Isidro: Serpico is fighting against Guts without his magical hood...
Puck: I want to add him under my instruction.
Isidro: He seems to try to hold back Guts' sword with the pillars...
Excellent...ha! Is this his maneuver?
Serpico: Your sword is so powerful that it can't even be categorized as a sword. It can split even a rock into two.
But as long as you hold a sword, such a great power can only be fully displayed when the tip of the sword reaches full speed.
Therefore, no matter how much you try, you can't get the right speed here because the movement of your sword is hindered by the pillars.**

Serpico: Moreover, his wounds still haven't healed....

Page 7

Serpico: ...However, he still has enough power to cut several stone pillars with iron cores.
I can't just dodge it forever.
But my slender sword can't pierce his armor.
The places I can aim at are limited.
Oh, he tries to stab me in the right place as I expected. This is my only chance!

Page 8

Serpico: To dodge it...
Here!

Page 9

Serpico: He changed his hand...!
He's reading my moves!

Schierke: Why in hell are they...

Page 11

Serpico: He's incredibly strong yet also reckless.
...I'm far from being passionate.

Page 12

Serpico: I've accomplished the duties that were given to me, adapting to the surroundings. This is my way.
My mind could stay calm at least though I thought it was a bit absurd.

Page 13

Serpico: Adaptation... No. It's just that my mind had been paralyzed.
But meeting you and joining the journey,
Madam Farnese isn't the only one that has been changed, I've also changed much myself.
He has fought face to face with his fate and has lived such a life burning his body in the Karma Fire unlike me, cold. (??)
Disguising the wind I didn't know of, maybe I also have been supplied to the heat unconsciously.

Page 14

Serpico: You're the man who I can't help but appreciate.
I've felt helpless with the fact that Madam Farnese has been changed beause of you but I've also been happy with that.

Page 15

Serpico: That's why I shouldn't allow it.
It shouldn't happen....!!

Page 16

Schierke: Serpico...!
Isidro: Be careful! Serpico...!
There's no pillar...!
Schierke: Now, you can't hide and attack anymore...
Serpico: This is the last chance...!

Page 18

Serpico: ...This is
What I've been waiting for!!
