[theme music]
[Ironside] Your embrace that is a wedge,
and your kiss that is a chain.
I offer you the blood and souls
of these children of mankind
to seal away those beings once again.
[voice echoing]
[frizzling]
Now, arise, creatures of chaos.
Use this city's inhabitants as sacrifices
and pour their blood
into the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.
[voice echoing]
[dark ominous music]
THE NAME OF THE MAGIC
- [splatters]
- [indistinct chatter]
[suspenseful music]
[loud rumbling]
[residents exclaim]
- [monster screeching]
- [woman whimpering]
[growls]
- A A monster!
- [all screaming]
[splattering]
- [rumbling]
- [monster snarls]
- [growling]
- [residents clamoring]
[snarling]
[Ironside] Darak,
I leave command
of the creatures of chaos to you.
Yes, sir.
[Ironside]
Sacrifice every last one of them.
[distant rumbling]
There are so many!
Is this what Sin was talking about
when he said
something terrible might happen?
[Nasiens] He intends to use those monsters
to offer up the people as sacrifices.
[worried gasp]
- [Percival] Don't worry.
- Huh?
I have faith
that Sin is gonna do something about that.
We need to focus on stopping Ironside
as soon as we can.
[grunts]
I'm not sure why,
but that fox is hiding something.
Having the power to see through lies,
I can tell.
[Anne] Are you still going to trust
what that strange thing says?
Of course I will!
[hesitated groan]
Well, he's always been kinda shady,
so we've gotten used to it at this point.
I trust him if Percival does
[sighs]
Sounds like
you're a bunch of gullible fools.
Very well then. Let's hurry.
[all panting]
[surprised gasp]
- [Anne] Father!
- [hurried footsteps approaching]
Oh, Father, are you all right?
[grunts]
Don't worry.
He's just been knocked unconscious.
[both grunt]
[tense music]
[Ironside]
Percival, what brings you here, child?
Any other time,
I would crush the life out of you,
but tonight,
I must attend to other matters.
Stop the ritual right now!
[Ironside] Stop the ritual?
How dare you speak to me like that!
[both gasp]
Th-This guy's power is ridiculous.
He makes Talisker look like a joke!
It's unbelievable.
His back is to us, but his guard is up.
Even so, we have to do whatever we can.
[Anne] But I'm so terrified
that my body won't move
no matter how hard I try.
And I have a feeling
that man won't hesitate for even a second
to kill all of us.
[grunts]
I said stop!
[fierce grunt]
[loud thud]
[gasps]
[Ironside] How completely undisciplined.
Seriously?
He stopped the attack
that Percy used on Talisker!
[Ironside] I find it hard to believe,
but are you truly planning to fight me?
[annoyed groan]
Percival!
Don't forget what we're really doing here!
I won't!
[mini Percivals grunting]
[mini Percivals chittering]
[worried groan]
It didn't work!
[Ironside] So you are after
the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.
Naturally, you must be aware
of our purpose as well.
Yeah, right!
Like I'd ever answer someone like you!
[angry grunt]
Everyone, jump!
- [rumbling]
- [Donny whimpers]
[soft grunt]
Whoa.
This is what his magic can do?
If we get hit even once, it's over for us.
[terrified gasp]
[Ironside] How completely undisciplined.
Don't make me repeat myself.
Is this how you speak to your father?
Did he say fa father?
Yeah, that's right.
Percival is Ironside's son,
and apparently,
he's also the one who killed his grandpa.
[gasps]
But anyway, we gotta get out of here.
He's too dangerous!
And he won't go easy on us
just 'cause we're kids!
You wanna back out now?
What about the innocent people in trouble?
That's not our problem to deal with.
We don't have anything to do
with this damn city!
You're so unbelievable!
- [Anne] He's right.
- [gasps]
This problem concerns my city.
It's my responsibility to handle it.
[soft grunt]
I won't run away.
The need to protect your home is strong.
I know the feeling well.
[hesitated grunt]
Agh! Good luck with that!
[grunts, panting]
[shouts]
'Cause I, for one, wanna stay alive!
[Donny] If I die If I die,
everything will be over!
If you don't stop the ritual right now,
I'll smash the Coffin of Eternal Darkness!
[Ironside] Complete and utter nonsense.
[rumbling]
Okay, guys, I'm gonna focus
on restricting his movements.
- When I do, break that thing!
- [intense music]
[clanks]
[soft grunt]
[grunting]
[Ironside] Restrict my movements,
you said?
[grunts]
[fierce grunt]
- [clanks]
- [Percival groans]
[grunts, groans]
[Ironside]
Varghese must have taught you that move.
He certainly trained you well.
[groans]
I imagine you can gut a motionless bird
on the cutting board quite skillfully.
- [clanks]
- [Anne grunts]
[intense music continues]
First you murdered
your own father in cold blood,
now you're trying to kill your son?
Shame on you!
A Anne
[Ironside]
You think yourself a Holy Knight?
I disapprove of such a notion, girl.
- [Anne] I don't need your approval!
