Hold on, Zero.
I'll definitely keep my promise and get you out!
Listen.
It's the sound of the midnight clock.
It's your birthday,
my little princess.
You can't die here.
I...
I'll definitely get you out of here!
The trigger's jammed.
Is this where you will die, Renata?
Swift here.
Black Swan Bay is burning.
Nearly all of the buildings have been destroyed.
It looks like there's no going back.
I received an order from above to start Operation Swan Death.
Remember, not even a single strand of hair can leave Black Swan Bay!
Roger.
White Stork, there are still survivors in the port.
Do they need rescuing?
No matter who they are, wipe them out.
You must make sure everyone is dead!
I haven't given you my gift yet.
How can you die?
A lovely flower shouldn't freeze to death on this damned snowy night.
Come.
Accept this gift from the king.
Open your very first present.
From now on, your destiny
will no longer end in this blizzard.
Let's renew our contract.
From now on, I'll always keep you at my side.
I'll never give up,
never leave.
You must live well,
and always be useful to me.
White Stork, a strange ball of light has appeared in the smoke.
Damn it!
Are there any survivors?
Wipe them out right now!
Roger.
Wiping them out right now.
The king's language will cause reincarnation.
He will erase the records on the inscription.
He will erase your death.
Do not die!
Hear your king. Now rewind.
No words engraved on the stone.
No souls resting beneath the earth.
Rise again!
Lie still.
The starlight is the tomb.
The earth is the stage.
The wind, the cheers and the thunder, the applause.
This is what magic should be like.
Reality is crueler than fairy tales,
but much more beautiful.
Don't you agree?
Sometimes I pity you,
but most of the time,
your stupidity is unforgivable!
After a millennium,
Satan will be released from prison!
What...
...on earth are you?
That kid is flying!
What the hell is he?
Fire all missiles!
Fire! Quick! Fire!
Awaken, beast!
A direct hit!
That thing must be dead.
That's...
-The Mourner's Eyes-
Episode 1
Having escaped from Black Swan Bay, test subjects Zero and Renata
are on a mountain road outside of Blagoveshchensk.
Target destination is unknown.
We're being tracked.
I don't have time to deal with that.
Your body...
It's fine.
Should we attack?
No.
This area is the territory of the Caduceus Organization,
an organization always hidden in the shadows.
No one has actually seen them,
but they always leave a caduceus symbol behind after they strike,
so we call them the "Caduceus Organization."
Test subject Zero’s power is severely lacking; however,
it's enough to deal with their pursuers.
Notify the execution bureau.
All nearby specialist executives of rank A or higher are to assemble immediately.
This time, it's a S-rank mission.
I still don't think you should participate in this mission,
since you're pregnant.
Test subject Zero is very likely one of the Dragon Kings.
I can't miss an opportunity to contact him.
Also, without me, none of you in the Execution Bureau can catch him.
Okay.
I will protect you and our child.
Cassel's Qiguo branch is assembled.
Awaiting target location.
The target location will be the icy lake in the mountains.
Roger.
We will go there immediately.
What's up?
I hear hooves approaching.
I can't hear them.
We should be out of danger for now.
Then what should we do?
I want to go to Xinguo.
Xinguo?
Xinguo is south of Qiguo.
It's very warm there.
There are four seasons in a year.
Flowers bloom in three of them.
There are thousands of different flowers.
In spring, there are different colored flowers blooming in every valley.
I'll show you.
Then we'll go south to Xinguo,
where it'll be warmer.
Also, the power I need is there.
They...
...have revived.
I'll come with you,
but how will we get there?
We'll follow this black railway,
and try our luck to catch a train.
You...
I'm fine.
If we crawl into an oil tanker,
we'll be there when we wake up.
Let's go.
This train doesn't have power.
We can use the wind as power,
and fire as electricity.
The heat in the ground and wings in the sky
are like my hands and feet.
Activate!
Sit here and wait for me.
Where are you going?
To deal with the pursuers.
Is it that god you mentioned?
No. With this train, he can't catch up to us for now,
but the ants under his command are close.
White Stork, White Stork.
Target identified.
Fire at will.
Past the icy lake ahead is Cassel College's territory.
They must not reach it!
Order received.
Everyone, open fire!
Take the king's words as the order.
Lightning, flash for your king.
Lava, burn with your king.
Light, air, and all elements,
follow me, follow your king.
Heavens and earth, bow to the power of my words!
Bring me the wind!
The sky is full of tornadoes.
There's... no way we can continue with the mission.
Thunder, come!
Oh, no! Now there's lightning!
We're being attacked by lightning!
Fire, come!
Become a giant python and strangle the sky!
No... No!
Ice!
Shatter!
It's a bit windy.
Shall we move to a different carriage?
Your hand...
It's fine.
It was just the skin.
Thank you.
Principal,
the train should arrive earlier than expected.
Many specialists have not yet assembled.
It's fine.
Lu Lincheng, Giovanna, where are you?
We're nearby.
We can meet you in five minutes.
Good.
Students,
according to the intel,
there's a Dragon King on the train you're about to attack.
We don't know which of the four he is,
but there's no doubt he's a terrifying foe whom we've never seen before.
In a few minutes,
all of you might be injured,
or even die in battle.
But in order for humans to eventually eliminate the Dragon Raja,
please put your bodies and lives on the line.
Your glory and blood shall be scattered across the land,
and will co-exist with the future of humanity.
Commence...
the mission!
Attack!
Someone has broken into the train.
127 people, all hybrids.
You...
Close your eyes.
You won't want to see what's coming next.
Okay.
They need this train to escape from the Caduceus Organization.
He won't use a major Yanling inside the carriage.
Hybrid bastards.
