Seisen Cerberus: Ryuukoku no Fatalités

The continent of Kunaan was ruled by sword and sorcery.

Three powerful countries existed there.

The Kingdom of Saint Amoria, the Kingdom of Ishilfeen,

and the Kingdom of Vanlodis.

They were all equally powerful,

and it was clear that any trouble in one

would immediately start a continent-wide war.

And there was an evil dragon on the continent that all men feared.

His name was Dagan Zot.

He scorched the earth, and brought disaster to the people.

Hiiro's party was caught up in a sandstorm in the Morte desert,

and scattered.

Then Sharisharu kidnapped Hiiro and took him to Nambuuko.

The remaining party members searched for him,

but all they found was Saraato, who was about to be attacked by a dragon.

Saraato!

Oh, no!

My friend says he'll take us.

She used the drum sand to deliberately call a dragon?

That's right!

She came out from a dragon's mouth when we first met!

I hate high places.

Are we at Nambuuko's mansion yet?

I'm gonna pee myself.

We're almost there.

Hang in there a little longer.

You just said that.

Dr. Baffaloppa,

the preparations are complete, yes?

Don't worry.

The magic left in the Gyrokias Sphere will be compressed in this mega-magic reactor

and then sent to the three magic reactors at Balbagoa.

If you incorporate the sealing treasure into this you could conquer the continent.

That's how much magical power it has.

Of course, you'll have to use all the magic power in this mansion.

I'll gladly sacrifice a mansion or two for Dagan Zot.

What's this signal?

What's that?

It looks less like an arms merchant's mansion...

...and more like a demon king's castle.

This place was once ruled by a demon king named Gyrokias.

The one that parents used to frighten kids, right?

It wasn't just a fairy tale?

He really existed.

It's said that Gyrokias was defeated by the hero Dalhalbart,

and his castle was destroyed.

But there's still powerful magic left in the ruins.

He's using that to protect his mansion?

Looks like just a dragon.

Make sure there are no intruders!

Yes, sir!

Look at them all.

If we don't hurry they'll find us.

So Nambuuko has finally finished that terrible weapon of his?

The mansion's floating.

Not only can we not get inside,

we can't even get close.

I had Mumu take me there.

I wonder if there's another way in.

But Hiiro is in there.

Saraato? Are you there, Saraato?

Doctor!

Hey—

Saraato!

Saraato, my daughter.

Thank you for coming.

What's that?

Now let's go back to my room.

A magic door.

Let's go.

I'm so glad.

Saraato, you've grown up since I last saw you.

I don't grow up. You know that.

I mean as a person.

Isn't Baffaloppa...?

That's Saraato's father, right?

Someone with his face had a pretty daughter like that?

No way.

Saraato, what are you?

Do you work for Nambuuko?

I was made at Nambuuko's orders.

That's right.

She's a magical doll I made.

What?

Wh-What?!

Impossible.

Not only is she not human, she's not even alive?

Tomitte, did you know?

I kind of noticed.

I didn't think she was a magical doll,

but I knew she was different from us.

So that's why she didn't eat anything.

I thought it was great because it saved on our food budget,

but why didn't you say anything about it?

You didn't ask.

You should've told us anyway!

Why did Nambuuko order your creation?

You know that Nambuuko was at the site of the tragedy of Balbagoa ten years ago, yes?

Impossible! Only I and the young master survived that!

He survived, too, thanks to the Dragonblood Crystal.

A Dragonblood Crystal?

They're made from the blood that drips from Dagan Zot's wounds.

They protect you from the Soul-Destroying Flames.

I was ordered to create the ultimate soldier using the crystals.

Nambuuko wanted a warrior who could fight even in lands

ruined by the Soul-Destroying flames.

But I wasn't interested in that.

I was interested in beauty, and kindness.

So I gave both of those to Saraato.

But...

A weapon doesn't need to smile!

Throw it away!

He doesn't understand beauty.

Did he think I would throw away my masterpiece?

Of course I couldn't.

I pretended to obey him and let her escape.

And then I met Hiiro.

That's right.

But why?

The sound of Hiiro's heart wasn't human.

The young master's heart was switched with Dagan Zot's.

What?

That explains it! The heart and the dragonblood crystals!

Without a heart of your own, you were drawn to Dagan Zot's!

I see! The heart!

Doctor,

I have to go to be with Hiiro.

Leave that kid alone.

I'm worried about you.

The Hour of the Ultimate Dragon, when all disasters will happen, is upon us.

Nambuuko is going to take advantage of that to summon Dagan Zot.

Knowing him, he'll try to use you during the Hour of the Ultimate Dragon.

So you must run.

I'll take you somewhere where he won't find you.

I can't abandon Hiiro.

Don't worry.

Once things calm down I'll change your magical lettering.

Then you'll forget about him—

No! I'm going to be with Hiiro!

Saraato! Saraato!

Sheesh!

That's the first time she's disobeyed me.

And she did it of her own free will...

Does she have a sense of self now?

Take care of her for me! She's my daughter!

Please!

Huh?

I thought you didn't care about us.

Mister, life isn't that easy.

Understood.

Why?

Our task is to save the young master from Nambuuko.

Leave Saraato to us.

Thank you! Thank you!

Take care of my daughter!

Really?

You know where Hiiro is?

You can always find what's important to you.

What is this place?

It's like some kind of huge magical device.

If it needs a magic stone this big,

he must be planning something huge.

Hiiro!

What a touching reunion.

I'm crying.

Young Master!

Let him go!

Run, guys! It's a trap!
