On that day two years ago…
When everything disappeared…
What do you want?
We were saved by a teleportation spell.
It was you, wasn't it?
Dark Schneider.
The tense air feels lighter.
Winter is over, isn't it?
BASTARD‼ -Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy-
HELL'S REQUIEM
Man, it's already summer, and it's still cold.
By the way, have you heard?
There's a rumor going around among the guards.
When Lord Kall-Su locks himself in this underground hall,
a ghastly, otherworldly voice echoes from beyond the door.
Don't be ridiculous.
The God of Destruction is still sleeping due to the final seal.
It can't talk.
The Sorcerer Shoguns would tan your hide if they heard you.
Mother, please hold on a little longer.
I swear I will set you free.
My dear Kall-Su.
I love you.
A sound.
I hear a sound.
Like waves.
That's Kall?
It's Kall.
He's got magic.
We're not allowed to play with him.
It's dangerous to get close to him.
Kall is so creepy.
Mother? Why are you crying?
I can't do this. Forgive me.
My dear Kall-Su.
-Mother, what should I forgive you for? -Mother, what should I forgive you for?
-For not being able to love me? -For not being able to love me?
This is a dream.
My tears ran dry long ago.
A city of people.
The city of Judas.
The grandest, most wealthy city on the Central Metallion Continent,
has become a squalid slum in just two years.
Is this due to the power of the God of Destruction
reawakening in the castle's dungeon temple?
Or…
As the world drifts into disorder,
I search for a Messiah to bring us light,
and give him my blessing.
That Messiah was one of the Five Knights.
Lars Ul Meta-llicana.
But he went missing in the Golem War
and a new Messiah will be born.
I believed that the new Messiah was Lord Kall-Su.
But now…
I am afraid.
We, the 12 Sorcerer Shogun,
would gladly die for his sake.
But Lord Kall-Su is changing day by day. He's like a different person.
I do not want to die for anyone but Lord Kall-Su.
Lord Kall-Su, I beg you. Put our minds at ease.
We have all put our fates
in your hands.
Guide us…
to your utopia.
-Huh? -Huh?
What's with that obviously suspicious bat?
It's huge!
I've never seen something so suspicious.
I feel a presence.
Enemies? They're already inside.
Three of them. This strong aura…
They're not human.
The aura's growing stronger.
Here they come.
A werewolf and a weretiger!
Who sent you here?
The second most splendid after Dark Schneider.
The second wisest after Dark Schneider.
And the second fairest after Dark Schneider.
The world's strongest Count,
and Dark Schneider's foremost servant!
Impossible. How can you be here?
The enemies of my beloved master, Dark Schneider,
must be punished!
I, Di-amon, will suck your blood!
Di-amon, the virtually immortal man.
The Three Sorcerer Generals were once said to rival even
Lord Kall-Su's Sorcerer Shoguns.
Chosen as the retainer of Nei, the Empress of Thunder,
he is the strongest magician out of the Three Sorcerer Generals.
His true identity is a vampire.
Lightning, flash! Thunder, rumble!
Storm, blow! Storm, come forth!
In this moment, I am exceptionally beautiful!
So, what business does a vampire have in Lord Kall-Su's bedchamber?
You fool.
What business does a vampire have other than sucking blood?
I won't let you.
If you don't want to get hurt,
get out of the way, pretty lady!
We're dangerous!
I'm…
a man!
Whoops!
My most sincere apologies.
But, this is strange.
I could swear I smelled a maiden.
Shut up!
Lord Kall-Su hates women.
He wouldn't have a woman among his Sorcerer Shogun.
Yes, that's a good point.
Then there's no need to hold back.
You two!
Beat this little brat to a pulp!
-As you wish, Count. -As you wish, Count.
My name is Marron.
And my name is Pirron.
Our orders are to take your life.
Without further ado.
Stop right there, intruders.
Speed of Light Strike.
It must be Yngwie von Mattström.
You're late, Yngwie.
What kept you?
I can't believe you tried to infiltrate Judas Castle with only three of you.
You've got some nerve.
But you won't take even one step past us.
The other Sorcerer Shoguns are in the castle tonight.
You can't escape now,
Di-amon the traitor.
You had to sneak in on the night before we leave for our expedition.
Bad luck for you.
I'll tear you to shreds, bat.
You bastard. What's so funny?
You idiots!
Do you understand what you're saying?
It's the full moon tonight.
The full moon enhances the powers
of all creatures of the night.
Don't you even know that, you fools?
It doesn't matter how many lowly humans gang up.
You are no match for me,
the second strongest after my great master Dark Schneider!
Such magic power.
What's this?
The walls… The floor…
They're pulsating like living organs.
It's an illusion. What are these tricks, Di-amon?
An illusion? Oh, please!
This is the true form of Judas Castle.
What did you say?
Beautiful! Truly beautiful!
Just like me.
This is good.
This is really good.
