How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord (2018) s02e03 Episode Script
Corrupt Ritual
[BATUTTA]
Yes, the Paladin Brigade.
It's a group of adventures
I organized who are strong
and capable enough of
protecting our local priests.
But I agree with you.
Due to my own failings,
the violence they produce
has increased.
So then. Do I have your word?
You'll correct their behavior?
Yes. Of course.
[LUMACHINA]
Another thing, I'm worried that
this city is plagued
with Death Knell Disease.
I'm aware of
this terrifying illness.
[LUMACHINA] Illness? Don't tell
me you believe those lies.
What lies would those be?
[LUMACHINA] The idea that
it's some sort of contagion.
It's a curse, isn't it?
I don't think I'm following.
I just found out.
As I prayed for that poor child
on the street to be healed.
God responded and
I heard His voice.
He explained that someone
is casting a large-scale curse
to threaten the lives of
citizens living in this city.
[BATUTTA]
Hm?
Does that sound familiar to you?
Huh. Goodness,
I'm surprised you noticed.
What is that supposed to mean?
[gasps]
[LUMACHINA]
I don't feel well.
[gasps]
Lumachina? Can you hear me?
I knew you were shady!
What the? You suck.
Good, Those sleeping aides
took far too long to kick in.
What a waste of
precious time! Shiliu!
[SHILIU]
Yes, sir?
[SHERA] There we go.
Almost done. Right there.
And that should do it!
What did you think?
I guess I enjoyed it.
[clattering]
Who goes there?
Please put that thing away!
Don't you remember me, mister?
Oh, it's you.
Is this what
adventurers here do?
Break into other people's
homes for pleasure?
[HORN] Wha? I came here
because I wanted to see you!
Your mouth. There's brown
stuff all over it.
[gasps] I found leftover
curry in the kitchen.
So what? You're not
the face police!
Diablo, look at this!
See? Next time
you should listen to me!
I told you Batutta would
take your friends away
and he did, didn't he?
What do we do now?
I guess we shouldn't
have trusted him.
I didn't think he would
make a move so quickly.
We're not ready.
We still need time to
recover ourselves, too.
[SHERA]
Recover from what?
Death Knell Disease.
It is a curse. A powerful one.
[BOTH gasp]
[TAKUMA] And by "curse,"
I mean a limited-time event
in Cross Reverie ,
but I'll keep that to myself.
[DIABLO]
The most important task now is
bring Rem and Lumachina back.
[DIABLO]
Let's go!
--[SHERA] Yay!
--[HORN] Right!
[gasps]
Uh, hello?
So, you're finally awake.
[REM gasps]
What is going on?
I don't know. When I woke up,
I was here, too.
[REM] We appear to be
underground somewhere.
And in a demented nightmare.
Hey, Rem?
Do you know
who those people are?
I can't make out
what they're doing.
[PEOPLE moaning]
[REM] Yarn-balls and
catnip! Yarn-balls
What is it?
Uh, it's called "filth."
Having relations and whatnots.
What do you mean by "whatnots"?
Oh boy.
[BATUTTA] Greetings, ladies.
Quite an honor to be
on the altar for our ritual,
don't you think?
Did mommy hurt you?
What honor are you
talking about?
This place is filled
with evil! Look around!
I've never seen
a more repulsive al--
[BATUTTA] Exactly. What we have
here is mass corruption.
Ya know, we can talk
without the theatrics.
Show them.
[SHILIU]
My pleasure.
[BATUTTA]
Stunning, right?
That's the concentrate that
causes the Death Knell Disease.
[BOTH gasp]
[BATUTTA] This concentrate
can only be produced
from the essence of sin.
It's literally the
source of evil itself.
How do we obtain such
an essence one might ask?
Heh. They're like beasts,
aren't they?
Hard to imagine they were
all once devout believers.
Not long ago
their faith was strong.
Virtuous men and chaste women
with a passion for justice.
All it takes is a little push
while they're straddling
their darkest desires
to make humans fall!
Fornication,
bloodshed, gluttony.
When a person gives in,
the essence of evil is created!
