The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest (2022) s01e08 Episode Script

1
I think this is the shorter route.
But our hotel is over there.
The three of you, listen to me calmly.
-Telepathy?
-What's wrong?
I think we are being followed.
Being followed?
No wonder you took a different route
all of the sudden.
They are most likely the lord's subordinates.
They don't seem kind.
Let's use the Stealth Magic first
and see what they'll do.
Strike back if we are sure
that they mean us harm.
They are gone!
Darn it! Where did they go?
I'm sorry. We are lost.
Can you tell us how to get back to our hotel?
Your hotel is over there.
You know which hotel we are staying in?
This is bad.
Don't move! Do as we say
if you don't want to get him killed.
Somebody, save me!
-Matty.
-I'm going to be killed!
-Is he reading a script?
-I'm going to be killed!

THE STRONGEST SAGE WITH THE WEAKEST CRES
EPISODE 8: STRONGEST SAGE: SAVING THE CITY
Help!
Shut up! Be good and keep quiet.
What do you want from us?
I already know your team's strength.
He's the weakest one among you, right?
That's a huge misunderstanding.
Because he's a Healing Mage.
Yes. The three of them defeated the demon.
The lord has found out about it.
You'll become the lord's subordinates.
You'll die if you refuse.
Iris, don't use any weapon.
Just put them to sleep.
Okay.
Are you joking?
How can you defeat us with your bare hands?
She's a monster!
Next, it's my turn.
Hey, aren't you afraid
that I'll kill the hostage?
Last now.
Okay. They are all unconscious now.
Next
This is a Detection Magic, right?
Yes. I'm searching for demons too.
After all, it's very likely
that this is the demons' doings.
Matty, good morning.
What are you looking at?
A letter from the king's messenger.
We have to go out.
There's no one here.
Is this really the rendezvous point?
I already know that you are there.
Come out.
I'm sorry. I am Eyck.
I'm sure that Matthias can find me.
So, the king has ordered me
not to show myself until I am found.
Did you choose this place because you want to
stay under the lord's radar?
Yes.
About the atrocity conducted by
the lord of the dungeon city, Melchia,
this is His Majesty's decree.
Please tell me about it.
Arrest Dogiel Mercia,
the lord of Melchia at once.
Besides, if Matthias and his companion
wish to do so,
they can arrest the lord under Eyck,
the royal representative's witness.
It will be a great help to us.
Are you going to perform the arrest?
Yes. Are the three of you okay with that?
Yes. The dungeon city is in a terrible mess now.
We can't sit back and do nothing.
I agree.
I've performed a Detection Magic on the lord.
So, I know where he is right now.
He's at a mansion that is located
in the suburb of this city.
But that mansion is heavily-guarded.
Do you need the support
of the Order of Chivalry?
It's okay. We can manage by ourselves.
I see.
Okay. Let's arrest the lord.
It feels a little bit creepy.
Yes. The gate is closed
although it's still daytime.
And I don't see any guards.
But there are many people inside.
Looks like it's heavily-guarded.
Did someone expose us?
Very likely.
This is too dangerous. Let's retreat for today.
No. We should meet them head-on.
Everyone is waiting to welcome our arrival.
You barged in from the front door?
And it's just five of you.
Are you an idiot?
That reward will be mine!
Leave it to me.
She blocked our attack.
Is that the Barrier Magic?
Lurie, well done.
You have gotten faster
at performing a magic spell.
Thank you.
Next, leave it to me.
Battle complete.
You defeated so many people
in a blink of an eye.
I want to fight too.
Finally, I understand what His Majesty meant.
We should never be against Matthias.
I think the lord's room is on the second floor.
Based on the Passive Detect,
there is no one on the second floor.
Instead, I can sense something in the basement.
But there's no basement
according to the blueprint.
This is it.
Let's go.
It has become quiet.
Did they manage to take down the intruders?
If that's the case,
someone will report it to us.
This silence is too eerie.
It's impossible for them to defeat
so many people in such a short time.
But just in case,
you better go up and take a look
through the secret tunnel.
So, there's a secret tunnel.
You are really well prepared.
Who are you?
Did you hire some kids to fight for us?
No.
You sent assassins after me
without even knowing what I look like.
Don't tell me that you are
that Matthias Hildesheimer.
Who else can I be?
How did you get in?
Where are the others?
All of you can come in now.
Idiot. You are standing so far away
from your female guards.
Guards?
Attack, everyone!
Die!
Why? Aren't you a Healing Mage?
You believed that?
You can tell that he's not one
by looking at his equipment, right?
