The Grand Tutor makes his appearance. He reveals the true nature of the entire incident—a great examination, a game and contest. Each side submitted their own answers, and what they now face is the ice-cold corner of an even greater scheme.

Listening to a storyteller's tale, Lava and her cohorts find themselves in a strange town. All manner of strange happenings lead them to understand they may be in a difficult situation.

Listening to a storyteller's tale, Lava and her cohorts find themselves in a strange town. All manner of strange happenings lead them to understand they may be in a difficult situation.

The town storyteller, a Mr. Umbrella-Boiler, is rather hospitable, and Lava comes to know many stories about this 'P'o-shan Village.' And yet, she is unable to connect them to the Yan she knows. At the same time, a wandering monk from Higashi strikes up a conversation.

Lava, Kroos, and Mr. Nothing decide to split up to look for clues that might lead to a breakthrough. Unbeknownst to them, the monsters known as 'Ink Spirits' make another attack.

Saga, the wandering monk, displays her incredible prowess, including the ability to comprehend the Ink Spirits. Confused as she is, Lava goes with Saga to clear the field, arriving at a calm pawn shop.

Mr. Nothing helps a little girl escape and manages to meet up with Kroos. Saga, Dawn, and Lava take a moment of respite in the pawn shop. Dawn seems to know something.

Saga shares a thrilling story with Lava while shopkeeper Dawn offers what may very well be clues to the young operator. Kroos and Mr. Nothing also rejoin the others, but before they can relax, the sky begins to change.

Somehow, the cycle of day and night returns to normal, and the Ink Spirits no longer fear the sunlight. They take to massacring the villagers while Mr. Nothing shows unexpectedly proficient martial arts in trying to protect the innocent, but still, he fails.

When they awaken, the group finds the world completely back to normal, as if the disastrous events of the previous day never happened. Lava and her cohorts go directly to Dawn the Shopkeeper, who over the course of a conversation explains the 'rules' of this place.

After repelling the Ink Spirits once more, the group slowly comes to accept the situation as it is. Mr. Nothing opens up and explains why he has been hiding his martial arts. Faced with the reality of the unreal world, our operators are at a loss.

Day after day guarding the village gradually wears on Lava, Mr. Nothing, and Kroos. But Dawn reveals some useful information: the Ink Spirits also fear firecrackers.

As if waking from a dream, Saga finally looks upon the true face of 'Dusk' at the end of her decade of travel through the scroll.

Emerging from the illusion of their collective dream, the group comes face to face with the sudden appearance of Nian, and bears witness to her conflict with Dusk.

The sisters duel across countless paintings until finally Saga appears to interrupt the sisterly conflict. With Lava and her cohorts' intervention, Dusk seems at least temporarily convinced by Nian.

Lava and Kroos, having been sent to Yan by Nian, save an unlucky Messenger, Mr. Nothing. They take him up on his offer to serve as a guide, and he leads them to Mount Hui-ch'i.

P'o-shan Village is in mourning after the destructive attack. And as much as Lava and her friends help to rebuild, the tragedy is obvious to all. At the same time, the eccentric storyteller visits Dawn, but Dawn turns the tables on him and tells him a story of her own.

Arriving at Rhodes Island, Dusk recalls a memory of the past. What concerns her the most now is the identity of one 'Kal'tsit' and one 'Doctor'.

The transport truck will soon make its last trip. Warmy works with Alanna to prepare their truck to be returned. However, still attached to the truck, she is hoping to delay its return. Almost as if in answer to her prayers, a strange passenger hijacks the truck and demands to be taken to the Grinning Valley.

Alanna contends with the truckjacker and cajoles her into bringing the truck to a checkpoint to call for help, but security officers want to board the truck to check for Infected. She pleads in vain in to protect Warmy, and ends up charging through the checkpoint gates with the truckjacker's help.

