a completely different level
than other soldiers
and adventurers.
He's surpassed
all human limits!
Definitely above level 100!
[GALFORD]
You're free to return
to the capital
and give your report.
[ALICIA whimpers]
[GALFORD]
Just know that His Majesty
will always side
with the stronger person.
[grunts]
[TAKUMA]
If this continues,
it won't just be Shera.
Rem and Alicia
will be in danger, too.
It's time to sense
the flow of magic power.
[TAKUMA]
I got this!
This is nothing compared
to the enslavement collars.
Where is the power
here centered?
Are we ready to begin?
Grab the princess.
Kill any who interfere.
[KNIGHTS]
Yes, sir!
[whimpers]
[TAKUMA]
There's the yarn ball!
That's the center
of magic power.
Hurry!
Didn't expect that.
So you
unraveled the barrier?
[ALICIA gasps]
I knew he'd do it.
[GALFORD]
Stand back.
[GALFORD]
I suppose I should have
dealt with you right away.
Wouldn't have
worked for you.
You were
hoping I'd wear out
fighting the Elves,
and then
you would invade.
Also known as a "strategy."
Not that I'd expect you
to understand.
I wasn't trying to.
Everyone knows that
insults from an opponent
are praise to a soldier.
The only way you'll
insult anyone
is by showing your face
after I destroy it.
[GALFORD chuckles]
Explosion!
[DIABLO grunts]
[DIABLO]
Distance!
[TAKUMA grunts]
The hell?
He's got that whole "don't
give an enemy an opening"
thing down hard!
[gasping]
[GALFORD]
Looks like you didn't have to
fight the Elves
to get worn down.
Your movements
are rather slow
for a Sorcerer
who defeated
an army of Fallen,
aren't they?
Heh! It takes a lot of strength
to motivate me,
and you're too weak!
That's fine.
It only makes you
that much easier to read.
Nothing wasted.
Hmm.
So you laid
a trap for me, then?
[TAKUMA]
It's called Super Mine.
It's a spell planted
in the ground
that explodes
when someone steps on it.
You know,
it's been 30 years
since anyone's tried
to wound me, Diablo.
--How fun.
--Sure is.
And you've never
faced a better opponent.
Which is why you'll lose.
[TAKUMA] He's keeping me
from reading his path somehow.
Good call. However!
I happen
to know how to
close in
on a Sorcerer,
which means
I can also prevent it!
It's called research, Galf!
All my shower-less days
are about to pay off!
And you don't
wanna mess with me,
Lord Failure!
The man standing
before you is one
who has sent countless
challengers to the grave.
Diablo, the Demon Lord!
[TAKUMA]
An opening!
Freeze Zone!
[TAKUMA]
It's all over.
Galfie!
--[GALFORD grunts]
--[TAKUMA] What the?!
Crap, I can't move
because of my skill's recoil!
That turd created the opening
just to draw a bigger
move out of me!
You're better than
I thought, Gal-loser!
[GALFORD grunts]
[grunts]
[gasping]
[GALFORD groans]
One of those was Omit.
The other was Lightning Bullet.
[TAKUMA]
That was too close.
I didn't think Galford
was capable of
using Martial Arts
as his absolute defense.
It worked perfectly
against my attacks.
That last skill
was Heat Sonic,
which I learned
around level 120.
That makes him
the most powerful opponent
I've had since
coming to this world.
[GALFORD groans]
[GALFORD]
Aren't you going to kill me now?
[gasps, rasps]
Guess you didn't
realize I was still alive.
[TAKUMA]
Seriously, old man?
If he thinks it was
a close match,
he might
change his diapers
and come
after me again.
I don't want him
to get fixated.
I guess I should try
and intimidate him more.
[groans]
[DIABLO laughs]
Your weakness made me
lose interest!
I'm dying of boredom.
Someone like you would
never be a good match!
[GALFORD growls]
Are you going to kill me or not?
Perhaps I would if you
were a normal opponent.
But it looks like you
risked it all to strike
while I was frozen
after a huge move.
You honestly didn't think
I planned for that?
If you're not
strong enough
to anticipate
my strategies,
then you're not
a threat to me.
Even if I let you live.
You sure? I could still give
a report to His Royal Majesty
which would put you
at a disadvantage.
Huh?
[ALICIA]
Perhaps.
But I won't allow
that to happen.
Sir Galford, I'm
prepared to report
that you took action
with the intent of
destroying our peace
with the surrounding nations.
[GALFORD]
I still say killing me
is the only way
to ensure your safety.
[DIABLO]
Enough!
If you wanna die,
do it on your own!
If you wish to challenge me,
I will take you on
at any time.
But,
if you move against me
or my possessions again,
I will reduce both you
and your land to ash!
[growls]
[GALFORD]
All units, withdraw!
