Thank you.
I've done nothing to earn your gratitude.

His name is Sasha Dejanstahl Voban.
The Kings Converse His name is Sasha Dejanstahl Voban.
The Kings Converse
Known as the Demon King of Eastern Europe,
he is one of the three oldest Campione.
It seems he's kidnapped one of our princess shrine maidens.
That's hard to believe.
Why would Duke Voban take Yuri?
Well, I think I have an idea regarding that.
Our princess was once previously acquainted with the duke.
Wait, you mean four years ago?
Well, it's not just that...
Anyway, time is of the essence here.
Do you think you could help us out?
Of course.
Hey, Godou!
You can't just accept without thinking...
That idiot Doni called yesterday. You can't just accept without thinking...
He said this was a perfect chance for me to pick a fight with him.
Lord Salvatore said that?
I'll handle this alone.
My master... I'll handle this alone.
You wouldn't plan to see the duke
without me along, would you?
N..No...
Anyway, we'll take care of the old man.
Could you tell us his location?
Thank you.
King, if your wish is to summon a god once more,
I cannot obey.
What was that?
As a princess shrine maiden, my duty is to protect this country.
How could I summon a rogue god here, and invite chaos?
Then, what will you do?
Will you resist me, despite knowing it to be futile?
I shall choose...
to take my own life.
King, I beg you to reconsider.
A brave and foolish decision.
My Dead Servants...
The lives that I have reaped serve me eternally in death.
We shall have to see if your particular talents will linger after death.
Very good.
A god dead, but now revived.
Dismembered and torn apart,
but with regained life, who has descended to the Underworld.
Oh?
Green skin, bandages, a crown...
So, you can see it.
Tell me about the god from whom I usurped this Authority.
I, Voban, grant you permission.
Very well.
The god you defeated is the Egyptian ruler over the land of the dead,
Osiris.
It was, indeed, no mistake to choose you.
Mariya is in here?
I've verified it, so she must be.
Verified it?
Duke Voban's knight came to Japan, so I looked into her actions.
He has someone like you, Erica?
That's right.
What is it?
I don't recall inviting them.
Then that makes seven.
Interesting.
What are these guys?
Dead Servants.
The Duke's Authority has cast them into a prison for the soul.
This one is the ancient witch, huh?
Isn't this a...
It's a golem,
a puppet made of earth, described in Jewish folklore.
Erica, I'll use the Ram!
No, there's no need!
A golem is but a lowly servant!
There's a textbook method for dealing with them!
If you change the "emeth" on his forehead, representing truth,
into "meth," representing death...
Cuore di Leone!
Thank you.
I've done nothing to earn your gratitude.
What's so funny?
You said the same thing to me when we first met.
It's good.
So, have you been well?
What's this, out of nowhere?
Last time we ran into each other, we had no chance to sit and talk.
S..So...
Godou Kusanagi entered not too long ago.
I imagine his objective is a fight with the Duke.
A Campione inherently enjoys conflict.
He can't be...
It appears that Godou Kusanagi feels the same way as the Duke.
That's not true!
Kusanagi...
Kusanagi wouldn't...
Anyway, he's different!
How is he different?
Did he not become a god-slayer because he enjoys fighting?
Even if that's so,
he's different from the other kings!
The god will be summoned here.
Purify yourself.
W..Wait a second!
Liliana...
Godou, what can you see?
What?
I can't see a thing.
Really? Well, that's fine.
Cuore di Leone!
Lion of Steel, to you, I entrust this task.
Rip him apart, tear through him and crush him in your jaws!
I'm not doing anything...
A knight should help her master.
Save your Authorities for your battle with Duke Voban.
Is he strong?
Among the current Campione, you could say he's the worst.
But you're still going, correct?
Yeah.
As you wish, my master.
So, you're Voban.
Name yourself, young man.
I have no need to name myself, as you already know me.
However, I know not of you.
Godou Kusanagi...
I'm here to take back my friend.
You're young.
I think I was about your age when I became a king.
I'm not interested in your old stories.
I want to know if Mariya is unharmed.
I see, so that is your aim.
Unfortunately, she is my property, and a rare, valuable property, at that,
for about four years now.
That's bull!
We are negotiating here as kings.
When you ask something from a king,
should you not arrange for proper compensation?
Compensation?
I would accept a shrine maiden capable of summoning a god.
Or even a god itself, if it would be suitable prey.
Shouldn't you have prepared property of your own that you believe of equal worth?
This freaking old man...
Erica?
My lord, I believe it would be best
if you followed the suggestion of your close friend, Lord Salvatore.
Close friend?
That is something I can hardly ignore, young lady.
It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
My name is Erica Blandelli,
Grand Knight of the Copper Black Cross
and the current Red Devil.
The successor to Paolo Blandelli?
But what did you mean by "close friend"?
My lord, Godou Kusanagi,
fought the Italian king, Lord Salvatore,
in a duel that resulted in a draw.
Impressed by each other's abilities, they became quite close.
The lord spoke the following words:
"The king senior to the rest many times over, the Duke, has come to you."
"You should enjoy a contest of power with him."