- [groans]
- [swords clanking]
- [soft gasp]
[Anne] I will become a Holy Knight.
I'll protect my father and this city!
The same way my mother did before me!
No matter our gender,
we all want to protect
those who are dear to us!
[gasps]
[swords clanking]
[worried breath]
- [clanks]
- [grunts]
[Anne grunts]
[Ironside] Can you still fight
when your appearance is in that state?
[gasps]
[worried gasp]
You think I can't fight
if my clothes are a bit revealing?
It's gonna take a lot more than that!
[Percival] Anne
[Anne] I'm only repaying my debt to you.
You're so cool!
Uh Well, thank you.
[Ironside] Interesting.
Not only are you skilled with swords,
but you're courageous.
It's truly a shame you're a woman.
Even though it was just a scratch,
you actually managed to land a blow on me.
[nervous grunt]
- [heartbeat]
- [groaning]
[tense music]
[Ironside] My body is going numb
What have you done, little girl?
[gasps]
[Nasiens] I apologize, Anghalhad.
I imbued your sword
with a paralysis-causing enchantment.
VENOM MIXING ENCHANTMEN
"HENBANE"
[delighted breath]
- Way to go, Nasiens!
- [gasps]
[sheepish breath]
[Ironside] These insolent children
are also completely undisciplined.
Are you brats so eager to witness despair?
[all grunt nervously]
[Ironside] Then I'll give you
a demonstration firsthand!
[chiming]
[all gasping]
[worried gasp]
We're in trouble!
Anne!
[grunts]
Father!
[Ironside] Belfest Margot.
PYRE BEFORE THE SILENCE
- [chiming]
- [all whimper]
- [blasts]
- [yelps]
[groans]
[groans]
[loud blast]
[explosion]
[residents screaming frantically]
[explosions]
[panting]
[frightened exclaim]
Mama, I'm hungry.
Damn it,
I have to get out of this wretched city
as fast as I can!
- [monster groaning]
- [whimpers]
[monster] Mama?
- [panting]
- [monsters growling]
[explosion]
- [child] No!
- [gasps]
[nervous breath]
I'm scared! I don't wanna die!
It's okay, hon. It's gonna be all right.
[mother whimpers]
- [child] Somebody, please help us!
- [mother whimpers, crying]
Oh, come on.
Isn't anyone gonna lend them a hand?
[child] Help!
[crying]
[angry groan]
[angry grunting]
[Donny] Tell me, Uncle.
What the hell should I do?
[Anne gasps]
[Anne] Father?
Stay with me! Why were you so reckless?
[groans]
Because it's a parent's duty
to protect their child.
[gasps]
Your wound.
These are little Percivals
You summoned these guys to help him?
[Nasiens coughing]
Nasiens!
Are you all right?
Don't worry about me.
Anyway, where's Percival?
[gasping]
[Percival groaning]
- [tense sting]
- Percival!
[Ironside] The way you managed
to protect your friends
from my magic was impressive.
It's plain to see
that you'll become quite the nuisance
if you're allowed
to keep growing like this.
[in strained voice]
Answer me, Ironside!
Why in the world did you show up that day
and kill my grandpa?
[Ironside] Given the possibility
that he might be
one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse,
it was the logical choice to make.
That's why? You killed Grandpa
because of some prophecy?
[Ironside] That insufferable bastard
stole something precious from me
and absconded from the kingdom!
For that alone, he deserved to die!
[coughs]
[fierce scream]
- [whooshes]
- [clanks]
[groaning]
- Hit the Coffin! Now!
- [gasps]
[groans]
Just stop the ritual, you bastard.
[Percival screaming]
- [flesh squelching]
- [screaming continues]
- [Percival groaning in pain]
- [tense music]
[Ironside]
That's no way to speak to your father.
[groans]
Percival!
That's enough.
[Anne] Stop this.
How could you hurt your own child?
[Ironside] Be silent, little girl!
[Anne gasps]
[Ironside] Interfere again
and I'll break more than just your sword.
- [tense sting]
- [terrified gasp]
[Anne breathing shakily]
[grunts, groaning]
[Ironside] This night is a fortuitous one.
[groaning]
Stop this madness!
He'll kill him!
[Ironside]
Once this ritual is finally completed,
our immediate obstacle,
the Kingdom of Liones,
will surely fall to ruin.
And by dealing with you,
the Four Knights of the Apocalypse
will never gather in one place.
[tense music continues]
[mini Percivals] Heal, heal, heal, heal.
[bones cracking]
[Ironside]
What an absurd ability you possess
The kind of magic
befitting a useless failure.
[Percival breathing weakly, shakily]
[shouts]
Let him go!
[squelches]
[coughs]
Grand pa
[silence]
I I couldn't
I couldn't do anything.
How cruel. It can't be
[Ironside] Whatever magic he possessed
has completely vanished.
Which means I've eliminated
one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse
from that abominable prophecy.
All that remains is to complete the ritual
of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness
without any disturbance.
Now, creatures of chaos,
I command you,
slaughter all the inhabitants of Sistana!
