You...!
You would harm...your own princess?!
What are you doing?! Hurry up and capture her!
Sorry...
W-What...?!
All right, guys.
Drop your weapons.
Otherwise, I'll kill your boss.
I'm really mad.
Really, really mad.
Did you hear me?!
Messenger coming through!
You're ordered to cease fighting!
It's over already?
How boring.
I want you to keep on killing and keep on hating.
Right, my master?
That's...
I've never felt anything more intense in a domain.
The scope of this Malevolence is ridiculous.
Don't tell me...!
Sorey...
A domain with so much evil can only belong to him.
He's the Lord of Calamity.
He's...a human hellion!
That's a human?!
But I don't see a human form... Why?
Sorey!
Let us go, Edna.
I guess we can't let Sorey die here.
Can I even purify a thing like that?!
#12 The Lord of Calamity Can I even purify a thing like that?!
#12 The Lord of Calamity
Mikleo...
Over here!
Sorey!
I am a Shepherd and I will purify you...
Lord of Calamity!
Shepherd...
How dare you address my master like that?!
Then show me what you can do.
Purify me?
Such insolence!
Sorey!
I was not aware that a new Shepherd had appeared.
Are you afraid?
Isn't it sweet? The premonition of death...
Lailah!
Fethmus Mioma!
Shepherd...
The eyes of man cannot see...
But you can see how Malevolence has permeated everywhere, can't you?
Lord of Calamity...
Sorey, we are no match for him right now!
All of you, come to me!
The Malevolence...
is gathering!
How can you do this?
Lord of Calamity, you would go this far...?
Shepherd...
Let me see you survive the Malevolence of these hellions
Go!
Can you endure it?
This is the Malevolence of man...its power.
You purify for the sake of humans...
But this Malevolence that attacks you was born out of man.
Makes no sense, does it?
It's laughable.
I have faith...
that I will purify the world one day!
As long as humans exist, Malevolence will never run out.
It is inexhaustible.
I believe!
That someday...
there will be a world where man and seraphim can live together!
Alisha!
Princess, hang on!
The bleeding won't stop!
Where is the aid unit?!
I've sent for them, but...
I'll go check.
- Alisha! - Princess!
M-Maltran...
How do you feel, Alisha?
Maltran...
Did the fighting...stop?
Yes, it stopped. There's no more fighting.
Princess...!
Don't die, Princess.
I'll bring Sorey as fast as I can.
The Shepherd...
He will...!
Don't die, Princess...!
Everyone's alive...
After the princess dies, what'll I do for fun?
But this irksome Malevolence is too strong even for me!
They're alive?
What's happening?
Even the Hyland soldiers...
Send the aid unit in! Hurry!
Which way is the world headed?
You want to defeat my master, don't you?
That is impossible if you can't kill his servants.
Feel the power of the Malevolence that man possesses.
There is no end to the sins they've committed.
Symonne, let's go.
Are you sure?
Live through this, Shepherd.
Become the hope of mankind, and I shall crush you.
Nothing will bring more despair to those who live in this world.
I can't keep relying on Sorey!
Compared to a Shepherd, we're limited in what we can do.
I can scatter them though.
Edna!
Lailah...
Let's go.
Where are you going?
Not you again!
Further south.
You want to go where this Sorey fellow is, right?
So...
Then just go where I tell you.
Which way?
Keep heading south beyond the cliffs.
Roger.
But...
this Malevolence is unbelievable.
It's as though the Malevolence of the world is there, in that one area.
This is really bad.
No kidding.
It looks like it's over.
Yeah.
Sorey!
Don't drop dead around here, okay?
There's still something I want you to do.
Sorey!
I was remembering...
Our first encounter when I mistook you for a Shepherd.
That time I left after saying you would be a suitable Shepherd.
The Sacred Sword Festival where you became a Shepherd.
I was remembering it all.
It's still so clear to me.
You said your dream was for humans and seraphim to live together in peace.
I'm remembering those words
all over again.
The Shepherd in the legend...
I'm certain...
that it's someone like you, Sorey.
And I'm glad that it's you.
Thank you.
I'm glad too, that you were here, Alisha.
You were the first human I ever met.
Maybe that's why I was able to believe in my dream.
I'm thinking of returning to Ladylake.
The fight on the front lines is crucial.
But...
My duty...
is to fight in the political arena to prevent wars.
So that we don't shed blood needlessly.
Alisha, enter into a Squire's pact with me.
Squire?
I want to help you.
But won't I be a burden to you?
Not if I become strong.
Sorey...
All right, I'd like that.
Please make me your squire.
We'll always be together.
Lailah, will you?
Yes.
Sorey...
After I recite the aria, please give Alisha a name in the ancient language.
A new leaf sprouts on the sacred branch that I shelter.
The flower becomes a fruit
The fruit bears a seed
And the twists and turns of karma take root here
and the Shepherd's will bestows life upon the branches of the tree.
Now remember, your name as a squire is...
Melphis Amekia.
It means "smiling Alisha."
Thank you, Sorey.
Let's meet again someday...
Yes, let's meet again.
Hey, how come you're gazing into each other's eyes?
Let me join in?
H-Hey, Rose!
This is farewell for us too. So why only Sorey?
Oh you... All right then.
Aw, so proper!
They sure get along.
That's called the spring of youth.
Not.
C'mon, shake hands, Sorey.
Sorey!
Shepherd!
You intend to blight my military exploits?!
I, Landon, won't forgive you!
Landon, your appearance...
If I take your head to Lord Bartrow...
he will know who is more important to this nation!
This is...
This is his transformation into a hellion.
Hellion...
Sorey, he's the one who attacked the princess!
He hurt Alisha...?!
The kingdom has no use for an ignorant princess like you either!
I'll finish you and the Shepherd right now!
A thing like this...
tried to take Alisha's life?!
No, Sorey! Don't give in to anger!
You bastards...
Because there are guys like you...
this world is...
No, Sorey!
Sorey...
Because of guys like you...
Stop, Sorey!
The Malevolence will take over him.
- Sorey... - Handled it perfectly.
Sorey...
I'll take him back to Ladylake.
He'll have a proper trial and judged according to law.
Do you agree?
Sorey...
You endured it well.
I'm relieved.
Shepherd Sorey...
What now?
Do you remember that debt you owe me?
She's probably thinking of something ridiculous.
I totally agree.
I have a request.
I knew it.
Request?
Don't worry. I'm not going to ask you to take sides in the war.
- You should refuse. - I totally agree.
I have some business in Rolance.
Will you come with me?
He's a hard one to negotiate with.
And I figure things will go smoothly if the Shepherd's with me.
- That's all? - That's all.
What do you all think?
I guess...
We were scheduled to go to Rolance anyway.
It's your decision, Sorey.
Okay, we'll go to Rolance with you, Rose.
Great! So we're even now.
By the way, is that guy around here?
What guy?
You know, that guy.
Oh, that guy's over there.
Are you serious?
Sheesh!
That guy might be quite a character, after all.
It's going to be pretty interesting.
So silly.
Come on, let's go.
