clammers at top the boss's skull thrusting his sword and delivering a killing blow this kill leveled up no name five times and caused a quest window to pop up promising a level one swordsmanship for swinging his sword 10,000 times he reasons that not having to eat or sleep he can complete that Quest easily and decides to use the now vacant dungeon as his training ground outside the dungeon a portly night approaches accompanied by two beautiful women one redheaded and another blonde noname continues to swing his sword managing to raise his count considerably when an alert

window pops up and informs him of the presence of intruders the portly Knight boasts of his power to his female companions with the red head playing dumb as he shows her a bag full of expensive healing potions she is clearly playing the Knight while the blonde woman Muses on the situation concluding that the Knight has valuables and the redhead is just trying to get closer because of it the blonde whose name is Reena plans to use the distraction of the monsters to kill and Rob the Knight but as she leads him on the redhead points

out that being an adventure Reena should take point and do reconnaissance much to her annoyance the Knight attempts to break the argument while inwardly lamenting that the dungeon only has weak skeletons and hoping to face a more resilient boss in order to show his cool side and Get Lucky with both women both of these women then point out they should have encountered skeletons by now which the Knight brushes off while inwardly wondering the same thing until they stumble on the deceased boss and Soldier skeletons the Knight is shocked at finding it dead and just as

a frustrated Reena is about to stab him in the back they are surprised by no name advancing in full armor the Knight confronts him and scoffs at the redhead's suggestion that it might be a monster while Reena wonders if it's a skeleton no name then bids them to leave as he has taken over the dungeon prompting the Knight to agree while sensing that his opponent has a higher level than himself as the Knight tells the women they should leave Reena lashes out at noname for seizing the dungeon and for his manners in not removing his

helmet telling him to surrender his loot or else face the night the lad boted with Reena tells noname to reveal his face and a smirking Reena Muses to herself on taking his stuff too before all three are frozen in shock at finding out he's a skeleton no name tells them to leave and while the redhe head realizes that he might not be an average skeleton the Knight dismisses this and desite no name's advice not to prepares to fight trying to show off he attempts to strike no name with his blessed Morning Star but the latter

having warned them to leave slices his hands off before he can deliver the blow Reena is enthralled as the knight groans in pain the redhead attempts to flee before Reena kills her In Cold Blood with a throwing blade noname believing he was the intended recipient prepares to fight Reena before the ladder asks to be spared she introduces herself as a member of the T and te Guild a Thieves Guild carrying out assassinations that thefts and information gathering and she offers her services to noname she states that the redhead was her intended target since it would

be Troublesome for noname if she got away and she saved him the trouble of dealing with that woman noname who was not planning on killing the redhead asks Reena the reason for killing her colleague to which she replies that she believes he cannot be killed through trickery and that she was her Target noname then tells Reena to leave and refuses her offer of services until he recalls that she also deals in information he asks her about the nekron Society Reena glowing at the chance states that she knows about them and will share the information on

one condition causing no name to draw his sword Reena however retorts that he would find it hard to find out what she knows without being from The Guild and the guild would not sell it to a skeleton implying that killing her would prevent him from getting the information he needs as noname sheaths his sword Reena States her condition is that he make her his ally causing a quest window to pop up detailing the scenario it presents the perks and warnings of trying to appoint Reena as branch manager of the T andt Guild no name thinks

on how he still doesn't understand the meaning of these windows or assimilation percentage but he still needs information Reena keeps trying to persuade noname suggesting she might help with his training before he lifts her by the neck pointing out how easily she killed a fellow human and that he doesn't wish to be backstabbed himself she then screams that she's more like him and released states that humans are only interested in her body not who she is inside and they don't think of her as a human just as they see no name as is a Monster

who needs to be slain implying that they're in the same boat Reena then explains that the nekron society is a massive Shadow Syndicate involved in drugs contract killing human trafficking and other lucrative illegal activities it is also backed by several Lords and Powerful individuals in the Empire though no one knows where their headquarters are or who leads them any further information is reserved to high-ranking Guild members Reena then proposes to bring her targets to no names dungeon so he can earn sufficient experience in exchange she will rise in the guild and be able to deliver

information no name desires hesitant no name asks her again if she won't hesitate in helping him kill humans she confirms stating that she hates them he then agrees to the deal an alert window informs that three Intruders have appeared in the dungeon noname easily dispatches one of them and Reena assassinates the second before the third kicks her to the ground before the third Intruder can deliver the killing blow no name saves her after the encounter no name's dungeon Affinity Rises to 19% and is swordsmanship reaches level four after months of doing this his rate of

leveling has slowed down as he considers moving to a new dungeon a delighted Arena shows him the loot they gathered from all the people they lured noting his uneasiness at her eagerness to kill humans she points out that since the people she gets contracts for are criminals she gets little money from this while the criminals avoid getting punished for their many crimes through bribery and they all deserve to die no name notes the books the criminals carried picking up a volume titled the unsightly Mig he starts reading that that Mages must possess an innate ability

to cast magic and though they enjoy great privilege they have no responsibility he wonders if the writer has a grudge against Maes and upon reading his name Kevin Ashton out loud a blue window pops up informing him that his wisdom has risen by one point much to his surprise he then rummages through the other books noting that a second book written by the same author also raised his wisdom when he read it meanwhile Reena had been getting ever closer making him uncomfortable having observed him she offers to find more books for him in the Village

but no name asks her about the closest dungeons instead as she recalls there's one E-class one d-class and two C-Class dungeons within a week's travel on foot noname thinks that since the current dungeon is an f-class an E-class dungeon would be a good Next Step he then notices that Reena has fallen asleep on his lap and as he's about to resume his swordsmanship training he suddenly feels tired and falls asleep himself a blue window then pops up having spent 182 nights in the dungeon his dungeon Affinity is 20% he is is succumbing to his human

nature and the dungeon is trying to devour him as noname opens his eyes he sees his deceased mistress succubus who asks him if he had a good dream apologizing for waking him up a shocked noname jumps to his feet and realizes that he has no armor being embraced by succubus she points out he must have had a nightmare asking what story she should tell a relieved noname reassures himself and thinks that they will live in the dungeon happily for a long time as he is dragged by the hallucination deeper into the caves Reno wakes up

finding herself alone wondering where no name went meanwhile he is deep in his hallucination lying on succubus's lap while she reads to him and starting to believe that everything prior had been a dream relieved that his mistress is alive noting his unease she closes the book and asks if the story is boring then tells him to continue talking about his dream and what kind of person Reena was outside the dungeon Reena stretches and realizes no name isn't out there and suddenly she notices troops nearby and an officer rallying them they are there to subject at

the dungeon since despite supposedly being a light training area over the previous months countless adventurers and civilians have disappeared after heading there and this is the Blue Lion Templars subjugation Reena realizes the danger in the dungeon succubus comments on reena's lively attitude to noname and then she asks if he's just going to let her die just as he left her this startles noname just as an alert window informs him an intruder has appeared recalling succubus's death he's determined to prevent the knights from killing in her again Reena approaches him warning of the impending danger but

an entranced noname Rises and draws his sword believing he is protecting succubus a worried Reena Dodges his attacks and tries to reason with him while also thinking he has been acting strange as a scout fires a bolt at her feet and alerts his fellow soldiers calling noname a monster and her a rumored witch Reena notes that noname is not in the right mind and begs him to come to his senses as crossbow bolts R around her lost in his hallucination no name tells suak of the impending attack and vows to protect her causing her to

doubt it as ruia appears before him asking why he left her to die no name falls back in disbelief as ruia reminds him of his Broken Vow succubus then tells him he failed at protecting them because he was weak and both rebuke him for his failure as he sinks deeper into despair outside a soldier approaches the Blue Lion Templar and informs him that the Scouts have located their targets as no name sinks deeper and deeper he wishes he were stronger in the dungeon Marina takes cover from the bolts and noticing no name State decides to

act using a smoke bomb as cover she grabs no name with a rope and makes a run for it planning to lure them deeper into the dungeon in order to escape she is stopped as a blade grazes her shoulder soldiers barring her path their leader arrests her on suspicion of murdering multiple adventurers and Promises to put her on trial he also accuses her of necromancy as well as he notices the entranced and speechless noname rise and orders his men to take the monster out first meanwhile no name senses fade as he sinks deeper and deeper

concluding that that must be the afterlife and glad that he met succubus and ruia one last time however upon remembering that he should have been resurrected if he was dead he realizes this is an illusion and that he must wake up he must get stronger to protect succubus 20 years in the future he is a skeleton Warrior who protects his mistress who will protect everyone no name wakes up to reena's Bloody Face she stood between him and the soldiers and received three arrows to her back a startled noname picks her up as she jokes about

hearing his thanks if they survive the commander berates his soldiers since their orders were to capture Reena alive and noticing no name carrying her tells her to give up just as she grimly lights a fuse the commander watches in horror as the lit fuse Burns towards a stockpile of Munitions that Reena describes as her going away present the exploding stockpile is revealed to be poison smoke and Reena asks no name to carry her on his back as they escape any soldiers that get in his path are Swift swiftly cut down and he asks Reena why

she remained despite that number of soldiers she replies that she is his ally causing no name to inwardly lament being caught in the illusion as they leave the dungeon no name is relieved at not seeing any other soldiers he is about to break the shafts of the arrows on reena's back before seeking more treatment elsewhere before he hears the Blue Lion Templar stating that reports of Reena being a high-ranking necromancer were exaggerated before swiftly striking no name down with his sword noname Falls his arm severed by the Blue Lion templar's blow the Templar looks at

his foe with contempt and asks a surprised Lord the reason for wasting his time to capture a weakling like Reena the Lord explains his belief that she was a powerful Necromancer only to be paralyzed by the templar's death stair he attempts to end his life as payment for his sin before the Templar orders him to stop having somewhere else to be he starts to depart leaving Reena for the Lord to punish at his own discretion after her trial suddenly he turns to face a risen noname who wonders who the Templar might be noticing how he

didn't sense him or see him swing his sword and realizing he's on an entirely different level from all the opponents he has faced so far no name wonders if he can win but seeing the wounded Reena decides that it doesn't matter since he will fight regardless of who he's facing the Templar Dodges his attack and as the Lord insults noname for his insolence and orders the recently emerged soldiers to help a rumble is felt an alert window pops up informing a puzzled noname that the higher level Blue Lion Templar has used an advanced skill restricting

his Mobility as well as that of those in the area with everyone immobilized the Templar approaches Reena wondering how no name can move while she lost her Consciousness and noting she doesn't look like a high-ranking necromancer but if he were right killing her would be beneficial as he draws his sword to strike noname forces himself to move and attempts to attack him though the Templar Dodges the strike and breaks his sword noting that the reports weren't completely wrong he strikes the final blow to the kneeling nose no name killing him for the fifth time as

Darkness descends noname thinks about Reena and his failure to protect her comforted only by the thought of going back to the grave in the forest and to see ruia again however he awakes in the dungeon deeply perplexed at the situation as he recognizes his surroundings and sees Reena sleeping on his lap the status window informs The Inheritance is complete and now he has the skill of a level 70 No Name and All His stats is heading to the designated Waypoint and his dungeon Affinity has dropped to 9249 examining his surroundings he notes that while he

is alive he hasn't returned to ruia wondering if he will ever see her again a memorial window informs him he has died five times and earned a bonus upgrading him to necromancer's lover which gives him plus 20 likeability with necromancers with whom he has close ties and an additional 10 with the Necromancer with whom he has a working relationship as he wonders if Reena had been acknowledged as a necromancer he remembers her taking arrows for him and decides he should repay her but before that they should escape the dungeon no name wakes Reena up and

tells her that they must leave now knowing that he must exit the dungeon before his Affinity increases to the point where he hallucinates and subjugation forces arrive he decides to go to the next dungeon planning to head to the Arid underground Cemetery but Reena points out that they should head for the ruins of spider's Vault instead since the cemetery is completely Barren as if all the monsters there suddenly vaporized remembering the subjugation forces he asks Reena about the blue lion Templars she informs him that they are the first or second ranked knage in the service

of the Empire they are led by the Marquee vaan Von Leandro who wields the blade seraphim and is one of the top four Swordsmen unmatched in the whole empire noname immediately recognizes him as the warrior who killed him and wonders what brought him to that remote corner of the realm without his Knights Reena then States they must head to a nearby town to gather supplies before heading to the next dungeon and because she wants to bathe as well no name realizing he hadn't considered her needs agrees at dawn they approach the biggest town in the

region which happens to be ubam remembering ruia's fate no name decides to accompany Reena into town and she puts a cloak on him before they head for the gate they managed to get into the town by bribing the guard and pretending to be a married couple much to No Name surprise and as they enter Reena notices a strong scent of opium despite there being no den nearby they both realize that the mood is strange and the town's people are wary of them and as Reena playfully leads him in search of lodgings a dark figure watches

them from an alley noname and Reena are welcomed into the inn by a beautiful barid as Reena asks for food and lodging no name notices she lacks the neck tattoo of the previous owner the new inkeeper mistakes his stare for something else much to reena's annoyance and no name's confusion the next day with Reena well rested the pair head for the General Store while noname notes that no one tried to sneak on them sensing they are being shadowed the shopkeeper refuses to sell firebombs antidotes or Molotov cocktail materials to Reena being out of stock and

unwilling to trade with them much to the girl's annoyance no name still wary of being followed drags a furious Reena out of the store and the pair managed to sneak on the man shadowing them recognizing him as the town's blacksmith the man bids them to follow him stating that it is dangerous to keep wasting time in the town at the Smithy the three start talking the blacksmith deduces that the pair was headed to the ruins of spider's Vault from the supplies Reena needed and explains that she wouldn't find them in town since the Lord of

yam and his guards are raising spiders for unknown reasons and the town is dying as he recounts after the previous Lord died under mysterious circumstances the new Lord replaced the guards with brutes and the town became addicted to Opium selling their property cheaply to the Lord in order to buy more drugs those who disobeyed or questioned the Lord including the blacksmith's wife were fed to the spiders he then tells no name to get revenge in his place recognizing the armor he is wearing as one of his Works having been purchased by ruia for someone dear

to her he proceeds to tell an enraged noname that lonely tourists become targets and that he did nothing because he was a coward and being old couldn't save ruia himself informing no that the captain of the guards should be taking the criminals to the cavern now he gives them a vial of grass meir's flame a flame from the sea that never goes out so he can burn down the guards and spiders chained prisoners are led to the ruins of spider Vault while being trailed by Reena and noname as they approach the dungeon's entrance Reena asks

who should carry a flamethrower like weapon in a flashback it is revealed that the blacksmith is from Grassmere the town of black Smiths and grass's Flame is very rare with him only being able to make a single vial this must be used with that weapon and once started the fire will never go out being kept in the bottle only through magic and having the same power as a blast furnace the Smith gave them the weapon as well as flame resistant powder stating that he'd rather have them use it to get rid of the guards than

to use it himself for his craft with Reena holding the flamethrower they head inside the caverns with no name noticing how quiet and mazike the dungeon is Reena interrupts his thoughts to ask him about ruia and what she meant to him with no name cutting her short stating that she meant nothing and the armor was needed for their Mutual benefit but he failed to keep his promise to protect her as noname wonders which path to take a nervous Reena hands him a pendant stating that it is a precious item to her and she is lending

it to him before he can refuse noname notices something sticky dripping onto his helmet and turns to face an incoming giant spider Reena sounds the alarm before being caught by a web and hoisted upwards while the spider strikes at no name he un sheaths his blade and cuts off the creature's leg but is ambushed from behind by a second spider that pins him to the ground as he tries to hold it at Bay as Reena cries for help non manages to regain his sword and dispatch The Spider and stands up to face an incoming wall

of creatures Reena recognizes the gravity of the situation as she dangles upside down and the spiders approach her meanwhile no name keeps hacking at the spiders in the ground parrying and dodging their attacks as they keep coming until several spiders shoot their web at him rendering him immobile a spider approaches and is about to finish him off before suddenly bursting into flames a surprised noname turns to see a deranged Arena holding the flamethrower and apologizing for her tardiness before proceeding to torch the spiders she torches a spider that attempts to Ambush her and compliments her

weapon noticing that the spiders are retreating further inside the dungeon after she frees noname the two follow the spiders torching any that dare cross their path and as a blue window pops up no name notes that combat experience yields a fast rate of leveling Reena teases no name before collapsing with the latter realizing upon inspection that she's been bit and needs an antidote at the heart of the dungeon a group of soldiers try to drive the Spider Queen boss back with their torches and no name assumes that they must have antidotes wondering why would they

attempt to raise Monsters the captain of the guards sporting a snake tattoo on his neck warns the queen to behave else they burn her eggs to a crisp recalling ruia no name clenches his fist in Anger as he sees the captain of the guards the a newbie Soldier asks another why they bring the criminals there before being told to shut up he is then held at sword Point by noname who presents a startled Captain with the choice to hand over the antidote in exchange for a painless death and sparing his men the captain laughs at

this and wonders if noname is a drugie for doing this prompting the latter to explain that he is here to avenge ruia unmoved the captain smirks and remarks that he doesn't even remember her among his countless victims causing noname to release his hostage and lunge at him before being hit by a bottle of spider egg yolk this causes the Spider Queen to impale noname through the chest seeing him as an intruder who stole her egg the captain then comments that it is believed the queen was a chimera created and abandoned by Maes and that she

protects her eggs with a maternal Bond snickering the captain turns to depart just before the queen erupts in Flames as he turns back he is confronted by a helmetless noname wielding the flamethrower and pouring heat resistant powder on his head before unleashing the flames on his men while promising him him in agonizing death spiders are torched by no as they approach him while the soldiers eggs and everything flammable Burns as no name approaches him a burning Captain begs in vain for his life before being burnt to a crisp noname continues to burn everything in Rage

unaware of Reena and the fact that he is starting to melt until he collapses and dies his assimilation rate dropping to 90.4% as Darkness descends no name resurrects in the dungeon next to Reena as the blue window confirms that the inheritance is complete and analyzes how he died as Reena wakes up he tells her they are headed to yam knowing what will happen no name repeats the same events as before in the town with Reena arguing with the shopkeeper them confronting and following the surprised blacksmith to his Forge and receiving the vial of Gras meir's

Flame the flamethrower and heat resistant powder noname then throws the bag of powder at the blacksmith's face and threatens to test it on him by torching him with the flamethrower much to the ladder's horror he then points out that the powder only prevents him from feeling the heat but if he used it his armor would melt before he noticed and asks the blacksmith why he would want them dead as well the blacksmith then says that he knows he is not human due to how he moves in the armor and thus he would prefer that he

die after burning the guards this enrages Reena but no name sees no point in killing the blacksmith and starts to leave stating that he would have killed the guards anyway before he stops to notice a new sturdy two-handed sword though the blacksmith protests at his taking it no name St states that it is the price for attempting to kill them and leaves now armed with The Sword and the flamethrower noname and reeno reached the ruins of spider's Vault the girl points out that they should use the flamethrower carefully and merily starts to enter the dungeon

before noname remembering how she died because of him and unwilling to put her in danger knocks her unconscious and enters the dungeon alone promising to return soon noname burns his way into the dungeon handling the power of grass M's flame with care before being confronted by a perplexed captain and his guards upon one of his men's suggestion the captain tries to fool noname claiming that they will escort him to safety while preparing to throw him a vial of egg yolk a second time he fails however and noname shatters the vial with his sword as a

surprised Captain asks him who he is the skeleton then states that he promised him an agonizing death upon which he orders his men to attack noname then burns them all as the captain escapes noting he cannot use the flame for long else he melts again the captain then strikes him from behind breaking the flame thrower pointing out that the Spider Queen is furious at no name for breaking her eggs before picking the last one using it as a hostage he orders the queen to attack and though no name blocks the attack he is flung across

the cavern he wonders what to do as he blocks the incoming attacks finally stumbling on a rock and falling to the ground he then notices the broken flamethrower and darts towards it as the queen strikes and shatters his helmet the captain rejoices at this before noticing that the Queen's leg is now on fire and turning to face no name brandishing his now flaming sword and repeating his promise of the agonizing death the Spider Queen Roars as no name slices her limbs before finally striking her down in one Fell Swoop with his flaming sword as the

skeleton stands over the spider's corpse the captain shocked by this outcome tries to strike him down from behind noname chops his sword hand off the blade cauterizing the wound and once again promises a slow agonizing death frantic the captain orders his men and the spiders to deal with him before realizing they're all dead fleeing his shirt catches fire from touching a puddle of grass mir's flame distracted by his futile attempts to stop the fire from spreading and fleeing noname the captain stumbles backwards and falls off a ledge to his death no name comments on this

stupid way to die and thinking it's all over and considering the sword too dangerous to carry throws it over the ledge as well as he turns around however he is confronted by a badly wounded but still standing Spider Queen now disarmed and with his back against the cliff the skeleton stands still as the queen carefully picks up any Embraces her last remaining egg just before dying and dropping a red Jewel a blue window pops up informing that no name has defeated the web Slinger as a reward for completing the dungeon he has boosted his Soldier

points considerably as well as initiated the borderline Adventure Quest and earned a speed boosting skill and a ruby no name emerges from the cave with a bag of Loot and is confronted by an angry Reena she angrily yells at him for knocking her out and going in alone but her face changes drastically when he presents her the bag full of gold and she promises to become stronger to avoid becoming a hindrance and telling him not to leave her behind again she then leads him to her Guild's branch office sometime later they arrive at an orphanage

and Reena is greeted by the children including her sister and introduces noname as the Knight who helped her out the Headmaster of the orphanage then greets her and they head inside the young well-dressed man and Reena get reacquainted and the latter introduces No Name the Headmaster then introduces himself as lime and after noticing how taciturn he is suggests that no name Tak his armor off the skeleton refuses and is then shocked as lime reassures him that he is fine with what's underneath the armor but the conversation is cut short when a child's screams are heard

outside and lime states that there are unwelcome guests in the premises offering to continue later in the courtyard two armed men and a woman are trying to take a child by force accusing her of running away lime intercedes and offers to talk things out once they release her the men explain that they run the orphanage at the nearby Village and the child ran away after being sent to a court who backs The Establishment and took a liking to her in order to be his adopted daughter lime then points out that she ran away due to

mistreatment but before the men can react the woman halts them she tells lime that if he acts like they didn't see them then they could just be on their way but the Headmaster refuses the woman then offers an agreement to profit from the children demanding he give them the children they want she is cut short by lime who states he doesn't run the orphanage so pigs like them can use children as puppets upon which the woman orders the men to attack though no name is concerned Reena assures him that everything is all right and that

the men are the ones in need of assistance the woman grins as the man cut lime down but is shocked to see that he is made of slime and has engulfed her henchmen lamenting how humans become ugly and stupid when they age lime consumes the terrified woman next while a shocked noname and a smug Reena look from afar lime then apologizes and introduces himself properly as slime the manager of the TNT guilds Eastern brand office standing amidst the clothes and weapons of the Dead Intruders slime introduces himself to noname as a type of changling a

fellow non-human trying to live in the human world no name is surprised at seeing one of the rare intelligent slimes before him and asks him how he will deal with the consequences of what he did while he conforts the child The Intruders wanted to grab he states that cleaning up that mess poses no problem much to the skeleton's uneasiness and reena's satisfaction back inside slime explains that he runs an orphanage because slimes have no gender nor parent child relationships and he finds it interesting that humans look vastly different when they grow up he states that

though slimes can adopt any form they are merely shells since they are shapeless creatures and offers to take the form of a skeleton which no name politely declines after the latter asks how he knew he was a skeleton slime is revealed to be an excellent appraiser due to being a slime giving him great leeway within the Guild in appreciation for helping Reena he offers to appraise anything Noam to desires and the latter gives him the Ruby as slime appraises the jewel no name reasons that reeno was not distrusting of him due to having grown up

with slime in the orphanage once the appraisal is complete a blue window pops up stating the use of the Ruby as an ingredient for a class change and its perks and slime points out that it is quite valuable and suitable after absorbing blood and vital force of humans for a long time suddenly another blue window pops up informing noname that his assimilation rate has dropped to 88.6% causing him to shake noticeably and causing slime to worry no name brushes it off and praises the slime's skill and prompted by the latter asks if there's a spare

sword he can take instead in gratitude for keeping Reena safe slime offers to get one from the blacksmith and repair no name's armor while also providing him a room to rest for the night which he accepts gratefully that night noname stares at the Ruby thinking about a class change when Reena enters his room and asks if he's stargazing no name asks if she shouldn't be spending more time with her sister and sleeping together to which she replies that she doesn't wish to make her want to stay longer and that one day would come when they

could live together she then approaches no name and gives him her precious golden pendant explaining that it was around her neck when she was abandoned at the orphanage sweetly she says that she's giving it to him for the day when he completes his quest and she becomes branch manager asking him to live with her they stare at each other in Silence the next day noname examines his repaired armor with slime and admires his new sword before Reena enters the room and averts her gaze later slime asks the skeleton about their next destination and upon the

latter's uncertainty he proposes that no name join the T andt Guild as he explains reena's rank of trainee limits the quality and quantity of information she can acquire in the guild but if no name were to join he would receive all the benefits granted to official members under slime's recommendation though slime believes he would be a great member no name declines the offer since being tied down to a group is not his style much to slime's disappointment no name then states that he will continue to get any information he needs from Reena going forward causing

her to blush he then asks slime what would be needed for Reena to become an official member and once the ladder explains she can either take requests by The Guild or donate gold he proceeds to offer him the bag of gold obtained from the spider's vault as slime states that it will be enough a blue status window pops up updating his progress in the scenario reena's story and informing no name that his assimilation rate has decreased to 88.5 6% % the skeleton wonders what this means while slime reads the guild bylaws toena but no name

stops them as the branch manager mentions the obligation to inform on any grave threat to the Peace of Amber Amber is a maritime Port as well as the city of Engineers and no name recalls that soon the city will be the starting point of the 9 Years War which will be initiated by the Crown Prince Alton Clemens II between the Empire and the freedom Alliance while neutral the city's anaros syndicalist nature will end up annoying the crown and it's efforts to expand the empire being situated between it and the freedom Alliance it will become the

Empire's first Target noname then asks slime why Amber is mentioned in the procedure for promotion and as the latter informs him that it is the location of the Guild's headquarters the skeleton wonders if he should tell him what he knows he chose to skirt around the subject asking if Amber's position as the biggest obstacle for the empire in a supposed war with the freedom Alliance would count as a grave threat although slime agrees he states that a proper response has has been prepared should the Empire take any action and refuses to elaborate any further as

slime congratulates Reena for her promotion no name asks as to the requirements for her to become branch manager much to slime's amusement and he insists on prioritizing reena's promotion since it would be useful to him slime Ponders on this and informs him of difficult requests that must be dealt with and though Reena could not take them on by herself they would speed up her next promotion if she were to succeed as Reno looks with unease and asks slime if he will accept the quest a blue option window pops up asking him either to accept or

decline a host stands amidst a packed Arena and energetically announces to the aist tournament to the Roaring crowds he then introduces the first contestant the dismantler Jacob Isaac from the brass ring free company as he introduces his opponent firsttime participant sere jagon from a household in Jan no name steps into the arena the host then bids the contestants to get ready and begin the fight the dismantler lunges forward Ward and jumps into the air aiming to deliver a mighty blow to no name's head with his great hammer some days before this slime explains to noname

that a household from Jana has requested the guild for a mercenary to enter the tournament while bearing their Crest in their stad having earned their Title by accumulating wealth through their leather business and commerce they were too preoccupied with their trade to train a KN and instead wished to hire a mercenary to avoid the pressure to participate in the tournament from the event sponsor this sponsor is the Lord of arist from the ray family and younger brother of the deceased Lord no name will be paid every time he wins until the eighth round since they

don't want to attract any attention and they're hiring a mercenary no name accepts the request and as he and Reena hitch a ride in the back of a wagon the skeleton concludes that the Lord of arist must be ruia's uncle responsible for her brother and niece's death and wonders if he should kill him without looking at him Reena once again asks no name about his relation to ruia and what kind of person she was to which he replies that there was nothing between them and he wouldn't even know know how to begin to answer that

last question stating that she was probably attractive Reena then asks if no name would have given ruia a different answer to the question she posed in the orphanage the skeleton bluntly answers that he would have answered the same since there is something he must do being acknowledged by a disappointed Reena the conversation is cut short as they're approaching arist a crowd forms a line to pass the city Gates while the pair approaches a stand to enlist no name in the tournament as a knight for the house of Jan when the enlister ask for a name

no name pauses in thought and as Reena attempts to cover for him in front of the suspicious man the skeleton presents himself as Sur jagon while no name tells Reena that Sur jagon is a madeup name he inwardly recalls that he took it from The disruptor Sur and the Savage Ox jagon two of the 16 demon Lords that will descend upon mankind after the 9 years war and that there shouldn't be any problem with a borrowing the names no name never saw any of the demon Lords while in the demon Army being a low-ranking skeleton

living a nightmare while controlled by The Necromancer until he met mistress succubus Reena pulls him from his thoughts asking him his real name stating that before she didn't consider it important since she thought there were no more walking skeletons like him no name then states that he doesn't even know what his name is and Reena offers to come up with a name for him as she suggests names to the annoyed skeleton a man announces that the tournament will commence the next day and they will be fed and lodged in the castle being able to freely

move around the castle grounds between matches knowing this was Ruby's home noname asked the surprised man for directions to The Castle Library once in the library the librarian Praises no name's desire to learn as well as fight the skeleton asks if she has any books by Kevin Ashton but the librarian doesn't recognize the author and begins to look around no name notes the messy state of the place when a book lands by his feet looking up he sees an apparation of ruia reading at top some stairs which is cut short when the librarian brings him

to the novel crevice of time by Kevin Ashton the librarian then picks up the Fallen book lamenting the that the person who read it is no longer there causing no name to inquire about it visibly scared at having said too much the woman excuses herself and quickly departs leaving no name alone he then opens crevice of time and reads it quickly until Reena finds him having been assigned a room a blue window informs him that he has increased his wisdom by 10 and can now sense other skeletons having also earned a bonus of insight Reena

then states that they should go and once he looks at her another window pops up stating her name profession level stats and a like ability of 40 no name swings his sword until a blue window pops up with his stats noticing that his swordsmanship doesn't get higher than level five and wonders about his Insight bonus as Reena approaches him informing him that the tournament will begin soon fireworks Light Up the Sky as the aist Tournament begins the host asks for a round of applause as Lord Ray enters the arena while Reena and noname look from

afar as the first round of the preliminaries begin the pair discusses about whether the tournament's prize is worth the effort of the compe comp itors and Reena points out that the real prize is the prestige the Nobles gain from their Knight's success Knights also benefit since it is their best opportunity to increase Renown and raise their worth other than War this is especially so for oathless Knights who hope to get noticed by the noble houses and taken into to their employ no name is told to get ready for the next match and though Reena encourages

him the skeleton plans to avoid getting too much attention in the arena the host explains that the round will last until either contestant is incapacitated or steps out of the B battle stage while no name thinks about the difficulty of throwing his opponent off the stage Jac Isaac berates him for his apparent weakness wishing to know his true strength the skeleton uses his Insight skill to see his stats as the fight begins noname uses his Superior agility to dodge his opponent's attack and break his hammer much to the latter's shock and disbelief noname offers the

now disarmed jot to surrender but the warrior lunges at him enraged and attempts to punch him with no other choice the skeleton dodges the punch and swiftly knocks his opponent unconscious with the pommel of his sword causing everyone present to fall silent in shock prompted by No Name the judge proclaims him Victor and the crowd bursts into Applause much to the surprise of noname and to the Delight of Reena in Insight window shows the stats of level 17 fighter Colin heret as he thrusts at no name with a spear he Dodges the attack and knocks

his opponent down later the window displays the stats of a level 29 Warrior Jang Phillip who attempts to strike no name with his chains only for him to catch them with his sword and pull the warrior towards him and incapacitate him causing the crowd to cheer again later the skeleton praises the convenience of the Insight skill for allowing him to gauge his opponent's strength and act accordingly and wonders who Kevin Ashton might be he snaps out of his thoughts as he notices Reena holding off three men who wish to see him they introduce themselves as

representatives of a merchant group of feom and a noble family and ask that no name work for them as their guard each competing to offer him a better payment he refused refuses their offers regardless of his salary and after some thought states that he will not abandon the house of Jana much to reena's surprise as the men ask no name to reconsider a drunken swordsman yells at them to quiet down so he can sleep and stating he is a participant of the tney he asks the guards to take care of them and escort them away

Reena then tells a shocked noname that the drunk is his next opponent causing noname to wonder inwardly on how a drunkard got into the quarterfinals activating insight to check his stats he is shocked as the inside window is completely blank and is even more puzzled when he tries again and gets the same result in the arena the host introduces no name as sagon and his opponent as tbbl Reynolds noting his incredible speed tbbl asks the host for the restroom but is denied since the fight is about to begin while no name wonders why Insight doesn't

work on this man as the fight Begins the skeleton decides to forego insight and lunges at tbbl prepared to strike needing to pee tbbl laments the situation before swiftly dodging the attack and appearing behind noname promising to end the fight quickly and mentioning Imperial fencing first chapter before attacking the confused skeleton noname barely manages to block the attack and is complemented by tebl as The Swordsman unleashes another attack the skeleton then grimly realizes why Insight doesn't work on him tebl has a far higher level than himself the pair continue to duel as no name blocks

the incoming attacks much to tbt's Delight The Swordsman then parries the skeleton sword and lunges at the Gap in his armor noting his lack of combat experience but is surprised as no name closes the Gap in time and somersaults to a safer position tebble notes that it didn't feel as if his strike had succeeded no name thinks on how he was saved due to the blade passing through his ribs which would have been fatal for a human wondering who tble might be he asks him about the Imperial fencing to which The Swordsman replies that he

used to be an imperial knight he then proceeds to taunt noname stating that he isn't skilled enough to become an imperial knight himself and then presses his attack challenging no name to strike while blocking his attacks noname thinks tebt must be weaker than Ven and since he might have to face strong Imperial soldiers in the future he can't lose to a retired Knight as The Swordsman presses yet another attack the skeleton sees an opening te's technique is based on lunging which at one point exposes him to side attacks seizing the opportunity noname hacks at tbbl

from the side and manages to cut him in the arm before he Dodges the strike causing the crowd to gasp in awe wounded but alive The Swordsman stands to attention and decides to face his opponent as a proper imperial knight as Reno wonders who tbbl might be an oathless Knight informs her that he is an imperial knight due to his sord technique and is surprised that no name hadn't lost yet apologizing for fighting him drunk tble states that there's a special requirement to becoming an imperial knight other than battle instincts but he will only reveal

it to noname if he manages to defeat him he then blocks the skeleton's attack commenting he is better at blocking before driving his sword to the ground ground The Swordsman then launches an attack with a curved path that surprises no name and sends him flying backwards then promising to end the fight with a swift strike no name raises his sword but the curved attack pierces his neck and sends him falling to the ground as TBT approaches the host to claim victory he is startled to see a panting noname rising and resuming the fight causing him

to wonder if he's a monster the skeleton then states that he doesn't plan to become an imperial knight but he is after Marquee vaen and can't be defeated by an imperial sword art that easily before he faces him again tbal is furious at hearing that name and asks no name if he thinks vaan is so amazing before he attacks in Rage as he delivers blow after blow on no name's armor he States if ven didn't exist he wouldn't have failed to become an imperial knight and his father wouldn't have become so disappointed in him talt

then unleashes a second form attack which cracks no name's breastplate asking him what is so important about a title while noname thinks that at this rate he will lose the fight suddenly tbol drops his sword and forfeits the match with no name being proclaimed Victor tbolt gloomily tells the skeleton that the special requirement is blade skills and the lack thereof is what prevented him from becoming a knight before departing the arena without his sword that night the semi-finalists are given a banquet though neither noname nor the oathless Knight remove their helmets or touch the food

the skeleton checks the stats of the three remaining contenders noticing that tbolt was the strong in the whole tournament and that without blade skills his armor is useless Lord Ray sits at the head of the table surrounded by four bodyguards and congratulates the participants telling them to enjoy the evening noticing the snake tattoos on the guard's necks no name recognizes them as nekron Society members and the inside window reveals that they are of the same level or stronger than tebble Lord Ray Praises noname for his skill offering him the opportunity to serve under him and

be able to display his true worth much to the surprise of the other semi finalists he states that he believes that seats are filled by those deserving them and talentless people taking up space frustrates him despite wanting to kill the Lord right there for what he did to rubia and her father he refrains from doing so knowing that the guards would kill him annoyed by his silence Lord Ray gives no name time to consider his offer stating that he might regret not answering now since he has no interest in losers he then asks no name

if he wouldn't take off his helmet and despite being displeased at the refusal decides to overlook it given his skill nodding to the oathless Knight and referring to him as Creston the Hellraiser no name recognizes him as his next opponent and wonders about his name Lord Ray then expresses his excitement about their upcoming fight stating that he will see their faces regardless of who wins he then snaps his fingers and beckons six scantily clad women to enter the room and entertain his guests though the other two semi-finalists enjoy themselves Creston Rises violently and leaves the

room and no name follows suit outside the oathless Knight confronts the skel skon wondering why he left and stating that he never heard of an imperial knage in Jan he doesn't believe that the house of Jan hired knights in these peaceful times and thinks that no name bribed his way in as the skeleton points out that he knows quite a lot about Knights the Hellraiser asks if he is trying to be appointed as a knight in arist after inflating his worth annoyed noname asks Creston why he always wears a helmet causing him to draw his

sword and asking what he knows about him to which noname replies he knows nothing sheathing his sword the Hellraiser promises to crush no name's insolent attitude and helmet the next day Reena approaches a man making bets on the upcoming semi-finals betting a bag of gold on no name she's surprised to find the skeleton behind her and despite the ladder's initial reluctance she encourages him to win the fight as the announcer presents Sur jagon and cresten the Hellraiser to the crowd no name analyzes his strategy facing his opponent's sword while Creston warns him that if he

holds back in the fight he will die as the fight begins Creston darts into the deliv a decisive blow with his great sword non name Dodges the strike and lands a blow on the hell riser's armor planning to use his Superior agility to win before having to dodge a second strike Preston States his resilience and proceeds to strike the arena causing a cloud of dust to rise using this distraction he sneaks behind noname and delivers a blow with all of his might which the skeleton barely manages to deflect commending his opponent's ability to dodge the

oathless Knight states that his fall will be a matter of time knowing dodging won't work so name then decides to try something Reckless and lunges towards Creston he delivers two blows At Close Quarters in quick secession which shatter the knight's armor and sends his helmet flying the crowd and the skeleton stare in shock as the Knight is revealed to be a woman the crowd stands in shock and Lord Ray beckons his men as noname and Creston face each other in the arena enraged the female Warrior yells at the skeleton but one of Lord Ray's bodyguards

demands that she gives her real name to be recognized as a proper contestant once she States her name as Christina Brewer the soldier pointing out that women can't compete in the tournament dismisses her the woman then Demands a chance to fight and despite the soldier denying it Lord Ray allows it as long as her opponent has no objections with no name's consent the fight resumes Lord Ray Muses to himself on how amusing the fight will be if accompanied by a woman's screams and the crowd Roars an outrage at Christina's deception and also the money they'll

lose for betting on her exhausted she tells noname to stop holding back and asks if it's due to her being a woman recalling past trauma she desperately lunges at her opponent before tripping on the arena and falling to the ground causing the crowd to Roar in anger and throw rocks at her much to reena's disgust while on the ground Christina recalls the merciless training her father gave her wherein he threatened her to end their relation if she fails to make the family better and he raged at the fact that she was a woman much to

her suffering noting the crowd's mockery no name suggests that she hold back to avoid getting badly injured but before he can finish the sentence he is sent flying by a devastating strike much to everyone's surprise Christina is exhaling steam her eyes glow red as she stands on guard a blue window pops up informing noain that she has activated the berserk skill turning into a Berserker with far higher stats Christina screams in Rage as she delivers another powerful blow that shatters the arena which non manages to evade while wondering the reason for all this transformation seeing

her Berserker mode and the odds turning in her favor the crowd's mood changes as they begin to cheer for Christina as no name thinks about her new strength and speed the warrior darts at him and sends him flying across the arena much to the crowd's Rejoice Lord Ray's interest and reena's concern contemplating how the situation has changed despite her being a lower level than himself no name decides to act quickly he uses his Superior speed ability to knock her back and begin circling around her the Berserker counters this move by furiously swinging her sword in

a Wide Circle but it's in vain as the skeleton managed to jump clear and deliver a blow that slashes her back this is not enough however as Christina Roars and remains standing and while he wonders about what kind of monster she has become a blue window informs him that his speed ability has run out and must be recharged he then notices that the berserk ability drains her energy over time and seeing this as an opportunity he prepares to strike he stops dead in his tracks as he sees Christina in tears as she asks for a

chance to continue fighting which reminds him of his first death with Reena urging him to finish the fight the skeleton then approaches the Berserker Blade in hand a clash is heard as everyone stares in shock Christina stands visibly surprised as the host announces her victory over her opponent who is laying on the arena Reena approaches the fallen noname in distress and tries to wake him up tearing up at the thought of losing him she is startled as the skeleton Rises completely fine but with aching joints and flustered ushers him away while Christina stares from the

arena Ena in the forest no name suggests that he lost on purpose while Reena laments the money she lost betting on him before suddenly changing her mood and remarking that they completed their mission Christina then approaches asking for another fight thinking he let her win knowing that she didn't have the energy to overcome him the skeleton however insists that he was just Reckless and lost due to being hit by her sword and he urges her to go and win the tournament when asked whether they will meet again no name replies that he doesn't know before

warning her to avoid Eric if she wants to become a knight ironically he also advises her not to wear a helmet before departing with Reena back at the TNT orphanage slime gives the pair their commission for completing the request pointing out that the situation is uncomfortable since his performance at the tournament has caused many to seek to become Knights for the Jan family the branch manager then asks the skeleton about the name Sur jagon and takes notes when he states he thought it up on the spot no name then asks for the next request being

worried due to the events that transpired in arist and a blue window pops up asking him to confirm his choice no name and Reena focused on dungeons for the next 3 months avoiding the North Alpine region but traversing the mountains south of the Empire their Adventures included traversing the withering burn Maze of poisonous branches fighting the Centaur in the bloodstained equestrian quota and running away from Ghouls in the den of the Dead earning more Loot and upgrading no name's armor with slime as the skeleton Muses about the last dungeon Reena barges in asking him to

accompany her much to his confusion then explains that Reena needs a second letter of recommendation besides his own to become a branch manager and that she will get it in the Eastern Division if she passes a simple test but no name may not accompany her since the location of the guild Executives is a secret from Outsiders no name tells her to go stating he will clear a dungeon in the meantime Reno leaves Furious while the skeleton and branch manager talk about the goblin dungeon with the latter informing that the dungeon might be connected to the

nekron society a hooded man runs through a forest in the middle of the night he Dodges a salvo of crossbow bolts as his pursuers approach on Horseback exhausted he falls to his knees and rises again sprinting away and begging someone to wait for him to come to the rescue at the TNT Regional Branch slime informs noname that those entering the goblin dungeon bear a neck tattoo and that he has been finding necron Society monsters who have taken over dungeons the branch manager also informs the skeleton that the dungeon is also a mine containing blood Stones

these are rare stones used for magic and some will be included in the compensation he also remarks that the reward for this Quest will be much higher than before but the quest might be dangerous and it requires the normalization of the dungeon no name accepts the quest sometime later no name stands in the middle of a forest looking at a map realizing he's lost his thoughts are cut short by nearby howls and upon following them he comes across a white pup and snared in a bear trap he examines the wounded animal and frees him before

resuming his path but before he can go any further the dog stands on guard before him barking furiously not understanding the reason for this Behavior no name tries to shoe the pup away and passes by him suddenly the ground gives way beneath him and the skeleton falls down a pit he manages to stop his Fall by thrusting his sword into the cave wall just before he hit the metal Spike lined bottom examining the pit he sees an adult white wolf lying dead in the distance impaled by the spikes as the pup barks from above the

