How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord (2018) s02e10 Episode Script

Pretend God

[EUROPA roars]
Oh my. That's nothing
but pure evil!
[TAKUMA] Why is this
monster at the Church?
[VISHOS]
You call yourself a Demon Lord,
but you don't stand
a chance against me
now that I've become
one with God!
I know that voice!
It's Vishos!
[BELIEVER 10A]
I recognize that evil laugh.
Is that?
Why's Vishos up there?
I don't believe it.
Such a repulsive being couldn't
possibly join with God.
[VISHOS]
Don't test me, girlie!
You'll have proof soon enough
when you're facing this
god's judgement! [laughs]
[DIABLO]
Heh. You call that God?
You truly are an idiot.
Even Europa is simply a weapon
summoned by ritual magic!
Wait just a minute!
How do you know that?
[TAKUMA]
Well, because it was the boss of
a limited-time event
in Cross Reverie ,
so this calls for lies.
[DIABLO]
I'm glad you asked!
It's because I'm a Demon Lord
from another world!
[VISHOS] Playing games,
you mysterious bastard?
Fine! It doesn't matter
who you are,
you will never beat Europa!
[TAKUMA] Crap! Europa's attacks
aren't actually magic.
My Demon Lord's Ring
can't reflect them.
It may not be the same
as in the game,
so if I test it and it fails,
I'm completely screwed.
This is bad! This is
really really bad!
What's gonna happen to him?
I wouldn't ask.
Wow! That's a
raid boss, isn't it?
I'm collating data.
He's the God of Destruction.
Europa's level may
exceed two hundred.
Is that bad?
[REM]
It looked like it came out of
the bottom floor
of the sanctuary.
Which means there must be
something down there!
Where are you going?
[VISHOS]
I would run if I were you,
you self-proclaimed Demon Lord!
[TAKUMA]
Damn it!
Explosion, go!
[TAKUMA] I knew it.
Those are enchantments.
He put his damn barrier up.
Now that I've become a God,
I'm invincible! [laughs]
[LUMACHINA]
Vishos!
[VISHOS]
Lumachina!
Still at it.
How many acts of corruption
are you planning?
I won't stop until
I reach my goal.
To overpower the
God of this world!
And I think I'll
start with you! Die!
[roars]
[laughs]
[VISHOS] They're gone?
Where the hell did they go?
[gasps] Diablo, you're bleeding!
[TAKUMA] This isn't good.
I've only played this game solo,
so I never picked up any spells
to protect someone else.
Shit! I took a ton
of damage from that, too.
[VISHOS]
Damn it! Quit moving around!
Lumachina, there's something
I need you to do for me.
Yes. Sure. What?
[DIABLO] Dispel! You know
how to use it, don't you?
Um. The miracle? [gasps]
Yes! I can do it!
We have to eliminate
that defensive barrier.
It's the only way to
defeat him. Hold on.
He's about to destroy
the Demon Lord.
This is it. I think
we'll be saved.
It's true. Everything Vishos
told us was the truth!
[BELIEVER 10D]
He was right!
[BELIEVER 10E]
Please save us!
Quiet! That monsters' not God!
Would He destroy the sanctuary?
Would God try to harm
the Head Priest? Come on!
Those are both works
of a Demon Lord!
Trust Lumachina.
She's the only one
who constantly
tries to share the word of God!
We should all have
faith in her! I do.
[HORN] Um, where are Mister
Diablo and the others?
Wherever they are,
I hope Diablo's okay.
I've located them.
Look over there.
Our dearest God
who art in Heaven,
please use your power
to ward off the wicked
who would bring harm and
misfortune to your children.
Cleanse their souls,
exorcise all disasters,
and grant them your love
and merciful forgiveness.
Bless their lives
and purify them.
[TAKUMA] A priest's miracles
are very powerful,
but they take a long
time to activate.
Gotta keep her safe
while we wait.
[VISHOS cackles] Are you truly
planning to use Dispel?
How adorable!
Too bad there's no way
it'll be ready in time!
[DIABLO]
You stay back!
Leave my Master alone!
Or deal with me!
Wait, Rose!
[VISHOS]
What do you think you're doing?
Outta the way,
you pathetic puppet!
[ROSE] Nobody ever
calls me a puppet! Never!
Magimatic Sol!
[VISHOS]
You fool!
[ROSE screams]
Rose, no!
No!
[DIABLO]
Rose. Wake up!
What were you thinking?
[ROSE]
M-Master. You're safe.
I'm so glad. I, um
You've done a great job.
Now just leave the rest to me.
Wait. Is she okay?
Lumachina, even though
we know prayer doesn't work.
What? Right!
Go Lightning Arrow!
[VISHOS]
Stay out of my way, all of you!
Or else be eliminated!
Volcanic Wall!
[VISHOS]
It's no use!
