Black Summoner (2022) s01e02 Episode Script
Dark Knight
1
My name is Kelvin. I don't know
what happened in my last life,
but I've been reborn into another
world as an adventurer.
The goddess of reincarnation, Melfina,
has been looking out for me here.
She says that in my last
life, I was kind of crazy.
I sacrificed my memories
for skills in this life.
Clotho and I spent our days taking
jobs from the guild and leveling up.
Thanks to my Double Skill Points
and Double Growth Rate skills,
Double Skill Points
Double Growth Rate
Experience Sharing
I got a ton of bonuses upon leveling
up, and 100 skill points!
I took Concealment (Rank D)
from the huge list of skills.
Assist Effects
Concealment (Rank D)
I was reincarnated from another world,
and had a ton of rare skills.
In order to be able to live a peaceful life,
I want to level up to
Concealment (Rank B) soon.
Leveling up also gave Clotho
the Absorb (Rank F) skill!

Kelvin, congratulations!
With this job, you've been
promoted to Rank E adventurer!
Thanks.
To be honest, when you started taking
higher-ranking jobs without forming a party,
I was worried.
It wasn't that you didn't
form a party. You couldn't!
If I did, they'd find out instantly
that I was a summoner.
And I've got a strong partner, Clotho.
I don't need one.
Weren't you planning on not
standing out, My Lord?
He's already been promoted?
He's the new kid who just
registered as a Rank F, right?
And he's going solo? Really?
Maybe some mage screwed up at his job
and had to become an adventurer.
Kelvin!
Are you a court mage from
some palace somewhere?
You're too strong for a beginner!
Um I can't say much about my past.
Sorry.
No, I shouldn't be asking!
You're not supposed to ask
adventurers things like that.
But do be careful!
Knowing you, you're going after
a Rank D job next, right?
Yes, I am.
Don't worry.
If I think it's dangerous,
I'll turn tail and run.
I'm a fast runner, you know!
At least get better gear!
Your equipment's the same
as it was a week ago!
Okay.
I'll get new equipment.
So please give me a Rank D job.
If you want a Rank D job, why not
take down a Blackghost Knight?
A Blackghost Knight?
Cashel!
You're back?
Hey, Ange. I'm back indeed.
I just got in.
Welcome back.
How'd the job go?
Finished just fine, of course.
The Lizardman nest was a bit of a challenge.
But well, it was a Rank C job.
By the way, you there.
You just got promoted to Rank E, right?
As a more experienced adventurer,
I'm happy for you!
Um, and you are?
I hadn't introduced myself, have I?
I'm Cashel, a Rank D adventurer.
Liar. He's actually as strong as a Rank B.
He loves crushing the new kids.
He's going after the cocky new kid who's
taking jobs above his rank, right?
Nobody in the guild's
stronger than him, either.
Shouldn't somebody tell the mage?
My party's going after a Blackghost Knight.
Want to join us?
W-Wait!
Yes, it's a Rank D job,
but that Blackghost Knight is reported
to be stronger than others!
It's too dangerous for Kelvin!
He just got promoted to Rank E!
It's fine, Ange.
We'll help him, and he'll be fine.
Well
I appreciate the offer,
but I won't join your party.
Somebody as weak as me
couldn't possibly help you.
Don't be humble.

His stats are as high as Clotho's.
He has some worrisome skills, too.
But his title's what I really don't like.
Name: Cashel
Level: 34 Title: Murderer
"Murderer"?
But he's not going to back down
I know what to do.
Why don't we compete, then?
Compete?
Yes, let's compete to see who can defeat
this Blackghost Knight monster first.
Of course, I'll go solo.
Listen, you can't beat that thing solo,
no matter how strong you are.
I'll be going with a party,
as I planned. Is that okay?
Sure.
You're quite confident.
I'm fine with that.
I'll deliberately walk into his trap.
He'll come after me when I'm fighting the
Blackghost Knight, I think, or after.
I'm curious about his party, too.
Well, they'll make good opponents to fight.
Carol, don't push me!
Tell him that Cashel's bad news!
You sure about this, My Lord?
I want to show off what I've gained
from my leveling and training.
He's mumbling to himself!
I'm scared of him!
My Lord, you're making it sound like
we're the ones who set a trap for him.
Quiet!
Sorry!
Kelvin, be careful!
Good luck!
I'll be quiet!
So, what're we looking at?
Oh, Boss. That rookie might be
tougher than we thought.
My Appraising Eye is Rank C.
Which means he's got Rank
C Concealment, at least.
I thought he was a reckless
idiot who wanted to show off.
But your Appraising Eye
can't read his status.
So maybe he's hiding something?
Hey, Cashel.
I get to hurt him like
I did last time, right?
Let me fight first!
Raj, calm down.
He offered us a friendly competition.
As veterans, we need to appreciate
the new kid for being brave.
Call it on-the-job training.
Raj, don't just crush him, okay?
Gotta be gentle!
Sorry, too complicated for me!
I'll just do it like I always do!
I hope you'll entertain me, Rookie.