skeleton realizes that it must be his mother and the pup was trying to warn him of the danger despite having escaped death he realizes that he cannot Escape alone from the pit as the sun sets above no name remains in the pit with the white pup barking from above suddenly voices are heard from above as some Hunters attempt to catch the wolf pup analyzing his next move the skeleton thinks about saving the wolf but first decides to play dead a bald man notices him and calls his comrades to leave the wolf and approach the pit

thinking of the money they might earn selling no name's gear the bald man tells his associate that their hands are already dirty since he fell down the pit and that he must go down and retrieve the armor the ladder has qualms about the situation and fears no name might be alive and waiting to strike so the bald man proceeds to set fire to the pit no name decides to continue playing dead and wait for the fire to consume itself and as he wonders if he could survive it a blue window pops up it states that

his flame resistance skill has activated reducing heat damage while reducing his strength realizing he can endure this due to the skill acquired in the spider's Vault the skeleton lies still and waits for the fire to die out upon which the associate descends a ladder and pokes at no name still fearing he might be alive a blue window pops up indicating that the pseudo death skill has been created from above the pit the bald man angrily urges his associate to hurry up and get the armor and is musing on heading to the pub when two soldiers

approach from behind one of them reminds the terrified man that he had been warned of the consequences of hunting there again at the bottom of the pit the scared associate finally removes no name's helmet and as he opens his eyes he is deeply shocked at the sight of his skull screaming in a horror as the skeleton greets him and stands up he is suddenly knocked to the ground as the bald man is tossed from above and lands at top him no name climbs the ladder as the soldiers are distracted searching for valuable loot he then

notices a snake tattoo on one of the soldiers necks identifying them as members of the nekron society the soldiers are preparing to depart when no name greets them causing the startled men to turn around and confront him as they begin to realize he came from the pit the skeleton tells the shocked men to guide him to the Goblin's dungeon this causes them to draw their weapons and ask for his purpose in heading there no name answers that he was requested to do some things in the dungeon and reaches for his sword in preparation to fight

the men suddenly the lead Soldier noticing his cape asks if the skeleton is Daron Nim the new supervisor sent from the organization and he sheaths his blade in relief stating that he was expected no name decides to play along and says that yes he is the supervisor prompting the lead Soldier to Bow and tell his subordinates to do the same the soldier states that he had been informed that the supervisor would be wearing a red cape and apologizes for not recognizing him noname accepts the apology and tells them to lead him to the dungeon as

they head to the dungeon the lead Soldier explains the profitability of the m to noname until his subordinate let slip that the captain fools around with the goblins much to his distress deciding that he might find out more by playing this role the skeleton asks about any peculiarities about the work the soldiers reply that there's a strange man the size of a kid snooping around who has managed to evade capture he also remarks that the man seems to know things about the dungeon even they don't know and knows its layout perfectly the small man has

managed in the past to freeze some slaves before they stopped him and the soldiers suspect that there might be a spy they finally reach the dungeon and no name looks down upon the massive mining operation underway enslaved goblins carry out hard labor under the watchful eye of whip wielding overseers one of the Goblins collapses from exhaustion dropping his load of minerals and causing the enraged overseer to whip him mercilessly the overseer then orders some men to get rid of the badly beaten creature no name sees the enslaved goblins and recalls what his mistress told him

about them goblins are a cowardly species that excels at reading lands and discovering materials avoiding humans by hiding in the mountains the most advanced goblins would become the main pillars for the 16 demon Kings and no name heard that they despised humans with all their heart which seems unsurprising as he passes a pile of dead goblins he is pulled from his thoughts by the soldiers as they enter the dungeon and a blue window pops up describing it it tells him that it is a large scale dungeon with a base level of 10 to 20 that

would require 15 to 20 people to clear as no name thinks on the information the strange man Trails the group from a distance deeper into the dungeon the lead Soldier introduces no name as the new supervisor to his captain the captain greets the skeleton and informs him of the progress of the mining operation he also asks him to put in a good word for them to the higher ups and offers their services for the duration of his stay no name complement their work and inwardly analyzes the best course to fulfill the request to kill everyone

in the dungeon until the captain suggests that he take off his helmet fearing Discovery and realizing he must make something up quickly noname excuses himself stating that he can't remove the helmet due to a treatment for recent Burns and upon a request for identification he states that he left it at home the skeleton starts to believe that his luck is up until the captain laughs it off but then the captain Captain requests to see the snake tattoo that would prove his allegiance to the nekron society the captain then realizes he is not the superviser and

as no reaches for his blade he signals his men to aim their crossbows at the Intruder promising to torture him for further information no analyzes the situation and heavily outnumbered and bere of any other choice activates his speed skill and lunges into combat no name cuts through the soldiers as the Frantic Captain orders them to fire their crossbows the officers join at them hitting their target proves to be short-lived as the skeleton continues to cut through his men at a high speed unhindered and finally strikes him down a blue window pops up informing noname that

he has earned the reward of conqueror of the thorny maze which decreases the Damage Done by crossbow bolts by 40% as he heals the skeleton stares at the three remaining soldiers who fall to their knees begging for their lives after stating that he had no intention of killing them he prized an ID from the dead Captain's corpse and having procured ident ification tells the soldiers to guide him to where the Goblins are on the way the soldiers explain to the skeleton that there's a second group of 10 soldiers inside and as he notices the dead

goblins lying around they point out that it is the work of the second group soon enough they arrive to a tunnel where the second group of soldiers is shooting crossbow bolts at a restrained Goblin for fun noname identifies the creature as a Hob Goblin a species far more intelligent and stronger than ordinary goblins hobgoblins also possess healing abilities and are referred to as Royal Goblin Goblins the other goblins cry out at the ongoing torture prompting the group leader to silence them before noticing the approaching soldiers and no name when questioned as to their presence there

at the time no name steps forward and introduces himself as the supervisor as the group leader attempts to remove his helmet the skeleton grabs his forearm firmly and commands him not to touch him shocked the group leader tells no name to let him go asking what's wrong with him while the strange man continues to watch from a distance seeing the tied up hobgoblin this skeleton then twists the group Leader's arm and after some initial protests and upon seeing the three soldiers signals the officer pretends to apologize before pulling out a dagger and thrusting it through

the Armor's eyelit as no name falls to his knees the group leader tells the soldiers to explain the situation but before they get a chance to they are struck with fear as the skeleton pulls the dagger out of his helmet he proceeds to call the group leader despicable and stab him in the eye with the blade causing the soldiers to fire their crossbows retrieving the dagger the skeleton throws it at a soldier's face and slashes another with his sword upon which the four remaining soldiers flee in Terror no name then turns to the Hobgoblin wondering

whether he's still alive while cutting through the ropes before the strange man lassos him and pulls him up his leg with a pulley the small man then questions no name as to his purpose there and after some thought and argument the skeleton admits to having been requested to return the dungeon to its normal State not divulging who sent him and then states that they are not enemies upon this statement the strange man cuts him down and is revealed to be a small goblin the goblin then heads towards his tiedup kin and tells the skeleton to

go back since he will handle the problem as the Hob Goblin is untied a blue window pops up informing noname that his name is incases bum Tong the dungeon boss outside the dungeon two surviving soldiers run for their lives thinking that their attacker must not be human and wondering how to escape the fake supervisor a man with a red cape and a snake tattoo approaches on a horse and overhearing the conversation ation asks the terrified men for the meaning of their words inside the dungeon no name stares at the released hobgoblin and wonders how a

dungeon boss was so weak to be captured like that as he reaches for his Blade the dungeon boss runs away in fear while the small Goblin chases after him calling him daddy and telling him to stay still while he heals him the skeleton finds it strange that a hobgoblin was defeated by human soldiers but the goblin child explains that they are peaceful and the humans set traps to ens snare him and enslave his people no name insists and wonders aloud why the boss is ranked F minus much to the child's confusion and later states that

dungeons are measured in advance to determine their difficulty level and deter people from going the child retorts that even though they only hide in the dungeon that place is still their home and then tells no name to depart as no name is about to leave he notices a bomb rolling towards him before being thrown away by the explosion as the Hob Goblin runs away in fear the skeleton sees the supervisor approaching with the three Soldiers the man demand to know why no name impersonated him darl larouge Nim and produces a small crossbow from under his

cloak before he can fire the goblin child dashes and slashes his wrist causing the man to berate him as a slave he then fires his crossbow but the child manages to dodge the bolt knocking the weapon from the supervisor's hand with his lasso and jumping dagger in hand to deliver a killing blow the goblin child falls back a crossbow bolt piercing his chest upon seeing the scene his father screams in horror and approaches his son while the supervisor mocks him and prepares to finish him off with his crossbow before he can fired the enraged hobgoblin

knocks the weapon out of his hand with a quick swipe and eyes glowing red proceeds to kill the supervisor thrusting his fist through his chest and hoisting him up in the air before throwing him at the solders feet the enraged and bloodied dungeon boss Roars in Fury his muscles tearing up the bandages covering his wounds while the soldiers flee and no name looks from the ground a blue window pops up informing him that the hobgoblins mad and enchantment has activated revealing the creature as a hidden dungeon boss and raising its stats until his strength or

will to fight is consumed it also warns that blood red hob goblins are extremely non-violent pacifists that will develop a strong desire to kill when angry and it reveals a hidden quest to pacify the Hobgoblin the creature notices no name and Strikes his blows being deflected by the skeleton's sword he admires the Hobgoblin strength but uses his Superior skills to strike him from behind and send him flying AC across the room before choking him unconscious standing at top of the dungeon boss noname wonders whether he should kill the creature until he notices the worried goblins

Gathering including the creature's son the Hob Goblin then stirs and begins talking having regained his senses and Embraces his son a blue window informs noname that the hidden Quest had been completed earning him 200 Allegiance from the Hobgoblin and a 70% rise in reputation with the blood red Goblin tribe which will grow over time it also informs that the assim ation ratio has decreased to 88.3% causing the skeleton to ponder on its meaning and noting that whenever something new is recognized the assimilation rate goes down before trying to remember something his thoughts are interrupted by

the Hobgoblin thanking him and offering to repay his kindness which he refuses the Hob Goblin asks for his name which the skeleton denies having no name then tells the Goblins to hide deeper warning of the impending human war and thinks on the nekron Society tattoo and whether Reena could get more information if she were to become branch manager he also takes an ID card and a purse of gold from the dead supervisor and as he exits the dungeon the Hob Goblin runs after him and offers to repay him by telling him of the unique Goblin

Mage the Hob Goblin tells no name that the goblin Mage mud cash is a secret of the goblin race and is captivated by gold coins and he has hoarded gold coins his whole life due to this greed mud cash plans on collecting every gold coin in the world and for that purpose he created a magical coin purse that can hold in an infinite number of coins as well as presumably any other item the skeleton's interest peaked the Hobgoblin proceeds to tell him that mud cash is said to reside on the eastern mountains but in order

to find him he must go around shouting the secret code tweak tweak tweak so mud cash will come to him the goblin explains the code means do you like money I do and proceeds to teach noname how to make that sound at the TNT orphanage no name informs slime that he has completed the quest and he even got rid of nekron society members slime thanks him and offers to repair his armor the skeleton remarks that the snake tattoo worn by the members can strangle them to death and the Headmaster confirms it is the work of

magic meant to kill anyone who attempts to leak Secrets regarding the society when noname asks how to break the spell slime tells him that it depends on the power of the one who cast it believing that he might know who that person is but it's too early to say now slime then informs noname that he might have to leave for the time being on Guild business and Reena has passed the test and may have something to tell him when she returns that night an unarmored noname is looking at the night sky from his window when

Reena surprises him from behind she teases him and he notices her bruised face before asking about her promotion Reena thanks him for his help and after some pause asks him to run away together leaving everything behind save for her sister to live in hiding the skeleton bluntly declines reminding her of their agreement to use each other and make Reena branch manager so that she could be of use to him causing her to and state that the test isn't over yet she then states that they told her that she must bring him to them at a

specific time and location and that after becoming branch manager would become abundant to her suggesting they know about the skeleton's true nature no name notes the ominous request while a scared Reena States her unease and fear that he might regret going with her stating that the guilt wasn't important and they should just run no name cuts her short and states that it's important to him since they need information and reena's promotion is a way to obtain it while inwardly thinking that he also wants to clear the scenario Reena comments on how no name seems to

be more interested than her in getting into the guild before smiling weily and agreeing to go at dawn Reena and no name ride a cart in silence heading for their destination come Nightfall they're close to arriving and Reno leads the way to a ruined arena with an altar rising at its Center and caverns at its sides as they wait the pair examines the structures especially the Altar and as the clouds part no name is shocked as he identifies the symbols on the altar as the mark of the Demon King person remembering his days as a

skeleton Soldier he recalls demon king of Thunder commanding 26 units and Dawning a lion's head commanding his army with a trumpet while riding a gigantic black bear no name realizes that the TNT Guild worships a demon king and realizes the snake of the nekron society is the symbol of the Demon King Duke bodus who commanded 60 units he concludes that though it is still 10 years to ear early for The Descent upon the world the demon Kings Still influence this world suddenly several robed figures appear from the rocky caverns in the arena including an old

man with a turban and a staff who presents himself as Patrick AAR a mige and the third ranking director of the TNT national headquarters he then introduces the other figures as other TNT Executives who share the same beliefs those beliefs being the reduction of the human population noname is shocked at this and asks the man the reason for summoning him there as well Patrick states that they studied both his and reena's past noting that he immediately stood out from the rest and proceeding to list his accomplishments since rising from his grave praising his strength the

M States his desire to create a new world with him due to the merciless way humans treat other species he removes his turban revealing himself as a member of the deer people who are hunted by humans to use their horns in medicine he also states that humans also kill each other and remembering ruia and mistress succubus noname asks the deer man about his plans Patrick then states that there will be a great War and the resulting blood must be offered to their King so that he can descend upon the world to cleanse it of humans

no name identifies their King as the Demon King much to the Applause of Patrick and the crowd stands in awe as he states its name as person seeing no need to explain the Legends the Mage concludes stating that preparations for the ritual to offer the blood and cries of humans to their King are complete and once he sends it will be the end of mankind no name is surprised that such a group exists and remembering the war is about to start he asks Patrick if they're responsible for manufacturing it the M simply states that the

war was waged by the crown and they only plan on increasing the casualties preventing any call for truce and manipulating the hero of the war ultimately causing the Empire and Alliance to despise each other knowing the Future No Name thinks on how their plans will only partially succeed their God and His 12 Brethren will descend upon the world after the offerings and Slaughter mankind for a decade until they're slain he briefly thinks about how these followers would feel at seeing their gods die and later asks Patrick where he thinks the Empire will strike first he

confirms that it is Amber where the TNT headquarters are located and that despite the city's powerful and brutal attempts to prevent the war they failed and after that war preparations were hastened by the royal family no name asks the deer man if the TN T blocked the peace attempts causing him to laugh uncontrollably at the absurdity of the statement since they never could have hoped to achieve that and they simply failed he states that there will be a war and they're just going with the flow and asks Reena and noname to join them promising power

when the skeleton asks if he means power within the TNT Patrick states that it's included but he means actual power he removes his staff and summons ancient Powers as the hooded figures begin to transform into different monsters much to reena's shock Patrick's antlers grow as he morphs into a gigantic deer and many other followers assume their true forms as well and begin to converge on noname noname stares at person's followers and realizes that despite being far below the chain of command they still pose a threat to him Patrick then Stomps unleashing lightning that splits the

ground around him and making no name feel the enormous pressure under that fraction of person's power the deer man then offers this power to the skeleton prompting the latter to inquire about its cost Patrick states that once the seal is carved onto no name's body person's power will flow through him if he believes and he will only have to perform a ritual sacrifice every full moon no name notices the human followers present and upon questioning they reveal that they are regular humans who Harbor hatred towards Mankind and are apologetic to the monsters for being born

humans the skeleton then recalls that after The Descent of the demon Kings one in 10 or 20 humans joined the monster Army including some that went with the flow as well as others who had already researched black magic and had no choice but to join and a few who harbored real hatred towards humans and truly believed that they should be wiped out Patrick asks no name if he will take the seal promising to create a righteous world of balance the skeleton states that he will not try to dissuade them but will not join since he

will not devote himself to a King that will fail a harpy calls this statement blasphemy noting no name's weakness and the power he's being offered inwardly no name agrees that he is nothing and might not survive fighting a harpy and since his growth rate has reached its limit a power boost would be welcome however he fears that they will demand that he devote his life after he takes the seal and he doesn't know how many times he will revive if this will happen unwilling to be person's slave no matter the power offered as the hary

grows impatient noname asks Reena what she will do and she asks him if he would want her her to accept no name states that though she might have power for 10 years it would be gone after the demon kings are defeated sing Reena states that she would never take that power alone and nothing else mattered as long as she and no name were together the dear man is surprised at the refusal but no name reaffirms to him that he does not object to their goals he just doesn't want to become an underling to someone who

will lose the harpy Furious once again at this blasphemy Bears her talents and descends to strike him down but before she strike Reena yells at everyone to stop she states that if they don't let them go she will fire the contents of her pack revealing it to be full of Imperial Army flares everyone stands still as Reena warns that the flares will cause people to come and look and since the followers don't like the attention they should let the pair go as the harpy complains Patrick tells everyone to stand down after confirming that no name

will not take the seal Reena states that it will be difficult to stay alive now a werewolf identifying himself as Brody balov states that Reena is bluffing and that he can handle any humans that come his way a nervous Reena throws a quip concerning the werewolf's eyes before Patrick tells everyone to step away from Reena and no name since that is the optimal spot for person's judgment and he doesn't intend to drag it any longer wondering if they're being released no name announces they will depart before the deer man's antlers charge with magic and the

creature paralyzes them where they stand Patrick states he must kill them since they have heard too much but first he offers them a final chance to join no name concludes that they can't forcefully carve the seal which the deer man confirms after some thought the skeleton asks if the necron societ is made of bis's followers and if the contract with person will also kill them if they tell secrets Patrick merely states that he will know the answer if he joins or die if he doesn't and after no name requests the answer as a Parting Gift

he states that the nekron tattoos only empower the chief priest and enslaves the rest to do his bidding As the deer man asks for them to choose once again the flares in reena's bag ignite startling everyone present a blindfolded woman Whispers something in a Patrick's ear and he orders everyone to scatter as everyone else hides the blind woman remains with the paralyzed pair regretting that things turned out like that she then states that before she leaves she must take care of them as she touches reena's face her hand turns into slime revealing her to be

the Headmaster of the TNT orphanage as evidence by her mismatched eyes as the pair is being consumed no name reminds slime that children will die if War breaks out but the ladder simply states that there is no other choice and it is proper that humans should be exterminated as the Headmaster regrets that they couldn't work together any longer noname sees Reena begin to melt before the darkness descends once more noname wakes up once again in the charnal house with Reena sleeping on his lap thinking on the long life he had just had and the help

he received from the T andt Guild he knows he can't go to them this time or Reena will die again and deeply regrets causing her death a blue window confirms his inheritance is complete and reveals that he has learned a new bonus of corrosive resistance after his seventh death raising his resistance to acid it also reveals the necromancer's lover bonus has been automatically selected the skeleton concludes that in this life he will have to be alone looking at Reena he sees that her stats are different from last time and his assimilation rate has dropped dropped

to 87.7% Reena then wakes up stating she had a strange dream much to no name's surprise and gives him her pendant which he identifies as a token of trust much to reena's surprise despite accepting it he states that they will be going on separate ways and he is leaving and that she shouldn't remain in the charnal house for more than a month when Reena asks where they will meet again the skeleton stands up and states that they won't no name apologizes to her and tells her to live her life freely as he departs the dungeon

wondering where he should head next he recalls the vacant Aid underground Cemetery dungeon and heads that way sometime later as he is nearing the dungeon noname is forced to hide as soldiers ride down the road and before he decides what to do about them the men stop in their tracks They approach a katana wielding swordsman down the road and stating they are searching for spies tells him to identify himself The Swordsman mocks them for patrolling the safest Road and as they ask him to State his rank he Snickers and tells them that he is the

Spy the soldiers raise their Spears and charge but the swordsman deafly cuts off the spear tips in one Fell Swoop telling them he was joking the man pulls an ID and presents himself as Chandler namj the young Lord of Grassmere the soldiers apologize and the man tells them to get his weapon from his castle handing them his seal as proof as they depart hidden in a nearby Bush noname examines the man and as he is about to depart he hears a voice greeting him the world Fades to black as a blue window pops up telling

him the Caster's understanding of skeletons from his previous life has reached the rank ex no name wakes up unarmored unable to move and staring at several blue Windows one informs him he is in a deep sleep and is dreaming and within this dream his stats have decreased and his magic and field division have been suppressed while another states he is under a powerful enchantment as he checks his surroundings he starts to move and the blue window states that his stats are now 15% of what they were as he stumbles forward he sees another skeleton Soldier

which proceeds to fight him until a window warns him his health is below 75% noname then reads his opponent's pattern and delivers a punch that sends him flying and then snaps his collar bone the skeleton then recovers and reassembles before departing and as no name notices he has also recovered an orc skeleton appears behind him the orc sends him flying with a single punch and then raises noname by his arm shattering his humorous noname then gathers his severed arm and a blue window informs him that his level five sword Mastery has been activated with a

70% Effectiveness he stabs the orc skull with the arm shattering it and killing the skeleton before healing once more a stone then lights up as a sign tells noname to choose what he wants from an assortment of Shields and weapons making the skeleton note that someone is watching over him after he grabs a sword and shield the stat debuff is lifted and his field division restored revealing massive piles of Bones three orc skeletons assemble and approach noname as he gauges the situation one of them swings an axe at him which he manages to block while

thinking that if his skull cracks he might see Reena again but he shouldn't rely on Miracles after he loses his shield the skeleton manages to evade the orc's axe blows wondering what his captor wants although he wants to live he realizes that there isn't any hope and wonders if this is just the end and after kicking away his shield the orc skeletons subdue him on the ground he wonders why they don't just kill him concluding that someone is controlling them and wondering who could be so powerful as a woman watches from the distance as the

skeletons slam him to the ground the woman asks him if he's hiding anything else and no name is soon surrounded by screaming Spirits as The Voice keeps asking him questions the skeleton hacks at the spirits as the questions continue wondering if the voice is taunting him and demanding to know who she is in response as the spirits restrain him the voice gives a series of cryptical analogies with the last one being a clear reference to ruia No Name Is angered at the apparent mockery and the voice asks if he wants to rip her apart before

stating it is he who will end up that way the voice states that she will break and reassemble him adding Bones from other creatures this comment makes the skeleton realize that this must be a powerful being and wondering if it knows about his ability to revive asks why he was brought here the spirits release him as the voice tells him that she wanted a friendly chat while she waited for someone she states that after the digging up was done some repairs were made and she is done examining him she would want to hear his story

before answering noname asks about ruia and she answers that she saw images of her in his mind asking how long it has been since he was resurrected no name then answers that it would be 3 months if measured by normal standards and later yelling that this is his ninth life despite his many lives he failed to protect or rescue anyone and is now being toyed with suddenly a voice tells him the shout scared her and no name turns his head to see a part skeleton Woman in Red robes the half skeleton woman looks at noname

with curiosity and after she touches his shoulder a blue window pops up informing him that he is leveled up but since he doesn't meet the requirements the scenario will not start the woman then asks the skeleton about this being his eighth life and after no name explains his story she gulps and jokes at him being mad a blue window pops up informing him that his likeability with the Necromancer Gil D has increased to 35 causing the skeleton to review his necromancer's lover bonus suddenly Gils grabs his hand and teases him telling him she will have

to take him apart she grabs his head and as he hears her comment on finding no Madness nor curse in him everything Fades to Black once again non name wakes up on the cave floor once more and as he wonders if it was all an illusion Gils starts talking behind him she apologizes for taking apart his skull informing him that she took apart the parietal bone and gave him a part of her skull containing her Essence Gils then teases him and tells him that he will now be able to do something fun as the skeleton

wonders what she meant Chandler stumbles forward causing noin to ask if she killed him she replies that she just woke him from his life and handing No Name a sword tells him to exploit The Swordsman since he can easily beat him as Chandler darts forth their swords clash and they Parry each other's blows until the skeleton manages to cut off his head undeterred the Headless Chandler continu continues to fight until non manages to kick him back and stab him through the chest the skeleton then notices the swordsman's hand glowing and as Gils tells him to

try absorbing it a blue window pops up informing him that he now has the skill to absorb his opponent's Essence and that will grow as he continues to absorb more Essences as no name reaches to absorb Chandler's Essence a blue window informs him that Stacks below 50 will be absorbed and due to the low absorption level there will be restrictions to the skill as the swordsman's essence flows through him the blue window in forms no name that he has absorbed his skills and abilities and they will be usable once they are assimilated in 24 hours

Gils confirms that the absorption skill was her gift and the skeleton Marvels at its power to raise his stats and skills no name asks skills if she had the skill her entire life which she confirms before commenting on how strange it is that she is going this far with him she then activates a gravity prison and binds him in invisible Onyx chains causing a blue window to inform the skeleton that he's bound to her forever into till released as he thinks on the implications of this Gil states that she never intended to let him go

and thanks to the chains she can't even if she wanted to reasoning that she should have him by her side till death Parts them she then cheerfully tells noname to go for a stroll outside the cave stating he will only improve his new skills by trying them out they emerg from the barren catacombs dungeon and as no name points out the risk of Discovery gills reveals she covered it with a barrier and everyone in the area were going to withdraw the skeleton worries she might be killed if the blue Templars appear but she laughs it

off stating that no one in the country can kill her and if someone were to die that would be Emperor Elon Clemens she then reveals that she was meant to kill him since she was an honorary priest in the red flake order of Assassins the order had received a request to assassinate the emperor and all other members declined the request due to their unwillingness to breach their neutrality thus gills took on the request herself demanding control over Wedgestone commemoration Park as well as the obsidian Hill Park where Humanity's Heroes were buried and waited at the

dungeon for the emperor to show up she tells noname that he will arrive in 4 days to audit the southern lands and check with the newly appointed Lords no name deduced that he must be heading to arist she then tells the skeleton to walk alone on the road without concealing himself in his armor and hands him a magic blade instructing him to stab anyone who attacks him Gils then explains that the object is bound to her and it will not change ownership regardless of who wields it she then points at a group of approaching soldiers

and tells no name to get going the skeleton hides behind a tree wondering whether he can win when a spear suddenly pierces through the tree just under his ribs no name realizes he's been found and Dodges as a second spear pierces through the tree rolling and facing the incoming Soldiers the soldiers identify him as a skeleton Soldier and wonder where he came from before one flings a rondle at him which barely misses and gets stuck in a rock one of the soldiers warns about the danger posed by noname and his blade and the skeleton realizes

he's facing the emperor's Recon unit and he can't face them alone suddenly he hears a voice coming from the Rune covered dger telling him to kill the soldiers and his body starts moving on its own to attack as the blade Cuts one of the soldiers the runes start flowing into his wound causing extreme pain and his arm to swell as white blood gushes out a blue window informs noname that he is leveled up as the man dies at his feet causing the skeleton to WAND about the powers of the blade before being pinned to a

tree by the spears of other Soldiers the enraged soldiers advance to strike with their swords and as no name cuts the spear shafts to set himself free a blue window warns that his sword skill Effectiveness has decreased since he hasn't learned how to handle a dagger before the soldiers manage to finish him off GS intercedes and Strikes them down with bone throwing knives she then tells no name to finish them off himself for the absorption skill to be stronger but he hesitates after having experienced the power of the dagger The Necromancer states that the runes

in the blade will penetrate the veins of anyone who touches it despite being immune to this due to being a skeleton no name states that he dislikes being controlled by the blade but Gil counters that the blade only does what he desires as he Ponders on this The Necromancer urges him to finish them off for their sake picking up one of the soldier swords he quickly dispatches them and as a blue window informs him that absorption is possible he absorbs their Essence and skills Gils then invites him to eat something much more nutritious in preparation

for killing the emperor having left orders to the skeletons in the cavetime later two of The Emperor's magicians approach scanning the road for magic not noticing anything strange and Gils decides to let them pass and await the emperor soon after a contingent of knights approaches on the road followed by a gilded Carriage warded against spells which they deduce must be carrying the emperor no name studies the huge contingent of knights noting that their leader is wearing Mythril armor Gils playfully asks no name if he wants that armor before standing up and heading for the road

the soldiers challenge her as she stands in the Road by herself the soldiers challenge Gils and as their Captain beckons the Imperial Maes one of them halts the men and identifies the woman as one of the three guardians of amberr and the strongest Necromancer alive when questioned by the captain Gils innocently States her goal to assassinate the Crown Prince prompting the men to advance as no name watches from afar Gils stands unmoving as the knights charge at her and before the first Lance reaches her she raises her hand and issues a command causing the ground

before her to crumble the confused Knights fall into the sinkhole and prepare to fight while Gil watches from above and explains to No Name that her children had dug underground and were acting as pillars having prepared the trap in advance she then gestures at the skeleton soldiers rising from the ground amidst the knights overturning the carriage and attacking them on all sides though some of the soldiers are overwhelmed their Captain stands firm before being frozen in shock from amidst a cloud of black smoke five massive Undead Warriors rise around around their mistress who commands them

into battle the Warriors cut through the soldiers as Gils descends into the pit on a stair made by her children suddenly a spear is thrown at her and after catching it midair she sadistically throws it through several nights aiming for their Captain he manages to deflect the strike but falls to the ground from the impact raising his head to see the hellish Battlefield unfolding before him Gils advances through the Carnage as galout one of her Warriors escorts her and briefs her on the battle's progress he not that o retains his Mastery with swords and pale

Hamlin sprays the blood of enemy knights with every swing of his sword much to Gil's Delight he continues to report that Andre the heartbreaker is also meeting expectations crushing hearts with his Lance but fenri is struggling since he is facing a worthy opponent the captain of the Imperial Knights is keeping up with fenri dodging and countering the undead Knight's attacks suddenly fener jumps and attempts to strike the captain from above but the attack is deflected prompting gills to order G to help him gout then dispatches a group of nearby Knights and joins the battle with

him and fenri are jointly attacking the captain meanwhile no name Marvels at the true power of Gils as he notices the two Imperial Mages preparing to attack her with holy magic realizing the danger the skeleton hurries to stop them before they cast the spell but gills merely smiles and casts an anti-d Divine Mandela nullifying the attack as the Maas curse The Necromancer she turns to the skeleton moved by his attempt to protect her and briefly strains him with the Onyx chains as the Mages launch a fireball attack The Necromancer raises a sword and launches a

magic Purge Counterattack splitting the fireball in half the Nows split Fireball misses Gils and noname and incinerates nearby Knights as the Mages watch in a horror meanwhile zout and Fen reer battle the captain who uses his Superior swordsmanship and skills to dodge or block every strike from the undead Heroes seeing him in distress his remaining Knights rush to help him despite his protest but they are easy easily cut down by fener enraged at the loss of his men the captain blocks a double strike from the undead Warriors and vows to kill them counter attacking and

rushing towards them nearby gills continues to easily deflect the Imperial mag's attacks causing them to furiously amass a massive amount of magic for one final attack The Necromancer however is unfaced and she tells a spectating noname it's time to wrap the duel up the skeleton raises his head to see her Undead servants raise the Imperial car up in the air and send it crashing down on the Mages causing their attack and the car's protective magic to cancel each other out no names stares in amazement at the power of Gils seeing her five massive Warriors and

the fact that the entire Battalion of knights including their Captain have been annihilated Gils congratulates the Warriors and then bids the undead Imperial Knights to rise causing them to stand in formation making a path between her and the Imperial Carriage she approaches the richly dressed man who emerges from the carage Mar and promptly draws his blood with a syringe in order to analyze his genes confirming he is indeed the emperor she proceeds to fulfill the request and slice his throat with her skeleton finger the man bleeds out while proclaiming Long Live his majesty the emperor

Gil is surprised at watching the man cheer for the emperor and when noname asks if he was a body double she states that it shouldn't be possible due to the gene analysis puzzled she takes a ring from his hand and notices a swirling black MK forming over his head nervous and realizing what is happening she orders everyone to fall back a series of bone tentacles Sprout from the necromancer's back and jab at the Black Mass only to be shattered and pushed back she repeats her orders to her troops stating it will be her last command

the five Undead Warriors refuse and give her assistance stabbing the mass with their weapons as Gils frantically repeats her order suddenly the mass shatters its shards rearranging themselves into a dark sword that tears a rift in reality a worried Gils then orders her Undead Heroes to dodge before the sword slices all five of them in half one by one killing them with ease gilston throws no name back with her tendrils causing him to wonder if she wants him to run as she blocks the sword then a knight clad in Black armor with glowing details and

a billowing red cape steps out of the rift wielding the sword livid Gils swears to obliterate him as she orders her tendrils to attack the Knight sends a single strip cutting through the air and causing massive of damage killing Gil and her Undead troops noname is shocked by this and as the Knight notices him he delivers another blow stating he will make an application once the blow lands a blue window informs a confused noname that he has acquired level one two-handed sword Mastery wide slash and one strike no name thinks in confusion about the recent

developments and the Mysterious Knight until the latter summons several blades from the rift and orders them to strike towards him the blades pass right through him and a blue window informs him that his assimilation rate is at 84.68% a blank window then pops up in front of a confused noname the black Knight's details start to glow red and after stating something in an unknown language he glowers at the skeleton and turns back disappearing into the rift as the rift closes noname is left alone amidst the Carnage feeling completely powerless after failing to protect anyone and

being reduced to a mere spectator in the battle that unfolded he wonders in despair as to why he survived and the reason for being spared by The Dark Knight before turning to the blank window as he touches it his fingers pass through causing him to pull back his hand in shock believing the window to be spatial magic he tries putting a sword in causing the sword to turn into an icon on the window he concludes that the window popped once the swords passed through him and wonders what it could be though no name initially thinks

about taking all the weapons there he decides against it fearing the arrival of Imperial troops and plans to leave quickly he then approaches Gil's corpse and is surprised as a ball of essence starts shining in her chest the essence of all who fell in the battle then merge into a massive ball and noname realizing it can be absorbed approaches it as a blue window asks him to confirm his action noname Ponders on whether to absorb the essence or to try and protect Gils in this life and concludes that he must get stronger in order to

protect her in the future and to do so he confirms the absorption the massive amount of essence is absorbed into his body and a blue window confirms that he is a contained a bone sharing perk and absorbing efficiency has drastically increased raising the cap to 75 several Windows pop up informing him that his stats have increased considerably and has acquired the bone Monarch skill this skill allows him to steal an opponent's bones and form complex bone structures he wonders if this means he might form his own bone minions and believes that skill will come in

handy later he then Muses about what to do with Gil's corpse but finally decides to just leave her like that and hurry up to consume the remaining essence of the deceased Warriors as he absorbs the essence of the Imperial Knights blue Windows inform him of the absorbed skills and a timer pops up informing him that the absorption will be complete in 24 hours he then approaches the captain of the knights noting the powerful essence of the warrior and proceeds to absorb it learning several tactical skills a red window pops up informing him that he has

reached the limit of 50 simultaneous skills lamenting not being able to absorb more no name then turns to removing the captain's myal armor and after taking off the helmet finds out she was a woman and closes her eyes after Dawning the suit of armor and attaching the magic blade noname climbs out of the pit and wonders where he should head next believing he might be a danger to Reena in his condition he decides to head to a deserted place in order to digest his newly absorbed skills and so using Dash he speedily departs come Nightfall

a lone figure approaches the Carnage of the pit walking amidst the Desolation Marquee vaan Von Leandro leader of the Blue Lion Templars approaches the corpse of the captain of the Imperial Knights he calls her Isabelle and kneels over her body in solemn sorrow before raising his view with hatred and determination in his eyes no name stops after having used Dash wondering if it's far enough and deciding to save a final use in case of emergency after having used dash for several days having traveled a large distance he reasons that even if the Imperial family had

sent soldiers after him it should be difficult for them to locate him elsewhere vaen follows his tracks no name finds the place where he stopped familiar and after some searching finds the skeleton of the wolf pup he met in his previous life trapped in the bear trap having been unable to save himself remembering his bone Monarch skill he wonders if he would be able to revive it and decides to try the skeleton pup then Rises and as he wonders on how to handle it decides to cover him with a piece of cloth so he won't

catch any attention the pup then runs off by himself since no name bone Monarch level is too low to control him and the skeleton follows it through the forest meanwhile ven activates a magic Compass which points in the direction of noname and causes the skeleton's armor to emit light much to his confusion at night noname and the pup then reach a cabin with the skeleton wondering if it belonged to the hunters and realizing the pup brought him there to rest having searched the area for possible dangers noname enters the cabin and begins exploring it the

pup then urges to follow him upstairs where they find a barrel aing a dead troll noname then absorbs its Essence and gains new skills and decides to wait in the cabin until the skill is fully absorbed nearby ven passes by the bear trap and heads towards the cabin as no name's armor begins to Glow noname stares at the dead troll wondering whether he would be able to revive it like he did with the Cub placing his hand on the creature's head He commands it to rise and energy begins to flow but a red window warns

him that the troll requires 35 control and he lacks enough control to do this seeing this he wonders just how much control Gils had being unable to calculate the control required to summon the Army she used in the Ambush and wonders if he might reach such a level in the very distant future suddenly the Cub stands to attention and Barks in alarm leading no name to wonder what's the matter and brushing it off as a warning that he is all out of control he then sees a book on the table and upon inspection sees that

it is so you want to kill a troll by Kevin Ashton no remarks that it is as if it were left for him to read as he reads he notices an unknown language in one of the pages and a blue window notifies him that the Eastern language level one skill is being used suddenly he feels dizzy and a window pops up informing him that the assimilation rate has dropped to 83.9 4% he then picks up the book again and understanding the language manages to obtain the plus one intelligence bonus even if he doesn't understand the

meaning of the text suddenly the door opens and the dog begins to bark again and as no name begins to wonder why he turns to see a grim vaen standing next next to him with his blade raised unwilling to die meaninglessly he raises his magic blade and blocks the seraphim blade and recalling its properties believes that he has a chance if he manages to cut the Knight as no name presses on the sarapin blade lights up and produces a force field that sends the skeleton flying against the wall not seeing an opening he wonders if

he will die again without cutting vaen no nam's blade and stolen armor lie on the ground as vaan presses the disarmed skeleton's head to the floor and once the skeleton asks why he isn't asking anything of him the Knight knocks him out non wakes up next to a campfire wondering what happened and finding out that he's been tied up wondering if vaen spared him concluding that he must want something from him regarding the assassination of the emperor the skeleton decides to obtain some information first he taunts vaen stating how pointless his task is with the

emperor dead obtaining no response and then asks who he thought wanted the emperor dead the most stating he might know something the Knight then turns and swiftly removes his jaw rendering him unable to speak speak leading no name to conclude that he does not want information and he doesn't understand him and given the situation running away would be best Reckoning he would be caught if he fled at that time he decided to wait until the Knight is fast asleep and after some time wonders if he should make his Escape or wait since he can't tell

whether vaen is sleeping or not and senses some bugs landing on his skull hearing some strange noises noname activates his detection skill and realizes he can only detect the horse vaan being too powerful for his detection level suddenly leaves Russell and a shadow jumps from the brush and darts towards the sleeping Knight who immediately wakes up and blocks the attacker the attacker is wearing a canine mask and is armed with clawed weapons and the skeleton sees this as an opportunity to flee vaen tells the attacker that he was waiting for the skeleton's Master puzzling no

name as they break off the attacker comments that vaen is too strong contrary to the Intel she received the blue Templar promises to take both her arms and presses his attack but it merely passes through the Fox masked attacker surprising both vaan and noname she then closes the distance and Strikes the Knight promising that she will take his heart as vaan coughs up blood the attacker states that camed Starlight Fox is commencing ven grasps at his wound as the attacker remarks that she missed surprising No Name the Knight then pulls out a potion and bites

the bottle shocking the woman due to the amount of potion consumed she then decides to resort to more extreme methods summoning multiple mechanical bugs no name recall The Beatles from before and is shocked as she commands the Swarm towards ven as he reaches his horse causing them to explode and reduce the Knight to a crater full of blood noname can barely believe what he's seeing when the attacker grabs him from his bindings and Carries him a bit farther before stopping searching for a bit she produces his jaw and sets it back in place before untying

him noname asks why she is helping him and she introduces herself as elwin Esau the summoning nun of the red flakes order of Assassins whose code Cod name is Starlight Blue Fox she was sent to confirm the completion of The Emperor's assassination which she confirmed earlier along with gs's death but now there was no one to accept the reward the red flakes can't accept it since Gils took the request after leaving the order and as the sole remaining minion he should be the one to claim it no name tries to refuse stating that he was

just an observer but elen points out he has Gil's suppressive Essence which allowed her to track him and is a valid qualification as he thinks on thanking Gils in his next life the nun tells him to follow her and they head to a magic motorcycle shaped like a Scarab with elwin telling no name to hop on at the same time vaen rises from the blood pool his eyes glowing red as he recalls the beetle attack and calls a noname and elwin murderous bastards elln and noname speed through the forest on the motorbike which notifies that

their speed is in excess of 500 km an hour the skeleton holds on for dear life wondering about the vehicle and the nun explains that it was made of polymer resin molded with carbonic acid and was a part of her inheritance and as no name expresses his confusion with those terms she clarifies that she doesn't know what they mean either and is reciting what was left in the records as they speed onwards no name contemplates on the unpredictable Direction this life has taken the pair reach a cliff and the bike notifies them that there is

no Road below much to the skeleton's horror elwin accelerates and drives off the cliff and as he covers his eyes in preparation for death the vehicle switches to flight mode from Ed by the nun no name uncovers his eyes and sees the landscape with elwin pointing out yam and arist in the distance and noting how close they are making the skeleton feel weird at having struggled in that small place sometime later they land in a Barren landscape with elwin stating that the vehicle is named Perseus an amphibious sail plane and a product of science which

she describes as magic of a previous age she promises to tell noname what an inheritance is later and states that they must push the bike to their destination in order order to save fuel Perseus was made with methods lost to their age which even Amber can't replicate and it refuels over a long time when exposed to Starlight no name suggests pushing it around at night but elen tells him that the sun is also a star and as the skeleton believes she is messing with him she corrects herself while patting his head elwin then asks if

he ever visited Amber and he recalls his visit there in his first life as a skeleton Soldier and the Carnage and destruction he witnessed answering that he was there in 1157 amusing the since they are currently in the year 1147 no name then concludes that there's no point in warning her of the upcoming War since she wouldn't believe him and changes the subject asking where they are elwin explains that the desolate plane is called area b14 also referred to as the red Marsh the skeleton is confused by the name until he sees a red cloud

in the distance which upon further inspection is formed by countless red mechanical bugs the nun explains that they must number in the tens of billions ions and are similar to The Bugs she used except that they are smaller and consume everything in sight she states that there's no need for a detour and decides to show him something fun touching a panel which causes the bike to display a topographic map using Google Maps with a 16 km radius programmed to show inheritances furthermore she explains that the red patch is not the Swarm but an Undiscovered inheritance

called the million ship it has a wavelength 10,000 times stronger than the most powerful inheritance found so far and third 30,000 times stronger than Perseus which causes the Swarm to form around it the Empire sent its best magicians to investigate the site but obtained no results destroying the records of the failed attempt seeing the map no name wonders what this inheritance might be no name asks elwin about a small dot in the display next to Perseus to which she replies that everyone needs a trump card and despite being curious at the thought of her having

another inheritance he decides to press her no further elwin then getss underway activating perseus's high frequency mode to chase the bug bug away keeping them at Bay by emitting wavelengths the pair reaches the sea and head for the docks in order to get to Amber no name fears lurking sea monsters but elwin reassures him stating that they will approach the Danger Zone by ship and then continue on Perseus since it can repel monsters like it repelled the Swarm and they should be safe from stronger monsters if they avoid their habitats back at area b14 vaen

cuts a path through the Swarm undaunted wielding his seraphim blade before him as the ship travels through the rough weather elwin informs no that Amber will be quite noisy since they are preparing for war she explains they intend to attack the Empire with the freedom Alliance in order to make the red maray neutral territory but no name points out that after the Empire is defeated the alliance might turn on Amber the island nation has less than a tenth of the size and population of either of its powerful neighbors and the island managed to remain Independent

by staying in the middle of the strength and ideologies of both Powers elwin Cuts him short and states that there's also a hidden truth behind Amber's survival namely that it succeeded by controlling both sides from the Shadows causing them to fight each other leaving Amber alone no name then asks why the alliance would wage war on the Empire instead of controlling them to which he coldly replies that the Empire suddenly became uncontrollable and that was the reason behind the assassination of the emperor Elton Clemens but if that has no effect they must use the opportunity

to strike no name then recalls person's followers telling him that the empire was also gearing up for war he asks elwin what would happen if Amber succeeded to which she replies that the red flake would secure the million ship to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands the weather worsens and ellwin tells noname that they should prepare to hop on Perseus since they are approaching the habitat of the Kraken on Deck no name wonders who the captain might be to navigate the ship alone and not ask any questions about noname and the nun replies

that he only cares about getting paid and she is a regular before greeting the man and telling him that they will be getting off soon the captain only manages to acknowledge the remark before a presence lands behind him and sever his head elwin and no name curse their luck as vaen stands on the deck railing sword in hand vaen slashes at elwin to no effect causing him to confirm that she has the power to move through objects due to her inheritance the nun readies her weapons and challenges him to test his theory prompting the blue

