1
00:00:12,676 --> 00:00:19,423
(Monster Eater)

2
00:01:30,077 --> 00:01:32,676
(Episode 8: Mana & Mana Particles)

3
00:01:32,677 --> 00:01:34,175
That explosion

4
00:01:34,176 --> 00:01:35,872
and that terrifying roar...

5
00:01:36,518 --> 00:01:39,727
Did those two adventurers defeat Baphomet?

6
00:01:40,282 --> 00:01:43,370
I'm sorry. If I hadn't been injured,

7
00:01:43,371 --> 00:01:46,324
at least one of us could have stayed
to fight alongside them.

8
00:01:48,275 --> 00:01:49,368
You're...

9
00:01:49,819 --> 00:01:51,871
Thank you for guiding
the villagers to safety.

10
00:01:51,872 --> 00:01:53,278
You're safe.

11
00:01:53,279 --> 00:01:56,824
Yes, we drove Baphomet away.

12
00:01:57,723 --> 00:02:00,419
You two drove off a monster of that level?

13
00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:02,222
You must be incredibly strong.

14
00:02:02,818 --> 00:02:05,177
We were helpless on our own.

15
00:02:05,574 --> 00:02:07,180
We owe you everything.

16
00:02:07,673 --> 00:02:10,373
But we only managed
to inflict serious injuries.

17
00:02:10,374 --> 00:02:13,368
If it survives,
it might attack the village again.

18
00:02:13,369 --> 00:02:15,925
We plan to pursue it next.

19
00:02:16,425 --> 00:02:19,373
So there's something
we'd like to ask of you.

20
00:02:19,374 --> 00:02:21,376
Anything within our power.

21
00:02:24,182 --> 00:02:27,819
If you have food, could you spare some?

22
00:02:27,820 --> 00:02:29,530
I'm hungry.

23
00:02:33,374 --> 00:02:34,424
I'm back.

24
00:02:35,079 --> 00:02:36,123
Welcome back.

25
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,432
How are the villagers?

26
00:02:39,074 --> 00:02:41,523
It seems everyone evacuated safely,

27
00:02:41,524 --> 00:02:43,929
thanks to those two adventurers.

28
00:02:44,521 --> 00:02:47,227
I told them we were pursuing
the fleeing Baphomet,

29
00:02:47,228 --> 00:02:50,126
so they won't be suspicious
of the missing corpse.

30
00:02:50,622 --> 00:02:52,622
Thanks. Sorry for the trouble.

31
00:02:53,027 --> 00:02:54,266
Don't worry about it.

32
00:02:54,267 --> 00:02:56,322
As party members
we should always help each other.

33
00:02:57,322 --> 00:03:01,123
Alright, it seems ready.

34
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,027
Ta-da!

35
00:03:03,028 --> 00:03:05,871
Baphomet stew is ready!

36
00:03:06,221 --> 00:03:09,529
Let's add some spices and herbs.

37
00:03:13,473 --> 00:03:15,119
It still has a bit of a goaty smell,

38
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,279
but it's still pretty tasty.

39
00:03:17,678 --> 00:03:19,874
It looks delicious,

40
00:03:20,624 --> 00:03:23,020
but seeing someone eat a humanoid monster

41
00:03:23,021 --> 00:03:25,693
is still a bit hard to accept.

42
00:03:26,625 --> 00:03:30,524
Now that you mention it,
Baphomet really did resemble a human.

43
00:03:31,025 --> 00:03:32,174
True.

44
00:03:32,175 --> 00:03:34,226
It's scary how I'm getting
used to eating monsters.

45
00:03:35,085 --> 00:03:38,581
But the first one I ate was a Minotaur,

46
00:03:38,582 --> 00:03:40,370
so it's probably too late
to fuss about it now.

47
00:03:42,723 --> 00:03:44,223
It's a Stun Pig!

48
00:03:45,076 --> 00:03:48,573
Aren't monsters appearing way too often?

49
00:03:49,072 --> 00:03:51,171
But I'll take the opportunity

50
00:03:51,722 --> 00:03:54,380
to try my magic combat debut!

51
00:03:54,876 --> 00:03:56,179
Take this!

52
00:03:56,180 --> 00:03:58,032
Fireball!

53
00:04:02,675 --> 00:04:03,960
Nothing?

54
00:04:06,218 --> 00:04:08,818
You still can't cast magic?

55
00:04:08,819 --> 00:04:11,318
My mana is running low too,

56
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:13,174
so I probably can't offer much support.

57
00:04:13,175 --> 00:04:14,570
Unforgivable.

58
00:04:15,874 --> 00:04:20,623
Do you know how much time it took
just bleeding it and removing the smell?

59
00:04:21,127 --> 00:04:25,222
I was planning to adjust the flavor
and savor that stew.

60
00:04:25,825 --> 00:04:27,720
You'll pay for this.

61
00:04:27,721 --> 00:04:31,068
Offer up your meat!

62
00:04:31,069 --> 00:04:32,427
Calm down!

