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

01:30.083 --> 01:33.418
(Episode 9: G'hram, the Cursed Blade)

01:34.124 --> 01:36.471
My sword!

01:36.472 --> 01:38.122
Oh my...

01:42.827 --> 01:46.484
I've used this sword for a long time.
It was inevitable.

01:46.485 --> 01:49.631
It couldn't handle the amount
of mana particles you infused.

01:50.123 --> 01:53.122
A weapon is as important
as the life to an adventurer.

01:53.123 --> 01:54.937
I understand you're upset.

01:54.938 --> 01:57.669
Let's end the testing for today.

01:57.670 --> 01:59.866
At least the sword
didn't break during the battle.

01:59.867 --> 02:01.628
That's fortunate.

02:02.028 --> 02:03.424
Anyway,

02:03.425 --> 02:05.528
let me harvest its meat first.

02:05.529 --> 02:07.024
Okay.

02:19.376 --> 02:23.019
The advanced species of Miasma Rat,
the King Plague Rat,

02:23.020 --> 02:25.728
is a tough opponent.

02:26.269 --> 02:30.122
But not tough enough against our teamwork.

02:30.123 --> 02:31.220
Yeah.

02:34.067 --> 02:35.893
Kill him...

02:36.979 --> 02:38.270
What's wrong?

02:38.271 --> 02:39.031
Nothing.

02:39.421 --> 02:41.526
I Just thought
I heard something over there.

02:43.027 --> 02:46.673
Hey... were there stairs here before?

02:46.674 --> 02:49.176
Is it a hidden passage?

02:49.177 --> 02:50.473
Let's go check it out.

02:57.919 --> 03:00.776
This doesn't look like a trap.

03:00.777 --> 03:03.848
What's inside? Treasure?

03:05.572 --> 03:07.477
It looks like a strong sword.

03:08.021 --> 03:10.172
This sword is emanating mana.

03:10.173 --> 03:11.723
It will definitely go for a good price.

03:12.383 --> 03:14.016
Mana...

03:14.017 --> 03:16.724
Could it be some kind of cursed sword?

03:16.725 --> 03:20.324
Rigurdo, don't be such a downer.

03:20.821 --> 03:22.825
Think about it.

03:22.826 --> 03:25.670
Lately, there's been no sign
of the Miasma Scavenger.

03:25.671 --> 03:29.325
Life is hard now that we've lost
the easy way to make money.

03:29.877 --> 03:33.726
This must be a reward for our hard work.

03:33.727 --> 03:35.319
Y... you're right.

03:35.320 --> 03:37.626
We've been exploring the maze this late.

03:37.627 --> 03:39.327
We deserve some kind of reward.

03:39.979 --> 03:42.770
By the way, I heard that Miasma Scavenger

03:42.771 --> 03:47.474
has been with a stunning elf girl.

03:47.475 --> 03:50.465
He's getting pretty cocky.

03:50.466 --> 03:54.475
Next time we see him,
let's have him know his place.

03:54.476 --> 04:01.020
Kill him...

04:05.825 --> 04:08.522
The sword breaking is frustrating.

04:08.523 --> 04:11.979
But this might be a chance
to get a new weapon.

04:11.980 --> 04:14.426
But with the way you use it,

04:14.427 --> 04:17.627
the weapon has to be strong enough
to withstand the mana particles you infuse.

04:18.568 --> 04:21.524
I actually have a lead on that.

04:22.422 --> 04:25.722
I'll consult
with the weapons shop owner I know.

04:28.521 --> 04:32.126
A sword I forged shattered like this...

04:32.523 --> 04:36.321
Brute force alone shouldn't cause this.

04:36.774 --> 04:38.968
Rudd...

04:38.969 --> 04:42.277
What did you pour into this sword?

04:43.177 --> 04:45.019
How will you explain this?

04:45.020 --> 04:46.626
The truth.

04:47.275 --> 04:50.071
I've known Master Doyem for a long time.

04:50.072 --> 04:53.481
He isn't one to leak a customer's secrets.

04:54.022 --> 04:55.127
Besides...

04:55.717 --> 04:59.225
If I don't be honest with him,
he can't make the weapon I want.

05:05.224 --> 05:08.621
Gaining mana particles
by devouring monsters...

05:09.569 --> 05:13.816
No wonder your power
has grown so dramatically, Rudd.

05:13.817 --> 05:15.025
You could tell?

05:15.026 --> 05:18.519
How many years have I looked after you?

05:18.520 --> 05:22.070
I could tell at a glance.

05:22.071 --> 05:24.068
You seem pretty calm about it.

05:24.069 --> 05:28.020
It doesn't matter to me what people eat.

05:28.527 --> 05:29.786
Compared to that,

05:29.787 --> 05:33.676
I'm more shocked
that a sword I forged broke.

05:34.074 --> 05:36.674
Even though Rudd has gotten stronger,

05:36.675 --> 05:40.623
the sword shouldn't have broken
if he used it normally.

05:42.978 --> 05:47.423
A sword that can withstand
infused mana particles...

05:48.074 --> 05:51.019
Even I haven't forged a weapon like that.

05:51.020 --> 05:54.771
I'll need to do some researching.
It'll probably take quite some time.

05:55.173 --> 05:56.176
I see.

05:56.672 --> 05:58.921
It was a cheeky request to begin with.

05:59.318 --> 06:01.323
Any materials you need?

06:01.324 --> 06:05.174
A few high-quality magic stones
would be very helpful.

06:05.175 --> 06:07.669
Well, I happen to have some here.

06:09.620 --> 06:12.624
General Lizard, Baphomet,

06:12.625 --> 06:15.528
and Minotaur's magic stones.

06:16.421 --> 06:20.222
You really have gotten much stronger.