Templar to accept and slash in vain at her neck she then asks if he has any more Elixir before striking back stating that he will die once she rips his heart out again vaan kicks her straight to the chest and sends her flying noting to himself that all he has to do to defeat her is keep attacking until her inheritance is exhausted elwin notes his persistence and vaan passes his sentence for the murder of the emperor before striking again the nun starts to taunt him before realizing the attack has also damaged the ship and asking

if he would go to such lengths to kill her even if she is innocent vaan refutes her stating that she came to retrieve the skeleton who witnessed the crime causing no name to fear that he might be blaming Gil's actions on elwin because of him elwin yells at vaan to die alone and stop demolishing the ship as she throws her clawed weapon at him the Knight catches the weapon and Strikes Back stating that if she were honorable she wouldn't be trying to cross the border illegally as the nun thinks about what to do ven keeps

reciting laws to her noting that it will be hard for all involved if they come across something worse in this area of the Seas latching one end of the weapon to the rigging she Strikes Back yelling at him to listen but he blocks the attack and presses on as vaan continues to pass sentences elwin changes tactics and tells no name to stay next to Perseus stating that they will have to get rid of the knight in order to escape the blue Templar continues to yell out his sentence until an annoyed elwin denies the charge once

more upon which he angrily states that the puppet Emperor didn't matter anyway and he is after them for the murder of Isabelle Simone and her Imperial Guardsmen stealing her armor and putting it on no name while a nervous elwin realizes the Knight is on a suicide mission as a grim vaen begins to glow from his sheer power he recalls Isabel before laying down elwin's punishment his attack splits the ship in half and damages pereus setting the boat Ablaze as a massive eye opens below it elwin pulls no name from the water end onto a piece

of the deck cursing at the situation as they turn to face the Kraken the largest sea monster an undaunted vaen stands on another piece of flatsome yelling at the Kraken to not interrupt him before slashing at the monster the strike sever several pieces of the massive tentacles and everything in the water begins to move as a war pool begins to form and the Kraken begins to swallow everything around it now inside of the creature's stomach elwin adjusts the brightness of their surroundings as her inheritance warns that only 10% of the battery remains no name is

surprised at being alive in the belly of the Kraken and the nun explains that she adjusted her inheritance to cover him as well as the battery keeps on draining and that vaen is probably alive she states that red flake had flawed intelligence lacking experience facing sword Masters and vaen was stronger than expected hiding his strength and unwilling to remain as the weakest of the four sword Masters no name regrets stealing Isabelle's armor and elwin comments that they never should have messed with the Knight but at least he wouldn't chase them inside of the Kraken immediately

vaen appears sword in hand and glowing with power causing the nun to curse his persistence realizing that she doesn't have much battery left vaan reports that she is also persistent and not being remorseful and Strikes Again having the remaining battery but damaging the walls of the Kraken stomach as the battery keeps draining the Kraken begins to shift water pouring from the open wound as elen grabs no name and holds on vaan jumps on pieces of flatsome getting ever closer as the battery drops finally reaching zero after another powerful strike Ellen apologizes for failing to protect

noname or Gils as the Kraken suffers even more damage and is forced onto the surface vaan's attack had pierced elwin through her chest and she asks him if he missed as he replies that taking her one life is not punishment enough for her crimes she strikes at his neck with her claws lamenting that she doesn't have an Elixir like he did as the knife looks on in shock the nun laughs at having company on her way to the afterlife no name stares at the two dead Warriors seeing their Essence flowing out of them and the

Kraken with elwin's inheritance depleted a red window informs noname that his health diminishes gradually due to the kraken's digestive fluid melting he wonders if he will be able to absorb all of the Essences before he dies so he can use them in future lives he begin absorbing different skills as his body falls apart trying to endure as long as possible before the darkness finally descends on him he revives in the charnal house next to Reena his stats considerably increased and thinks on how unique that life was and how he wants to avoid crossing paths with

vaen ever again he confirms that the skills he absorbed were carried over into this life and immediately integrated but a red window warns that he cannot use his new blade energy skill since he lacks Enlightenment recalling tb's words he realized izes that the skill is hard to use and wonders how he might acquire Enlightenment he then steps away and decides to test his new skills including vaan sword Mastery and the kraken's AET and absorption skills marveling at the results and thinking of the endless possibilities of essence absorption no name wonders if these Powers will allow

him to protect the ones he lost in the past including Gils and notes that as the list of people he wants to protect keeps growing he has to become even stronger in order to protect them all and is determined to achieve this no matter how many lives it takes Reena wakes up and sees the destruction caused by no name's attack and as the skeleton begins to wonder when she woke up she grabs his hand with hers and frantically asks him to take her as his disciple calling him Master Reena asks noname to take her as

his disciple after witnessing his power wanting to learn swordsmanship from him and promising to do anything in return the skeleton feels uneasy at seeing Reena like this and feels bitter at not being able to make her acquaintance this time he then makes an excuse sending Reena to clear some dungeons before meeting again in Grassmere and admits that the reason he couldn't teach her yet was because he needed to save Gils while he dashes to where he met her a Wandering Chandler namj notices noname dashing past and decides to attack him in order to test his

strength requesting a duel remembering who he is the skeleton does not want to waste any time but fears killing him might get him caught up with the same events as before noting he is an errant Knight he offers to settle the issue at the arist tournament and after some hesitation Chandler falls for the ruse and decides to test his strength there promising to wait for noname in the tournament noname feels bad for deceiving the Knight but believes it's fine since he saved his life and decides to start looking for Gils suddenly he is hoisted from

his ankle by Gil's bone tentacles and The Necromancer rejoices at finding someone stronger than Chandler to turn into a minion no name begs to be heard as the amused Necromancer thinks on what she should turn him into and trying to catch her attention he mentions the two sites she was rewarded for her current assignment this causes her to pause and wonder if the red flake sent him and while while he denies any affiliation he states that elwin is on standby nearby Gils rorts that she should be on a break and no name goes on to

state that she might want to meet her since they are close and that he knows the details of her plan to Ambush and kill the emperor upon hearing this the Furious Necromancer asks who he is and how he knows about her plans and no name tells her to run since her plan will fail stating that he saw her death in his previous life and came back to save her also mentioning the names of her Undead Heroes Gils pauses and releases noname lamenting that someone like him appeared just then and telling him to wait till she

gets rid of the emperor before toying with him noname tries to stop her repeating that she will die and a cold Gils replies that her plan is perfect and well underway and that she trusts her plan more than the words of a stranger she just met as Gil's plan unfolds he wonders if he is simply unable to change the past no matter what he says being unable to break free of those endless restraints and save anyone just after the emperor is slain no name approaches Gil and as the rift opens once more she tells him

that if they ever meet again in another life he should tell her that she couldn't find it and to not give up and to have a dream as ambitious as lindor's son so she will believe him Gils is slain once again but this time he has the words to make her believe him next time he then absorbs her Essence and his absorption skill levels up unlocking new perks such as instant assimilation of new skills he then goes on to absorb the Essences of the Mages and assimilate their skills as well but a red window appears

telling him that he requires an Arcane heart to use magic he recalls Mr succubus told him about this and believes magic might be impossible since he doesn't have a heart he then absorbs a meditation skill and the blue window informs him of a small possibility of attaining Enlightenment with it seeing how this skill came from Mages he concludes that he must absorb as wide a variety of Essences as possible wondering what else he can absorb he notices the captain of the knights but he also remembers that vaan considered her more important than the emperor and

risk rked his life chasing him for her not wanting to cross paths with vaen he stays clear of Isabelle and while the white inventory window pops up he believes he can't do anything about it at the moment and dashes to safety believing that going straight to Reena might be dangerous he decides to make sure that vaen won't come after him repeating what he did in his previous Life by Reviving The Puppy and returning to the cabin reading the book again he sees some text that wasn't there before making him wonder if there's a secret condition

that he must fulfill as a blue window confirms that earned the plus1 intellect bonus he Ponders on the phrase making contact with the broken pieces and its meaning and then starts meditating which increases his quality of concentration but does not yield the enlightenment needed to use blade energy he then draws his sword and copies these sword techniques of the strongest Fighters he met including vaen Isabelle Gil's Warriors and the Black Knight he keeps swinging the blade and overexerting himself until his stamina reaches zero ignoring the warnings as the red window warns that his stamina will

will decrease permanently by 10 finally a blue window informs him that he has achieved Enlightenment and the restriction has been lifted enabling him to use blade energy as his sword is engulfed in blue energy after a week passed without vaen appearing noname reckons that it should be safe to go to Grassmere and meet Reena wondering how he might pass inspection in the city he recalls the Masquerade skill he absorbed from elwin which would allow him to wear a human face for a while he activates the skill and checks his face out with his blade shocked

at finding out he had oped the face of the Marquee and a blue window informs him that he has a 65% likeness to the most recent person who left the biggest impression and it will last for 10 minutes with a 6-hour cool down he approaches the city concealing the pup in a sack and notices some commotion at the gates as several people demand that they sell them something while a guard tells them that he can't meet the amount they demand at this time no name believes they must be Merchants trying to buy weapons from grassme

and a nearby Merchant overhears him and compliments his hearing the merchant then states that every Lord in the Empire wants grass's weapons but they can't resolve the issue through Force he then explains to noname that weapons produced in the city are so valuable due to the highquality steel produced there and it is believed that the devil handed them the secret long ago according to Legend a demon-like sorcerer gathered blacksmiths to produce steel Golems to protect his grave and their descendants settled down in what became Grasmere no name Ponders on whether this involves the demon Lords

as well until suddenly everyone stares at the top of the city walls soldiers pull out a massive ballista which the messenger defines as the messenger for its ability to make everyone who sees it obey and the weapon pulverizes a wagon belonging to the aggressive Merchants as a warning as his mechanical engineering skill activates noname notes that the ballista won't last long if they keep using it like that surprising the merchant with his ability to understand the machine's complex workings from a mere glance the merchant then hands the skeleton his Guild's letter of introduction telling him

he can become their Patron if he Gathers five of them and lists the benefits that entail before introducing himself as Jana UB of the merchant Alliance Guild head of the J household no name recalls the name from his time with the TNT Guild fighting on behalf of that household in the arist tournament surprised to encounter this man in such a way when asked why he would give No Name the card UB simply replies that he considers him worthy of their services before departing to attend some other business telling the skeleton to find him at the

crowded Cactus Inn no name thinks there might be a day when he will need yub's help but his thoughts are cut short when Chandler appears sword in hand accusing him of deceiving him as he Rambles on about not finding a worthy opponent sa for him and tbol no name notices Christina standing behind him she tries to calm him down pointing out that those events allowed him to hire her and despite agreeing Chandler insists on settling the issue of the deception and lunges forward no name disarms Chandler without killing him causing the young man to yell

at him for holding back and thus not acknowledging him as his opponent the skeleton then states that he he talks too much and just as Christina draws her blade he activates his blade energy skill and holds his sword for them to see and tells them to stop being annoying seeing this Chandler falls to his knees and apologizes for not recognizing he was important and then asks for no name's help much to the skeleton's confusion once inside Grassmere Castle Reena complains about guards showing up at the Inn for her and Chandler apologizes before stating his request

he wants the No Name to get rid of a mage named bamat Isaac who lives in the basement of the castle and has been using Chandler's family for the past 300 years while no name links this to the legend Jana yub told him Chandler describes a dream he's been having for the past 20 years in it humans are devoured by insects and beasts while a jeweled Crow perches itself at top Grassmere defending the city once the humans have been purged no name realizes that this is connected to the Demon Lord malfus Chandler goes on to

explain that the dream is a curse shared by The Heirs of the Chandler house and caused by the maia's brainwashing stating that the sorcerer will protect anyone who does everything he asks he hasn't been brainwashed yet since he hasn't turned 25 yet and tells them that after the air to the house reaches that age he heads past the barrier to the basement not of his own valtion linking his body to the slumbering M's coffin and offering his life force until the day he dies having seen his father go through that Chandler decided to take action

before turning 25 but since the matter is related to the demon Lords he couldn't ask anyone for help without provoking their Wrath that was until no name had stumbled into grass mirr Reena is dubious about accepting and asks if there's something else in the basement and Chandler confirms Isaac's steel Golems are still around and are very powerful and the reason the Man became a knight errant was to be able to fight the Contraptions he offers them a 300-year-old blueprint of the Golems obtained through the merchant Alliance and no name uses his mechanical engineering skill to

study the plans and find the Golem's weak points and source of power finding out that they are powered by a spell called Ru room which takes the place of an Arcane heart to power inanimate objects through magic as noname wonders if using this would allow him to use magic Reena asks for time to analyze the offer and Chandler agrees hoping for a favorable answer as a noname begins to analyze the request the pup moves in his satchel and once he uncovers it Reena Embraces it finding it cute she believes that the request is a good

opportunity for them explaining that while exploring dungeons she was promoted Once In The Guild and handed the TNT Guild rule book written by tropin Nao who co-founded the Guild 300 years ago Reena then shows a no name of page that states that whoever brings R room to the guild will be made branch manager immediately as he realizes he might make Reena branch manager without the help of person's followers a blue window pops up regarding the reena's story scenario indicating how it might end once Reena becomes branch manager after accepting the request Reena and noname are

led to the Hall of the ancestors where all the Grassmere blacksmiths are gathered so he can pick his weapon of choice as they look through the weap weapons including a grass's fire machine gun Chandler leads a no name to a massive sword stuck on a wall telling him that it is fused with the wall and protected by spells so Force alone will not pry it Loose as the skeleton attempts to pull it free his dagger skill activates allowing him to draw the sword from the wall as the group heads down a desolate hallway Chandler explains

that there's a barrier at the end that prevents everyone save the air from entering making no name have a bad feeling Chandler then opens a secret passageway and as they descend a flight of stairs the skeleton thinks about releasing the pup Christina comments that she believes they're close and Reena prepares to fight as Chandler tells them that they will have to pass the Iron Gate which can only be passed by the bloodline of the House of Chandler no name pauses in front of a gargoyle depicting a jeweled Crow and Reena feeling the same unease tells

him that while clearing the bolt of the doomed spider ruined dungeon she found a place filled with spider statues and a huge hidden altar which gave her the same sensation as the crow in inwardly noname recognizes the description as a statue of ball recalling that he once served under the Demon King's Command in the war between humans and demons being thrown into the front line as worthless consumable tools Chandler pulls no name out of his introspection and proceeds to cut his hand and let the blood drip into the crow's beak as an offering opening the

gate as the iron gates swing open they see what appears to be a temple and a group of Steel Golems standing still and a blue window informs noname that he is in a dungeon and is is unable to clear it with his current level despite only one person being required for the task as he thinks on this the steel golems come alive and head towards them stating that only one offering was given and impurities will not be allowed to enter no name Ponders the situation and wonders what to do and seeing the six Golems before

him his mechanical engineering skill activates allowing him to study them telling his companions to Target one Golem each he readies his sword and plunges forward to take care of the other three Christina Dodges her Golem's attack s and then aims for the joints but the creature catches her Blade with one hand and slams her with the other Chandler is distracted by this but manages to dodge his Golem's attack and block another with his sword realizing there is no time to dodge Reena barely Dodges her Golem and thinks it will be difficult to approach the joints

as she turns she is surprised to see no name has already killed one the skeleton thinks on how they are weaker than expected being Rusty due to the centuries of inactivity since its creation as he smashes a second Golem's head he sees the r room flowing from it and he gathers some in order to make Reena branch manager noticing Chandler is about to be crushed no name turns and activates his black sword and acid skills slicing through the creature with ease he then dashes next to Reena and hands her the ru room and facing the

next Golem as she runs slices her Golem in half with a single swing nearby Christina has activated her Berserker skill and Strikes at her Golem with all of her might while no name jumps and decapitates the creature from behind as Chandler rejoices at the likelihood of breaking his curse an egg-like structure deeper into the dungeon begins to laugh considering it funny after defeating the Golems noname asks Chandler where he can find the m and he happily points the way while Reno worries inwardly about how easy it was to defeat the Golems she shares this unease

with noname and He suggests that she go back first but the girl refuses to leave his side even if she dies causing noname to realize that her attitude is the same as with person's followers they finally arrive at the egg-shaped structure which is the coffin the Mage Slumbers Reena asks if Isaac resides there and Christina thinks of breaking it before no name tells them to think their actions through carefully he then asks Chandler if grass's Fire Burns through everything before handing him the grass's flame machine gun so he can get the Revenge by himself Chandler

approaches the coffin and sets it a blaze with his weapon but reeno remains uneasy suddenly a tendril of black smoke exits the coffin and hits noname who finds himself unarmored and walking among Crows The Crows form a face that wonders how he is still conscious and Unbound to any Spirit since it never happened before but decides to swallow the skeleton anyway his possession resistance skill activates but his level is too low he fails and is possessed by Isaac Reena notices something is wrong but the possessed no name approaches her and uses hypnosis and illusion in

order to subdue her before heading outside to get their reward for saving the Chandler family Chandler's father danler Herbert meets noname grateful for his services and the possessed skeleton states that that he only needs his signature as a reward as the man reaches for the paper Isaac clarifies that it grants him a permanent permission to forging rights the weapons in the Hall of the forefathers authority over the basement and power over any extraterrestrial owned by grassme he then hypnotizes the Lord causing him to agree and give him their family amulet as a token of appreciation

for him to use while he waits for his request to be fulfilled Isaac then leaves for his room stating that he knows the castle better than Chandler and asking to not be disturbed in his room the possessed to No Name takes off his armor and tosses the bag with the pup to Reena who then takes her leave as she opens the bag the dog bites her but free from the hypnosis she calms the pup telling it that they must wait for a chance as no name contemplates his fate in the mindscape he sees Isaac carving

symbols into his bone and asks what he's doing the Mage surprised at finding him conscious states that he is trying to make the body more useful and he should be grateful warning that if he showed resistance he would kill Reena realizing no name really cares for her he comments on how fun it would be to kill her with his skills he then carves blood vessels in no name's arm imbuing it with the ru room and explaining his actions while the skeleton objects and interrupts he States the ru room is the blood of the Apostle killed

by the first emperor and as it seeps into the carvings he tries his arm out by freezing a mirror when no name asks for the reason for his actions Isaac introduces himself as the lord of the Golden Dawn and high priest of the king's Tabernacle and reveals he plans to use the skeleton's body to summon the demons to Grassmere he was controlling the Chandler family biing his time but as no name proved to be an excellent vessel his mission became much easier he asks the skeleton for his name and the latter insists that he doesn't

know it Isaac reads his mind to find the location of his grave dashing there in order to get the name and unleash his true power as no name Comforts himself thinking at least Reena is safe with him away from Grassmere a series of Windows pop up informing him of the skills he has due to being Soul bounded he regrets he might not be able to use the abilities and failing to observe the process of the blood carving in order to use magic without an Arcane heart but believes he might use Isaac to get something useful

he asks if the Mage can read his mind to which he replies that he can't unless he asks a simple question or has a clear answer and he is not interested in his thoughts no name realizes the sorcerer does not know his secret regarding his many former lives or the blue window and despite being a great sorcerer he wouldn't be able to answer him about that subject arriving at no name's grave Isaac comments on its sorry State and lack of a tombstone lamenting that the process of finding the skeleton's name has become a bit of

a hassle the Mage then comments on how Cal no name is and believes that it's because he thinks Reena is safe he informs the skeleton that Reena is following them knowing that she was just acting like she was still brainwashed he told her where they were going in order to destroy non name's Soul in front of her leaving the girl no choice but to follow him noname points out the sorcer insanity but is comforted by the thought that he will revive once he dies Isaac senses his lack of fear and changes his mind determined to

do something worse he plans to put noname soul in the Chandler family amulet trapping him forever and then throwing it into the ocean once he gets bored so no one can find it noname becomes afraid at this Prospect and Isaac noticing this decides to seal him suddenly Reena appears at top a horse with the pup determined to stop him from invoking the magic circle and throw throws a net at him Isaac destroys the net and inundates reena's mind with nightmares neutralizing her before proceeding to seal noname in the amulet as the incantation proceeds no name

is bound by chains but suddenly several red Windows pop up informing him that The Binding is denied and Reckless sorcery is incapacitated as Isaac yells in disbelief another window pops up informing that the Caster of the chain of seals will be restricted as the chains bind him a desperate Isaac realizes he must find this skeleton's name quickly in order to avert the crisis but it's too late as a window pops up informing noname that the assimilation rate has decreased to 79.4% the sorcerer's soul is bound to the amulet and an explosion rips the area no

name then Rises realizing that he's in control of his body once again the skeleton pup happily rushes towards him and a blue window reveals that its name is Chestnut and he has unlocked the achievement to recognize his owner raising the bone Monarch skill no name sees this and praise His Chestnut raising his intelligence while a blue window informs that he is happy Reena then approaches unscathed apologizing for being unable to help and glad that noname is back as they look at his destroyed grave noname notices a slightly buried stone that looks like a tombstone and

as they uncover it they realize that his name has been scratched off deliberately leaving no trace of it they wonder who would do this to an empty grave and no name concludes that they won't find any leads about who did it and Reena expresses her disappointment since she was also curious about his name having nothing left to see there no name suggests that they leave wondering where they could get more R room for Reena suddenly no name hears a voice calling for him finding out that it's coming from the Chandler family amulet which now contains

Isaac's Soul as the sorcerer says that his Consciousness is fading Chestnut begins to angrily step on the amulet before biting it no name tells Isaac to be quiet but Reena can't hear the Sorcerer And is amused at finding out he is bound to the amulet with a sadistic look she starts to think of ways to destroy destroy the amulet while Isaac promises to be useful and do anything if he is spared doubting him Reena pulls a Candlestick from her sack and uses it to burn the amulet hurting the sorcerer Isaac continues to claim that he

is useful and tells them that he knows where to find more R room offering to guide them to the church of malfus that he built no name and Reena cut their way through a dense forest as they push forward Isaac complains and taunts Reena who believes the sorcerer won't help them and threatens to torture him with the candle Isaac tells them to continue and after some time they stumble upon several totems the sorcerer tells them to approach in order to inspect them and after Reena notes that they've been intentionally broken Isaac begins lamenting what Joshua

has become stating that he built the totem so he wouldn't leave his side he then admits to having lied to them expecting Joshua to be there powering the totem barrier and causing them to hallucinate and be hunted as Reena prepares to burn the amulet Isaac promises to guide them properly stating that he must find out what happened to his descendants and promising to be truthful in in the name of malfus knowing the power of a priest's Pledge on its God's name no name decides to believe him once more later the group descends a nearby cliff

and enters a cave finding a fortress-like temple amidst the jungle no name wonders if there's R room inside which the sorcerer confirms before they enter the largest building once inside they are met with the ghastly sight of dozens of tied up skeletons hanging from the ceiling which no name concludes are Isaac's Descendants the sorcerer asks him to show him the floor and recognizing a pattern drawn there concludes that his descendants were tortured alive before being sacrificed to person no name recalls his previous encounter with person's followers considering being consumed by slime more Humane than the

fate of the unwilling sacrifices Isaac then tells the skeleton to approach a wall and put his hand through it and upon retrieving it noname sees several vials of Ru room the sorcerer offers all of it to noname in exchange for help annihilating all of person's followers following Isaac's instructions and wishing to learn the skill noname carves more circuits into his bones and pours more rum into them greatly increasing his strength a blue window informs him that he has acquired the skill to carve R room circuits and Isaac guides him to some dungeons where he can

train his magic before facing off with person's followers in a dungeon no fights a grotesque monster while Guided by Isaac leveling up after slaying it this is the third dungeon he has cleared so far while training his magic powers and no name notices that reena's stats have increased and he has received a new quest to ra his sword skill level Isaac asks noname how he feels using magic and as the skeleton expresses doubt about running out of R room Isaac reassures him that the low-level magic that he's using will not consume too much of his

Supply as they exit the dungeon Reena feels uneasy feeling that despite slaying the monsters they're still forgetting something and she transmits this feeling to noname later they reach the two narrow Gorge named thus by the founding Emperor sron they deduce the next dungeon must be close to the capital and Reena states that she she's been there only twice since the road to the TNT headquarters passes through there no name suggests that they stop by The Guild and get her promoted by handing over rum glad to have avoided slime and person's followers in this life suddenly

Reena stops uneasily noticing that something is wrong and Isaac is awfully quiet fearing something bad will happen she is interrupted by a hooded man accusing them of destroying their altars and vowing to kill them as no name identifies them as person's followers the hooded man goes on to state that they left Mal mark on all of the altars while His companion recalls thinking that they had killed all of malus's followers and vowing to kill them fearing Isaac betrayed them again no name wishes to clear the misunderstanding but prepares to fight as he uses magic in

his attacks person's followers accuse him of lying sensing malus's energy in his magic since his magic abilities were absorbed from Imperial Mages no name concludes that the only other culprit must be Isaac and his circuits and wonders if he's been played again meanwhile a cloaked figure watching es from a top The Gorge no name and Reena fend off person's followers the skeleton's magic being repelled by a shield until the followers Leader's head explodes from a shot the cloaked figure jumps into The Fray wielding an energy rifle catching no name's attention and dispatching two more followers

with ease using the commotion she tells noname and Reena to follow her and as Reena remains suspicious she removes her cloak and reveals herself to be tropen Nao co-founder of the TNT Guild much to the girl surprise troen then tells the pair to follow her and they depart the battle reaching a hidden tunnel they enter a complex of underground vaults and troen explains that they were built 1,000 Years Ago by humans to avoid the past Apostles and she found it looking for all the Lost rur room in the world no name recalls that it was

said that humans prior to sron lived like livestock surprised that they could build such a vault and after trop and Taunton with the secret Imperial Library he Muses about how much more complex the world is compared to what he knew the group climbs a ladder and emerges into the secret TNT headquarters in the imperial capital which was unknown to Reena a man named Persian then criticizes noname and Reena for disturbing their work but troen chastises him stating that it is rare to find a new be like Reena untainted by person's faction and they must raise

her right after a cat-like creature named shunian inspects and vets Reena the confused girl asks who they all are Persian identifies himself as one of the seven Guild leaders of TNT and the rest as Guild members who follow troen Reena then asks if she is the same woman who founded the guild 300 years ago and troen preferring a demonstration pricks her finger and reveals she replaced her blood with Ru room in order to extend her life as troen explains that she is the most knowledgeable member of The Guild when it comes to Rum noname asks

her to check his circuits to confirm something touching him she identifies the circuits as Isaac's handiwork surprised at finding him alive and trapped a sorcerer named runia confirms that Isaac is trapped by by a powerful seal that might be broken if one axis is broken and troen confirms that no name circuits contain malus's seal being evident once energy is applied meaning that Isaac lured him into person's followers to be attacked runia asks to experiment on the amulet and Reena happily obliges handing her the Candlestick as well troen then explains that she opposes person's followers who

infiltrated the guild while she was focused on R room and has lost all influence since few members know that she lives she refuses to reveal her existence since it would trigger a civil war within the guild to which Reena replies that the best tactic would just be to overflow them in one go much to Persian approval as shunian confirms that the amount of rum is more than enough per the guild rule book troen orders reena's appointment to be prepared immediately Reena is then formally entrusted with the seventh Imperial branch of the TNT Guild prompting a

blue window to pop up informing noname that he has cleared the reena's story scenario giving her power within TNT it also informs him that she has earned the title beginner soldier of the dark side that the aid within the darkness scenario has activated a new scenario slot has been added and his assimilation rate has lowered to 74.3% as no name's head spins and he wonders about the assimilation rate he sees shiron and offer Reena to be her assistant gathering information as the rest lament not being able to have her on their branches as well as

Reena snaps him out of it troen offers no name to become a member and the girl asks for some time to speak with him alone she fears that he will leave her since she has become a branch manager and asks him why he felt so responsible for her well-being having finished the scenario Nona wonders if it's time for him to tell her everything and decides to tell her his entire story and their adventures in his previous lives taken a Reena states that she feels like she solved a riddle regarding on why she wanted to rely

on him revealing that she had dreams of visiting places that she had never been noname then asks if she doesn't resent him for failing her prompting her to narrate her traumatic life growing up alone and having to fend for herself and kill to survive until she met him no name is surprised to hear this end offers to stay but Reena replies that even if he goes she knows that they will meet again in this life or another instead she hands him her pendant her mother's heirloom and as he vows to keep it safe a blue

window informs him of the object and its perks much to the skeleton's surprise no name rushes over the rooftops remembering reena's concerns about her sister living at slime's orphanage promising to retrieve her since she is very precious to her in the streets several armored people mourn a loss so no name decides to wait for the funeral and use it as a distraction as he wonders the meaning of the underground tunnels a cat catches his attention before suddenly Vanishing leaving a newspaper behind the paper tells of the death of Isabelle and vaen taking his life as

a result which no name brushes off as baseless rumors before noticing the paper was written by Kevin Ashton as he reads the entire paper his intelligence Rises causing him to think of the books he read previously and concludes that Kevin Ashton is trying to approach him he thinks of asking troen about the author but brushes it off and later thinks of the powers of reena's pendant to get him out of dangers a blue window asks him if he would wish to change the pendant settings but he decides to leave it as it is in the

streets the funeral procession begins moving and as no name thinks of leaving a knight named Ry begs vaan not to leave them and refutes the idea that he killed himself beginning to think that the paper might be true he decides to check it out planning to absorb his Essence if possible as he approaches he finds it strange that he can't see vaan's Essence flowing from the coffin concluding that there's no body and wondering why he would choose to play dead or if they just can't reveal the body as no name wonders if vaan was killed

when questioning about Isabelle's death rley sneaks up on him and grabs him from behind as noname couldn't feel his presence the Knight questions the skeleton and sensing trouble but not grave danger he tries to find a way out taking his chances he activates masquerade as he removes his helmet posing as a relative of vaen the Knight can't believe his eyes and tells no name to hold up his blade in order to see his swordsmanship skills despite finding the request strange the skeleton wonders if he can't replicate vaan's style after absorbing his skills before he raises

his Greatsword the Knight splits his blade and hands him one half and as the Mas rage time slowly runs out he demonstrates basic sword techniques until the man is satisfied putting his helmet back on just in time non moves to leave but insists that the skeleton see vaen one last time since they were so close believing to know the location of the body considering this as an opportunity noname asks Ry the need for the commotion and he replies that he did it to see if there was someone there he could trust he goes on to

state that the imperial house was probably behind the scheme since vaan had been uneasy and distant from them and rley once tailed him to the Palace while hiding he then saw man carrying a coffin out of the palace and into a breeding house and believed that they planned to turn the corpse into animal feed No Name is angry at the prospect of losing vaan's Essence but Ry mistakes it for grief and a blue window indicates his affection has risen later the pair arrives at the supposed location of the corpse recognizing the lighting of the breeding

house as an Arcane lamp reallyy suddenly senses something and takes cover with noname as a sound approaches later revealed to be countless snakes slithering past noticing the skeleton's confusion the Knight warns him to beware of snakes in the capital be them real or depicted no name realizes the nekron society is involved which rayy confirms before advancing towards the breeding house and kicking the door open no name notices bright Essence flowing behind a door but both men's attention soon turns to the breeding pens as they notice small monsters feeding on corpses reallyy throws up at the

ghastly sight and using the distraction noname heads for the door and enters what turns out to be a meat locker with corpses hanging upside down among them ven hangs with penetration ations in his neck and chest which surprises noname but doesn't deter him from absorbing his Essence and skills a blue window notifies him of all of his recent gains including this special skill true sight rley then enters the room apologizing for not being there before and recalls how he used to be in the smooth scorpions Thieves Guild and how vaan pardoned him and brought him

into Knighthood taking his side against anyone who questioned his worth as rley takes care of the body no stands Lookout outside thinking on how useful the night might as an acquaintance until he hears a scream coming from the House suddenly reena's pendant activates and triggers the play dead skill with increased Effectiveness causing him to lay on the ground as he wonders what might have killed rley and whether he should use other skills to run away a snake approaches being announced by a red window as the serpent Devourer of dawn as the Beast approaches his movement

attack speed stats and skills are decreased and as the skeleton believes he is done for the serpent departs leaving him alone as a blue window notifies him that the restrictions are lifted no name decides to wait a little longer until it's safe and eventually notices people from the palace approaching the men Rejoice at having the day off and reveal that the farm is being expanded and the larvae being fed will be used in the upcoming War something which noname had never seen under mistress succubus he notices they all wear a necron Society tattoo and decides

to get closer with his stealth skills the men comment on the power of the larvae once fully grown and prepare to chop the frozen bodies before noname dispatches them all he then absorbs ry's Essence while lamenting his demise acquiring stealth skills which he considers very useful noname then thinks on the implications of what he just learned but decides to stop digging for now in order to avoid getting killed without anyone knowing he then decides to leave the capital and retrieve reena's sister activating Sprint and dashing away reena's sister refuses to go with a noname a

little earlier the skeleton had approached her looking sad and alone outside of the orphanage and handed her a letter from Reena the girl was upset at receiving the letter since Reena hadn't been able to visit her in this life yet due to being away questing with noname and wouldn't come to solve this noname takes the blame for reena's absence and promises he will leave Reena to do things alone soon and wants the girl to protect her as reena's sister agrees to this they depart the orphanage heading for Grassmere planning to remain there while Reena continues

to work with troen considering the city safe since Isaac is no longer there as no name of approaches the city of blacksmiths he notices a tenser atmosphere as more crossbows Adorn its battlements and Chandler is having a heated argument with a military officer outside of the gates regarding an impending War the man greets aname and informs him he is now the Lord of Grassmere after his father's retirement and introduces the officer as Baron Linberg of the empire vouching for no name before him once inside the palace no name recounts to Chandler his ordeals while possessed

by Isaac and though he refuses the rewards the sorcerer were demanded of Chandler's father the man insists that he deserved them the skeleton then requests Reena be protected and Chandler reassures him that the city is protected by the Empire noting that Baron Linberg was dispatched by the Imperial Palace directly this worries no name who wonders what to do as an unsettled no name decides to stay for a few days Chandler offers him a tour of the city and is refused they see Christina training troops in the courtyard and as noin thinks on how well she's

fitting in Baron Linberg arrives with a new order from the Imperial Palace requisitioning all of grass meir's special weapons Chandler is shocked by the order considering it would leave the city vulnerable in the upcoming war and is enraged at the suggestion that the Empire take over the city security Authority telling the baron to convey the message that he won't listen to unrealistic commands as the officer departs Chandler comments on how the baron wasn't usually like that being a tenacious Cavalry commander before suddenly turning into a puppet of the Imperial Palace and changing completely no name

is alarmed at this and wanders about the the dangers of refusing the Imperial palace's commands but Chandler brushes it off stating that they need him to rule Grassmere since there is no relative that can replace him remembering arist no name thinks the young man might be right but wonders what might happen if the palace does make a move remembering vaan's death and the nekron society Chandler notices no name is worried but the skeleton decided to save his doubts to himself for now and wait for reena's pendant to react that night no name Tails Baron Linberg

following him and noting how his body seems wavy and out of proportion the baron enters a tent that is warded off with magic preventing no name from overhearing what's Happening and after some time the skeleton decides to Sprint to the castle to warn Chandler approaching the castle no name notices the soldiers at the gate have been killed traversing the deserted Halls the skeleton then stumbles upon the palace servants hanging from the ceiling and turns to face Christina impaled against Chandler's door as crunching and chewing noises come from within opening the door no name finds a

huge larvae eating Chandler's corpse and starting to adopt the young man's form noname identifies the larvae as one of the creatures bred at the capital and he realizes that he had never heard of them before while serving succubus because they were disguising as humans he then slays the creature as it attacks commenting on how weak they are and noting that this is what happens to those who disobey the Imperial Palace realizing that Baron Linberg was replaced as well he is pulled from these thoughts by a dagger heading towards him and after deflecting it he realizes

that the weapon was imbued with freezing magic which he nullifies using Blaze no name then turns to face a group of masked individuals wearing dark suits and promptly begins fleeing from them towards the basement unable to even feel their presence no name recounts how he managed to kill three pursuers but nine still remained and he continues to dodge and Counterattack as he heads deeper into the basement the pursuers are wary of chasing the skeleton into the unknown Chambers but are unwilling to give up after losing three men noname finally reaches Isaac's altar the ru room

in his circuits almost dried up from the exertion he regrets having picked up reena's Sister believing her to be dead and decides to go down fighting a red window warns that stamina is below 15% but the undeterred skeleton keeps fighting before disappearing into a door that suddenly opened once he used magic he notices his pursuers can't follow him and he concludes that he can pass due to Isaac engraving malus's seal into his circuits no name now stands in a hallway flanked by Black Gold Crow statues and ending in a massive door glowing with power and

carved with unreadable runes unable to open the door the skeleton decides to wait for reena's pendant to judge the situation being able to hear his pursuers in the tunnel speaking of being scared of they suddenly a cry is heard and the tunnel Falls silent and as the pendant countdown near zero a high healed figure advances in the tunnel after slaying the pursuers the barrier blocking the tunnel then explodes revealing a muscular crossdresser wearing The Masks of the pursuers as bloody trophies as the pendants cool down time ends a red window informs noname that no solution

can be found and the level of danger is too high and the pendant starts to disintegrate no name is surprised as reena's pendant shatters and noticing the broken masks in her belt and the fact she just broke Isaac's barrier with ease wonders just how dangerous the person before him might be being unable to measure her strength and unable to escape the person teases noname and calls herself charming and the confused skeleton decides to get as much information as possible before dying prompted she explains that strong barriers consume weaker barriers and she has five layers surrounding

her including a presence block preventing anyone from sensing her which surpasses that worn by the ghosts that pursued no name she also tells him that she has a self Force barrier preventing changes in the world from affecting her and Promises to tell him more once they get closer before approaching the gate and punching it with all of her might as the gate doesn't budge she asks no name how to open it and as the skeleton considers lying the person approaches him suddenly and warns him to not try since her third layer is authenticity which she

uses as the head of the Imperial palace's intelligence agency to detect lies realizing that he doesn't know how to open the door she decides to get rid of him using sword skill on her fingernail in a way that reminds him of vaen after the skeleton asks her if she killed the Marquee she regretfully admits it claiming his mistakes were her responsibility since she as duke was the one who recommended him to the position of Marquee no name is shocked at learning that she's a Duke knowing that there are only three people with that title in

the Empire The Duke goes on to state that she used her recommendation on vaen as a promise to conquer the world together getting enraged when recounting that their plans were ruined when Isabel was killed as no name concludes that she cleaned up the mess as vaan turned against the Imperial Palace she tears up lamenting vaan's death before regaining her composure and preparing to deal with a noname who is still frozen in place by her rage realizing everything would be meaningless if he were Paralyzed by fear he decides to fight to the end he activates sword

skill Blaze Thunder acid Sprint and slice all at the same time lunging towards the amused Duke before she blocks the attack and rips no name's sword and armor apart with a single punch she then recommends that no name focuses on a single skill next time noting that he is trash since he is only a skeleton and no name recalling his past vows to return before smashing his own head in and dying once again after Darkness descends he wakes up in his grave in the middle of the forest with rubia standing above him as noname tries

to understand why he returned to the forest a blue window informs him of the successful reincarnation stating that the necromancer's lover perk is active and his assimilation rate has dropped below 75% releasing his first seal and canceling the transfer process disregarding the windows he focuses on the nervous Ruby seeing this as a chance to prevent her death and a blue window confirms a servant relation has developed between them and ruia's stats have increased compared to the previous life noting nothing like this has ever happened with Reena before another window then informs him that changes to

the world line have been applied no name Ponders on the meaning of this and the possibility that his previous lives are changing the world from the start Point wondering what will happen to Reena and mistress succubus he is pulled out of his thoughts by ruia coughing and decides to focus on on her lighting a blaze with his hand and noticing his circuits have been passed down to this life choosing to avoid using too much magic in order to avoid encountering person's followers he then sees the mercenaries approaching and uses his non-magic skills to easily dispatch

them shocking rubia and causing him to quickly level up he decides to invest his points on stats that are over 80 and noting that the transference process was cancelled wonders if he could become something other than just a skeleton Soldier and whether the seal that was broken was put to keep keep him in his current form suddenly he has a headache and starts feeling some malays as his assimilation rate drops to 72.7% believing he must think of something but not knowing what leaving this for later he approaches ruia again and reassures her that she was

indeed who summoned him prompting the girl to suggest offering her soul since he is too powerful surprised he asks her what she could want so much as to offer her soul and she states her desire to recover arist a blue window informs him that the Ruby Ray scenario has opened its objective being making her the lady of arist and raising her level of governance to 10 ruia explains to No Name that her uncle is a terrible man and that she fears for the safety of those who helped her escape and for the people of arist

wanting to save them no name reckons this change is due to her witnessing his power and thinks that retaking arist will be easy but fears this might attract the ghosts and the Wrath of the Imperial Palace deciding to make up for his past failings noname chooses to help ruia and tells her to walk to arist as he will remove all of the obstacles before her later as ruia approaches the gate noname uses the camouflage skill he got from Ry impressing the girl and earning him the title of invisible due to being her servant promising to

have her back while concealed the pair Advanced to the gate the City Guards wake up as Rubi approaches begging her to run away and wishing to protect her no name uses the fear skill causing the men to cower and fall to the ground as ruia enters the city the town people recognize her and fear for her safety as her Uncle Kirk Ray approaches surrounded by his guards and informs her that they are about to execute those who helped her Escape she recognizes two of them as the chief minister elar and secretary morale and laments that

it's all her fault when her uncle taunts her ruia bursts in Rage at the man and his actions and the way he betrayed her father unmoved Lord Ray orders his guards forward but they are easily dispatched as noname lunges High Velocity rocks at them leaving the Lord standing alone in horror no name then levels up and is informed by a blue window about ruia's approval of his performance while another window informs him that he has acquired the never-ending thrill skill raising his stats while next to his master trembling Lord Ray promises ruia that she will

pay for this but the girl angrily retorts that he already tried everything he could coldly staring down at him soldiers head to the square determined to protect ruia and stumble upon the scene unfolding there in confusion Lord Ray orders the men to AR ruia but the girl recognizing them as her father's guards wishes to resolve this peacefully a blue window informs noname that ruia wants his advice and a Communication channel has been opened and the surprised skeleton advises ruia to ask the guards whose side they are on she turns to the soldiers and asks them

to join her to recover the old arist causing them to fall on their knees and swear allegiance to her Lord Ray is enraged but as he tries to command them the soldiers Point their weapons at him and express their hatred toward him before dragging him away chief minister elar then approaches ruia and asks if she has become a magician and after she promises to explain everything after cleaning up he calls a meeting of the ministers to welcome the new Lord of arist as Ruby approaches the council chamber noname reassures her through their Communications Channel and

