WEBVTT

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

01:30.078 --> 01:32.778
(Episode 11: Basilista, the Venomdrake)

01:32.779 --> 01:35.026
According to the information from Renquas,

01:35.027 --> 01:39.526
we shouldn't reach miasma-infested areas
until about five floors deeper.

01:39.923 --> 01:44.424
That must mean Venomdrake
has grown even stronger.

01:45.419 --> 01:49.825
Even my purification tools
can barely handle this level of miasma.

01:50.575 --> 01:53.126
With the miasma spreading this far,

01:53.127 --> 01:57.424
monsters deeper down
must be very scarce by now.

01:58.123 --> 02:02.725
Or they might have
incredibly strong miasma resistance.

02:03.922 --> 02:06.919
I can't tell how many floors deeper
we'll have to go.

02:06.920 --> 02:08.830
- Are you sure about coming...
- Of course.

02:09.323 --> 02:13.476
It could be an enemy
even your magic can't handle.

02:13.477 --> 02:16.124
If we face unfavorable conditions
for close combat,

02:16.125 --> 02:18.422
I can also provide support.

02:19.172 --> 02:20.472
Besides...

02:20.875 --> 02:23.626
If I abandoned my partner
and ran away again,

02:23.627 --> 02:25.923
I'd never forgive myself.

02:27.923 --> 02:30.120
Sorry for asking the same thing again.

02:30.776 --> 02:31.669
Elysia.

02:33.620 --> 02:35.874
"Substitute" Miasma State.

02:36.481 --> 02:40.481
But this only removes miasma
accumulated before I touched you.

02:40.482 --> 02:42.987
Once I let go of my hand, miasma
will start building up on you again.

02:44.321 --> 02:45.679
In that case...

02:45.680 --> 02:47.726
Let's just hold hands.

02:48.275 --> 02:50.621
The miasma is too thick
to even see the floor.

02:50.622 --> 02:54.516
Please guard me while using "Substitute".

02:54.517 --> 02:55.528
Got it.

02:57.380 --> 03:00.419
The deeper we go,
the thicker the miasma gets.

03:00.420 --> 03:01.481
Are you holding up?

03:01.482 --> 03:02.425
Yeah.

03:02.771 --> 03:04.121
As long as I'm holding your hand,

03:04.122 --> 03:06.976
the miasma's effect
seems to be canceled out.

03:06.977 --> 03:08.066
Okay.

03:08.067 --> 03:11.720
We don 't have to worry much
about Substitute's duration.

03:12.320 --> 03:14.426
Now let's get down to business.

03:15.123 --> 03:19.082
My "Sonic Perception"
detected a monster ahead.

03:19.476 --> 03:21.565
Any creature surviving
in thick miasma like this

03:21.566 --> 03:23.127
must be formidable.

03:23.128 --> 03:25.224
Looks like a species I've never seen.

03:25.225 --> 03:26.424
Guess you were right.

03:26.425 --> 03:27.821
Can we avoid it?

03:28.274 --> 03:30.074
Probably.

03:30.075 --> 03:32.034
But I'd rather fight it.

03:34.724 --> 03:35.577
You want to eat it, don't you?

03:35.578 --> 03:36.977
Not that!

03:36.978 --> 03:38.524
Though I will eat it afterward.

03:38.979 --> 03:40.527
So you're eating it after all.

03:41.172 --> 03:42.771
Before facing Venomdrake,

03:42.772 --> 03:44.972
I want to test our capabilities
on this one.

03:48.320 --> 03:49.820
"Wisdom of Earth".

03:52.875 --> 03:54.322
Nice shot!

03:54.718 --> 03:57.626
But it barely fazed it.

04:02.667 --> 04:03.320
Elysia!

04:03.321 --> 04:04.369
Leave it to me!

04:04.370 --> 04:05.622
Nomia!

04:05.623 --> 04:06.909
Stop it!

04:08.362 --> 04:10.775
It's strong... Now!

04:10.776 --> 04:11.977
Got it.

04:12.466 --> 04:16.723
Imagine pulling mana particles from within
and wrapping around the blade...

04:17.221 --> 04:19.881
Don't you dare break.