The ragtag band of accomplices stops at a nomadic platform for supplies en route to the Grinning Valley. The skittish and terrified Jerry is worried that a certain someone might catch up to him after he skipped out on his engagement, and is equally scared that the security officers from the checkpoint are out to get him. During the wild chase, he happens to find himself hiding with a woman, and the two develop feelings for each other.

Warmy's Originium Arts suddenly go out of control in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately, they happen to run into Amiya, the Doctor, and Savage after their trip down memory lane. When the incident subsides, the Rhodes Island group decides to tag along on the journey to the Grinning Valley in search of a 'Feranmut.' Ray, afraid of Warmy losing control again, finally opens her heart.

As a pitsinker, Ray works year-round in extremely oppressive environments. When her working sandbeast passes away, she sets off in a daze, seeking out the Feranmut. Once she breaks free of her dark memories, she spots a habitat with a population of lively wild sandbeasts, who bring her to a deep, secluded cave.

The road to the Grinning Valley is blocked by Originium formations, and the gang has no choice but to return empty-handed. Ray voluntarily joins Rhodes Island and tells the story of her encounter with the Feranmut when she was a child. However, Amiya glimpses the memory of somebody else from that story.

Cecelia's halo flickers and dims before apprentice executor Ezell's eyes—but how could a Sankta so young be fallen?

A Liberi, by the name of Patia, shows up to wrest Cecelia away, but considers herself a protector. She says, 'If you truly care about Cecelia, then don't give her up to the Notarial Hall or the Lateran Curia.'

Though the doubt surrounding Cecelia grows and grows, Ezell still makes a pledge to her: I promised to help you find your mother, and I will.

The mixed-blood offspring of Sankta and other races do not become Sankta. Cecelia is a Sankta that was not meant to become one.

On the streets of Laterano, Cecelia says to a disguised Sarkaz vendor: 'Your horns look just like Papà's... Are you also a Sarkaz?'

'Even if this gets me expelled from the Notarial Hall, I have to try. I must bring Cecelia to the Ecclesia Requietum. And at least let her say goodbye.'

Cecelia hums an old Sarkaz nursery rhyme upstairs, scattering the melody of her song far and wide. The friar, known as the 'Guide' to his people, asks Ezell a question: Why are the Sankta the only ones allowed happiness?

The Sankta can feel each other's emotions, and Fiammetta was the only Liberi in her four man squad. Can Mostima and Lemuen understand Fiammetta's anger?

The thing that guides us ahead is not the ritual itself, but we ourselves after we go through the whole experience. 'Only you can find the right way forward for yourself, and it is only with your own two legs that you can walk that path.'

'Life in Laterano is precious.' Does Ezell, your typical Lateran, have to choose a path he never once considered? And how did the decisively atypical Andoain choose his path?

Cecelia takes the first step on the path she decides for herself. Who can say how far she will go? Regardless, she has already found her first ally and friend.

At the top of the tower, Cecelia sings an ancient Sarkaz folk song. Suddenly, bells begin to ring. The old man whom the masses call the 'Pope' asks thus: Is this good or bad?

Be it fantasies or ideals, if we never chased the things we once believed in, would we have made it to where we are today? Perhaps we were once naive, but one need not regret naivety.

When a Sankta asks the Lateran Pope: why does the Church refuse to offer others salvation? The answer he receives is that of silence. Perhaps that is a better answer than the real one.

'Lemuen forgave you. Mostima forgave you. Yvangelista XI forgave you. Even if all of Laterano forgives you... I will not.'

It is not divine revelation that brings enlightenment to the devout, but the obsessions of man. Salvation does not come from trading faith for blessings, but from earning the right to save oneself, through commitment to one's beliefs.

As the Legati and envoys of all nations congregate in Laterano, Cecelia, a resident of the outskirts, loses her mother. Her mother's final words: 'Leave Laterano.'

The setting sun illuminates the halo on his head like a crown. She recalls her mother's words, including the word that she did not fully understand - 'martyr'.

