TSUKIMICHI -MOONLIT FANTASY- SEASON 2
NIGHT 23: NEMESIS REVENGE MATCH Sophia Bulga.
NIGHT 23: NEMESIS REVENGE MATCH Correct.
It's my honor that you still remember me.
You survived, after all.
I was hoping that...
...the so-called Devil had taken you out.
Wait...
Does he not know he's the Devil?
What is it?
Forget it.
I'm delighted to see you again.
You actually survived my slash.
That makes you a lot stronger than Gritonia's hero.
Did you kill their hero?
No. Not yet, at least.
He showed me something that piqued my interest.
So, I decided to spare his life.
Can't you just leave us today?
It looks like you got plenty of entertainment from me.
No can do.
Heavenly Sword and I...
both agreed to inflict maximum damage on you.
I'm going to obliterate you today.
If I'm going to fight this foe,
I must be more focused than when I fought Io.
Both of you, stop!
Huh?
Rona? What are you doing here?
Sophia, listen up...
Kuzunoha?
What? This kid is Kuzunoha?
Hold on. You know Rona too?
I thought something felt off.
When did you learn to speak?
The Common Tongue?
Just now.
Kuzunoha, what is going on here?
Shouldn't you be in Rotsgard?
Well...
He seems to have made a deal with the goddess...
to help the empire's hero retake Fort Stellar.
You're doing the goddess's bidding, after all.
It was nothing but business.
I am not her pawn.
It's a shame to hear that, Kuzunoha.
You treat all demi-humans and demons as equals.
I was planning to bring you to the Demon King.
I never said I'd side with the demons.
It's the same as what you did in Rotsgard, Rona.
Rona...
Just a while ago, you still addressed me as Mrs. Rona.
Seeing you barely had any attachment for the humans,
I thought you'd thank me for my work in Rotsgard.
The whole thing would have benefited your business.
You were too nosy.
I've already cleared the streets.
Yes. I received the reports.
The demons should've left by now.
Indeed, the demons left.
I see. The demi-humans.
The luxurious residential area might be where the mastermind is.
There were demi-humans in that city who sided...
with the demons out of their hate for the humans.
So, how about we make another deal?
I'll help you do business in the demons' territories.
In exchange, I need you to leave.
I refuse.
You and Io should go back to your stronghold.
Withdraw all of your troops from Fort Stellar.
Sophia and Io are both here.
You think you can win?
That's not your concern.
You could join the fight if you wish.
Rona.
He is not bluffing.
I couldn't land a hit on him even after using the Rose Sign.
The Rose Sign?
Io! Have you lost your mind?
I can't let only my soldiers use it.
As long as I can take out the hero,
I don't mind letting someone else take my place.
Don't take this so lightly!
We may have different ways to show our loyalty,
but I recognize your strength.
Sorry.
How much time do you have left?
Well, Kuzunoha stopped me halfway through the activation.
There's no telling what he did, but I probably won't die.
You should've led with that!
Don't beat around the bush.
Io couldn't beat you even after sacrificing his life force.
Perhaps there's no way to win this fight unless I use my full power.
The full power of the Dragon Slayer?
I wouldn't want to get caught up in the fight.
I wish I could do the same.
Come on, don't give me that.
You've earned the right to face my full power.
By the way, Rona,
I finally remember the name of the Devil from my battle at Star Lake.
Why bring that up now?
Let's have a rematch, Devil Kuzunoha!
Devil?
Me?
She vanished.
There's no telling where she'll attack from.
This is...
What in the world is that?
In our last battle,
your surprise attack caused me a great deal of trouble.
To counter that, I found a way to get stronger.
Darkness?
She can now control even more elements.
What's the matter?
You didn't even scratch me.
Darkness magic aside,
you actually withstood...
the Blade Dragon's sword and the Flame Dragon's fire.
Are these supposed to be your best attacks?
Why not give it another shot?
Well then...
I'll do just that!
Is that his real armor?
Is that thing made out of mana?
I can't believe this.