I guess you could say that the God of Destruction
has reached the peak of the current stage of reawakening,
and taken root throughout the castle.
Yngwie! Shella!
What's happening?
You're all here.
Everything looked normal to you until now
because a strong illusion spell hid the truth.
I, the embodiment of beauty, Di-amon, used my powerful magic
to dispel the illusion.
Impossible!
Was it Lord Kall-Su who cast the illusion spell?
He hid the truth even from his trusted Sorcerer Shogun.
Your conniving Kall-Su must have some nasty skeletons in his closet.
Shut up, freak!
You dare to disrespect our lord?
We won't be swayed by your nonsense.
Die!
Di-amon.
Spinning Shrimp Throw High Jump Assassin!
Oh, noble moon!
Let your blue light shine down
as a sign of my pledge to my beloved master.
The blue color of my nail
is proof of my loyalty.
Look how…
blue it is!
I will stain the moon crimson with the blood of our enemy, Kall-Su.
I will offer it in celebration
of the resurrection of my lord, Dark Schneider.
What?
He came back to life?
Dark Schneider?
What's this?
The temperature is dropping fast.
These are…
ice crystals.
Lord Kall-Su?
That persistent fiend.
He's back again.
Does he still insist
on defying me?
The walls are back to normal.
It's been a long time, Kall-Su.
But you're the one who's being defiant.
Your master, Dark Schneider,
has no interest in ancient junk like the God of Destruction.
And the throne on which you sit
also belongs to the great Dark Schneider.
Come forth, those who tear asunder!
Y&T! Snow Wolf Supreme Roar!
No!
That was close.
How dare you kill my dear pets?
He survived Lord Kall-Su's spell.
You bastard!
A lowly human
dares to attack a noble being like me?
Look.
The pattern on his face…
Change, Di-amon!
Now I'm even more gruesomely powerful!
Taste the true strength of a vampire!
Oh no!
Domain!
Lord Kall-Su!
Mystic ice shield! Danzigar!
He reflected it.
What?
I'm done for!
Yngwie, are you okay?
-Stay with me! -Yngwie!
I'm okay.
What about Lord Kall-Su?
Lord Kall-Su…
Well?
Enjoying the cross I carved into you with your own magic?
You're really tiny without your magic.
You reflected my spell with a mirror and lens of ice.
Not bad, Kall-Su.
Now you've revealed my hideous true form.
-Urk! -No way.
Don't worry.
I'll finish you off.
Wait, Kall-Su!
Trying to do that would be useless, useless, useless.
What did you say?
Surrender.
I'm willing to let this slide if you apologize.
Come on, have a change of heart.
Do exactly as I say--
Shut up!
Ow! That hurts!
I said I'll let it slide. Please stop!
Perish!
You're all here, Sorcerer Shogun.
Emergency war council in five minutes.
If he has returned,
there's no time to waste.
-Yes, my lord! -Yes, my lord!
You fools!
You're not all here.
Two of you have already been destroyed by Dark Schneider.
What?
Destroyed?
You mean Macapine and Ba Thory? Impossible!
That's right.
You got it exactly right.
You guys don't stand a chance.
Kall-Su!
I'll call this a draw for now.
Damn you!
Cursed monster!
Tee-hee!
Can't wait to meet again!
Dammit! Come back here!
No.
This man is not the Lord Kall-Su I know.
The real Lord Kall-Su would never reflect the enemy's spell at the expense
of the safety of one of his follower trying to save him.
Where are you going, Shella?
The war council will start soon.
Yngwie…
Doesn't this bother you?
Something is wrong with Lord Kall-Su.
Lord Kall-Su!
The road is blocked by rocks.
My most humble apologies.
Who are you?
Knight Captain of Eclipse,
Yngwie von Mattström.
On guard!
Yajo-Teioken!
Such powerful magic.
My sword skills are useless against it.
Why did you engage me in battle alone?
I will gladly accept the dishonor of being called an assassin,
if killing you would save many from dying in war.
One life for many wasn't a hard choice.
That's logical.
My goal was to whittle down Eclipse's noble military forces
and break their fighting spirit.
That goal has been accomplished.
I never intended to pillage and destroy your people's livelihoods.
If the flames of war spread any further,
the damage to the farmlands would be considerable.
Harvests would be lost,
and many would not survive the winter.
It is hard work to rule a starving populace.
Why do you not kill me?
It would be inefficient.
Do what you think is best
to save your people in the most efficient way.
He was always a reasonable man.
To help my countrymen survive the winter,
he opened the castle's supply stores,
and used the riches he had taken from the nobility.
It made me think.
What is the most efficient way to save not only this land,
but the entire world?
I found my answer…
Very well.
You may join my Sorcerer Shogun.
I expect unfaltering loyalty.
Fight for what you believe in.
Yes, my lord!
It's okay, Shella.
He was unharmed.
Yngwie…
That's all that matters to me.
That's all.
I will be loyal to Lord Kall-Su.
For what I believe in.