63
00:04:33,025 --> 00:04:36,078
The Stun Pig just used the skill "Charge".

64
00:04:36,579 --> 00:04:40,577
It boosts its dash force,
and makes the attack quite strong.

65
00:04:40,972 --> 00:04:42,981
Just to be safe,

66
00:04:42,982 --> 00:04:46,073
we should fight from
outside the range of "Charge".

67
00:04:46,472 --> 00:04:48,473
So for now...

68
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,225
Let's retreat.

69
00:04:51,226 --> 00:04:55,026
Darn it!

70
00:05:04,825 --> 00:05:06,727
Looks like we shook them off.

71
00:05:07,371 --> 00:05:11,624
Now, let's talk about you
not being able to use magic.

72
00:05:13,572 --> 00:05:18,369
I've never had a situation
where I couldn't use a skill I acquired.

73
00:05:19,122 --> 00:05:22,976
How does it feel to use monster skills?

74
00:05:22,977 --> 00:05:24,976
Same as regular skills?

75
00:05:25,522 --> 00:05:27,175
Well,

76
00:05:27,176 --> 00:05:30,268
it didn't feel much different
from regular skills.

77
00:05:30,269 --> 00:05:34,821
Was it a skill
like "Fireball" or "Fame Spear"?

78
00:05:34,822 --> 00:05:38,533
No, it was "Wisdom of Cinders".

79
00:05:39,776 --> 00:05:42,168
Wisdom of Cinders, huh.

80
00:05:42,169 --> 00:05:46,324
Could it be that you're too dumb
to comprehend the magic?

81
00:05:46,723 --> 00:05:48,306
That's a bit harsh.

82
00:05:48,623 --> 00:05:52,572
The power isn't great due to low mana,

83
00:05:52,573 --> 00:05:56,224
but you could use fire magic originally.

84
00:05:56,778 --> 00:06:00,778
For monsters, eating is equivalent
to absorbing mana particles.

85
00:06:00,779 --> 00:06:02,174
Could it be...

86
00:06:02,824 --> 00:06:05,070
To use a monster skill to cast magic,

87
00:06:05,071 --> 00:06:07,422
you need to control mana particles?

88
00:06:07,423 --> 00:06:08,920
I see.

89
00:06:08,921 --> 00:06:11,121
The key is mana particles,
instead of the mana.

90
00:06:11,122 --> 00:06:13,726
I don't know much about mana particles,

91
00:06:13,727 --> 00:06:16,980
but if you absorbed monsters' power...

92
00:06:16,981 --> 00:06:19,022
Got it. I'll try.

93
00:06:19,772 --> 00:06:21,277
Recall it.

94
00:06:21,882 --> 00:06:25,781
The torrent of power I felt
when devouring the Minotaur.

95
00:06:26,323 --> 00:06:29,234
Just guide that power out from my body.

96
00:06:34,578 --> 00:06:35,873
It worked!

97
00:06:36,382 --> 00:06:38,480
As long as I can feel
the mana particles inside me,

98
00:06:38,917 --> 00:06:41,391
I can command them
like I control my own body.

99
00:06:55,378 --> 00:07:00,468
Stun Pig dice-cutlet.

100
00:07:00,469 --> 00:07:02,371
Sorry for the wait.

101
00:07:02,372 --> 00:07:05,376
I know this is necessary for you,

102
00:07:05,377 --> 00:07:07,782
but that face of yours
looks awfully punchable.

103
00:07:08,674 --> 00:07:11,073
When casting magic using monster skills,

104
00:07:11,074 --> 00:07:13,881
it consumes mana particles,
instead of the mana.

105
00:07:13,882 --> 00:07:17,322
Judging by your earlier attack,
you show no signs of depleted mana particles.

106
00:07:17,323 --> 00:07:20,069
It seems you can store
quite a lot of mana particles.

107
00:07:21,169 --> 00:07:23,221
As soon as I sensed the mana particles
flowing within me,

108
00:07:23,222 --> 00:07:25,621
I immediately understood
how to use the skill.

109
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,375
If mana particles can substitute for mana,

110
00:07:28,768 --> 00:07:33,717
perhaps I could also
enhance my body or weapon with mana.

111
00:07:33,718 --> 00:07:35,728
You mean Enhancement Magic?

112
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:36,978
No.

113
00:07:36,979 --> 00:07:38,969
Strictly speaking, that's not magic.

114
00:07:38,970 --> 00:07:41,065
It's more like
an application of Mana Control.

115
00:07:41,473 --> 00:07:44,670
Like covering the whole body
with mana to strengthen it,

116
00:07:44,671 --> 00:07:47,472
or attaching it to a weapon
to boost attack power.

117
00:07:47,875 --> 00:07:51,576
I've heard skilled people
can even release flying slashes.

118
00:07:52,071 --> 00:07:53,275
I see.

119
00:07:53,667 --> 00:07:55,723
Because your mana reserves
were always low,

120
00:07:55,724 --> 00:07:58,630
you never had the chance
to learn this technique.