Rangers and several other Rhodes Island operators run into an incident during a field mission. Having lost their means of transportation for the return trip, the four operators begin a trek through the deserts of Sargon.

The Rhodes Island Field Personnel are attacked by a strange mutated creature, when suddenly they receive a distress signal from a hidden Rhodes Island Safe House. The members of the squad decide to investigate.

Half a year has already passed since the members of Team Rainbow were unexpectedly transported to Terra. After recovering from their initial surprise, they gradually adjust to life in the new land.

Infected creatures and strange mercenaries attack the Infected community of Long Spring. Team Rainbow leaps into the fray to help them avert disaster, but the situation takes an unexpected turn for the worse.

Team Rainbow and the manager of the Rhodes Island Safe House reach a cooperative agreement to shelter the displaced Infected, but the mercenaries and invaders give pursuit.

The Rhodes Island squad reaches the safe house in Long Spring, which is currently under attack by mercenaries and mutated creatures. The Rhodes Island squad fights alongside Team Rainbow to repel the attackers.

The Rhodes Island operators reach a cooperative agreement with Team Rainbow. Both sides agree to act conservatively, focusing on defense of the safehouse while avoiding the broader political turmoil brewing outside.

When a supply and food shortage hits the safe house, the Rhodes Island operators propose to search through the ravaged Infected homes to recover anything that might have avoided confiscation. However, in the process, they are stopped by the guards of the Lord of Long Spring.

The Lord of Long Spring is tyrannical and difficult to communicate with. She orders the expulsion of the Rhodes Island Operators as well as Team Rainbow, and takes the Infected away.

The eldest son of the Lord of Long Spring plots to usurp power by ordering the mercenaries and mutants to strike down the Lord. The Lord's guards are wiped out during the attack, and Rhodes Island joins with Team Rainbow to beat back the rebels.

Team Rainbow is determined to resolve the crisis in Long Spring, once and for all. After deploying their tactics, they split their forces in two, and Operator Ash leads her team into the mines to eliminate the source of the problem.

The onslaught of mutants challenges the operators defending the Lord's Manor. Operator Tachanka resolves to defend the others so that they may find shelter, standing alone against the swarm.

When Ash arrives at the Long Spring mines as planned, everything slowly becomes clear. Levi, the mad scientist, has also arrived in this world, and is teaming up with the Lord's son to further his crazed machinations.

After a fierce battle, Levi and his creation are buried beneath Long Spring. Meanwhile, the operators responsible for defending the Lord's Manor receive unexpected reinforcements.

Team Rainbow makes a deep incursion into an abandoned laboratory in the Ural Mountains, preparing to capture the mad scientist, Levi Klitschko. What they find defies all expectations.

The son of the Lord of Long Spring's rebellion is quashed, but an Infected pays the ultimate price.Team Rainbow gathers around his grave to honor his memory, but the battle is not yet over — Long Spring is still in chaos.

The crisis in Long Spring is successfully resolved, after which Team Rainbow officially sign on with Rhodes Island. After a short stay, they leave Rhodes for the wastelands, searching for a way back to their world.

Within the Soul Furnace of Kazdel, a ceremony meant to placate the revenants instead incites their anger. The airship fires its cannons at the Furnace, and fireworks light up the night sky. Nymph, doing her best to look after a furnace node, picks up a talking firework fragment, and in doing so takes on a special task.

Nymph visits 'the Consultant' Pohl's district in search of the revenant pieces. The gangs are fighting over a meteor and are on the verge of pulling blades. With Pohl's help, Nymph recovers the revenant fragment inside the meteor, and Pohl takes the opportunity to resolve a crisis.

A monster has been attacking passersby near some abandoned shacks. Nymph and Pohl investigate the hauntings and discover that it is a colossus made by Mudrock. Mudrock removes the Arts binding the colossus, and Nymph retrieves the revenant fragment that caused it to go berserk.

