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

2
00:01:30,078 --> 00:01:32,778
(Episode 11: Basilista, the Venomdrake)

3
00:01:32,779 --> 00:01:35,026
According to the information from Renquas,

4
00:01:35,027 --> 00:01:39,526
we shouldn't reach miasma-infested areas
until about five floors deeper.

5
00:01:39,923 --> 00:01:44,424
That must mean Venomdrake
has grown even stronger.

6
00:01:45,419 --> 00:01:49,825
Even my purification tools
can barely handle this level of miasma.

7
00:01:50,575 --> 00:01:53,126
With the miasma spreading this far,

8
00:01:53,127 --> 00:01:57,424
monsters deeper down
must be very scarce by now.

9
00:01:58,123 --> 00:02:02,725
Or they might have
incredibly strong miasma resistance.

10
00:02:03,922 --> 00:02:06,919
I can't tell how many floors deeper
we'll have to go.

11
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,830
- Are you sure about coming...
- Of course.

12
00:02:09,323 --> 00:02:13,476
It could be an enemy
even your magic can't handle.

13
00:02:13,477 --> 00:02:16,124
If we face unfavorable conditions
for close combat,

14
00:02:16,125 --> 00:02:18,422
I can also provide support.

15
00:02:19,172 --> 00:02:20,472
Besides...

16
00:02:20,875 --> 00:02:23,626
If I abandoned my partner
and ran away again,

17
00:02:23,627 --> 00:02:25,923
I'd never forgive myself.

18
00:02:27,923 --> 00:02:30,120
Sorry for asking the same thing again.

19
00:02:30,776 --> 00:02:31,669
Elysia.

20
00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:35,874
"Substitute" Miasma State.

21
00:02:36,481 --> 00:02:40,481
But this only removes miasma
accumulated before I touched you.

22
00:02:40,482 --> 00:02:42,987
Once I let go of my hand, miasma
will start building up on you again.

23
00:02:44,321 --> 00:02:45,679
In that case...

24
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,726
Let's just hold hands.

25
00:02:48,275 --> 00:02:50,621
The miasma is too thick
to even see the floor.

26
00:02:50,622 --> 00:02:54,516
Please guard me while using "Substitute".

27
00:02:54,517 --> 00:02:55,528
Got it.

28
00:02:57,380 --> 00:03:00,419
The deeper we go,
the thicker the miasma gets.

29
00:03:00,420 --> 00:03:01,481
Are you holding up?

30
00:03:01,482 --> 00:03:02,425
Yeah.

31
00:03:02,771 --> 00:03:04,121
As long as I'm holding your hand,

32
00:03:04,122 --> 00:03:06,976
the miasma's effect
seems to be canceled out.

33
00:03:06,977 --> 00:03:08,066
Okay.

34
00:03:08,067 --> 00:03:11,720
We don 't have to worry much
about Substitute's duration.

35
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,426
Now let's get down to business.

36
00:03:15,123 --> 00:03:19,082
My "Sonic Perception"
detected a monster ahead.

37
00:03:19,476 --> 00:03:21,565
Any creature surviving
in thick miasma like this

38
00:03:21,566 --> 00:03:23,127
must be formidable.

39
00:03:23,128 --> 00:03:25,224
Looks like a species I've never seen.

40
00:03:25,225 --> 00:03:26,424
Guess you were right.

41
00:03:26,425 --> 00:03:27,821
Can we avoid it?

42
00:03:28,274 --> 00:03:30,074
Probably.

43
00:03:30,075 --> 00:03:32,034
But I'd rather fight it.

44
00:03:34,724 --> 00:03:35,577
You want to eat it, don't you?

45
00:03:35,578 --> 00:03:36,977
Not that!

46
00:03:36,978 --> 00:03:38,524
Though I will eat it afterward.

47
00:03:38,979 --> 00:03:40,527
So you're eating it after all.

48
00:03:41,172 --> 00:03:42,771
Before facing Venomdrake,

49
00:03:42,772 --> 00:03:44,972
I want to test our capabilities
on this one.

50
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,820
"Wisdom of Earth".

51
00:03:52,875 --> 00:03:54,322
Nice shot!

52
00:03:54,718 --> 00:03:57,626
But it barely fazed it.

53
00:04:02,667 --> 00:04:03,320
Elysia!

54
00:04:03,321 --> 00:04:04,369
Leave it to me!

55
00:04:04,370 --> 00:04:05,622
Nomia!

56
00:04:05,623 --> 00:04:06,909
Stop it!

57
00:04:08,362 --> 00:04:10,775
It's strong... Now!

58
00:04:10,776 --> 00:04:11,977
Got it.

59
00:04:12,466 --> 00:04:16,723
Imagine pulling mana particles from within
and wrapping around the blade...

60
00:04:17,221 --> 00:04:19,881
Don't you dare break.

61
00:04:26,620 --> 00:04:29,123
It seems still intact.

62
00:04:29,975 --> 00:04:32,625
And not even a scratch.