Dogiel Mercia.
Based on His Majesty's decree,
you are now arrested.
What?
I am the royal representative.
And Matthias is in charge of the arrest.
I can't accept this.
This brat
Sorry. I'm just a brat.
Just you wait. If something happens to me,
this city will be in danger.
I just put him to sleep.
Although he is an idiot,
I'm sure you can get some information
out of him if you interrogate him properly.
I'll take him to the royal capital.
Please do.
We still have other things to do.
Other things?
We need to investigate
how our information is leaked.
You are right. How did they find out
about the content of the king's letter?
Look at this.
Is that a letter?
It has the information stating that the lord
will be arrested together with the date.
How did they find out?
This letter has some lingering
magic power on it.
I think the demons had read our letters.
Demons?
What are they concocting with the lord?
I think their target
is the dungeon in this city.
Are they targetting the Magistone?
No. I think their target
is the dungeon's Dragon Vein.
The Dragon Vein here is bigger than
the one in the royal capital.
If they put the spell on the Dragon Vein,
catastrophe will fall upon the entire world.
Catastrophe will fall upon the entire world?
I'll return to the royal capital
to report it at once.
Please do that. And hurry up.
Please wait.
Did you hear anything?
Incoming.
No. It's an earthquake!
The demons have started
to disrupt the Dragon Vein.
Matty.
The Magic Sense
Yes. A huge number of demons
are heading over here.
The demons have disrupted the Dragon Vein.
So, it has attracted a huge number of demons.
This must be what the lord meant.
We have to stop the demons
from disrupting the Dragon Vein.
What about the demons?
If this continues, Melchia will be destroyed.
It'll take two hours for
the army of demons to reach here.
Let's enter the dungeon now.
We have to defeat the demons within two hours.
I don't see any demons here.
I think they are hiding in the deeper levels.
I'm sure they've laid out some traps
since they are expecting us.
Iris, crumble the wall around here.
Okay.
This is the giant dungeon's Dragon Vein.
What a powerful magic.
And I can sense some demonic aura
within the aura of this magic power.
You are absolutely right.
What do you mean?
I think the demons have already
set up a mechanism
on the Dragon Vein a long time ago.
And this time,
they are going to complete the final step.
Can we stop it?
Yes. Let's split up.
I'll head over to the level
that the demons are hiding in.
What about us?
Stop this mechanism and
restore the flow of the Dragon Vein.
Wait. We have to do it by ourselves?
I believe in your power, Lurie.
You'll be fine, Lurie.
You have me.
I will protect you too.
Okay. I'll do my best.
I've laid down a formation that enables us
to communicate.
We can't use Telepathy Magic
when we are too far away.
But with this magical formation,
we can communicate in this dungeon.
Let's do it.
Lurie, can you hear me?
-Can you hear me?
-What's the progress?
I've already found the source of the issue.
I'm trying to restore it now.
If you make a minor mistake,
the worst outcome will be
to blow up the entire city.
So, restore it carefully.
Okay.
The demons will arrive in Melchia in an hour.
We don't have much time.
And I'm getting closer to the demons now.
Lurie, I can't talk to you after this.
Okay. Please be careful.
Come out.
Are you the one who's tampering
with the Dragon Vein?
So what if I am?
I can sense a minor glitch in his magic power.
Is he using the Communication Magic?
Someone is eavesdropping through him.
Even if he's Matthias Hildesheimer,
he can't interfere with the Dragon Vein
while he's on the move.
I'm sure he has a companion.
Although that person is not that powerful,
that person is very cautious and stable.
Defeat Matthias and get rid of the person
who's interfering with the Dragon Vein.
Don't underestimate your opponent.
Understood. I'll follow your orders
and fight him with caution.
So, someone is giving him orders in the dark.
And that demon is very familiar
with magic and the Dragon Vein.
Interesting.
I haven't been so serious in a fight
for a long while.
The legendary Matthias Hildesheimer
is still a human after all.
That level of attack won't work on me.
It's a barrier that will explode
when it's attacked.
He's quite troublesome.
Looks like our defence is working well.
Yes. His attack is more powerful than expected.
Get rid of him before your barrier crumbles.
Drawn-out battle is unfavourable to you.
Roger that.
I'm right. He has devised this strategy
to fight against the Crest of Failure.
This demon is stronger than
all of my previous opponents.
Lurie, can you hear me?
Yes.
Get ready with formation no. 14 and 17.
No. 14 and 17, right?
No problem.
Matthias Hildesheimer.
I've already found a way to defeat you.
