Valkyrie no Densetsu/Stage 7

Once Valkyrie and Kurino Sandra reappear on a static iceberg, two miniaturized versions of the Twin Girasu will come floating towards you, while curling their left heads up into fist-like balls and spitting lightning bolts from their right heads at you; once you have fired enough shots from your sword or trident at both of them to kill them, they will both leave one small coin (worth five in gold) behind. Once you have collected them both, you will have to jump onto another static iceberg, before proceeding to jump onto a third static iceberg - and once you have done so, a third miniaturized version of the Twin Girasu will come floating towards you, while curling its left head up into a fist-like ball (and spitting lightning bolts from its right head at you). Once you have fired enough shots from your sword or trident at it, to kill it, it will leave a small coin behind; once you collect it, you will have to jump onto a fourth horizontally-moving iceberg, before proceeding to jump onto a fifth static iceberg. Once you have done so, four Blue Kaoxes will home in on you while gnashing their teeth rapidly - and once you have fired enough shots from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them, they will each leave four small coins behind. Once you have collected them all, you will have to jump onto a sixth static iceberg before jumping onto a seventh static iceberg; once you have done so, you will have to jump back onto an eighth static iceberg, before jumping onto a ninth horizontally-moving iceberg. Once you have done so, you will have to jump onto a tenth horizontally-moving iceberg before proceeding to jump onto an eleventh static iceberg with the elderly sorcerer Babasama standing on it, after he had not appeared upon the previous stage - and the song that you had been hearing from the Yamaha YM-2151 will fade out at this point.

Once you've pushed your Firing Button to speak to Babasama he will speak the Hiragana text of Yoku koko ga wakatta naka n shinkan shin hōbi ni sora tobujutsu wo sazukeyō tadashi i kai shika tsukaenu zo taisetsu ni na! (よくここがわかったなかんしんかんしんほうびにそらとぶじゅつをさずけようただしいっかいしかつかえぬぞたいせつにな!) to Valkyrie and Sandra before proceeding to grant them the Flyingsky spell and four more circles on their magic meters (as with the Big and Hurricane spells, this spell is worth two full circles); you will then have to jump up onto a twelfth horizontally-moving iceberg, before proceeding to jump up to a thirteenth static iceberg. Once you have done so, you will have to jump onto a fourteenth static iceberg, before proceeding to jump up onto a fifteenth horizontally-moving iceberg - and once you have done this, two more miniaturized versions of the Twin Girasu will come floating towards you while curling their left heads up into fist-like balls and spitting lightning bolts from their right heads at you. Once you have fired enough shots from your sword or trident at both of them, to kill them, they will both leave a small coin behind; once you have collected them both, you will have to jump onto a sixteenth static iceberg before proceeding to jump onto a seventeenth horizontally-moving iceberg. Once you have done so, you will have to jump onto an eighteenth static iceberg and start walking forward by pushing your joystick into the "northern" position until you come to Sphinmoth (who can be described as the "boss" for this stage) - and once Sphinmoth has seen Valkyrie and Sandra, he will ask them the following multiple-choice question (and as with the question of the Nazonazo Phantom, you must push the joystick into the "north-western" position to select answer A, the "northern" position to select answer B and the "north-eastern" position to select answer C, then press the Firing Button to confirm your answer, but only the first two will work):

ここをとうりたければ わしとしょうぶだ! (Koko wo tōritakereba washi to shōbuda!) A: たいりょくのしれん (Ta iryokunoshiren) B: ちりょくのしれん (Chiryokunoshiren) C: なにもしたくない (Nani mo shitakunai)

If you selected answer A, Sphinmoth will speak the Hiragana text A da nata iryokunoshirenjahidarinohoranānihairugayoi. (Aだな たいりょくのしれんじゃ ひだりの ほらなあに はいるがよい) to Valkyrie and Sandra, before lifting his left leg up and revealing a staircase to one secret room in which you will have to fight two Purple Goblins, two Red Kaoxes, and two red versions of the Talos, before proceeding to that eighth stage; however, if you selected answer B, Sphinmoth will speak the Hiragana text of B da na chiryokunoshirenjamiginohoranānihairugayoi. (Bだな ちりょくのしれんじゃ みぎの ほらなあに はいるがよい) to Valkyrie and Sandra, before lifting his right leg up and revealing another staircase to a second secret room, in which the screen will fade out like it did at the end of the six previous stages, and you will have to solve a "15-puzzle" of one of this game's previous cutscenes (with its respective Hiragana and Katakana text) before proceeding to the eighth stage. But, if you selected answer C, Sphinmoth will speak the Hiragana and Katakana text C ''dato!! Nanto iu oroka mono ja!! O ma ero yōna koshi nukede ha Kamūzu ni haka ten!! De naoshite koi!!'' (Cだと!! なんという おろかものじゃ!! おまえろような こしぬけでは カムーズには かてん! でなおしてこい!) to Valkyrie and Sandra before proceeding to send them back to the beginning of the stage and forcing them to replay it again; therefore, selecting answer C is not recommended. Once the screen fades out you will receive a 20000-point bonus and 1400 in gold, along with the restoration of a full life-heart (or, if you still have 4.5 life-hearts, half of one) on your energy meter if you were unlucky enough to get hit, and if this brings your energy back up to more than 0.5 or 1.5 life-hearts, it is reflected by your character's face at the bottom of the screen improving.

ふたりは　ちきゅうの　ないぶに (Futari ha chikyūnonaibuni) すいこまれて　いきました. (Suikoma rete ikimashita.)

しかし　すでに　ちきゅうは (Shikashi sudeni chi kyū ha) くさりかけて　いました! (Kusari kakete imashita!)

きたの　いずみは (Kita no izumi ha) あくのけしん　カムーズに (Aku no keshi n Kamūzu ni)

しはいされていたのです! (Shi haisa rete ita nodesu!)

Once the screen has faded back in, two glowing rainbow-coloured curtains which have appeared on where Sphinmoth was standing will slide open and Valkyrie and Sandra will proceed to jump off the edge of that aforementioned eighteenth static iceberg that they were standing on and descend several thousand feet to the eighth stage, Chikyū Naibu, below; this is the final stage of the game, and are you tough enough to make it all the way to the end?