04:26.620 --> 04:29.123
It seems still intact.

04:29.975 --> 04:32.625
And not even a scratch.

04:33.028 --> 04:35.728
Guess I can go all out
with weapon enhancement.

04:37.419 --> 04:38.725
Did I cut too shallow?

04:39.361 --> 04:41.576
If the impact isn't enough,

04:41.577 --> 04:44.026
I'll just have to gamble.

04:44.027 --> 04:44.924
Elysia!

04:45.426 --> 04:47.678
Pull off a full-power strike like before!

04:48.182 --> 04:49.482
On it.

04:51.025 --> 04:55.032
Cylphiid! Unleash your true power!

05:00.877 --> 05:03.123
Now show me what you've got!

05:13.552 --> 05:15.420
That worked well.

05:15.421 --> 05:17.921
Your magic control remains impeccable.

05:18.579 --> 05:19.574
"Substitute".

05:20.065 --> 05:21.076
Thanks.

05:21.871 --> 05:24.822
But could you give me a moment?

05:25.523 --> 05:27.077
Um...

05:27.469 --> 05:31.675
Absorbing magic alone cannot
replenish the mana particles I expended.

05:31.676 --> 05:33.020
So it boils down to eating.

05:33.021 --> 05:34.272
Well, you see,

05:34.273 --> 05:36.124
it's already conveniently in pieces.

05:36.125 --> 05:37.725
Okay...

05:38.176 --> 05:39.369
"Modest fire".

05:42.070 --> 05:44.530
It has a distinctive flavor.

05:44.926 --> 05:47.870
There is crunchy insect-like texture,

05:47.871 --> 05:51.324
rounded off
by an underlying meaty savoriness.

05:51.325 --> 05:54.225
Save the gourmet commentary.

05:54.677 --> 05:57.226
How's that cursed sword?

05:57.626 --> 06:00.025
It endures mana particles infusion
without damage.

06:00.481 --> 06:02.677
It won't break easily.

06:03.173 --> 06:05.646
What about its magic absorption?

06:05.647 --> 06:09.966
After magic absorption,
my physical prowess noticeably surges.

06:09.967 --> 06:12.917
Just converting Attack Magic
into Enhancement Magic

06:12.918 --> 06:14.920
makes it valuable already.

06:15.475 --> 06:17.380
If other weapons like this exist,

06:17.381 --> 06:19.824
they will be monumental for adventurers.

06:19.825 --> 06:21.068
Even if they do,

06:21.069 --> 06:24.373
bearing curses mean
only you could wield them.

06:24.776 --> 06:26.181
Fair point.

06:26.826 --> 06:29.622
Regardless, this blade's potency
is undeniable.

06:29.623 --> 06:31.422
It's a fairly big gain.

06:32.172 --> 06:35.077
There's just one thing bothering me.

06:35.473 --> 06:36.926
According to witness reports,

06:36.927 --> 06:39.624
that Venomdrake
is as huge as a large tree.

06:40.569 --> 06:43.327
Whether it'll be useful then
is anyone's guess.

06:43.776 --> 06:46.371
And in terms of per-strike power,

06:46.372 --> 06:47.426
my previous sword was actually more...

06:47.427 --> 06:51.018
Give it to me.

06:51.976 --> 06:54.825
Give me the magic stone.

07:00.923 --> 07:02.025
Take it.

07:12.372 --> 07:13.669
A greatsword?

07:14.677 --> 07:16.221
What's going on?

07:16.621 --> 07:20.381
It just spoke directly into my mind.

07:20.925 --> 07:22.919
It asked me to give it the magic stone.

07:23.725 --> 07:27.625
Was it mad due to my comment
about it being weaker?

07:28.565 --> 07:32.416
We should be nearing
the Venomdrake's territory soon, right?

07:32.417 --> 07:35.420
Yeah, just two or three floors left.

07:37.676 --> 07:40.173
This roar... is it the Venomdrake?

07:40.174 --> 07:41.871
The ceiling is collapsing!

07:41.872 --> 07:43.221
I'll hold it up with Earth magic!

07:43.222 --> 07:43.926
Elysia, help me...

