00:12.676 --> 00:19.423
(Monster Eater)

01:30.077 --> 01:32.676
(Episode 8: Mana & Mana Particles)

01:32.677 --> 01:34.175
That explosion

01:34.176 --> 01:35.872
and that terrifying roar...

01:36.518 --> 01:39.727
Did those two adventurers defeat Baphomet?

01:40.282 --> 01:43.370
I'm sorry. If I hadn't been injured,

01:43.371 --> 01:46.324
at least one of us could have stayed
to fight alongside them.

01:48.275 --> 01:49.368
You're...

01:49.819 --> 01:51.871
Thank you for guiding
the villagers to safety.

01:51.872 --> 01:53.278
You're safe.

01:53.279 --> 01:56.824
Yes, we drove Baphomet away.

01:57.723 --> 02:00.419
You two drove off a monster of that level?

02:00.420 --> 02:02.222
You must be incredibly strong.

02:02.818 --> 02:05.177
We were helpless on our own.

02:05.574 --> 02:07.180
We owe you everything.

02:07.673 --> 02:10.373
But we only managed
to inflict serious injuries.

02:10.374 --> 02:13.368
If it survives,
it might attack the village again.

02:13.369 --> 02:15.925
We plan to pursue it next.

02:16.425 --> 02:19.373
So there's something
we'd like to ask of you.

02:19.374 --> 02:21.376
Anything within our power.

02:24.182 --> 02:27.819
If you have food, could you spare some?

02:27.820 --> 02:29.530
I'm hungry.

02:33.374 --> 02:34.424
I'm back.

02:35.079 --> 02:36.123
Welcome back.

02:36.520 --> 02:38.432
How are the villagers?

02:39.074 --> 02:41.523
It seems everyone evacuated safely,

02:41.524 --> 02:43.929
thanks to those two adventurers.

02:44.521 --> 02:47.227
I told them we were pursuing
the fleeing Baphomet,

02:47.228 --> 02:50.126
so they won't be suspicious
of the missing corpse.

02:50.622 --> 02:52.622
Thanks. Sorry for the trouble.

02:53.027 --> 02:54.266
Don't worry about it.

02:54.267 --> 02:56.322
As party members
we should always help each other.

02:57.322 --> 03:01.123
Alright, it seems ready.

03:01.720 --> 03:03.027
Ta-da!

03:03.028 --> 03:05.871
Baphomet stew is ready!

03:06.221 --> 03:09.529
Let's add some spices and herbs.

03:13.473 --> 03:15.119
It still has a bit of a goaty smell,

03:15.120 --> 03:17.279
but it's still pretty tasty.

03:17.678 --> 03:19.874
It looks delicious,

03:20.624 --> 03:23.020
but seeing someone eat a humanoid monster

03:23.021 --> 03:25.693
is still a bit hard to accept.

03:26.625 --> 03:30.524
Now that you mention it,
Baphomet really did resemble a human.

03:31.025 --> 03:32.174
True.

03:32.175 --> 03:34.226
It's scary how I'm getting
used to eating monsters.

03:35.085 --> 03:38.581
But the first one I ate was a Minotaur,

03:38.582 --> 03:40.370
so it's probably too late
to fuss about it now.

03:42.723 --> 03:44.223
It's a Stun Pig!

03:45.076 --> 03:48.573
Aren't monsters appearing way too often?

03:49.072 --> 03:51.171
But I'll take the opportunity

03:51.722 --> 03:54.380
to try my magic combat debut!

03:54.876 --> 03:56.179
Take this!

03:56.180 --> 03:58.032
Fireball!

04:02.675 --> 04:03.960
Nothing?

04:06.218 --> 04:08.818
You still can't cast magic?

04:08.819 --> 04:11.318
My mana is running low too,

04:11.319 --> 04:13.174
so I probably can't offer much support.

04:13.175 --> 04:14.570
Unforgivable.

04:15.874 --> 04:20.623
Do you know how much time it took
just bleeding it and removing the smell?

04:21.127 --> 04:25.222
I was planning to adjust the flavor
and savor that stew.

04:25.825 --> 04:27.720
You'll pay for this.

04:27.721 --> 04:31.068
Offer up your meat!