In a Sarkaz marketplace, the unconventional Crownie catches Nymph's eye. She has fashioned a revenant fragment into a gemstone brooch to go with her suit. Nymph follows her out of the city, and runs into Mostima on a delivery. After improving the design of another suit, Crownie finds she no longer needs the brooch, and gives it to Nymph.

Nymph and Pohl split up to investigate the last residential district. Along the way, Nymph visits Qalaiša, the Northwind Witch, who has recently moved in. While Qalaiša is away, Nymph becomes trapped in a strange dream of the witch's past. In her efforts to retrieve the revenant fragment, she accidentally destroys Qalaiša's hut.

Having returned to Kazdel, the Tin Man finds himself mistaken by Nymph and Pohl for being in possession of a revenant fragment. With Ermengarde's help, the gang enters the deepest depths of the Soul Furnace and returns all the fragments, then attempts a different kind of ceremony of appeasement. However, the Tin Man and the other revenants have other plans.

Even in death, a Sea Terror still tries to observe the land. Everyone who witnesses it realizes that Gran Faro has fallen into a terrible crisis.

Kal'tsit finally rendezvouses with Elysium, and meets the members of AUS. At the same time, the death of the Sea Terror has mobilized its deformed kin, causing the entire town to descend into terror.

The cultists scatter before the Abyssal Hunters. A mysterious Hunter by the name of Ulpianus kidnaps Amaia, while Elysium finds a clue in the files left by the cultists.

The townsfolk attempt to hand Jordi over to the Inquisition to save themselves. Thiago helps Jordi escape. Meanwhile, the appearance of the Nethersea Brand has put Carmen, Kal'tsit and the Hunters on alert.

Jordi searches for the entrance to the lighthouse under the protection of Irene. The Last Knight obstinately believes that this lighthouse is a disguise for the terrible waves.

The Eye of Iberia is rekindled, and the conspiracy in Gran Faro seems to be drawing to a close. The ocean is always touching this land, pushing everything into the abyss.

The remaining Church of the Deep cultists reach an agreement with Thiago. Kal'tsit and Carmen are delayed, and there is no time to wait at the Eye of Iberia. The Hunters and Irene decide to go ahead and locate the great ship.

The lonely journey finally reaches a turning point. As the golden ship appears in front of the Hunters, a mysterious enemy lying dormant in the ship also responds.

The ragtag group defeats the newly-spawned Seaborn, but Amaia and Ulpianus have their own plans. The mysterious legacy of the legendary shipwright is within arm's reach, but Gladiia senses kin that have separated from the many.

Thiago is killed by a burnt cultist. Before his death, Thiago fails to learn the truth behind his former lover and the downfall of his town. Aboard the Stultifera Navis, the Seaborn's evolution cannot be stopped, but Irene finally raises her handcannon.

Carmen and Kal'tsit, who arrive at the Eye of Iberia, see the hero who has fallen in battle. The Seaborn, having received an offering, spreads the Silence once more with its song. The fight seems to be slipping into the abyss of failure, and the decisive battle is imminent.

The Stultifera sinks in the heat of battle, and a brand new expedition is crushed by the ocean. The extraordinarily ordinary Jordi manages to save the most lives of all, but no one comes to the rescue of Iberia and Ægir.

Gran Faro, seaside town—a rare sight these days. Rhodes Islanders, Iberians, and even Alive Until Sunset all gather here. A storm is brewing.

Thiago attempts to convince Jordi to leave, and tells him about the truth of Gran Faro. The dark sea leaves no way out.

The Hunters encounter AUS and realize that the town is under attack. Elysium is attacked by Ulpianus while protecting the town, and Specter runs into Amaia, believed to have been kidnapped.

In this town of special significance, the Inquisition and Abyssal Hunters must negotiate face-to-face and reach a conclusion. They search once again for the Eye of Iberia, with time at their heels.