07:43.927 --> 07:45.221
No time for that!

07:45.222 --> 07:47.621
Let's rush through before the path

07:47.622 --> 07:48.625
is blocked!

08:02.527 --> 08:04.368
I thought I was done for.

08:04.369 --> 08:06.906
That took a lot of mana.

08:07.178 --> 08:10.824
But... it's way too quiet here.

08:12.067 --> 08:14.772
There's no telling
when we'll run into the Venomdrake.

08:14.773 --> 08:16.227
Let's use "Sonic Perception"...

08:19.420 --> 08:20.931
Ah.

08:21.622 --> 08:24.024
Seems it's coming to us.

08:24.519 --> 08:25.970
Can you appraise it?

08:25.971 --> 08:26.975
Yeah.

08:27.425 --> 08:30.516
It is Basilista, the Venomdrake.

08:30.517 --> 08:33.323
HP 524, MANA 377, STRENGTH 445
Level 75. Status and others

08:33.324 --> 08:35.219
MENTALITY 365, WILL 422, AGILITY 201
are all extraordinary numbers.

08:35.220 --> 08:36.276
What skills?

08:36.277 --> 08:38.626
Its teeth and claws inflict severe toxins.

08:38.627 --> 08:40.277
What about magic resistances?

08:40.278 --> 08:42.925
It resists all elements
except Water and Wind.

08:43.310 --> 08:44.573
Understood.

08:44.574 --> 08:46.721
I'll attack first
with effective Elemental Magic.

08:46.722 --> 08:47.924
You handle the frontline.

08:47.927 --> 08:48.684
Got it.

08:50.075 --> 08:51.070
I'm going!

08:56.627 --> 08:58.171
The miasma won't harm me,

08:58.172 --> 09:00.028
but this visibility is awful!

09:05.418 --> 09:07.427
Pillars and flooring are melting.

09:07.428 --> 09:09.080
Such intense heat!

09:13.025 --> 09:14.094
Cylphiid!

09:18.724 --> 09:19.770
Darn it!

09:19.771 --> 09:21.824
Its hide is too tough,
and my sword barely scratches it.

09:22.470 --> 09:23.577
Elysia!

09:23.578 --> 09:25.674
Cylphiid, unleash slash!

09:30.677 --> 09:32.727
Even Spirit Magic

09:33.771 --> 09:36.130
only did that much?

09:47.220 --> 09:49.818
Darn it. I knew it would be tough,

09:49.819 --> 09:51.123
but this is insane.

09:51.725 --> 09:53.522
Extremely high defense

09:53.523 --> 09:55.520
and multiple ranged attacks.

09:57.668 --> 09:59.822
How do we even defeat it?

09:59.823 --> 10:02.275
Rudd, buy me some time!

10:02.969 --> 10:04.877
I need to unleash my strongest attack

10:04.878 --> 10:06.922
before my status drops further.

10:06.923 --> 10:08.224
Got it!

10:15.623 --> 10:17.327
"Wisdom of Earth"!

10:20.223 --> 10:21.624
Hey! Over here!

10:28.076 --> 10:30.925
Let Rudd distract it.
I'm dropping all defenses

10:31.323 --> 10:34.828
and channeling every ounce
of saved mana into offense.

10:35.525 --> 10:37.518
Answer my call!

10:37.519 --> 10:38.524
Salam!

10:38.525 --> 10:39.721
Uldele!

10:39.722 --> 10:40.820
Nomia!

10:40.821 --> 10:42.021
Vakijan!

10:42.524 --> 10:44.222
Cylphiid!

10:53.171 --> 10:54.721
Your turn!

10:54.722 --> 10:55.975
"Mana Absorption".

10:58.168 --> 10:59.178
Ready.

10:59.179 --> 11:00.674
Rudd! Move!

11:00.675 --> 11:02.216
Take this!

11:02.217 --> 11:05.912
"Harmony of the Five Spirits"!

11:14.177 --> 11:15.779
If it were the one I used to be,

11:15.780 --> 11:18.501
I could've taken it down in a single blow.

11:23.821 --> 11:25.522
Nice shot.

11:26.871 --> 11:28.775
Now it's my turn.