advises her to ask the ministers who they would rather have as Lord if not her ruia follows this advice and elar confirms that there were no objections but points out that the previous Lord was murdered for opposing the Royal Family Don name then advises her to state that she has no intention of going against the royal family which she transmits to the ministers reassured they move on to the items of the meeting and the minister report on the situation of the land they reveal that the number of guards has been increased through conscripting young Farmers

reducing crop yields and that Lord Ray sold the materials needed for flood control in order to use the funds for entertainment no name wonders if Kirk Ray planned on destroying arist through mismanagement and notes that rubia is different as she quickly begins to reverse her uncle's policies and showing true Talent at leadership marveled all of the ministers swear allegiance to rubia and as she promises to become a good leader to her people a blue window informs noname that the governance mechanic has activated noname plans on helping ruia be a good ruler taking care of all

the dirty work without her knowing and goes down to the dungeons to talk to Kirk Ray believing the Lord might know something about the Imperial house he can use to avoid rubius suffering the same fate as Chandler the Lord is yelling he did want to rule and demands to be released before he is struck by a magical projectile thrown by a group of ghosts that have just entered the room noname struggles to deduce the reason the ghosts have shown up at arist as he readies to fight he concludes that they are more powerful than the

ghosts at grassme and they're not only there to eliminate Kirk Ray their leader is surprised by no name's lack of surprise at meeting them and is surprised to find out that the order given by the Imperial Secret Service was true understanding now why director candidates have have to work in the countryside before promotions the skeleton is confused by their remarks and as he decides to gather more information he is forced to dodge an attack aimed at him dodging more attacks he uses absorption and a lightning strike to electrocute a ghost wondering if they have any

weaknesses he recalls Their Fear of the Duke and decides to Bluff stating that he is on a mission on her behalf and they will face consequences for interfering the ghost's leader laughs maniacally removing his mask and demanding to know who he is he confirms that they are the Dukes direct underlings and he doesn't get along well with her and is annoyed at being reminded of her he grabs the noname by the neck with his chain and the skeleton tries and fails to electrocute him without any other choice noname then proposes a Q&A to the assassins

in order to trade information the Assassin leader distrusts the skeleton so the ladder decides to go first and reveals his knowledge about the impending assassination attempt on the emperor catching the leader's undivided attention and causing him to stand his men down and to listen more No Name continues to reveal details of the assassination including the fact that the emperor is fake and Gil da is the killer which prompts the Assassin to wonder how the information leaked and his fear that vaen or the second swordsman would have been taken over by the enemy the leader then

reveals that he is feeling quite good and asks no name for his question the skeleton asks how someone as strong as he is is in the countryside to which he answers that he was ordered from higher up since director candidates must work for one year in arist and clean up any suspicious things no no questions asked he then prepares to dispatch noname stating that he will use ruia as a puppet before one of his underlings suggests that she might be replaced by the worms realizing the danger noname attempts to free himself and get out but

it's in vain the manager of the ghosts raises his Spear and finishes him off as a noname wakes up in the forest once again he Ponders on the decisions he made concluding he died in vain and a blue window informs him that ruia's necromancy proficiency will increase as he has died for her multiple times he then addresses ruia and tells her to move to a nearby cave using stealth to erase their tracks as they evade The Mercenaries in order to avoid the attention of the ghosts he knows the Assassins won't let rubia be and will

replace her with a worm when the opportunity arises and since he can't protect her at present the best course of action will be to stay away from arist as no name likes a fire with magic in the cave Rubio wonders if it was really her that summoned him after reassuring her the skeleton wonders if he should present her to GS but he discards the idea as he doesn't know how she might treat ruia being aware of the possibility of her turning the girl into a living corpse for her Amusement determined to keep ruia safe he

then thinks of contacting troen and the T andt faction that follows her but believes it might be even worse given The Strife within the guild he then decides for Grassmere choosing to warn Chandler beforehand and deal with Isaac again using the reward to further Ruby's cause before heading to Grassmere he decides to head to yam in order to acquire some armor ruia enters yam and asks its black blacksmith for some armor heading inside to purchase it while being watched by the inkeeper she purchases no name's armor and the blacksmith hands her a dagger for protection

fearful of what these City Guards might do to her if she stays for long the guards show up before she can leave but before they can do anything noname stealthily knocks them out and as the blacksmith is busy hiding the unconscious men noname stealthily enters the Smithy and he grabs the grass's flame flamethrower needing a place to put on the armor ruia heads to the Inn but the in keeper is sh shocked at seeing her wandering free after sending the guards at her he quickly guides her to a room with some food already on the

table and as he closes the door leaving ruia alone noname drops the stealth and appears before the girl he then Dawns the armor and tells her to rest to which she agrees before starting to eat the food a few bites later she begins to feel sleepy and quickly collapses with no name being unable to wake her up downstairs the inkeeper concludes that she must be asleep by now and guides two men upstairs in order to have some fun before turning her over to the nekron society noname checks Ruby's vitals and confirms that she is sleeping

concluding that the food must have been drugged and berating himself for underestimating the inkeeper he suddenly hears men trying to pry the door open and as the inkeeper reaches for the handle noname kicks the door wide open and bursts into the hallway wielding the grass mir's flame flamethrower while ruia remains safe in her bed noname tortures two of the men before turning to the inkeeper he thinks on the irony of the man now being the one who's hunted and using his fierce skill tells him to show him where they were going to take ruia inside

the basement of the Inn noname finds multiple torture devices and recalling ruia's previous death and using his fear skill hands the inkeeper a piece of paper and tells him to write down all of the crimes he has committed the man quickly fulfills the command and no name realizes there must be more than a 100 cases as the man finishes the skeleton tells him to finish off the letter as a suicide note and then proceeds to strangle him and hang him from the ceiling promising a painful death a blue window informs no that he has obtained

information on the nekron society and has been awarded interrogation level one which he believes might come in handy as he departs the basement he thinks on clearing the spider's Den dungeon and leaves the flamethrower behind later at the spider's Den dungeon he easily overpowers the guard's Captain who reveals no new information but admits that he hid some safes near the cave entrance no name then throws the vial of spider egg yoke at the man prompting the Spider Queen to tear him apart as this event transpires a blue window informs the skeleton that he has obtained

punish M increasing the chance of receiving a blessing from the tree deities from killing someone with Karma below zero he thinks of the absurdity of the karma ratings and considers the blessings of the goddesses absurd since they failed to save Mankind from the demon Kings the next morning Ruby awakes at the in to see no name standing beside her and the skeleton tells her nothing happened while she rested while piles of gold bars sit on the table no name holds a merchant Union Guild card in his hand and recalls how he obtained it and the

gold bars at the spider's Den remembering Jana UB and wondering if he should meet him in Grassmere while asking himself what's taking ruia so long inside the tailor shop in a flashback it is revealed that no name decided to gift ruia new clothes as a thank you for purchasing the armor as time passes no name wonders what might be taking her so long noting that he is watching the clerks with detection in case anything happens but hasn't felt anything suspicious as he's about to barge in ruia exits the store with her new outfit and while

no name initially wonders why she took so long he quickly Praises her at the prospect of having to wait longer the girl thanks him for the gift as he wonders how she endured so long picking clothes with such low stamina later as the pair heads for grassme they run into the pup trapped in the bear trap with a No Name freeing him in order to repay the debt he has with the animal sending him on his way before ruia asks if they had met before that night as they rest in the Mountain Lodge No Name

reads the book by Kevin Ashton with ruia recognizing the author as the man who wrote another book which she had read in arist he tells her of his goal to read all of his books prompting ruia to admit that she shares this goal and to reveal that Ashton often changes pen names this causes noname to recall that slime said something similar and to wonder if his intelligence will rise if he reads the books written under other pen names no name then offers ruia to read the book together which the girl gladly accepts the skeleton quickly

realizes the girl can read Eastern languages Having learned it for fun and they both noticed the number 1 out of seven that wasn't there in previous lives when asked if anything comes to mind related to the number 7 rubius States several possible interpretations causing no to conclude that he still can't figure out Ashton's riddle before finishing the book and raising his intelligence the next day the pair enters a Tavern in Grassmere looking for Jan UB causing three men to approach menacingly noname and ruia meet Jana UB in a library and the man welcomes them as

guests for sparing and forgiving his three subordinates before stating his purpose for searching for UB noname decides to use his sword skill in order to prove that he might be of value to the merchant both ruia and UB are impressed and the skeleton then decides to request that the guild protect the girl for some days offering a gold bar as payment UB refuses the gold unwilling to accept payment from someone with such amazing swordsmanship skills and states that he will protect ruia for free before handing the per a merchant Union Guild card which rubia instantly

recognizes the merchant then recognizes ruia as the heir to aist recalling that his father bought many books from them for her and offers his condolences before reassuring her stating that no name will keep her safe sometime later no name reaches the gates of grass amir's castle and introduces himself as the lion of malfus who arrived to save their Lord Chandler's father meets with the skeleton inside of the castle wondering if he can really help them and noname decides to just get to the point and tells him all of the information he gathered in his past

life regarding Isaac and the curse of the Chandler family convincing the Aging Lord and causing a blue window to inform that he has caused a forced Quest activation before requesting weapons from the Hall of the ancestors and blood to open the tomb barrier in the basement No Name unseals the tomb and enters the chambers wondering if something will change since he is alone this time the Golems don't react and the skeleton is able to reach the center of the Tomb and torch the altar causing Isaac's Spirit to emerge and try to possess him again the

sorcerer grows immediately suspicious of no name's calm attitude and is shocked to find his secret circuits and seals engraved in his bones seeing this he promises to cooperate and suggests that they should get as close as possible noname is confused by The Sorcerer's attitude but is soon alerted by Blue Windows of Isaac's intention to possess him and his efforts to resist him including the fact that he has already overcome this possession before Isaac is shocked and confused at his failure to possess the skeleton and while he apologizes to noname for trying to trick him noname

doesn't fall for it instead noname uses a flame spell and causes the door behind the altar to open shocking the sorcerer even more as they head for the sealed gate and the skeleton demands that he open it Isaac states that he can't break the gate's barrier until he has recovered at least 30% more of his original strength and that he would need 70% of his strength to break the door without any steps recalling the Duke no name wonders how powerful the sorcerer actually is and asks him what will come out of the gate Isaac tells

him that it is a passage to the world of demons and even though summoning demon Kings requires massive sacrifices it is still possible to summon low-class demons and with a beginner sacrifice even foreign demons such as Behemoth Dagon and Malcolm he then goes on to state that he can't open the gate in his current form and asks for help to regain his strength but no name is suspicious of Isaac's attitude and decides to show little interest in the gate for now back at the castle Lord Chandler's extreme gratitude causes noname to ask Isaac why he

tormented Chandler's family to which he replies by listing his titles and stating that they should consider it in honor if he allowed them to be connected to noname the skeleton then asks if it wouldn't be more meaningful to the high priest if he had followers causing Isaac to adopt a human form as he reads his mind and finds out the fate of Joshua and his other followers enraged Isaac grows more powerful and manages to possess no name using Sprint and heading to the in where Rubio was Lo located the skeleton is shocked by this and

Isaac noticing his reaction decides to threaten him with her safety unaware of what's Happening ruia hands the noname a book by Kevin Ashton that Jan UB acquired for her recognizing the author Isaac asks the skeleton his connection to Kevin Ashton and having no other choice noname decides to use this opportunity to gather information he tells the sorcerer that his intelligence level rises when he reads Ashton's books and sensing that Isaac doesn't understand him then explains that a blue window informs him that his intelligence level has risen by one Isaac then asks noname if he sees

everything through a blue window and then laughs hysterically when he realizes noname recognizes the pole in the universe and every unexplainable thing about the skeleton and his skills suddenly makes sense he goes on to State his theory that this world is just one barrier out of many others Isaac explains to noname that he has always suspected that the world was a living trap becoming crazier the more conscious he became about it he believed that there was someone watching down on them and needed to find out the truth but was unable to find a clue or

form a proper Theory to explain it until he found out about Kevin Ashton the author was proposing an elaborate Theory and suggesting detailed evidence to support it when Isaac tells noname that this happened 400 years ago the skeleton immediately recalls the recent newspaper written by Kevin Ashton making him wonder if the author has been alive all these centuries Isaac goes on to state that Ashton believed that the world was made of residents and guests and guests were given a special blue window noname then realizes that Isaac can't see anything related to the window and as

the sorcerer asks when he began to think this was normal the skeleton recalls that mistress succubus explained the blue window to him in detail wondering how she knew about it and why she lied about the window being normal noname had never doubted succubus since she took care of him for years and protected him while teaching him about the world he never found a reason for her kindness believing there was nothing special about himself which causes Isaac to deride him and ask how long he was fooled remembering his mistress fondly noname retorts that it doesn't matter

if she told lies and tells Isaac to stop insulting her telling himself that the time he spent with her and the happiness he felt weren't lies Isaac grows frustrated with this attitude and decides to stop talking about the subject and help noname he tells the skeleton that in order to reach the top he needs a vehicle and explains that he had formed a deep bond with the Demon King in order to reach the very top he then states that he plans to acquire the power that Kevin Ashton laid out by using no name as a

compass and in order to do this he will lead him allowing him to obtain unimaginable Powers no name Ponders on this concluding that he will get closer to the truth by working with Isaac despite the fact that there is probably a lot more to this than what the sorcerer is telling him annoyed at being ignored Isaac states that no name should feel honored by his offer and as the skeleton continues to doubt him he decides to make a prepayment by leaving the skeleton's body and transferring himself to his great sword no name then decides to

agree to Isaac's offer on the condition that he guarantee Ruby a safety and once they're in agreement Isaac tells him of some things he needs to acquire starting at the temple no name explains to ruia that Isaac's soul is contained in the Great Sword and the girl fascinated by this attempts to touch it and Marvels at it by shaking it which annoys Isaac he then connects his mind to ruia's and repeats his titles but the girl decides to ask him a question pointing out that besides being a great sorcerer he was also an excellent tactician

and his textbooks were still being used today and wondering why someone as powerful as himself was trapped in the underground suggesting that he might have been forced to seek Refuge from something Isaac suddenly grows quiet and tells noname to distract her and states that he will bring something good from the temple noname leaves an excited ruia to pick anything she wants from grassme special weapons and is later Guided by Isaac to a crate containing a cannon following Isaac's instructions the skeleton activates the weapon and the Sorcerer explains that it is a Titan only sniper made

to take out the gigantic machines that the members of the Union pilot Ed long ago Isaac then tells noname that they must head to another location in order to get more R room for the weapon and that they must find a more suitable vessel for his soul he instructs the skeleton to insert the sword into a hole in the wall and turn it revealing a hidden chamber containing a crow doll and tells him to use Magic on it as he uses flame on the doll Isaac's Soul possesses it and causes it to turn into a

far larger bird before exhausting its rro reserve and turning small again ruia then enters the room marveled at the crow doll and reveals that she picked a necklace from the Armory Isaac tells her that the necklace is Enchanted and can lightly erase her presence and the girl asks no name to put it on her no name complies while lamenting it can't hide her from ghosts and realizing he cannot keep Ruby and grassme tells her that he has to go on a trip and offers her to go with him to which she wholeheartedly agrees as the

group rides a carriage in annoyed Isaac asks ruia why she keeps staring at him to which she replies that she is worried about his soul since the more it is moved the more the maximum value decreases and Isaac has already moved it three three times Isaac is annoyed at this and decides to fly away for a while while noname concludes that even he can't escape that law which means that he won't have to worry about being possessed again noname is unable to read the book ruia gave him since it is written in an unknown language

and is surprised when the girl starts reading with ease and informs him it is written in run language she explains that she learned The Language by reading the ancient books in arists library for fun and that she only told her father of this skill since Rune language is illegal and only allowed for wizards Marvel at her Talent noname asks her for help reading the book to which she agrees as he reads the book a blue window informs noname that his assimilation rate has fallen to 72.4% and despite his headache he urges her to continue she

then reads about the iron Titans and the possibility of making a cooperation Phenomenon with them in order for the machines to lend their power Isaac arrives and overhears this explaining to them that the Titan connection is the Soul's wavelength and that Titans can reject their Riders if their wavelengths don't matter match or accept anyone even if they don't have any training but it rarely occurs as the No Name closes the book a blue window informs him that thanks to the servant system his intelligence has risen by three and he has earned magic engineering level zero

causing the skeleton to praise the system as they reach their destination No Name dismisses the carriage driver and the group approaches Isaac's Temple once inside Isaac is shocked at seeing the fate of his followers which causes ruia to feel sorry and prompts her to pet him and offer comforting words following Isaac's instruction C No Name retrieves the box of R room vials from the wall and is shocked to find out that they're all empty Isaac flies around in despair after finding out the bottles are empty and no name wonders what happened to the r room

in this life Isaac explains that the Box's seal was unbroken and that the apostles blood doesn't change permeate or evaporate hearing this noname wonders if the rur room in his veins could last forever and recalls it drying up as he fought the ghosts and overused his magic Isaac explains that the liquid only diminishes when it is used as a material for World trans formation and the skeleton recalls that his circuits are maintained after reincarnation and wonders what happened to the ru room he gave to the TNT Guild Isaac then tells them that the greatest concentration

of rum is in the Imperial Palace since it is the foundation of the Imperial family's power he explained that the first emperor murdered the apostles and extracted their blood but it is well guarded and would take five lives to steal no name sees this as a future opportunity to change the location of the Apostles blood in Imperial hands in order to protect rubia but he knows he must becomes stronger before he can do it when asked about possible locations for rum Isaac suggests they might find it at the remains of Kevin Ashton and suggests that

noname might find something from the blue window ruia looks surprised at the mention of the window and as noname starts to explain what it is the girl suddenly exclaims that she had never seen anyone other than herself who could see the window shocking both the skeleton and the Sorcerer Ruby then remembers explaining the things she saw in the window to her father and him being unable to see it himself and his advice to keep it as Secret in order to avoid being ostracized back in the present ruia is relieved at not being the only one

seeing the window and Isaac is astonished at having met two of the window users after centuries of watching the human world through the Chandler family he then states he might be able to see the hole in the universe staying with them and looks forward to it as the group reaches a waterfall Isaac explains that they will see the runes once they go down the cliff as ruia wonders how they will manage to get down no name grabs her and jumps down the cliff causing the girl to scream until they land Isaac warns them to not

relax since it smells like blood and soon they see Kevin Ashton's ruins surrounded by the corpses of dark elves the sorcerer then explains that the ruines are a shrine to laazer the devil who hunts birds and is worshiped by the dark elves noname then notes that laazer is an enemy of malfus and starts to doubt that there might be rum in there Isaac insists that there is and flies towards a drop of the substance dripping from the ceiling growing in size as he consumes it meanwhile the corpses in the shrine begin to stir as the

undead Dark Elves approach noname asks Isaac if he tricked them again which he denies warning them that there must be a body controlling the undead creatures noname activates swordsmanship and begins hacking at the elves recalling his fight with the undead Chandler he uses absorption to protect ruia from incoming projectiles and tells Isaac to take the girl to safety prompting the crow to leave her sitting in a column away from the fight noname then uses Sprint SL absorption acid and Blaze to quickly deal with the undead elves leveling up in the process before being attacked by

one final elf Isaac warns him that the elf is wearing a pendant that marks him as the best warrior among lazer's followers and will be tough to defeat the elf sends the skeleton flying across the hall and pins him to the ground but as ruia shows concern a blue window informs him that the servant system has increased his power by 15% feeling the burden of the attack diminish noname uses absorption and swordsmanship to push back and defeat the dark elf with a blue window informing him that his absorption has risen to level six he then

absorbs the essence of the deceased elf acquiring its skills while Isaac warns him that the body controlling the corpses remains watching they scan the room until they notice a childlike figure hiding behind a fountain which calls them nothing before approaching Isaac identifies it as a fragment of Apostles recalling that he hunted them when he ruled the southern part of the Empire but warning that it might be too powerful for the skeleton the creature gradually grows in size and develops a tail for stating that he will be enough to handle noname noname Dodges an attack from

the fragment of Apostles and delivers a devastating strike using Sprint blade energy and acid but only manages to scratch it noname then notices that the creature bleeds Ru room and is Swept Away by its tail as the fragment approaches it calls the skeleton weak and tells him to make him bleed more before delivering another blow no name then uses absorption and slashes at the creature's neck managing to Nick it seeing the wound the fragment grows even larger and reptilian and a blue window informs noname that the assimilation rate has dropped to 70.9% and that the

output code has been recognized noname then prepares to fight calling the creature weak in a strange tone before striking again while thinking that every time he sees it he is slowly being released the skeleton then strikes causing the monster to bleed and positioning himself at top its head to deliver the killing blow commenting that it's just a fragment before hacking at the monster with enormous Force the creature falls to the ground bleeding from multiple wounds and repeating his will to live prompting noname to order Isaac to stop it from running away as the sorcerer pins

the creature's head down no name finishes it off and as Isaac asks the skeleton how he managed such a feat he replies that he did what he remembered suddenly a red window pops up warning that he must freeze the assimilation rate as well as fix this slave to the world and delete a shroud of memory and upon seeing this no name collapses to the ground ruia holds holds a dagger and wonders if no name will wake up from what they're about to do as Isaac urges her to start and be precise the girl plunges the

dagger and sometime later the skeleton wakes up screaming and Confused causing ruia and Isaac to ask about his well-being noname can't understand why he passed out comparing it to a shock from something that was suppressing him in his mind Isaac then tells him that waking him up was costly since the sorcerer had to enlarge the skeleton circuits using the fragments R room with ruia assisting in the carving and Isaac casting an Inc ation so the apostles blood could be absorbed and he could recover faster after he's finished gloating the sorcerer invites noname to try out

his improved circuits using blade energy and combining it with multiple skills causing the skeleton to notice that there is no burden from using so much magic the skeleton then asks why Isaac would help him and accuses him of plotting something to which the sorcerer rorts that he was impressed by the fight with the fragment and decided that he was worth the investment of using all the apostles blood on him Isaac then asks how he managed to defeat the monster to which he replies that it was like being possessed by something and it felt unrealistic no

name decides to absorb the creature's silver Essence acquiring the skill to change jobs making it possible to change class from skeleton Soldier to skeleton swordsman knight or Hunter the skeleton then recalls the web Slinger Ruby he obtained in a previous life and its use for class change and decides to investigate the three possible classes noting that neither State the Privileges or penalties of changing into them before he can choose any Class A window informs noname that there is a lack of R room prompting him to ask Isaac about other possible sources of the substance the

sorcerer cries out upon listening to this request and as the skeleton starts to think he might be useless ruia steps in and suggests they go to Doak to acquire information she states that she read in a book that Lamplight Doak is a temporary peace zone between the intelligence agency and the Assassins where information can be found as Isaac notes that not everyone can enter the place and they will be chased away ruia points that in the past 300 years they built a general stay area so they decide to head there before departing no name notices

a flute feeling something pulling him towards it while Isaac laments that Ashton wrote so much about the ruins but didn't hide a single treasure there the group then departs to Doak as they reach Doak no name contemplates using masquerade brushing it off due to the possible consequences of using vaan's face there before being ushered through the checkpoint undetected Isaac then proudly states he used an illusion on the guards and no name decides to stay on guard around him the sorcerer then tells the skeleton to stay focused pointing out that there is a barrier in the

area that makes people complacent Isaac states that it only makes people behave and that they should be immune as long as he's around ruia finds it funny that the barrier was meant to avoid confrontations but powerful people like Isaac can just force their way through with no problem no name thinks in agreement noting that only the weak are affected by the barrier and become obedient and that he must find out how to become stronger as the group enters a square they notice everyone is staring at noname who is puzzled as to the reason for the

attention they head towards a tent to get information and as a man informs them that only one may enter at a time noname enters alone inside a figure behind a curtain asks if he's there to buy information and as noname asks for the location of Mor Ru room the figure informs him that all information will be put on auction and sold to the highest bidder no name decides to discuss this with Isaac and gives the figure a bag of money and before departing he asks the figure if they have any information on Kevin Ashton which

it denies before telling the skeleton to leave finding the refusal strange no name decides to obtain more information but the figure tells him to let it go and warns him that there's a wanted order on him considering that as a free bonus of information no name is confused at this since he hadn't run into person's followers nor the Imperial Palace in this life and as he departs the tent a set of magical chains WRA around his body while a figure puts a bag over his head no name awakes to find himself restrained in a room

while guard Ed by masked figures who ask him if he's from the rich family which excels at illusion magic which the skeleton finds strange he believes the figures look strangely familiar and as they discuss the door opens to reveal Reena entering the room coldly Reena grabs No Name by the throat as he utters her name demanding to know how he knows her a blue window informs noname that the scenario has already been finished and a clear correction is being reflected and upon scanning Reena the skeleton is able to see her vastly increased stat and her

status as TNT's third general manager no name realizes this is what the window meant regarding the changes to the world line and wonders what kind of Life Reena lived Reena confirms to the hooded figures that this was the one they were looking for especially given the profits exact date and time seeing their friendly attitude towards Reena noname identifies them as troen and shunian and he wonders what he did that caus them to search for him and treat him like a lich Reena is unable to answer why she thinks she knows the skeleton's identity and asks

for the two figures to leave them alone reassuring them that she will be okay since the skeleton is restrained before ushering them out the girl then turns seriously towards noname and asks if he will stay silent till the end but he remains unsure as to why he was kidnapped Reena then pulls out a dagger and asks how he knows her and noname realizes that she is no longer the Reena that he used to know and wonders how he should treat her he asks if knowing her name is that much of a problem and states he

doesn't know what she wants from him Furious she demands to know what he wants of her and why he keeps showing up in her dreams no name recalls that Reena once told him something similar and notes how the world line has been changed but the memories of their past lives might be inherited in the shape of a faint dream the skeleton then wonders if everything will disappear if the world keeps changing and he keeps dying and deciding not to influence her anymore in this life pretends he doesn't know he tells her that they got the

wrong person since he's an outsider in regards to Magic and can't appear in people's dreams knowing about Reena because of her her Fame within the guild Reena then asks him to identify her companions which he promptly does causing them to barge into the room and reveal they were eavesdropping troen then takes off her mask considering it useless and shunian considers the need to boost Guild security the founder suggests that they take out noname but Reena plans on obtaining some more information so noname asks to be untied suggesting the girl to trust him due to her

dream after some hesitation Reena decides to untie no name but the latter is wary at this change in Attitude despite her companions please Reena insists that they let him go smiling it off and stating that she wouldn't lie to them no name is Unbound and released with his weapons and wonders what Reena is thinking later at an in Isaac criticizes him for being late and rubius States they were worried since he hadn't returned in a while he decides to lie about being kidnapped to avoid worrying the girl simply recounting his failure to acquire information on

Ashton and the need to go to an auction Isaac suggests they find out how much money the other bids have and the the reason they desire the r room and together with rubia plans to use a white rainbow which shines whenever the substance is concentrated to lure them in much to no name's confusion Isaac derides the skeleton for his lack of intelligence but ruia explains the plan to him and states that she will be the one to spread the rumor and lure the competitors since she can easily blend in with the humans ruia then enters

a shop and Praises a wreath hanging from the door and the store owner that made it expressing her desire to buy more products as the store owner is distracted no and Isaac discuss how easy the plan seems and the skeleton fears that ruia might be in danger the sorcerer then jokes about running into the four Great Imperial Swordsmen much to the skeletons une ease but later remarks that they won't come just for a girl being busy fixing far worse problems meanwhile ruia starts spreading the rumor of seeing a white rainbow completely fooling the store owner

and earning no name's praise while Isaac reveals that he also used a spell to smooth things over ruia then spreads the rumor of the white rainbow at different locations throughout the day and come Nightfall they decide to catch a breath and wait for the competitors to arrive ruia then notices a lone kid in the street and offers him a loaf of bread but as the boy is about to accept it Reno warns her from the rooftops that compassion without understanding provides no help at all as no name wonders what the thief is doing there Isaac

concludes that she must be the competitor searching for the ru room Reena explains to ruia that older kids will take the food from this kid and seeing that people pity him will send him out begging on far worse circumstances ruia retorts that those are excuses people make to avoid giving their own money and states that she doesn't know anything about the boy the kid promptly Rises and hugs Reena who thanks him for calling them and tells him that he deserves ruia's bread as a reward for tricking her ruia Just Smiles it off and hands him

the bread glad that he has a job Reena then comments on whether it's a coincidence or a curse that she meets noname again like this as noname thinks on how much sense it makes that Reena is after the ru room the girl tells him that there is no need for them to spread rumors since they are going to win the auction leaving everyone dumbfounded as she exits the area sprinting over the rooftops Rubio wonders what kind of person Reena is while Isaac is pleased that the bait worked and while they Wonder on the meaning of

reena's words the sorcerer states that there's an obvious reason for her actions but for now they must go to the auction house and change their price no name emerges from the auction tent having bought the information despite dropping the price to one Salin I then purchas himself on no name's head and manifests magical chains attached to a metal Spike that the sorcerer identifies as a magical tracking device planted on him earlier by someone trying to find the r room realizing Reena had planted it no name tells the sorcerer that he should have told him sooner

if he had detected it but Isaac states that if he had he would have begun to act suspicious and got caught immediately which ruia confirms while revealing that she also knew Isaac then reveals that he bought some horses while noname was getting the Intel and detaches the tracking device to one of them to lose their pursuers the Intel reveals that their target is the Temple of yera which lies Across the Western desert as they travel through the Sands Isaac explains to ruia that there is a story about how the region became a desert he tells

her that the place used to be the most advanced and prosperous place on the continent but yera forced them into Penance burning everything to the ground with the power of sunlight no name then notices a caravan approaching them among the dunes ruia talks to the Caravan leader and after stating that they are heading to the temple of yera they decide to travel together and the merchant offers to show her his products no name is suspicious of the Caravan but Isaac bluntly states that even if they prove false they're not a threat to him and they

should use their knowledge of the area to their advantage the skeleton agrees to go but inwardly expresses his concern about the presence following them as Reena watches them from afar the merchants ask no name which house he belongs to and later comments on how lucky the group is to have run into them since they are the only ones who know the fastest way to the city offering them some water in in the process no name notices that they're suspicious and wonders if he should act now but before he can unath his sword a man standing

at top of dun demands they pay a toll to pass their territory Isaac identifies them as Bandits and as Horsemen soon begin charging at the Caravan no name recalls that this area was marked in the map he received deciding to wait and see what it meant a muscular man then demands payment from the Caravan leader to which he meekly complies by giving him the usual fee the Bandit insists that he pay more for the extra people but the Caravan leader insists that they're not with him and can easily disappear even suggesting that they can keep

ruia the man agrees to this offer and insists that he takes no name as a plus one causing Isaac to burst into laughter at his low value and then offers ruia to treat her well if she follows them without resistance ruia is distressed at the offer and noname grabs his great sword as an amused Isaac yells for a fight before he can start fighting a blade flies through the air and decapitates several men being expertly caught by a a figure standing amidst the dust clouds Reena then charges into the bandits cutting a path of Carnage

as she rides onwards Isaac is shocked at this certain that he got rid of the tracking device while no name realizes why the presence felt so familiar Reena then suggests that they talk after killing the bandits and as the Men start their attack noname un sheaths his sword and easily Cuts them down the skeleton and Reena makes short work of the bandits and upon seeing this their terrified leader tells the Caravan leader to call the G Reena sees the man pull a horn from his robes and clearly shocked yells at no name to stop him

but it's too late as the man blows the horn the sand around the Caravan begins to shift as a massive sandworm shifts underneath before emerging ruia yells in fear while Isaac looks unsurprised and Reena stares in horror a blue window informs noname that they have met the god of the desert special field boss made of the ashes of the ancient people burned by yam's power seeing the creature rise the Bandit leader cries out in Triumph but his resolve quickly turns to despair when the monster begins attacking his remaining men without distinction he frantically yells at

the Caravan leader to control the worm screaming that they will all die if they just leave it as it is just before the monster lunges forward and devour them having consumed both men the worm rises in the air and disappears into the Sands once again no name asks if the monster is gone but Reena remains Grim merely stating that it is still crawling somewhere beneath noname feels the vibrations from the worm burrowing Underneath Him and uses detection concentration and Trace to pinpoint its location and since the creature has a lower hiding level than his detection

he succeeds using Sprint he dashes to a specific location and Strikes at the sand wounding the worm while Reena and Ruby appraise his skills Isaac simply points out that the worm is still alive and well the monster attempts to swallow the skeleton but he manages to keep its ma open with his great sword as he holds on for dear life seeing this Rubio joins the fry throwing a hook at the creature's mouth and yanking it open released no name uses sword skills acid and lightning to deliver a killing blow and the servant system raises his

skill proficiency by 30% using Dash and sword skill the skeleton carves up the worm in one Fell Swoop and a blue window confirms the kill as everyone present looks in awe and disbelief at what just happened a blue window informs a no name that he has earned 1,936 Merit points raising his store permissions to normal and warning that he cannot be protected as an apprentice any longer recalling his many deaths the skeleton considers that he didn't feel protected before and is curious as to what else has changed a blue window opens showing a percentage-based purchasing

power and unlocking an inventory with increasingly blurry objects that states that his reward will be stronger the later he uses his purchasing power in the store no name then realizes that killing monsters will increase his purchasing power and reaching predetermined Milestones will un unlock new rewards realizing the amount of time it would take to reach higher percentages he considers choosing the lower tier items suddenly the window begins to disappear starting with the last option forcing him to choose quickly pressed for time he chooses 100% and a blue window confirms that he will only access the

store once he reaches that level of purchasing power and that items will be confirmed as anti-world no name wonders what anti-world means and asks himself if he was too ambitious pressing the highest option concluding that there is no use crying over spill milk meanwhile Reena holds the Caravan leader at sword Point while he begs to be spared smiling the girl decides to decide his Fate by having him flip a coin promising to spare him if it lands on the number side she bends the coin with her hands before tossing it to the man making it

impossible for it to land numers side up and chopping his head with sadistic Glee Reena then tells no name to avoid budding in and the skeleton then asks her how she managed to follow them there without the tracking device the girl admits that troen and shunian followed the tracker while reeno went went to warn them of the dangers of the desert road pointing out that considering how he fought there was no need for a warning and that she was worried for ruia's safety Reena then explains that there are multiple dungeons in the west since the

emperor is antagonizing monsters in the region to make them run a mock she goes on to state that the horn the Caravan leader used once belonged to yam's priest Craftsman gracium the gray Cardinal and that he was probably forced to hand the horn over to an inexperienced user in order to give the emperor an excuse to raise an army to deal with the monsters this she explains is a front in order to launch an attack against the freedom Alliance from the West which includes vaen being dispatched to deal with the Basilisk in the Northwest among

other tasks no name thanks her for the information and the girl refuses payment after having scavenged the Caravan complimenting the skeleton for his fight with the worm and stating that she should start trusting her dreams before departing Isaac snaps no name out of it and Reena urges him to go stating that they have a better plan to obtain R room before tossing him a new version of her pendant and telling him to bring to the capital in order to meet again no name notes the changes between this pendant and the original and a blue window

informs him of the new perks as they ride across the desert Isaac warns of the danger posed by the TNT plan whatever it may be and noname asks if he knew troen 300 years ago the sorcer states that the only place they can get large amounts of R room is the Imperial Palace and recommends that they contact troen since she is knowledgeable about the apostles blood Isaac then tells them he can't Infiltrate The Palace without recovering his full strength but that would be difficult since must break the curses placed on him by the three goddesses

those curses were placed due to him using their Temple as a place for entertainment and pleasure and using each goddess's blessings to keep the party going Isaac grows furious at noname for criticizing his actions and as ruia asks if the curses wouldn't cause problems once they reach the temple he simply states that he has his ways but entering will be Troublesome finally the group reaches the outskirts of yis Temple as they approach a hill Isaac tells them that the temple lies behind it as the sorcerer flies above demanding entry the Earth begins to rumble and

a voice presenting itself as wulus states that it must exterminate any impurities the hill is revealed to be a gigantic turtle and a blue window informs no name that it is ranked s minus far stronger than any creature he has faced so far the skeleton demands Isaac do something about the turtle but the sorcerer replies that he must shout that he will play the quiz game if he wants to live running out of time and seeing the turtle preparing to strike no name yells that he will play the quiz game modulus stops the attack it

eyes glowing with happiness at the prospect of playing a quiz game after so long he explains that he has been sealed to yera ever since he lost a quiz to a human but he has become bored since she didn't want to play with him and he has been playing quiz games with visiting humans offering access to the temple if they win and death if they don't the turtle explains that no name will win if he has two correct answers in a row or die if he fails two consecutive questions no name struggles to answer the

first question even though the turtle states that it's the easiest one but as he begins to fear his own demise ruia intercedes and answers correctly wulus is enraged at ruia for breaking the rules and warns of consequences for future misconduct offering the girl to take no name's place instead she accepts with confidence and begins to answer all of the questions posed by the turtle while noname looks on in astonishment wulus becomes extremely happy playing the game with ruia and noname notes how they strangely fit well together tearing up with joy the turtle allows only ruia

to enter the temple and be blessed by yera but the girl asks if he won't allow her friends to enter dismayed by this wulus becomes enraged wulus is visibly upset at ruia for refusing to enter and decides to make the girl enter the temple regardless using his presence to subdue both ruia and noname a blue window informs noname that some resistance is possible and that he can escape seeing this the skeleton grabs ruia and prepares to leave but the turtle unleashes an attack stopping him dead in his tracks before threatening to destroy everything if he

keeps angering him Isaac then unleashes his magic trying to put them on monster to sleep and striking at its stomach succeeding in putting the turtle to sleep and revealing that he was preparing for this while they played the quiz they then noticed the temple besides the upturned turtle and as they enter its corridors they noticed that it contained multiple torture devices Ruby explains that she heard that yam's Believers punish themselves for their sins in front of their goddess and no name suggests that they hurry and take the rum which is probably hidden in the Statue

Isaac stops them warning that the floor will turn to Rubble if they touch the statue instead leading them to where the turtle's tail used to be in order to retrieve the good stuff following the sorcerer's instructions no name removes a boulder and reveals a hidden passage and as they go further inside they stumble into a room filled with treasure Isaac explains that those are Penance fees and that they didn't matter if they take it as long as the fee was paid as well as pointing out that they won't find any R room here since no

one would offer it as Penance Rubio wonders if they Disturbed the turtle only for the jewels and as Isaac answers that people would die for such treasure no name grabs him by the neck and threatens to kill him Isaac invites him to try and states that time is running out since the spell he used on wulus is only temporary and he doesn't know when the turtle will wake up again much to the other's dismay as they exit the tunnel Isaac tells them that the statue of yera is powered by the blood of the Apostles and

as no name is about to destroy the statue the sorcerer flies to its head and begins pecking out its eyes black smoke comes out of the statue as a blue window informs no name of its power and a red window warns that Isaac has been cursed the crowman manages to pry out yam's eyes causing the statue to weep R room and states that he's fine before ordering the skeleton to collect the substance as no name touches the blood a blue window informs him that ruia considers him a mystery and his level of mystery has increased

while Isaac asks him what he sees a blue window informs noname that more R room is needed to change jobs and multiple windows open up showing the Privileges and penalties of choosing to be a swordsman knight or Hunter he P each class and its perks finding the designated protection perk of the night useful to protect ruia but as he chooses that class a red window informs him that he needs more R room to change much to the skeleton's frustration Isaac notices his reaction and asks him what happened and is shocked when no name simply states

that they might have to steal from the Imperial family in the imperial capital troen presides over a TNT meeting concerning the upcoming theft of the Imperial family's R room and as she is briefed on the status of the preparations Reena listens absent-mindedly from afar her dreams are becoming more Vivid each day and she Wonder if giving noname the pendant was the right choice troen notices her absent mindedness and approaches her but Reena brushes it off and joins the meeting as they discuss Personnel assignment for the mission expecting to encounter strong resistance including ghosts and maybe

the Duke Reena suggests that they send a small group of elite Specialists but another guild member points out that they lack enough Elite people for this realizing no name would be perfect for the operation she begins to propose him as a candidate despite tren's misgivings stating that he's probably heading for the capital at the moment indeed as she utters those words the group arrives at the city Gates Isaac casts a spell on the guards at the city Gates allowing the group to enter the capital uninhibited as they walk down the street a kid crosses their

path marveled at Isaac and offers to buy him for four Loy the group is confused at this but the sorcerer notes that the kid is a pure werewolf and even he won't be able to turn him away warning no that he will be defeated if he tries to get rid of him the skeleton considers selling Isaac but decides to Bluff his way out and regretfully declines the kid's offer disappointed the werewolf refuses to be defeated and declares that he wants no name as a present for a girl but ruia Cuts him off for being so

rude causing the kid to nervously back off Isaac notes that the stronger the werewolf the worse they are with women when the werewolf asks if it wouldn't be better for the skeleton to be serving the best Necromancer noname immediately thinks of Gil stai which the kid confirms the skeleton asks the kid if he's also a member of the red flake causing him to transform and prepare to fight to avoid detection while Isaac lambasts no name for his question this the skeleton is confident that he can still avoid violence and states that he's an undercover agent

working for Gil stai as the werewolf cries out in disbelief no name goes on to name the five Duan corpses guarding the Necromancer as well as the Starlight Blue Fox hearing all this the kid instantly transforms back and asks for forgiveness for the misunderstanding begging the skeleton to tell only good things about him Lumin balov to gills handing him for Loy as a bribe before running away Rubio laughs at the situation but Isaac is surprised that no name knows so much about someone so powerful as gilar suspecting that he might be hiding something the skeleton

wonders to himself how long he'll be able to hide his reincarnation Secrets finding it difficult to trust Isaac changing the subject he asks the sorcerer if he knows what the sons of Linder are becoming enraged as Isaac refuses to tell him ruia diffuses the situation simply stating that the sons refer to the mightiest of the dragons and Isaac remarks that there was nothing like that 400 years ago and they must be fiction recalling Gil's parting words no name wonders if she is trying to awaken dragon bones and thinks of asking her whenever they meet as

the skeleton suggests that they find a place to rest Isaac points out that all of the ins in the city require a formal introduction to do business ruia Ponders on what to do knowing the process but unable to use her family name and tells the group to go inside a jewelry store called Garnet Wing Rubio relaxes and enjoys the excellent amenities of the Inn while noname notes to himself that they didn't expect to be staying in such a luxurious Inn for free nor to get another of the merchant Union Guild cards earlier that night the

clerk at the garnet Wing tells ruia to leave stating that they are only serving select customers and their Wares are out of their price range the girl smiles before grabbing Isaac causing him to throw up a large amount of gold and rare Jewels which the sorcerer stole from the Temple of yera in front of the astonished Clerk and stating that they came to take care of a couple of things sometime later Bey Blackberry manager of the store apologizes instead of her staff for their attitude offering ruia tea the girl accepts her apology and agrees to

the terms regarding the sale of the jewels and the manager offers her a big discount under her name as well as free lodging in an inn while she stays in the capital when a surprised ruia asks for the reason she merely replies that she likes to keep people of value around and be able to watch them and that she proved her worth with the jewels she brought she then introduces herself as a member of the merchant Union handing them a guild card outside of the store ruia States her surprise at getting that far while Isaac

comments that she was just lucky lamenting the loss of his jewels suddenly a finely dressed girl approaches them and nervously extends an invitation to her tea party to rubia wanting to be friends after seeing what happened at the jewelry store introducing herself as evot Senna aringay she asks ruia to consider her offer and while the latter tries to excuse herself the girl insists nervously before hurrying away while Isaac jokes to noname about their new acquaintance later at the in noname asks Ruby if she will be attending the Tea Party and as the girl fails to

answer Isaac lambasts no name for not noticing that she doesn't have a dress and offers to buy it for her as the skeleton is about to reassure ruia about her clothes someone knocks on the door and informs the surprised group that the clothes he ordered had arrived sometime later ruia tries on the dress and wholeheartedly thanks a confused noname for buying it the valet hands noname a letter explaining that the clothes were gifted by Bary blackberry and Isaac suggests that he just take credit for the gift the skeleton then recalls Jan UB had a similar

attitude to the jeweler wondering what will happen once he collects five Guild cards Reena then puts the dress away stating that she loved it and it made her feel like she was back to when her father was alive stating that she is now a fugitive and satisfied with the rag she wore no name recalls that ruia didn't live the life she should have in all of his reincarnations and states that she doesn't have to worry about her identity promising to find a way before departing while holding reena's pendant noname enters a Tavern and one of

its employees leads him to the basement to meet with Reena as he descends the stairs he Ponders on how to ask her for a fake ID for ruia but once he enters the room Reena merely states that he came for the job and was a little later than expected addressing the shocked skeleton as Master like in previous lives he asks her if her memories have returned to which she replies that she was only thinking about it but that his reaction confirmed that those dreams really were memories she explains that each time she had them the

dreams became more Vivid and that she felt it wasn't magic since those times relationships and emotions couldn't be done with magic so she decided to accept her past lives she states that she is still the same confident that it wasn't a spell and confirming her suspicions by the fact that no name found the Inn without any directions implying that he had been there before seeing no point in denying any of this the skeleton asks her how she has lived this life she then tells her tragic story stating that she happened to run into tropin while

still a child and was raised by her in the TNT instead of slime with the Headmaster knowing her as someone difficult to deal with in this life as no name thinks on how the timeline has changed Reena suggests that they cut to the Chase and pulls out a blank page pouring a potion over it and revealing it is a tabooed pledge and demanding a vow from the skeleton before telling him anything upon signing the document no name is bound by its magic and Reena begins explaining the plan she tells him that the underground passage beneath

the Inn leads to the Imperial Palace and that they learned that the imperial family plans to use it to transport the rur room in a week they plan to intercept it and have made preparations to deal with the security detail using sleeping gas and EXP explosives to flood the passage and cause the apostles blood to float to the rendevu point she explains that no name's role will be to buy Time by stalling the Convoy and despite doubting his skills for the task the skeleton asks who will transport the cargo Reena reveals that it will be

guarded by beus of insight who can see through the disguise of people he registers in advance as well as the Mage aloh Heath who specializes in Fire magic and the Ghosts no name becomes wary upon learning that the Assassins will be involved since he has never beat them before and is certain to lose if they are as strong as they were an arist he then asks if the girl will be involved but reeno reassures him that the Duke of Lawrence tartier is far away from the capital and none of the four Swordsmen will be in

the Convoy but three will be waiting outside no name is reassured by the presence of T and team members and the early warning provided by reena's pendant and is surprised when the girl pulls out a pair of fake IDs for him and ruia to use while in the capital the skeleton looks at the IDS surprised at not having to ask for them and Reena brushes it off until no name states that ruia can go to the tea party with the documents upon hearing this the girl becomes enraged and demands that he gives the IDS back

stating that he didn't even care about the mission while the confused skeleton tries to explain the misunderstanding back at the in ruia Happily declares that non must be out solving the identity issue but in annoyed Isaac warns her to not expect too much from him a group of noble women chat at the evot family Rose Garden noting how much effort they put into the tea party as a show of power a red-headed girl makes a snarky remark about how the IAT family has fallen on Hard Times to which the others concur before Sena Aron gay

