Reincarnated as a Sword (2022) s01e06 Episode Script

The Greater Demon Was a Cheater

1
To put a stop to the Goblin Stampede,
we took on the goblin dungeon
together with the other adventurers.
Yet, Fran and I defeated
the Goblin King and Queen ourselves.
However, in the depths of the dungeon,
we were met with an overwhelmingly
powerful Greater Demon.
"Skill Taker," he said?
Now, then, I'll take my time
and torture you to death.
Fran!
What?
What's this?
My skill didn't work?
He didn't take your skill, Fran?
I still have it.
I see.
The sword skills
are shared between Fran and me.
That means he can't take borrowed skills.
Curses!
Thank goodness.
You seem to be in a pickle, Greater Demon.
Rejoice!
I shall summon
the strongest elite goblins.
Defeat that invader
and the other adventurers!
Destroy Alessa!
Alessa?
Darkness Magic: Black Bomb.
You bastard! What are you doing?
Shut up and stay out of my way!
If you interfere,
I'll tear off all your limbs.
Got it?
I feel kind of bad for him.
I'm done playing games.
I don't intend to stay
in this shabby dungeon forever.
It's much more fun
to go out and destroy human cities.
So hurry and just die!
Teacher!
Something big is coming!
Darkness Volteccer!
Fran!
Such impact! Could the little girl…
Wild Impulse!
Darn it! It won't budge!
Mr. Donadrond…
Break down the door!
Fran…
hang in there!
What incredible power!
EPISODE 6: THE GREATER DEMON IS A CHEATER
So you narrowly dodged that.
Fran, sorry,
but I'm getting us out of here.
He is on a completely different level.
We don't stand a chance
against him right now.
You're right. I'm no match for him
with my current abilities.
But…
if that guy gets to Alessa,
he'll destroy the shop and the guild.
A lot of people will die.
If that happens…
If that happens, it'll be troublesome.
So…
Fran?
Lend me your power, Teacher.
Here I come! Darkness Spear!
Fran wants to become stronger
so that she can evolve.
But that's not all.
Deep inside, Fran wants to become stronger
to protect others too.
Fran will surely become strong.
As her teacher,
how could I possibly hold her back?
Fran,
we're not going anywhere.
You asked me to lend you my strength.
Retreat is not an option.
Teacher!
Thank you.
You're taking it easy.
Darkness Blaster!
She can really dart about.
So I said, but his stats
are on another level entirely.
And he can cast chain magic.
Sword skills alone
won't be able to damage him.
Does he have any weaknesses?
How irritating.
I'll destroy all of you!
Black Bomb!
Darkness Blaster!
Darkness Volteccer!
Fran, get up!
The next hit is coming!
Darkness Blaster!
Are you destroying the dungeon too?
Curses! He's attacking indiscriminately!
Indiscriminately?
Wait. He seems to be deliberately
avoiding that Dungeon Master.
Why? Is he a tsundere?
No, that's not it… Think.
What is it? I remember
hearing something about this before…
Aim for that guy!
Fire Arrow!
Dang it!
Teacher.
I knew it.
Donadrond, what happens
when the Dungeon Master is defeated?
The core will go
into a state of hibernation.
All activity inside the dungeon
will come to a halt.
The monsters inside will perish as well.
Well, that's what I think.
Dungeon Master.
That's right.
If we defeat him,
the Greater Demon he summoned
will be stopped too.
I see.
So that's why he's protecting him.
Yes. We've finally found his weakness!
Our target is the Dungeon Master!
-Fire Javelin!
-Fire Arrow!
What?
-Flare Blast!
-Fire Arrow!
Fire Javelin!
She can cast chain magic?
And non-verbally too!
It burns! Protect me!
Shut it, useless Dungeon Master!
Don't you have any self-defense skills?
We've stopped the Greater Demon's attacks.
But because of the barrier he put up,
he's practically unharmed.
