ON THIS BOND
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, please watch us!
I promise...
we'll get the Dark King for you!
What a joke.
What are you doing?! Vearn's going to attack!
Hurry and ready yourself!
Nah. Don't worry.
Vearn will never attack first in that stance,
the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth.
It's not that sort of skill.
I understand now.
It's the ultimate defensive skill.
Basically, it's for countering.
While it lets him use three skills at once,
used offensively, it's just a triple attack.
And Vearn's skills are great enough to defeat most enemies without it.
I bet the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth
is a stance Vearn only uses against truly powerful enemies.
By letting an enemy attack first,
he can hit them with his super skills of attack, defense, and magic,
completely obliterating them.
It's unbeatable!
But he must charge a massive amount of energy in order to unleash these.
They're not normal attacks.
Hitting his opponent with these three super attacks
is what brings such devastation.
That immovable stance isn't just to make his enemies attack first.
It probably lets him conserve energy, storing it in his body
and then unleashing it all at once.
It appears Avan's parting words weren't said out of desperation.
A fledgling like you saw through my ultimate skill.
But, knowing that, what can you do?
How do you intend to fight?
Once I take this stance, it's over. No one can break it.
And buying time is meaningless.
Dai's wounds were inflicted by Dark Aura and can't be healed by healing spells.
That's the problem!
Dai's not healing at all!
I can only think of one way to attack Vearn.
Hit him in the brief moments following an attack.
Before he charges for the next.
But with everyone in this state...
And I can always initiate an attack as well.
Don't forget that!
-He dropped his stance! -Here he comes!
Larhart! Hym!
I hate to ask this from complete strangers, but...
give your lives to me!
They say ancient humans thought thunder was the gods fighting in the heavens.
You can feel the terrifying power from way down here!
Dai and the others must be fighting Dark King Vearn right now!
Unbelievable.
There's no ifs or buts about it.
Either the Dark King falls, or the Surface World ends.
It's one or the other.
It's hopeless!
He's on a whole different level!
Please! Please just stop it!
I can almost hear the anguished cries of your friends, Dai!
They might as well have stayed behind and left you here with the Princess!
This game...
is mine.
-D-Darn it! -It's no good!
I can't move my body!
So much for my plan. It looks like it was worthless.
You asked us to give our lives to you.
So tell us.
If there's any hope of winning, tell us what to do!
We've reached our limit!
If you can't hold out, then all is lost.
My plan wasn't anything complicated.
It's what you said before.
Be a shield for Dai!
We're all beat to hell here.
None of us can face Vearn directly.
That's why I wanted the three of us to take his blows and create an opening,
allowing Dai to focus on the offensive!
"Wanted"? You're talking past tense?
It looks like I underestimated him.
At this rate, we won't even be able to take more blows for Dai!
P-Popp...
I shall end this now.
I'll wipe you all out with my Calamitous Wall.
It looks like some poor little Eyes will be disintegrated as well.
He means me!
I'll make this one move slowly.
You can enjoy your fear longer.
Calamitous Wall!
Dammit! He's laughing his head off!
I won't give up!
I will never give up!
I swear I'll survive this Calamitous Wall!
There's no point if we can't withstand it!
I need him to use that ultimate skill one more time!
What?!
You fool! Didn't you see the three of us fail against it?!
The Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth
can't be beaten head-on, not even with ten people!
But the moment he unleashes that ultimate skill is when he's most vulnerable!
Popp, you had the same idea as me!
I thought that was the only way, too!
Withstand all three super attacks and then attack immediately after!
That's the only way to defeat that unbeatable skill!
But I knew that it would kill me if I tried it alone.
So you saw through it, too.
Nice going, partner. That settles it!
You're not alone anymore!
You've got allies here who will suffer those super attacks in your place!
Even if it means getting hit by all three, I'll give you the chance to strike back!
So that was the plan. These guys are crazy.
It's an impossibility within an impossibility.
And we haven't even gotten him to take his ultimate stance yet.
First we need to take care of the big problem at hand.
But it's still a gamble whether the Dark King will take his stance or not!
Stay back!
Little Hym!
That sounds fun!
You can count me in on that hopeless gamble!
Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to see how it turns out!
Hym!
You've gained my respect for the first time.
But I can't let you beat me in terms of dedication to Master Dai!
I can't see anymore!
Which way is Vearn?!
Vearn's this way!
Come on!
-You can have it! -My life!
Larhart! Hym!
They actually did it!
AURA KNUCKLE
SUNDER CLAW
In this condition I doubt anything I do will work on him!
In that case...!
We'll be living bullets!
We'll use our bodies as weapons and charge him!
So you're prepared to die.
Their intensity...
No simple attack can counter them!
Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!
W-What?!
Medroa?!
Phoenix Wing!
You surprised me, boy!