Remaining in town, Carmen and Kal'tsit attempt to dispose of the wicked cultists before the Penal Battalion arrives, improvising a frontline position. The voyage for the lighthouse's waters is far from plain sailing, and the Hunters have no option but to confront the Sea Terror menace head on—as well as a mysterious guest.

In the middle of the battle with the mysterious Seaborn, the true master of the ship appears. The decades have not robbed him of his human mind, but he refuses to acknowledge reality, and views the past with anger.

On the Stultifera, the Hunters are unable to reach an agreement with Alfonso, just as it is impossible for the cultists and townspeople of Gran Faro to reconcile with the Inquisition. Conflicts deeply-rooted, with a dire need for resolution.

Hatred drives Thiago to take vengeance on the Inquisition. Hatred blinds Gladiia to the opportunity in front of her, and she parts ways with Ulpianus. However, beneath their hatred is a burning desire to protect one's home, and duty.

Thiago is the protector of his homeland, and he finally bares his fangs at the cultists who would destroy his home. The High Inquisitor fights to the bitter end, and the chaotic hunt aboard the Stultifera has only just begun.

Just as the hunt is about to draw to an end, Amaia intervenes and stops Specter. The Seaborn successfully returns to the ocean and awaits evolution, and Kal'tsit and Carmen, who just embarked on their journey, do not know whether they'll make it in time.

While reminiscing with Specter, Amaia catches on to Ulpianus's actions. She must make a sacrifice before the Hunters and the ship's captain can finish off the Seaborn.

As everything draws to an end, a useful truth is plucked from the wreckages of frustration. The truth is a building material, from which war will be constructed.

In the present day, Sesa and Heavyrain meet a mysterious guest while on assignment in Sargon, and the whole affair is not without ties to a struggle in the Ibut region over twenty years ago.

22 years ago, a Columbian company has secretly sent a prototype sample to Sargon, thus drawing powers from all sides in. Kal'tsit protects the sole survivor, Elliot, and they set out on a journey together.

In a nameless Ursus village, a mysterious doctor performs emergency surgery on an acute Oripathy sufferer. It is then her past finds her—the relative of a Sarcophagus incident victim, Lillia, wants Kal'tsit to assist with her revenge.

Kal'tsit and Lillia have infiltrated the Pine Valley Retreat for some time now. While searching for an opportunity to get close to the Grand Duke, Kal'tsit seems to notice something a little unusual.

Thirteen years ago, in the County of Toron, Victoria, Count Vincent is in front of his manor welcoming his guests to a dinner party. The young Heidi wants to slip in unnoticed, but is caught red-handed by the Count.

At the dinner party, the nobles chatter cheerfully. Heidi, unable to join in the conversation, takes every opportunity to talk with Kal'tsit, and creates a chance to be alone with her—in fact, this young child has a special assignment.

In modern-day Sargon, Sesa and Heavyrain are cautiously waiting for the mysterious 'Sand Soldier,' who suddenly asked to join Rhodes Island, to reveal his true identity, and it seems Kal'tsit has much to do with his past.

22 years ago, before he became the 'Sand Soldier,' Elliot is on the run with Kal'tsit, attempting to make their way to the Reefsteep black markets and escape Sargon. They need someone to lead them to the black markets, and, by chance, a helping hand appears before Kal'tsit.

Kal'tsit finds her hiding spot ambushed by a team of Sarkaz mercenaries. A disastrous battle is unavoidable.

Having arrived at the black market, Kal'tsit has begun preparing for her journey with Old Isin's assistance. On the other hand, Elliot is hesitating. He must cut loose his past, and he chooses to remain in Sargon.

The snowstorm at the Victorian manor grows stronger by the moment. Heidi and her father have devoted themselves to maintaining Victoria's peace. During her conversation with Kal'tsit, the snow suddenly turns black as the will of Ursus approaches.
