Gin no Guardian 2nd Season

That's amazing.

Wh-What the heck? There were still this many players left?

I can't believe he beat a boss like that.

That guy has assets!

Want to join our team?

Hey, I think that's actually him.

So annoying...

The Door to Zero

Suigin, everyone's talking about you.

Let them talk.

The only thing I care about right now is restoring my sealed memories.

And...

Hey, what happens to you if your core is taken?

I don't need your sympathy.

Since I was defeated, my job as a guardian will come to an end.

As for how to use the core...

If you go with me to the entrance of Stage 0, you'll find out.

There's something I want to ask you first.

Why hasn't a single high-class player appeared before?

Other than Dark Tiger,

there aren't any powerful players participating in this crucial battle.

That's strange, isn't it?

If a praying mantis tries to capture a cicada,

there'll be a canary waiting behind it.

So now would be the perfect time for someone to take my trophy.

I'm impressed. You already noticed.

It's just as you say.

It's not that a high-class player didn't come.

If you hadn't defeated me so quickly,

the one who would've been lying here would've been you.

Huh? I don't get what you're saying.

Does that mean some super powerful player is hiding somewhere?

If my thoughts are correct,

then there's only one answer.

They're off somewhere, killing.

Exactly. The ten million class players are logging out one after another.

Wait. Why would they all gather just to kill each other?

Were they not interested in the boss?

That's not it. This is just the confidence of the powerful.

To them, Aslan is an enemy that they can defeat at any time.

Yeah, they were probably fighting each other to see who'd fight this stage's boss.

And it wouldn't have really mattered who won.

Which means that I'm lucky that I was able to defeat you.

Or was this a trap set by someone?

Is there still some kind of event going on?

Out of the way!

What?

Hey, these guys...

Those masks...

As you deduced, they're powerful.

That's why I had to find you immediately.

If any of them had gotten to me first, I probably would've never met you.

I see. So basically, the high-class players hate me now.

But first, let's deal with the core.

Hurry and go to Stage 0. That is my final mission.

Shut your mouth!

What kind of boss are you, letting a little brat like this beat you?

Who are you?

I'm Elder Baboon of Inbei.

Hand over that boss's core if you don't want to die.

What? Inwei? Are you allowed to have such a dirty name?

I'm going to report you.

Also, are you the only one here?

The rest of the members are here.

How dare you talk to our elder like that?

This isn't good. Those are the famous thugs, the Silver Backs.

Who are you calling thugs?

We're a reputable organization.

Guys, let's show them our teamwork, strength and effectiveness!

Yeah!

Yeah, they're definitely not the good guys.

More importantly, could you move your foot? Aslan can't breathe.

You can have that stupid mask back, brat.

Don't get a swelled head just because you beat the boss.

You won't even be able to stand when you find out who I really am.

You should just do as you're told.

Hey, cutie, it's a waste of time for you to be with that newbie.

Why don't you join our team? I'll take special care of you...

My ID is Ryuuman. Contact me anytime if you change your mind.

Guys, proclaim our motto!

Tell them our rules of the game!

Yes, sir!

Silver Backs! If you can't beat them, log out!

Silver Backs! Retaliate against society!

Well? Terrifying, aren't we? Now, hurry up and hand over the core.

I hate trash like you more than anything else.

Farin, take care of Aslan.

Okay!

Aslan, you're even redder than usual and feel really hot.

I guess I don't get to move forward until I fight that guy.

Damn it. A surprise attack...

You coward.

Whoops. I guess I missed.

What's with that destructive power?

Well, duh. I'll show you an even stronger attack next.

Hey, look at that coin he has!

It's a one-million Shinryou coin!

He's going to strengthen his item with all that money?

Wow... so you can strengthen your item with Shinryou coins?

Hey, you broke bastard!

Broke? Are you talking to me?

You can't fool me!

You're super poor!

The only way you were able to beat the boss was because you're just lucky.

But you won't be that lucky again.

All victories depend on your assets!

You've probably never seen this before, have you?

This is a pillar of assets that only players

with a million or more can use, the Asset Graph!

Look at that long pillar of assets!

I've never seen one that long!

Mine's this long because my assets exceed five million!

Huh... I don't think it's that long.

Are you mocking me?!

Hey, show this fool our Asset Graphs!

Yeah!

Silver Backs! If you can't beat them, log out!

Silver Backs! Retaliate against society!

Wow, that's the legendary...

All of them have over a million assets!

They're a super team.

I didn't know they had so many million players in their squad...

Do you like comparing lengths?

Huh?

That isn't all!

Our leader is so amazing that their assets exceeds a hundred million!

If you like doing this so much, I guess I'll give it try, too.

Hey, how do you use an Asset Graph?

You don't even know how to use one? Get off your high horse!

Hurry up and hand over the core!

Asset Graph, appear.

What the hell's up with those assets?!

Elder-san, we've never seen anything like that before!

Well? Do you still want to compare?

It's stupidly long!

Ten thousand, hundred thousand, a million, ten million, a hundred million, a billion...

That guy was a Billion Player?

No wonder he beat that boss in an instant!

Do you still want to take the core from me?

To think that he was actually a Billion Player...

Calm down! Keep your cool!

Damn it. I guess I'm reporting to the boss.

What's that?

Hey, that's enough fooling around.

Stop wasting time.

Evil Mirror, Evil Mirror.

That's amazing.

Suigin!

We arrived here in an instant.

So this is the entrance to Stage 0.

And we can now enter with the key that we got earlier.

You're the only one that can enter from here.

We can't enter Stage 0.

Oh, really?

That's why you're going to have to see what lies beyond by yourself.

Got it. You guys wait here.

I'll go with you.

Aslan, you can fly?

All right, I'm heading in.

It's so quiet and white.

Huh? This feels nostalgic for some reason.

Riku Suigin, consume my core.

You'll remember everything that happened here.

My mission has come to an end.

Okay, got it.

What is this?!

Gramps, there's a hole in the top of that tree.

Yes, the ceremony is nearly over.

Ceremony?

Damn it. My mask broke.