Ew. So we're literally hanging
out in your mancave of smut?
Batutta. That's just wrong.
God, where are you?
[BATUTTA] My research
has shown that those who can
perform powerful
miracles will produce
a richer evil essence
when they fall.
Meaning the purest
souls will produce
the strongest concentrate.
But how could you inflict the
Death Knell Disease on so many?
So many? You misunderstand.
I'm targeting but one person.
The lovely Laminitus
is my conquest.
So, tie her to this thing.
All I've heard about you
is what a noble man you are.
Why would you commit
such a colossal sin?
What happened to your heart?
Besides my family
being murdered?
Or being betrayed
by my best friend?
Or being threatened by Fallen?
[BATUTTA] Would those be
enough reasons for you?
You might even empathize
with my choices given my past.
There's no true reason, though--
people are just greedy
and sinful by nature.
But not you.
Oh, I'm looking forward to this.
It's not every day
one gets to watch
the highest member of the Church
give in to lustful desires.
Shiliu, I'll leave
the rest to you.
Your wish is my
ultimate pleasure, Master.
At least you got me
a cute one this time.
I love this "pious princess"
look. [chuckles]
This won't hurt. I promise.
In fact, you'll be
begging for more.
[SHILIU]
I'ma lick you all over!
[SHILIU]
The ultimate tongue bath!
[SHILIU laughs]
[LUMACHINA]
Stop!
Stop! I get it!
[explosion]
[BOTH gasp]
Look! It's Rem and Lumachina!
They're tied up!
Yeah, I know.
[TAKUMA] 'Kay, so, in the game,
this place was where
the Death Knell Disease's
event boss would show up.
Hmm. What are all those
shadows around us?
Whoa? What the French toast?
Since when does Cross
Reverie develop plots
based on frat boy
spank bank material?
[BATUTTA]
I knew you'd show up.
Diablo, was it?
I'm impressed you were
able to find us.
Thanks for making it easy.
I suppose I should
thank your minions as well.
The Paladin Brigade was helpful.
They answered every
single question I asked.
[DIABLO] Now that I'm here,
I have to know,
what is this place?
If you're a first-rate sorcerer,
then you should be able to tell.
You don't need me.
Heh.
[TAKUMA] I'm a first rate
shut-in gamer, bro.
I might need
a little assistance here.
I know of the curse
you're wielding.
The Death Knell Disease.
[BATUTTA] Oh? You must've
heard about it from Lumachina.
Ah, you're saying
she noticed it, too?
You didn't hear of it from her?
A Demon Lord needs no mortals!
I am Diablo!
From another world!
Do you know how silly you sound?
[TAKUMA]
Yeah, I think everyone's
kinda over that by now.
Except Rem and Shera, of course.
They fall for all of it.
[gasps] Admit it.
You learned about the
Death Knell Disease curse
from the Fallen, didn't you?
What? How did you know?
Big ole duh! The only ones
who ever used that curse
in the game were the Fallen,
so where else would
you have learned it?
I told you I'm a Demon Lord.
Now, release those two.
Heh. Quite amusing,
and you seem to be
unreasonably strong, but I
question what kind of magic
you can even use here?
How are your skills when it
comes to fighting on stairs, hm?
I doubt your ability to
defeat me on these steps.
You're the one who will
struggle to defeat me, period.
Explosion!
[BOTH]
Hell yeah!
[BOTH gasp]
What is that?
[BATUTTA]
Well, that wasn't
a very smart place
to land, was it?
If the blast from your
attack causes the walls
or ceiling to collapse,
that could be deadly for you.
And what would happen
to your little friends?
How dare you.
[TAKUMA] He's right,
these walls aren't strong.
I have to be carefull.
Even though he's zipping around
like a poop throwing monkey.
How'd he dodge
my attack so quickly?
I can keep up with that speed,
I just need a spell
with a wider range.
If you're not gonna attack,
then I'm gonna come for you!
[TAKUMA] I don't know
what level of magic to use!
Heh. You can't
hesitate here! Green horn!
[TAKUMA]
He's fast!
[DIABLO groans]
No! Diablo, come back!