[DIABLO screams]
Oh no. Poor Demon Lord.
Is God too powerful for you?
Do us all a favor and vanish
along with that
ancient sanctuary!
What a wonderful place
to build my castle!
A castle fit for
a brand-new God!
[TAKUMA]
Are we gonna die here?
[LUMACHINA] Diablo, sir?
Everything is ready.
[DIABLO] Thank you,
Lumachina. Release it all!
[LUMACHINA] Right! Our God.
O sacred purification!
[VISHOS]
Don't be so naïve!
[VISHOS] I've invested far more
years into this than you have!
I refuse to lose to some girl!
[gasps] The power of God is so.
Is it her light that's
being pushed back?
At last! Die, Lumachina!
Not good. This is way bad.
We could run? Wanna run again?
[SHERA]
Look! It's everyone's prayers!
Up there! There are so many!
[HORN]
What are you talking about?
I can't see anything.
[BABALON] That figures,
you do strike me as
the type who wouldn't
believe in God.
[HORN]
Huh? Uh
[SHERA]
Beautiful. Like floating stars!
With this many prayers,
God has to hear them!
He has to!
It feels really warm
all of a sudden.
That's elven royalty
for you! Lookin' good!
[gasps] Where is all this
light coming from?
[LUMACHINA]
From love.
This is the light brought
about through prayer.
The luminous power of faith.
Impossible!
Everyone knows that
praying doesn't work!
It's a meaningless
waste of time!
[LUMACHINA]
You're wrong.
God listens to the prayers
of all His people.
Even you in your
weakest moments.
O God, grant us
your purifying light!
[VISHOS]
Impossible!
[VISHOS screams]
Diablo.
You'll pay for that!
[DIABLO]
Well done, Lumachina!
I'm proud of you.
Vishos! You've got nothing
protecting you now!
[DIABLO] Shining Lance
in my right hand,
and Darkness Lance in my left.
We're not done. You just wait.
I'll pierce your soul with every
drop of my magic power!
Even with many
enchantments gone,
Europa, the God of Destruction
won't lose to a weak
Elemental Sorcerer!
See, that's where
you're confused.
Once Europa's lost
its enchantments,
there's nothing left of it.
Just a weak raid boss.
[gasps] A raid?
[DIABLO] Light and Dark
Composite Magic.
Come forth! Annihilation Sphere!
[DIABLO yells]
[VISHOS screaming]
That's what we like to hear!
And now begone from this world!
Oh. Why are you here?
Well. Look who it is.
It's been a while, hasn't it?
[REM]
You did all of this?
A living display of betrayal
from Paladin to Cardinal?
Yeah right.
I'm not a Paladin anymore,
my dear girl.
Against my heart's desires.
Whatever. Then it's
your employer's.
Those sickos want
to see people silenced!
Permanently silenced!
[GEWALT] Clever interpretation
for such a dumb girl.
You ready to die now?
[gasps]
Well. It doesn't matter.
It seems I owe you--or Lumachina
a favor or two
from earlier anyway.
[REM]
What is this?
Have you ever heard
of the name Tria?
If so, then, take this.
Hello Diablo, sir.
[LUMACHINA] We are ready for you
to grant us God's judgment.
[TAKUMA]
Oh, crap, that's right.
I did say something random about
passing God's judgment
on them and whatnot.
Idiot! I'll just have to find
some way out of this!
[DIABLO laughs]
Looks like you've finally
come to your senses!
At least this time,
you managed not to lose sight of
the God you really
should've been praying to!
Now, notice that emotion
swirling around in your heart?
Remember it!
That is what
true faith feels like!
[TAKUMA]
Hope that wasn't too big of
a cheesy stretch for them.
He's right. I feel it.
I can feel the
strength and warmth
of God's love all over me.
[BELIEVER 10A]
Thank you, God!
[BELIEVER 10A]
I'm forever grateful to you!
[BELIEVER 10B]
Our faith will never waver!
Wow. Lumachina's so great!
[TAKUMA gasps]
They totally bought it!
[DIABLO]
Hmph. All right, then.
I hope you've learned enough
not to repeat the same mistake.
But if you should fail again,
I'll be back to burn you
with crimson and hellfire!
Right. Thank you, Diablo.
Crap. I'm done.
Magic is tapped out.
I think I'm falling.
Yep, here goes.
So wait. Mister Diablo's God?
Uh, how 'bout 'no'?
[gasps] I think he fell.
[gasps] Lumachina, is that you?
It is! You're safe, Tria!
I've missed you!
[LUMACHINA] Thank you for
all your help last night,
every one of you.
I know it isn't much,
but I wanted to at least
show you my appreciation.
--Shiny!
--For real?
Wait, are you sure?
[LUMACHINA]
Positive.
Allow me to help with
your travel expenses.
Thank you.
