Yoko!
Hello? Where are you?
Oh, it's Yoko's butt!
Yes! Hi, Yoko!
You're…
Lucien!
Where have you been?
Is it really you?
On our way back from the ninja fortress,
you just disappeared.
I was worried about you.
Yoko!
Why did you yell…
just now…
THE PROGENITOR
You guys really scared me!
-Our apologies, milady. -We heard you scream, so…
Well, you're here to protect me.
It's okay.
Lucien saw me too.
But why did he run off, anyway?
Well, I suppose this means my mission is complete.
Yoko, if I may ask a sensitive question,
is that boy really, you know…
Yes, this is my Lucien.
This boy is the true form of the legendary wizard Dark Schneider?
Who's that baby dragon?
You're Lars from Gara's fortress, aren't you?
Agya.
Ninja Master Gara?
This is too convenient. It could be a trap.
It's not like that. Gara is a pervert,
but he's not a bad guy.
I don't sense any evil in this dragon.
I've got a really good sense for these things.
Please trust me.
If you say so, Yoko.
But his name is Lars?
Just like our Princess Sheila's older brother.
It's kind of ironic.
In order to defeat Dark Schneider in the war 15 years ago,
Prince Lars Ul Meta-llicana used a forbidden secret art.
He became the Dragon Warrior from the legend.
With the other four knights, including Geo,
he saved the four kingdoms on this continent.
They say Dark Schneider killed him,
but no one really knows.
The stuff of legend.
Imagine if that baby dragon were Prince Lars reincarnated!
That's a good one!
Count Di-amon.
I have brought the village girls you requested.
I've been waiting.
I trust they are all virgins
as per my request. Right, Jodoh?
Yes, just as promised.
Behold, Count Di-amon!
Well…
Are you pleased, Count Di-amon?
Can you see now
that I am loyal to you?
Two of the Three Sorcerer Generals
have been defeated by Dark Schneider.
But I, Di-amon, will not lose!
Not with my immortal body
and eternal life!
I equal even Empress Nei!
To further strengthen my magic,
I need the blood of young virgins.
Do you understand, Jodoh?
Certainly!
Do you now?
Then tell me,
why is that girl not a virgin?
No way! How did you know?
This won't do, Jodoh.
I simply cannot abide people
who don't keep their promises.
No, wait! There must be some mistake!
I will suck your blood!
That was disgusting.
I wonder how the other virgin hunters are doing.
I can't wait to find out.
What a haul!
They all smell like virgins.
Look at that beautiful moon!
My blood boils!
Come closer, or you'll catch a cold.
What is this evil aura?
Everyone, get up!
I found you!
What is this guy?
A werewolf?
I smell a virgin!
This is incredible!
Such high quality!
Protect Yoko!
Out of my way!
You'd be wasted on the count.
I'll eat you myself.
Hey, scumbag!
Keep your filthy paws off Yoko!
What's your problem, kid?
Touch her and I'll kill you!
You mutt!
That's not Lucien's voice!
You must be crazy, kid!
I'll crush you first.
You stink, mutt!
Say what?
Get your stinky face away from me!
This aura. You damn brat!
You're not just any human.
It's like the night Gara abducted me.
He's not himself.
Are you a magician?
Dumbass. An animal like you shouldn't mess with humans.
Stay still so I can turn you into mincemeat.
Did you call me an animal?
You're the one who's going to die, brat!
Wolf Fang Thunder Fist!
You idiot!
Magicians can't do shit
without the time to cast their spells!
Back when I was a human, I was a martial artist.
In wolf form, my speed
is far beyond that of a fragile magician!
How dare you call me a mutt? I'm beautiful!
He'll die. Even if his mind is Dark Schneider,
he's still in Lucien's body!
This is it. Prepare to die!
Small fry like you
can't keep hogging screen time.
You'll confuse the viewers!
Apologize, mutt!
Dark Schneider is definitely in that kid.
But what is going on?
How can you be so strong?
Are you really a magician?
What? You want to see some magic?
No…
Okay, then I'll show you!
No, don't!
Zaazard, Zaazard, Schrono, Chronossk…
That spell…
-Hellfire burning in the pitch-black mist… -What? No way!
Don't tell me you're…
-No way! -Become my sword and destroy my enemy!
Venom!
You're still alive?
Way to go, werewolf!
You've got so much life force! Wow!
So this is the power of magic.
It hurts!
Shut the hell up!
Now, what's the most painful way to kill you?
Please don't hurt me!
Don't kill me! Count Di-amon!
I knew it! You're the count's dog!
And only one kind of count
would employ a werewolf to hunt down virgins for him.
He's a vampire, right?
A vampire?
But one thing bothers me.
Vampires are among the strongest of the undead.
According to Kai Harn, that count
turned himself into a vampire using magic.
Which makes him a Progenitor.
Why would someone with that much power
be Arshes's subordinate?
Kai Harn? Arshes?
The count
needs high-quality virgin blood to further strengthen his magic
so he can overthrow Kall-Su and Arshes.
Am I wrong?
If you don't tell me, I'll kill you.
I'll tell you! Please don't kill me!
Sure. I'm a man of my word.
Now tell me.
You…
You're right--
A vampire. This could get troublesome.
Hey, Lucien!
That was awful, even if he was an enemy.
-Besides-- -Just shut up!
