THE DEMONIC GUARD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH
So you became my teacher of darkness to raise me to be your perfect body!
Hah! You're too late in realizing that!
When I found you after you had left Avan, I had an idea.
No matter how strong it is, this body is still King Vearn's.
It's not mine.
Even if I find a replacement, it might not be compatible with my dark power.
But if I were to raise one from scratch
and train it to use the greatest dark power, it would be the perfect spare.
Should the time come to return King Vearn's body,
it would be the perfect weapon for me.
A weapon?
All I was to you was a weapon.
That's right. You're my weapon. My tool.
There were times when I considered killing you, but I'm glad I kept you alive.
In the end, you served me well!
Hyunckel!
I've found it! Your soul!
Hyunckel, now you will die.
Unlike that girl, the erasure of your soul won't be temporary.
This soul will be disintegrated and you will become a living puppet!
Then, at last, we will become one!
My spirit and your body will create a warrior that will rival Mystvearn!
Consider it an honor! You get to be a successor to King Vearn!
This is...
Aura of Light?!
Hyunckel, you focused Aura of Light into your own soul?!
I couldn't move well anyways, so this was all I could do.
But you couldn't have gathered this much power in an instant!
Not unless you knew I would possess you! How did you know?!
I just had a feeling.
You were certain to choose me.
Hyunckel!
-Hyunckel! -Are you okay?!
Where's Myst?!
He died...
inside of me.
So the never-ending struggle between master and student of darkness has ended.
He should be happy.
He got to die in the perfect body that he raised over the years.
Master.
What am I... to you?
Isn't it obvious?
You're my pride.
Why?! Why won't you attack?!
Isn't that supposed to be the ultimate body?!
Just wait.
Master.
You're awake, Maam.
Where's Myst?!
Don't worry. It's gone from this world.
You banished it, didn't you, Master?
-By driving it from my body. -Huh?
Uh, ahem, something like that.
Of course, I couldn't have done it without everyone's help.
You'd rather not let her know about your dark connection with Myst.
Hyunckel...
I can tell just how important Maam is to you.
I'm well aware.
But...
But Popp...
Popp and Grand Master were killed by Myst.
Uh...
Ah, you're awake, Maam.
Oh!
Hm?
What the hell are you doing here?
Can't you tell? We're healing. It's healing time.
Before I disguised myself as Killvearn, I rescued them from the Medroa spell.
I left their unconscious bodies behind and put on my disguise,
but with all the excitement, I never got a chance to explain.
It looks like they just woke up, too.
It's not like they meant to worry you...
Uh, Maam, you're not listening.
Maam? Maam?
What are you being all prickly for?
Wait. Are you thinking, "I should be the one to heal Popp!"
Is that it?
You idiot!
Maam, calm down!
We understand, but...!
Oh dear. And after I healed him, too.
Are you sure she still doesn't have some residual evil in her?
Nah. Those two are always like that.
But it's always Popp's fault.
-Be that as it may, Captain... -Hm?
It looks like Medicinal Herbs don't work on me.
Can't you cast any Heal-type magic?
Ahem! I cannot!
Okay! Let's go help Master Dai! Are you ready?!
Excuse me...
I'm not ready.
Good grief.
Hey Maam.
I mean... I was so worried.
He's always so thick.
That was a little violent for trying to hide your relief.
Come on! Get up already!
A Heal spell!
Cast it yourself!
Not only him, but anyone with major damage should either stay here or head back.
No. After all this, there's no going back.
Not to steal Hyunckel's line, but I want to see this battle through.
Even if it costs you your life?
To be honest, I'm scared to go on.
Even as Mystvearn's body, Vearn's power was near perfect.
Up there, he now has the elder body's Magic Power and intellect as well.
I know how terrifying the bodies were apart,
so I'd honestly rather not face them together.
Then why go?
I could ask you the same, Larhart.
You couldn't do a thing against Mystvearn.
Knowing there's someone even stronger, why do you still go?
A foolish question.
Even if I can't do anything, it doesn't matter so long as Master Dai wins.
To die for that cause is my duty as leader of the Dragon Masters.
If I am but a shield for Master Dai, then so be it.
That alone makes going worth it.
Well there you go.
Then you're the same as us.
No one here believes that they can actually face the Dark King.
But we've made up our minds.
Win or lose, we're still going.
Because... Dai's up there!
The more shields there are, the better.
Good point.
Let's go.
To Dai!
GRAND CROSS
GIGA STRASH
It should take about five seconds.
Huh?
Five... four... three... two... one... zero.
What is it, Dai?!
I'm... I'm healing! My body's healing!
What?!
You should be fully healed now.
Was that Leona's Fullheal spell?!
That's right.
The Fullheal spell cast on you while you were unaffected by Heal-type magic...
it has finally taken effect.
I thought you would revert soon, and I was right.
When fighting beyond your limits with Aura similar to Dark Aura,
sometimes such backlashes to the body can occur.
Weak beings can even die from it.