63
00:04:33,028 --> 00:04:35,728
Guess I can go all out
with weapon enhancement.

64
00:04:37,419 --> 00:04:38,725
Did I cut too shallow?

65
00:04:39,361 --> 00:04:41,576
If the impact isn't enough,

66
00:04:41,577 --> 00:04:44,026
I'll just have to gamble.

67
00:04:44,027 --> 00:04:44,924
Elysia!

68
00:04:45,426 --> 00:04:47,678
Pull off a full-power strike like before!

69
00:04:48,182 --> 00:04:49,482
On it.

70
00:04:51,025 --> 00:04:55,032
Cylphiid! Unleash your true power!

71
00:05:00,877 --> 00:05:03,123
Now show me what you've got!

72
00:05:13,552 --> 00:05:15,420
That worked well.

73
00:05:15,421 --> 00:05:17,921
Your magic control remains impeccable.

74
00:05:18,579 --> 00:05:19,574
"Substitute".

75
00:05:20,065 --> 00:05:21,076
Thanks.

76
00:05:21,871 --> 00:05:24,822
But could you give me a moment?

77
00:05:25,523 --> 00:05:27,077
Um...

78
00:05:27,469 --> 00:05:31,675
Absorbing magic alone cannot
replenish the mana particles I expended.

79
00:05:31,676 --> 00:05:33,020
So it boils down to eating.

80
00:05:33,021 --> 00:05:34,272
Well, you see,

81
00:05:34,273 --> 00:05:36,124
it's already conveniently in pieces.

82
00:05:36,125 --> 00:05:37,725
Okay...

83
00:05:38,176 --> 00:05:39,369
"Modest fire".

84
00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:44,530
It has a distinctive flavor.

85
00:05:44,926 --> 00:05:47,870
There is crunchy insect-like texture,

86
00:05:47,871 --> 00:05:51,324
rounded off
by an underlying meaty savoriness.

87
00:05:51,325 --> 00:05:54,225
Save the gourmet commentary.

88
00:05:54,677 --> 00:05:57,226
How's that cursed sword?

89
00:05:57,626 --> 00:06:00,025
It endures mana particles infusion
without damage.

90
00:06:00,481 --> 00:06:02,677
It won't break easily.

91
00:06:03,173 --> 00:06:05,646
What about its magic absorption?

92
00:06:05,647 --> 00:06:09,966
After magic absorption,
my physical prowess noticeably surges.

93
00:06:09,967 --> 00:06:12,917
Just converting Attack Magic
into Enhancement Magic

94
00:06:12,918 --> 00:06:14,920
makes it valuable already.

95
00:06:15,475 --> 00:06:17,380
If other weapons like this exist,

96
00:06:17,381 --> 00:06:19,824
they will be monumental for adventurers.

97
00:06:19,825 --> 00:06:21,068
Even if they do,

98
00:06:21,069 --> 00:06:24,373
bearing curses mean
only you could wield them.

99
00:06:24,776 --> 00:06:26,181
Fair point.

100
00:06:26,826 --> 00:06:29,622
Regardless, this blade's potency
is undeniable.

101
00:06:29,623 --> 00:06:31,422
It's a fairly big gain.

102
00:06:32,172 --> 00:06:35,077
There's just one thing bothering me.

103
00:06:35,473 --> 00:06:36,926
According to witness reports,

104
00:06:36,927 --> 00:06:39,624
that Venomdrake
is as huge as a large tree.

105
00:06:40,569 --> 00:06:43,327
Whether it'll be useful then
is anyone's guess.

106
00:06:43,776 --> 00:06:46,371
And in terms of per-strike power,

107
00:06:46,372 --> 00:06:47,426
my previous sword was actually more...

108
00:06:47,427 --> 00:06:51,018
Give it to me.

109
00:06:51,976 --> 00:06:54,825
Give me the magic stone.

110
00:07:00,923 --> 00:07:02,025
Take it.

111
00:07:12,372 --> 00:07:13,669
A greatsword?

112
00:07:14,677 --> 00:07:16,221
What's going on?

113
00:07:16,621 --> 00:07:20,381
It just spoke directly into my mind.

114
00:07:20,925 --> 00:07:22,919
It asked me to give it the magic stone.

115
00:07:23,725 --> 00:07:27,625
Was it mad due to my comment
about it being weaker?

116
00:07:28,565 --> 00:07:32,416
We should be nearing
the Venomdrake's territory soon, right?

117
00:07:32,417 --> 00:07:35,420
Yeah, just two or three floors left.

118
00:07:37,676 --> 00:07:40,173
This roar... is it the Venomdrake?

119
00:07:40,174 --> 00:07:41,871
The ceiling is collapsing!

120
00:07:41,872 --> 00:07:43,221
I'll hold it up with Earth magic!

121
00:07:43,222 --> 00:07:43,926
Elysia, help me...

122
00:07:43,927 --> 00:07:45,221
No time for that!

