THE EYE JEWEL
Now you shall slowly feel my wrath.
I think I've come up with an entertaining idea.
Princess Leona.
You must serve beside me.
W-What?!
After the Surface World is demolished, I shall keep you alive.
You can watch this Dragon Knight,
the hope of the Surface World, be viciously torn apart.
Then spend the rest of your life serving me.
You shall be an Underworld songstress, singing of my power and terror.
That will be much more entertaining than just simply slaughtering you.
I can enjoy that for a long time.
What do you think?
I... I'll never do that!
Don't be stupid! If Dai should fall, then I won't live long either!
I'll fight until the very end together with Dai!
Leona...
How very brave.
For one so young to possess such a strong will.
I've never encountered this before.
I like you even more now.
But look at your precious Dai.
He's on the verge of death.
There is no if. He will die.
If I'm going to kill him, I want him completely and utterly destroyed!
I want him to see my greatness and the limits of his own strength.
And to see the true nature of the humans he so loves.
He should know true despair before he dies.
Now, Princess, take a good look.
Watch your Hero get pummeled to death!
Dai!
What's wrong, Dai?! Can't you get up?
Are you just going to roll around like a worm?
Perhaps my Calamitous End was too powerful?
It's no good! I can't move properly!
Get up! Fight back!
No. I must watch.
I shouldn't avert my eyes from Dai's suffering.
I'm fighting, too!
I have to do something! Anything!
Anything against the Dark King!
Just doing that will lessen Dai's suffering!
And now for this.
Kaiser Phoenix!
W-Well?
How does it feel to be wounded by a little girl, Dark King?
Did you see that, Dai?!
Vearn's body couldn't be cut by even a Gigastrash,
but unless he's fully focused, he can't maintain his invulnerability!
Even I could wound him!
Nothing in this world is invulnerable!
Nothing can be!
Don't forget that!
Leona...
If you still want to keep me alive then go right ahead!
But I'll tell everyone for the rest of my life
that I wounded the great Dark King Vearn!
That I'm the strongest woman in the world!
No! Get up! Stand up!
If I don't stand...
then Leona will...
Leona!
You will regret that.
You can no longer resist or speak.
Leona!
Huh?!
Leona became a jewel?!
How do you feel, Princess Leona?
Huh?
Leona!
Where am I?! What happened to me?!
You decided to wound me, so I won't kill you.
I won't be satisfied unless you suffer a fate worse than death.
I've used my Magic Power to turn you into a jewel called an Eye.
There are only three things you can do now.
See, hear, and think.
You cannot move, and your voice cannot be heard.
No matter what scenes of atrocity may unfold before you...
you cannot look away.
Congratulations, Dai.
While heavily wounded, you may still be worthy of fighting me.
Dai! Dai!
Leona, hang in there!
Now watch from there, Princess...
as the Hero is beaten beyond all hope.
You cannot fight with him, nor can you take your own life.
As a leader of the Surface World, there can be no greater humiliation.
I will change you back once you decide to pledge eternal servitude to me.
Turn her back now!
You'll have to stop my Magic Power.
Defeat me and she'll be restored.
But that seems unlikely in your condition.
I have to defeat Vearn! If I don't defeat him here, then Leona...
But his Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth is perfect.
It has no weakness!
Hm?
That's it! If there's no weakness, then...
That look... He's thought of something.
But I can't do it alone!
Well? What's wrong? Didn't you think of some way to fight back?
It doesn't matter either way.
You will still be torn apart.
Calamitous End?!
Don't be so surprised.
The Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth
isn't necessary for a Kaiser Phoenix or Calamitous Wall attack.
The divine power of my palm strike can also be unleashed at any time.
Why use my ultimate skill against one who has lost the will to fight?
I'll cut you to shreds!
Oh Dai. This isn't good.
You can barely even stand.
To be powerless at a time like this...
To be forced to just watch...
That's it, Princess! I feel your torment!
To feel it for just a minute, for just a second longer is more fun!
You should know that my last attack was just a simple palm strike.
Calamitous End is my greatest strike.
I put all of my might into it.
Like this.
Dai!
Can you withstand a second one?!
Dai!
Calamitous End!
KAGLIMMER
THE DEMONIC GUARD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH
Calamitous End!
Sorry about that, Mister Dark King.
You...
You'll have to beat all of us.
It's not over until you do!
Popp! Everyone!
You little scrubs.
Begone!
Watch out, everyone! That eye is...!