Not only did you once again force me to take this stance,
but by using a delayed Medroa,
you even managed to scare me!
But, unfortunately for you, you're now out of options.
What? I can't drop my stance!
Something inside of me senses a threat!
Do they still...?!
Hym, Larhart, thank you!
You used to be our enemies, and yet you've done so much for us!
You've given us a chance at victory!
We can't waste it!
Your final attack?
Very well. Come on!
Are you sure about that, Mister Dark King?
What do you mean?
This final attack we're about to unleash
will break through your precious Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!
Don't make me laugh!
Gigastrash and Medroa.
You already know that your most powerful attacks won't work!
Don't you get it, Vearn?!
Popp didn't cast Medroa to try to defeat you!
He did it to show me the perfect timing!
Oh?
I was right.
Right after you use the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth,
there's a slight delay until you're ready to counter again.
I cast Medroa in order for Dai and I to see the timing for ourselves!
Just as I thought, you froze for an instant!
And on top of that, you couldn't properly deflect the Medroa back at me!
Even though Mystvearn could do it!
In other words, if we strike at that timing,
even wounded as we are, we have a chance at a comeback!
That's interesting.
I see. So that's the reason why I froze.
No wonder you never knew about it.
The Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth has never failed to beat your enemy, has it?
Of course not.
The Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth is my ultimate skill!
To use it means to absolutely erase any enemy.
That's why you have that weakness!
Being your greatest and final skill causes that opening!
No matter how great a skill it is, you shouldn't show it off so many times.
If you want to secure a victory, you should attack normally.
Mister Dark King!
This is a gamble!
With their stamina drained, having Vearn attack normally would be worse.
Pop is purposely provoking Vearn to get him to use his ultimate skill.
He's betting on the Dark King's absolute confidence in his ultimate skill!
Very well.
I accept that challenge!
Yes! Now it's all or nothing!
I'm interested in seeing if that little provocation of yours pays off.
I never imagined that I had such a weakness.
But first...!
And then there were two!
Dai! Popp!
This is grim!
I don't know what Popp's planning,
but those two are too wounded to break Vearn's ultimate skill!
Dammit! I can't even be a shield for them in their moment of need!
From what I see, Dai doesn't have the stamina to use Gigastrash anymore.
And if you plan to finish things with your Medroa, I can deflect it again,
whether back at you or not.
Neither attack can be used to finish me.
That's what I'm interested in.
There's no way you two can possibly pull off that plan by yourselves.
You can't even withstand my ultimate skill!
So how do you intend to hit me with a deciding blow?
I must see this!
Which of us will use the deciding blow? Isn't it obvious?!
The Hero is the one who always defeats the Dark King!
I'll be the shield against your ultimate skill!
Popp!
I did it!
I remember Mentor once used two spells at the same time.
I thought maybe I could pull it off now.
You're very talented, boy!
That may be better than a single Medroa...
but I thought you were smarter than that.
Can't you do simple math?
What?!
Let's assume that Explosion-type spell is as strong as a Kaboom spell.
And that you can cause a great deal of damage
with the rest of your Magic Power focused in that staff.
That adds up to two!
So what about my third attack?
If a frail human like you takes a direct hit unguarded,
you won't even serve as a shield!
First, I'll deflect your spell with my Phoenix Wing.
Then I'll shatter your weapon with my Calamitous End.
That'll leave you defenseless.
And you'll be hit by the combined force of the deflected spell and my Kaiser Phoenix.
You'll be incinerated in an instant,
and Dai will be hit by my spell before he can exploit any weakness.
You'll both be reduced to ashes. That's how it will end.
Things might be different if you only had a few more people.
Here goes, Vearn!
And yet... you still try.
Vearn...
Popp may have been a little unreliable at first.
But he's been with me in this battle since the very beginning.
He's a friend I trust. He's saved me time and time again!
If Popp says he'll make an opening for me, then he will!
All I have to do is trust him and focus my power!
You should remember this.
The two of us aren't alone.
We may have started this adventure together,
but we've met numerous people on our way here!
We've fought against and been saved by them!
If even one of them hadn't been there, we wouldn't be facing you now!
Even if they're far away, even if they can't move,
we're all connected by the bond of our souls!
It's the strength of this bond!
You can't see it, but I know it's gonna surprise you!
I said it once. Don't make me say it again.
You can't kill me with your soul!
Here goes, Dai!
The rest is up to you!
Right!
Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!
Burn to ashes!
Popp!
It's no good! It's just as Vearn said!
I was right!
The Mirror of Shahal?!
Reflect it!
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
Thanks to the desperate charge by Hym and Larhart, Popp found a way.
Popp reflects Vearn's magic with the Mirror of Shahal,
consuming Vearn in flames.
Using the chance that everyone has given him, Dai readies a desperate attack!
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai,
"The Greatest, Final Comeback"