06:20.223 --> 06:23.573
I'm happy to hear you say that.

06:23.574 --> 06:27.674
If I need other materials,
I'll ask you for help.

06:28.080 --> 06:30.777
Use this sword for now.

06:30.778 --> 06:31.920
Thanks a lot.

06:31.921 --> 06:33.873
Whatever you do,

06:34.268 --> 06:36.467
don't infuse it with mana particles!

06:37.220 --> 06:39.118
If you break this sword too,

06:39.119 --> 06:42.228
I'll make sure you pay for it.

06:46.768 --> 06:50.124
You won't be able to
use mana particles for a while.

06:50.523 --> 06:51.971
Yeah.

06:51.972 --> 06:54.226
The sword breaking is one thing,

06:54.227 --> 06:56.022
but losing my weapon outright in battle

06:56.023 --> 06:57.427
would be a much bigger issue.

06:58.379 --> 07:03.476
Master Doyem can get scary
when it comes to weapons.

07:03.477 --> 07:04.720
Yeah.

07:04.721 --> 07:09.075
A craftsman like him is precious.
Try not to anger him.

07:09.481 --> 07:13.226
I didn't mean to make him angry.

07:13.227 --> 07:16.723
The sword breaking was an accident.

07:16.724 --> 07:19.119
Although a lot happened,

07:19.120 --> 07:22.273
I was still happy to meet your friend.

07:22.274 --> 07:24.282
Sorry that I don't have many friends.

07:25.068 --> 07:29.518
Hey, it seems like you're having fun.

07:29.519 --> 07:33.327
Let us join in, Miasma Scavenger.

07:33.725 --> 07:35.429
It's you guys again...

07:36.525 --> 07:38.375
If you have any complaints,

07:38.376 --> 07:41.583
then settle it over drinks
like proper adventurers!

07:42.882 --> 07:44.519
Hey... Llond?

07:44.520 --> 07:47.423
Did you sneak off to drink?

07:47.424 --> 07:50.622
Wait, Llond...

07:51.026 --> 07:52.574
Didn't you sell that sword?

07:52.575 --> 08:01.823
Kill him...

08:01.824 --> 08:04.725
Shut up!

08:07.878 --> 08:09.782
Magnus?

08:14.269 --> 08:18.579
It seems like we can't settle this
just by drinking.

08:19.173 --> 08:21.571
What on earth are you doing here?

08:21.572 --> 08:22.923
Throw him out!

08:27.123 --> 08:28.283
Sir.

08:28.284 --> 08:29.320
Excuse me.

08:29.321 --> 08:31.525
I'm going to break down this wall.

08:38.472 --> 08:40.674
What's wrong with that guy?

08:42.427 --> 08:48.032
Kill...

08:48.470 --> 08:50.972
Elysia, did you hold back just now?

08:50.973 --> 08:53.124
I wasn't using my full strength.

08:53.527 --> 08:58.572
But that should have been enough
to put down an ordinary adventurer.

09:00.526 --> 09:02.526
I'll kill you!

09:02.527 --> 09:03.867
This looks like trouble.

09:03.868 --> 09:07.038
Anyone with healing magic,
go treat the wounded!

09:15.968 --> 09:18.087
Rudd, dodge to the side!

09:18.088 --> 09:20.122
I'm going all out this time.

09:25.776 --> 09:27.575
That sword absorbed my attack?

09:28.123 --> 09:29.423
That sword...

09:31.971 --> 09:33.773
Rudd, be careful!

09:33.774 --> 09:35.176
That's a Cursed Sword!

09:35.579 --> 09:37.180
Hey...

09:37.181 --> 09:39.819
That sword gets stronger
after absorbing magic.

09:44.025 --> 09:45.923
Too heavy...

09:55.221 --> 09:57.616
That crimson tentacle-like thing

09:57.617 --> 09:59.431
is sealing the wound.

10:02.221 --> 10:04.170
If I use magic to support,

10:04.171 --> 10:06.424
it might just get absorbed
by that sword again.

10:06.981 --> 10:08.618
If I want to help Rudd,

10:08.619 --> 10:10.723
I need to find its weakness

10:12.070 --> 10:14.428
and finish it in one strike.

10:15.081 --> 10:16.769
Please, don't kill him!

10:18.069 --> 10:20.473
We did terrible things to Rudd.

10:21.779 --> 10:25.576
But for someone useless like me,

10:25.577 --> 10:28.724
Magnus and Llond are all I have.

10:29.673 --> 10:31.270
I'm begging you.

10:31.271 --> 10:32.932
Spare his life.

10:33.622 --> 10:36.718
Geez, you're really
putting me on the spot here.

10:37.675 --> 10:39.882
But I'll try my best.

10:40.591 --> 10:42.378
- I'll kill you...
- I'm going to try "Substitute".

10:42.379 --> 10:44.719
- I'll kill you...
- Leave it to me for now.

10:44.720 --> 10:46.020
Got it.

10:47.219 --> 10:49.516
When I used "Substitute" on Elysia,

10:49.517 --> 10:51.225
it took about ten seconds.

10:51.773 --> 10:57.030
The problem is how to keep him subdued
while the curse is being lifted.

11:00.522 --> 11:01.536
Rudd!

11:02.472 --> 11:04.572
His attacks are strong.

11:05.081 --> 11:07.981
But if I can suppress this sword,

11:07.982 --> 11:09.573
it won't be able to absorb magic.

11:10.574 --> 11:12.278
"Wisdom of Earth"!

11:16.069 --> 11:17.628
If the problem lies in the curse,

11:18.121 --> 11:21.480
I should be able to restore him
like I did with Elysia before.

11:21.877 --> 11:23.322
Skill:

11:24.523 --> 11:25.922
"Substitute".