All the undead monsters are already defeated?
Oh, you're here, Cashel!
And that must be your party!
A verdant staff? So he's a green mage?
He's an idiot.
Verdant Staff (Bonuses for Green Magic)
He can conceal his stats, but his equipment
tells us all we need to know.
I think the Blackghost Knight is
on the other side of this door!
The goal was to see who
could take it out first.
But you were nice enough to wait for us?
So what, you can't beat it
on your own, you think,
and you want our help?
Not at all!
Of course, I'll win our competition.
But I can't have you interrupting my battle.
It's me you're after, right?
I'll fight you right here. Right now.
Boss, he knows about us!
I don't know why you'd
come alone if you knew.
Did the guild hire you?
Or are you after the bounty on these two?
That explains the high Concealment rank!
Are you a bounty hunter
pretending to be a rookie?
Bounty?
They've got a bounty on them?
That changes nothing.
Right, right. You're right.
Nah, just good luck on my part.
You're the ones who approached
me first, right?
You, the big, wimpy one!
Come get me!
Who are you calling wimpy?
Don't lie, mage!
Raj, don't let him provoke you!
What did you do?
Rank D Green Magic: Mud Vine.
It turns the ground beneath my enemy
into a bottomless, muddy swamp,
binding them in place.
That's not all..
He's using the Concealment skill!
Mud Vine takes time to activate.
He set it in place early,
and hid it with Concealment?
My Detect Concealment couldn't detect it!
Damn! My muscles can't
be stopped by some mud!
Wind!
Sorry, I'm out!
Don't you dare run!
There's something real bad about that rookie!
My instincts are telling me that!
My Lord, Gimul has fled.
Cashel will be here in a few seconds.
Yeah, I know.
All part of the plan.
Come forth, Clotho. Don't let him escape!
Clotho has evolved from a
Blue Slime to a Slime Gluttonia.
Slime Gluttonia
His title is "Devourer."
What the hell is this slime?!
I've never seen anything like it!
A
few
days
ago
That's enough for today, I guess.
What's wrong?
Don't tell me you took damage in that fight?
No, My Lord!
Clotho is evolving!
Slime Gluttonia
A Slime Gluttonia.
A legendary quasi-demon-king-class monster
that almost destroyed the
Water Country of Toraj!

You're awesome, Clotho.

Dokirekken!
Cashel, I'll handle this slime!
I'll take you down, at least!
Let's see what you can teach me, Cashel!
He's too strong
So you wanted EXP to level up fast,
and to get it you were hunting new
adventurers instead of monsters?
That's pretty evil.
I'm handing you over to the guild later.
Warm-up exercises are now down!
Time for the main event?
Time to finally meet the
Blackghost Knight everyone's talking about.