Hmph. All right, I'm impressed.
You've got skills.
[BATUTTA]
It's sad.
[BATUTTA chuckles]
You waltzed in so confident
in your abilities.
You failed to realize that you
can't fully use your magic here.
I'm sure you're
proud of yourself
for nailing down
my secret location.
But it was always a trap to
get you right where I need you.
[TAKUMA] Owie, owie.
Shit! I hate him so much!
Heh. You underestimate me.
Should I turn it up?
I can do that!
Sphere of Lightning!
[TAKUMA] This spell only affects
the intended target.
It's not gonna blast walls
or surroundings.
Bring it, Batutta, you're not
getting outta this one.
Especially since we've
got the Ground Mine
backups on the wall
to finish you off.
[TAKUMA] What's wrong?
Why isn't he attacking?
It's too easy.
I know what you're after.
[DIABLO gasps]
[TAKUMA]
He's in my face!
You lost. Try again!
[TAKUMA]
Is that the Rising Spear?
[BATUTTA grunts]
[TAKUMA]
Aw crap! I can't dodge!
Fine, then!
[TAKUMA] Did I get stabbed?
In the freakin' heart? So lame.
Oh no. Blood.
Diablo!
[TAKUMA]
I'm gonna die.
I win. You lose.
My preparation
is always flawless
so that I may strategically
lure in my enemies.
This ensures I defeat them
from a stronger position!
[laughs]
[SHERA]
Diablo! Diablo!
Hey! I'm here.
[BATUTTA laughing]
[thud]
[DIABLO]
Gotcha.
Wait. How are you alive?
[DIABLO chuckles]
This spell can't be used
without touching the target.
Looks like you messed up.
[BATUTTA gasps]
[DIABLO]
Absolute Zero!
[DIABLO] I think you'll make
a great ice sculpture!
[BATUTTA screams]
[gasps, yells]
You idiot.
What's wrong?
Losing your arm and weapon
wasn't part of your strategy?
[TAKUMA]
Aw, damn!
It seriously feels like
I'm about to die!
If no one was around, I'd be
screaming like a sick goat!
The cape I wear is called
the Curtain of Dark Clouds.
It allows me to
survive any attack
with just one
hit point remaining.
I never thought there'd come a
time when I'd actually need it.
Looks like my Distorted
Crown's auto-recovery
has been activated, too.
[BATUTTA]
What is this?
Are you telling me
you're immortal?
Heh.
Impossible! Shiliu!
[SHILIU]
I'm ready for you, Master.
[LUMACHINA gasps]
[SHILIU]
Congratulations.
Looks like your strategy
has triumphed after all.
Rem, no!
Don't stop! You have to
keep fighting!
I'll wait for you right here!
[BATUTTA chuckles]
Think that's funny?
I'll kill you!
[TAKUMA]
Yeah right. How?
[DIABLO gasps]
[SHILIU groans]
Check it out!
This Angel Shot really works!
Great job! Way to go, Shera!
[SHILIU groans]
[SHERA gasps]
She really turned to stone?
What? It must be an effect
of Klem's magic power!
Oh no, is it?
That could be terrifying.
Hey, um, Shiliu?
That was hot!
[HORN]
Did they hurt you?
Uh-- Why're you here?
[giggles] I wanted to
prove myself to that guy.
I want him to know
I can be useful, too!
[TAKUMA]
"That guy"?
So, what's your plan, Batutta?
[TAKUMA] That works.
We managed to win somehow.
[BATUTTA chuckles]
I hope every one of you's
prepared to drown
in a sea of despair.
[DIABLO]
Uh, what?
I regret that I won't be
able to watch your faces
fill with grief!
It breaks my heart!
[TAKUMA]
Is he still wanting to fight?
[BATUTTA grunts]
Activate Shining Blow!
Darkness Cannon!
[BOTH yelling]
Diablo!
[yelling]
[DIABLO]
It's no use!
I'm a Demon Lord
from another world, Diablo!
[SHERA]
Diablo!
[DIABLO] Shera? What are you
doing down here?
