THE INSIGNIA OF AVAN
Sizzle!
Sir Avan!
Is everyone alright?
Thank goodness. Talk about very nice timing.
Master!
I didn't think he had the strength.
Master, are you okay?
I'm in a lot of pain. But I don't have time for that now.
He's more powerful than when he was the Dark Lord.
Not only that, he has the Dark King backing him.
Our enemy is far beyond my expectations.
With our current strength...
we can't win.
But...!
That's why he... Hadlar, the Dark Commander...
must be brought down here.
And Dai, Popp...
I ask that someday you two defeat Vearn, the Dark King!
I underestimated you. Well done, Avan, the Hero.
Wait...
Master, do you intend to die?!
Master, I'll fight with you!
Kaclang!
W-What's this?!
It's Kaclang!
Kaclang?!
It's a high-level defensive spell
that turns the body to steel and repels any magical attack!
But if we're like this...
We can't move!
You should all be safe now.
You may watch my final battle from there.
By "final," you mean...!
Don't do this! I'll fight! Together with you!
How foolish, Avan. To spend your remaining Magic Power on your students.
Oh! Those are...!
Insignias of Avan! Certificates of graduation!
Graduation?!
I give these to students I believe are fully trained.
Dai, you possess outstanding potential.
I regret our training was cut short at three days.
If we continued for the remaining four...
I'm certain you could have become a Hero.
Master Avan!
That is why I give this to you.
Continue with your training and become a true Hero.
Master, I...!
Popp.
Don't!
Don't do it, Master! I don't want that!
Stop being so morbid! Our training isn't over yet!
Popp...
I don't care if you were the Hero once! Why are you doing all this?!
You said yourself you can't beat him!
It's because I can't beat him that I must risk my life.
Besides, Popp,
I believe the power we gain through training should be used to help others.
Perhaps my power was granted to me by the gods to protect you on this day.
Don't do this, Master!
Someday I know you will understand.
So, hold onto this for when that day comes.
Master!
Oh my. You haven't officially graduated and you're already so emotional.
You'll need to work much, much harder to become Heroes worthy of those.
Mr. Brass and Gomechan, thank you for everything.
Sir Avan, don't do anything rash!
Don't worry. I will not lose.
Done saying goodbye to your students?
Let us fight, Hadlar!
Very well.
But having used your last Magic Power to cast Kaclang has sealed your fate.
You've spent most of your Magic Power, too!
Here goes!
Fool!
As we stand...
even with just combat skills...
I have more than enough...
power to...
tear you...
apart!
Master!
Move! Move!
Die, Avan!
You...!
A spell?! Impossible!
You should be out of Magic Power!
This spell requires very little Magic Power.
Instead, it turns life energy into explosive power to defeat enemies!
Wait! This spell is...!
Stop! Don't do it!
You'll die! It'll kill you too, Avan!
Do you want that?!
Popp, Dai! I leave the rest to you!
Stop!
Megante!
Master!
Sir Avan used the spell Megante.
Megante?
He used the final destructive spell that uses his own life to save his allies.
Sir Avan, you truly are...
Master used his own life to protect us.
Master...
SIZZLE HEAT-TYPE SPELL
KABOOM EXPLOSION-TYPE SPELL
Is that Master?!
Hadlar?!
No! Where's Master?!
You truly have grown weak, Avan!
You used your own life to cast Megante, and you still couldn't defeat me!
Now there is nothing left to fear! The Dark Army is unopposed!
He truly is a monster!
No way...
Curse you, Avan.
I need to wipe out your students here and now.
Don't worry! The effects of Sir Avan's Kaclang still remain!
It will repel any attack!
Don't be so sure.
Having you immobile is perfect.
Huh?!
He can use Frizz, too?!
My Frizz is pure hellfire. It will burn until my target is destroyed.
I simply cast it, and the moment your Kaclang wears off, you'll turn to ashes!
Don't! Please don't!
You should be happy. When you die, you can go to the afterlife.
Your precious master is there, waiting for you.
That's right! Master did it for us!
He gave his life so we could survive!
If we die here, then what did he sacrifice himself for?!
I have my life because Master gave it to me!
What?! Is he going to break the Kaclang on his own?!
What is he?!
He broke the Kaclang!
You brat! Burn to death!
Kafrizz!
Kacrack!
Dai used magic?!
And it's stronger than mine!
My flames...
Then I'll just pummel you to death!
Die!
What is this power?!
Impossible! Th-That crest...!
A Dragon?!
What is that light?!
I remember! Dai used powerful magic in battle before!
That mark appeared on his forehead then!
A Dragon Crest?! Is this boy a Dragon Knight?!
Impossible!
How dare you...
How dare you kill Master!
You'll pay for that!
Don't get cocky, boy!
Yes!
This is impossible! I may have sustained damage from Megante...
And he may be a student of Avan...
But how could I be overpowered by a mere child?!
Die!
Die! Die!
Eat this!
Boom!
Dai!
How's that? I used the last of my Magic Power on that spell.
Surely he's dead now.
Dai! Don't tell me he killed you, too!
That's right! There's no way I can lose!
Impossible!
I won't lose! Not to you!
Die!
Dai! Above you!
Feel how powerful Master's attack is...
for yourself!
What?!
Avan...
Strash!
Curse you, boy! I'll remember this humiliation and your name!
I swear I will kill you! Dai!
Dai, are you okay?!
Grampa, Gomechan.
Where's Hadlar?!
Unfortunately, it seems he escaped. I saw him use a Chimaera Wing.
Oh...
Master...
Master!
The magic circle of light remains even after Sir Avan has gone.
He still protects us even now.
I told you Master is amazing.
Popp...
Dai, what will you do now?
Huh?
Will you continue your magic training under me?
Or...
I...
Master gave me a mission. To one day defeat Vearn, the Dark King.
That's why... I...
SOVEREIGN ROCK CASTLE
I see you took quite the beating, Hadlar.
Forgive me, my Dark King, for making you see me in this condition.
It matters not.
You have buried Avan, the Hero. Consider them wounds of honor.
My Lord.
I have placed all of my trust in you.
With your rival Avan dead, no one can stop my Dark Army.
Go forth and fulfill your dream of overthrowing the world.
Yes, Sire!
It's true that Avan is dead.
But that boy Dai is a far greater threat.
Wounded as I was, to overpower me, Hadlar, the Dark Commander...
And that mark on his forehead. The Dragon Crest.
If he really is a Dragon Knight...
And, with Avan's training, if he manages to reach power of a Hero...
he will become far more powerful than Avan!
The wounds I received from him are proof of that.
The wound from Dai heals slower than the wound from Avan.
In that instant, Dai's blade surpassed that of his master!
If I let him live, he is sure to grow into a terrifying enemy.
I must crush him! While he still remains a fledgling!
With my grand Dark Army!
Kindness is the magic of kind people

With new determination in their hearts, Dai and Popp leave Dermline Island.
Their first stop is the Dark Forest of Romos Kingdom.
Dai and Popp meet the girl Maam.
The terrifying footsteps of monsters approach.
Can Dai and his friends safely make it through the forest?
Next time on DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai,
"Crocodine, the Beast King"
The adventure continues!