At this rate, we'll exhaust our mana
before we can defeat him.
Fran.
I'm sure you can tell as well.
We won't be able to defeat him
with what we've been doing.
So we'll take a chance.
We'll stake everything we have
on a single move.
Will you be willing to do that?
Of course!
All right. Here's the plan.
Too easy!
Darkness…
-Here it comes!
-Yes!
Volteccer!
Good. Magic Perception!
After casting powerful magic spells,
there's a three-second gap
before he recharges his mana.
If it's Fran,
she should be able to use this time
to throw me towards him using Wind Magic.
Now, Fran!
I hate to admit it,
but I can't defeat him
in my current state.
That's why…
Wind Magic!
Sonic Shooter!
I'll give everything I have to Teacher!
Leave it to me!
She threw out her sword?
Go!
Go, Teacher!
I just have to follow this arc
and I'll hit the Dungeon Master.
Then victory will be ours!
So that's how it is.
Not on my watch,
you useless sword!
Teacher!
You won't penetrate my defenses!
I've been waiting for this exact moment!
It curved!
Ultimate Move! Telecatapult!
I pretended to aim for the Dungeon Master.
But my real target is your crystal!
Take this!
That was close…
He stopped me! He's a monster!
What the hell is with this sword?
Its mana is getting stronger!
Hey, Greater Demon.
The sword spoke!
How dare you hurt my precious Fran?
I'll return everything you've done
to Fran!
With all my mana at once,
I'll let you have it all!
B-ranked Greater Demon,
become Fran's experience!
Impossible…
My mana is gone…
You're amazing, Teacher!
We've finally defeated him…
But…
My mana has also reached its limit…
Teacher!
Teacher!
Teacher…
Teacher!
Teacher…
Oh, this crystal is divine…
Fran, don't try to kill your teacher.
Teacher, you're alive?
Yes. I can restore my mana
by absorbing crystals.
And I can self-recover too.
So it's fine even if I take some damage.
Teacher, you dummy…
You fooled me.
I made you worry.
Teacher really is an amazing sword!
Not so forceful, Fran…
-Impossible…
-I haven't fully recovered yet…
I can't believe the Greater Demon
was defeated by a little girl.
But it's not over
for the goblin kingdom yet.
I just need to summon more demons
with Goddess points!
I have faith in my luck.
I'll summon an even stronger Greater Demon
who will obey my commands!
This time I'll definitely…
Dungeon Master.
It's over.
Are you going to kill me?
It's no use!
As long as I have
this Sacrificial Bracelet,
I can revive even if you kill me…
M-My hand!
That settles that problem.
A valuable item should be recycled.
My hand…
Now die.
Wait, Fran.
That guy is already dead.
The dungeon came to a halt.
Is it over, Teacher?
Yes. We've cleared the dungeon!
Dungeon clear!
Little girl! Are you all right?
Fran!
Donadrond?
I'll be taking the demon's sword.
I was wondering
why the door suddenly opened.
Did you defeat the Dungeon Master?
Seriously?
What's that thing?
That's a demon!
According to appraisal,
that's a Greater Demon
with a B threat level.
Did you solo it?
Yes.
He was super strong.
No way!
That's a B-rank monster!
I'm glad you're alright. I was so worried.
Donadrond…
Now then…
I believe I told you that it was dangerous
to act on your own, didn't I?
It seems I must reinstill
the ten rules of an adventurer into you!
Rule number one,
work harder than anyone else!
-Rule number two, do no evil!
-There it is. Donadrond's famous scolding…
-Rule number three…
-The hundred reviews of the ten rules…
-cause no trouble for others.
-Is that his Intimidation skill?
Rule number four, be a good adventurer!
Rule number five,
always do your quests with a smile!
Donadrond continued scolding Fran
until the light left her eyes…
FRAN, LV: 25
Fran, you're at Level 25!
You were Level 12
when you entered the dungeon.
You've grown a lot!