This thing can easily withstand the Dragon Slayer's attacks.
I'm even more confident with its strength now.
Kuzunoha, you upgraded your defense skills.
Yes. It's the materialization of mana.
That's about it.
Materialization of mana?
I've never heard anything about that.
I expected as much.
My turn now.
Incredible! Utterly incredible!
This is the strength of a boy from another world!
This is the might of a human!
It's the very reason I can't resist getting involved.
Dragon Slayer Sophia,
you've done well.
I bet you never expected to be used as a camera.
One of the ultimate goals of alchemy is to produce the Philosopher's Stone.
Without any impurity in it,
it's the true form of Elixir,
prima materia made of mana.
He said he wanted to increase his mana output,
but I never thought he'd accomplish that in such a bizarre way.
You have more mana than me.
Why would you want more mana?
No, I meant the power of my spells.
Well, I want to increase my mana output.
The efficiency is still too low.
You know,
your mana pool is a talent you can't strengthen by training.
But the maximum limit of my mana seems to be always increasing.
Materializing mana and maintaining it outside the body?
Just how much mana does one need to pull this off?
This is utterly insane.
An astounding accomplishment.
It's a great feat.
Makoto.
You're the very manifestation of the goal I've longed to realize.
My heart is racing.
I feel my mind slipping away.
I'm thrilled beyond words.
Your speed isn't all that impressive.
Because I'm not a martial arts expert.
But your attacks pack a lot of power.
Did you get your power from Greater Dragons other than Lancer?
She teleported again.
There's no way Lancer's sword is moving.
Is this the power of a Shadow Dragon?
A ranged attack?
That looks like a laser beam.
That didn't work either...
The Flame Dragon Crimson Lapis, the Greater Dragon of Fire...
It has the highest attack power among the dragons.
Good grief.
You kept using the power of the Greater Dragons.
I don't remember getting on their bad side.
Don't worry.
It's not you that they hate.
You blocked that attack.
How about this?
That armor can do more than just defend?
Perception Realm.
Found you.
The beam bent!
Io.
It's best you don't try to act imposing.
If you get in my way,
I won't hesitate to act.
I haven't given up on my fight with you.
Is that so?
Don't say I didn't warn you.
I remember now.
You're really good at detecting the location of your foes.
You can do regeneration now.
But that must have hurt a lot.
It's time we end this.
Four Greater Dragons.
Not just the Heavenly Sword and the Waterfall.
After our battle, I reached the surface of the lake.
I devoured Night Clad and Crimson Lapis.
Devoured?
Don't you get your power from the Greater Dragons?
I devour dragons and absorb their power.
Inside me is the power to raze an entire nation to the ground.
That's quite a bluff.
Or perhaps this world is a lot more fragile than I know?
By devouring Sand Wave and Invincible, I can finally defeat him.
I can take down even the Myriad Color.
Myriad Color...
Her real target is Luto.
Darn it.
I didn't want to have scales.
It's very uncool.
This is all your fault.
It's time for you to pay.
A transformation?
I don't think that's enough to defeat Shin and Luto.
Shin and Luto?
It seems there is more info that I need to get out of you.
Shin the Invincible is one thing,
but almost no one alive knows the real name of Myriad Color.
I see.
But we've been having dinner together lately.
Don't you dare look down on me!
The strength of my mana mass was reduced.
Kuzunoha, don't take this personally.
Io is charging at me.
What?
No one says a humanoid form can only have two arms.
You have four arms yourself.
This isn't a heads-up. It's a warning.
Io,
if you ever try this again, I'll kill you.
Rocket punch.
Just kidding.
A meteor flies across the night sky.
Is that a Demon General?
What...
It'd be a shame to kill him.
I've told him to stay away from Fort Stellar.
That should settle it.
Keep your eyes on me!
What...
I never said I couldn't reconstruct the mass.
I wonder how good your defense is in this form.
You do wail like a human, after all.
I'll kill you.
I'm going to kill you!
This side is cleared!
All the demons we can spot are dead.
We're almost done here.