Black Summoner
Lately, most people just run at
me with a sword when they see me.
You're the first one to actually talk to me.
I only became a monster with a
personality a short while ago.
I used to be a Knight Captain,
serving my country.
Human, you see.
Why I became a monster
I couldn't tell you.
Maybe I had some unfinished
business in this world?
Gluttonia can change their size.
What's going on here?
Is he just a friendly old guy who likes to talk?
What that unfinished business
could be, I can't say.
But I've been protecting this castle.
Oh, want some candy?
S-Sure.
I can't believe the
Blackghost Knight is like this.
He's happy to have someone
to finally talk to!
I can kind of understand that!
What is this candy? It tastes weird!
I don't know how old it is,
but I didn't expect you to actually eat it.
Even I'm, like, creeped out!
Okay, old man, let's take this outside!
My Lord! The contract! The contract!
Oh, right.
So, will you make a contract with me?
A contract?
The king and country I
served no longer exist.
I'm willing to serve a new king, but
You want to see what I can do, right?
Sure, I'm down for that.
In exchange, give me your all.
Or there's no point!
You're picking a fight with
me, when I'm stronger?
Kid, you really do interest me.
Let's go, old man!
I have a name, kid! It's Gerard!
And my name isn't "kid," it's Kelvin!
Wind Shot!
Clotho!
He stopped all of Clotho's
attacks from his blind spots?
My Lord, Gerard has Mind's Eye!
He gets a bonus to any decisions
that require instant reactions!
Give me your all, kid. Or there's no point!
Earthen Rampart!
Self-destruct?
That slime's got all kinds of tricks!
Jump as far as you can to the side!
Agito!
Crap, I couldn't even see his blade move!
Cleft Chasm!
Even that unsteady ground
doesn't slow him down at all?
Amazing! Really
But
Air Pressure!
What's this?
A spell that uses air pressure
to lock you in place!
Don't get yourself killed, old man!
I-I can't die here
My love
I-I remember.
Alcarl, a country of many
farms and much greenery.
Small, but it was my home.
One day, a messenger from the western
continent, an elf named Jildora, came.
King Alcarl, serve my
nation, the Lizea Empire,
and destroy the Holy Empire of Deramis.
Do you mock us?
Of course, the king refused his demands.
But the elf said
Do not forget, wise king.
If you refuse to obey Lizea,
you will pay a price.
Connie, our daughter
Betty
In but a few days, Alcarl fell.
You served me with loyalty. Now rest.
I hit my limits long ago.
Now what do we do?
I know How about a piece of candy?
What do you think, Connie?
Avenging this nation, Alcarl!
That is what keeps me in this world!
You're kidding me
He knocked away the Air Pressure spell!
Kid, can you
Earthen Rampart!
help me get vengeance?
Air Pressure!
Stop!
Now, Clotho!
Let 'er rip!
Connie Betty I
The
next
day
This is indeed a fragment of
the Blackghost Knight's armor.
Job complete!
Wow, rookie!
You beat the Blackghost Knight
everybody said was dangerous?
We were so sick of Cashel and his gang!
Thanks to you, we're rid of them!
You're going to confess to all
the other crimes you committed.
Expect the death penalty.
Kelvin!
Your last job was designated
as far surpassing Rank D.
Thus, you'll be given a special rank increase
and a personal thanks from
the head of the guild!
I'm glad you're safe
You really are full of surprises.
Yeah, I'm surprised, too.
That Blackghost Knight was really strong.
The girl at the front desk was a beauty.
Think she's a candidate
for your harem, my king?
Wait!
I'm your fiancée!
Oh, you're not to be
underestimated then, my king.

You already had a fiancée, huh?
That's right!
Stop talking inside my head!
Gerard, I told you to stop calling me
a kid, but "my king" isn't any better!
A knight can only serve a king!
And you're not my fiancée, Melfina.
Be honest.
You're just using me as an excuse
to skip out on your job as a goddess.
Well
My Lord, look in front of you!
There's someone there!
Don't change the subject!
It's certainly a beautiful day today.

Kelvin, congratulations!
With this job, you've been

Thanks.
To be honest, when you started taking
higher-ranking jobs without forming a party,
I was worried.
It wasn't that you didn't
form a party. You couldn't!
If I did, they'd find out instantly
that I was a summoner.
And I've got a strong partner, Clotho.
I don't need one.
Weren't you planning on not
standing out, My Lord?
He's already been promoted?
He's the new kid who just

And he's going solo? Really?
Maybe some mage screwed up at his job

Are you a court mage from

You're too strong for a beginner!

I'm a fast runner, you know!
At least get better gear!
Your equipment's the same
as it was a week ago!
Okay.
I'll get new equipment.
So please give me a Rank D job.
If you want a Rank D job, why not
take down a Blackghost Knight?
A Blackghost Knight?
Cashel!
You're back?
Hey, Ange. I'm back indeed.
I just got in.
Welcome back.
How'd the job go?
Finished just fine, of course.

Want to join us?

