"Destroy me", you say?
Wait, Rezo! Do you intend to resurrect Shabranigdu?
In order to make your eyes see, you would make the same mistake?
This is my fate, sooner or later. The Demon Lord's soul gathers power and begins to eat away at my soul again.
Wait a minute!
So then you weren't seeking revenge against us...
You wanted us to destroy the Demon Lord sleeping inside you?
I entrusted my fate to you.
Do not think on it; because of this I was able to see the light once more!
Rezo! You..!
Now! Destroy the Demon Lord once more!
I-I'm counting on you.
Rezo! Rezo!
It's no good, Pokota!
That's no longer Rezo.
Perish, ghost of the Demon Lord!
Xellos!
I was dreaming long. An empty dream, a dream of destruction.
Beyond chaos and darkness, an eternal dream.
Mister Xellos!
I thought he would awaken as the Demon Lord the instant Mister Rezo's soul was devoured.
So then, it's true?
To think I could see you again after this long time.
I dreamed of meeting you once more.
Well we didn't want that one bit!
The light in those eyes, that light which does not know despair...
It is that light which showed me a nightmare!
It's getting dangerous!
Run!
We won't make it!
Zero hour Those heading to destruction!
Ow, ow
This place is...
Xellos!
I apologize. It was all I could manage to carry you here.
Xellos, you did that for us?
Yes. Right now I can't afford to lose you all.
In order to defeat the Demon Lord.
What?
No, I should say the "ghost" of the Demon Lord.
The ghost of the Demon Lord?
Yes. That is not the Demon Lord that you fought before.
You're saying it's not a completed Demon Lord?
Yes. Do you remember the Demon Lord Gaav?
Gaav?
Who's Gaav?
Uh, I met him somewhere..
In order to resurrect in a different form than normal, he became a threat to us Mazoku.
In the same way, what will happen to a Demon Lord who is resurrected in a a way that would normally never happen?
I can't even guess.
So even to us Mazoku, there is no way we can ignore this.
To dispose of the ghost of the Demon Lord... So that was the mission you were given.
Yes. And so, I would be troubled if you were killed.
Even though a ghost, a Demon Lord is a Demon Lord.
There is only one way to destroy it.
And that's Giga Slave?
Giga Slave? What's that?
It's a spell I used in the past to defeat Shabranigdu.
If you have a such a spell, why didn't you use it at once?!
It's not that easy!
That spell is really a hit-or-miss forbidden technique that could destroy the world.
Destroy the world?
If I could use it so carelessly, I would have used it to defeat Zanaffar.
Just what is going on? What is happening?
Da-!
Well you see, Gramps...
Gramps??
I can't tell you the details, but for now get everyone out of here!
Right! Escape now! As far as you can!
Go, now!
What are you saying? Are you telling us to abandon this country that finally revived?
I understand your feelings, but now..!
You idiot! A country is really the people who live in it!
As long as the people live on, you can revive a country any number of times!
Certainly, it is as you say.
Everybody, go to a safe place.
The people themselves are the country. Well said.
It is certainly so.
Someone told me that once. Anyways, hurry and get everyone...
Those who have lured me into a dream of destruction - let us walk the path of destruction together.
Everyone from Taforashia - run away! Hurry!
Posel!
Dad, no! That's not...!
You're wrong, King of Taforashia! That's not Prince Posel!
What are you saying? If that's not Posel, then who are you saying it is?
Gramps!
Don't!
Don't, Dad!
Dad!
Dad, you have to get out of here!
You are...
It doesn't matter, just run!
Mortals, you will all walk the path of destruction.
Shit!
Astral Break!
Hurry, run!
With normal spells, this is all I can do?
You who know not despair, let us continue like this and together we will walk the path of destruction.
Perish! Head to destruction!
This is bad...
Those who refuse destruction and desire chaos, why do you struggle?
Why do you struggle uselessly and make light of the fear that will eventually come?
Run!
Light, come forth!
This is the destruction of Shabranigdu...
The only thing that could reach him is Gourry's Sword of Light.
Do I have no choice?
You can't be serious!
Just when Taforashia is finally on the path to reconstruction!
Do you think I'd let that stop here?!
Pokota!
When this country was afflicted with sickness, or even when it bore a seal of sleep, I never gave up.
As if I could give up now!
Darkness beyond twilight
Crimson beyond blood that flows
Buried in the flow of time
In thy great name, I pledge myself to darkness
Stop it, Pokota!
It's useless! Dragon Slave is a spell that borrows power from Shabranigdu!
Let all the fools who stand in our way be destroyed
by the power you and I possess...
Dragon Slave!
All of you, disappear from here!
What's going on?
The spell that borrows power from a Demon Lord shoudn't work against that Demon Lord!
There's no end to them!
