THE GREATEST, FINAL COMEBACK
Reflect it!
That mirror...!
Wait.
That Mirror of Shahal... Could you take it with you?
Th-This is too heavy. It's no good on my arm.
Just hide it in your tunic as armour.
But this thing...
The Mirror of Shahal is an item. It won't break even if I die.
I want that mirror to see you through to the end...
in my place.
Sigma...
I know it will be of some service. Take it with you.
It's from back then!
Th-This has been of way more than "some" service!
It's become the deciding factor for victory! Thanks, Sigma!
Now... this moment...!
This moment is everything!
If I don't pull this off, we'll never have another chance to defeat Vearn!
My friends created this moment for me!
I put everything...
everything I have into this moment!
Do it!
Avan Strash!
Don't...
Don't underestimate Vearn, the Dark King!
H-He can move?!
The spell hit him directly when he was frozen!
Those intense flames...!
An Overfiend!
I withstood it!
Now I just take down his Strash...
and it's all over!
Strash Cross!
My arm.
My arm should be able to beat any weapon!
H-He beat it!
He beat the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!
Vearn can no longer use the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!
Like with Dark Aura, wounds from Draconic Aura can't heal immediately!
Wounded as he was, he managed to hit Vearn with a critical blow!
Sigma, look.
The ones that we accepted as our rivals...
are far stronger than we thought.
It's only just begun!
From here the real fight starts!
I'm not defeated yet!
Dai!
Vearn, I'm not letting go!
We're taking this together!
Zapple!
Dai!
A-Are you trying to die with me?
I don't have the stamina to use Giga Strash again.
And even if you can't use the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth
you aren't likely to just let a spell hit you!
But this is 100% guaranteed to hit you!
Let's see who can last longer!
Why you...!
One more time!
Zapple!
Now there's multiple lightning strikes.
Is that Dai's spell?
Let's pray it's not a Dark Army attack.
Zapple!
Why don't you give up your futile resistance?!
You say that, but your pull on me is weakening!
It's because you pierced one of my three hearts!
But that's not enough to kill me!
Zapple!
How many times is that?!
A-At this rate, not just Vearn, but Dai...
Dai will be killed!
Zapple!
Dai!
I-I can't stop him.
No matter how self-destructive it is,
the only way to defeat Vearn is for Dai to risk his own life like this!
Vearn said he won't die...
but this is definitely having an effect!
The lighting is directly entering his body through the Sword of Dai!
Even Vearn can't withstand that!
All I can say is this...
Don't die before Vearn does!
That's all, Dai!
I don't understand. Don't you feel any fear?
Don't you have any doubts in using such a reckless tactic?
Not at all!
Actually, it's easier this way!
I can damage you and I'm the only one who gets hurt!
My friends all suffered and fell in battle to provide me with this one last chance!
Why shouldn't I suffer in battle as well?!
So this is the bond of souls you talk about?
Yeah! It is!
Give up, Dai.
W-What?!
This bond of souls you believe in...
The blood your friends have spilled and their suffering...
You'll soon see that it was all pointless.
Pointless?!
So just stop this useless attack.
It's for your own good.
What are you talking about?!
There's... There's no way that it's pointless!
The reason I've got you pinned right now is all thanks to my friends!
What if pinning me down is in and of itself pointless?
Huh?!
What?!
This shaking...!
What's that sound?!
Vearn Palace has lost the Dark Force Reactor, its main power.
Now out of control,
the floating properties of its constituent materials lift it ever higher.
The surface is far, far away.
But there is one part of Vearn Palace that I can still control.
A part that only I can control.
Observe.
The heart?
But the Dark Force Reactor...
Yes. You destroyed it.
But that's not what I'm talking about.
I mean what lies beneath it.
W-What?! What is that, Vearn?!
Vearn Palace's ultimate weapon.
The Pillar of Vearn!
GIGA STRASH
THE DEMONIC GUARD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH
The Pillar of Vearn.
I've dropped others just like it all over the world.
There were six Pillars of Vearn. One in each block of Vearn Palace.