[sighs]
Galford just went to
pout in the woods.
Thanks for making
my entire night.
[DIABLO]
You're welcome, Rem.
[REM giggles]
So, hey, do you
have any extra
healing potions
floating around?
[DIABLO grunts]
Are you injured?
[chuckles]
It's actually not for me.
I wanted to use it on
some of the wounded Elves
that aren't that ugly.
[gasps]
[DIABLO]
Oh. Fine.
[REM giggles]
Thanks, yo.
I know you
secretly love them.
[growls]
Disgusting!
Say that one more time
and I'll blow
the entire forest down!
[REM] Why don't you
huff and puff about it first?
I'm gonna heal the Elves.
I'll tell 'em you said hi.
[DIABLO groans]
Please don't.
--[REM] Real talk?
--[DIABLO] Hmm?
Go to Shera.
She needs you right now.
[SHERA]
It had to happen, right?
I don't understand
international matters, but
I know Keera
did something bad.
I hated my brother more than
I ever admitted to anyone.
[gasps]
[SHERA]
But
I never thought this
would be the way it ended.
I still lost a part of me.
[wails, sobs]
[wailing continues]
[TAKUMA]
Three days have passed
since we stopped the war
between the Elves and Faltra.
Life went on as usual
for everyone in the city.
They never even knew how close
they were to facing danger.
Shera was
upset for a long time.
But Rem has a way of
livening things up.
Alicia returned
to her duties
and headed
toward the capital
to report the events in
detail to the emperor.
As for Greenwood,
Celsior took initiative
in explaining matters
to the kingdom.
And I'm just the usual.
Over it with
a side of blah.
When my Magic Points
are next to zero,
I can't find the drive
to do anything.
It would be fine
if that's all it was,
but we're also
stupid broke.
Frickin' Gal-Dwarf.
Even though we
completed the quest
to prevent war
with the Elves,
he was our client and I
beat the crap out of him.
He repaid me by
stiffing us on the reward.
Stupid Galford!
I hate your stupid face!
[knocking]
[DIABLO]
What?
Rise and shine,
Deeb-arooni!
What do you want?
[SYLVIE] I thought you might
be sulking your life away,
so I brought you something
to bring you back.
[DIABLO]
An MP potion?
[SYLVIE] Very close!
Except, no. Even better.
A booze cruise
with this lovely spirit
that has the ability
to recover Magic Points.
[DIABLO]
Never heard of it.
[SYLVIE] Probably because
it's for babies,
but that means
it's tastier than a potion,
and it was cheap as hell!
Get up! Let me fix ya!
[SYLVIE]
Cheers!
[DIABLO]
Yep.
[TAKUMA] So this is
what it's come to, huh?
I never got into drinking.
[SYLVIE] Doesn't work
if you just stare at it.
Right.
[TAKUMA]
Well. Buff Diablo's tolerance
is probably
stronger than mine.
And there was
never a drunk status
or anything
in Cross Reverie.
[SYLVIE giggles]
[TAKUMA]
So, it's totally fine.
[gulps]
[SYLVIE laughs]
You've done this before,
haven't you?
--[SYLVIE giggles]
--[DIABLO sighs]
Maybe a time or two.
[SYLVIE]
What? Oh!
[DIABLO slurring] Hmm?
I'm an expert in swallowing
and the drinking.
'Cause I'm a Demon Lord,
ya hear me?
[SYLVIE chuckles]
Oh, I hear ya
lush.
[DIABLO groans]
Squishy pill-il-lilow!
[SYLVIE]
Watch the hair!
Shnuggle soft squishy
fabrics and squish.
--[DIABLO moans]
--[SYLVIE screams]
Nope! Nothing squishy here!
I'm just a guildmaster
and this is not part
of the job description!
[DIABLO]
It's okay, pillow, don't cry.
I get you.
--[DIABLO] Shh.
--Hey! Get up!
--[DIABLO] Huh?
--[yelps]
Somethin's mean 'n
givin' me hurtings.
[SYLVIE]
Nope! Not a toy!
Seriously,
don't pull that!
If you do, all the demons
in the world will die!
[SYLVIE yelps]
Motor boatin'.
Come on, Deebs.
Get up.
Can't breathe.
No. That's not okay!
I'm really ticklish, especially
on this spot on my knee!
[SYLVIE]
No, don't, stop, no, don't!
[moans]
[panting]
Well, this is awkward.
And you totally
owe me a new outfit.
Are you listening to me?
[snoring]
[SYLVIE growls]
No! You cannot pass
out on me like this!
What if Rem and Shera
were to walk in right now?
I'm the Guildmaster, dammit!
Wake up!
[EDELGARD]
I sense a demon lord's soul.
[ALICIA]
That man. His true power is
[SADDLER]
You can tell a person's worth
by the color of their
exposed, steaming innards.
