Noel Stollen : A deep, dark Abyss manifests when
the mana in the air reaches critical mass.
(0:00:04.90)
Noel Stollen : It opens a gate to the demonic realm of Void, (0:00:12.66)
Noel Stollen : and the deeper it goes,
the stronger the beasts that emerge.
(0:00:15.70)
Noel Stollen : On that fated night, (0:00:25.88)
Noel Stollen : my hometown manifested an Abyss
with a depth rating of 12...
(0:00:27.04)
Noel Stollen : Severe enough for beast lords to appear. (0:00:32.67)
Brandon Stollen : Never thought I'd have
to wield you again, buddy.
(0:00:37.93)
Brandon Stollen : Noel. (0:00:45.66)
Brandon Stollen : We're leaving the house at once. (0:00:46.60)
Brandon Stollen : Listen up, Noel. You stay right here. (0:00:57.49)
Brandon Stollen : You'll be safe in this underground shelter. (0:01:00.54)
Brandon Stollen : I must go buy us time until help
arrives from the capital.
(0:01:05.01)
Brandon Stollen : Don't look down on me. (0:01:17.31)
Brandon Stollen : Who do you think I am? (0:01:21.40)
Brandon Stollen : You're looking at the feared Overdeath,
the indomitable devil.
(0:01:23.56)
Brandon Stollen : Don't you worry. (0:01:28.56)
Brandon Stollen : Grandpa will keep you safe,
if it's the last thing I do.
(0:01:30.30)
Brandon Stollen : Noel, my boy... (0:01:45.79)
Brandon Stollen : A man never lets anyone look down on him. (0:01:47.25)
Brandon Stollen : No matter when, no matter where! (0:01:49.92)
Brandon Stollen : Father Time comes for us all, eh? (0:02:38.05)
Brandon Stollen : So much for being Overdeath... (0:02:40.84)
Brandon Stollen : This is a Seeker's final destination. (0:02:44.78)
Brandon Stollen : When you make battle your purpose, (0:02:48.47)
Brandon Stollen : you walk hand-in-hand with death himself. (0:02:51.26)
Brandon Stollen : Noel, do you still desire to be a Seeker? (0:02:56.14)
Brandon Stollen : Would you tread the same path as this old man? (0:03:01.99)
Brandon Stollen : Then you must be a Seeker
who never accepts defeat.
(0:03:17.67)
Brandon Stollen : Can you promise me that? (0:03:21.72)
Noel Stollen : My grandfather's name was Brandon Stollen. (0:03:50.29)
Noel Stollen : In his heyday, he felled Cocytus the Silver,
a beast from an abyssal depth of 13,
(0:03:53.71)
Noel Stollen : and came to be known as the indomitable devil
Overdeath, the strongest Seeker ever.
(0:03:59.29)
Noel Stollen : It's now been two years... (0:04:05.68)
Noel Stollen : and I've become a Seeker,
just as I promised him.
(0:04:10.39)
Noel Stollen : Lloyd, Walter! Intercept the enemy! (0:04:15.85)
Noel Stollen : Tanya, provide rear support! (0:04:19.58)
Tanya Clark : Gotcha! (0:04:20.94)
Walter : Eat it! (0:04:26.41)
Noel Stollen : "Talker" is considered the weakest
support class of all.
(0:04:29.50)
Noel Stollen : And that's what I am. (0:04:33.41)
Noel Stollen : Lesser vampires... (0:06:06.98)
Noel Stollen : As an inferior subspecies,
they're incapable of using magic skills.
(0:06:08.99)
Noel Stollen : But the queen at the heart of them
can reproduce by herself
(0:06:12.76)
Noel Stollen : and issue forth countless kin at will. (0:06:17.65)
Walter : So these things are all the main body's babies? (0:06:21.65)
Noel Stollen : Yeah, but don't take them lightly. (0:06:26.66)
Noel Stollen : They may only be kin, but they're capable
of tearing an ox apart barehanded.
(0:06:29.20)
Tanya Clark : And unless you lop off their heads,
they recover as many times as they like.
(0:06:37.41)
Tanya Clark : Isn't that right, Noel? (0:06:41.00)
Noel Stollen : Yeah. (0:06:43.78)
Walter : Say, Noel. (0:06:47.55)
Walter : If there's a queen out there,
why waste time on the kin?
(0:06:49.34)
Walter : Why not go straight for the queen? (0:06:53.37)
Walter : If she dies, her kin stop moving, right? (0:06:56.74)
Walter : So pick the most efficient— (0:07:00.37)
Noel Stollen : Bad idea. (0:07:01.98)
Noel Stollen : Normally, this quest would be
too much for C-rankers like us.
