Blood Blockade Battlefront (血界戦線)

Ever since that day, I've had the dream again and again.

Fear that can't be wiped away.

A repeated sense of unease.

Days of regret and repentance that go on forever.

Even now, I can't stop shivering.

I stand stock still.

Then, as I endure it, I wake up.

As always, without any answers.

I'm in a bad dream today, too.

I was dreaming.

Of my peaceful past.

Of days of contentment.

Of warm memories.

The rememberances are more vivid than when I lived through them.

I won't tolerate forgetfulness.

I don't have to wake up to understand.

That this is just hopeless reality.

The solitude we wanted to understand of one another, courage, joy...

Hatred and sorrow that are hard to break away from...

What can I do to face the reality that's closing in on me?

Welcome home! This is the last stop of your life!

Do you know where you are...

...newbie corpse?

Hmph. You're alive after all. Don't try to deceive me!

I'm dead.

BLOOD BLOCKADE BATTLEFRONT

What the heck can I do?

That's some fog, right, Guevara-san?

Indeed!

You can't see a thing, can you, Guevara-san?

Indeed!

Is this the "Second Collapse"...

...advertised by the boy calling himself "the King of Despair", Guevara-san?

Indeed!

How long are you going to stand around smoking?

Aren't we supposed to look for Leo-kun? Let's get a move on!

Klaus!

I got a report from Leo.

He's waiting for the arrival of the wizards to start repairing the destroyed fields.

And we got an official request...

...to cooperate with the investigation of the lost last one.

It's already been three years...

Or it's only been three years...

Either way, it's a reunion with the white darkness.

Yahoo!

Hey, hey, hey, what's goin' on?

It's like three years ago all over again!

- Shut up. - You're being inconsiderate, Deldro.

Still, I hope Leo's okay.

I saw the footage too...

...and in all probability, he's with the enemy.

I hate to think what'll happen when he's no longer of use.

No, he's fine.

Look around. The gravity hasn't changed yet.

Three years ago, the whole city was in chaos with that "eternal hole" just overhead.

- The force field is still... - It isn't destroyed.

The cause is probably the last one.

We believe it's Mary Macbeth.

The supposition is that it's inside her.

Is that even possible?

The wizards who made the field are from an infinite variety of schools, each with their own power.

It's possible that one method wove life force itself into the field.

Although that is forbidden.

I believe that during the Collapse, Mary and her parents were caught up in something...

...and she's been living for the past three years fused to the force field.

If it's true, that girl is something we haven't seen before...

..."a force field with a will".

It's quiet.

Too quiet.

Took advantage of the fog to stop me?

Ghost...

I can't let the brat search...

Dammit...

I'm sleepy...

If the King of Despair is using the Eyes of the Gods to find the field...

...then he won't kill the brat, right?

Anyway, without Leonard here, we're wasting time.

We must find him!

- Right. - Yes, sir. - Yeah.

Come on, get up!

This is no time to be dead, kiddo.

Who the heck are you?

Under these circumstances, does it really matter who I am?

After all, you can't see me, right?

I passed it off as "random terrorism."

Since it was just graveyard vandalism.

No idea what you mean.

- Are you an acquaintance of Black? - Black?

Oh, the vessel...

No.

I just know what's inside of him.

You've become worn out since the last time I saw you.

Can you save the world when you've become a wuss like this?

Leonard Watch.

"First, we're going to destroy the world."

BLOOD BLOCKADE BATTLEFRONT

Heads? Tails?

It's a game.

It looks like you've got tons of questions you wanna ask.

So if you win, I'll answer all of them.

If you lose...

...you'll stay here forever?

- What's that look of relief for? This is supposed to be a bet! - I'm not relieved!

I thought maybe you'd kill me if I lost, so I was just kind of surprised...

Why would I do that?

You're already gonna die, so why do I have to get my hands dirty?

Reflect on that. Jeez.

Right...

For some reason, this horrendous sense of deja vu is way too familiar!

Well, the result is either dying in here or dying out there.

It's one or the other.

So choose, boy.

Which one will it be?

Aren't you worried about Leo-kun?

Why do I gotta worry about that slit-eyed pube-head?

After all, he's an average person.

He's just an ordinary boy with special eyes.

Stephan...

Squint.

There's a light.

I...

What'd you do that for?

You got the wrong idea about me!

We're Libra!

You know what that means?

No matter what happens, we're prepared for it!

Have we had this conversation before?

I don't remember...

Yeah. You know, Klaus, when I think about what happened three years ago, I get depressed.

But I don't think today is the same thing as that day.

It's been three years since the Collapse.

And we've been studying diligently every day since then.

You're here? You come to eat my sweets or something?

Nope.

I'm just here to see you.

You let the kid escape, didn't you?

He declined to play our games.

- Your game... - Yours, too.

Even if he had questions, they weren't for me.

He said, "I can't afford to stay here forever, so I'm not playing your game."

- That's ordinary. - It is ordinary!

You should have just left him here.

But that would've been boring, right?

For you.

For you, too.

What are you daydreaming about this time?

K.K....

I guess that's what happens when you get older.

I know where the video was shot.

The cemetery at St. Arianad Central Hospital.

Hey! What are you doin' dog-breath?

Even though you're going on about being prepared, you were totally unprepared for that.

Stupid monkey.

Get your ass down here!

Was I relieved?

I'm sorry, Klaus-san.

I can't see the light well...

Three years ago too, I encountered the Collapse right here.

It was beautiful.

It was a sight that overturned all emotions, values, and notions that make a person who they are.

There was a sense of exaltation that confirmed there was hope ahead.

I saw a dream.

We were unlucky. Me, them, those two in the city...

"The Fallen." "Blue." "The Devil." "The King of Despair."

You have many names, "Watchman."

You've been a spectator ever since Rome, but have stayed here since the Collapse.

If you're gonna do it, have fun.

You need more "nonsense."

Huh?

See, he's pretty brazen when it comes to stuff like that.

As long as he's not dead, I'm sure he's alive.

You say I don't have enough "nonsense?"

Go to hell.

Our very existences are absurd.

What is this?

Enemy attack?

- I don't know! But I think we're all in trouble! - Is it an enemy attack?

This is all just a game after all.

What is that?

- Where are they from? - There's no end!

What should we do, Klaus?

Notify all members.

On top of securing Leonard, they're to exterminate the ghouls!

What is that? It's definitely not cute.

You don't get it, Aligula-chan.

Zombies are a must for the entertainment!

I'm sure they're just time-killing by-products.

Of course!

The living needs a sideshow!

Yay!

- Gilbert. - Sensei!

This is bad!

I'm sure William-kun...

I mean that king? Is behind this!

With this going on, he'll die before Klaus-san even leaves!

Jeez, should I, you know... go myself?

As a teleporter!

- What good could you do? - I would just go! After all, I'm a teleporter!

Never mind!