It can vary,
but you can estimate when someone will be restored from their eyes and skin tone.
Why did you wait for that to happen?!
It's obvious.
So he could fight with me at full power!
What?!
You're quite perceptive, Dai.
It's been a while since I've used this body.
Crushing an enemy not at their best would be utterly boring.
If we're going to fight, I'd prefer it be after you were fully healed.
Don't insult us! Are you trying to show off?!
Such threats won't work on us!
What's wrong with me? I can't speak.
All he did was glare at me and it's like my body's frozen!
I'm not trying to threaten or show off, Princess.
I genuinely look forward to fighting Dai.
The Secret Spell of Frozen Time is broken.
Until the next full solar eclipse in a few centuries,
I'm stuck in this form.
You've taken a few centuries of my immortal time.
If you don't pay the price, then I'll have been robbed.
You are obligated to amuse me as best as you can.
He's pure evil!
I kind of understand what he means.
Dai, don't be stupid! Don't listen to him!
Now that you're in that form, you're stronger than before, right?
Of course.
Much, much more so.
Being that strong in this world is just boring.
It's not that I enjoy fighting,
but I kind of understand how that feels.
Dai...
You're like me, Dai.
Don't pretend otherwise.
Descended from warriors, you have the blood of battle.
You can try to hide it, but your true nature reveals itself.
Child of a Dragon who was foolishly drawn to humans...
I shall tear off that mask you hide behind and make you experience hell!
Leona, get away!
It's okay.
No matter what, I'm still me.
I'm everyone's Dai.
As I've already said, I haven't fought in this body in thousands of years.
I can't hold back, so it might be over rather quickly.
I hope you'll forgive me if it is.
Grandiose talk before a battle isn't my style!
Zapple!
Oh?
That's Giga Strash!
This is the most powerful attack I can do!
Correct!
I do enjoy that about you.
You're bold and rational.
While you can appear reckless, you use the most logical attacks.
To see how strong he is...
To know our difference in strength, using my strongest attack is the best way.
And this attack takes time to prepare, so it's difficult to use in a close match.
This is a head-on approach!
Then I should show you a skill worthy of your attack.
Impressive that you instantly understood the danger of this stance.
It's called the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth.
Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth?
To my eyes it just looks like he's taken a simple stance.
But there's no way it can be that simple.
Just look at how Dai is sweating!
And now let our greatest skills clash.
Which of us will fall?
What's wrong, Dai?
Will you back down now?
I should tell you that your judgement is correct.
Your Giga Strash is indeed the best attack to use...
win or lose.
That's right!
Giga Strash is the strongest attack that I have!
This is...
my only...
option!
He's not dodging! Is he going to try to take it?!
Giga Strash!
Phoenix Wing!
Calamitous End!
Kaiser Phoenix!
Allow me to explain while my hand heals.
Why did Dai fall in an instant?
That's the secret to the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth.
"Heaven" is the attack.
"Earth" is defense.
And "Demonic" is reminiscent of the use of magic.
I see you understand.
I can attack, defend, and use magic in a single instant.
This impenetrable stance is the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth.
As an old man, two of the three is all I can do.
But this young body allows me to fight in such a way.
With this ultimate skill, no matter how lethal an attack one uses,
it becomes useless.
Of course he couldn't win.
Giga Strash is a mix of magic and attack that uses the Magic Sword.
But his opponent can add defense to that.
Anyone who charges into that stance will have their attack nullified,
and be simultaneously torn apart by his attack and magic.
I see even the strong-willed princess is at a loss for words.
What a nice face.
Stop!
Hm?
Get away... from Leona!
You may be shielded by your Draconic Aura,
but there's nothing Calamitous End can't cut.
No blade in the world can match a strike from the side of my palm.
I wonder if you've realized.
That wound is in the exact same place that you cut me before.
Now you shall slowly feel my wrath.
I think I've come up with an entertaining idea.
Princess Leona.
You must serve beside me.
Tell me, where are you going all alone?
nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno
I gaze at you from behind as you begin to walk away
arukidasu kimi no ushirosugata wo nagameru
Tell me, where are you going all alone?
nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno
We act tough and follow our hearts
massugu de tsuyogari na sonna bokura ga
And we began this tale together
hajimeta monogatari
Beyond the horizon something glimmers
chiheisen no mukou de kirameiteiru
We've been seeking something certain
tashika na mono sagashitsuzukete iruno
In the distant sky, dancing in the wind
haruka sora ni kaze ni nori matte
The birds sing as though illuminating the future
tobu tori wa naiteita mirai wo terasuyouni
The promise that connects us The adventure we share
bokura wo tsunagu yakusoku to bokura de tsumugu bouken wo
Again in this world
mata kono sekai de
Even Dai's Giga Strash didn't work against the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth.
Vearn tries to make Leona his own to make Dai feel despair.
Meeting fierce resistance, he shows signs of quiet anger for the first time.
As Dai falls into peril again, Popp and the others arrive.
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai,
"The Eye Jewel"
The adventure continues!