Let me enjoy it.
The Crest of Failure is proficient
at close combat, right?
Let's have close combat as you wish!
I'm just leading you on.
Take this!
Did we succeed?
Behind you.
Again!
You are really putting on a fight.
I only need to hit you once to kill you.
I'll be fine as long as I'm not hit.
The Crest of Failure
is proficient in close combat.
Don't get too close to him.
Keep your distance and keep attacking him.
Roger that.
The demon giving out orders seems powerful.
He's probably the one who came up
with the strategy against the Crest of Failure.
I want to find out more about that demon.
Let's observe for a while longer.
Was the attack not powerful enough just now?
What about this?
Are you using Magical Chain Attack
so that I'll have nowhere to run?
Is that the end?
Matty, are you okay?
I'm fine. I managed to dodge his attack.
I'll have to ask you to use your magic later.
Okay. Anytime.
He dodged the attack.
His battle instinct is better than expected.
Do I have to continue attacking until
his magic power is spent?
No. A drawn-out fight is too dangerous.
Although it's earlier than expected,
let's continue with phase two.
That trap?
I'm waiting for your trap.
-He's coming.
-Lure him in.
Roger that.
Lurie, is the formation ready?
Yes. I can cast it anytime.
Okay. Initiate no. 14 first.
Okay.
Formation no. 14
will block all the traps that have been set up
in the Dragon Vein.
Why isn't the trap working?
Lurie, cast formation no. 17 now.
Okay.
The trap is not working!
Give me your next order!
Calm down.
Formation no. 17 will disrupt any nearby
communication through the Dragon Vein.
So, it will disrupt the Communication Magic too.
Darn it. How can this happen?
What's wrong?
My barrier is still intact.
Your attack will be useless against me.
Do you want to give it a try?
Idiot.
No matter how I attack it,
it'll deflect my attack.
But
It's pointless no matter
how many times you attack.
Your attack is useless against me.
What?
Why didn't it deflect it?
This Defence Barrier is a great idea.
But you didn't choose the best type of barrier.
This barrier deflects the attack
through explosion.
Every time it's triggered, it can only
deflect the next attack after half a second.
So, I just need to deal him a final blow
after my initial attack
to break the barrier.
You monster!
No. I'm just a human.
Can you hear me? What happened?
The barrier broke.
What?
Matthias Hildesheimer
is indeed Gaius's incarnation.
So, there's a rumour like that?
How accurate.
Impossible. Gaius is already in the past.
If he was Gaius,
you would've been dead.
The demon who's giving out the order
knows about my past life?
If he knows about me,
it means that he's an ancient demon.
Initiate our last phase, Berserk.
Let's end this!
You are running around!
What's wrong? Don't you want to end this?
Impossible.
How did you deflect all of my attacks?
I can't predict all of your attacks.
I just need to use my magic
to predict your attacks.
Then, I just need to eliminate the rest.
What?
With the magic power of the Crest of Failure,
I can wield four to five types of magic
at the same time.
You are dead now.
Dodge it.
It's pointless.
Impossible! How can I be defeated by a human?
Battle complete.
Lurie, I've defeated the demon.
You are amazing, Matty.
Although I believe
that you can defeat the demon,
I never thought that it would be so quick.
Amazing!
The demons that are heading towards Melchia
are slowly disappearing too.
Really?
It's all thanks to Lurie
for restoring the Dragon Vein.
Well done.
Alma, Iris, are you okay?
Yes.
We defeated all the demons.
Actually, I want to fight longer.
Now, we have another thing to do.
Let's search for the demon
that gave out the orders.
Yes.
I want to trace his magic power.
Restore the disrupted Dragon Vein for me.
Okay.
Reverse Detection won't work on me.
He's eavesdropping on
me and Lurie's conversation?
Matthias Hildesheimer.
Do you know where I am?
The magic is coming from
more than 10 kilometres away from here.
I remember that there's
a city nearby called Elinia.
But I think it's just bait.
I don't know.
But I know that you are not in Elinia.
What a pity. I really hope that I can trick you.
We'll fight again one day.
Look forward to it.
There's no reason for me to fight you.
But I do.
Do your best to come up with some strategies.
You'll have to find me first.
I've lost connection with him.
Looks like the relay station
in Elinia has been destroyed.
He's indeed different
from those previous demons.
He'll be a worthy opponent.

What is it?
Can you appear as a hybrid
of a human and dragon?
I'll give it a try.
"EPISODE 9: STRONGEST SAGE, DUEL"
I think I've tried too hard.