This place is about to collapse!
Yeah, that's why we have to
get out of here fast!
Let's grab the others!
[TAKUMA] She could have
escaped by herself.
[TAKUMA]
Sheesh.
Huh?
[DIABLO]
Hold on tight, okay?
[gasps]
[SHERA screams]
[groans] Who are you?
What's your problem?
[VARAKNESS]
I hope you'll forgive me
for interrupting your bath.
My name is Varakness,
and I've been appointed as
the Grand General of
the Demon Lord's Army.
The Demon Lord has
I mean, His Majesty
has finally awakened,
and I've come here today
to advise you to surrender.
Surrender to what?
Is the Demon Lord planning
to rule over this city?
Yes, and trust his
rules will be merciful
and fair, as is His Lordship.
[chuckles]
[VARAKNESS]
He's decided to have
all the mortal races
commit suicide.
That's far more merciful
than allowing them
to be devoured alive
by a bevy of monsters.
What do you think?
[LAMINITUS] Fascinating.
But you're an idiot!
[VARAKNESS laughs]
Be still, my cold heart!
You have no idea how much I
adore strong, feisty women.
Don't toy with me!
[VARAKNESS chuckles]
Sweet Fanis Laminitus.
I have no interest
in killing you.
Quite the opposite!
I'd love for you
to join my harem!
You did not just say that.
You have time,
I'll be by to collect you
the night of the next full moon.
I'm looking forward to seeing
the wedding dress you pick out,
Dear Fanis. [chuckles]
[LAMINITUS]
Quit saying my name in a tone
that suggests you know me.
Gross me out!
[LAMINITUS] The night of
the next full moon.
[LAMINITUS gasps]
[LAMINITUS]
Huh?
[HORN]
It's floating.
Oh my goodness,
we're really floating!
Yeah we are!
Thanks for the save!
One day I'll quit
expecting you to fail
and be more
comfortably apathetic.
Wow! I feel like we barely
made it out of that one!
[TAKUMA]
You're not wrong.
Do something!
What can he do?
Just stay close to me!
[ALL gasp]
When I tell you to change
positions you do as I command!
[DIABLO]
Adzet! Rise!
[TAKUMA] I'm still processing
how close that was.
[REM]
Lumachina?
[SHERA] Hey! Can you hear me?
Wake up! Please wake up!
You better not be faking!
I'll hate you forever.
[DIABLO] There! That's the
Death Knell Disease!
[REM]
What? How'd she get that?
[SHERA]
How contagious is it?
[BATUTTA] I hope every
one of you's prepared
to drown in a sea of despair.
[TAKUMA]
He had already done it.
He placed the curse
on Lumachina.
Come on! Wake up!
You know how you prayed for
that baby? Let's do it now!
[DIABLO]
That's impossible.
The miracles. She can't
use them on herself.
Unfortunately,
the power of miracles
doesn't work on my own body.
It can't be.
Come on! You have to wake up!
[LUMACHINA]
Please don't cry.
It's meant to be.
I promise. It's God's plan.
[DIABLO]
You're right.
Shut up!
Please don't. This is hard.
She's not dying yet, calm down!
[LUMACHINA]
I feel so tired.
[DIABLO]
Didn't you make the journey here
to battle corruption within
the Church by yourself?
I know you've got
some strength, so use it!
Don't you dare surrender
to some curse!
I'll lend you my power!
But you have to
get up and fight this!
[SHERA, REM gasp]
Um. Right. I will!
I'll refuse to give into curses!
Put a little faith in me.
Rabbit Ears!
Make yourself useful and
lead us to a new dungeon!
[HORN]
Okay! Yes!
[TAKUMA] If I'm right,
the protective charm I won
by clearing events should be
somewhere in that dungeon.
That's where we'll
find the item!
We're going to heal Lumachina
and then defeat the
Death Knell Disease!
[TAKUMA] I never thought I'd be
taking on my own dungeon.
[HORN] You're telling us
to dance on that stage?
[DIABLO]
Just die already!
For the love of
all expensive cosmetics!
Yes, the Paladin Brigade.
