Pg132 1. Lilith: Hmmmph, I knew it, that guy's hopeless. There's no way he can learn to use the Ankokumatoujutsu... 3. Lilith: Block thiiiis!! Lilith: It's essential for the Ankokumatoujutsu that your power doesn't run out... Souma: It's impoooossible! 4. Souma: There's no way! Lilith: Cliiiimb!! 5. Lilith: He has neither stamine or willpower, and falls asleep faint right away... Pg133 1. Lilith: Normally, I don't think I'd teach a human the Ankokumatoujutsu, but... Even though I thaught him since he's a human who holds the soul of Shiva-niichan's close friend Sword... 3. Lilith: Well, human... I've had enough now. 5. Lilith: If you don't stop complaining already, it will be painful! 7. Souma: No waay, heeelp!! 8. Souma: Tha... that was... a... dream...? Pg134 1. Souma: But... where am I sleeping? 2. Souma: Ah... Yes... I fainted... Lilith-chan must've let me sleep... Souma: She might be a Devil, but she's nice sometimes... Hahaha... 3. Souma: *siiiiiigh* 4. Souma: I knew it was hopeless... I'm... not like Sword-san... 5. Sword: Souma, you and I are one!! 6. Souma: I must learn the Ankokumatoujutsu or Sword-san will die from the curse as well... 7. Souma: But... There's no way... I, a mere human, could learn to use such an art... Pg135 1. Souma: Uh... Uuh... What's... this!? 2. Souma: Incredible... Innumerable books... These are all demonic books...!? 3. Souma: These must all be books I could never obtain in the Human World... 4. Souma: Ah... but, when I think about it, they're in the demonic alphabet or something that I can't read... haha... 5. Souma: hmmm, the long-going war between Devils and Angels... Uh? 6. Souma: No way... I can read it...? How!?! Pg136 1. Souma: Right, Sword-san's soul is inside me... That's it!! 3. Souma: Allriiiight, I can read all these!! Souma: My occult-maniac soul is coming on fire again for the first time in a long time!! 4. Souma: allll-right, I'll read them all from start to end. 5. Souma: Hm!! 7. Souma: ...? What is it... This... Pg137 1. Souma: Huh...!? Thi, this... 3. Souma: A... book...!? But... why, at a place like that... 4. Souma: The title is... Hm... Jill Herb...? 5. Souma: Jill Herb...? The book of Jill Herb, master of the Ankokumatoujutsu...!? Pg138 2. Lilith: ...? What's that sound... 4. Lilith: Noooo waaaaaaay, what... Why, Lilith's hooome!? 6. Lilith: Waaaait, you... What the hell are you doing!! 6. Souma: Wh, what are you saying, I just pulled the chain in the archives... Lilith: Huh? Pg139 1. Lilith: 2. Souma: Thi, this was there... 3. Lilith: Thi... this, Grampa Herb's...!? 4. Souma: It was written in that book... 5. Souma: There's one more technique invented by old master Jill Herb... That of calling the Uraankokumatoujutsu!! 6. Souma: And that's... Pg140 1. Souma: When one has climbed this Devil's Tower, one can obtain it!! Pg141 1. Lilith: You... 2. Lilith: Changing Lilith's home to that sort of bad taste... Who do you think you are!! Souma: O... Ow... Lilith: What's more... Do you know what sort of technique the Uraankokumatoujutsu is? 4. Lilith: Usually, the weapons used by devils are made out of human souls that held strong emotions... But, as the Ankokumatoujutsu uses a Devil's own soul, it's a very dangerous art!! 5. Souma: But... Then there's no need for physical power. That means I... 6. Lilith: You don't understand. You make your own soul change... Do you think that only takes mental power? 7. Lilith: The very foundation of the Ankokumatoujutsu is impossible for you! 8. Souma: ... I can do it... Pg142 1. Souma: As... Sword-san's soul, that has so strong power, is inside me! 2. Souma: Surely... He'd lend me that power...!! 3. Lilith: <...!! What, this guy.... He's the same one that went "eek, eek" during practice!!> 4. Souma: Uh... Uhm, Lilith-chan...? Lilith: Err. 5. Lilith: I, I understand! That's great, I like that!! 6. Lilith: But, I just wanna say one thing! Pg143 1. Lilith: To master the Uraankokumatoujutsu, Jill Herb spent all his mental power and died!! 2. Souma: Huh? 4. Souma: Um... If I think about it a bit more closely, maybe I shouldn't do it... 5. Lilith: Hurry up and go before you're determination is gone!! Pg144 1. Souma: ...uwaah... What... this room, is this... the Devil's Tower...? 2. Voice: Hohohoh... Welcome... Young lad... 3. Souma: Who!? Pg145 1. Voice: I've been waiting... I was sealed until someone who could pull that chain... My name is Jill Herb. Are you the one seeking the other technique, the Urankokumatoujutsu!?! {Uraankokumatoujutsu = Reverse/Opposite Ankokumatoujutsu} Pg146 1. Souma: But Jill Herb is dead... A... Are you saying you're a ghost!? 2. Jill: No, no, no... Since a wizard sealed my temporary soul, I've been waiting for a successor to this art... 3. Souma: Um... Maybe so, but... Maybe some other day... Jill: That's not possible. 4. Souma: Su... Such... 5. Jill: If you want to leave this Devil's Tower, you can only open taht door and proceed to the next floor... 6. Jill: This is the key... 7. Souma: Uh. Jill: But... This one is MY key!! Pg147 1. Souma: Mine... Well, where's my key theeeeeeen? Jill: You'll have to search for your key yourself!! 3. Souma: Whaat? Wait... Just a moment... 4. Jill: Well then... I'll be waiting on the next floor. Souma: Such... that's meaaan! 5. Jill: However, you don't have time to dally! 6. Jill: You can't leave the room until the iron lattice behind you has opened... Pg148 2. Jill: You might die, ho ho ho... Souma: Don't go "hohoho"! You must be kidding! Me, against something like that!!