04:31.069 --> 04:32.427
Calm down!

04:33.025 --> 04:36.078
The Stun Pig just used the skill "Charge".

04:36.579 --> 04:40.577
It boosts its dash force,
and makes the attack quite strong.

04:40.972 --> 04:42.981
Just to be safe,

04:42.982 --> 04:46.073
we should fight from
outside the range of "Charge".

04:46.472 --> 04:48.473
So for now...

04:49.520 --> 04:51.225
Let's retreat.

04:51.226 --> 04:55.026
Darn it!

05:04.825 --> 05:06.727
Looks like we shook them off.

05:07.371 --> 05:11.624
Now, let's talk about you
not being able to use magic.

05:13.572 --> 05:18.369
I've never had a situation
where I couldn't use a skill I acquired.

05:19.122 --> 05:22.976
How does it feel to use monster skills?

05:22.977 --> 05:24.976
Same as regular skills?

05:25.522 --> 05:27.175
Well,

05:27.176 --> 05:30.268
it didn't feel much different
from regular skills.

05:30.269 --> 05:34.821
Was it a skill
like "Fireball" or "Fame Spear"?

05:34.822 --> 05:38.533
No, it was "Wisdom of Cinders".

05:39.776 --> 05:42.168
Wisdom of Cinders, huh.

05:42.169 --> 05:46.324
Could it be that you're too dumb
to comprehend the magic?

05:46.723 --> 05:48.306
That's a bit harsh.

05:48.623 --> 05:52.572
The power isn't great due to low mana,

05:52.573 --> 05:56.224
but you could use fire magic originally.

05:56.778 --> 06:00.778
For monsters, eating is equivalent
to absorbing mana particles.

06:00.779 --> 06:02.174
Could it be...

06:02.824 --> 06:05.070
To use a monster skill to cast magic,

06:05.071 --> 06:07.422
you need to control mana particles?

06:07.423 --> 06:08.920
I see.

06:08.921 --> 06:11.121
The key is mana particles,
instead of the mana.

06:11.122 --> 06:13.726
I don't know much about mana particles,

06:13.727 --> 06:16.980
but if you absorbed monsters' power...

06:16.981 --> 06:19.022
Got it. I'll try.

06:19.772 --> 06:21.277
Recall it.

06:21.882 --> 06:25.781
The torrent of power I felt
when devouring the Minotaur.

06:26.323 --> 06:29.234
Just guide that power out from my body.

06:34.578 --> 06:35.873
It worked!

06:36.382 --> 06:38.480
As long as I can feel
the mana particles inside me,

06:38.917 --> 06:41.391
I can command them
like I control my own body.

06:55.378 --> 07:00.468
Stun Pig dice-cutlet.

07:00.469 --> 07:02.371
Sorry for the wait.

07:02.372 --> 07:05.376
I know this is necessary for you,

07:05.377 --> 07:07.782
but that face of yours
looks awfully punchable.

07:08.674 --> 07:11.073
When casting magic using monster skills,

07:11.074 --> 07:13.881
it consumes mana particles,
instead of the mana.

07:13.882 --> 07:17.322
Judging by your earlier attack,
you show no signs of depleted mana particles.

07:17.323 --> 07:20.069
It seems you can store
quite a lot of mana particles.

07:21.169 --> 07:23.221
As soon as I sensed the mana particles
flowing within me,

07:23.222 --> 07:25.621
I immediately understood
how to use the skill.

07:26.080 --> 07:28.375
If mana particles can substitute for mana,

07:28.768 --> 07:33.717
perhaps I could also
enhance my body or weapon with mana.

07:33.718 --> 07:35.728
You mean Enhancement Magic?

07:36.120 --> 07:36.978
No.

07:36.979 --> 07:38.969
Strictly speaking, that's not magic.

07:38.970 --> 07:41.065
It's more like
an application of Mana Control.

07:41.473 --> 07:44.670
Like covering the whole body
with mana to strengthen it,

07:44.671 --> 07:47.472
or attaching it to a weapon
to boost attack power.

07:47.875 --> 07:51.576
I've heard skilled people
can even release flying slashes.

07:52.071 --> 07:53.275
I see.