[screams]
[Nasiens grunting]
[Nasiens panting]
[Nasiens sobbing]
[Ironside] It's over.
Go home now, children.
[sobbing continues]
Please, you have to wake up!
Oh, right!
Ah. Mm.
It's okay. We still have
the medicine you helped complete.
Now, drink this!
I'm sure it will make you better.
[sniffles]
Just drink.
I beg you.
- Move aside!
- [soft gasp]
[Anne breathes shakily]
[Anne] Why?
Why won't he drink it?
[sobbing]
[Anne] How cruel
He's Percival's father,
yet he murdered his own son.
[Ironside] Creatures of chaos,
bring forth the sacrifices
as quickly as possible.
Provide your offerings
and stoke the fires of hell
that shall decimate Liones.
[blabbering]
[surprised grunt]
Look. That boy over there
made the monster float so high.
[Donny] Listen up, folks!
I'll take care of things
before that creature touches the ground!
Until then, hang tight!
He must be a Holy Knight
who's come to save us.
- [mother] I know he'll protect the city.
- [Donny panting]
- [thrilling music]
- What on earth am I doing right now?
Fine. You wanna be heroes?
Well, I'm on my way. Just you wait!
[Donny] Even if I want to escape,
there are monsters everywhere.
And I wouldn't be able
to face those guys again.
But still,
that Ironside jerk is too dangerous.
If I go back out there without thinking
then he might actually kill me.
Gah! Just suck it up
and find some courage, Donny!
There's no need to force
a head-on fight with him anyway.
The Coffin's what matters!
You just have to get the Coffin.
[panting]
But I don't see things ending well.
[music stops]
Still though
I suppose things will work out
if we've got him around.
[pops, chimes]
[Nasiens exclaims]
Huh?
A mini Percival?
[Nasiens] But how? I mean, he clearly
[Ironside] What?
Did his magic return
even though it's diminished?
Impossible. I was positive
that I crushed the life out of him.
- [Ironside] No matter
- [both gasp]
I'll finish the job.
[blasts]
[Anne yelps]
[Nasiens groans]
[breathing heavily]
[Ironside] Hmm
It would appear
that the poison you slipped into my system
has reduced the accuracy of my magic
by a significant degree.
Listen, boy.
If your life holds any value to you,
do me a favor and step aside.
I refuse to obey.
[Ironside] Have it your way then.
- [blasts]
- [Nasiens groans]
There's no way
I can let you die like this.
I haven't even had a chance
to repay my debt to you at all yet!
[pops, chimes]
[Anne] That's right!
I haven't apologized to you yet either.
I said you must be a scoundrel
just like your father.
- [sword whooshes]
- [swords clanking]
[Anne] But that's not true.
You're a wonderful boy!
[pops, chimes]
I'd never met anyone in my life
who had no lies or secrets
until I met you!
[pops, chimes]
From the moment you took my hand
and helped me escape,
it felt like something was beginning!
[popping, chiming]
[Nasiens] Percival, you trusted me
since the moment we met.
You saved the gorge and Ordo.
More than that, you saved my heart
from being crushed by loneliness.
Because you're
My guinea pig.
[Nasiens] My guinea pig.
my greatest hero.
[chiming]
Huh?
[popping, chiming]
- [clanks]
- [groans]
[gasps]
[Ironside] Next time,
it won't just be your hair.
I'll cut off your hands, feet,
and lastly, your head.
I'd rather die with no limbs
than surrender to scum like you!
[popping, chiming]
[Ironside] Hmm?
What's this?
His magic is getting
stronger and stronger.
- [Donny laughs]
- [Anne and Nasiens] Huh?
[Donny] Sorry for making you guys wait!
[strained grunt]
[grunts]
"Destroy the wicked and lend the weak aid.
And above all else,
defend that which is dearest to you
with your very life."
Holy Knight of justice, Sir Donny,
reporting for duty!
Just kidding.
What's his deal?
Hold on. Why did you come back here?
Well, what other reason would I have?
[scoffs]
I'm here to help out Percival, of course!
[both gasp]
[Donny] So, where's the kid in question?
Huh?
[panicked exclaiming]
What in the world is happening?
I have no idea. Uh?
[groans]
[soft gasp]
[Ironside] Hmm
- Enough!
- [sword clatters]
Ragna Claw!
[blasts]
[rumbling]
[whimpering]
[loud rumbling]
[grunts]
Anne!
[Kalden] Anne! Where are you?
[all gasp]
[Ironside] He's far too dangerous.
I must thoroughly end him here.
[calm music]
While I was in the darkness,
I heard everyone calling me,
and then I realized
This magic may belong to me,
but it's not my magic alone.
The strength I have inside
comes from the faith and care
everyone has for me!
[Varghese]
It's time for you to find them now.
In your travels,
you'll find those you can trust
and journey through life together.
[Percival] I found them, Grandpa.
[all exclaim delightedly]
[Ironside] So then, this is your
[Percival] That's right.
This is my magic.
[bright dramatic music]
[Varghese] Percival, my dearest grandson.
My
Hope!