It's a group of adventures
I organized who are strong
and capable enough of
protecting our local priests.
But I agree with you.
Due to my own failings,

You've got skills.
[BATUTTA]
It's sad.
[BATUTTA chuckles]
You waltzed in so confident
in your abilities.
You failed to realize that you
can't fully use your magic here.
I'm sure you're
proud of yourself
for nailing down
my secret location.
But it was always a trap to
get you right where I need you.
[TAKUMA] Owie, owie.
Shit! I hate him so much!
Heh. You underestimate me.
Should I turn it up?
I can do that!
Sphere of Lightning!
[TAKUMA] This spell only affects
the intended target.
It's not gonna blast walls
or surroundings.
Bring it, Batutta, you're not
getting outta this one.
Especially since we've
got the Ground Mine
backups on the wall
to finish you off.
[TAKUMA] What's wrong?
Why isn't he attacking?
It's too easy.
I know what you're after.
[DIABLO gasps]
[TAKUMA]
He's in my face!
You lost. Try again!
[TAKUMA]
Is that the Rising Spear?
[BATUTTA grunts]
[TAKUMA]
Aw crap! I can't dodge!
Fine, then!
[TAKUMA] Did I get stabbed?
In the freakin' heart? So lame.
Oh no. Blood.
Diablo!
[TAKUMA]
I'm gonna die.
I win. You lose.
My preparation
is always flawless
so that I may strategically
lure in my enemies.
This ensures I defeat them
from a stronger position!
[laughs]
[SHERA]
Diablo! Diablo!
Hey! I'm here.
[BATUTTA laughing]
[thud]
[DIABLO]
Gotcha.
Wait. How are you alive?
[DIABLO chuckles]
This spell can't be used
without touching the target.
Looks like you messed up.
[BATUTTA gasps]
[DIABLO]
Absolute Zero!
[DIABLO] I think you'll make
a great ice sculpture!
[BATUTTA screams]
[gasps, yells]
You idiot.
What's wrong?
Losing your arm and weapon
wasn't part of your strategy?
[TAKUMA]
Aw, damn!
It seriously feels like
I'm about to die!
If no one was around, I'd be
screaming like a sick goat!
The cape I wear is called
the Curtain of Dark Clouds.
It allows me to
survive any attack
with just one
hit point remaining.
I never thought there'd come a
time when I'd actually need it.
Looks like my Distorted
Crown's auto-recovery
has been activated, too.
[BATUTTA]
What is this?
Are you telling me
you're immortal?
Heh.
Impossible! Shiliu!
[SHILIU]
I'm ready for you, Master.
[LUMACHINA gasps]
[SHILIU]
Congratulations.
Looks like your strategy
has triumphed after all.
Rem, no!
Don't stop! You have to
keep fighting!
I'll wait for you right here!
[BATUTTA chuckles]
Think that's funny?
I'll kill you!
[TAKUMA]
Yeah right. How?
[DIABLO gasps]
[SHILIU groans]
Check it out!
This Angel Shot really works!
Great job! Way to go, Shera!
[SHILIU groans]
[SHERA gasps]
She really turned to stone?
What? It must be an effect
of Klem's magic power!
Oh no, is it?
That could be terrifying.
Hey, um, Shiliu?
That was hot!
[HORN]
Did they hurt you?
Uh-- Why're you here?
[giggles] I wanted to
prove myself to that guy.
I want him to know
I can be useful, too!
[TAKUMA]
"That guy"?
So, what's your plan, Batutta?
[TAKUMA] That works.
We managed to win somehow.
[BATUTTA chuckles]
I hope every one of you's
prepared to drown
in a sea of despair.
[DIABLO]
Uh, what?
I regret that I won't be
able to watch your faces
fill with grief!
It breaks my heart!
[TAKUMA]
Is he still wanting to fight?
[BATUTTA grunts]
Activate Shining Blow!
Darkness Cannon!
[BOTH yelling]
Diablo!
[yelling]
[DIABLO]
It's no use!
I'm a Demon Lord
from another world, Diablo!
[SHERA]
Diablo!