(0:07:03.77)
Noel Stollen : But if we clear out all the kin
before we take the queen,
(0:07:08.88)
Noel Stollen : our odds of success shoot up. (0:07:12.65)
Noel Stollen : Quit obsessing over speed and efficiency. (0:07:15.04)
Noel Stollen : You'll die. (0:07:17.71)
Walter : Aye, aye, sir. (0:07:19.79)
Walter : You've got the final say
on all battle strategy as our buffer.
(0:07:22.32)
Walter : Wouldn't wanna buck
Blue Beyond's iron-clad rule.
(0:07:26.11)
Tanya Clark : Enough, Walter. (0:07:29.04)
Walter : The only reason we can even attempt
this B-rank quest as C-rankers
(0:07:31.76)
Walter : is thanks to Noel's skill
and silver tongue, after all.
(0:07:35.71)
Walter : We owe it all to our Talker here. (0:07:38.53)
Noel Stollen : "Talker" is a specialized support class. (0:07:41.13)
Noel Stollen : By invoking words with buff effects, (0:07:44.85)
Noel Stollen : we jack up the combat strength of our parties. (0:07:47.65)
Noel Stollen : But our own combat abilities
rank among the worst.
(0:07:51.08)
Noel Stollen : We're dependent on our parties to survive, (0:07:55.01)
Noel Stollen : which is why we're ridiculed
as the weakest class.
(0:07:58.61)
Noel Stollen : Walter, just so you know... (0:08:03.83)
Noel Stollen : Everyone take cover! (0:08:07.14)
Tanya Clark : What's that awful smell? (0:08:10.67)
Lloyd : It's gas. Poisonous, at that. (0:08:12.32)
Walter : Noel's in trouble! (0:08:13.98)
Lloyd : We need to rescue him, and fast. (0:08:15.75)
Lloyd : Tanya, provide backup. (0:08:17.88)
Tanya Clark : Got it. (0:08:19.56)
Lloyd : Tanya! (0:08:22.22)
Walter : Damn, I can't fight like usual. (0:08:32.28)
Walter : We're helpless without Noel...
without our Talker's buffs.
(0:08:35.41)
Walter : Give us orders, Noel! (0:08:40.58)
Walter : Say something, damn it! (0:08:42.72)
Walter : You call yourself a Talker?! (0:08:44.54)
Noel Stollen : Don't look down on me. (0:08:49.88)
Noel Stollen : Don't you dare look down on me. (0:08:55.74)
Tanya Clark : Noel! (0:09:00.11)
Noel Stollen : Go ahead and take a good look... (0:09:01.27)
Noel Stollen : at how a Talker fights. (0:09:03.39)
Noel Stollen : Talker skill! (0:09:07.41)
Noel Stollen : Begin strategy: (0:09:08.99)
Noel Stollen : Tactician! (0:09:10.97)
Noel Stollen : By giving the party orders, (0:09:15.36)
Noel Stollen : I enhance all their abilities by 25 percent. (0:09:17.69)
Noel Stollen : Area attack incoming! (0:09:21.45)
Noel Stollen : You two up front, dodge! (0:09:23.05)
Noel Stollen : Increase morale: Battle Voice! (0:09:27.83)
Noel Stollen : This increases my party members'
stamina and mana by 25 percent.
(0:09:31.27)
Noel Stollen : Tanya, deploy shields on those two! (0:09:35.88)
Tanya Clark : Got it! (0:09:38.14)
Noel Stollen : Lloyd, Walter, resume attacking! (0:09:39.05)
Lloyd : Roger! (0:09:41.31)
Walter : You got it! (0:09:41.31)
Tanya Clark : Noel! (0:09:48.12)
Noel Stollen : There were more of them in hiding? (0:09:50.26)
Tanya Clark : No way... We're done for
if reinforcements reach the queen!
(0:09:51.98)
Noel Stollen : Mental clarity: Peer Support! (0:09:55.53)
Noel Stollen : This stabilizes the target's mental state
and restores their will to fight.