IAT arrives while the girl apologizes for being late and introduces rubia as the count as grittier no name secretly stands guard close by in case something happens he then has a flashback of Isaac refusing to get involved in his business after he signed reena's contract the sorcerer correctly guessed the Guild's plan and expressed his concerns about the plan and the fact that the imperial family would handle the r room so carelessly he decided to tour the capital entrusting him with looking after ruia at the Tea Party Senna arranges the seating order around the table and

orders her servants to bring an extra chair the red-headed Aristocrat takes the chair to the right of senna but the girl bluntly states that that seat is reserved offering it to ruia instead nervous ruia tries to excuse herself but Senate insists suggesting that the redhead named Reed Baron sat there by mistake and beckons her to sit on the simple and battered chair that the servants just brought while no name notes that the atmosphere is not pleasant ruia sits uneasily at the tea table while Senna notes everyone's faces and merrily challenges them to question her Arrangements

the other guests compliment her on her decision while Reed grimly bites her tongue swearing to herself that she will find senna's weakness and make her pay for the insult after some thought ruia quietly tells lady IAT that she will gladly go along with this tense situation on the condition that she promises to give her access to the renowned and vast collection of books of the IAT Family Library this collection amassed throughout the family's long history is said to contain almost every book including several toes of a history encyclopedia written by Kevin Ashton Ruby is enjoying

herself at the Tea Party merily chatting with the other Noble women about dresses while Reed looks in contempt one of the girl asks Rubio what kind of person she likes peing no name's curiosity as ruia stutters Reed presses the issue and suggests that she might be embarrassed by her tastes but the girl steadies herself and answers that she doesn't mind if they're not human since he is someone who protects her shares a connection and makes her world more color ful the other girls take shots at guessing what creature her love interest might be until Reed

coldly suggests that it might be a demon pointing out that it is forbidden before rudely taking her leave of the party and smashing her teacup Sena tells ruia to pay no attention to her and tells her servants to incinerate the broken cup while walking in the estate after the party Senna apologizes to rubia for using her she explains that the IAT family is nationally recognized and can't allow its Pride to fall despite not having any famous Mages or Knights and as such they have been acely opposing the recent warmongering this has caused them to come

under pressure from the other Lords and the Imperial family and the situation forced them to sell their family treasure in the jewelry store where they had met Reed Baron's family on the other hand supports the war and her father is a famous Inquisitor eager to spread the Imperial religion to Amber and the freedom Union and thus Senna used ruia to show that the IAT family would not be easily defeated Senna then leads ruia to the ivat family library and the latter asks for books by Kevin Ashton causing noname to realize that the girl is searching

books for him senic confirms that they have many books written by him and sends them to her quarters later as noname and rubia examin the 20 books the skeleton thinks on the great opportunity this represents and noting it's all thanks to ruia thanks her before they can read the books noname activates detection and informs her that they have uninvited guests Reed Baron enters the room escorted by two knights making her an offer stating that the event at the Tea Party was not of her doing she offers her a chance to align with her family by

testifying against the avat family in exchange for avoiding consequences from the day's events no name fears ruia will be a target of assassination like her father and chanler but the girl bluntly declines the offer stating that she doesn't want to gain benefits like that enraged at the insult Reed orders her Knights to grab rubia no name prepares to intervene but before he can react the knights reach ruia and are sent flying against the wall Reed Baron looks in horror at her nights and then back at ruia who beckons noname to head back with her once

in their room noname asks the girl about what happened and after she suggests that she knew all along he checks her stats noticing that they have all risen and that she has earned the stat sharing privilege allowing her to share 10% of His Highest stat that being his strength at 93 ruia comments that she had never seen the numbers change like that and believed it was due to traveling with noname and that the skeleton would know noname realizes that he hasn't checked the status window since restarting and that he must focus on raising his stats

to protect ruia in the future he then begins to read the first T of the National History compilation encyclopedia written by Kevin Ashton the book blames the ivat family for the downfall of the Ashton family but no name notes the in congruency in the writing and the fact that the status window hasn't shown up after reading the final book he realizes they are all fake Ashton books and while ruia apologizes for it no name reassures her stating that it might be useful someday as the skeleton pers on the relation between Ashton and the avat family

Reena steps through the window informing him that the transport time was moved up up and they should prepare for the mission noname is worried by this wishing for Isaac's advice and being relieved that reena's pendant isn't reacting to the situation Reena promises to take ruia to the TNT headquarters to keep her protected noting how valuable she is to the skeleton feeling powerless and a burden ruia nervously approaches noname and hands him a handkerchief as was traditionally done by Knights who are being sent out he thanks her and the girl replies that she will wait for

his return but Reena cuts the moment short stating that he is not going to die and that they should depart as Reena and noname dart over the rooftops the skeleton thinks on how he will be able to perform a job change if the mission succeeds giving him more useful traits and getting closer to clearing ruia's scenario ruia's scenario being of becoming the lady of arist and maybe even uncovering one of the world's Secrets Imperial Knights carry the rum chest while being escorted by ghosts as some of them complain about their tasks the M aloh Heath

reminds them of the importance of the mission while beus concurs the two men Converse about the knight's lack of discipline and the coming War before they all hear noises and stand at attention no name appears before them in the corridor dragging his sword behind them but heus fails to recognize the skeleton since he never registered him and as he begins to ask how he knew their route noname raises his sword and activates his sword skill beus orders the soldiers to get noname but the skeleton quickly delivers a blow which the man barely manages to dodge

as noname stalls the Convoy ruia and an associate watch from above as they wait for the bomb to go off with the man praising no name's skill in holding off the gun hosts he tells her that he would like to have a go against the skeleton asking her about their relationship with Reena jokingly answering that it is a relationship from a previous life the girl then remembers that no name simply jumped into the plan stating that he agreed so easily because he trusted her thinking of thanking him when all of this was over as alohe

comments on how they are wasting their time with one man he notices the knights Begin to Fall prey to the sleeping gas unaffected he prepares to join beus while Reena coldly comments that it's too late and begins a countdown as the countdown reaches zero the bomb goes off pulverizing the floor and sending everyone except for no name down below with Reena grabbing the skeleton with her chain down below alohe confronts troen and prepares to attack but the founder quickly dispatches the Mage with her Advanced weapon as the group approaches her he congratulates them for their

work no name notes his surprise that the plan worked so well and she attributes the success to Reena as they're about to move out no name notices the rift in reality manifest itself everyone stands Frozen in place as the Black Knight emerges from the rift as the Knight stands before them noname wonders to himself about the reason for its presence and a shocked Reena reveals that she lacks info about it the skeleton yells at everyone to run but troen stands her ground telling everyone else to escape she charges at the Knight but he grabs her

rifle by the barrel and draws her close suddenly the knight's head morphs into a Maw and he proceeds to bite off tren's head R room flowing from her wounds reena's associate named stiglet then uses his dark Knight's silvery fist on the Knight Landing a punch and budding heads before the Knight splits him in two with his sword no name then tells a petrified Reena to run while he holds the Knight back but the girl is determined to stay and die together with her comrades he then grabs her by the waist and flings her away before

charging at the Knight with his great sword the Knight identifies him as a Target as his attack passes right through barely affecting him the skeleton then decides to go all out activating swordsmanship Blaze acid and lightning but the knight rises in the air before he strike and summons A Storm of Swords from the rift the blades pass right through noname leaving him unscathed but heading straight for Reena the Knight comments that he doesn't know what he was talking about as he pulls a noname into the rift the skeleton looks around in confusion and finds himself

in a strange Dimension and wondering what happened finding reena's corpse he closes her eyes and lifts her up lamenting his failure to protect her the Duke of Lawrence tartier Rees herself as one of her men briefs her on a possible spy among the Nobles annoyed she orders that Reed barar and take care of it before lamenting the number of denters and wondering when they can prepare his birthday party trapped in the rift no name holds reena's corpse and thinks on how the pendant was correct since while everyone else died he survived unscathed seeing the corpses

of those in the corridor he proceeds to absorb their Essences and skills including those from aloh Heath and stiglets noting that absorption efficiency seems to be falling as he absorbs trin's Essence multiple windows pop up informing him of his newly absorbed skills including Mastery of her weapon named Reaper sickle as he attempts to grab the weapon a blue window informs him that his magic engineering level is too low and hence he cannot take possession forcing him to leave it behind he then searches for the rur room chest being unable to find it and wondering about

the knight's connection to the Imperial family and about the consequence of the failed Heist for the TNT Guild fearing for Ruby a safe decent she was under the Guild's protection he starts to search for a way out of the rift and is shocked to see reena's pendant begin to disintegrate suddenly his entire outfit disintegrates as well including ruia's handkerchief soon followed by the corpses of Reena and the rest leaving him alone noticing his rum circuits remain unchanged he activates Fiery Fist and begins to punch at the barrier later combining it with lightning and frantically striking

around in a vain attempt to get out the attacks have no effect other than raising his stats and he loses track of time as he renews his attacks on the barrier countless times trying to return to ruia finally the barrier cracks and shatters and as he wonders whether it was due to his skills Isaac emerges from The Gap and perches himself on his arm telling him to get out as they emerge into a forest no name first notices The Battered and solemn appearance of the crow to which he merely replies that he had a hard

time getting him out he explains that they are in the Eastern Mountain Range having been trapped in a barrier that travels randomly no name asks him how long it's been where rubia is and whether the Imperial family has been up to something after a sad pause he begins to answer one question at a time firstly he reveals that he was gone gone for 2 years in a courtroom 2 years prior Reed Baron's father passes sentence on ruia stating her identity and finding her guilty of insulting a noble woman threatening her with unnatural strength collaborating with

traitors and worshiping and consorting with the devil he states that she deserves the death penalty but at the request of the Wizards he sentences The Battered girl to be confined in the tower of Aura as she is being carried to the tower in a cage Isaac casts a spell on the soldiers escorting her and states that there isn't much time ruia reassures him that it's fine since she will live but is worried about no name since the bodies of the group weren't found believing he must be alive somewhere she entrusts Isaac to find him back

in the present day Isaac states that the Knight sounds like a Titan but the size isn't right finding it suspicious and notes how powerful his barrier must have been in order to trap noname and appear so far from the capital the skeleton thinks on how much time has passed believing Gils and Chandler must be dead and the war must have commenced he asks Isaac where Ruby is now to which he somberly replies if he really wants to know he then goes on to explain that all TNT bases in the capital were ransacked and most members

killed and the IAT family was destroyed for treason for passing information from within the Imperial Palace to the guild he goes on stating that ruia was hauled North to pale Laura's Tower of wizards an Institute in boa wood also known as the winter Fortress ruia is being kept there as a subject after being accused of demon warship and using unnatural strength which leads Z name to conclude that Reed Baron must have testified Isaac continues explaining that the imperial Wizards will experiment on anything they find to be unusual so he expects ruia to be alive for

10 years at least but doesn't know if she will still be the ruia they once knew hearing all this no name screams at his lack of power and vows to go get ruia Isaac then comments that he was wondering whether he should save the girl or the skeleton since doing either would make the Imperial family aware of his existence he explains that there is a limit to his current power since he used all of the R room he absorbed to break the barrier and had he saved ruia the skeleton would have remained trapped no name

still believes Isaac made the wrong choice and should have chosen ruia over him but he couldn't blame Isaac since he never told him he could reincarnate and start it all over if he needed to since he still didn't fully trust the sorcerer Isaac tells the skeleton to give up since he can't deal with the Tower of wizards as noname insists Isaac explains that the Wizards there are far beyond anything he has seen so far and are extremely powerful in the art of Defense the crow Compares fighting them to fighting space and causality emphasizing on the

futility of his Struggle No Name simply states that he has to become stronger and when Isaac asks how the skeleton explains how the leveling up and skill absorption mechanics of the blue window work hearing this Isaac replies that no one grows that way and he is receiving overwhelming privileges asking if he can really save rubia as the skeleton answers yes the sorcerer affirms that he knows a way to increase his strength proposing that he attack the Imperial Legions and the alliance a Freedom Alliance Army marches through a forest amidst the fog the power armor wielding

soldiers comment on the fog and its implications until they notice a noname and thinking him an Imperial Scout charged to surround him however they pause their charge as they get closer noticing that something is off the lone skeleton stands amidst a field of slain Imperial Knights wielding a sword suddenly turning his gaze to face the newcomers sometime earlier noname draws a symbol on the ground following Isaac's instructions the sorcerer explains that it will make the area an altar of Mal and tells him that offering the blood of the slain to The Demon King will make

him stronger as no name remembers person's followers the sorcerer explains that malfus will grant him power in exchange for the offering the skeleton then asks what malfus wants in return unconvinced by Isaac's reply that it just wants the human blood that is offered the sorcerer then states that demon warship is forbidden because it is overpowered and that if he advances the Demon Lord the problem might be solved more easily with malfus bringing ruia to him in person recalling that the demon Lords will rise in 8 years and be defeated a decade later he wonders if

advancing malfus might change the future all that aside believing it to be the fastest way to save ruia noname agrees to make the contract with the Demon King back in the present noname now stands before the corpses of the slain Freedom Alliance soldiers noting how his stats have risen due to the Carnage Isaac warns him that it won't always be that easy and points out that the power armor suits use some rum as power and the Titan store even more he then perches himself on no name's head and tells him to start the ritual the

skeleton finds himself in the mindscape talking to Isaac who assumes a human form and extends his hand taking him flying while instructing him to offer his killings to malfus as he offers the sacrifices a blue window informs him of a new skill also stating that the demon king is Satisfied by the offering and that his Affinity with malfus has risen to 10 granting him the darkness and charm privileges no name looks at the burned out Isaac lying on the floor the sorcerer states that he will be going and congratulates him on the contract stating that

he is has regained the power in his body while laughing maniacally no name then checks the benefits of his new privilege of darkness and tries it with a sword causing it to Glow with evil energy and cut through armor effortlessly he notices the attack does not drain his energy as if a third party was managing the power output realizing that this is what it feels like to have a contract with a demon king he then recalls that he didn't have this chance when he was a soldier under Demon King ball and then checks his charm

privilege and what it entails as he tries it out his presence charms Isaac causing him to immediately deactivate the privilege in shock while the sorcerer claims that it was a joke he points out that he received more power than he expected and no name notices Isaac also got a lot stronger and wonders if he received part of the power as an intermediary they then decide to proceeded in that fashion taking advantage of the ongoing War Isaac then tells him that the next battle might not take place soon with the Empire focusing instead on attacking Amber

before noticing that person's followers have arrived the monsters accuse them of stealing their altar offering and as no name looks at Isaac the crow admits that the area was originally person's altar since his followers were also planning to benefit from the war praising his cleverness for turning it into an altar for malus no name finds Isaac exhausting and remembers person's followers from his previous life finding it fortunate that slime isn't present as he begins to doubt that he will get out of the situation Isaac mocks him for it and tells him to do his best

before flying away as the creatures charge the skeleton activates Darkness easily slaying them all while Isaac tells him that he can do whatever he wants now no name stands over person's followers noting how easy it was to slay them compared to their first encounter one of them attacks him but is quickly incapacitated by the skeleton who uses fear to extract an answer regarding the whereabouts of the deer Patrick AAR he learns that person's altar was destroyed by the Imperial family after the failed R room Heist weakening their foundation and leading the deer to scour the

battlefields alone trying to rebuild their Altar and their strength the monster also reveals that slime of abandoned the cult due to the cruelty of the war and that the werewolf Brody balov was trying to solve his personal matters alone suddenly the creature attacks noname forcing him to run him through while Isaac Praises him for his coldness and reminds him to absorb its Essence the skeleton notes that his absorption is becoming worse the higher his skills become just before a blue window confirms that he has become an epic skill holder and has reached level three of

essence absorption this allows him to extract even more Essence from the corpses on the battlefield even those previously too weak to be harvested after no name scavenges armor and equipment from the battlefield Isaac suggests that they lay low for 2 weeks in order to avoid getting unwanted attention despite not wanting to waste any more time he relents and decides to search for someone else in the area in those two weeks he then goes around emitting strange sounds while Isaac looks on with derision recalling the conversation he had with the goblins regarding mudh and the secret

password needed to find him no name is searching for mud Cash's magic pouch that carries Limitless amounts of gold and Isaac admits that such an item would be use useful to store anything stating that Infinite Space is impossible to create and that the story of the infinite gold coins must have been falsified the sorcerer also admits that he tried and failed to create Infinite Space but searching for it might be worth the effort which leads no name to conclude that it must be a useful item and thus renew his search as he continues to utter

the password he senses approaching footsteps enabling running he follows them until he runs into Brody balov there to avenge his Brethren no name fights Brody in the forest barely dodging his attacks and failing to find an opening he wonders what brought him there and laments broadcasting his location by yelling the useless password he misjudges the distance when using sword thrust having grown accustomed to his great sword Brody then disarms noname and punches him to the ground but the skeleton manages to activate force shield on time he then activates stealth and manages to hide as he

thinks his next move Isaac appears and pecs at his helmet lambasting him for not using malus's powers to defeat the werewolf no name fears using the power being aware of the Demon King watching him but ultimately activates Darkness Fiery Fist and lightning to launch a powerful strike that forces the werewolf back into his human form Brody regrets not being able to keep his promise to Sierra and prepares to die no name asks Brody if he knows Lumen balov causing the werewolf to beg him to reveal where he heard that name before killing him offering anything

in exchange the skeleton wonders if Lumen is Brody's son and as the werewolf reminds him of himself he tells him about his encounter with Lumen and about ruia's plight offering to find more information about lumen in exchange for his health Brody agrees and Isaac mocks them from above the werewolf comments on Isaac's putrid energy and power while the crow snaps back Isaac then tells Brody to break his contract with person since demon Kings can see through their followers eyes the werewolf retorts that the contract can't be broken but Isaac simply answers that he can override

it with another contract and proceeds to do so as Isaac seals the contract Brody briefly coughs blood and a blue window informs no name of malus's pleasure having the new contractor and the benefits this entails the sorcerer tells the skeleton that the contract is weaker than his own and a red window warns that the latter has incurred the wrath of person who swears future retribution noname wonders why this window popped up now noting that he must be cautious Brody then asks noname how he can be of assistance the skeleton believes it is too early to

attack aura's Tower so he asks him for everything he might know about the ongoing War the werewolf tells him that the front lines are currently at an impass while the armies ravage the civilian population he remarks that person's followers have also been killing humans in preparation for the arrival of the demon Kings but the humans have been far better at calling themselves no name recalls that the war became bogged down for 10 years with neither side gaining the upper hand ending in a pic victory for the Empire which was seized upon by the demon Kings

to descend upon the world bro also states that the Imperial Army hasn't been pushed into deploying the Wizards of Aura yet so no name decides to create such a push in order to empty the tower elsewhere an alliance Soldier informs a woman about the annihilation of the seventh and eth Imperial Army companies and the collapse of the Frontline of the pilis region causing her to conclude that someone is lending the freedom Alliance a helping hand at an alliance meeting a man examines photographs of the Iron Man slain by no name explaining that their metal plate

was cut right through those present state that the four Swordsmen were currently deployed against Amber suggesting that the attack was the work of a swordmaster and a MIG working in unison when one of them wonders if God is helping them the woman notes that whoever's helping them is more likely the devil thinking that she will walk hand inand with him a brigadier general barges in and addresses the woman as Senator Karen becoming enraged as she simply ignores him he demands to know why the military Chief was arrested without consulting him in response she throws a

stack of papers at his face and states that he was arrested for mismanagement and embezzlement of funds fearing that he might attempt to cover it up the Brigadier General reports that she can't be suspicious over such a matter now and that he spent many years training the man to which Karen simply replies that she will accept the cost before ordering him to be carried away and continuing the meeting when a subordinate asks about their course of action Karen replies that they will not report the attack to the main Army and that they should continue to

advance and search for signs of annihilated enemy forces she also orders them to make all the events a result they can claim to be their own while the Brigadier General EES drops from outside later Karen is attended by her Aid and bodyguard Lewis Claude in her tent they discuss the Brigadier General's actions and Karen's support within the Army and she states that while her influence is due to being a member of the kol family Lewis made it there on his own strength Lewis recalls that she hired him straight out of the orphanage while Karen teases

him before getting to the point she must build her position within the family by building her own strength else she'd be overshadowed by her brothers she then orders Lewis to find the unidentified attacker to get him on her side and thus secure her position elsewhere the Brigadier General leads a group of Iron Men amidst dead Imperial troops promising to steal Karen's results from her nearby Isaac deduces that the alliance will soon contact them and they must negotiate their payment for fighting Imperial soldiers suddenly the Brigadier General attacks noname determined to kill him to turn events

back into his favor noname easily kills him using darkness and all the remaining ironmen attack the skeleton in unison while a cloaked figure watches the fight a blue window informs him that his privileges level has risen as noname finishes off the Iron Man while Isaac demands a dying Soldier to tell them why he attacked the cloaked figure approaches noname undetected and states that he is there to make an offer reassuring the skeleton of his peaceful intentions when the skeleton States that he can't trust someone who hides their presence Lewis removes his cloak and properly introduces

himself both noname and Isaac note the impressive capability of the cloak to hide his presence with the sorcerer identifying it as a replica of an old Legacy item whose technology was thought lost requiring large levels of knowledge and effort to manufacture he advises noname to talk with Lewis and The Man informs them that the defeated ironmen answered to members of the kxol family opposed to Karen and that the senator wished to Ally herself with noname and offer him support in his Endeavors the skeleton briefly leaves with Isaac and meets with Brody informing him that they

will be cooperating with the alliance and dismaying the Sorcerer when he asks the werewolf about his opinion noname and Isaac arrive at the alliance Camp escorted by Lewis as they head to Karen's tent Isaac comments on the sorry state of the army and how to fix it up Senator Karen greets them warmly and asks for his conditions while offering her support in his fight against the empire surprised at the way she took the initiative noname asks if she isn't worried about him trying to kill her and and while lwis is enraged she merely states that

Destiny has no such thing in store for her since fate shines down on her no name then appraises her and a blue window informs him that the minimum requirements to start the scenario are not met so it cannot start he recalls that this happened when he met Gil stai and that only a select few people he met had a scenario window and even Isaac didn't have one becoming curious about Karen's scenario the sorcerer calls the woman cheeky and noname asks how much R room is readily available finding out that Karen can barely muster two bottles

he demands the r room that comes from the capture of the Imperial City thinking that the alliance will regret agreeing to this and fearing he might run into the Dark Knight again Isaac then warns him telepathically that he isn't done yet and that he must now repeat what he says word for word to achieve what he desires in the shortest amount of time he then asks Karen to give him full command of her Army offering to stay in the shadows and let her take credit for his results while Lewis is livid she calms him down

and agrees to no name's demand curious at what he will do with an army and telling him to show her the Art of War at an Imperial Army Camp an officer screams in frustration after an unbroken TW monthlong string of defeats at the hands of the alliance while Lord Reed Baron tells him to calm down the man continues stating that the enemy ambushed their Supply Depot as Reed Baron suggests he developed countermeasures the general furiously dares the alliance to take a step into imperial soil meanwhile a Supply Convoy arrives at Karen's Camp as soldiers praise

their supply situation and the string of Victories Karen achieved since taking command of the Alliance forces nearby no name Praises their strategy of using Brody to raid the Empire Supply Depots but Isaac comments that something is wrong since the Empire is being too defiant no name recalls that the imperial forces seemed desperate and the Sorcerer notes that there seems to just be one capable commander in the entire Army the troops feel that they've been abandoned as the Empire directs its efforts at crushing Amber while ignoring the invasion of their Homeland and begin to doubt the

emperor not being able to know the situation in Amber no name concludes that it is best to keep pushing forwards towards the imperial capital Brody then appears and warns of a smell of fire and oil above the canyon leading to the camp telling them to prepare they watch from above as Imperial troops prepare an incendiary chemical to attack the alliance troops and no name jumps into The Fray using darkness swordsmanship and dash he easily cuts down the men while Brody looks in shock from afar back at the camp Karen hands noname a vile with Ru

room from the broken Iron Man suits and promises more once they reach the imperial capital noting how her standing has has greatly improved thanks to him she expects that it will take some months to reach the red fox plains that serve as an entrance to the capital and thanks him for his assistance in getting so close to the Imperial family stroking his ego as she assures him that she can persuade the Senate to approve of any strategy he comes up with the skeleton notes to himself how skilled Karen is at leading and persuading people the

senator hands him Intel on the jointed Imperial commanders before departing to take his War plan to the Senate noname and Isaac review the intel on count Oscar anadol a R Commander leading the hel of Asha regiment and the key figure in the Imperial Army meanwhile the court is dismayed at the failure of the surprise attack in the canyon Marquee Reed Baron tells him not to worry over the dead soldiers or make such a fuss causing the count to yell at him to face reality and question his Carefree attitude offended The Inquisitor reminds the count that

he was ascended to Marquee due to Leading the fight against the Empire's traitors and that even the Imperial family looks up to his example as he screams that the alliance would flee if they were to ever encounter him a nekron Society tattoo becomes visible on his neck meanwhile no name reads the man's reports and recalling that he was the one responsible for sentencing ruia vows to kill him Imperial and Alliance forces face each other off at the red fox Plains Marquee Reed Baron screams in ecstasy as Imperial troops gain the upper hand but count anodal

finds the situation suspicious fearing an ambush despite the excellent visibility of the open plane and wondering what the alliance is planning at the alliance Camp other Senators ask Karen she will take responsibility for the effects of the recent defeat but she merely replies that they insisted she share her plans and agree to them beforehand and that everything is going according to plan and the operation will surely be a huge success as Isaac flies over the battlefield he recalls explaining to No Name the first rule of gambling get your opponent to the table by losing a

little first so they grow confident even when the stakes rise and lose everything by the time they come to their senses back on the battlefield hidden Alliance troops and Iron Men emerge from the grass field and ambushed the Imperial forces count anadol looks from the battlements in disbelief shocked at being unable to predict the situation while the Marquee yells at him to do something that instant enraged the count yells at him that he is aware of the man's lack of War experience asking him to bear his share of the responsibility as commander and criticizing him

for moaning about his poor performance and bad luck instead of developing a counter strategy before Reed Baron can reply count anadol states that any further discussion is pointless and walks away determined to do something about the situation as his position demands while the Marquee watches from a distance Karen and noname observe the battle from a watchtower and as the woman asks how it feels now that Victory is in sight the skeleton merely replies that the commanders haven't even stepped onto the battlefield he then dashes away promising to return once the battle is concluded and the

senator thinks of getting ready to enter the capital noname dashes through the battlefield searching for the commanders halting as he recognizes Kirk Ray screaming to his troops in desperation as a large night protects Lord Ray no name wonders what he's doing on the battlefield a wounded soldier begs the skeleton to help and he thinks on taking them on and interrogating Lord Ray on the location of Marquee Reed Baron he is pulled from his thoughts as he is forced to dodge the knight's attack not recalling Lord Ray having such a subordinate and wondering how he could

beat him as their swords Clash noname finds the Knight familiar and asks him if he intends to keep obeying Lord Ray while the latter yells at him to work for his wages stating no one will hire him if the Lord dies the Knight simply replies that it is a knight's duty to protect their lord and it's none of his business and continues hammering at the skeleton with his great sword noname Marvels at his loyalty but activates Darkness nonetheless and manages to blow his helmet away shocked to see that the Knight is Christina the woman screams

that she can still fight but as she charges at No Name the wounded soldier impales her from behind with a spear causing her to collapse as the soldier questions noname for zoning out and asks for a good word with Karen no name looks at Christina and laments her passing hoping he had recognized her sooner he promises to make up for this if they meet in another life realizing that without him or Chandler being at the aist tournament she ended up winning and becoming Lord Ray's Knight Lord Ray insults Christina for failing as he attempts to

crawl away and as the stream of insults continues noname orders the soldier to stand down and allow him to take care of Kirk with his own hands he follows him through the battle pinning him down with a sword and calling him worthless for his treatment of ruia and his subordinates frantic Lord Ray asks how the alliance knew about ruia and whether the reports of her escaping were true recalling that he even hired you Blom to have her killed as noname approaches Kirk attempts to escape and yells at anyone to protect him before being skewered by

a lance noname looks on in Surprise as count anadol arrives at top a horse warning that deserters will be executed regardless of rank and ordering the men to regroup and Counterattack screaming of his Origins as a Cavalry commander and his will to fight he charges into battle attle cutting a path of Carnage recognizing him and wishing to know the location of the Marquee noname activates darkness and dash and Strikes at the count from above as a loud clang is heard count anodal charges into the battlefield noticing no name is not a normal Knight the skeleton

strikes at him from above but the count manages to block it with his Pike and strike back no name notes his skill and realizes that his army could cause trouble for the alliance if left unchecked no name resumes his attack the count blocking his strikes once again and refusing to reveal the location of Marquee Reed Baron meanwhile the Marquee is ordering all remaining forces to retreat determined to save his life even if that means losing their headquarters to the Enemy No Name reminds the count of his promise to execute all deserters and determined to end

the fight unleashes a devastating blow at the officer knowing that no one can block the strike count anodal accepts his fate and raises his Pike ready to fall doing his duty no name stands over the dead count as the dust settles easily defeating all nearby Imperial troops before absorbing his Essence and acquiring new skills he then heads for the Marquee who yells in desperation for anyone to protect him and uses couched Lance to skewer him seeing no Hope of Victory an imperial Mage leaves the battlefield to inform aura's Tower of the situation as Marquee Reed

Baron lies bleeding on the ground the skeleton asks him if he remembers ruia but the Marquee answers that he can't be expected to keep track of such Petty things and offers to arrange a meeting if the skeleton surrender ERS to him noticing the nekron Society tattoo on his neck noname asks the Marquee about it and the man offers to recommend him to them suddenly the tattoo comes alive and envelops his head killing him and causing black snakes to pour out of his mouth the snakes attack non name but he tortures them with blaze and dashes

away while wondering what just happened noting that the nekron tattoos can also be used to attack Reed Baron's reanimated corpse continues to crawl towards noname spewing snakes causing him to wonder how The Empire would reduce an inqu Inquisitor to this demon-like state as he uses Darkness to finish off the snakes the corpse States in an inhuman voice that he recognizes malus's power claiming that he already won and offering No Name the opportunity to become his servant revealing himself to be the Demon King botus remembering demon Kings can see through their contractor's eyes the skeleton wonders

what to do as botus gushes out in a smoke-like form and envelops him refusing to become his servant noname activates Raven's wing and slashes at botus causing him to yell in disbelief as a blue window informs the skeleton that he has refused the Demon King's offer and has dealt minor damage to a fragment of botus causing Affinity with malfus to rise and his charm privilege to be enhanced no name contemplates what just happened noting how humans Associated to the nekron society always seemed to pose a danger to ruia he then decapitates the Marquee and gives

his head to a soldier who mounts it on a pike and urges the remaining Imperial forces to surrender back at the alliance Camp Karen summons noname to reward him for the victory gifting him a golden Scarab that he recalls from a book she reveals that the artifact can unlock a legacy and has been passed down in her family for Generations he then remembers his previous encounters with Legacy items wondering if this Scarab is the key to unlocking the 10,000 times Legacy item mentioned By Starlight Blue Fox Karen goes on to explain that her family didn't

find the door that is unlocked by the Scarab in the alliance so it must be somewhere in the Empire and states that she gave him the artifact to repay him for his services and wondering how he would react glad that it caught his interest as no name thinks of accepting the gift a terrified Lewis enters the tent screaming that their spies have confirmed that aura's Wizards are heading south livid Karen asks how many and as Lewis confirms that dozens are on their way no name rejoices at the fact that the tower is now empty noname

asks for some time to gather his thoughts and while Karen leaves calling for a congressional meeting noname tells Isaac to prepare to leave for the tower the sorcerer refuses however stating that he is still too weak to go against the Wizards and suggesting that instead they break through the Imperial Guard to get rum as well as other items that might prove useful using the alliance forces as an advanced party to smooth their path no name insists on going to the tower however and Isaac attempts to hypnotize him and force him to accept his advice the

skeleton's stats are too high however and he manages to resist the hypnosis he yells at Isaac for trying to stop him after having told him that ruia is in the tower but the sorcerer bluntly replies that there is nothing in the tower since ruia died two years ago noname is enraged and refuses to believe that ruia died but Isaac insists that it's true since she died by his hand in a flashback it is revealed that during the encounter Isaac had with ruia 2 years prior while she was being transported to aura's Tower the sorcerer warned

her that she would be subjected to experiments so terrible that she would beg for death destroying her body and mind while keeping her alive asked if she was all right with that the girl just smiled and thanked the sorcerer when he offered to ease her pain Isaac then flapped his wings telling her to sleep well noname slowly becomes blinded by rage as Isaac's Revelation sinks in and as the sorcerer tells him to move on he realizes that he's been fooling him all this time drawing his sword the skeleton strikes at the crow multiple times while

the lad deflects his attacks telling him that he shouldn't be angry with him since thanks to him he has become stronger and should be grateful for it no name realizes that since Isaac lied to him there was no need for him to slaughter thousands of people like he did and he wasted his time following and trusting the sorcerer defeated no name states that he wished he died as well since he could have restarted from the beginning as Isaac begins to question him about the restart the skeleton promises to spare him if he leaves at that

instant to which Isaac reluctantly complies that night Brody enters the tent and reports that the Wizards are now advancing so they can now enter the empty Tower but as he notices no name he asks what's wrong the skeleton Cuts him off revealing that Lumen is probably an Amber with the red flake organization stating that he will go to the tower on his own and that Brody needs to find his son the werewolf tells him that he can smell people's feelings and abilities and states that the time they spent together wasn't bad and they should meet

again sometime later no name interrogates a knight of the Reed Baron family to confirm Isaac's story The Man confirms that one of the prisoners being transported to aura's Tower suddenly died with no wounds and the skeleton quickly dispatches him before departing thinking of ruia's parting words and realizing he couldn't protect anything in this life wondering what to do next meanwhile Karen finds the Scarab in her tent and holds it close to her heart the Imperial Wizards make short work of the alliance troops mustered against them as Karen watches from afar and other Senators beg her

to do something she asks Lewis about noname and once the man confirms that he failed to track him Karen decides to deal with the situation on her own she Muses on how she always suspected he might disappear as suddenly as he arrived and that despite trying to hold on to him she couldn't depend on him forever she orders her troops to change formation and bring the siege weapons forward and for the Infantry to fire from the rear sending the special mechanized infantry unit to the front line sword in hand and determined to deal with the

Wizards she orders the siege of the imperial capital to begin elsewhere no name Ponders his situation feeling empty and alone and sensing the battle from afar he notes that the troops are fairing well despite losing him and facing unfavorable circumstances and thinks that despite losing his goal in this life it wouldn't be bad to absorb the Wizard's Essence to become stronger and so he dashes forward to join the battle Medics carry the wounded into Camp as Lewis informs Karen that the death toll is nearing 10,000 Karen notes that nine Wizards have been slain and they

still have a 100,000 troops but she must come up with something suddenly a war cry pierces the air and reports start arriving of an unknown Knight appearing on the front lines to help them and the Wizards are powerless against him Karen looks in Surprise as no name cuts through the Wizards and regaining her confidence she ignores Lewis's advice to retreat determined to continue the battle no name notes that the arrows have been diverted to avoid his area and the mechanized infantry is focusing on Wizards far away from his position sensing that those must have been

Karen's orders the last remaining wizard impales a no name with ice spikes but the attack has no effect as the skeleton advances and finishes him off he then absorbs all of the Wizard's Essences and skills declaring the battle to be over the the troops cheer for their victory over the wizards but carara notices two Mages floating above the city's battlements looking down on the alliance forces with contempt and amusement the master of the Tower of Innocence aland comments on the maa's poor performance asking the master of the Tower of Thunder H Al goul if they

should interfere to which he agrees aland then addresses the alliance troops regarding the recent battle and as a noname notes that his flying magic uses up a lot of power the Mage holds up a bag and announces that he is preped prepared a thrilling experience for those present black smoke emerges from the powder bag as the Maia staff touches it enveloping the alliance forces Lewis tells Karen to stand back but she notes that the smoke is already fading the alliance troops laugh believing the spell failed but before long they begin falling on their own weapons

in a mass suicide while aland describes the scene from above like a twisted show host Karen Falls to her knees in shock and horror but Lewis quickly grabs her and tells her to run for safety leaving no name to deal with the Mages noting that he is still standing after taking a direct hit from the powder noting that the powder only works on humans noname believes there is a way to Counterattack aland is laughing at his accomplishment until he notices that noname is still standing activating Gale and double casting the skeleton directs a tornado at

the Flying Mages as they Dodge the attack he uses Force Shield Dash Fiery Fist and darkness in order to acrobatically jump towards the Mages sword in in hand striking at a Hu pulls the master of the Tower of Innocence away from the blad's path and Strikes at no name with a detonate spell pulverizing his armor and revealing him to be a skeleton he notes that it is unusual for an undead to fight alongside humans and noticing his unusual skill is determined to study him aland is enraged at no name for ruining his hair demanding who

