Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra: World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin (2025) s01e05 Episode Script
I'm the Monster You've Been Looking For
1
So these are the Accursed Lands and the
Cursed Sea of Trees that bars all life?
Let's go.
Yes.
A young girl?
Stop right there, girl!
Who are you?!
I'm a Dark Elf who fled into
these woods to survive.
Our business is with this forest.
You won't mind us entering, will you?
You mustn't do that.
I ask that you please refrain.
We're leaving.
What do you think you're doing?!
She said they just want to live in peace.
So there's no problem here.
There's no problem here.
That's the result of our investigation.
Henceforth, I shall be taking command!
We will now enter the Accursed Lands
and conduct our investigation!
To ascertain the truth of this calamity!
As you say, boss.
Stop it! Bargo!
I guess it failed.
What happened?
It's a Witch!
We found a damn Witch!
And here everything was going so well, too.
Life doesn't always go your way, does it?
It really doesn't.
I'm the Monster You've Been Looking For
Bargo!
I don't care who does it, just get
a runner back home!
They have to know about this!
Sorry, buddy.
She just took out our
messengers with that attack.
Come on. I'm the monster
you've been looking for.
The calamity you were searching
for has appeared before you.
Sir Verdel!
Don't lose your nerve now!
We have no choice but to fight at this point!
Everyone, combat formation!
Ready your weapons!
We will now eliminate the calamity!
Yeah!
Oh? You're attacking me?
Fire!
No mercy!
That's good!
I like this!
Love it, in fact!
Impossible!
Dammit!
This is horrible!
And everything nearly went so well!
I'm completely in agreement.
I also regret that it's come to this.
Though it's all the fault of that fool
who brandished his silly piety
and tried to pry where he shouldn't.
Sir Verdel, what exactly is a Witch?
I was ordered to keep it strictly
confidential by the higher-ups,
but I guess I should have told you.
When the saint receives a revelation
and the upper ranks confirm it,
that monster is designated as
a calamity and called a Witch.
The commotion up north was
caused by a Witch too!
This woman is likely that very same thing!
Do you understand how dangerous
the situation we're in is now?!
Yes!
All done?
All finished chatting?
Mercenaries, fall back!
We'll face her!
Follow my lead, Lonius!
O God! Grant me the power
to strike down evil!
So slow. Weak, too.
Nah, that ain't necessarily the case!
First, we'll deal with those
disgusting tentacles!
We're cutting them all off!
Yes!
Using a god's blessing to
deliver a divine strike?
The effect is a special attack bonus
against evil-aligned entities, I'd say.
This is the problem with units
from a good civilization.
Just three more!
Why, you!
Well done!
What?!
Shit!
Dammit!
Sir Verdel!
Pardon me.
I was taking you Paladins a bit too lightly.
You've proven stronger than expected.
However, how is this for you?
Can you strike now?
You can't, can you?
This is why I love humans.
You care for each other so much
that you make perfect shields!
S-Save me!
You fiend!
Restrain yourself, Lonius!
Just two more.
Cut off two more, and we win.
But then—
If we defeat that fiend, then
we'll purge the calamity.
There won't be any harm to our homeland.
Think of the bigger picture right now!
I understand.
What?! Why are you attacking?!
The hostages too?!
I'm sorry, but—
This is—
Huh?
Run!
Run, Loni—!
S-Sir Verdel?!
How?
We cut all the tentacles!
Did I ever say I only had six?
I can replace these as much as I want.
Wha?!
She was toying with us
from the very start?
Now then
Run!
Huh?
Have everyone scatter and
run in different directions!
At least one person must survive
to warn our homeland about this!
You just had to do that.
How are you
Able to use Holy Sword Artes, you ask?
I stole them.
From that man there.
Stole them?
Yes.
All the diligent effort he put in,
all the techniques he honed,
became mine the moment I killed him!
The skill behind this technique!
It seems Paladin Verdel
was a man worthy of being
called a powerful fighter.
Though he died from your shortsightedness!
So your wife's name is Marsha,
and Mina's your daughter?
How do you know that?! Did you also
Yes, I stole it!
His feelings, his memories, everything!
I-Impossible!
Skills, memories
She steals everything from those she kills?
So that means she only gets
stronger the more she kills?!
"If I die here, what will happen
to Lonius and his family?"
"The mercenaries, and even myself, all
have people waiting for our return!"
How heroic.
No wonder he was a High Paladin.
He was concerned for all of your
safety until his final moment.
So what are you feeling after
hearing that, Paladin Lonius?!
H-His will still lives on!
While I'm keeping you in check here,
the mercenaries can escape!
What?!
Oh, that's the Dark Elves.
I ordered them to not let a single man escape.
Huh?
Did I ever say that I was alone?
Why don't we talk about a
future that could have been?
This is what would have happened if
you had listened to Paladin Verdel:
You would have returned home safely
and been reunited with your beloved family.
You would have enjoyed the peaceful
happiness of an ordinary life,
and continued offering your
prayers of gratitude to your god.
Meanwhile, we would have been
blessed with peace as well.
The forest would have remained tranquil,
and I would have gone to bed
hoping that could last forever.
Now, let's talk about the
future you have chosen.
You will die.
Then your family will die too.
I'll hunt them down and kill them.
I'll torment them, and torment them,
and torment them, until they plead
for death. Only then will I kill them.
After that, I'll go to every village and
town you all stopped at on your way here,
and I'll kill everyone living there.
There won't be much point or meaning to that,
but I might as well kill them.
When they ask me why,
I'll tell them it was because
of your foolish actions,
then I'll kill them.
Stop!
When people disregard you, you're finished.