I've dropped them all over the world.
I've dropped five so far. This is the last pillar that remains.
What happens if I drop it below us right now?
Below us?
You know, don't you? It will blow everything away.
Queen Flora and the others... they're below us!
Dai, don't let him!
St-...
Stop!
S-Stop!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Stop!
E-Everyone... Queen Flora and the others...
Dai, do you recognize that?
Huh?
I'm asking if you recognize that glow.
Th-That's a...!
That's...
A Black Core!
W-What?!
That's the infamous Underworld super-explosive.
The thing that was implanted inside Hadlar?!
The thing that killed Dad... A Black Core!
The destructive power of a Black Core increases with its size.
That one is over ten times the size of the Core that was in Hadlar.
Do you understand what that means?
The one in Hadlar blew away the entire Field of Death.
At ten times that size, this entire area...
No, the entire Surface World...
And there are five others like that!
Do you remember where they were dropped?
I remember all of them.
You humans called it an indiscriminate attack, but it wasn't.
I dropped all of them where they needed to be dropped.
First was northwest Romos.
Then southern Orzam.
Valge Island.
Western Papnica.
Ringaia Kingdom.
And here in northern Carl.
What happens when you connect the dots?
It creates a hexagon!
Six giant Black Cores become the points in a hexagon,
creating pillars of fire on the surface.
Their destructive power is increased by the hexagonal Magic Circle they create,
completely blowing away the Surface World.
And leaving the Underworld in its place.
That sun that sets in the horizon,
will tomorrow rise to light the Underworld.
Look at it, Dai.
This is how it ends.
N-...
Not yet!
Not if I can defeat you before they explode!
Give it up.
Defeating me won't stop their detonation.
You're lying!
They were all built with a timer.
In a few minutes, the Surface World will vanish.
Th-That won't happen!
I'll defeat you and then stop them!
Six locations around the world, alone?
Like with chess,
true victors move their pieces without revealing why until the last move.
Had anyone with real strength been left down there,
there would have been a chance of them discovering the secret of the Pillars.
That's why I issued this challenge.
It's why I chose this last point as the location.
As expected, you all gathered your forces here.
And this is the result.
The strongest individuals in the world have all fallen here.
None can move. There's nothing you can do.
Give it up, Dai.
It's all over.
Surely you understand now.
You truly understand how pointless it is to fight any further.
N-No!
I don't accept that!
It can't be pointless!
If we... If we all came this far just to give up...!
Then will you just take my life?
If you continue your attack, you may kill me.
But it will take more than a few minutes to finish me.
Killing me after the Surface World is annihilated might be entertaining.
Let me ask just to be sure.
Did you begin this fight with the objective of killing me?
No.
The reason I started this fight...
was to protect peace on the Surface World.
And that which you seek to protect will soon be gone.
It will be gone.
Dai...
What's wrong?
What's wrong with me?
The fight isn't over yet!
No... No matter what, I can't give up!
Get up! Get up, Dai!
S-Something's wrong.
Why can't I get up?
That look on his face!
He knows!
There really is nothing he can do!
We came... We came all this way just for things to end like this?!
D-Dammit!
Dammit!
Don't weep. You all truly fought well.
Now let us watch the end of the Surface World together.
This is a historic moment.
It's over! All of it!
Our families...
All the important people in the world...
And the ordinary people oblivious to it all...
Everyone will disappear!
Soon, they're all going to vanish into nothing!
We couldn't do anything about it!
In the end we failed!
By launching the final Pillar of Vearn,
the timers in all the other Pillars have been activated.
In less than ten minutes, they will all explode at once.
In less than ten minutes, the accursed Surface World will be gone!
I can't help but feel great satisfaction.
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
The last Pillar of Vearn was dropped.
When the Black Cores in each pillar emit an ominous glow,
the countdown to the end of the Surface World begins.
Understanding the situation, Dai loses the will to even stand up.
Just then, a voice from the surface reaches Popp's ears.
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai,
"Like a Bright Flash"
The adventure continues!