The king doesn't need...
a Yanling to kill you!
Next!
Kneel!
Bloodline Suppression...
Bastards,
as long as dragon blood flows within you,
you are unable to disobey my commands!
Forcefully using human blood to suppress dragon blood
and overcome Bloodline Suppression?
Shatter!
Your location is my location!
Yanling: Distance Control!
Burn.
Your body is dirty.
Let me clean you up.
Do it when I come back.
I'll sort out the rest of them at the front.
With rage, my bones and hair,
become steel whips to destroy the enemy!
Everything before me, vaporize!
Yanling: Evaporate!
In this era,
even a Yanling like Evaporate is used for combat.
My fist shall solidify everything.
Yanling: Petrify!
Yanling—
Don't embarrass yourself.
As per the contract,
I am the companion of steel!
Yanling: Steel Share!
This is how you use Steel Share.
As per the commandment,
I am the master of steel.
Yanling: Steel Share!
The curved crown defies logic, and the earth becomes the sky.
Yanling: Reversal!
Yanling which control gravity are best kept sealed
and only used sparingly.
How are you?
This body can't handle much more.
Wait for my signal,
and open my first gift to you.
Don't worry.
This is only a preview.
The real show... is about to begin.
Our forces have almost been wiped out.
The intel is wrong.
The enemy is far stronger than expected.
Lu Lincheng, Giovanna,
your new orders are to delay them.
You mustn't let them step foot in Xinguo.
Wait for my next order.
If we could've gotten here earlier,
maybe there wouldn't have been so many sacrifices.
Just the... two of you?
Honestly...
So reckless.
A hybrid, and a pregnant woman.
Honestly, so reckless.
Are you a hero?
That's just a fairy tale ants made up for themselves.
What a shame.
Ants always wake up too late from their dreams.
It doesn't take two people.
I alone am enough to stop this train and derail your plan.
So much confidence!
I love it.
But you should turn around and have a look.
We'll be at the Xinguo border in two minutes.
Do you think there's still a chance?
We plan to have iron pot stew and take a bath.
Why so nervous?
Two minutes... will be plenty.
So it's like that.
Delay tactics.
Waiting for your main squad to arrive?
They're here to stop us from reaching Xinguo.
We must fight quickly.
Mantis Barrier!
It's time to end your rampage!
My Yanling can penetrate anything
and wipe out all life.
It's unblockable.
Yanling from the heavens.
Extracting highly radioactive rare metals from the earth,
which can penetrate all lifeforms and destroy all existence.
That's very powerful.
Concentrate.
Release!
Fool.
You know I'm not affected by Yanling.
Yanling: Dark Light!
Refraction!
Our goal is to delay you.
You must have a reason to escape with a little girl.
I bet you will save her!
Renata,
open the gift!
Yan...ling:
Mirror Pupil.
Copy. Dark Light.
Refraction.
Copying Yanling? Watch out!
Game over.
You lose.
Go to hell with the Yanling that you're so proud of.
The entire family of three.
Yanling: Zero Time!
You finally showed up.
They were waiting for you.
Old man...
Working hard despite your hair going gray.
Sending youngsters to fight your battles in your old age?
What a pity.
Aren't you disappointed with this world?
Isn't it sad?
You're the one who's disappointed.
It's a shame you're only one minute away.
But don't look down on the elderly.
You tricked my honest students, but you cannot trick me.
You're the one who's dying.
No, you're not human.
You're a monster.
In this single minute,
say your last words.
Using your lovely students as cannon fodder to grind me down.
What's that saying they have in Xinguo?
The elderly are extremely sly and cunning.
I should applaud you,
using bones as drumsticks and lies as drums.
But enough of the drama.
This body has indeed reached its limit.
Old man...
Believe it or not, I can replace this blizzard with scenery from hell
before you can even blink.
Perhaps...
you'd like the scenery there.
There's no point in killing me.
Backup will be here soon.
In any case, you will not escape today.
Having killed so many of my students,
I am going to have you two monsters
torn apart, from skin to bone.
Grandpa,
you're getting old.
You should learn to cherish life.
However,
I dislike both sides suffering losses.
I know what you want.
Today is Renata's birthday.
I don't want to spoil her day.
Let's make a deal.
Agree to my conditions,
and I'll give you this big gift.
The Dragon Raja cannot be trusted.
The Dragon Raja values promises the most.
The king never lies.
There's something in here that you've been searching for.
But even if you want to break into it,
it's impossible.
As for the key, don't worry.
It will find you sooner or later.
What are your conditions?
Take care of Renata for me.
When the time comes,
you will get what you want.
From now on,
she will be my most cherished student.
This is my second birthday gift to you.
I haven't decided on the third one yet.
Let's wait until spring, when the flowers bloom.
Little princess,
I need to sleep now.
You are mine.
From now on,
you will take my name: Zero.
Live on,
Zero.
Actually, I already tried my best.
But Principal, you know how fast bikes are.
I really didn't mean it.
Oh, yes. Has the secret of the Dragon King been obtained?
With you here, Principal, it won't be a problem.
I got it.
As expected of the Principal!
Your next mission.
Take a helicopter to Xinguo immediately.
Your new identity is a hired driver.
Remember, you must keep this briefcase,
until I need you again.
Find a girlfriend in Xinguo,
and start a family.
Pretend to be a normal person.
Are drivers treated well?
No.
I knew it.
Don't worry.
The briefcase is definitely safe with me.
Chu Tianjiao.
I'm sorry.
Find a girlfriend...
The principal looks down on me too much.
Old man, I'll surprise you!
Zihang, good boy.
Zihang is such a good boy!
He has black hair, like you.
Let's give him a Chinese name.
Let's call him...
Lu Mingfei.