Wayne to hand him over for torture he descends to the ground declaring that the skeleton's crime is too great to Simply capture him and prepares to Mash his head in as no name accepts his fate Isaac's voice resounds as the sorcerer wonders who will take responsibility if the skeleton becomes stupider than he is now band is smashed to the ground at the snap of the sorcerer's fingers and as who Wayne wonders who would be capable of such power Isaac emerges from the woods in human form smiling at noname and telling him that he still can't

do anything without him no name looks at the sorcerer in disbelief and the Sorcerer tells him to wait for a bit while he deals with the Mages who he calls in insects aland attempts to cast a spell at Isaac but is easily overcome by the sorcerer who regretting that hair the same color as his grows from such a stupid head uses a charm to force the m to slam his face in the ground repeatedly before using a fire spell on his own head who Wayne looks on in shock having never seen such a display of

power in his 100 years and asks him if the sorcerer isn't btis Isaac appears behind him offended at being confused for a follower of botus and decides to pay h to his incompetence by blowing his head off no name is surprised at the ease with which the sorcerer dealt with the ma and asks him how he can use his power properly despite being cursed Isaac answers with some snide remarks before placing his hand on the surprised skeleton's head restoring his health as well as granting him numerous skills he then explains that his form regained enough

power to fool the goddesses for some time and when noname asks if he achieved this through offering sacrifices he laughs before seriously explaining that even sacrificing the entire Army couldn't materialize his power for long noting that there is a difference between presenting offerings and doing sorcery as his face begins to crack and his body starts to crumble Isaac explains that sorcery relies on causality and the price for using it is subjective the most important thing to Isaac is himself and he would willingly sacrifice Millions rather than perish so sacrificing himself is supposed to lead to

a much higher rate of causality as noname begins to realize what is happening Isaac continues to state that he is sacrificing his life in exchange for nothing and is doing it all for his sake and the ludicrous amount of causality that generated allowed him to temporarily manifest his true form noname can barely understand what is happening recalling how Isaac always tried to use cheat or kill him and ask him why in response Isaac merely replies that it would be boring if he just said it out right and that he gave them the facts Peace by

piece he then sends a sword flying to the skeleton's hands and forces es him to hold it tight before falling on it telling no name to be more honest with one another if they meet in the next life Isaac's body vanishes and the blue window then informs him that he has killed the high priest of malfus achieving an impossible feat and has been spared from the curse leveling up numerous times no name is left alone with Isaac's crow form skewered on his sword no name sees the immense amount of essence flowing from Isaac's Crow corpse

and as he begins to absorb it several red Windows pop up warning him that he can't absorb the essence nor the skills causing him to scream in frustration he then absorbs the essence of the two masters of the Tower and acquires their skills noting that they will be useful he then wonders whether to absorb the Crow's R room noting how that decision will affect Isaac in his future life but concluding that he might nag him in his next life for not absorbing it he proceeds with the task doing so unlocks Lich as a new job

but a red window warns him that he lacks enough R room to change to that job yet but the other jobs have been unlocked he Ponders on what to do but considering that his goal is the imperial capital and not knowing the dangers he might face there he changes class selecting skeleton Knight his skeletal structure is reconfigured and a blue window informs him that the stat increases will now double as he levels up and lists his new skills as a blue window confirms the class change no name Rises and contemplates his new bone armor body

he then summons a skeletal horse and the blue window informs him that it is a rare GR skeletal horse causing him to remember count anadol Pike mounting his Steed no name gallops away towards the capital as he arrives he notices that something is off since there are no troops guarding the capital and everything has fallen quiet not sensing reinforcements evacuation efforts or magic he approaches and notices a soldier looking at him from the battlements remembering the worms he notes that this feels familiar suddenly the city gates open and Marquee Leandro Von vaen emerges at top

off a horse while no name realizes that there was no need to send further troops with someone like him present his thoughts are cut short when more Riders appear behind the Marquee causing him to tremble uncontrollably in disbelief as countless worms bearing vaan's resemblance emerge from the city nearby the Duke of Lawrence tartier watches the scene from a window crying at being unable to give the Marquee his birthday present and regretting being forced to kill him while the worms Advance towards noname Karen asks Lewis about the morale of her Army and their Readiness to capture

the capital and he explains that they won't even make it to the gates accepting the situation and admitting to being shaken as well the senator admits that the completion of The Siege will have to be left to No Name at the city Gates the skeleton wonders how he will deal with the vaan worms the skeleton uses maximum output combining Gale and double casting to land a perfect strike balancing magic and swordsmanship while the blue window informs him that he can now think of different skill combinations battered but alive the worms begin to disfigure while stating

that they weren't ready yet and no name combines double casting and lightning in an attempt to end the fight quickly one of the worms blocks the strike replicating vaan's swordsmanship skill and no name realizes that he will die if things continue like this the worms surround noname and stand still causing him to wonder why they don't attack before activating forced Shield to gallop into the air and preparing to deliver another double lightning attack before he can deliver the blow one of the worms throws a sword which decapitates the skeleton horse destroying it and causing no

name to fall to the ground unleashing the attack with his Lance as he slams into the ground he manages to kill one of the worms and as he absorbs its Essence he notices the remaining worms standing by wondering if they won't attack him as long as he doesn't strike at them recalling only the attacked worm through his sword he realizes that they are obsessed with fighting a fair duel as if vaan's human consciousness was trying to break out a blue window informs no name that his dusk's Blessing skill causes the weather conditions on the the

battlefield to turn in his favor as it starts to rain zephyr's gift turns the wind's Direction in his favor and he has absorbed energy blade experience combining lightning and Gale he decides to accept the worm's duel his attack output being maximized by the favorable weather conditions increasing Power by 50% he then dashes unleashing a dark slash attack at one of the worms and cleaving it in half later absorbing its Essence and skills this makes him believe that he might be able to beat all of the worms one by one and and he thanks vaen for

his unintended help seeing this the Duke of Lawrence tartier regrets not being able to use vaen and calls no name attractive before affirming that as the head of the Shadow Empire she needs to follow the will of the true Empire she then commands the worms to attack and despite their reluctance and attempts to resist the worms finally submit and unleash multiple strikes in unison slaying No Name the skeleton wakes up in his coffin in the forest and the blue window informs him that the inheritance is compl complete and his assimilation rate is currently below 70%

it also states that changes to the scenario have been reflected protection has been disabled Memorial is no longer available and the necromancer's lover privilege will disappear he realizes the Lost privilege was due to the protection being disabled and is surprised to see that he has retained all privileges of the skeleton Knight class despite having reverted into a skeleton Soldier he realizes that he can choose the different jobs one by one and keep their privileges and notes that he lost his dark privileges as malus's contract ended thinking it might be for the best no name then

wonders what he should do realizing that he can't oppose the Imperial family as recklessly as he did since it would only lead to them sending even stronger foes against him as they did in his previous life he thinks of reuniting with Isaac remembering his sacrifice but unable to know if the sorcerer bet on no name coming back for him and that perhaps he will figure out his plans eventually nonetheless he starts to wonder why ruia hasn't shown up no matter how long he waits amidst the storm Ruby departs arist followed by two men trying to

dissuade her recalling her past lives with no name she is determined to summon the skeleton her attendants continue to question her decision but vehemently refus to leave her side intending to repay non name's loyalty she arrives at the grave finding it empty noname watches her while concealed as she tries to make sense of the situation while searching for another grave Expecting The Mercenaries he can't understand how the reset Point has changed say he never gave ruia any R room while the girl searches for him the skeleton appraises her and a blue window reveals that she

died waiting for him causing adjustments and she is now a level one ruler as well as a necromancer and librarian whose stats are higher than in the previous life he notes that ruia has far more stamina than before and recognizes one of the men as one of her loyal ministers no name then wonders why he woke up before the girl even appeared starting to doubt whether his resurrection had nothing to do with ruia he wonders if these servant system worked because he believed the girl raised him from the grave and if so what was it

that actually woke him up unable to answer the question but believing ruia might know something he thinks of talking to her however he remembers that she died as a demon worshipper because of him before and decides to watch from afar rather than approach her immediately one of her attendants urges ruia to return to the castle unsure of what her uncle might do and reminding her of her duties as ruler unable to find no name they head back at arist ruia holds a meeting with her ministers discussing the confirmation of the succession of her late father

by the Empire the ministers try to deduce who will be sent to decide the matter believing it must be at least a marquee no name thinks Imperial recognition is a clever way to keep the ghosts at Bay but is unsure whether the Empire will support Ray Kirk as the meeting continues they deduce that Marquee vaan Von Leandro will be sent to settle the issue one of the ministers happily points that vaan's honorable attitude will work in their favor no name however is distressed at the prospect of the Marquee arriving considering him utterly insane when it

comes to justice so no name thinks of intervening elsewhere in unarmored and calm vaen reads the letter informing him of the succession review vaan deduces that the arist affair must be solved by someone with the title of Marquee or hire and plans to go there suddenly Duke Lawrence enters the room flirting with the Marquee and insisting he call her Laura before informing him of a new job she explains that the Regent Diamond has been stolen from the Imperial family causing Cardinal gracium to be enraged vaan identifies the diamond as ilan's tier and asks the Duke

why yam's Cardinal would be angry Duke Lawrence replies that he gets sensitive when it comes to the authority of the goddesses and states that the other Duke asked to borrow her ghosts for the task but she insisted that Leandro go she then tells him that someone else will take care of the aist matter and urges him to focus on more important things the Marquee correctly suspects that someone is trying to turn his ATT attention away from arist but knowing he cannot disobey an imperial order accepts the mission to retrieve the diamond at arist the meeting

concludes successfully and ruia's secretary asks if she won't try to resort to necromancy again to which the girl says that there's no need as ruia is left alone with her thoughts she sze and recalls no name's promise to return noname listens and determined to stay away until it's safe for the girl activates damage protection to protect her before dashing away knowing he can't defeat the ghosts lurking in a he decides to keep tabs on Kirk Ray using detection at a Tavern Kirk Ray meets with a man and States his surprise at Ruby's Defiance the man

then asks what will happen if vaan tries to oppose their actions since he is not a member of the nekron society but Kirk simply states that he won't do anything and there is no need to worry noname thinks that it might be dangerous to deal with him right away and that his death would have to look natural to convince the ghosts determined to help ruia undetected noname steals his purple armor from yam and gets rid of the nekron Society members that he he can keeping the gold and Guild card from the spider's Den dungeon he

then heads for grassme to meet with Isaac but recalls that Rubio was put in danger due to him trusting and relying on the Sorcerer And is determined to avoid getting swayed by him again using the skills Dash stealth and leave no Trace he first heads to the tavern where Jana yub is staying surprising The Man by entering through the window and throwing a sack of gold the skeleton proposes a deal telling him to support ruia in the aest dispute in any way he can with the gold and warning him about the people back in Kirk

and the danger they pose the merchant is surprised by the trust noname puts in him and hands him his Guild card before departing noname asks where he can hire mercenaries but UB points out that those are no good and points him in the direction of Christina who is training in the mountains Christina trains alone remembering how she was refused employment as a knight for being a woman she screams in frustration and cries recalling her father's cold words no name watches from afar unsure about being able able to recruit her in that state wishing to motivate

her he attacks the depressed Barbarian telling her to raise her sword Christina Dodges the attack and instinctively reaches for her great sword she keeps asking questions but noname insists that she focuses on attacking him to boost her confidence he knows that unless he does this she will end up serving the wrong Master just as in his previous life and is unwilling to let it happen again he recalls that he was once frustrated by his own weakness and failure and remembers his promise to repay her in his last life after Unknowing slaying her he disarms Christina

but hands her back her blade and tells her to try again calling him a lunatic the Barbarian accepts the sword as they fight again she notes that nonim has no intention of killing her and seems to be guiding her with his sword and despite his rudeness the girl can't remember the last time she had so much fun fighting after her fifth defeat Christina confidently asks for a rematch and they continue to spar until Nightfall exhausted she happily tells him to kill her since her life can't get any better than on this not wishing to hear

that he tosses her a bag of gold and tells her to gear up and head to arist and deliver the remaining gold to ruia as his gift to her he then prepares to depart instructing Christina to tell ruia that the gift comes from an acquaintance from her past life before dashing away no name arrives in Doak planning to purchase some information both to find out more about vaen and to avoid getting tricked by Isaac he then sees two figures at the square identifying them as troen and shunian and surprised to see the former alive after

having all her R room stolen by the Black Knight he wonders how this differs to the changes to reena's life brought about by the ru room remembering that the substance is a conduit to change the world suddenly he pauses and wonders if only the r room he used remains altered in the world he wonders if he really does have that kind of impact on the world but notices that the timeline changes only when he uses R room in a scenario and if that happened whenever anyone else used the substance history would have become mixed up

in unimaginable Ways by then leaving those questions for later he approaches troen and shunian and asks if they were planning on kidnapping him addressing the surprised founder by her name and stating that he will follow them willingly at their Hideout Reena is surprised the No Name came voluntarily and the other TNT members Express their concerns Reena sends them away to talk to the skeleton alone and as they depart troen and shunian argue about who raised Reena agreeing that there's something hard to read about noname meanwhile Reena sits down and asks noname if he came willingly

because of her urging him to admit it and tell her everything he can remembering the girl's demise he states that it would be best if she didn't carry out the rur room Heist as he begins talking and filling the gaps in her memory Reena begins to accept that the skeleton might really be an acquaintance from a past life grabbing her knife she cuts him free and thanks him for changing the past and allowing her and her sister to avoid a worse version of their lives she tells no name that thanks to him all of her

memories have returned causing him to wonder if the inherited memories become clearer over time if the scenario is completed Reena then asks noname if he has any questions for her the skeleton then asks why shunian didn't warn them about the heist's failure Reena replies that her divination can be vague when it comes to things she is unfamiliar with such as no name and Reena wonders if the Dark Knight was beyond her scope of understanding and she asked him to keep it a secret to avoid wounding the prophet's Pride she then asks the skeleton about what

happened after she died and despite being surprised at her lack of emotion towards dying he tells her everything realizing the Empire will attack Amber she wonders if they shouldn't warn the TNT headquarters there and then asks the skeleton why he hasn't talked about ruia admitting it really bothered her and noting that she deeply cared about him and she found her interesting no name admits to being worried about ruia and explains the current situation and Reena tells him that Marquee Leandro won't be going to arist since he was sent to retrieve the diamond and then kill

the Basilisk glad that they won't cross paths he then asks who might be sent in dead and she concludes that the only one who could go now is an honorary Duke named vibero Duke vibero is warmly greeted by some children in the streets while no name observes from the rooftops in a flashback Reena explains that he arrived one day and received every title possible from the emperor while keeping a low profile she suggests that no name find him doing charity work in the slums noting that he has a house in a back alley of the

capital and laments that they don't know more seeing that even the guild has problems finding information on him no name decides to go see for himself back in the present no name holds reena's pendant in his hand glad that it hasn't reacted yet not seeing a nekron tattoo on vibo's neck and thinking him harmless he decides to tail him for a day before going to wake up Isaac having placed safeguards for rubia and having the TNT's help to get information he is confident that he won't be swayed so easily by the sorcerer this time no

name follows vibero down the sewers determined to leave as soon as the pendant fires up as he goes deeper no name wonders what the Duke is doing down there also sensing other people nearby suddenly vibo's presence disappears confusing the skeleton until several red Windows pop up warning of the arrival of the Dawn eater Serpent and the corresponding penalties he Dodges the serpent which notes that he is faster than he looks and asks why he doesn't fight back no name wonders if the snake is toying with him and believes it might reveal some of the Empire's

Secrets while recalling ry's advice regarding snakes in the capital he successfully attacks the snake using energy blade and it slams him against the wall damaging his armor but leaving him otherwise unscathed before taunting him some more and releasing a cloud of poison no name's Force Shield manages to hold the cloud at Bay for a while but eventually The Shield yields and the skeleton's armor begins to melt lamenting the loss of Darkness he attempts to use Gale Blaze and lightning to create a powerful strike but while the snake complement his power a red window warns that

the pattern has been disrupted and Magic is not authorized the snake then tells him that the attack won't work and launches several mental attacks the skeleton manages to resist pushing the creature Away by using acid the snake notes that no name has reached his limits stating that he liked his performance and marveling at his power before making a suggestion vibero is shown to be half transformed into the snake introducing himself as the first priest of botus before offering to give the skeleton power from his God Vio laughs when no name notices that he lacks a

snake tattoo and states that such stigmas are only fit for slaves realizing that this is the leader of the nekron society no name believes that he might have as much power for being the first priest of botus as Isaac did he regrets relaxing around vibero and not meeting up with Isaac earlier convinced that he can't escape he wonders what to do but the high priest reassures him stating that he likes him and wishes to show him his work no name wonders what the high priest wants to show him as he leads him to an empty

square and asks him to tell him what he senses finding the place odd he uses detection and feels the presence of the people he detected earlier as if the square were filled with humans he then senses that something is wrong and as he approaches a clock a cuckoo bird emerges emitting human screams of pain vibro proudly explains that everything in the square is made of living humans Modified by hand as the skeleton looks in disbelief the high priest explains that with bis's power such craftsmanship is possible and that kn will also be able to do

such things he goes on to declare that mankind was created for suffering and he is just allowing it to be fully realized human suffering he says serves no purpose so logically humans were created for the purpose of feeling pain he then declares that created the nekron society Gathering a group of people who liked to inflict pain stating that such people are ubiquitous remembering all that ruia suffered because of vibero no name sees this as an opportunity to reveal the secrets of the the nekron society he asks Vio why he brought him here and greets him

warmly before sternly asking why he was followed and noting that he reeks of crows no name realizes that he still retains the circuits carved by Isaac bearing malus's sign carefully thinking how he will answer the question he tells Vio that he followed the trail after learning the Imperial family joined forces with bodus and that he was stabbed in the back by a priest of malus empathizing with him vibro states that botus isn't like that and he doesn't have to worry about malus anymore he states that he will support noname and asks if he desires anything

other than power noname wishes to become stronger but believes that if he makes Ruby a Lord and finishes the scenario she will start her next life in more favorable circumstances having nothing left to lose he asks ruia to be made Lord of arist vibero Grants him the request and turning completely into his snake form states that he must prove that he deserves being treated as an ally rather than a slave for that he must make a worthy sacrifice specifically vaen Von Leandro he then gives him power through a temporary contract telling him all his wishes

will come true after he succeeds in his castle vaan has a strange feeling that some move to block his attempts to retrieve the Regent Diamond noting that he feels reluctant at the rising number of recruits applying for the Blue Lion Templars as he thinks that someone might be after him no name can be seen crawling on the ceiling in a flashback Vio explains to noname that the concealment power he has received can hide his presence from strong individuals like vaen he warns him to not kill the Marquee yet since despite being an obstacle he needs

to see if they can appease him in some way in the present no name shadows vaen while cloaked by the power of concealment back in the flashback vibro confirms that the ghosts also use boas's power and that is the reason almost no one knows about their existence no name is surprised at how easily his questions are being answered and how everything seems to be inter intertwined with vibero and botus a blue window informs him that the quest has been updated since he has acquired information on the Empire secrets and has signed a contract with botus

having cleared the quest he earns 23,750 hero points and his purchasing power Rises to 25.6% noname Marvels at this aware that he still has yet to find answers about the larvae and the Imperial family's interest in arist and of vibo's power the high priest begrudgingly states that he entrusted him the Miss since the ghosts can't be trusted due to the Duke's affection for vaen noname thinks that the Duke probably uses bis's power to block her presence and doesn't understand why Vio doesn't just do as he pleases the high priest then states that he trusts no

name more than the ghosts instructing him to show how he responds to that trust back in the present vaan dismisses his subordinates from The Diamond Case insisting despite their protests by claiming that since the mission was entrusted to him his failure wouldn't impact the Blue Lion Templars if he acts alone no name watches this while concealed noting his Disobedience and with plenty of concealment time left he decides to keep watching a knight enters the room bearing a letter from Isabel but vaan tears it to Pieces upon learning that it is a personal letter stating that

he doesn't have time for that the skeleton recalls how the Marquee reacted to Isabelle's death in his past life confused at vaan's reaction now vaan then dismisses everyone present daring them to fight him up otherwise alone the Marquee reassembles the torn letter and smiles upon reading its contents no name realizes that his reaction was a way to protect her since she could be his weakness if their relationship became public vaan then burns the letter with energy blade suspecting that someone is after him that night the Marquee meets with Isabelle in secret and twists a wire

into a token promising to show it to her whenever he wants to tell her something and warning her not to trust anyone who doesn't show her the token noname shows Vio the token who appreciates the information and confirms that he will make ruia the lord of arist the conversation is cut short as a man enters the room and warns that Marque Leandro has begun to take action Ry plays with ilan's tiar while an associate warns him that the Blue Lion Templars are approaching but the thief states that even the Marquee would get lost in the

smooth Scorpion's Hideout he brushes off the man's concerns about vaen and points out that they can't just hand over the jewel in a flashback vaan recalls how Duke Lawrence playfully hit Ed that these scorpions had the diamond implying that she knew that all along and insisting that he go punish the thieves Vio is enraged at Lawrence's actions and states that something must be done to prevent the jewel falling into the Mars's hands noname asks if he can be of assistance and as the high priest accepts the offer a blue window informs noname that boas's trust

in him has increased and that the corruption in his mind has been revealed before departing the skeleton is briefed about the Scorpion's mazike hideout in the present reallyy states that the diamond contains the power of the goddess of light and a blue window informs noname that concealment has been nullified with him barely being able to stand the power of ilan's tear the skeleton finds rley and his associate while rley is initially reassured that noname was sent by their client due to the diamond's reaction he soon becomes horrified as noname uses acid to painfully kill his

associate believing that he was just supposed to take the jewel noname craves for more pain turning his attention to the sick and Riley and demanding that he entertain him using the jewel as a shield the thief draws his twin swords and attacks determined to kill the skeleton noname finds it odd that he wants to hear Ry screaming in pain despite helping him in his previous life and his thoughts of becoming friends with the man as a blue window informs him of bis's corruption the Blue Lion Templars have become disoriented in the Maze but refuse to

abandon their Commander sighing vaan draws his sword and uses energy blades to cut a path through the wall authorizing his eager Knights to do the same and tear the place apart noname disarms rley and hacks at him with his own double swords recalling that since Leandro didn't bring him into the light the young man's talents will never Blossom and he will feel the misery of dying a meaningless death in the Underworld drenched in blood he absorbs the man's Essence and skills and retrieves ilan's tear while craving to kill more humans and steal their powers suddenly

he hears the Blue Lion Templars smashing their way closer and turns his head Knights enter the corridor and see the bloody diamond on the floor but before they can do anything they are ambushed and killed by no name ven hears the commotion and orders his men to press on while he provides support smashing his way through several walls with energy blade before coming to a halt at the sight of his dead and dying men at vibo's house the high priest Praises noname for escaping with the jewel while the skeleton explains how he accomplished such a

feat thinking on how he used his free experience and the blue window to facilitate his task and has no regrets after fulfilling vibo's orders after laughing at the feet the high priest seals the diamond and states that now there is nothing ven can do to stop him sometime later Mar Leandro leads his men as he puts the pieces of the mystery together relating the theft to the arist affair and recalling his exchange with the Duke he concludes that Lawrence would only keep secrets for one group he is heading into the slums determined to search vibo's

house this causes confusion among his men but they still comply suddenly seeing purple light coming from the honorary Duke's residence ilan's teer has been fully corrupted turning it black and enabling concealment once more Vio then places it into a box sinking it into his desk while mocking vaen he tells noname to activate concealment to welcome their guests and Marquee vaan Von Leandro Kicks Down the door and declares his intention to search the house to The Smiling Duke Vio calmly asks vaan what he expects to find denying knowing the reason for his presence the Marquee states

that the search is is just a formality as his men begin rummaging through the house as he picks up a set of pliers and begins to twist a length of wire the honorary Duke suggests that vaan spend more time with other Knights rather than wasting it on him taunting him by mentioning Isabel while crafting the secret token vaan's face glows red with rage at this but he manages to hold back and coldly enters the conversation no name commends his restraint and believes vaen wants to check on Isabelle but thinks it futile given their gruesome futures

he believes the Mar's life would be easier if he did what vibero asked not understanding the man and wondering what the high priest will do Vio then prepares to leave and after ven Pats him he states that he is heading to arist for the succession dispute while subtly taunting vaen he telepathically tells noname to remain in the capital and watch the Marquee calling him his most reliable agent he promises to do his best to give her true power and make her greater than any run-of-the-mill Lord no name is rejoiced at nearing the end of Ruby's

scenario Mario glad that everything has fallen perfectly into place because of Vio he decides to do whatever he can to repay the high priest's trust in the future vibro departs the capital in a carriage commenting that everything is going well meanwhile vaan's men continue to search the house in vain sighing the Marquee dismisses his men and continues to search alone that night he uses meditation while no name looks on believing he won't achieve anything facing the powerful barriers created by vibero meditating vaan indeed senses the barriers but can't guess how complicated they are knowing the

place is filled with demonic power he draws his sword wary of making any mistake and determined to open the gap between the points in space to unlock the barrier before he can deliver his thrust a knight orders him to stop and informs him that the investigation has been reassigned to Duke Lawrence tartier vaen slashes anyway managing to cut just one strand of the spiderweb like barrier one of the knights yells in surprise at the purple substance smeared on Mar's sword which then Falls to the ground and begins to move vaan states that it is some

corruption and he failed to cut it all because they interrupted him proceeding to stab the substance the Knight then informs him that the change in leadership was due to vaan being considered unreliable after the losses suffered by the Blue Lion Templars Leandro wonders if the Duke used his influence recalling that he wished to complete the mission alone to avoid giving her an excuse the Duke tells Leandro that they were told to use Force if he disobeyed the order standing his ground as the Marquee advanced menacingly and walks right past him telling him that he will

comply the knights sigh in relief at not having to face Leandro and recall that their Commander got suspended for suggesting that there was no reason to stop him one of them wonders what the purple substance was but another tells him to cut it out while noname dashes away at aist villagers celebrate the news of ruia becoming the new Lord noname stands concealed among the crowd believing everything is going smoothly and that ruia will create a paradise in arist in an ideal ending for her scenario noname can't wait to meet the new ruia and heads to

the castle there servants comment that ruia has been behaving strangely being expressionless and less talkative and wonder if it's due to the stress of her new position noname walks down a corridor and senses some commotion inside of a room Duke Lawrence furiously demands Vio return what he stole but he annoyingly denies knowing what she wanted frustrated Lawrence storms off warning that she will tell Cardinal gracium of his antics vibro snear states that the Duke won't brush him off easily until she gives up bis's protection no name watches as Lawrence angrily storms off into the hallway

noticing that he wasn't detected by the Duke despite her enormous power and believes that he is above her while under the divine power of botus which he sees as another reason to be loyal to vibero the high priest warmly welcomes him stating that ruia has been waiting for him and is heading there we then see an expressionless rubia walking down the hallway no name hears footsteps approaching announcing the the end of the scenario vibro introduces the emotionless ruia stating that he worked hard on making her a strong Lord and there's no need for an escort

anymore no name then wonders where Christina is unable to sense her presence he then notices that he can't sense the prefect the secretary or any of ruia's loyal servants either and begins feeling like something is wrong vibro notices noname isn't happy and decides to give him a demonstration of what he did telling him to attack ruia the skeleton is reluctant so VI orders to enslaved maids to attack her with swords instead no name tries to intercede but vibro orders him to the ground telepathically and states that such an attack cannot harm the creature he has

worked on noname looks down as the maid slash at ruia the high priest then orders him to raise his head and as the skeleton looks at the dismembered Maids he explains that he used his precious materials to make ruia a special Lord the girl stands limply seven bloody sied appendages protruding from her back as no name looks in horror vibro telepathically explains that he left the nerves intact so she can feel her body splitting open and that the materials used were crafted with passion and a substantial investment suddenly ruia starts to cry blood vibo insists

that no name tell him what he thinks and sensing he is unhappy calls him a picky companion he asks him what features he wants and plans on fixing ruia over and over until he is satisfied gladly stating that it is a good policy to keep your subordinates happy no name then raises a sword against the high priest stating that he always showed what he was and he never should have listened to him screaming that this wasn't what he wanted vibero is frustrated at being unable to fully convert the skeleton believing he will still be of

use if he erases his Consciousness He telepathically commands noname to obey and rejoice at becoming a puppet but the skeleton resists knowing that if he loses his Consciousness there will be no going back facing the dawn eater serpent he knows he can't win and can only attempt attempt an attack certain that at this rate he will live a long life as a slave ruia slowly approaches noname and touches his back struggling to speak the skeleton notices that her scenario hasn't been cleared yet and believes he can still reverse the situation swiftly he points the sword

towards his mouth and thrusts it in as vibro yells at him to stop ending his own life and reassuring himself that next time he will succeed a thunderstorm rages over arist Rubio wakes up screaming in her bed cold sweat running down her face as she grabs her cloak and rushes Barefoot towards the forest seeing no name's empty grave she falls to her knees and calls to him while he hides in the trees a blue window informs the skeleton that his inheritance is complete and his assimilation rate has dropped to 67.74% as well as revealing his

stats and stating that he has overcome boas's mind corruption on his own it states that he has acquired the anti- enchantment privilege but no name considers the price ruia paid was too high for just another notification despite believing it was the right way to achieve his goal the results revealed it to be a pathetic lie and he wonders what's the point of moving forward after such a foolish decision the prefect and the secretary Rush toward ruia worried about her safety the secretary asks if she was there because she had the same nightmare again she replies

that it was a terrible dream but there was someone trying to save her unwilling to give up regardless of how Bleak things got so she can't dismiss it as a mere nightmare she stands up stating her resolve to meet the person in her dreams at any cost no name dashes away certain that he can't let things go on like that concluding that the more he strives the more information he gets noname steals the purple armor from yam and decides to try that again he once again gets rid of hindrances and recruits those who will be

useful believing that as long as he can make up for his previous mistakes it is possible to create the future he wants at Grassmere he presents himself once more to Lord Chandler as the messenger of malfus forcibly activating Isaac's Quest he picks up his usual weapons at theall of ancestors stopping to retrieve Isaac's Crow doll and imbuing it with his magic before heading to the basement once there he places the doll in front of Isaac's Altar and calls to him by his many titles and recounting his Slumber asking if it is fun to just sleep

there before burning the altar he then activates masquerade adopting a resemblance of Isaac's human form as he tells the sorcerer to come mess with him for a while he wonders if the sorcerer will be angry because of the provocation and stares at the doll for a while wondering why nothing was happening and by that point expected a long list of Lies he asks the doll to say something and Isaac nervously takes possession of it and asks if he somehow wronged no name Isaac deduces that they must be fairly close and asks him not to get

too angry since he has wronged many people no name Cuts Isaac short and offers to explain everything in exchange for one condition deactivating masquerade he tells the sorcerer to never try to fool lie or use him again else he misses the chance to hear the truth Isaac angrily states that he asks too much and that if he isn't lying he might as well be dead Fed Up No Name grabs him by the neck and states that while expected the reaction is unacceptable hinting that he can see the blue window he threatens to go tell someone

else about it before the crow screams that he will not lie to the skeleton for 3 years no name considers it to be too brief so the sorcerer relents to six no name then reveals the information but Isaac has a hard time accepting that he is not the main character regardless he believes the skeleton as the situations he described happened as he expected them to including his sacrifice that version of himself failed in his Gamble and needed to restore non name's trust to avoid future retaliation he believed he would revive himself as a replica of

the past but the current Isaac doesn't have any memories or feelings regarding noname so it didn't do his previous self much good no name realizes that unlike rubia and Reena Isaac didn't inherit his past memories noticing he is straying further from the usual path he wonders if his mind will be able to handle it as the difference is continued to pile up Isaac then purches himself a top him and asks him what his goal is pecking at the skeleton when he mentions ruia's scenario the sorcerer asks him if he knows what he will do afterwards

he affirms that the windows should be a means to an end not the end itself since that would mean meaninglessly walking a path suggested by an unknown entity as the crow tells no name that he must have realized what he really wants by now the skeleton thinks back to all the questions he set aside while following the path laid out by the blue Windows wondering if something is leading him past the veil or preventing him from seeing what lies Beyond he proclaims that he wants to know more about the world and someday leap beyond the

blue Windows satisfied Isaac offers to show him the fastest way to achieve it he explains to a shocked noname that he must fall under vibo's control and get the concealment protection from him with the sorcerer offering to perform another sacrifice if that fails later he must kill tropin Nano and absorb all of her ruum blood Isaac insists that Nona must kill tropen citing the benefits absorbing rum brings to the skeleton and identifying her as the best possible Source knowing the sorcerer is right he still refuses to do it since troen could disappear from existence in

the next life and affect Reena expecting this Isaac changes plans and suggests they follow Ashton and the blue Windows guidance step by step asking the skeleton if he can show him something like that at the forest lodge noname reads the Ashton book and notices the number of pieces has risen to three out of seven he asks the sorcerer if he knows what contact The Broken Pieces means and Isaac states that he has a rough idea telling noname to look back on his past experiences he tells him to single out strange or unusual things that had

something in common as a hint Isaac recites two ancient poems to him dealing with pieces assassinations and Armed Forces no name recalls one of the poems from one of Ashton's books and noting their subject matter correctly concludes that they are related to the red flake Isaac confirms this explaining that the red flake uses Legacy items and consists of seven members after giler rise resignation no name concludes that the book suggest that he must meet all of the red flake members and despite remembering only two Isaac simply states that it wouldn't be unusual that one slipped

past him since they are in order of Assassins so he wonders who the third might have been Isaac suggests that he gets Gil's help to meet them and as no name recalls that there is still plenty of time suggests they install ruia as Lord of arist before that and offers his assistance he recalls the effect of completing reena's scenario and wonders what multiple scenarios might do and remarks that Ashton's seemingly coincidental directions must be linked to the secrets of the world wishing to know more about the world's Secrets Isaac sees no reason he shouldn't help

him he also points out that no name won't stop whining if he doesn't save ruia having set their goals they head to dook determine to let vatia know about ilens tier and Vio Square through Reena thinking it to be a great way to keep both men in check he also notes that Vio will be in a difficult position as ilan's tier can cancel out boas's protection Isaac expresses his concerns about the Imperial family reacting but noname expects that they will send vaan to arist if he keeps on being a thorn in their side the sorcerer

is bothered by the fact that noname hasn't seen the real emperor yet and that he hasn't either for 400 years with the only things roaming outside of the palace being manufactured dolls warning noname that the Empire's power remains unshaken he warns noname to keep his about him and suggests he had tropen to his allies sensing a spell outside of the auction tent Isaac demonstrates his powers by summoning familiar to seek out the spellcaster No Name is surprised that he can do this while in his doll form but bragging and taunting the skeleton the sorcerer faints

seeing that he needs rum no name thinks of possible sources his thoughts are cut short by shunian and tropen approaching with the prophet demanding he reveal his identity at once at the TNT Hideout Reena states that her memory is filling up up tropen and shunian don't experience the same effect and the founder Marvels at the power of rum telling noname to visit her lab when in the capital as shunian howls in disbelief tropen notes that no name has truthfully revealed information he couldn't have possibly known Reena then agrees to take care of everything regarding the

Marquee and help ruia as much as she can stating that the information he gave them is payment enough for their services and telling him to let her know if he has any other favors to ask as noname asks her to get information on the red flake shirian Cuts him short and refuses outright and Reena explains that the guilds signed an agreement to not leak information about each other troen states that it is difficult to speak in here since they move in Disguise and obtaining profiles might be extremely difficult no name deduces that the term here

implies that red flake members are in Doc thinking of looking further into it later he asks troen if it's all right for her to give him this information but she replies that he gave them fantastic information regarding rum the Imperial family and The Dark Knight she then extends her hand stating that he will always be her most welcome guest if he cooperates in her search for rum and no name promises to stop by once things have settled down they then decide to head for the capital and Reena states that they will contact him when the

time comes now alone noname looks at the still unconscious Isaac and picking him up tries to wake him up with magic to no avail noname thinks on where to get more R room but as he P giving him some of his own Isaac awakens and yells at him to stop dismayed at what he was about to do he then tells his screaming noname that his fainting was a joke and a warning telling him never to give the apostles blood flowing within him to others since it is completely unknown what would happen if he gave it

away after he resurrects no name asks Isaac if he is worried about him to which he angrily denies and inwardly doubts that fainting was a joke wondering if he really is all right Isaac then tells noname to follow him under ground to his dungeon and grassme while approaching the Crypt he asks the skeleton if he will simply stop at making r rubial Lord given that her feelings and memories are preserved he states that given the current situation of the Empire and the upcoming War the power of a lord isn't enough to develop her territory and

improve her domain she will be killed if she opposes the war and supporting it isn't an option since arist is close to the alliance and will be swept away right at the start dragging her into the conflict as no name asks for Alternatives Isaac offers to show him a possibility and unlocks a secret door behind the altar they reached the sealed Gateway and Isaac unlocked a secret manhole heading even deeper reaching the bottom they come upon an abandoned Camp strewn with human bones Isaac reveals that humans built those tunnels to escape the apostles a thousand

years ago and that the tunnels connect to UAM arist Grassmere Arendale DAV Hall and Colchester Isaac explains that the tunnel complex is far grander than the one in the capital having been an aist yam and Grassmere no name recalls that Arendale is in the South Central Region while Daven hold and Colchester were destroyed by y's wrath in what is now the Western desert implying that the tunnels Traverse a vast territory Isaac finds a journal written by one of the tunnel's former inhabitants written in an ancient language and is shocked when no name begins to effortlessly

read its contents as the skeleton finishes reading his assimilation rate drops slightly the journal Chronicles the despair of those trapped underground who tired of living without hope eventually committed mass suicide shortly before sron defeated the apostles having read of a secured area they head further inside and stumble upon massive iron cages noname trips on a huge bone causing Isaac to Peck at him before they realize that those are demon bones Isaac considers them useful components explaining that the tunnel system is large enough to build up and shelter an army and connects six cities allowing them

to create an army of the undead no name recalls Gil stai and Isaac states that they should think of on that scale and details his plan once in power ruia should Ally herself with the Chandler family later they could remove the drug lords from yam and seize the city using the cities and the tunnels as the starting point for expansion ruia could become the PowerHouse of the Southern Empire connecting the three cities and securing her position despite the skeleton's doubts Isaac insists that uniting the southern Empire is the best way to protect ruia he then

leads the way to arist and despite his misgivings no name concedes that his plan is not impossible they emerge from the tunnels in arists library and while no name recalls an Ashton Book located there he can't remember its location Isaac then sets up a barrier so as to not be disturbed much to the relief of noname who wishes they had ruia's help in finding the book as if on Q the girl enters the library to take a break while Christina stands on guard outside watching her read peacefully no name Rec calls her suffering at vibo's

hands and wonders if she regrets meeting him and if it wouldn't be better if they didn't run into each other like this annoyed Isaac asks if he isn't going to go see her tossing some books to the ground ruia hears the noise and as Isaac states that he doesn't have time to watch no name waste time the armed girl approaches and demands to know who he is as he turns and tries to speak she quickly removes his helmet recognizing him she gladly tells him how much she missed him after such a long time ruia recalls

that in her past lives noname always tried to save her and tells him she wanted to see him again as she comments that remembering the past lives is the real eternal life Isaac looks on feeling envious no name then tells ruia of his actions in this life and she realizes the delay of the trial was due to him the girl reveals that the trial will be held in 3 months when the emperor visits the region and noname and Isaac recall Reena told them to leave the matter to the TNT Guild the skeleton realizes that despite

keeping Vio in check Leandro wasn't sent there so the Imperial family must intend to make the next Lord a willess slave the skeleton wonders what obsesses them about arist but ruia isn't sure since the city lacks historical significance and Isaac suggests that something must be hidden he then tells her about the Ashton book and she quickly hands it to them the volume speaks about breaking free from the area by climbing up and once he reads it the assimilation rate drops slightly and his intelligence Rises still unsure about the book's meaning he notices an hourglass which

is identical to the one on the book cover but Isaac doesn't feel anything from it and mocks the skeleton before stating that they need more clues ruia then tells them that doesn't have any more Ashton books but gives him another special book about Royal hair color by Isaiah rant Isaac finds the topic unimportant but then notices something in the first page which ruia confirms the page was replaced she notes the differences and that the book was Rebound with magic both signs of tampering Isaac then expresses his taste for ruia's type especially her strength to endure

and ominously states that it is good to be that strong this causes the girl to nervously back away noname doesn't understand why someone would alter a book about hair color but rubius states that the book is about lineage the legitimacy of the Imperial family comes from claiming direct descent from sron the first and the hair color can prove it no name realizes that the book was written because the author questioned the lineage meaning the current Imperial family might not be related to sron Isaac notes that the consistency of silver hair through the generations regardless of

the mother is suspicious ruia also brings some papers that were tucked next to the book they contained a simple spell which if chanted would cause a skeleton to rise to her Aid she hands the paper to noname who reads it hoping to find a secret about himself the paper contains the phrase ruia used when raising him and states that if one shouts dance at the manuscript it will dance once ruia notes how simple it was as well as admitting that the manuscript did dance no name then notices the last pages are blank and as a

blue window informs him that his intelligence has risen by one the writing begins to fade as well causing causing the skeleton to wonder if the manuscript was written by Ashton Isaac believes the manuscript fulfilled its purpose and ruia asks if no name suggests that Ashton planned for her to awaken him generating even more questions and the certainty that the manuscript contained powerful magic Isaac explains that the inside and outside of that world are intertwined like a spiderweb which is the source of all magic while spells are just words he notes that the spell in the

manuscript shouldn't have worked unless ruia knew how necromancy Works no name remains certain that ruia woke him up noting the first times Rubio raised him and him waking up overlapped perfectly he asks Isaac how many threads of the spiderweb he messed with and the Sorcerer explains that he went down the spiderweb trying to break into where the rules of the world are preserved but he was thrown back and lost his powers admitting that him being cursed by the goddesses for his debauchery was a lie he notes that in the beneath they only observe whatever humans

do Isaac also admits that Ash knew the beneath far better than himself ruia then wonders about Ashton and his interest in noname worried by the orders that the ghosts received to dispose of anything suspicious and suspecting they meant for him specifically Isaac tells them to not jump to conclusions unless more clues appear and they decide to move on to another mystery ruia then smiles and declares her intention to improve the situation there coldly suggesting that she could kill Kirk Ray and that it isn't unusual to get rid of political enemies insulting her Uncle she declares

that for the sake of arist he shall not become Lord while no name wonders if Rubio was always like that the girl plans to avoid any suspicion but expects the Imperial family and the ghosts to doubt her and to try to replace her with a worm once she steps out of line no name recalls that in her previous lives ruia never said that it was wrong to kill and even spoke harshly about Kirk Ray and is unsure if he was merely imagining her values ruia is unwilling to hand over her City but she needs a

force capable of facing in the ghosts for that stating that she doesn't need no name's help right now she wishes to try solving this for herself with the base he provided as Isaac and noname start to depart ruia tells him that she will call for help if she needs him and the skeleton gives her his full support before he leaves ruia approaches noname and hugs him causing Isaac to mock him ruia tells the skeleton to return safely this time reassuring him by stating she will be fine as well and he moves to hug her but

desists stating that he will keep his promise this time sometime later noname and Isaac arrive at the Bloodstone mine and see the Goblins being exploited Isaac laments them being wasted on such a task and mocks no name as he heads down sword in hand to free the slaves the skeleton easily deals with the guards and the Hobgoblin approaches to repay him offering him some information recalling his failed search for mudh he tells the shocked Goblin that it didn't work but the creature suddenly becomes possessed and tells him he should hear the Second Story sensing the

Hobgoblin State Isaac warns no not to mess the conversation up the possessed creature tells them to head to the Western desert and as The Possession ends tells them to utter the same password as before but no name finds it ridiculous Isaac however takes to flight and recites some incantations that mess with the creatur's head before fainting as he comes to his senses the Hobgoblin restarts the dialogue and no name realizes that Isaac reset the situation as the creature becomes entranced noname states that he couldn't find mud cash in the eastern mountains or the West desert

causing the goblin to tell him to follow reaching a rock the creature unearths a gold coin and hands it to noname stating that this is the third story possessed once again he says that if he places the coin into the air he will be enlightened with the wisdom of mud cash before the Hobgoblin snapped out of it in confusion no name departs but not before telling the Hobgoblin to take his people and leave before the impending War at night the skeleton uses lightning strike while trying to revive Isaac until finally succeeding noting that he put

a lot more power this time and asking if he's okay Isaac becomes angry at this and insists that everything is under control he then tells the skeleton that the Hob Goblin was under a powerful hypnosis with a three-level activation condition and he wished to find out what else was there to be said no name then shows Isaac the coin but the sorcerer states that it is just a normal coin with no magic or unique origin unsure if no name was tricked Isaac states that the one who Brainwashed the goblin knows about the skeleton's reincarnation he

then asks noname how he can place a coin in the air and he wonders if he experienced something like that before recalling the inventory window noname raises the coin causing it to appear a blue window informs him that he has acquired inventory experience clearing the proceding hidden Quest and opening the inventory Quest no name wonders what Subspace inventory means and describes what he sees to Isaac after mocking the skeleton the sorcerer states that they will find the answer long before the arist trial recalling his past lives the skeleton is wary at the prospect of grinding

for this Quest but is reassured by Isaac's Presence at aist Rubio works until dawn despite Christina's concerns the Barbarian pauses before asking the girl if she is anxious which she shyly admits Christina empathizes with her recalling when she tormented herself with her own problems and ruia tells her she is worried about not reaching her goal she also doesn't wish to blow the opportunity no name gave her and is determined to prepare a plan no matter the cost Christina understands but insists that she rest to avoid having a burnout and becoming easily frustrated suggesting that she

share her burdens with the people who support her as ruia thanks her a silhouette enters through the window and eerily states that if she wants to become a good Lord she should listen to her underlings Christina prepares to attack the Intruder but ruia stays her hand causing the stranger to praise the Barbarian rubia asks if they haven't met before and Reena steps down from the window sill and greets her in the forest noname continues to use meditation and concentration to clear the quest despite him getting bored Isaac pushes him to continue and explains that getting

the inventory would be hard instructing him to focus on the aspects of the object to disengage it from the spiderweb the skeleton continues until dusk when he reaches 360,000 points and clears the quest lowering his assimilation rate and causing him to see the coin in his inventory Isaac asks him if he can move the inventory and as Isaac tries to expand it a blue window confirms that due to his low assimilation rate he can expand the inventory and modify its shape the inventory transforms into a cape and Isaac comments that he has reached the point

where he can revert things to a state prior to the spiderweb being woven and states that it looks like he was right before collapsing in y blam Reena reveals to noname that she met ruia remembering the moment in a flashback ruia tells Christina that she and Reena have a profound relationship and asks if it's okay for the girl to come to arist the thief reassures her by saying that there is nothing to worry about since she was there on Guild business and the ghosts were busy with the emperor's visit so they wouldn't interfere aside from

being formally there to investigate rubia Reena tells her that she would also like to prepare a surprise for noname suggesting that they come up with some fun plan together back in the present Reena doesn't plan on telling noname about the plan and asks about his own agenda the skeleton doesn't have time to unearth the world's Mysteries before that and is worried about Isaac's state so Reena suggests that he go to the port of K Bay and recruit members of the merchant Union smuggling operation there to his cause no name recalls that in this life he

has only contacted Jana UB and thinks meeting new members of the Union wouldn't be a bad idea he agrees to the suggestion and Reena reassures him that she will continue to help ruia keep tabs on the Imperial family having bought time Reena prepares to continue with her plan in Grass Meir Lord Chandler meets with Jana UB and Reena who introduces herself as the representative of the next lord of arist the old man States their aim to install ruia as Lord while avoiding the Imperial family's suspicion no name reaches Kar Bay finding it bigger than he

thought as Isaac wakes up the skeleton explains the plan to him and the Sorcerer agrees stating that he was going to suggest something similar when noname asks how they will find the Smugglers Isaac reveals that the merchant union members use specific slang words that he knows since Lord Chandler is a full member describing him as intelligent and privy to Guild secrets Isaac then pecs at noname telling him to look at a ship with four sails he notices a man throwing up on the deck assisted by two others and the skeleton points out that he isn't

a sailor but the Union's customer in Disguise no name plans to talk to them but is interrupted by the arrival of Customs officers their leader orders All Ships to cease their activity and the Smugglers grow nervous Isaac remarks that things have become much more difficult for the merchants but much easier for them and suggests that they go save the merchants on the deck the merchant Union Captain nervously assesses the situation as the knights search through the vessel Captain nexmen assesses the situation aware that they can't bribe their way out of this with the cargo they

carry they are smuggling state-of-the-art body augmentations capable of replacing body parts and giving the user immense power which are strictly prohibited in the Empire since scuttling is out of the question the men prepare for the worst case scenario the Customs Knights board the ship and rummage through the cargo but as nexmen prepares to act one of the men reports that the cargo exactly matches the log book shocking everyone present the captain cannot understand what is happening and as the Customs Commander insists that they search everything again a massive explosion rocks the docks a knight approaches

the commander and informs him that their temporary headquarters has been hit and the officer orders all men to rush there the crew is relieved but the captain orders everyone to seize the moment and set sail once in open Waters nexmen confirms that the secret cargo is gone since all crew members are accounted for the captain doubts that an ordinary man achieved such a feat expressing his wish that he'd join them noname then reveals himself and pulling the body augmentations from the inventory window he asks to talk to the captain in next men's cabin the man

tells noname that he doesn't have to return the goods since the inventory he showed them is far more valuable surprised no name asks the captain where he was going with this and the Man simply pulls five Merchant Union cards and places them on the table happily inviting the skeleton to become a full member Isaac believes negotiations may go easier than expected but no name wishes to know what the captain has in mind NEX men replies that he wants the skeleton to become a full member for three reasons starting with his inventory ability and its uses

in the smuggling business the second reason is his erroneous belief that no name had previous Intel to do what he did and the third reason was his opposition to the Imperial family he then revealed deals to a surprised noname that the merchant Union fights against the Imperial family and intends to destroy them thinking he's in the right place noname asks if opposing the Imperial family isn't too dangerous for a merchant NEX replies that while they want a world governed by rules and systems in the Empire a handful of people revered as sacred strive to subjugate

the world the captain then stands up furiously reaffirming his hatred toward them realizing that the merchant Union isn't just a commercial Guild noname asks nexmen what their plan is he reveals their strategy to develop their commercial Network to the extent that the current social order will be overturned admitting that carrying out a social Revolution won't be easy that's the reason behind them recruiting worthy people from varied trades with the guild cards being meant to distinguish the people they deem suitable recalling his previous encounters noname realizes that he has the exact qualities that the union is

looking for the skeleton then mentions the upcoming War but but the merchant reassures him stating Amber is preparing for a perfect response referring to Gil's assassination attempt knowing that she will fail non Mourns that the Necromancer won't be able to prevent the war and the conflict will last for 10 years causing the demon Kings to rise and ravage the world he bluntly tells nexmen that the union will collapse and their ideals will fail them Isaac advises no name to tone down a little so the skeleton hints at his plan to oppose the Imperial family in

the South gaining the captain's interest rest taking the initiative noname states that he would like to ask for a favor and pay for a body augmentation although the captain refuses payment the skeleton then asks for the union to give him Ru room and for nexmen to fully support ruia recognizing her and believing she might align with their goals the captain offers his assistance stating they will get along nicely no name then takes the guild cards and the captain promises to officialize his entry into the Union sometime later and back on land no name worries about