(0:09:58.40)
Noel Stollen : Seventy-four seconds. (0:10:02.45)
Noel Stollen : I'll take the small fry. (0:10:04.46)
Noel Stollen : You three focus on the queen! (0:10:06.34)
Noel Stollen : Tanya, keep deploying their shields! (0:10:08.44)
Noel Stollen : Lloyd and Walter, focus on
checking and dodging the foe
(0:10:10.99)
Noel Stollen : while you ready your biggest attack skills! (0:10:13.80)
Noel Stollen : Halt! (0:10:18.80)
Noel Stollen : Wolf's bellow: Stun Howl! (0:10:20.56)
Noel Stollen : My magic gun, Silver Flame... (0:10:25.64)
Noel Stollen : As a Talker, it's my only
trusty anti-beast weapon.
(0:10:28.59)
Noel Stollen : Ice Bullet! (0:10:33.24)
Noel Stollen : I missed one? (0:10:41.14)
Noel Stollen : I only have one round left. (0:10:43.00)
Noel Stollen : So far, 31 of the 74 seconds
have elapsed, leaving us 43.
(0:10:45.01)
Noel Stollen : Its talons will pierce me in 28. (0:10:48.21)
Noel Stollen : Right on schedule! (0:10:51.96)
Noel Stollen : Limit break: Assault Command! (0:10:56.21)
Noel Stollen : Now! Lloyd, Walter! (0:10:59.84)
Noel Stollen : Activate your attack skills on the queen! (0:11:01.77)
Lloyd : Aura Blade! (0:11:04.51)
Walter : Deadly Drive! (0:11:06.26)
Tanya Clark : All right! (0:11:13.09)
Tanya Clark : We did it, Noe— (0:11:13.96)
Noel Stollen : When the queen dies, (0:11:20.61)
Noel Stollen : her kin stop moving too. (0:11:24.28)
Noel Stollen : Seventy-four seconds exactly. (0:11:30.07)
Noel Stollen : Death of the enemy boss confirmed. (0:11:32.21)
Noel Stollen : Battle complete. (0:11:35.05)
Noel Stollen : Good work, everyone. (0:11:37.71)
Noel Stollen : Blue Beyond's mission is accomplished. (0:11:39.57)
Lloyd : We knew the kin would stop moving
once the queen died, but still...
(0:11:42.82)
Walter : That was too reckless. (0:11:47.35)
Tanya Clark : You idiot. (0:11:49.10)
Brandon Stollen : Stop crying, Noel! (0:11:54.71)
Brandon Stollen : Noel, you're the spitting image
of your late mother.
(0:12:04.44)
Brandon Stollen : But I can tell... (0:12:09.08)
Brandon Stollen : Unlike her and just like me,
you have an innate talent to be a Seeker.
(0:12:11.43)
Brandon Stollen : So what if you're a Talker?
I'll train you into the greatest Seeker.
(0:12:17.00)
Brandon Stollen : Trust me. (0:12:23.56)
Noel Stollen : I trust you. (0:12:28.27)
Noel Stollen : I'll be just like you... No. (0:12:30.09)
Noel Stollen : I'll become the ultimate seeker,
surpassing the notorious Overdeath.
(0:12:33.23)
Noel Stollen : Even as a Talker, the weakest of them all. (0:12:37.48)
Noel Stollen : Etrai, the imperial capital
of the Velnant Empire.
(0:12:46.04)
Noel Stollen : It's thriving in prosperity, and it has
magi-engineering to thank for it all.
(0:12:49.46)
Noel Stollen : Velnant's lands are more
susceptible to the Abyss than others.
(0:12:53.96)
Noel Stollen : Thus the empire spearheaded
magi-engineering,
(0:12:57.97)
Noel Stollen : the research and use
of materials harvested from beasts.
(0:13:02.05)
Noel Stollen : It's now grown into the
empire's biggest industry.
(0:13:05.49)
Noel Stollen : And Seekers, those who hunt beasts
and purify lands tainted by the Abyss,
(0:13:10.14)
Noel Stollen : have naturally become the people's champions. (0:13:14.32)
Tanya Clark : Cheers! (0:13:17.79)
Noel Stollen : Once I turned fifteen
and became certified as a Seeker,
(0:13:19.60)
Noel Stollen : I decided to move to Etrai
and start looking for allies.
(0:13:23.10)
Noel Stollen : After all, Talkers can't fight without a party. (0:13:26.70)
Walter : That was a good day's work! (0:13:30.58)
Walter : We made a cool five million! (0:13:33.38)
Noel Stollen : Walter the Warrior. (0:13:36.02)
Tanya Clark : Look how far we've come. (0:13:37.46)
Noel Stollen : Tanya the Healer. (0:13:40.12)
Lloyd : Given how well we're doing in just
our first year, we can aim much higher.
(0:13:41.79)
Noel Stollen : And Lloyd, our Swordsman and leader. (0:13:47.31)
Noel Stollen : To be honest, having a Scout would
make things even better, but oh well.