Tell me. How's Rose doing?
No need to worry.
She's fast asleep.
[LUMACHINA]
That's good to hear.
Go home. There's no need
for you to be here, right?
Wrong. The church
has a great deal of trust
to regain from the people here.
The Cardinals and Paladins
need to atone for their sins
and make things right
with the members, too.
[TAKUMA] She wants them to atone
for mishaps within the church?
Doesn't church cancel that out?
I'm still investigating.
Vishos and the others must've
had financial backing.
It's the only way they could've
gotten away with this.
What's more, there's also
the matter of that monster.
Where did it come from?
Yeah, I'm pretty curious
about that, too.
According to Rem's report,
Gewalt made sure to silence
Vishos' men permanently.
Which can only mean
Whoever hired him is suspect.
Good call.
I thought the only thing
you knew much about
was your religious stuff.
Well. I've still got
a lot to learn.
I need to become
a better protector.
[TAKUMA] She's grown so much
stronger since we first met.
It's not just prayer.
Many hardships will
fall upon the church.
I need the faithful.
No, I need people I can rely on.
[LUMACHINA]
Diablo, sir. Would you
Would it be possible for you to
stay and remain with the church?
Stay and be Head Paladin?
[gasps]
[DIABLO laughs]
Diablo in church?
Are you sure?
Paladin?
What are you thinking?
Would you want to?
Tria approves.
I'm sure the other
Paladins will as well.
[LUMACHINA] Please. We could
use a power like yours.
[TAKUMA] Shut up. A Demon Lord
can't be a Paladin.
More than that,
I'd have to work with others
and I hate group activities!
Ahem. Look, Lumachina,
I understand you need
help right now.
But I am not the one.
[gasps]
[LUMACHINA]
I know you're right.
Your power is far too great.
I don't know
what I was thinking.
If I were to rely on you,
I'd be just like Vishos.
Using force to make
believers follow me.
Is that what you're saying?
Indeed.
[TAKUMA] Uh, no,
it's because I hate talking
in front of large crowds
like I had to do yesterday!
You've helped me work harder.
Thank you. I'm so grateful.
Well. That's great.
Tell me something.
Would you confirm
that you believe in me?
[LUMACHINA]
Of course I do.
All right then.
What if I told you
that I'm not God?
[LUMACHINA]
If you were speaking your truth,
then I would believe you.
Because I believe in you.
And it has nothing to do
with titles or positions.
It's a feeling.
I believe in the heart
and soul I've come to know.
That's who I see now
instead of a God.
I see.
[DIABLO sighs] Nothing like a
bath after completing a quest!
Only one thing
could make it better.
If an item were to drop or I
scored a level up right now.
[SHERA]
Diablo?
Yeah? What's up, Shera?
I just knew I'd
find you in the bath!
Then why are we here?
[DIABLO]
Is there something wrong?
Sorry to bother you. We um
We just weren't sure
where you ran off to.
These baths are phenomenal.
You should take one
if you have time.
[SHERA]
Really? You don't mind?
[REM] It's like you're
trying to look desperate.
[DIABLO]
No need to be shy, come on.
--[REM] What? Why?
--[SHERA] All right!
Let the maids know
what you need.
They'll bring hot water
to your rooms
if you'd rather bathe in there.
[SHERA]
Hurry, Rem!
[REM]
Shut up!
[SHERA] It's bath time!
It's bath time!
[SHERA] Bath time's always
so much fun with Diablo!
Um, yeah, This is
so awkward, guys.
[SHERA sighs]
You weren't kidding,
this feels great, Diablo!
What the? Um, something's
pushing my leg,
and it's not your hand.
Oh that's my foot!
I thought I was pushing Diablo!
No, I think she means me.
Good times.
Could you move more
toward the center?
It's hard to breathe in here.
[SHERA gasps] Careful!
You pushed him towards me!
He's gonna get stuck.
You just pushed him into me!
And um. Now he's too close!
[SHERA]
Well then, maybe.
Maybe we should
push into him instead.
That way there are no surprises.
Would that be okay
with you? Cause if not,
just ignore the elf
and her dumb ideas.
[TAKUMA] I'm in love with
whoever invented other worlds!
[SHERA]
You okay, Rem?
I thought you didn't feel
comfortable around carriages.
[REM]
I didn't. But I figured it out.
As long as I'm holding the
reins, my stomach stays chill.
[SHERA chuckles]
Are you positive?
You'll eventually have
your normal arm back?
After some time.
I'm equipped with
self-repair functions.
They can activate as
long as I'm by your side.
Would that be okay
with you, Master?
Of course! Please stay!
I'd love it!
I wouldn't mind if you
traveled with me forever.
[gasps] These kind words are
much more than I deserve!
I'll engrave them in my memory
and play them on
an infinite loop!
Please. Infinite loops
should be banned.