Yes, it's a Rank D job,
but that Blackghost Knight is reported

It's too dangerous for Kelvin!
He just got promoted to Rank E!
It's fine, Ange.
We'll help him, and he'll be fine.

Hey, Cashel.
I get to hurt him like

Let me fight first!

He offered us a friendly competition.
As veterans, we need to appreciate

Lately, most people just run at
me with a sword when they see me.
You're the first one to actually talk to me.
I only became a monster with a
personality a short while ago.
I used to be a Knight Captain,
serving my country.
Human, you see.
Why I became a monster
I couldn't tell you.
Maybe I had some unfinished
business in this world?
Gluttonia can change their size.
What's going on here?
Is he just a friendly old guy who likes to talk?
What that unfinished business
could be, I can't say.
But I've been protecting this castle.
Oh, want some candy?
S-Sure.
I can't believe the
Blackghost Knight is like this.
He's happy to have someone
to finally talk to!
I can kind of understand that!
What is this candy? It tastes weird!
I don't know how old it is,
but I didn't expect you to actually eat it.
Even I'm, like, creeped out!
Okay, old man, let's take this outside!
My Lord! The contract! The contract!
Oh, right.
So, will you make a contract with me?
A contract?
The king and country I
served no longer exist.
I'm willing to serve a new king, but
You want to see what I can do, right?
Sure, I'm down for that.
In exchange, give me your all.
Or there's no point!
You're picking a fight with
me, when I'm stronger?
Kid, you really do interest me.
Let's go, old man!
I have a name, kid! It's Gerard!
And my name isn't "kid," it's Kelvin!
Wind Shot!
Clotho!
He stopped all of Clotho's
attacks from his blind spots?
My Lord, Gerard has Mind's Eye!
He gets a bonus to any decisions
that require instant reactions!
Give me your all, kid. Or there's no point!
Earthen Rampart!
Self-destruct?
That slime's got all kinds of tricks!
Jump as far as you can to the side!
Agito!
Crap, I couldn't even see his blade move!
Cleft Chasm!
Even that unsteady ground
doesn't slow him down at all?
Amazing! Really
But
Air Pressure!
What's this?
A spell that uses air pressure
to lock you in place!
Don't get yourself killed, old man!
I-I can't die here
My love
I-I remember.
Alcarl, a country of many
farms and much greenery.
Small, but it was my home.
One day, a messenger from the western
continent, an elf named Jildora, came.
King Alcarl, serve my
nation, the Lizea Empire,
and destroy the Holy Empire of Deramis.
Do you mock us?
Of course, the king refused his demands.
But the elf said
Do not forget, wise king.
If you refuse to obey Lizea,
you will pay a price.
Connie, our daughter
Betty
In but a few days, Alcarl fell.
You served me with loyalty. Now rest.
I hit my limits long ago.
Now what do we do?
I know How about a piece of candy?
What do you think, Connie?
Avenging this nation, Alcarl!
That is what keeps me in this world!
You're kidding me
He knocked away the Air Pressure spell!
Kid, can you
Earthen Rampart!
help me get vengeance?
Air Pressure!
Stop!
Now, Clotho!
Let 'er rip!
Connie Betty I
The
next
day
This is indeed a fragment of
the Blackghost Knight's armor.
Job complete!
Wow, rookie!
You beat the Blackghost Knight
everybody said was dangerous?
We were so sick of Cashel and his gang!
Thanks to you, we're rid of them!
You're going to confess to all
the other crimes you committed.
Expect the death penalty.
Kelvin!
Your last job was designated
as far surpassing Rank D.
Thus, you'll be given a special rank increase
and a personal thanks from
the head of the guild!
I'm glad you're safe
You really are full of surprises.
Yeah, I'm surprised, too.
That Blackghost Knight was really strong.
The girl at the front desk was a beauty.
Think she's a candidate
for your harem, my king?
Wait!
I'm your fiancée!
Oh, you're not to be
underestimated then, my king.

You already had a fiancée, huh?
That's right!
Stop talking inside my head!
Gerard, I told you to stop calling me
a kid, but "my king" isn't any better!
A knight can only serve a king!
And you're not my fiancée, Melfina.
Be honest.
You're just using me as an excuse
to skip out on your job as a goddess.
Well
My Lord, look in front of you!
There's someone there!
Don't change the subject!
It's certainly a beautiful day today.