Isaac's State and offers to to give him more magical power after a pause the sorcerer tells the skeleton to put him in the inventory revealing that ilen is undermining him and he needs to be cut off from the light understanding noname complies and wonders if the sorcerer will heal in the inventory having to rely on his own judgment for now noname decides to watch ruia from the sidelines and check up on Kirk in arist noname listens to some men talking with ruia's Uncle they lament an upcoming tournament fearing Christina is too tough but Kirk states

that he will take matters into his own hands they reveal that the Lord of Grassmere is organizing the tournament surprising noname and one of the men angrily asks Kirk if his allies are going to help them noting that he hasn't contacted them in a while Kirk tells them to be quiet and insists that his plan is a sure bet even without them stating that ruia and her ilk are about to experience complete public humiliation no name rushes to grasp me worried by Kirk Ray's plans for the tournament at the city Lord Chandler warmly greets the

skeleton and announces that thanks to him he can pass the title of Lord to his successor and the tournament will be held to coincide with Chandler's Ascension he then explains that the winner of the tournament will determine who the next Lord of arist will be and asks the shocked skeleton to walk with him while he explains the situation he tells noname that he did all he could to support rubia praising her knowledge of everything necessary for present day arist and describing her as an indispensable Ally to Grassmere however he also reveals that the citizens began

to question whether ruia would have the strength to protect arist from foreign Invasion fearing that she wouldn't be able to attack enemy regions hence she has been forced to step forward to prove her determination through a tournament by proxy he states that ruia suggested the tournament and knowing Kirk won't fight fair expects that she has a plan telling no name that she has a powerful proxy they finally reach Isaac's former dungeon which has been transformed into grass's military grounds Chandler is training there with his men and warmly greets noname thanking him for saving his family

from Isaac's curse and giving them free will as Chandler bows in gratitude his father offers no-name lodgings in the castle that night no name sees that his life is heading in the direction of Free Will and ruia's plan and wonders what to do wishing Isaac were there his thoughts are cut short when Reena then enters through the window she tells him that everything's going well thanks to him and explains that she gave vaen a fake Regent diamond and they are free from boas's Power allowing them to work hard for their own sake no name remains

silent she asks if he is worried about ruia but refuses to reveal their plan telling him that it's a secret she then jumps from the window leaving the confused skeleton behind and asking him if he understands what it feels like to be sucked into his plans without a clue she tells him to have faith since those with past life ties will do this on their own while ruia approaches the city with her retinue noname walks the streets of grassme notices the city's transformation certain that he can help ruia behind the scenes if something happens but

deciding instead to have faith and just wait like ruia had faith in him as ruia approaches the city Christina's horse goes mad and throws her off injuring the Warrior One of ruia's knights finds a plant along the roadside which she identifies as Phantom Thorn known to cause confusion and Madness in animals since it isn't native to the region they conclude that somebody is targeting them suspecting it to be Kirk's doing with Christina injured ruia wonders what to do the Barbarian would surely be defeated if she competed in the tournament in such a state but they

can't claim that Kirk was responsible without providing concrete evidence she briefly considers asking no name for help but decides against it as she must protect her own citizens and she can't keep relying on him forever determin that she can succeed she tells her retinue to continue towards Grassmere stating that she has a plan at grass's Arena the public cheers on as Lord Chandler passes the Baton of office to his son confirming him as Lord Chandler thanks those who supported him and Promises to ensure grass's prosperity and strengthen its alliances in the southern region before announcing

the start of the tournament he introduces Kirk Ray who rides in accompanied by his proxy Phillip The Butcher and then ruia who enters the arena alone Kirk snears at the site and ruia explains to Chandler that Christina fell off her horse and no name thinks of stepping in Kirk taunts rubia over the situation as she gives him a death stare before stating that in this situation she can either be disqualified for not participating and forfeit the lordship or participate personally in the jousting tournament before no name can do anything ruia agrees to participate she then

declares that she suspects Kirk's hand in the accident and after he taunts her for her lack of evidence she hints that she might have done something to his proxy as well while Philip denies this ruia makes a proposal for all present stating that a Lord shouldn't hide behind his subordinates at such a time as this and telling an enraged Kirk to leave his proxy and decide this in a direct duel between them as the crowd Roars the presenter tells the Lord candidates to get ready unsure of Ruby's plans Kirk has replaced his horse and Lance

with ones from grassme certain of Victory meanwhile Christina explains the basics of jousting to ruia believing Kirk to be at the same level as her she then tells her that whatever her plans are she should run if her life is in danger causing ruia to smile and thank her as the referee gives the signal both contenders ride into the arena with ruia determined not to run away since she is going to win the contenders then ride at full speed Lance is couched The Clash sends ruus helmet flying but both Riders remain at top their steeds

Kirk notes the girl's lack of skill and taunts her suggesting that weak people like her and her father cannot lead the people he goes on ranting that people will judge her and that they might like her one day and question her the next as the crowd looks on in shock and disgust he declares that to be the nature of the people and maniacally affirms that they need domination and will only understand with whips and rods warning that if she gives them Freedom they will stab her in the back after a pause ruia coldly states that

he is wrong and as she charges she yells that while people don't need a weak Lord that doesn't mean that they need some trash who pretends to own them Ruby's Lance hits Kirk full on in his helmet and as they turn about to charge again she states that a Lord is someone who protects their people and shields them from Outsiders Ruby's Lance shatters after another charge but she turns about once more grabbing the broken Lance with both hands and screaming that Lords are a sword that cuts the enemy's heads even if it gets their own

hands bloody dealing a furious blow she declares that she will become that sword of aist No Name comments that her strike was terrible weak and slow the weapon was too heavy for her but because the attack was so weak the audience felt ruia's determination which she had during the battle despite arriving scared and trembling she continued to strike again and again her attacks becoming the symbol of someone who would gladly take up armor to protect the people the symbol of their Lord's conviction Kirk died from his fall defeated by Ruby's conviction despite her body trembling

like a leaf ruia's eyes were firm with resolve and the people responded to that firm gaze declaring her their lord a blue window then pops up informing noname that ruia's governance level has risen to six as the crowd screams her name Ruby's face becomes lit by an unforgettable smile having endured so much hardship to finally become a Lord by her own strength at aist ruia tells no name that she was scared when entering the arena but regained her strength when she saw him and then confesses that the duel wasn't part of the plan she initially

planned to use the Phantom Thorn to drive Philip's horse mad but after Christina's accident she realized that she wouldn't be different from Kirk considering sacrificing others to come to power too cowardly for her determined to avoid that path she changed the plan and fought Kirk herself facing her problems personally like no name the skeleton cuts her short stating that she is wrong affirming that regardless of one's convictions putting oneself at risk is meaningless ruia says that she agrees and Promises to never put herself in such a dangerous situation ever again she then asks him if

he can't just congratulate her which he does the tournament was recognized as a legitimate succession method by the Empire and ruia read the official proclamation to an assembly marking the start of her rule she announces some policy changes and requests Chandler to lend her some troops and equipment in exchange for a portion of arists crop yield Chandler agrees to send 200 troops and ruia states are plan to wipe out the necrons and drug lords from yuam and then form a coalition between it arist and Grassmere she states that they need to get enough power to

influence the Imperial family to avoid the exploitation of their citizens since uniting the South would be difficult with military power alone Chandler suggests that they make the provinces complement each other through trade he offers to dispatch grass's Craftsmen but rubier rejects The Proposal stating that they can't give them away so easily as the prefect points out that their Province doesn't have any valuable trade items no name interject offering his help and stating that he has reliable friends in the trading business non meets with Jan yub and nexmen offering his Aid when called upon in exchange

for them supporting arist and the southern Coalition UB considers the Coalition beneficial for merchants and next men trusts the Coalition will be a force capable of opposing the Empire since it is backed by no name Jana then proposes to move the merchant Union's headquarters to arist and noticing the skeleton's concern reassures him stating that they need to have a talk between Merchants sometime later UB and nexmen meet with Bey Blackberry in her jewelry store at the capital and afterwards the three meet with rubia in arist sealing the alliance between them they then start to develop

trade routes and establishing links with other provinces causing ruia's governance level to rise to eight no name wonders what it would take to raise it to 10 asking an absent Isaac what he would do after several questions he asks to himself what he should do now and wonders about the random information about Isaac displayed in the inventory window noting that he still doesn't know anything about the world he also wonders if Isaac is all right elsewhere Duke Lawrence is informed by Vio about vaan's Disobedience calling him a dog he gives her a final warning to

either give up the protection of botus she and her men use or cut the head of the dog off causing Lawrence to say vaan's name with tears in her rage filled eyes eyes at night a magical bird flies overhead no name destroys it with energy blade causing its fragments to spell the owner of the pendant in the capital in the night sky believing Reena to be in danger he dashes towards the capital once there he presents reena's pendant at the TNT headquarters and is lad downstairs surprising Reena and troen with his speed the girl tries

to create a relaxed environment and play down his inquiry as to what happened but the skeleton sees through it Reena then grows serious and admits that something has happened smiling at his ability to see right through her she reveals that Vio has issued an ultimatum to Duke Lawrence explaining to a shocked noname that she has been ordered to kill vaen and deducing that the high priest has threatened to remove boas's protection tropen then states that Leandro has been the wall holding back the Imperial family's evil Deeds but with him gone there would be no one

left to stop them Rea then adds that with vaen gone Vib would try to reestablish the nekron society and the arist coal I would be one of his targets she explains that there are two possible options either wholeheartedly help the Marquee or ignore the issue and let him die troen warns that helping the Marquee would mean an allout war against vibero and the Imperial family and that if negotiations with him failed he would die anyway and ruia and the Coalition would end up involved putting all of them in danger she then explains that the Duke

was covering for Leandro as a personal favor but it is no longer worth it for her no name believes they can't let vaan die knowing what Vio will do and unwilling to let ruia go through that again he proclaims that they need to save the Marquee and they all agree troen states that they arranged a meeting with vaen later that day in a nearby graveyard to try and persuade him and Reena warns that they don't know what the Imperial family might do or what the Marquee will choose Reena approaches noname telling him that it could

be the last time they meet in this life since he is too busy protecting ruia so she called to see him one final time no name cuts her short stating that there is no need for goodbyes since he will meet vaen he reveals that there is a way for him to communicate with vaan remembering the wire token Reena insists that she and troen must go since it is too dangerous for noname but he replies that if he runs and turns his back on the Imperial family he will be left with nothing and there's more value

in keeping Reena alive as the girl protests he asks her what she would do if anyone else was offering to go to the meeting telling her that neither ruia nor her should put themselves in danger for his sake and and that this is something he must do himself he then departs leaving a disheartened Reena behind troen offers to a company no name to the meeting and tells him that she has a present for him promising it isn't something that is easy to come by she leads him into her laboratory as noname questions the safety of

having such a facility in the capital troen tells him that the door is in the capital but the building isn't instructing him to open the door again no name complies and emerges from a lodge in the woods surprised at trop and power she hands him a jeweled bottle with some R room and insists on him accepting it and letting her see the absorption process he uses when asked why troen points to several drugs she must inject to maintain her body and states that she wishes to improve her methods if possible as a counter favor noname

asks to keep some R room for later planning to give it to Isaac and troen agrees as long as he shows her the absorption process fulfilling his end of the deal noname then removes his armor and pours some rum on his circuits while in an amazed trop and takes notes and makes observations on the process and the circuits though no name doesn't understand her his mechanical engineering level rises as a result and he notes troen and Isaac's Talent after the process is complete the founder thanks no name and while he stores the remaining R room

in his inventory she hands him a book with a symbol of Eternity and repetition with r room flowing in it stating that she remembered it when he absorbed the substance he asks to see the book's contents and she agrees the book is called unsolved pain and is written by Kevin Ashton the to tells of a time when humans lived happily in peace and plenty the animal stated how humans were wonderful and the children grew well then one day enormous monsters appeared asking why humans aren't fighting among themselves and devoured those who failed to flee underground

no name realizes and troen confirms that this book narrates the time before the founding of the Empire no name continues to read about the emergence of sron the first emperor who defeated the monsters and how he drank their blood and gave it and the Monsters parts to other humans despite finally defeating the monsters sron knew that it was not the end yet since the strongest and most terrible monster was still sitting under the first city and he tried to defeat it the story Cuts short and no name's assimilation rate decreases and despite there being missing

pages his intelligence still rises by one he tells the founder that he might have found something big and troen tells him that the pages were missing when she acquired the book deducing that they must tell how sron defeated the monster and became emperor no name thinks the torn Pages might be a deception however since his intelligence normally only Rises when he reads a book to the end thinking on how the strongest monster was sitting under the first city he asks troen where she thinks the monster might be if it was still alive she tells him

that according to the map in the book it must be in the underground Chambers beneath the Imperial Palace where the r room is stored she tells them that she has never been there before since it is impossible for an unauthorized person to force their way through the barrier and and thinks that it was made in a previous era no name remembers Isaac's story and troen tells him that she showed him the book because the symbol of Eternity and repetition in its cover resembles him the skeleton is convinced Ashton intended him to read the book and

wonders if the Dark Knight is connected to the Last underground monster unable to find a link as Reena arrives troen tells him that they should go the girl asks if he really must go to meet Leandro and after Dawning his armor he replies that he needs to she concedes but tells him to hurry and not keep vaen waiting at the graveyard the Marquee draws his sword and Strikes at no name and though the skeleton blocks the strike it splits his helmet in half revealing his true face vaan is furious at seeing that the leader of

those who manipulated him behind the Shadows is merely a monster the skeleton asks if he has a problem with that and vaan points a sword at him and asks him why he called him there warning that he will either kill him quickly or give him a painful death depending on his answer as vaan attacks once more No Name realizes the Knight is test in his skills and toying with him the Marquee demands to know why he called him there and the skeleton replies that he wants him to end the war the Imperial family is trying

to start vaen pauses and no name deduces that as the head of the Imperial inspectorate he knows more about the dark side of the Empire than himself and hopes to solve the situation with a conversation he asks the Marquee if he is aware that Duke Lawrence is eliminating those who oppose the war but he merely replies that he has no reason to interfere in the power struggle since he is a sword of the Empire known as then asks what happens if the leaders of the struggle are backed by a demon king causing vaan to warn

him to watch his words because they will determine his fate the skeleton continues revealing that the Duke receives boas's protection through vibero and unable to disobey his commands he has been forced to kill even loyal subjects if the high priest is displeased with them vaan asks if he is hinting at him to which no name replies that he is the only subject of Lawrence who searches for holy relics and dispatches boas's servants unconvinced vaan asks if he thinks that is enough to spare him since in his eyes he looks like a demon King's follower noname

then tosses the wire token to him and asks him if he isn't curious how he got it revealing that he restarts when he dies and has seen the Marquee die in vain several times the skeleton offers to become allies telling him that he has information from his past lives and vaan crouches to retrieve the token while asking how they should oppose vibero and who else serves the Demon Lord aside the Duke no name believes his plan works worked but is forced to dodge as vaan uses energy blade on him the Marquee then tells a surprised

skeleton that he shouldn't have the token and regardless of the information he might have it's over since now he has a personal reason to not spare him no name notes how vaan never seemed more intimidating than he did now and wonders if he was just waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike he asks who the true monster is as ven begins his strike but his blade is shot from his hand the Marquee then notices troen identifying her as the one who took out all the surveillance he assigned to Reena with bullets and a scythe the

founder quickly grabs noname and prepares to flee using her weapon to thrust them upwards as vaan reaches to grab them in arist ruia feels no name's magical power grow weaker and wonders what he's up to lamenting that he never tells her of his plans and just hopes that he's all right ven jumps to grab tropen and noname but the founder uses her weapon to change direction and hop away they return to tren's laboratory where Reena awaits them and asks what happened noname apologizes for failing to convince vaen but Reno brushes it off stating that it

is enough that they are alive troen tells her that she is fine but vaan is something else with his blood lust and no name concurs and asks what kind of person the Marquee is Reena tells them that he has a paranoid hatred of monsters and all information on him is completely hidden it being harder to find information on him than the Duke Lawrence or vibero no name then wonders what emotion was hidden behind vaan's expression ression seeing in it his own struggle against death elsewhere vaan thinks on how he never expected to hear vibo's connection

to the necrons from a monster unable to explain why he had the token and surprised that it fought with his own swordsmanship realizing that vibro and Lawrence are on the same team he wonders if he was seeking an easygoing Justice and decides that the task cannot be delayed any longer he heads to Duke Lawrence's office and as she asks what he wants the Marquee formally requests that she as head of the internal investigation Bureau cooperate with him in investigating the relationship between vibero and the nekron society the Duke replies that since internal investigation is her

area this was bound to happen thinking that she was probably attracted to vaen because Beauty shines so brightly only because it is ephemeral she states that investigations on a Duke can only be carried out by the head of the internal investigation Bureau she then proposes that since they first met as swordsman that they end it as swordsman as well promising to give him her title if he defeats and kills her she states that she will be waiting in 3 days in the secret chamber of the Imperial Palace and vaen thanks her as she leaves Duke

Lawrence regrets to herself having to take away leandro's Beauty in the forest vaan reunites with his Steed Miu apologizing for keeping him waiting he then notices the worn out stirups and wonders why he has come this far memories come flooding back starting with a young vaen attending his mother's funeral vaan's mother lived and died as a knight but hers wasn't an honorable death leading her companion of the Imperial Guard to their death because of a hasty decision after her death the house of vaan fell and 3 days after the funeral Leandra was left with his

gaunt father with glazed eyes and the ring and seraphim blade belonging to his mother sometime later vaan's father grabbed his leg begging him not to sell his mother to Sorry's ring stating that she would be sad vaan replied that she would be sadder if the family servants who stayed out of loyalty had to leave without their due salaries his father broke down in tears and and Leandro barely managed to pay the salaries with the ring and dismissed the servants his father lost the ability to speak and secluded himself in his study without eating or drinking

and Leandro picked up his mother's sword heading to the place where they used to train together he remembered those times and sparred against his imaginary Mother 3 years later his father passed away and Leandro buried him alone next to his mother he then headed to his study and learned of the life he had lived investigating garbara the monster Tori wanted to slay finding out that it would appear 10 years after her death his father had cracked his teeth in Rage and frustration at being unable to save his wife from the monster determined to avenge her

and unable to sleep properly Leandro understood his father's feelings and decided to inherit his legacy researching poisons potions methods for fighting monsters principles of magic meditation techniques training methods to keep calm and so on he thus inherited his father's knowledge vaan continued to train until he unlocked energy Blade the day he turned 14 defeating his mother's Mirage for the first time he then burned his home and went on his way to slay the monster that killed his mother with his own hands and get stronger 2 years later vaan presents several slain monsters to a caravan

asking how much they will pay for them the men are surprised by his age and one of them asks if he's considering becoming a bounty hunter in the service of the Empire vaan explains that he doesn't wish to serve anyone yet the man tells him that he is bringing such a large number of monsters that they can't handle them anymore but if he serves the Empire he will earn more and be able to move around more freely as well as hunt stronger Monsters the men then show him a bounty for a hippogriff warning of the

danger it poses while vaan lists its characteristics he tells them that if he hunts down a hippogriff he will be able to fight against more monsters and Leandro collects his bounties and leaves vaan reaches the hpp's hunting grounds and sees the creature hunting down a m he believes the May doesn't stand a chance and prepares to wait for the creature to get tired before noticing the horse is defending its F enraged he swiftly cuts the hippogriffs claws causing the enraged monster to strike back with its beak vaan seizes the moment and beheads the creature noting

that the dead mayor wasn't an ordinary horse since its mother helped him defeat the monster he decides to take care of the fo and asks it to come with him promising to feed him that's how vaan earned his only friend Miu 3 years later a security guard approaches the commander of the order of the Blue Lion Templars at their headquarters telling him they are in trouble he explains to the debauched man that someone has attacked them claiming that he wants to test his skills but not to join the order suddenly vaan kicks in the door

expressing the high hopes he had for the Blue Lion Templars since his mother had praised them so much enraged at what he sees vaan kicks the commander down in front of his subordinates asking him to reveal who he is and where the Blue Lion Templar are the man insists that they are the Blue Lion Templars and that he is their Commander but vaan doesn't believe him the man frantically explains that the order was reformed 10 years earlier so that every nobleman that joins the Blue Lion Templars automatically increases their status stating that he joined for

that very reason vaan then asks if the order has become a tool used for status promotion and the commander confirms it Leandro is dismayed at what he sees having headed there to test his strength one last time before facing garbara he decrees that because of these men so many people lost their chances to become Knights so they should all die before he can proceed however Duke Lawrence approaches and wonders who he is and why he's so handsome Leandro backs off sword in hand surprised that the Duke got so close before he could even react Lawrence

continues to flirt with him and notes that his blade is trembling but vaan darts to attack her she calls him soft-hearted and deflects his blow before asking his business there and vaan replies that he has come to test his strength Lawrence wonders why since everyone in the Empire knows that the order has become a status symbol but vaan reports that he wasn't aware and his mother had considered it the best nightly order in the Empire the D duuk asks what his name is and as vaan answers she asks if he is come for Revenge shocked

and enraged Leandro uses energy blade but the Duke blocks the attack he then demands that Lawrence give him her name but she replies that he is just like a fairy tale hero who has been sharpening his sword for Revenge she then Strikes Back romantically stating that it is rude to ask a girl's name in that manner while a furious vaan asks her if it's a joke to her before striking once more Lawrence pins his blade down and furiously asks if it looks like she is joking but vaen frees his sword the Duke is surprised that

he managed to release the blade and notes his wonderful fragrance and calls him 100% magnificent she asks vaen to come with her and become the commander of the order extending her hand and offering to give him anything he wants Leandro refuses and Lawrence states that she wouldn't let him leave if that was the case certain that he cannot overcome her right now Leandra wishes to fight her again someday even if it kills him but not today he reminds her that she needed him stating that she will have to kill him if she doesn't let him

live the Duke laughs at this comparing him to a butterfly that cannot be held too tightly else it die and allows him to leave to find his revenge convinced that he will come back to her one day because it is fate later Leandro gallops through the forest searching for the garbara and finds the hole it crawled from Leandro tells Miu to wait for him and jumps into garber's hole sword in hand soon encountering the monster back in the present no name enters tren's lab and finds her absorbing R room she tells him that Leandro got

into trouble with Duke Lawrence over his request to investigate vibero which amounted to a declaration of war against the Dukes she is unsure of his fate and affirms that everything will be decided that day in the secret chamber of the Imperial Palace remarking that they must choose whether to follow Leandro there or to stand by focusing on other tasks no name decides to follow the Marquee and after troen agrees he requests that they go without Reena the founder reveals that she hasn't told the girl anything since they may not come come back alive from the

mission and she needs someone to take care of TNT no name doesn't want to say goodbye to ruia certain that he will meet her and Reena again someday he asks troen if she is fine accompanying him on such a mission and she replies that it is a unique chance to find the truth she has been searching for these past centuries grabbing her weapons and telling the skeleton to move quickly as the pair walk in the city no notices the road leads away from the palace but tropen just calls him naive telling him they are going

to the real Imperial Palace suddenly they're enveloped by fog but it clears once troen raises a candle believing Leandro passed that way before them troen tells no name to follow her and dashes away being followed by the skeleton the pair quickly reaches the battlements of the real Imperial Palace no name notices a huge eye watching them from a pond but troen warns him not to stare at it too much since it might be a barrier as they head towards the building no name wonders why there aren't any guards there and troen replies that either the

Duke is demonstrating that everything is under control or guarding is of no use in the palace warning him to stay alert she tells him that the barrier is extremely powerful and if someone misrecognizes it even once they will end up wandering around the palace until captured in order to pass through she adds he needs to stop relying on your perception and start questioning even obvious facts and when that happens they will enter the outer stronghold of the true Imperial Palace as they enter the palace and stare at its decorations a blue window informs no name

that has witnessed flamboyant and acquired level one accounting tropen urges him to press on noting that Leandro has disabled almost all of the barriers they reach a gilded fountain in a garden and troen confirms that it is the entrance to the secret chamber she activates the entrance and jumps down the hole warning no name that the fountain sculptures are holy relics as no name lands next to troen she comments on how exciting this is and warns that there are a lot of barriers on the way to the secret chamber recalling the problems she had when

first trying to enter and thanking King Leandro for clearing the path they reach the entrance to the secret chamber but no name notices something and activates detection Miu jumps from above and lands badly beside them and while tropen wonders if it is a chimera the skeleton identifies it as leandro's horse recalling meeting it in past lives troen notes that he must cherish the horse and wonders if they should take it with them the skeleton agrees since it won't go back and the place is too dangerous to just leave it alone and all three head through

the Iron Gate noname looks at the inventory window telling Isaac that the truth he seeks lies ahead urging him to wake up further inside the chamber Leandra walks down a dark Corridor until he meets a creature all the Torches in the wall suddenly light up the grotesque two-headed Abomination greets him as prey the Marquee wonders what kind of creature he is facing and it replies that they are the one who achieved the unrivaled sword Mastery abandoning the weak human body and he can consider them his executioner it goes on to explain that they fight fight

death row inmates who are told they will be exonerated if they beat the creature and recalls all those they killed and ate especially soulless smile Stacia Leandro becomes annoyed as the creature keeps talking to itself regretting not finding out the reason behind stasia's nickname after it finishes its introduction the monster states that the Marquee can die now striking at him dodging every attack Leandro calmly explains that staia would never have explained her nickname to the creature revealing that she had problems expressing her emotions after suffering childhood trauma at the hands of her parents starting to

giggle sporadically only after she killed them and finding joy in murdering people the creature finds the story funny recalling how she cried in the face of death and regrets not playing with her more asking vaan how he knows this the Marquee Cuts one of its arms with his blade furious at the fact that the inmates were slain in such a manner instead of a proper execution as the creature prepares to strike Leandro turns and coldly reveals that it was him who brought them all into custody Leandro effortlessly cleaves the monster in half with his seraphim

blade considering it silly and deciding to speed up since he's only on the eighth out of 10 floors of the secret chamber after traveling along a dark tunnel for hours tropin and noname reached a lit area with a tombstone with the number 10 engraved marking the entrance to the first area of the secret chamber contrary to expectations they find the place full of life and strange creatures no name points out that the sky is fake since birds are flying low and only in determined areas and the creatures confirm that Chimera experiments took place there remembering

the Chandler worm troen confirms his statements describing the place as the byproduct of a gigantic magic experiment which probably involves the entire Empire Mew smells a footprint left by Leandro and sits down indicating to Trop an and no name to hop on he then starts Galloping at full Trot following the Marquees Trail as they speed through the grasslands several Chimera Bears close in and begin attacking them noname kills the first one with his blade while tropen Snipes several more with her weapon and Miu Dodges incoming strikes they finally reach a cliff but as the horse

presses on and jumps they pass through a barrier midair and land in a volcanic cave no name is perplexed and marveled at miu's speed wondering if that's the secret behind leandro's Mobility troen sees some spheres and identifies them as Fern fruits which are hated by chupacabra and remarks that the previous chimeras were a cross between bears and those monsters no name is surprised by her knowledge and she continues to explain that the fruits were probably necessary to Traverse the previous area as they head deeper into the cave noname asks if it isn't too hot since

there's lava everywhere but troen explains that if it were real lava they wouldn't be talking as the skeleton wonders if they will find leandro's Trail in this condition they come across a lava Valley but Miu simply gathers speed and gallops straight into it they pass through another barrier emerging into another space and carrying on as Miu follows leandro's Trail suddenly a giant bat descends from the ceiling troen Fires at the creature but it Dodges the bullet so noname Cleaves it in half with his great sword they note that the danger is increasing as they press

forward and come across the creature that Leandro killed earlier troen notes that it must have been strong and no name notices the Marquee defeated it with two slashes wondering how many he would need imagining that he fights the monster he wonders what Leandro would have done and realizes it would have taken him three slashes as he absorbs the monster's Essence he realizes that he would lose facing Leandro and and is still too weak troen tells him to follow as they cross the door to the seventh level they emerge into a huge laboratory and tropen recognizes

that Alchemists conduct their research there she then notices an empty vial with a note from the Duke stating that if one pours its contents onto the floor the door to the next level will open lamenting not having a second potion troen begins to explore the laboratory looking for another way forward and tells no name to get some rest the skeleton laments not being of any help and tries to to smash the floor with energy blade but troen tells him that it is protected by a spell that even a master of the tower could not break

pointing at several polygons forming a perfect net in the room she describes it as an insanely secure Fortress safe from war and impossible to find by Ordinary People it is stocked with potions allowing the user to last for months without food or water as well as reagents that can put someone into hibernation indefinitely The Fortress reminds no name of the tunnels used before sron defeated the apostles noting that it was more isolated and better equipped as if someone was planning to hide there forever he pauses in realization as he recalls that the demon Kings will

attack in 10 years and wonders if they are preparing for that event in the secret chamber no name realizes the Imperial Palace is anticipating the aftermath of the second coming of the demon Kings preparing for war and assassinating those who oppose it while some of its high-ranking members worship botus he deduces that the chosen ones will hide in the secret chamber waiting for the her to defeat the demon Kings to return in joy and glory to shake the world in their hands like sron did when he defeated the apostles he tries to explain this to

tropin but she pays no heed as she rejoices at having created an identical potion the founder explains to noname that there is still one part missing before they can exit the level angrily she explains about a magic called Signature consisting of magic applied to an ingredient that must be dispelled after blending for the potion to work she tells him that she has dispelled the magic on all ingredients the signature spell on the potion itself will require another day to dispel she curses at Ellen and noname identifies him as the master of the Tower of Innocence

having absorbed his skills in a previous life noname grabs the potion and activates magical chemistry and I for poison reciting a formula for a substance to dispel the signature tropen merily gets to work stating that she can now easily solve the problem thanks to his help a blue window informs him that he has participated in the production of a signature poison raising his experience in magical chemistry and eye for poison troen announces that she succeeded in dispelling the signature and pours it on the floor causing a Vortex to open as they jump inside they arrive

at a grassy plane with a massive marble Temple where three people can be seen talking amongst themselves no name approaches a Stella inscribed with the words faith will help you survive and adorned with ilen symbol the temple freeze reads that all are welcome and tropen and noname hope that they are allowed inside without trouble the three people approach them and ask if the group plans to follow Le Andro stating that they are servants working to keep the place stable and don't meddle with anyone's business tropen recognizes them as priests kinok cedin proon and Enon sofen

ilan's highest ranking priests they insist that they are merely servants and troen tells noname that even their presence there makes her nervous before insisting that they move on bidding the priests farewell noname approaches the golden doorway but as soon as he touches the handle it glows red hot as the priests State their surprise in alarm warns that that unholiness has been detected and is not permitted within ilan's domain telling no name to sever his connections with his Unholy powers and punish the Unholy one hidden in the shadows the inventory warps and disappears and as Crow

feathers start falling a voice asks who noname is to punish him huge blue Windows pop up in front of noname warning about detecting one who cannot discern between the holy and the profane within it and stating it will melt the scale noname is perplexed at seeing the status and invent interfering with the Physical Realm suddenly The Voice speaks again and states that he is here now as Isaac materializes before him in his human form he mocks no name for caring for him before pointing at some flying Warriors who begin to attack them with maces tropen

is confused and pushing them back she asks if Isaac is who he claims to be pointing out that they have turned angels and goddesses into their enemies because of him the sorcerer confirms it all and states that no name will take care of everything before snapping his fingers and causing the blue Windows to shatter noting that that they are ilen servants and warning him to not attack the monument since it has the goddess's blessing tropen noname and Miu look in Surprise before rushing to the Stella and preparing to fight back to back the Warriors move

into attack but Isaac steps forward and opens a red inventory warning that only no name can use that divine power without facing adverse effects from the Physical Realm A Warrior's arm passes through the inventory but is severed Isaac explains that the inventory allows him to create an effect without a direct cause telling him to open the ventory and expand it he then directs the skeleton to think of blocking an attack and raising a force field guides him step by step telling him to think what he truly desires those he wants to protect and urging him

to overcome the external forces to protect the ones he loves as the skeleton visualizes this Isaac tells him to make his will tangible and expand it against the bugs he then Roars that he will protect them and the inventory Shield expands and holds back the hordes of Warriors surprising both Isaac and troen the Sorcerer then prepares for the final step tropen can't believe what she sees as no name's inventory Shield holds the bugs at Bay Isaac supports the skeleton and tells him to expand the shield even further urging him to not stop he instructs him

to memorize all the sensations and familiarize himself with the divine power of the inventory to feel the insects and their attacks as noname begins to feel this Isaac instructs him to briefly dematerialize and then close the inventory to control the entire area the skeleton complies and dismembers all the warriors with the inventory feeling like his mental energy was drained Isaac explains that exceeding the limits of the Physical Realm expends tremendous amounts of energy taking credit for assisting him and extending his hand as no name grabs it the body dematerializes revealing Isaac's Crow doll cracking and

he explains that he wasn't in his true form managing to use some of the skeleton's power while in the inventory he then urges them to head into the temple before it's too late since they are still in ilan's domain and more enemies might appear he then purches himself on Miu and hypnotizes the horse Galloping it towards the temple as the others run behind them and trop and expresses her confusion at the situation opening the Temple's gate they enter a mazike hallway troen asks how Isaac knew miu's name and the sourcer explains that reading memories is

child's play as long as it isn't on Monsters like noname the skeleton then asks how Isaac used his inventory first stating that he didn't and then affirming that he doesn't know calling it a jealousy from one who is pushed into a supporting role suddenly Isaac is swallowed by a Vortex soon followed by the rest of the party they begin to fall and land on the next level with no name crashing to the floor and disappointing Isaac the sorcerer's eyes then grow wide as he realizes they are standing upon a mountain of gold rejoicing at finding

the Imperial treasure and telling the rest to clean them out Isaac and tropen gleefully roll in the Treasure as no name watches in disgust as he states that it isn't the time for this Isaac pokes at him in his true form and tells him to pack everything in the inventory stating it will be of good use later and promising to pass only the highest grade treasures he picks a Black Blade Isaac tosses him causing his accounting experience to rise slightly and as the sorcerer continues to toss him items he opens the inventory causing blue Windows

to inform him that he has acquired The Relic finder skill and is surrounded by relics Isaac continues to hand him Treasures causing no name's experience to rise as he stores them the skeleton Marvels at this until he wonders if no one is worried about Leandro seeing that Isaac and troen are oblivious to the matter and distracted by the treasure meanwhile vaan reaches the fourth level a massive Library used to store knowledge noting that they were prepared for the worst confirming that no name's warnings were true determined to discover the truth he heads to the third

floor where the Duke awaits planning on visiting the remaining levels after killing her passing through a thick Iron Gate he enters a room holding several people in stasis pods noting that they are human EXP experiments and crimes are being committed there a grotesque creature approaches Leandro but as he Stomps it angrily wondering what the Imperial family is doing the room lights up revealing Duke Lawrence Leandro states that she created the human-shaped monsters but she denies it and offers to speak comfortably because they won't see each other again as they meet each other as Swordsmen they

stare at one another and Lawrence asks vaen about joining hands with them and states that they can provide anything he desires the Marquee asks if the Duke doesn't know what he wants and he deduces that he desires to fill his empty Heart by getting revenge she notes that despite hunting the garbar that killed his mother Vengeance came too easily for Leandro leaving him with a meaningless hatred toward monsters and a desire to punish any remaining evil beings coldly stating that now he is no different from the monsters he hunts taunted vaen lunges forward as the

two Swordsmen Clash he asks how Lawrence dares to speak when she knows nothing but the the Duke coldly asks if he doesn't remember what happened 10 years ago 10 years ago Leandro sought to avenge his mother but failed to find the garbara that killed her slaying a much younger monster instead enraged he lost his way and became a legendary Bounty Hunter slaying countless monsters in his endless quest to eradicate all remaining evil creatures like Tori did in the present Lawrence taunts vaen with those memories causing Leandro to ask how much she really knows as they

Clash she replies that there isn't anything she doesn't know about him dodging and blocking every one of his attacks without striking back enraged vaan demands to know why she isn't taking the fight seriously but Lawrence replies that she never said she was before winking to him and revealing that the only thing she takes seriously is her love for him as the Marquee becomes even more Furious Lawrence tells him that she has prepared something special for him with all her love as she reveals that it is vaan's birthday the cave walls are revealed to be covered

in papers and pictures of Leandro she explains that she has prepared a big gift to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their first meeting and shows a shocked vaen his present Leandro freezes in place and drops his sword as he beholds a chimera made by crossing a garbara with what appears to be his mother as the creature calls him by his name and reaches with its tentacle to touch him while stating that she missed him ven falls to his knees Lawrence explains that creating his mother required a lot of effort stabilizing her mind and vibo's health

and the Duke asks if he's happy with the present vaen then bursts into a maniacal laughter with Lawrence noting that it is the first time she saw that expression on him and asking what type of Tori he wants either a naughty person sister swordsman or lover telling him not to be shy before furiously stating that he fell in love with Isabelle who closely resembles his mother vaan thanks the Duke who is delighted that he understands her feelings Leandro goes on to state that he is grateful because he has been chased chasing after an unattainable Vengeance

but she has helped him discover the one he must slay to achieve it glowing with energy and grinning insanely he unleashes an energy blade attack while Lawrence Wonders that a man who won't break down after all that isn't really her type anyway vatan and Lawrence furiously clash and the Duke screams that Leandro shouldn't have tried so hard to figure it out and both him and Tori should have just lived within the fabricated truth stating that he will die for getting too close to the truth as they separate she reveals that Tori succeeded in hunting the

garbara but since she got too close to the truth the Duke dispatched her personally and preserved her body to create chimeras continuing to exchange blows she goes on to tell Leandro that he arrived at a perfect time allowing Lawrence to repair her deteriorating Mind and Spirit and finally succeeded thanks to Leandro as she asks if he will be able to cut down his mother vaan screams and Strikes once again meanwhile no name in the group entered the fourth level Library which Isaac describes as a store room for knowledge while troen is enthralled by the rare

and forbidden book stored there a hypnotized Miu picks up leandro's Trail and is put to sleep by Isaac who is determined to rumage through the library before continuing despite no name's protests he states that it doesn't matter vaan dies since he can just save him in his next life anyway and he starts tossing books at him he then asks the skeleton how much he knows about the divine power of inventory and regression noting that he saw his thoughts while in the inventory in including his fear that the cycle might end before he is able to

change a thing noname then admits his hope to protect ruia and avenge mistress succubus by restarting endlessly but Isaac then asks what he plans to do once ruia or Reena die or if the world ends and a new one appears he states that noname shouldn't think about protecting someone right now since their life is but a blip in time compared to his regression instead he should focus on finishing the scenario and then finding the reason for his existence and for him being the one noname asks if he refers to his Destiny and Isaac laughs at

him and tells him he should find a purpose to live and die for since he is cursed with regression and that what matters in this life are the treasures and knowledge that people cannot obtain easily and that he isn't packing them because of the skeleton Isaac then lifts a book setting off a mechanism that reveals a whole bookcase full of Kevin Ashton books no name grabs a book and reads it believing its contents regarding overcoming death to be directed at him Isaac and tropen after several empty pages he reaches the end and his wisdom Rises

by one confirming that it is indeed an Ashton book as no name Ponders what happened troen suggests that they pack the books and move on merily carrying a sack with her loot no name begins to pick the books by hand but a frustrated Isaac instructs him to increase the size of his inventory and then uses magic to put them all inside of it as the skeleton closes the inventory he notes that it has a storage limit since he's feeling tired after storing the books and treasure and Isaac explains that it will expand as he's able

to utilize it better and he will also be able to store the objects he accepts and reject the rest as no name Praises his intellect the sorcerer dehypnotization and Lawrence continue their duel as they Clash the Duke thinks on how the real onebody one sword occurs when he becomes one with the sword and reaches the true level of selflessness in that state the sword makes a nearby objects and the environment meaningless and the slightest distraction can lead to death as Leandro strikes once more Lawrence Dodges and comments that she is so happy to be in

that sort of space with him enraged vaan thrusts his sword and pierces Lawrence's abdomen causing her to fall to one knee she manages to block leandro's next attack and as they stand face to face she sees his old old self and Muses on how she was the distracted one Leandro and Lawrence are locked in a death stair as their swords cross swiftly vaan strikes again and manages to sever her sword arm the Duke Falls to her knees grabbing the bloody wound in pain as Leandro stands behind her his eyes and sword shining with deadly power

she then uses blade energy with her hand in an attempt to kill the Knight who is already preparing to deliver the killing blow the Duke thinks on how she wanted him so badly because she knew that he would become such a perfect man as vaan's blade cuts her head clean off and she calls him the greatest of all her creations with an expression of Joy on her face Leandro then removes his upper armor while standing over the dead Duke and turns toward the Tori Chimera IT addresses him as her son but vaan coldly states that

it doesn't matter if it's his mother or not since she died that day back then he then dispatches the creature with energy blade seeing his imaginary mother as he does and then heads further down the tunnel determined to see whatever the Imperial Palace is scheming no name Ponders on the huge Ashton collection as they run into a collapsed section of the tunnel Isaac tells noname to try to clear a path with the inventory and familiarize himself with the power he instructs him to create a barrier like he did with the bugs and push the Rocks

away but this time without the sorcerer's assistance no name tries and fails in this task and a frustrated Isaac tells him to remember the sensation he felt while fighting in the temple troen remarks that he probably doesn't remember it since Isaac's help made him lose Consciousness tropen offers to help but the sorcerer insists that noname must do it by himself since he can't be babysat forever as the skeleton protests Isaac remarks to himself that he is indeed trying his best and wonders if it only works if he's in a dire situation he then asks noname

to give him his hand and offers his help again snapping his fingers he slightly affects the inventory making it easier for noname to project his will noname is then able to push the barrier and feels as it warps around the Rocks strengthening it he pushes The Boulders away and clears the path they emerge into a chamber holding humans in stasis pods and no name is Frozen in shock as he recognizes one of them as the hero who killed him the first time recalling his and mistress succubus's death at the hands of the hero noname loses

his mind when confronted with the object of his hatred while Isaac and tropen look in surprise he repeatedly hacks at the glass pod holding the hero to no avail and and as that fails to make a dent furiously smashes at it with his head shattering his helmet troen holds him back and tries to calm him down explaining that he's not the hero but an empty shell and Crow Isaac tells him to sit down as he explains which finally causes him to wind down the sorcerer notes that the place stores empty vessels calling several of them

by name and revealing that both tropen and himself know who they are troen confirms this stating that they all vanished or died 200 years ago and Isaac notes that the numbers in each pod represent the time of death as well as the time of preservation and probably also the failures he then notes that if what no name said about the future was true these are the heroes that will appear in the future vessels prepared for the return of the hero tropin is confused but Isaac goes on to recall his expression about those who cast the