121
00:07:59,022 --> 00:08:03,170
My Fire Magic used to be
only good for cooking.

122
00:08:03,566 --> 00:08:08,475
But now I can use mana particles
instead of mana.

123
00:08:08,476 --> 00:08:09,723
And most importantly...

124
00:08:10,382 --> 00:08:14,120
I can replenish mana particles
just by eating monsters.

125
00:08:14,821 --> 00:08:15,969
In other words,

126
00:08:15,970 --> 00:08:18,416
he can absorb mana particles
through consumption

127
00:08:18,417 --> 00:08:21,127
and store them within his body.

128
00:08:21,674 --> 00:08:23,974
But that aside...

129
00:08:24,978 --> 00:08:28,124
This pork cutlet
looks absolutely delicious!

130
00:08:30,224 --> 00:08:33,380
Elysia, are you finally tempted
by monster cuisine?

131
00:08:35,524 --> 00:08:37,027
Not really.

132
00:08:44,876 --> 00:08:47,277
Looks like the boss has arrived.

133
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,225
So fast!

134
00:08:49,226 --> 00:08:50,085
"Charge".

135
00:08:52,371 --> 00:08:53,470
Thanks.

136
00:08:54,017 --> 00:08:56,173
It felt far away just a moment ago,

137
00:08:56,174 --> 00:08:58,022
yet it charged right up to us
in the blink of an eye.

138
00:08:58,023 --> 00:08:59,377
What is going on?

139
00:09:00,125 --> 00:09:03,624
This isn't a maze,
so why is there such a high-level monster?

140
00:09:03,625 --> 00:09:06,426
Again and again,

141
00:09:06,427 --> 00:09:09,365
you ruined the meal

142
00:09:09,767 --> 00:09:13,264
I worked so hard to prepare.

143
00:09:15,222 --> 00:09:19,268
Looks like it's about to
become a roast pig now, huh?

144
00:09:19,269 --> 00:09:22,268
No, it has "Fire Resistance".

145
00:09:22,269 --> 00:09:23,873
Even if the oil splashed on it
catches fire,

146
00:09:23,874 --> 00:09:25,566
it didn't bother it at all.

147
00:09:26,218 --> 00:09:27,772
Although its Status is high,

148
00:09:27,773 --> 00:09:30,185
"Charge" and "Fire Resistance"
are its only skills.

149
00:09:32,023 --> 00:09:34,974
Skill: Wisdom of Earth.

150
00:09:34,975 --> 00:09:38,668
Take the punishment for wasting food!

151
00:09:40,772 --> 00:09:41,871
Hardening.

152
00:09:46,181 --> 00:09:47,370
Rudd!

153
00:09:48,721 --> 00:09:49,879
Cylphiid!

154
00:09:51,575 --> 00:09:53,726
I managed to land a hit,

155
00:09:53,727 --> 00:09:54,623
but...

156
00:09:55,375 --> 00:10:00,127
Even without skills, its thick hide
and muscles give it incredible defense.

157
00:10:00,674 --> 00:10:03,277
Neither Earth Magic
nor the spirit's Wind Magic

158
00:10:03,278 --> 00:10:05,280
is powerful enough.

159
00:10:06,478 --> 00:10:07,369
It's coming!

160
00:10:13,222 --> 00:10:15,825
Don't get distracted.

161
00:10:15,826 --> 00:10:18,569
Our fight isn't over yet, you darn pig.

162
00:10:19,425 --> 00:10:22,484
I can't use "Charge" or "Hardening" again
for a while.

163
00:10:22,971 --> 00:10:25,274
If this drags on,

164
00:10:25,275 --> 00:10:28,676
it might target Elysia instead.

165
00:10:28,677 --> 00:10:32,523
Right now, I lack a skill
to take it down in one go.

166
00:10:33,225 --> 00:10:36,219
But that thing seems only capable
of charging straight ahead

167
00:10:36,220 --> 00:10:37,877
with no other tricks.

168
00:10:38,524 --> 00:10:40,871
I've never tried this before
and have to do it in live combat,

169
00:10:40,872 --> 00:10:42,470
but I have no choice but to gamble.

170
00:10:43,369 --> 00:10:45,870
Release the mana particles inside me.

171
00:10:45,871 --> 00:10:47,823
Imagine channeling them into my sword.

172
00:10:50,227 --> 00:10:51,144
Rudd!

173
00:11:06,519 --> 00:11:08,017
I did it.

174
00:11:08,823 --> 00:11:11,171
You enhanced your weapon
by using mana particles!

175
00:11:11,172 --> 00:11:13,576
And you did it in actual combat
without any practice!

176
00:11:13,577 --> 00:11:16,320
I felt like I could do it,
so I tried enhancing my weapon.

177
00:11:16,321 --> 00:11:19,168
But now I feel completely
drained of mana particles...

178
00:11:23,782 --> 00:11:26,369
My sword!

179
00:11:26,370 --> 00:11:27,974
Ah...
