MISSION 1: THE IMMORTAL BLACK BIRD
[dramatic music playing]
Wh… But why?
[high-pitched whine]
That's not her original blade.
That's…
the Thousand Demon Dagger.
[wind whispering]
[tinkling]
[gasping softly]
[tinkling increases in tempo, stops]
Did you really think that you were going to kill me with one slash?
-I'm not interested in you right now. -[grunting]
Although maybe I could use you.
Why don't we see what the real elite assassin can do.

SCISSOR SEVEN SHADOW DESTINY
[wind blowing, leaves rustling]
He's fighting for another girl again.
I'm not happy about it.
[eerie atmospheric music playing]
[grunting, cracking]
[dramatic music playing]
Your ambushes aren't as fast as they say.
[smirks]
[Seven grunts]
[Black Bird laughing evilly]
[Black Bird grunts and growls]
Your death will be quick, I promise you.
If he can't fly,
then how is he going to get himself out of this?
[dramatic music continues]
[dramatic stinger]
[tinkling]
DEMON BLADE SLASH
[gasps]
[tinkling]
[groans]
[laughing evilly]
[Black Bird grunts]
It's impossible to kill me.
[laughing]
[Young Black Bird] Master, my body seems to be possessed by something.
I don't think I can feel any pain.
MARTIAL ARTS HALL
[master] When you master the skill,
you'll be an undead bird in the darkness.

[master] Don't be afraid.
After you master the skill,
you'll become an incredible fighter in the dark.
[Young Black Bird] But why must I fight in the dark?
[master] The rise of a strong faction
always requires a strong fighter.
A fighter who can provide protection against all opponents, even in darkness.
For our Flying Bird Sect,
you're going to be our hero in the dark.
[poignant piano music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
[crackling]
[Thirteen] Legend says
Black Bird can transform entirely into a black devil.
[Black Bird grunts]
[exclaims]
[Black Bird grunts]
[grunting and moaning]
[distorted glitching]
[Black Bird] Why did you kill all of my disciples?
[White Bird] We're already one of the six major factions.
People found out about what you did,
so I had to kill all of them.
I couldn't let all of your dirty deeds
ruin the reputation of the Flying Bird Sect.
[Black Bird chuckles] Dirty deeds?
[yelling] Without the "dirty deeds" of The Black Birds,
would the White Birds hold the same achievements and honors they have now?
The Black Birds are the only heroes in the dark!
-[Black Bird grunts] -[cracks]
[yelling] The Black Birds are the only heroes in the dark!
[Black Bird laughing]
[battle cry]
[Seven inhales weakly]
[wind whispering]
[squelching]
[metallic clang]
[squelching]
[melancholy music playing]
[White Bird] You're not immortal, you know.
You simply just can't feel pain.
I could never be defeated by you.
Master said the White Birds are just a façade,
and we Black Birds are far superior.
[exhales]
Master told me that if we are at odds,
should that day come, that I must kill you
and defend the White Birds.
I swore on it when he transferred his power to me
because people don’t like darkness.
If the Flying Bird Sect will advance, it must rely on the White Birds.
[weakly] Everything is a lie.
[melancholy music continues]
[thud]
[Manjusaka] What a shame…
to ruin a once-handsome face.
You should at least look nice at the curtain call.
You defeated Black Bird
and with so many wounds from the Dark Frost Blade. How formidable.
And now it seems
it's all up to me
to finish off my crush after all.
There's someone else who wants to assassinate the leader.
[messenger] Who?