Can you believe how much
we experienced?
We were supposed to just
escort Lumachina home
to cast a spell, remember?
[REM] Yeah, I know.
And then stupid Battuta
showed up and almost killed us.
[SHERA] That curry was
the best I'd ever had!
[REM] Then we joined the battle
against the Demon Lord's Army.
[SHERA] The celebration feast we
had was delicious, wasn't it?
[REM] After that, we were
captured by church members
and forced to battle Vishos.
[SHERA] I can't get over how
good the food was at that inn!
I think my breasts may have
filled out a little more.
Why do you make everything
about your boobs?
We could talk about yours
if it'll make you feel better?
They're really small.
That's weird for
Pantherians, right?
[REM] I'm glad you're so proud
of your chest-fat, dumb elf!
[SHERA]
Hey!
[ROSE] By the way, Master,
should you have let her go?
You'd only just
secured her as a servant.
Yeah. It's what's right.
[HORN] Um, I was thinking.
What if I stayed here?
I want to go to school and
learn how to perform magic!
I I want to become a
Sorcerer just like you, sir!
Well, obviously I'll never be as
great as you, but still. Maybe.
You should do what pleases you.
[HORN gasps] Wow! I promise
I'll make you proud!
I'm a little surprised.
Horn is a Thief of high-level.
Learning magic from
scratch could be
a huge waste of time for her.
I thought you'd be against it.
[DIABLO] I know it
would be ineffective,
but that's exactly
the struggle she craves.
So I'll let her struggle.
Thank you so much!
You're the greatest!
Yay! Personal growth rules!
[TAKUMA]
I always hated being shot down.
I'm glad I don't have
to discourage anyone
who wants to take
a different path.
[SHERA gasps]
Look! It's Faltra City!
[REM]
We made it! We're home!
[KLEM] Wow! Look at all that
sweet, fancy, deliciousness!
Nice change of pace, yes?
Mortal food is expensive.
We can't afford to pay for it.
All the money's gone.
See? All gone.
[chuckles] I'm happy to take
care of today's lunch, okay?
Really? You truly are the best!
In that case,
bring out the cookies!
I want every single one of them!
[SYLVIE]
Hmm. You seriously don't see it?
It's so obvious, none of
these expenses add up.
How could I have
been so careless? Ahh!
I'm supposed to be
protecting all women!
That's it!
I'm Emile Bichelberger!
I alone will fix the
Guild's wrecked finances!
[SYLVIE]
Well isn't that cute?
But not how it works.
Just try not being lazy.
[SYLVIE] That goes for
you three as well!
[LAMINITUS]
Ah. So he pulled it off?
That's as expected of Diablo.
So, where is he now?
Oh! We have received word
that he's already
returned to Faltra.
[LAMINITUS]
Really? Here in the city?
Perhaps I'll welcome him
home with a stiff drink.
I hope he's matured.
That runaway game
was so ridiculous.
[HORN]
Ta-da! What do you think?
Does it look good?
Why yes, It looks lovely
on you, dear Horn.
[ALICIA] You know, I think now
would be the perfect time
to start your elegance
and refinement training.
How to be a lady. One who is
worthy of a duke's
recommendation.
[BOTH]
What? Why?
[TRIA] The repairs are
coming along quite steadily
thanks to the cooperation of
our most faithful members.
I'm delighted to hear that.
I'm sure God is, too.
Excellent work, everyone.
I wonder if you
made it home safely.
I miss you, Diablo.
[door opens]
Welcome! [gasps]
Hey, welcome back! Meow!
[DIABLO]
Huh? What are you talking about?
You gave it to me!
How could anyone forget
such a beautiful ring?
Why would I give that to you?
[SHERA] Because you
wanted to be with me?
[TAKUMA]
That's right!
It's in the dungeon's
treasure vault!
The item you have discovered
is an authentic engagement ring.
I knew it!
I promise to make you
eternally happy, Diablo!
[REM]
Um. Hi?
Please don't mess this part up.
You're supposed to have
two rings, remember?
Or you'll look like a douche.
Try again. I'll wait.
[TAKUMA]
What the french-toast?
Where'd you put it?
You have one for me, right?
[TAKUMA]
Nope! But I can't say that!
There's only one!
And I obtained it as
a reward through a quest!
Oh, that's okay! I already
talked to Sylvie about
giving us a quest
for another ring!
[gasps] So you're not being
a monopolizing troll?
I have way more fun
when I can be with
you and Diablo! Right?
[DIABLO] Agreed. I was
just hoping I had time
to conduct some
magic experiments.
Heh. But screw that!
Let's accept a new quest!
Okay!
I'm ready when you are!
If that is what
you desire, Master.
[DIABLO] Then let's go!
Stay close and don't wonder off!
[REM, SHERA, ROSE]
'Kay!