So be sure to kill them when they do.
That's what I was taught
by someone precious to me.
So I'm killing them.
I'll kill them without exception,
to make sure none ever look down on me,
no matter how many hundreds, thousands,
or millions that number has to climb to.
This is what you have chosen.
S-Stop!
Stop it, please!
I'm sure you were a good person!
You believed in your god,
devoted yourself to your nation,
and loved your family!
How commendable!
But this is why I hate those
who believe they are just.
Farewell, Paladin Lonius.
Please watch from your VIP seat in heaven.
Watch as those dear to you and all those
innocent bystanders suffer atrocious deaths.
Lady Atou.
Yes, Gia?
We finished off everyone as you ordered.
I'm sure our king will be
delighted to hear that as well.
I'm heading back, then.
You're in charge of disposing of the corpses.
Umm
What is it?
Are you actually going to carry
out what you just said to him?
Hmm?
Oh, come on!
There's no way I'm doing all that!
Huh?
I'm a pacifist.
I was just messing around!
Just messing with him!
Pacifist?
Oh, shoot!
I don't have time to waste here.
I need to hurry back to our king!
Is there something concerning you?
Yes.
There's something I need
to tell our king at once.
Witches
There wasn't a unit like that
in Eternal Nations, was there?
There wasn't.
It would seem this world definitely
isn't the world of the game.
I see.
I thought that might be the case,
but I guess we really have
come to another world.
The game's mechanics have
been applicable to an extent,
but we should operate under the assumption
that the world functions differently.
That's troublesome.
However, there are also good aspects
to it being different from the game.
You're referring to your ability?
Yes.
The special ability Atou
possessed in the game
granted her a set chance
to steal a defeated unit's ability.
But
I'm able to steal my defeated opponents'
memories to some degree as well.
This will prove a great
weapon in our arsenal.
Right. Thanks to that, we've learned
about the situation in Qualia
without sending anyone to investigate.
Yes.
It's fortunate for us that Qualia
doesn't have the forces to spare
thanks to the disaster in the place
they call the Northern Province.
Good. We can take it easy for a while, then.
I think they're likely to take some kind
of action after we wiped them out, though.
They don't have any information on us.
So even if they do act, they'll
have to do so with caution.
What concerns me more is
the cause of that disaster.
The Northern Disturbance
It was caused by a Witch, right?
Yes. According to the memories I stole.
Do you know anything else?
Unfortunately, not much.
It seems even Qualia doesn't
know much about the Witch.
What they do know
is that she's caused damage on par with
armies to the cities of the Northern Province,
and what she's called.
Let me hear it.
Apparently she's called
"Erakino, the Slurping Witch."
Click, clack, click, clack.
Rattle, roll, rattle, roll.
The gods never roll the dice.
Dreams and hope are nowhere to be found.
Life is all just killing time.
All right then, we're off to the next city!
All my simps, come on!
Atou,
that Northern Disturbance
occurred recently, right?
Yes.
So a monster showed up
that's capable of causing damage on
par with armies in such a short time?
Maybe it's possible they came
to this world much like we did?
Either way, it's clear that they have
someone with the strength of Hero units.
This is a troublesome turn of events.
What shall we do about it?
Judging by their actions, I believe
they're also evil-aligned,
but would you like to try
reaching out to them?
I don't think we should do that.
We'll never get along anyway.
Not when we're both evil.
That's true.
Everything was going so well, too.
Why do we have to deal with
one problem after another?
Well, it's happening in the distant north.
The fact that we have time to deal
with it is a blessing, at least.
Yes.
Atou, now that we know they have
combat strength equal to a Hero unit,
there's one thing we have to do.
Produce a new Hero, right?
Exactly.
I was planning on producing Isla,
but maybe I should reconsider that now.
Maybe it would be better to
focus on combat potential.
Good point.
It'll still take a bit more time to gather
the necessary mana to produce a Hero.
I'll lend what little help
I can too, King Takuto!
Thanks, Atou.
Though Isla's not the only
thing I need to reconsider.
Meaning?
I'm thinking of altering
our policies a little.
Our policies?
Let's forge an alliance.
Huh?!
We have a clear enemy in Qualia.
Plus we have the uncertain
element of the Witch.
So I want to have another nation on our side.
I understand your reasoning,
but is that possible?
We're evil-aligned, you know.
It's possible if there's
value for the other nation.
Of course, that will only work
with a neutral-aligned nation.
A neutral-aligned
You mean the nation to our east?
Yeah!
Once the Palace is complete,
I want to investigate that nation
while strengthening our forces.
We need to find out if they're
willing to join forces with us.
That's a Staff Holder for you!
She defeated so many barbarians so easily!
Quit putting your elders on a pedestal!
Hurry up and clear away the
dead before you celebrate!
Yes!
W-What's that?!
Umm
Wha?!
You're kidding, right?
I've never seen numbers like that!
Quit gawking at them!
Ready your arms!
Also, messengers!
Go call for reinforcements!
Yes!
What is happening here?
Umm, King Takuto?
Hmm? What is it?
Umm, well, see
Hmm?
I figured I might have soured your mood.
Hmm?
W-Well, you know!
Umm, I might have gone just a little
too far against those Paladins
What about it?
Huh?
Hmm?
It's all right.
I would never be offended
by anything you did, Atou.
I really rely on you a lot, Atou,
so please don't worry about that.
Just continue supporting me.
King Takuto!
Of course!
I'll support you with every
fiber of my being, King Takuto!
Now, give me any command you please!
Go on!
Event Chain "Advent of the Apocalypse" has begun.
So these are the Accursed Lands and the
Cursed Sea of Trees that bars all life?