It looks like most of you were barely healthy enough to make it here.
Those worthy enough to fight me are...
Dai, Popp, Avan, Hym, Larhart...
Just you five.
What's going on here?!
When hit by the light of Vearn's third eye,
anyone too weak to fight is turned into a jewel.
He got Leona, too.
Then everyone's in these things?!
What terrifying Magic Power.
To come all this way and be useless...
Dammit!
Let me out!
That's right. Hyunckel was already in critical condition.
Maam and Brokeena were still wounded from the fight with Myst.
Sadly, I guess Big Guy and Chiu weren't strong enough.
There's a big difference between Big Guy and Chiu.
But I guess compared to Vearn it's all the same.
Are they still alive in there?
Yeah. But they can't do anything.
Great. That's actually better.
What?! Don't you care that he got your friends?!
I thought you were better than that!
They can be turned back, right?
Vearn said defeating him would restore them.
He's the Dark King. We won't be able to cover for our wounded.
Popp...
From the looks of it, those jewels won't break so easily.
Maam and the Princess are actually safe.
We don't have to worry about getting thrown off by them getting killed.
It's a little heartless, but defeating him will be easier this way!
Oh?
You're always so noisy, so I thought you'd be more sympathetic,
but you can be pretty level-headed.
It depends on the situation!
Anyway, if we lose, the Surface World is over!
And our friends won't be turning back!
Matoriv?
If it means defeating him, and saving our friends,
I'll do anything it takes!
I see.
He's been instructing Popp while I was gone.
It's just like back then.
It feels like Matoriv is right here beside me.
Before you know it, they've all grown up so much.
Cool. Be cool!
Now's the time to fight like Mentor!
Now that we know he can reflect Medroa, I've only got one thing left.
It's this sharp mind that's got me and my friends through numerous perils!
I suppose the bigger the audience the better.
You have to see the fall of the Hero Dai, hope of the Surface World.
But you should all be proud.
You are witnesses to history.
Cry, heavens!
Howl, earth!
Here and now...
the age of darkness has come!
Now... witness this!
That's...!
Heal Master Dai!
Right!
We'll use that time...
...to hold him off!
No! Don't charge into his Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!
That's the Dark King's ultimate skill! Not even the three of you could...!
Don't!
What are you doing, Popp?! We have to stop them!
Just sit still!
Avan Strash!
Sunder Claw!
Aura Knuckle!
Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!
That's all the three of you together can do?!
At least Dai's Gigastrash managed to wound me!
I saw it! He repelled the Sunder Claw with the force of his palm...
took down the Avan Strash with Kaiser Phoenix...
and shattered the Aura Knuckle with a palm strike!
Attack, defense, and magic all in one motion!
So that's Vearn's ultimate skill!
Why?! Why did you abandon them all, Popp?!
Vearn's stance is unbeatable! I know that, which is why...
Thank goodness! They're alive! We have to stop them from--
Why doesn't he finish them? They're all in shambles!
He could wipe them all out with a single extreme spell!
Is he playing with them?
No, that's not it. He isn't giving any openings.
Could it be...?
So, what now?
Will you give up and beg for your lives?
Or will you once again face my ultimate skill of death?
Given that choice, there is but one answer!
We'll take our chances!
A welcome answer.
But it looks like one of you won't be able to.
Master Avan!
Master!
I'm pleased that you fell so quickly, Avan.
Fighting power aside, your brain can't be underestimated.
You're unpredictable.
And the smartest man on the Surface World.
Unfortunately for you, there's still someone smarter than me.
M-Master!
I'm sorry! I... I...!
I understand why you held Dai back despite knowing what would happen.
Only the Hero's strike can defeat the Dark King.
You were following the advice that I gave to Princess Leona.
Just as Dai, the Hero is the only one who can defeat the Dark King,
the only one who can unlock Dai's full potential...
is the one who has been with him since the very beginning of this fight.
Popp... That's you.
Work together... and achieve victory!
Master!
Master Avan!
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

And we began this tale together
hajimeta monogatari
Beyond the horizon something glimmers
chiheisen no mukou de kirameiteiru
tashika na mono sagashitsuzukete iruno
We've been seeking something certain
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 Avan was turned into an Eye Jewel.
Dai and his friends are helplessly battered.
And his allies trapped in Eye Jewels can do nothing but cry out.
Things are dire, and to overcome the Dark King's greatest skill,
the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth, Popp readies a desperate plan.
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai,
"On This Bond"
The adventure continues!