And further, that it is "the duty of the young to teach the elderly the sorrows of age,"
"and to submit themselves to a younger power."
He never said that!
He's crazy, but even he wouldn't say that!
Interesting, very interesting!
You are he who slaughtered Athena, are you not?
I didn't slaughter her.
I sent her back.
I intended to hunt her.
Four years ago, the rogue god I had summoned
was stolen from me by that Salvatore boy.
And now,
Salvatore's close friend has taken my prey from me again.
This is utter humiliation.
Enough humiliation to make me wish to cleave your head from your body at once.
But I am a kind-hearted king.
I shall bestow upon you a chance, since you have made it this far.
Mariya!
Lili... Mariya!
Kusanagi!
Let us play a game, young Campione.
A game between kings!
Take that girl with you.
You may hide where you like.
Should you manage to outrun me until daybreak, you win.
Thirty minutes hence, I shall leave here.
Make this entertaining for me.
Godou, this won't be settled unless you face Duke Voban.
I know that.
But couldn't you have found a more peaceful approach?
No.
He will stop at nothing in pursuit of his enjoyment.
So if I want him to listen to me, I'll need to force him to...
Erica, that old man's Authorities...
His Authorities as a Campione...
Surely some organization has researched them, right?
The Greenwich Assembly of Wise Men?
That won't work.
They began operating around the latter half of the nineteenth century.
Duke Voban had already become a god-slayer before that time.
We have so little information on him.
That's not good...
Please run away.
He wants me.
If I just return to the Duke, all will be resolved.
What are you saying-
This way, no one will get hurt.
It's the best way.
But what will happen to you, Mariya?
I'll be fine.
The Duke wants me to help him with the ritual,
so I doubt anything will-
You're lying. so I doubt anything will-
The ritual four years ago has become quite famous.
You managed to sacrifice a mere thirty individuals to summon a god.
Then you knew...
Almost everyone gathered suffered severe psychological issues,
after all was said and done.
Mom...
Hey, are you okay?
Get hold of yourself! Hey!
The only reason you were all right was either because you're that talented,
or because you were lucky.
So there is essentially no guarantee you'll escape unscathed again.
You plan to sacrifice yourself to save everyone else?
But there is no other way!
Ms. Erica, thirty minutes have passed.
They're here!
Arianna, don't get caught.
Leave it to me!
Let me return to the Duke now.
No way, I'm taking down that old man.
A mere human cannot go against a king!
Then we have no problem.
I'm not a human.
That wasn't what I meant!
I've already decided.
Yuri, this is the decision of Godou Kusanagi, a Campione.
You cannot resist him.
You too, Erica?
Why?
Why are you...
My friend is sitting beside me, in trouble.
Naturally, I'd want to assist her.
Friend?
We're friends, right?
Here.
Don't lose it again.
It seems I'll have to go along with this.
I can't disobey a king.
I'm glad you two are getting along,
but remember that I'm his proper wife.
Be sure to remember your rank.
Proper wife?
We're in all this danger, and you...
I'm saying it because we're in danger.
And, Yuri...
Yes?
He's quite a selfish and heavy-handed king.
Once he's decided something, he doesn't back down.
Right!
Ms. Erica, this is getting tough.
Drop us off in a wide-open space.
R..Right!
Arianna, you go back alone.
Understood.
I pray for your success.
It looks like they've managed to evacuate everyone.
The Committee for the Compilation of True History works pretty fast.
That just means they have the power to do what they want.
Try not to damage the area too much.
Try...
telling them that.
Save the White Horse and the Bird of Prey.
I'll take care of them.
Holy, holy...
Lord of Hosts, we worship and revere you!
It appears it's time for a duel.
Cuore di Leone!
See? That wasn't so hard.
Apparently, my hunting hounds proved useless before the Red Devil.
Young man, are you prepared for me to destroy you?
Aren't you the actor, manifesting in a gust of wind?
I become like this when I am excited.
Is that another one of your Authorities?
Then,
why don't I introduce you to the first among my servants?
These are all strong warriors who amused me in the past.
Have fun with them.
In life, these were all Great Knights.
They'll be tough.
He's messing with them, even after death.
I needn't hold back, right?
Come to me, for victory...
Immortal Sun, lend me a quick, shining steed!
Sun...
Flame from the heavens?
Quick and ethereal Horse,
your master demands your immediate presence!
What the hell was that?
He ate the Horse's flame?
Is that it?
That is the level of the man who fought on par with Salvatore?
The level of the man who defeated Athena?
I would like to return the kind gift you just gave me.
But this body would destroy not only you, but also the shrine maiden.
So, I shall send my servants to deal with you instead!
I can't use the Camel in this situation.
Perhaps the Boar could...
No, that won't work.
If I don't know my enemy's abilities,
it will just end up like the Horse!
Kusanagi...
That's right...
I have to take care of Mariya.
Erica, we're going to regroup!
Got it.
All right...
Those that are evil, and those that are strong...
Fear me, for I have wings.
For my wings will punish you for your curse.
And those that are evil
will not be able to touch me!
Bear with me for a second.
I'll lose them.
What about Erica?
She'll be fine.
Fly, Boots of Hermes!
Let's go.
CAMPIONE!