You're lecturing me first thing after our reunion?
Why did you disappear on the way back from the ninja fortress?
What have you been up to?
Why did you turn back into Lucien?
Explain or we're through!
Lucien?
What?
You mentioned Kai Harn and Arshes.
Who are they?
You have to tell me or I won't sleep next to you anymore.
You used to be so kind and obedient…
So Dark Schneider
hasn't been completely revived.
He has been sealed inside a boy called Lucien.
So that's how it is.
How interesting.
Long ago, there was a legendary wizard who commanded an enormous dark army.
He was Dark Schneider.
Fifteen years ago,
he led his four disciples
in a four-year-long war against the four kingdoms on the continent.
Using fearsome magic spells,
he could even change the weather.
Even though he was a magician,
he had the physique of a mighty warrior.
With every reincarnation, his magic grew,
and he discarded his old body.
Under normal circumstances,
even I would not stand a chance against him.
But if Dark Schneider
has not been completely revived,
I have a chance at victory!
Isn't that right, Jodoh?
Of course!
Who is the most splendid?
Who is the wisest?
Who is the fairest?
It's me, the world's strongest count!
One of the Three Sorcerer Generals,
none other than I,
Di-amon!
Isn't that right, Jodoh?
Indeed!
What is it now?
A monster?
Oh, give me a break! What is that?
Crap! That shock woke up Lucien Renlen!
What?
Hey, wait!
A ghost!
I see.
You can only be Dark Schneider in that form
while the boy is asleep.
-Seize them! -Right!
Yoko!
I'm scared!
Why do you always crack when things get serious?
I'm scared!
Not only have I captured the legendary wizard,
but I got myself three beautiful virgins too.
Three?
I, Count Di-amon,
am going to enjoy this night.
Isn't that right, Jodoh?
Of course!
Those two women!
Get a move on!
You traitors.
Welcome to my humble abode.
My fellow Sorcerer Generals,
Sean Ari,
and Kai Harn.
Even though you were defeated,
you could have died graciously.
Instead, you surrendered to the enemy to save your own skin.
I can no longer consider you comrades.
Count Di-amon, it was very difficult to capture these two.
Really?
You've done surprisingly well, Jodoh!
You have both grown beautifully.
A few years ago, you were immature wenches.
And you've become a monster.
You used to be a decent human.
You're as rude as ever.
Now I'm going to execute you traitors.
Shut up, monster!
The only traitor here
is you!
What?
You thought your lackeys could capture us?
But…
We pretended to be captured so you would take us here.
What…
Jodoh!
You've screwed up again!
Wait! Please!
Forgive me, Count Di-amon!
If I lose any more blood…
Please don't suck my blood!
Don't do it!
Too bad!
Let me go!
Oh, crap! A vampire?
Blood!
With your fresh, quality blood,
my magic power will grow even stronger.
I'll surpass even Empress Nei and Lord Kall-Su!
It won't be that easy, monster!
Here we come, Di-amon!
Secret Talisman Magic!
Rasho Red Hot Waltz!
Secret Hariken Sword Style!
Dragon Blast Demon Slash!
We got him!
A combination of magic and sword.
Not even a vampire could…
What's happening?
His wounds are closing so fast!
Impossible! All those flames didn't even singe him!
Ignorance is a sin!
Did you not know
that a vampire's body is virtually immortal?
Now hold still and wait.
I will suck your blood!
I didn't want to do this in such a cliché way, but…
There's no choice.
Hey, Di-amon! Take a look at this!
Is that garlic and a crucifix?!
The things vampires fear
more than anything
in the world!
-What? -That doesn't work!
That won't work on me!
What? It can't be!
Do something, Lucien! He'll kill them!
Kai!
Amazing! This blood! This taste!
This rich texture!
This thick,
sweet aroma that melts on my tongue!
Just what I expected from the blood of a Sorcerer General!
Stop it!
You'll get your turn soon.
Just wait!
With your exquisite blood,
my powers will grow even stronger
than both Empress Nei and Lord Kall-Su!
Di-amon!
You really are going to betray Empress Nei!
The strongest and greatest rules.
That is the law of nature.
The weak
can never rule the strong.
Empress Nei and Lord Kall-Su are no exception.
That's how it is.
Your twisted delusions are entertaining,
but they'll never come true.
Delusions?
Even if your magic grows,
Dark Schneider will destroy you.
That's right. Dark Schneider called Empress Nei his old friend.
He's going to clean up her mess.
He will destroy you no matter what!
For Empress Nei's sake!
If only he were here…
What did she say?
Who are these people?
You fool!
Your precious lifeline is right there!
Look!
It's strung up inside that cage!
What?
Have you gone insane--
Ignorance is a sin!
Didn't you know that Dark Schneider
was not completely revived
but is sealed inside that child's body?
What?
That can't be true.
What should I do? While Lucien is awake,
Dark Schneider is completely sealed away.
Without the spell and the kiss,
the seal can't be broken.
So that's how it is.
Now it makes sense.
After the battle,
Geo Noto Soto foresaw Dark Schneider's revival.
He tracked down his reincarnation, Lucien Renlen,
and sealed his powers and identity in the baby.
As a result, the baby that should have been born as Dark Schneider,
grew up as Lucien Renlen.
If my speculation is correct,
then the two identities
that should have been merged into one soul and body are coexisting.
But if that's true…