(0:13:49.80)
Noel Stollen : For now, I'll focus on building
experience with these guys.
(0:13:54.90)
Noel Stollen : That's step one to fulfilling my ambitions. (0:13:58.05)
Walter : Hey, what's wrong? (0:14:00.65)
Walter : I thought we came here to celebrate.
You not in the mood?
(0:14:02.97)
Noel Stollen : It's not that. (0:14:07.88)
Walter : Come on, then what is it? If you've got
a problem, you can talk to me.
(0:14:08.86)
Noel Stollen : Drop it. (0:14:13.39)
Walter : You still mad about our payout? (0:14:14.78)
Walter : You were so sure we could've
haggled another 500 grand.
(0:14:18.24)
Walter : You care too much about the money. (0:14:21.74)
Walter : Seekers gotta be bigger than that. (0:14:24.22)
Walter : I bet your darling gramps
would say the same thing.
(0:14:26.94)
Brandon Stollen : Listen up. (0:14:32.33)
Brandon Stollen : Seekers need to be particular about money. (0:14:33.26)
Brandon Stollen : Always go into the field with
the best gear and items you can buy.
(0:14:36.28)
Brandon Stollen : Without money, you're powerless.
You can kiss your dreams goodbye.
(0:14:41.97)
Brandon Stollen : Pay no mind to the squawking
of the people around you.
(0:14:45.39)
Brandon Stollen : Notoriety is but a badge
of honor for us Seekers!
(0:14:47.98)
Brandon Stollen : Look at me! They call me a devil! (0:14:51.93)
Brandon Stollen : Just remember: don't let anyone
look down on you.
(0:14:54.64)
Noel Stollen : I'm not mad. That's a done deal already. (0:15:00.80)
Tanya Clark : Yeah, you're the one
who keeps bringing it up, Walter.
(0:15:04.41)
Tanya Clark : It's pathetic. (0:15:07.69)
Walter : He's the pathetic one, not me! (0:15:09.59)
Walter : Noel, your greed's gonna affect
Blue Beyond's reputation!
(0:15:11.59)
Walter : You better be sorry! (0:15:16.81)
Noel Stollen : Yes, yes, I'm terribly sorry.
My apologies for being wrong all the time.
(0:15:18.28)
Noel Stollen : But you, Sir Walter? You're always
in the right! A brilliant example to us all!
(0:15:23.06)
Walter : What's with the attitude?!
I'm two years older than you!
(0:15:27.28)
Noel Stollen : What does age have to do with it? (0:15:31.98)
Noel Stollen : Don't make me laugh.
Skill is all that matters to a Seeker.
(0:15:34.98)
Noel Stollen : You think you can use your seniority
to strong-arm everyone?
(0:15:38.79)
Noel Stollen : Stop being such a big baby, widdle Walter. (0:15:42.04)
Walter : Screw you! All you do is hide
behind us and give orders!
(0:15:45.29)
Walter : You get to chill in safety while we
put our lives on the line out there!
(0:15:49.87)
Walter : So watch your damn mouth! (0:15:54.05)
Noel Stollen : Oh, so that's how you really feel, huh? (0:15:57.85)
Noel Stollen : I guess that makes sense. (0:16:01.57)
Noel Stollen : You're a veritable god of war out there,
unlike me and my useless ass!
(0:16:03.81)
Noel Stollen : Really, a true Seeker among us! (0:16:10.02)
Walter : You're dead. (0:16:13.07)
Noel Stollen : Bring it. You're on. (0:16:14.57)
Lloyd : Knock it off. (0:16:18.03)
Lloyd : We're in public,
and you're making us look like fools.
(0:16:20.00)
Tanya Clark : I swear, you two are such idiots. (0:16:24.58)
Lloyd : Don't say that. They're our teammates. (0:16:27.55)
Lloyd : Let's call it a day and split the reward. (0:16:31.98)
Tanya Clark : Is this all? (0:16:39.64)
Lloyd : Party funds, equipment repair costs,
and the contracting clan's commission...
(0:16:42.10)
Lloyd : After subtracting all that,
we're left with 250,000 fil a person.
(0:16:47.81)
Tanya Clark : But that was such a big job... (0:16:51.92)
Lloyd : Our party's assets
are growing steadily, though.
(0:16:54.43)
Lloyd : If we get another big job,
we can bring home another good haul.
(0:16:58.32)
Walter : Tch. (0:17:02.95)
Noel Stollen : Lloyd, high-paying jobs
like the last one are rare.