You got new skills and titles,
and your stats have gone up a lot too!
You're on par with Donadrond now!
And I've gotten a lot stronger too.
My Self-Evo is at Level 8 now
and my stats have gone up!
My skill levels have increased too.
Fran, what skills do you want
to level up with my new points?
Miss Fran?
What?
You're awful, Teacher.
I can't believe
you were only thinking about skills
when I was getting chewed out.
I've been found out…
Of course not…
We made a promise, didn't we?
Promise?
The curry, Fran!
Curry!
That's right! I was thinking about
how to prepare my special curry
to celebrate our victory!
What is curry?
It's a stew made with vegetables
and spices served over steaming rice.
It sounds yummy!
And let's make super deluxe curry
by adding delicious beast meat!
Meat!
I want to eat it so badly!
Right?
Curry… Meat curry…
That was close.
So about the skills…
Skills are important too.
The most important thing after curry!
After curry…
Well, never mind.
What skills do you want to level up?
Sword Art and Sword Technique!
I figured as much.
Magic might not be as effective
against strong enemies,
but sword skills can come in handy
in unfavorable situations.
Right.
All right! Let's max them out!
Level up!
Sword Art and Sword Technique
have been increased to Level 10.
Master Sword Art 1
and Master Sword Technique 1 gained.
Sword Technique and Sword Art
have been mastered.
Sword Attribute 1 unlocked.
We've unlocked
quite a few high-level skills.
Master Sword Art… That sounds really cool!
Sword Attribute appears to allow you
to equip the sword with attributes
for a certain period of time.
I want to try
using a sword enshrouded in flames!
All that's left is…
That skill!
Are you referring to Skill Taker?
Yes.
A cheat skill that allows you
to take your opponent's skills.
Maybe it seals the opponent's skills too.
You're right.
And deal with opponents
without crystals too.
In other words, we might be able to
steal skills from humans too.
Whoa!
So, what do you say
we level up Skill Taker?
Yeah. Teacher will make good use of it.
All right then…
Skill Taker has been increased to Level 2.
Oh, the chance of success increased!
All right! Let's max it out!
Skill Taker has reached Level 10.
There is a 100% chance of
obtaining a skill from a target.
May only be used once on each target.
After use, the skill can only
be used again after 432 hours.
Wow, 100%! That's guaranteed success!
I can't wait to try it out!
Should we take Donadrond's skill?
You'll get into trouble for that, so no.
Regardless, we can't steal from allies.
I wonder if we'll come across
an annoying old man with a rare skill?
I've received the report.
I've been waiting for you, Fran.
Yes.
First, allow me to express my gratitude.
I didn't expect that there would be
a B-ranked monster in the dungeon.
Truthfully, the fact that you went ahead
and took the Demon down
has caused us quite the trouble.
But had you not defeated it,
we probably would've had
a lot of casualties.
As such, I will let the matter slide.
That's great…
We've received
the Greater Demon's corpse as well.
I thank you
for handing it over to the guild.
The body has been damaged,
but it is top-grade material,
so there would be a lot of complaints
if we let you have it all to yourself.
Well then,
I have one more question for you.
What happened to the crystal?
I figured he would bring this up.
A crystal from such a powerful monster
is precious and highly sought after.
Even countless countries would want
to get their hands on it.
The whereabouts of such an item
will inevitably draw
a lot of dubiety and questions.
"Why wasn't it handed over
to the authorities?"
I guess we can't get away with
claiming such a crystal for ourselves…
Right.
It was destroyed when I killed him.
It disappeared.
Is that true?
Yes. That's the truth.
I thought it would be easier
to deal with a high-ranking adventurer.
But I guess it's fine since the spirits
aren't causing an uproar.
I take it that you hold no ill intentions.
I'll let this matter go--
Hold it right there!
You there, little girl…
You're lying!
You can't hide anything from me.
A genius like myself knows everything.
Who is this guy?