Those with a Rose Sign are too tough.
Cursed demons.
You killed my friends!
Watch out for the mist.
Touching it will weaken you.
There are fewer of them than anticipated.
Has the retreat order come down?
Stay sharp. Something's coming.
Swords of light.
Is it him?
Is anyone hurt?
Lady Hibiki! Mr. Woody is...
Sorry.
I caught a stray shot.
Start casting the healing spell.
Yes.
What was that?
There's a new enemy?
A dragon?
It's nothing to fear.
I've seen worse things in Tsige.
A Lich.
It doesn't look like you're an ally of the demons.
Whatever. I'll spare you.
Leave now.
Lancer the Greater Dragon, namely the Heavenly Sword.
I never thought we'd meet again.
That stance... What are you going to do?
My name is Larva, the Devil's squire.
The Devil?
He brought his sidekick here.
You seem very reasonable.
Let's rumble.
It's my turn now.
That mana mass is strong,
but my killing move is perfect to counter it.
Sophia can cover me while I cast it.
Rona.
I don't know what you're scheming,
but if you don't stop casting the spell,
I'll kill you next.
He was nothing but a naive boy when we last spoke.
He's acting like a completely different person.
What's the deal with him?
I was just messing with you, Kuzunoha.
You want us to give up on the heroes and Fort Stellar, right?
Very well. I accept the proposal.
What's the catch?
No catch.
I mean it when I say I wish to bring you to the Demon King.
I see. I'll consider it.
Sophia may be a visiting general,
but she doesn't command any troops.
I can leave her be for now.
Even when you can't guarantee her safety?
Yes.
Whatever the outcome is,
I'll consider it part of the war and accept it.
Well, you may go now.
You can forget about going after the heroes when you leave.
Shiki is waiting outside.
I'm not a fool. I'll take my leave now.
I'm terrified.
It's no wonder he's called the Devil.
A sword is fused with your arm.
This is the manifestation of the Heavenly Sword's power.
As more of the dragons' power is unleashed,
we get closer to fusing together.
You can throw away your trump cards when your foe is weakened.
Do you really think I won't kill you?
At my age, I'm not naive enough to think that...
I wouldn't be killed in a fight.
But you?
Your attack packs less power than the hero of Gritonia.
Is that so?
I've never met the hero in person.
There's no need to settle the fight in one move.
I'll just have to slowly wear you down.
That was mean.
The other one was a lot more likable.
The attack packs a lot more power.
Not enough to force me into taking this form,
but still much stronger than you.
You're contradicting yourself.
Not only did he care about his comrades,
but he even had the resolve to sacrifice his life force.
If I had to pick an ally...
I see. The empire does indeed have an impressive hero.
As mighty as you are,
you still ended up with his Charm's seed in you.
You never noticed?
You've lost all resilience against it before you knew it.
Me? Charmed by that hero?
You mentioned sparing his life.
It's actually because you had special feelings for him.
You have my pity.
I'll undo his Charm before we end this fight.
Shut it.
I'm not going to use a sneak attack.
I'll dispel the spell for free.
Didn't you hear me? Shut up.
Are you sure?
You've probably run out of options.
I told you to shut up!
High-speed dashing?
She still had a trump card up her sleeves.
She is certainly talented.
But this isn't fast enough.
It's time to end this.
Heavenly Sword...
When Heavenly Sword arrives, we can easily...
I hate to break it to you. It's not happening.
Even with the Greater Dragons' power, you're not strong enough.
Our Shiki is much stronger than Lancer.
Burn.
Mr. Larva!
Don't go!
The mist is too thick.
There's no denying you're the Devil's servant.
How disappointing.
You don't live up to the name.
You haven't lost the will to fight.
I wish we could've met sooner.
Playtime is over.
I'm in a hurry to regroup with Sophia.
Honestly, I'm eager to kill the Devil.
It was only for a brief moment, but he did break my leg.
Eager to kill?
That's my line, Lancer.
What?
You injured my master.
I'll make you pay for your crime.
You really know how to twist words.