(0:17:04.20)
Noel Stollen : Unlike clans, who can get gigs
from the government,
(0:17:08.85)
Noel Stollen : we're just subcontractors. (0:17:12.10)
Lloyd : Yeah, I get that. (0:17:14.27)
Noel Stollen : Normally, clans keep big jobs
like Abyss purification for themselves.
(0:17:16.17)
Noel Stollen : And if they do subcontract them out,
they charge a huge commission.
(0:17:21.71)
Noel Stollen : By the way, where do our
party funds stand right now?
(0:17:28.50)
Lloyd : Huh? (0:17:31.54)
Lloyd : Well, after today,
we're up to 12.8 million fil.
(0:17:32.47)
Noel Stollen : Then let's use that money
to start our own clan.
(0:17:37.34)
Lloyd : Noel... (0:17:44.41)
Lloyd : You know the government charges
20 million fil to start a clan.
(0:17:45.95)
Noel Stollen : Yeah, I do. (0:17:50.79)
Noel Stollen : So I'll cover the remaining 7.2 million fil. (0:17:52.98)
Noel Stollen : We'll still come out ahead having our own clan
rather than taking other people's scraps.
(0:17:56.64)
Lloyd : But we'd also need a building in Etrai
to serve as our clan base.
(0:18:02.51)
Lloyd : Think of the rent! (0:18:08.13)
Noel Stollen : I know a place we can rent on the cheap. (0:18:09.38)
Tanya Clark : But we're still just rookies! (0:18:11.23)
Tanya Clark : We're only C-rank, and we're not
ready to manage a whole clan.
(0:18:13.95)
Noel Stollen : Then when will we be ready? (0:18:17.65)
Noel Stollen : How many years will it take for us
to build the confidence to manage a clan?
(0:18:20.05)
Noel Stollen : How are we supposed to learn the ins and
outs of management without starting one?
(0:18:25.02)
Tanya Clark : Well... (0:18:30.79)
Noel Stollen : As a Seeker, I've been
studying clan structures for ages.
(0:18:32.10)
Noel Stollen : I have all the knowledge we need. (0:18:36.74)
Noel Stollen : All that's left is experience, which we can
only gain by actually doing this for real.
(0:18:39.05)
Noel Stollen : We'll never get it
if we don't take the plunge.
(0:18:44.42)
Lloyd : But we're young and inexperienced.
If we can't win the government's trust,
(0:18:48.78)
Lloyd : the big jobs will still
go to established clans.
(0:18:53.73)
Noel Stollen : You've got it wrong, Lloyd. (0:18:56.59)
Noel Stollen : We're young and good-looking. (0:18:59.15)
Noel Stollen : That counts for a lot. (0:19:02.19)
Noel Stollen : The empire is promoting Seekers. (0:19:04.03)
Noel Stollen : It wants masses of citizens
to aspire to be like us.
(0:19:06.66)
Noel Stollen : Famous Seekers become celebrities,
heroes to the people.
(0:19:10.98)
Noel Stollen : Youth, looks, and charisma... (0:19:15.41)
Noel Stollen : Most successful clans have
members blessed in those areas.
(0:19:18.31)
Noel Stollen : And if we sign endorsement deals with
companies, we'll also get sponsorship money.
(0:19:23.25)
Walter : You're saying the bigwigs will favor us
for jobs because you guys are young and hot?
(0:19:28.39)
Noel Stollen : Yeah. And no need to count
yourself out, Walter.
(0:19:35.12)
Noel Stollen : You've got your own appeal,
even if it's not for everyone.
(0:19:38.67)
Walter : Huh? (0:19:41.79)
Tanya Clark : But I don't like the idea
of selling myself like that...
(0:19:42.36)
Walter : I'm on board. (0:19:46.11)
Walter : No point twiddling our thumbs. (0:19:47.83)
Walter : Let's start our own clan already. (0:19:50.41)
Tanya Clark : Walter! (0:19:52.58)
Walter : I'm serious, Tanya. (0:19:54.13)
Walter : I want fame, power, and money.
Is that so wrong?
(0:19:56.17)
Walter : I'll even get to bag all the babes I want! (0:20:00.65)
Walter : Do you have a better offer? (0:20:03.39)
Walter : Will you be mine if I side with you? (0:20:05.09)
Lloyd : Walter! (0:20:10.06)
Noel Stollen : That makes two against one. (0:20:13.23)
Noel Stollen : Lloyd, you're our leader.
Tell us what you think.