[DIABLO] Shera? What are you
doing down here?
This place is about to collapse!
Yeah, that's why we have to
get out of here fast!
Let's grab the others!
[TAKUMA] She could have
escaped by herself.
[TAKUMA]
Sheesh.
Huh?
[DIABLO]
Hold on tight, okay?
[gasps]
[SHERA screams]
[groans] Who are you?
What's your problem?
[VARAKNESS]
I hope you'll forgive me
for interrupting your bath.
My name is Varakness,
and I've been appointed as
the Grand General of
the Demon Lord's Army.
The Demon Lord has
I mean, His Majesty
has finally awakened,
and I've come here today
to advise you to surrender.
Surrender to what?
Is the Demon Lord planning
to rule over this city?
Yes, and trust his
rules will be merciful
and fair, as is His Lordship.
[chuckles]
[VARAKNESS]
He's decided to have
all the mortal races
commit suicide.
That's far more merciful
than allowing them
to be devoured alive
by a bevy of monsters.
What do you think?
[LAMINITUS] Fascinating.
But you're an idiot!
[VARAKNESS laughs]
Be still, my cold heart!
You have no idea how much I
adore strong, feisty women.
Don't toy with me!
[VARAKNESS chuckles]
Sweet Fanis Laminitus.
I have no interest
in killing you.
Quite the opposite!
I'd love for you
to join my harem!
You did not just say that.
You have time,
I'll be by to collect you
the night of the next full moon.
I'm looking forward to seeing
the wedding dress you pick out,
Dear Fanis. [chuckles]
[LAMINITUS]
Quit saying my name in a tone
that suggests you know me.
Gross me out!
[LAMINITUS] The night of
the next full moon.
[LAMINITUS gasps]
[LAMINITUS]
Huh?
[HORN]
It's floating.
Oh my goodness,
we're really floating!
Yeah we are!
Thanks for the save!
One day I'll quit
expecting you to fail
and be more
comfortably apathetic.
Wow! I feel like we barely
made it out of that one!
[TAKUMA]
You're not wrong.
Do something!
What can he do?
Just stay close to me!
[ALL gasp]
When I tell you to change
positions you do as I command!
[DIABLO]
Adzet! Rise!
[TAKUMA] I'm still processing
how close that was.
[REM]
Lumachina?
[SHERA] Hey! Can you hear me?
Wake up! Please wake up!
You better not be faking!
I'll hate you forever.
[DIABLO] There! That's the
Death Knell Disease!
[REM]
What? How'd she get that?
[SHERA]
How contagious is it?
[BATUTTA] I hope every
one of you's prepared
to drown in a sea of despair.
[TAKUMA]
He had already done it.
He placed the curse
on Lumachina.
Come on! Wake up!
You know how you prayed for
that baby? Let's do it now!
[DIABLO]
That's impossible.
The miracles. She can't
use them on herself.
Unfortunately,
the power of miracles
doesn't work on my own body.
It can't be.
Come on! You have to wake up!
[LUMACHINA]
Please don't cry.
It's meant to be.
I promise. It's God's plan.
[DIABLO]
You're right.
Shut up!
Please don't. This is hard.
She's not dying yet, calm down!
[LUMACHINA]
I feel so tired.
[DIABLO]
Didn't you make the journey here
to battle corruption within
the Church by yourself?
I know you've got
some strength, so use it!
Don't you dare surrender
to some curse!
I'll lend you my power!
But you have to
get up and fight this!
[SHERA, REM gasp]
Um. Right. I will!
I'll refuse to give into curses!
Put a little faith in me.
Rabbit Ears!
Make yourself useful and
lead us to a new dungeon!
[HORN]
Okay! Yes!
[TAKUMA] If I'm right,
the protective charm I won
by clearing events should be
somewhere in that dungeon.
That's where we'll
find the item!
We're going to heal Lumachina
and then defeat the
Death Knell Disease!
[TAKUMA] I never thought I'd be
taking on my own dungeon.
[HORN] You're telling us
to dance on that stage?
[DIABLO]
Just die already!
For the love of
all expensive cosmetics!