I get it! It's not that Dragon Slave is effective...
Darkness beyond twilight
Crimson beyond blood that flows
Buried in the flow of time
In thy great name, I pledge myself to darkness
Lina!
Let all the fools who stand in our way be destroyed
by the power you and I possess...
Dragon Slave!
Now!
Dragon Slave is a spell that borrows power from Shabranigdu.
By using it we can forcibly draw out power from him!
Forcibly draw out power?
And that infinite, ominous monster is the power of the Demon Lord itself.
With the Dragon Slave technique you can forcibly consume the power that's freed itself from the main body.
In theory it could lead to our victory.
Got it? Pokota and I will attack with a barrage of Dragon Slaves and make an opening!
If I slip into a good spot, then I'll use everything I've got to hit him with a Ragna Blade!
Darkness beyond twilight...
Ra Tilt!
Dragon Slave!
Not good. At this rate...
This must not continue. Miss Lina's getting exhausted...
We can't get close. My Ragna Blade was cut off!
This is all I can do.
How reckless...!
Why do those who desire destruction try to protect something?
What we desire is one's own will and power.
The destruction we want is obtained from one's own will and desire.
Have you forgotten even that?
Visfarank!
I won't allow it! I won't let you move an inch past me!
Amelia!
Don't worry about us!
Zel!
Lina! You...!
Are you saying I have no choice but to use Giga Slave?
But...from using it once, I know just how dangerous that spell is.
That fear - like falling in a sea of chaos in the night.
Unable to see the shore, one's soul drowns in a pitch-black darkness.
If I fail... I'll put everyone in the same situation!
Zelgadis!
I've never been so grateful for this body that Rezo "enhanced".
That time, I used that spell to save Gourry. But now, to expose everyone to that swirling chaos...!
Hey, are you gonna let it end without doing everything you can do?
This time, I'm going to do everything I possibly can.
Pokota.
Please. Take me there.
I'll take you there, but I'll leave the rest to you.
Pokota, what are you doing!
Smash him, Sword of light!
Gourry!
Lina, don't hesitate! Just do what you think is right. I won't let anyone complain to you!
Gourry!
Is this the one?
This is the only thing I can do now.
Lina, give it to him!
I'll hold everyone's lives in trust!
Lords of the Darkness of the Four Worlds
On thy bonds I do swear
Grant me all the power that you possess!
How foolish. You fools.
I've already given you my body, so I won't ask for it back. But I can't let you do as you please anymore.
Though we're only human, we're living with all we've got. To be destroyed on a whim... I won't forgive you!
Pokota!
I can't lose this chance Pokota's given me!
Darker beyond the darkness,
Deeper beyond the night!
Swaying on the Sea of Chaos, Golden Queen of Darkness!
I call upon thee and swear myself to thee,
Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed by the power you and I possess!
I won't let everyone's feelings be in vain!
You will see a golden dream. Be destroyed together with me! Let's see the same empty dream!
Just a little bit more... Just a little more power!
Giga Slave!
Well done. Destroying the undestroyable... You truly deserve to be called "Slayers".
Be destroyed, ghost of the Demon Lord.
What happened to Pokota?
Pokota broke his own Hellmaster's Jar and returned to his body.
And...
What! So then, Mister Pokota is...
If a Demon Lord's soul was destroyed, a human's would...
Geez. He was supposed to help Taforashia get on its feet again.
What's he gonna do about that?
What am I gonna do? Well I gotta do it stealthily!
You're alive? How?
How? Well...
This is the end, huh.
No. You will remain.
Somehow, you know.
Somehow?? Don't mess with me! You were so close to the end of your life!
Pokota, take responsibility!
Responsiblity for what? Don't say stupid things, you flat-chest!
What?!
You go over there!
Oh, Posel!
When I see those eyes, I know. My son!
Dad... Dad!
Parents and kids are great, aren't they.
Yeah, that may be so.
Um, what about Rezo?
It's fine.
Have you gotten homesick too, Lina?
It's too early to go back home yet. We have to find a sword for you first.
That again?
Alright! Let's bust on out and go!
Yeah!
If you don't hurry up, I'll leave you behind!
Itsuka otona ni natta sono hi ni
On that someday when I become an adult,
Kyoudou boku no darou
I'll be a sharing person.
Tanoshii koto mo tsurakatta koto mo
The fun things and the hard things,
Kitto kagayaiteru n darou
will surely be shining.
Kyou ni makenai jibun de iyou
I'll be a person who won't lose to today
Tabi wa mada matsu dakara
Because more journeys are waiting.
Tanoshii koto mo chotto tsurai koto mo
The fun things and the slightly tough things
Kore kara mo tsuzuku no darou
will continue from here on.
Sou zutto zutto tsuzuiteku
That's right, they'll always always continue.