07:53.667 --> 07:55.723
Because your mana reserves
were always low,

07:55.724 --> 07:58.630
you never had the chance
to learn this technique.

07:59.022 --> 08:03.170
My Fire Magic used to be
only good for cooking.

08:03.566 --> 08:08.475
But now I can use mana particles
instead of mana.

08:08.476 --> 08:09.723
And most importantly...

08:10.382 --> 08:14.120
I can replenish mana particles
just by eating monsters.

08:14.821 --> 08:15.969
In other words,

08:15.970 --> 08:18.416
he can absorb mana particles
through consumption

08:18.417 --> 08:21.127
and store them within his body.

08:21.674 --> 08:23.974
But that aside...

08:24.978 --> 08:28.124
This pork cutlet
looks absolutely delicious!

08:30.224 --> 08:33.380
Elysia, are you finally tempted
by monster cuisine?

08:35.524 --> 08:37.027
Not really.

08:44.876 --> 08:47.277
Looks like the boss has arrived.

08:48.320 --> 08:49.225
So fast!

08:49.226 --> 08:50.085
"Charge".

08:52.371 --> 08:53.470
Thanks.

08:54.017 --> 08:56.173
It felt far away just a moment ago,

08:56.174 --> 08:58.022
yet it charged right up to us
in the blink of an eye.

08:58.023 --> 08:59.377
What is going on?

09:00.125 --> 09:03.624
This isn't a maze,
so why is there such a high-level monster?

09:03.625 --> 09:06.426
Again and again,

09:06.427 --> 09:09.365
you ruined the meal

09:09.767 --> 09:13.264
I worked so hard to prepare.

09:15.222 --> 09:19.268
Looks like it's about to
become a roast pig now, huh?

09:19.269 --> 09:22.268
No, it has "Fire Resistance".

09:22.269 --> 09:23.873
Even if the oil splashed on it
catches fire,

09:23.874 --> 09:25.566
it didn't bother it at all.

09:26.218 --> 09:27.772
Although its Status is high,

09:27.773 --> 09:30.185
"Charge" and "Fire Resistance"
are its only skills.

09:32.023 --> 09:34.974
Skill: Wisdom of Earth.

09:34.975 --> 09:38.668
Take the punishment for wasting food!

09:40.772 --> 09:41.871
Hardening.

09:46.181 --> 09:47.370
Rudd!

09:48.721 --> 09:49.879
Cylphiid!

09:51.575 --> 09:53.726
I managed to land a hit,

09:53.727 --> 09:54.623
but...

09:55.375 --> 10:00.127
Even without skills, its thick hide
and muscles give it incredible defense.

10:00.674 --> 10:03.277
Neither Earth Magic
nor the spirit's Wind Magic

10:03.278 --> 10:05.280
is powerful enough.

10:06.478 --> 10:07.369
It's coming!

10:13.222 --> 10:15.825
Don't get distracted.

10:15.826 --> 10:18.569
Our fight isn't over yet, you darn pig.

10:19.425 --> 10:22.484
I can't use "Charge" or "Hardening" again
for a while.

10:22.971 --> 10:25.274
If this drags on,

10:25.275 --> 10:28.676
it might target Elysia instead.

10:28.677 --> 10:32.523
Right now, I lack a skill
to take it down in one go.

10:33.225 --> 10:36.219
But that thing seems only capable
of charging straight ahead

10:36.220 --> 10:37.877
with no other tricks.

10:38.524 --> 10:40.871
I've never tried this before
and have to do it in live combat,

10:40.872 --> 10:42.470
but I have no choice but to gamble.

10:43.369 --> 10:45.870
Release the mana particles inside me.

10:45.871 --> 10:47.823
Imagine channeling them into my sword.

10:50.227 --> 10:51.144
Rudd!

11:06.519 --> 11:08.017
I did it.

11:08.823 --> 11:11.171
You enhanced your weapon
by using mana particles!

11:11.172 --> 11:13.576
And you did it in actual combat
without any practice!

11:13.577 --> 11:16.320
I felt like I could do it,
so I tried enhancing my weapon.

11:16.321 --> 11:19.168
But now I feel completely
drained of mana particles...

11:23.782 --> 11:26.369
My sword!

11:26.370 --> 11:27.974
Ah...