123
00:07:45,222 --> 00:07:47,621
Let's rush through before the path

124
00:07:47,622 --> 00:07:48,625
is blocked!

125
00:08:02,527 --> 00:08:04,368
I thought I was done for.

126
00:08:04,369 --> 00:08:06,906
That took a lot of mana.

127
00:08:07,178 --> 00:08:10,824
But... it's way too quiet here.

128
00:08:12,067 --> 00:08:14,772
There's no telling
when we'll run into the Venomdrake.

129
00:08:14,773 --> 00:08:16,227
Let's use "Sonic Perception"...

130
00:08:19,420 --> 00:08:20,931
Ah.

131
00:08:21,622 --> 00:08:24,024
Seems it's coming to us.

132
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:25,970
Can you appraise it?

133
00:08:25,971 --> 00:08:26,975
Yeah.

134
00:08:27,425 --> 00:08:30,516
It is Basilista, the Venomdrake.

135
00:08:30,517 --> 00:08:33,323
HP 524, MANA 377, STRENGTH 445
Level 75. Status and others

136
00:08:33,324 --> 00:08:35,219
MENTALITY 365, WILL 422, AGILITY 201
are all extraordinary numbers.

137
00:08:35,220 --> 00:08:36,276
What skills?

138
00:08:36,277 --> 00:08:38,626
Its teeth and claws inflict severe toxins.

139
00:08:38,627 --> 00:08:40,277
What about magic resistances?

140
00:08:40,278 --> 00:08:42,925
It resists all elements
except Water and Wind.

141
00:08:43,310 --> 00:08:44,573
Understood.

142
00:08:44,574 --> 00:08:46,721
I'll attack first
with effective Elemental Magic.

143
00:08:46,722 --> 00:08:47,924
You handle the frontline.

144
00:08:47,927 --> 00:08:48,684
Got it.

145
00:08:50,075 --> 00:08:51,070
I'm going!

146
00:08:56,627 --> 00:08:58,171
The miasma won't harm me,

147
00:08:58,172 --> 00:09:00,028
but this visibility is awful!

148
00:09:05,418 --> 00:09:07,427
Pillars and flooring are melting.

149
00:09:07,428 --> 00:09:09,080
Such intense heat!

150
00:09:13,025 --> 00:09:14,094
Cylphiid!

151
00:09:18,724 --> 00:09:19,770
Darn it!

152
00:09:19,771 --> 00:09:21,824
Its hide is too tough,
and my sword barely scratches it.

153
00:09:22,470 --> 00:09:23,577
Elysia!

154
00:09:23,578 --> 00:09:25,674
Cylphiid, unleash slash!

155
00:09:30,677 --> 00:09:32,727
Even Spirit Magic

156
00:09:33,771 --> 00:09:36,130
only did that much?

157
00:09:47,220 --> 00:09:49,818
Darn it. I knew it would be tough,

158
00:09:49,819 --> 00:09:51,123
but this is insane.

159
00:09:51,725 --> 00:09:53,522
Extremely high defense

160
00:09:53,523 --> 00:09:55,520
and multiple ranged attacks.

161
00:09:57,668 --> 00:09:59,822
How do we even defeat it?

162
00:09:59,823 --> 00:10:02,275
Rudd, buy me some time!

163
00:10:02,969 --> 00:10:04,877
I need to unleash my strongest attack

164
00:10:04,878 --> 00:10:06,922
before my status drops further.

165
00:10:06,923 --> 00:10:08,224
Got it!

166
00:10:15,623 --> 00:10:17,327
"Wisdom of Earth"!

167
00:10:20,223 --> 00:10:21,624
Hey! Over here!

168
00:10:28,076 --> 00:10:30,925
Let Rudd distract it.
I'm dropping all defenses

169
00:10:31,323 --> 00:10:34,828
and channeling every ounce
of saved mana into offense.

170
00:10:35,525 --> 00:10:37,518
Answer my call!

171
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:38,524
Salam!

172
00:10:38,525 --> 00:10:39,721
Uldele!

173
00:10:39,722 --> 00:10:40,820
Nomia!

174
00:10:40,821 --> 00:10:42,021
Vakijan!

175
00:10:42,524 --> 00:10:44,222
Cylphiid!

176
00:10:53,171 --> 00:10:54,721
Your turn!

177
00:10:54,722 --> 00:10:55,975
"Mana Absorption".

178
00:10:58,168 --> 00:10:59,178
Ready.

179
00:10:59,179 --> 00:11:00,674
Rudd! Move!

180
00:11:00,675 --> 00:11:02,216
Take this!

181
00:11:02,217 --> 00:11:05,912
"Harmony of the Five Spirits"!

182
00:11:14,177 --> 00:11:15,779
If it were the one I used to be,

183
00:11:15,780 --> 00:11:18,501
I could've taken it down in a single blow.

184
00:11:23,821 --> 00:11:25,522
Nice shot.

185
00:11:26,871 --> 00:11:28,775
Now it's my turn.