Nets the guests who exist outside of the world he deduces that they are the ones who possess a blue window like no name and wonders if these are vessels from them to take over Isaac then ties all Loose Ends explaining that the Imperial Palace plans to resurrect the demon Kings and use the guests to slay them emerging from the secret chamber to Revel in the glory and honor after the hero succeed still confused troen wonders if they are involved in something beyond the human limit and Isaac speculates that there might be a connection to a

being far superior to yera stating that they were only able to get this far with a no name's help noting his regression power he then instructs the skeleton to return to that chamber the next time he regresses and destroy the flasks tropen asks why and as the sorcerer asks what's in her veins she realizes the vessels are all submerged in Ru room and the substance makes the flasks very hard to destroy no name listens to the sourcerer and is surprised that the hero was created by the Imperial Palace wondering why a skeleton Soldier has a

blue window and regresses his musings are cut short when a voice calls them hilarious as non manages to block vaan's strike with his inventory the Marquee furiously states that he followed him down there vaan asks the group who they are and why they are there Isaac adopts his human form and concludes that since Leandro is there Lawrence must be dead as the Knight asks how they know that before no name can answer the sorcerer begins to taunt an increasingly angry Leandro before revealing they are there to discover the secret of the Imperial Palace and suggesting

that Leandro share his information with them vaan initially refuses but as he recognizes Isaac as the strategist of of the group he relents and gives him information about his fight with Lawrence Isaac then asks if he knows what's on the next floor but vaan quickly reaches for his sword suspecting the sorcerer is mocking him once again they then head to the room with the dead Duke and garbara and Isaac instructs noname to absorb Lawrence's Essence while he persuades vaen and explains what's happening noname is shocked at the amount of skills he's absorbing from the Duke

including lacal sack Ang geography needle sting level three and time acceleration level two though he failed to absorb level three he also acquires the skills of stigma and makeup and more Essence than he ever absorbed from a single battle as ven grows impatient Isaac tells him he can't reveal their plan until he assesses the situation he notes that the Duke cherished Leandro and fought him to make him perfect leaving him with no support in the Imperial Palace Leandro continues to mistrust Isaac but the sorcerer determined to show his trustworthiness commands a hypnotized Miu to approach

before breaking the spell the Marquee is extremely pleased at reuniting with his horse and Isaac decides to give him more things he instructs a reluctant tropen to heal him with a potion she stole from the Alchemy chamber and no name to hand him the dark blue chest plate in his inventory before vaan can refuse tropen drenches him in the potion stating that she does this out of necessity and Isaac hands him the chest plate as the armor begins to change Isaac explains that it changes to better suit its user and is light as paper while

being far more powerful than his previous gear Leandro expresses his gratitude but asks what the sorcerer wants in return Isaac replies that they will be facing things they never experienced before in the Next Room and as Leandro implies that he wants an alliance the sorcerer coldly asks him to not get in their way no name breaks the tense standoff between Isaac and Leandro suggesting that they put aside their differences as they head to the next floor he states that vaen seems to trust Isaac to a certain degree and the Sorcerer doesn't completely distrust Leandro causing

both to be surprised that he can make those kinds of judgments vaan offers to take the the lead and give them information if they face anyone from the Imperial Palace being eager to settle the debt he has to them for the valuable information they gave him He coldly suggests that the information they gave is so valuable that he might sentence them to death if they return safely causing some tension and then wonders how long no name will take the skeleton finishes absorbing garber's Essence and tells the group to move on he's absorbed the motility plant

and call of the seeds skills which will be useful in improving ruia's estate he also saw pieces of tor's memories of leandro's fight causing him to realize that they both might be in a similar situation as no name stares at him vaan looks back in disgust before turning away and the skeleton thinks there is no need to tell him that his mother felt so proud of him when he slayed her the group emerges into the next level consisting of a massive Courtyard with a Stone Arch at its Center a voice states its surprise at Leandro

arriving after defeating Lawrence noting that the Duke lost to his emotions and died for that weakness as the chamber rumbles several metallic figures step forward and a terrified troen identifies them as Elven Titans the original version of the Iron Man suits vaan accuses the figures of creating the secret chamber and proceeds to identify them as Secretary of Defense alteron gatekeeper pyro Treasurer terce chief of the Imperial Army Argo Headmaster of the MA's Tower argle of the Flames adviser liver tril vibero and the third swordsman querty the latter notes that with the Duke dead and the

swordmaster missing he and vaan are the only remaining sword Masters and he would be the last one once he defeated the Marquee Leandro asks them if they are the ones who sold out the Empire summoning demons but they laugh at off stating that they didn't sell out the Empire but all of humanity Isaac asks no name telepathically to remember the eight names Leandro revealed but before he can guess who the remaining three Titans are alteron fires a bolt of lightning at them to cease their chatter implying that he heard their conversation query then asks if

they shall begin the punishment uning a chains sword and striking at vaen no name comments on how he could feel the killing intent coming from query's AA blade and how he realized that this could be the last battle of that life at alon's command three Titans form behind query the third swordmaster clashes with vaen blocking his attack and pressing his Advantage Leandro then Dodges the next attack and slashes at querty and the other Titans damaging several of them one of the Titans Fires at the Marquee from a distance but he Dodges the projectile and dashes

toward him cleaving the suit in half as querty prepares to attack again Miu charges him and kicks his sword while vaan faces six Titans alone liver tril turns to face troen telling her that he was aware that she would come and offering to spare her if she cooperates meanwhile the founder calmly pulls a pill and syringe from her satchel and thanks him for the offer before coldly rebuffing him and proceeding to bite the pill and inject the serum as liver Trill prepares to execute her tren's body begins to shake and glow from the sheer power

being Unleashed no name prepares to intervene but Isaac stops him and reminds him that the plan is to see the power of the Titans for his next life stating that he should be grateful their foes don't consider them as enemies liver tril strikes at tropen but she Dodges the attack and appears behind him damaging the Titan's arm she then fires several shots at it before dodging Pyro's flail and smacking him in the head with her Scythe the wounded adviser approaches alter in stating that they might have the wrong Intel but the Secretary of Defense corrects

him striking at troen with a mechanical tentacle he comments on how her rur room blood and her weapon makes the founder as powerful as a small Titan able to take on two of them but not himself unable to hold back any longer noname joins the fry Isaac tells him to do as he pleases and warns he will not interfere while alteron prepares to finish off troen and orders the remaining Titans to deal with the weaklings insulted and enraged Isaac asks if he is referring to him as a weakling and begins to Glow with malus's power

joining the battle Isaac turns into his crow form and sever alon's tentacle as Argo calls him weak again the sorcerer binds him in magical chains allowing troen to sever his leg Isaac then binds alteron coldly stating that it is their turn to meet their end at the hands of weaklings and signaling no name as the skeleton dashes past Argo severing his arm alteron breaks free from his chains and attacks him with multiple tentacles which he Dodges using time acceleration as he stabs the Secretary of Defense in the chest Isaac tells noname to test what he

learned sinking his energy with the skeleton noname then focuses and punches alteron in the chest smashing him in half with the inventory Isaac then blows argo's head with a magical strike and troen Beads pyro with her Scythe but they are both shocked as they realize the Titan suits are empty Leandro asks them if it is some kind of remote control while no name realizes in awe that the Marquee single-handedly defeated six Titans as the Titans begin to repair themselves alteron states that the core members of the Imperial Palace wouldn't give up their lives so easily

mocking them for their naive Argo then mocks them for using all their strength against their stunt mocking them as malus's followers quty states that they are being strengthened to match their power and dashes at Leandro his chain sword being blocked at the last second by trop in sight no-name Leandro and troen soon find themselves hardpressed against the oncoming Onslaught meanwhile Isaac easily blocks a Titan's attack with a barrier while wondering what the Titans are planning to do with the large altar in the room focusing He commands the structure to reveal its secrets and technological tendrils

soon begin to appear radiating from the arch laughing maniacally Isaac admits that even himself who knows the secrets of yera and malfus can't figure out the purpose of the altar or the reason the Imperial Palace is hiding it Isaac orders no name to aim for the altar stating that the imperial palace's deepest secrets are hidden within and the attack will unveil them alteron notices this and noting the annoyance redoubles his attack at no name and orders all of the Titans to use all their power to eliminate the threat Leandro asks Isaac if he has another

plan and once the sorcerer confirms this he prepares to open a path dashing at querty and slashing the Titan's arm and sword off the third sword master attempts to punch Leandro but troen disables his left arm from afar meanwhile Isaac tells the confused skeleton to pierce the altar using his inventory before grabbing him by the collar and flinging him at the structure with all his strength he then thinks on how the altar can only be destroyed by something with ambiguous form that doesn't allow Mana to pass through it grateful for the presence of tropen and

vaen and certain that noname must succeed without his help Landing behind the Titans non name dashes towards the altar alteron looks on and calls Isaac a pawn of malfus prompting the sorcerer to coldly reply that he will witness his power soon enough glowing with dark power Isaac Rises into the air and fires a massive magical blast at Al Tyrion before summoning multiple magical chains at his command the chains wrap around eight Titans completely immobilizing them while the sorcerer's hair starts to turn white he sends the Titans flinging and starts coughing blood warning noname that he

won't hold on much longer noname then opens the inventory and shapes it as a spear preparing to throw it at the altar and certain that his companions won't last much longer the inventory hits a barrier in the middle of the arch shattering it and causing wind to gush out uncontrollably no name is sent flying across the room and the Titans collapse elsewhere a hooded man slams a table in frustration and orders for the Senate to be summoned and the Imperial troops to blockade the secret chamber in the chamber tropin watches in confusion at the collapsed

Titans and Isaac Falls head first to the ground while vaan looks exhausted suddenly a rift opens in front of the Altar and the ash Knight emerges from it a voice narrates how Leandro trembles when faced by the ash Knight certain that he will die if he fights him and planning to retreat he summons Miu but as the horse approaches the ash Knight swiftly decapitates it in front of a distraught Leandro fragments of his life flash before leandro's eyes including happy moments and the death of his mother father and Lawrence and the countless Adventures shared with

Miu looking at the horse's head vaan sheds tears before igniting with rage and power and then clashing with the Knight he continues to savagely hack at the being tears flowing from his eyes but the ash Knight blocks every blow Isaac asks no name if that's the Knight he spoke of and states that the thing has appeared to take care of screwed up causalities while uncertain as to why exactly the Knight is there he is certain that they have messed with the Forbidden causalities since the altars shouldn't have been opened at that moment in time he

thinks to himself that the alar only opened because no name escaped causality thanks to his regressions causing the Knight to appear and and concludes that he knows nothing anymore both decide to run and use Leandro as a sacrificial lamb but before they can escape the Knight finishes the Mary off they are left dumbfounded as they stare at vaan's corpse and while no name prepares to buy time for Isaac to figure out their next move the sorcerer suffers a breakdown stating that he doesn't know he is utterly perplexed and broken by the fact that he doesn't

know anything regarding the alter or the Knight let alone what will happen next seeing that Isaac has lost his will no name faces the Knight to buy time blocking his attacks troen covers him from afar and tells him to do something and the skeleton recalling Isaac's chains tries to bind him forging chains out of his inventory the plan starts to work as the chains wrap around the ash Knight's body noname is barely able to hold the ashite back and as tropen asks if he can't revive Leandro Isaac suddenly comes up with a plan adopting his

crow form he lands on the Marquees corpse and offers him as a sacrifice to malfus while noname and troen look on in shock Isaac receives his Lord's blessings and acquires immense power returning to his human form he supports non's efforts to contain the ash Knight and they succeed in trapping him in an inventory cage and shrink it the skeleton feels the Knight trying to break free being barely able to contain it and as they plan to escape Isaac offers to go into the inventory to buy them more time he states that he's able to share

his power with the skeleton due to having assimilated with the inventory and plans to use its power to isolate the Knight he goes on to explain that they are beyond the point of danger since if no name disappears due to being detected in the screwed up causalities after effect he won't regress anymore before Isaac can enter the inventory the ground begins to rumble a massive Mud Monster emerges from behind the altar easily dwarfing them and troen identifies it as the first Monster as mentioned in Kevin Ashton's book suggesting they try again in the next to

life as the creature thrashes about noname throws the inventory cage at it planning to have the ash Knight fight the the monster the Knight emerges from his prison but instead of fighting he opens a tear in reality and escapes through it leaving them alone with the monster the group begins to run away as the monster chases them and as debris blocks their path no name tells his companions to keep running while he pushes The Boulders away with the inventory the monster's hand descends on noname engulfing him as the others run away noname continues pushing the

barrier as the mud closes in around him relieved at seeing that tropen and Isaac manage to escape as Darkness descends he comments that he is finally one with it a story then unfolds where a dark silhouette wearing a crown fights and slays the apostles while accompanied by two people giving Humanity a fighting chance he continues to slay the monsters until his companion notes that many people have taken up arms and followed him into battle but only he can slay the apostles the silhouette is the noble King in irregular born alone he looks at a silhouette

resembling tropen and his other companion and treats him to take pleasure in slaughtering ing his enemies suddenly Isaac appears in the sky and turns white prompting the king to look in his Direction and stop tren's execution he reaches for the crow and as he grabs it his hand turns skeletal blue Windows warn of the decreasing assimilation rate informing no name that he is awoken from his dream while a voice calls him foolish the skeleton then wakes up in the third level of the secret chamber holding Isaac by the throat he releases the sorcerer unsure as

to what just happened and unable to fully remember the dream is lying on the ground equally confused and tells him that he tried to kill her and Isaac the skeleton begins to apologize and notices Isaac's white hair which the sorcer explains is due to him spending all his remaining magic power to wake him from his dream he then points at the monster behind the inventory remarking that it can attack them but not no name and concludes that the secret chamber the hero the knight's appearance and the monster are all related to him tropin asks about

their next step certain that the imperial family will take take measures after the monster destroyed the second level Isaac then guilt trips no name into atoning for almost killing them by acting as bait and leading the mud monster up and away from the area he plans to deal a blow to the Imperial family before teleporting to safety planning to use the monster's tremendous power to break the ru room stasis flasks before releasing the inventory barrier noname uses his skeleton Knight skills to summon Miu as his skeleton horse shocking both troen and Isaac as troen mounts

the Steed a blue window gives noname a brief description of the horse and its skills the skeleton then transforms into his night form and mounts Miu while Isaac perches on his shoulder and at his command the horse begins to gallop quickly with the monster in Pursuit Isaac smacks him urging him to go faster and they soon increase the pace they eventually reach the stasis chamber and as the monster pours inside it begins smashing the rum flasks Isaac plunges into one of them bathing in the substance while Cho and absorbs some through her weapon and noname

turns the inventory into a giant hand and uses it to to Splash rum onto himself and the horse the blue window informs him of the massive amount of the Apostles blood he's absorbed causing his assimilation rate to drop as he levels up and unlocks his next advancement into a death knight it then informs him of the class's benefits warning that he hasn't completed the advancement yet furthermore it lists the multiple benefits he has earned including the tomb of Ash VES quille star tetrabits controversy Yan's regret and bis's cold moon no name is is surprised at

the amount of benefits he has received and suddenly several Windows inform him of the points that he has plundered from the heroes that died when their flasks broke a voice narrates how no thought that he might be able to change the world without regressing with this amount of power being excited at the prospect Isaac is soaring beaming with power and sporting new cro Wings he thanks no name since his body is affected by changes on the skeleton's body after entering the inventory and notes that thanks to the r room he is almost at his original

strength or even stronger having recovered his power he decides to show what he is capable of and starts to teleport them to the Imperial estate before he can succeed however a blue window pops up above them for all of them to see informing that no name and his party have been stopped in place as they look at the window in Surprise and fear they see as the text changes stating that the skeleton has been stopped naturally before turning to troen it states that she regretted things at a later time and asks if she was interested

in the Imperial family's secrets and if she was grateful for her delayed death and enjoying her Ru room blood terrified she notes that something is wrong before beginning to disintegrate no name screams her name in horror and Isaac thinks to himself on how they've gone past the point of no return before yelling at the skeleton to end his own life he explains that they've messed up the causality too much and something is changing things and as he begins to disintegrate as well he wonders if it's too late he tells the skeleton to remember to find

the meaning of his existence and why he survived before it's too too late telling him to find the version of himself they met in his memory within the inventory the sorcerer then disintegrates leaving noname alone with a black Crystal and troin weapon a man and a woman materialize from the blue window before noname the woman is annoyed at the situation and comments that Isaac seems to have realized that they are there and it could influence things too much she brushes it off stating that it is none of their business and stability is more important and

the man states that he will fill the empty spaces with random things he then uses Authority and extraction beginning to absorb the black Crystal no name wonders what he was doing and what he needed to do feeling how his comrades and all their previous existences are being erased away as if they never existed in the first place no name admits that he was outplayed made mistakes and was arrogant and he had grown complacent believing that he would meet tropen and Isaac in his next life he never thought that he'd lose them so helplessly thinking only

about himself and his own safety he realizes that there is no guarantee that he will meet tropen Isaac ruia or Reena or any of the other people who are important and this life could be their last knowing this might be his last time as well he is determined to struggle for the last time the mud monster attempts to grab him by the foot but he shakes it off and descends from Miu wielding his great sword the woman notices him pointing and wondering why he's moving at all she then uses Authority and absorb depriving no name

of his sword energy and his basic stats before he can end his life causing his arms to break from the weight of the sword as he falls to his knees the woman continues to absorb several other skills leaving him powerless the man notices that no name hasn't vanished yet wondering if there's an error and reassuring himself that it will work out somehow before restarting as the darkness descends no name wonders if he has regressed or if it's the end feeling around until he realizes that he is inside of his coffin he pushes the lid open

and emerges at arist noting that the weather has changed from the past and he was unable ble to protect anything at all no name lies in his coffin on a starless night he falls backwards as he tries to stand wondering if his body was always that heavy and hard to move and feeling utterly powerless as he tries and fails to use the status window he falls to his knees in frustration furious at having taken everything for granted suddenly the window pops up revealing he has level one stats but retains the purchasability percentage of 96.7% as

well as the inventory checking the scenario he is relieved to see that the ruia scenario is still in progress and hopes that the girl is still alive he confirms that the items he placed in the inventory are still there but he's too weak to use the gear now he then decides to check if everyone else is still there certain through his instincts that troen and Isaac aren't completely gone and he is determined to take advantage of the chance they gave him his dialogue is cut short when three men appear from behind surprised at the fact

that he can speak one of the men slashes at the skeleton and he instinctively uses the inventory as a shield surpris surprised that it doesn't work as the blade crushes his skull he wakes up in his coffin once again angrily kicking the lid off and noticing that a few of Ashton's books are gone in deciding not to use the inventory for now he then rushes to the trees to hide from the incoming men as they approach he reveals himself and asks if they are loyal to the emperor determined to lie his way out of the

situation the men are confused at the situation but as they seem to buy the LIE he presses his luck and reveals to them that the emperor is in danger and someone must warn him one of the men points his sword at the skeleton and demands he explain himself properly else he kill him and his master though annoyed at the man's arrogance no name reveals Gil's plan to Ambush the emperor on the road the guard then asks how he got that information suggesting that he might be Gil's minion so he introduces himself as tropen Isaac a

vassel from a previous Lord of arist Ray Colton and a loyal subject upon hearing this the man beheads noname stating that arist has been under the rule of the Chandler family for the past four generations after reincarnating no name tries his story again stating that he is a vassel of the Chandler family making the men doubt and wonder why that powerful family would have a skeleton Soldier as a vassel and imagine for themselves that he was a loyal servant sent by the emperor and was thus discarded by the Chandlers relieved no name takes advantage of

the situation and expands the LIE stating that he escaped and was looking to inform someone of the Chandler's schemes the men then state that they were scouting The Roots ahead of The Emperor's journey and demand that no show them the Ambush site deciding to act like he can't help much he gives them vague terrain details and tells them that they must make their moves according to the fragments of his memory offering to lead them there and stating that they can kill him once they have solved the problem one man agrees and orders the rest to

report back to the guardpost he shackles the angered skeleton and orders him to move quicker and they finally arrive at the cave where noname first met Gils noname hopes to find the Necromancer there and remembers that he also crossed the caves with ruia hoping that the girl is safe no name and the soldier emerge onto the mountain path and a blue window informs noname that he has cleared the Labyrinth suddenly several blue Windows inform that the data on him has been damaged and attempts are made to restore it finally the window informs him that he

has cleared the tutorial and increased a scenario slot by one lowering his assimilation rate and granting him a random skill determined to start again noname begins to talk up the soldier complimenting his swordsmanship stroking his ego a blue window informs him that he now has higher chances to lie successfully and recognize lies they continue traveling for a while finally reaching the spot in the road where the Ambush would take place the soldier then grows suspicious at his attitude realizing that the skeleton is making them walk in circles and demanding that he tell him his true

objectives no name states that that is the destination and turning to face the man states that he used everything he could in order to avoid losing anything unnecessary for the second time he then falls to his knees and invokes gilay stating that he was sent by her from the future and warning her to not give up and walk the same dreams as lindor's son the soldier becomes enraged but before he can react Gil's bone tenle Sprouts from the ground and impales him as the Necromancer appears from behind noname tries to speak to her but Gils

shushes him noname hangs suspended by Gil's tentacles in the cave unable to speak after the Necromancer removed his jaw along with his limbs The Necromancer asks him if he knows where true fear comes from stating that it comes not from Death pain or despair but from the unknown replacing his jaw she wonders who no might be and how he knows her deepest desire admitting to feeling a slight sense of fear as Gils touches noname a blue window informs him that he has come into contact with powerful sorcery and has leveled up activating the number of

Destruction benefit raising his experience gain and allowing him to considerably raise his stats he attempts to speak with the Necromancer but she shushes him and says that she will be the one to judge a blue window informs him that the ex rank scenario saved Gils D has started and that Demon King Bago has granted him some skills for saving the Necromancer Gils then reassembles him in orders galout to look after him clarifying that he is not an enemy she then states that she must take care of Unfinished Business revealing that after reading the dead solders

memory she had to find and dispatch his colleagues and has found out that they reported what noname said to the guard poost The Necromancer turns to leave but before she departs no name tries to catch her attention by stating that he isn't a prophet and her assassination attempt cannot succeed he then reveals that he knows her plan in detail naming all five duah and stating that they will all die galout asks how he knows his name but after realizing that gills had said it rephrases the question and demands to know how he knows the other

duan's names confusing the skeleton noname then continues to recount what will happen including his meeting with the Starlight Blue Fox and The Ash Knight and his knowledge of lindorm he notes that Gil's timeline hasn't changed that much despite what what has happened and is annoyed at the foolish attitude of the duah when he describes the ash Knight after finishing the story a blue window informs him that his treacherous lies experience has increased and he has earned the nickname Storyteller and all stats have been increased by three no name is surprised at this since he didn't

lie which means that the world doesn't know about his past and the man and woman who erased Isaac and tropen also erased his history believing that convincing her might be even better now he decides to keep telling his past experience and states that Gils won't be able to collect the rewards of the assassination Gils asks no name if he knows what the reward for assassinating the emperor is and the skeleton Reveals His knowledge of the red flake and their refusal to assassinate the emperor due to their belief that it wasn't in line with their goals

as well as Gil's departure from the order to take the request he then tells her that she demanded complete authority to use Keystone commemoration and the obsidian Hill Park and galout confirms it all to be true having run out of facts no name begins to lie stating that she doesn't want those places only to make more subordinates but also because she is looking for something among the Forgotten Heroes he States his certainty that she didn't find any corpses there affirming that they are all hidden in the secret chamber of the Imperial Palace Gils is surprised

at this asking if he was there before in disbelief and he begins to list the heroes he found there in his previous life as proof with o Wayne recognizing the names The Necromancer asks for proof and nonim agrees to show her something thing if she promises not to take them from him surprising everyone The Necromancer agrees to this and releases the skeleton who after some stretching opens the inventory and begins to pull out some items looted from the secret chamber galout is surprised at seeing him seemingly pull items out of thin air being seconded by

the other duah while noname inwardly thanks Isaac for acquiring the items The Necromancer accepts the items as proof that no name was in the secret chamber and gout thanks him for showing them to him guio cuts the dullahan short short asking no name to tell her what happened in the secret chamber he tells her the whole story judging The Necromancer trustworthy enough and believing that the information gave him power Gil Sol listens closely while eating popcorn stopping him to ask who Isaac tropen and the T andt are gout quips in suggesting that he might be

talking about the troen Brigade whose founder tropen lazul died 300 years ago and Gils tells no name to continue as he mentions tropen Isaac and the black Crystal the D begin to behave strangely causing Gils to warn the skeleton to be careful when talking about those subjects she explains that she believes his words but a powerful barrier has been placed on their existence and any information concerning them they then discuss about whether this is a timeline where two important existences have been erased or the correct redefined timeline Gils then snaps her fingers and makes the

duah behave normally again proceeding to tell noname that she will help him to be able to absorb Essence again but will leave learning to absorb infinite abilities up to him this time however she states that before she does that she will perform a surgery and reaches for no name's face Gils transforms no name's body widening his field of vision and adding a few other touches a blue window informs him that he's obtained the ritual bones benefit which can be retrieved by The Necromancer and widens his vision also increasing his strength stamina agility and intelligence by

20 furthermore he's obtained the tentacle control skill which has several uses for attack and defense as well as grabbing items noname comments that he made the right choice looking for Gils and she thanks him for the compliments and tells him that she has enabled Essence absorption as the skeleton thanks her in kind she tells him that all her children are precious and asks if he has any questions about the changed world after he states that he has several questions he begins to inquire about arist rubia Reena and the TNT orphanage as well as Isaac and

the tropen brigade's current situation and everything else he needed to know Gil states that she will confirm this in Doak and he asks her about any information brokers in that area as she tells him that's a secret noname finally realizes that the information broker he met was also part of the red flake the skeleton then asks if she knows the connection between red flake and Kevin Ashton but she merely replies that they will have to know each other more for that no name realizes that they still aren't close in this life and The Necromancer tells

him that she will refer his questions to dollak but they won't share the information just because she is an ex- red flake member she then tells him that she's going to check if the hero graveyard is really empty determined to make them pay if they deceived her hence she's traveling to Amber to see the situation over there before the red flake retaliates noname then asks how she plans to transport her Army to Amber upon which she reveals that she used to have help from the merchant Union who were the middlemen for the emperor's assassination and

we close to the freedom Alliance Council noname realizes that she's going to reject the freedom alliance's request and get rid of the ones who made the request suddenly a mechanical bug enters the cave and both recognize it as belonging to the Starlight blue Fox meaning that she is still around the area Gils decides to contact her and no name notes to himself how close those two are while The Necromancer asks him if vaen won't come as the emperor won't be assassinated which the skeleton confirms noname then asks her where she's going now and is surprised

as she answers that she will walk to Amber using a forgotten path used a thousand years ago seeing the scattered bones noname asks if it's an underground grave and Gil states that she made the place herself asking him to follow quietly they reach a large chamber filled with Gil's Army of skeleton soldiers and her duah and as no name notes that the place looks like a dead end a red energy ball surrounded by scripture Rises into the air causing them to descend further down on a stone pillar noname wonders where that place is but gills

suddenly pushes him over the ledge noname cries out her name as he begins to fall noname screams as he continues to fall until a blue window pops up informing him that he is using the ritual bones benefit and tentacle control has been activated as the bone tentacles Sprout from his spine and latch onto the stone pillar the skeleton asks Gil what she is doing the Necromancer reveals that she was testing him expecting that he would be able to use that skill and urges him to descend the pillar by himself slowly noname descends like a spider

until finally reaching the cave floor a blue window informs him that he has recovered the bone Monarch skill and Gil notes that he's getting stronger by the moment wishing to push him even further No Name Is unnerved at that Prospect but she reminds him that he will come back even if he dies as he points out that she won't remain the same The Necromancer corrects him stating that she will remain in the world after he dies stating that she guesses if he were to die that world would disappear beckoning no name to follow Gil leads

the way as her Army of skeleton soldiers duah and giant skeletons follows close behind they soon reach an area lit by glowing mushrooms and gills confirms that it is the 1,000-year-old underground path to Amber no name asks if that is where Humanity lived while in hiding from the apostles surprising The Necromancer he then tells her of the other tunnels that he has visited in his past lives which she had no knowledge about and they realized that the tunnel system might span the entire Empire as noname suggests that she might like the things located in the

southern part of the Empire Gil merrily hugs him and thanks him for the information suggesting they go there together next time the skeleton is surprised at her attitude and a blue window notifies him that the supremacy over the Empire's underground scenario's cause and effect has been added causing him to believe Gils might accomplish it noname asks her how she knew of that route and she flirtingly replies that she might tell him if they become closer as they reach a fork in the tunnel noname asks Gil where she is taking such a large army to believing

it was going to be used for the final confrontation with the Imperial family she then tells a confused to No Name that she might get too rough if he's with her and orders all duah excluding gout to man managed the squads under their command as the Army prepares to rest Gils then orders galout to go with No Name by the side road to act as a detached force and open up the path excitedly she warns noname that it will be tough and that he might face unexpected enemies and that if he feels it's too hard

to proceed any further he can just die and come back to her once more no name is mortified at the prospect while galout thanks her wholeheartedly for the challenge the skeleton attempts to talk with the Necromancer but she simply tells him to meet her once again once he dies and to come back stronger as Gil departs the Army falls to the ground and wishes no name and gout good luck in their Endeavor the dullahan then merrily puts the uneasy Skeleton on his back and they begin their Journey sometime later no name is wondering why Gils

sent him on a different path wondering if she is testing him once again and determined to become stronger and avoid any more meaningless deaths opening the inventory he asks gout for help telling him not to kill whatever appears so he can become stronger he then pulls an artisan skeleton sword hilt called the second coming of the bone from the inventory while a blue window lists its qualities he places one of his bone spikes in the cross guard causing it to turn into the sword's blade and asks galout to fulfill his request to allow him to

kill all the foes in order to become stronger the treacherous lie benefit activates once again annoying no name but the dulahan is delighted by the request and praising his ambition agrees to help him become stronger while nearly killing him with a friendly pat on the back as the Knight picks him up the status window pops up revealing his stats and skills while he carries the Skeleton on his back galout explains to him that duah normally lose their ability to think when far away from their Master executing her orders mindlessly but this time he has retained

his Consciousness wondering if it is due to him he continues to state that he feels like he is fighting for his life with a comrade he met on the battlefield recalling that he has been on many battles and was called galout of the East due to his martial arts and way of speaking despite not actually being from the area the dulahan then goes on to explain that GS described the east as a land of demons who chase humans and would die without them often mixing around and imitating them or assuming the form of mundane objects

being able to predict the future no name doesn't comprehend it fully and neither does gout but he is certain that demons live off of humans and also live among them no name wonders if the Demon's continent would be conquered by The Demon King wondering if it would be a safe place to evacuate and believing ruia might be safer there his musings are cut short when he senses dark Forces up ahead jumping to his feet he stands guard in front of the dulahan who doesn't sense anything preparing to strike at the unknown presence he halts as

he sees it to be a small furry Gremlin holding a pickaxe the blue window informs no name that he is in a dungeon but doesn't reveal any more information he tries to open the status window on the gremlin but it fails to materialize and the creature begins to pick out some crystals the skeleton then warns galout to stand back since he doesn't know when the gremlin will strike but the dullahan warmly greets the creature and kneels next to it while asking where his friends are suddenly the tunnel becomes flooded with a lamp light revealing at

least a hundred other Gremlins one of them approaches galout warmly greeting him as a monster and shaking his hand no name wonders why they aren't attacking but the creature gleefully replies that they are all monsters and thus friends the gremlin states that he has no interest in gathering Darkness Moss or Quartzsite want to play with the newcomers the Gremlins approach and begin to ask several questions and one of them greets no name stating that he saw him before he arrived considering him interesting noname awkwardly thanks him and gout confirms that he is interesting prompting the

Gremlins to ask the skeleton to show them his talents with the dulahan eventually joining their plea sighing noname opens the inventory and stores the second coming of the bone inside causing the creatures to cheer in awe later as they all sit by a campfire no notes how strange all this feels having expected enemies within the dungeon one of the Gremlins explains that the demon realm is expanding through tunneling putting moss and causing the fog to grow thicker another Gremlin explains that they came from the demon realm through the pond hole near their house which began

to Bubble Up galout comments on how they don't seem to be enemies and the skeleton believes they got lucky inwardly wondering if the demon realm is starting an invasion through the pond hole one of the Gremlins tells no name to ask anything and when prompted reveals that the yellow rocks piled behind them are quartz sites which make the whole bubble even more galout then asks what good comes from expanding the fog and they reveal that it helps them trap and kill humans for later consumption also asking who they serve no name is confused but the

gremlin states that they serve murmur and repeats the question insisting that they must serve him as well the skeleton recalls that it is the demon king of possession also known as the skin plunderer and asks why they serve him they then identify as vapula zagon ferus GOP and Bago and soon fight among themselves over never seeeing Bago no name concludes that the Demon King's bodies can't cross into their realm probably due to the dimensions boundary believing that only weak demons such as Gremlins might cross he notes that murmur puts quartzites and darkness moss in the

Sulfur Spring ferus digs the Earth vapula plants the grass and go would imprint the picture of wings on the cave walls one of the Gremlins then tells noname and gout to decide telling them that if they don't join them they should go back or they must die turning Sinister the gremlin start chanting serve Lord murmur and engrave the seal in unison screaming that it would be an honor for their guests as they leap to attack sighing no name comments on how he thought things were going too smoothly as he prepares to fight no name slashes

at the Gremlins but fails to do any damage galout then steps in using Circle barrier and pushing the monsters back while they discuss murmur powers of possession the Gremlins finally break through the the barrier and despite expressing some reluctance the dulahan begins to slay them by the Dozen while he continues fighting several blue Windows inform noname that his experience is going up despite not being the one doing the killing realizing this the skeleton tells glout there is no need to hold back much to the dlan's Glee he also notices that the dulahan hasn't lost his

Consciousness because Gils put him in his unit linking their magic and allowing him to see the status window grateful for this he decides to divide his stats and plunges into combat slashing at the Gremlins until they start to swarm and overwhelm him seeing this galout warns noname to drive his sword into the ground before using Circle barrier again pushing the creatures against the cave wall the Gremlins become more muscular and the dulahan notes that they seem to be gradually becoming stronger and as no name notes how hard this path was gout dashes into combat stating

that they will meet again once they survive as noname and gout continue to fight the Gremlins the skeleton increases his agility stat activating his bonus slashing at several creatures before they begin to swarm him again and red Windows warn him of his decreasing stamina putting points into strength noname continues to fight while trying to focus with a ghostly Duke Lawrence telling him to focus on his sword Aura the skeleton focuses on the tip of his sword noting that he is distracted by his thoughts about the past and those who sacrificed themselves for him and immersing

himself into combat soon his stamina drops significantly and his sword breaks but he regrows the tip using one of his bone spikes and Contin to fight a blue window informs no name that his sword skill has been restored to level one and that his bonuses will considerably augment his experience points raising his skill by another level as the dust settles an exhausted noname crouches amidst the dismembered bodies of the Gremlins his blade covered in Gore as galout looks in astonishment the status window informs no name that his stamina strength and Agility have increased while his

stamina continues to decrease due to the agility bonus as the dullahan Praises his combat prowess no name search the inventory for restoring items but notes that he is still too weak to use them galout then asks him if he killed all the Gremlins but no name turns in distress at the statement and asks him to take it back as the gremlin corpses rearrange themselves into a massive creature the dulahan apologizes and no name tells him to refrain from such comments in the future as the monster begins to attack gout tries to slash at it but

his blade becomes stuck and the monster punches him Square in the chest sending him flying through the tunnel noname Dodges a second punch and slashes at the creatur's arms before dashing to outflank it deciding to face it alone while ordering galout to search for an exit even as he says that no name notes his low stamina and realizes he will die if he is struck a single time noname continues to slash and Dodge the monster's attacks reaching sword skill level three as his stamina continues to decrease meanwhile galout stands still and unleashes tendrils of his

Essence across the tunnel system searching for the exit detecting a trap protect detecting an altar with a detailed pattern that no name recognizes as an astronomical chart the skeleton asks him to show him the alter's location and the dullahan tells him to follow his sword as the blade flies through the air gout then grabs the creature's leg and tells no name to use the chance as he fights it barehanded as he holds the monster back noname reaches the Altar and sees the Demon King's astrological chart restoring his trap wisdom skill noting that changes to the

Chart will affect the magic he recalls seeing such patterns while in the Demon King's Service and recognizing murmur symbol he stabs it with his sword a wave of energy sends noname and the shattered sword flying at the monster's feet but the creature instantly vaporizes leaving nothing but Gremlin bones behind a blue window then informs him that he's cleared murmur mind and leveled up earning some points and causing him to note the scarce reward much to gal's confusion suddenly purple Windows appear informing him that the Demon King's gopp and vapula are watching him and a blue

window not notifies him of a drop in the assimilation rate as an ominous presence watches him through a portal a blue window then shows information on his Warrior points and notifies him that his purchase ability is at 97.5% non name and Gils discuss their next step as the dulahan notes that they don't know what magic they might face a green tear in reality appears before them causing the skeleton to gasp in frustration a voice insults murmur and his failure as a dwarf riding a gray wolf emerges from the tear wearing a brimming smile causing both

noname and galout to look in confusion as the dwarf continues to State how murmur and the Gremlins have lost their territory the skeleton notes how he gives off an imposing pressure suggesting an entity must be backing him and believing they should run before he can signal gout a giant bat approaches and perches himself on the ceiling blocking the exit with its wings it comments that he believed the skeleton was a subordinate of the dulahan and notes his improving swordsmanship until the dwarf tells him to get lost and claims the dungeon as his own the bat

brushes him off stating that his master simply wished to know of No Name swordsmanship skills the skeleton looks on perplexed as the two have a standoff and the dwarf notes that his swordsmanship isn't important compared to the fact that he has destroyed murmur seal unwilling to believe the bat's claims the bat meanwhile states that noname couldn't possibly know how to break the seal calling it a coincidence while the dwarf disagrees galout asks them who they are and the dwarf introduces himself as nael a scouter looking for promising buling who ranks 157 in the demon realm

no name Compares him to Patrick ARR of the TNT but notes that he doesn't look like a blind follower and possesses Authority nael then notes that while he was initially interested in galout he was surprised to find no name as well the bat asks for the douan and the dwarf refuses causing them to argue again until glout asks if they were there to recruit him which they confirm napel then offers 2,000 Kuna in advance while unleashing two green butterflies which land on their Palm as a blue window informs no name that the currency possesses the

promise of the demon king and that his assimilation rate has dropped the bat asks if nael isn't exaggerating but the recruiter insists and states that they should begin the BET as they have received payment he asks them to State who sent them telling them that they must serve the entity backing him if they answer incorrectly the butterflies then turn into a ball and chain once they land on noname and gal's wrists and the Duan rejects the question as impossible and considers the recruiter ridiculous nael then threatens him causing the dulahan to become enraged as he

summons his sword and the bat notes that he has yet to reveal full power galout reassures noname telling him that he will deal with the dwarf to buy noname time and preparing to die but the skeleton dissuades him stating that he has a good idea noting the purple Windows noname sees the emotional state of the Demon King's GOP and vapula and notes that he has a 50% chance of success as he recognizes the Master's knppel and the bat Serve by their eye color as the dwarf insists that they decide noname asks if he only carries

2,000 kuna considering it too low a price for them he states that he wishes to bet not only his life but also gouts considering the price too cheap the douan begins to question his decision but noname insists that he be patient and wait for the plan to unfold the bat agrees and tosses 4,000 crun a coin to the floor and raising the pot to 6,000 the bat and app will stare at noname who drags things along until they run out of patience and then states that the dwarf follows gopp the demon king of the present

and the bat follows vapula the demon king of the seasons as both recruiters stare in confusion no name reaches for the coin and the bat states that he can take it purple Windows notify him that GOP is laughing due to shock and vapula commends him for his move but is upset that he couldn't tell him about himself first believing the demon kings are unaware that he knows their feelings he decides to press his advantage nael is shocked at the defeat but the bat quickly offers them to walk the path of martial arts with him peing

G's interest the creature offers to show them numerous martial arts and despite no name refusing the offer the douan seems to be wavering as the bat continues to praise vula power nael intercedes and offers them the ability to ride any creature they desire if they receive gop's blessing pressing his luck noname asks if they will also provide training for riding those creatures and as the dwarf takes the bait he asks if the animals must be purchased with kuna the bat then intercedes and denies this stating that there is only a temporary auction house and the

products are trash causing nael to argue with him once again noting that they don't have anything resembling the treasures he got from the secret chamber he asks them if there are other demon Kings on their way up such as Ball but they explain that he is still busy fighting in the demon realm nael then adds that gopp is coming to the human realm to annoy the other demon Kings disregarding the bat's concerns over his statements a purple window reveals gopp is angry at the recruiter for speaking out of line while vapula laughs at the situation

and nael continues to state that ball won't be interested in them since he has enough strong followers already he then insists on his offer and a purple window informs No Name That GOP waits for his answer after some pondering noname states that he will accept the offer on the condition that he has a contract directly with the Demon King no name is certain that Isaac had a direct contract with Brody Baldo in his previous life and wishes to obtain the Demon King's power enraged at the skeleton's arrogance nael prepares to attack him while stating that

he won't leave alive without a contract noting his low stamina no name Ponders the situation believing it would be more effective to start over again rather than be captured by a demon king suddenly the cave begins to rumble and the bat states that it is just the beginning pointing at the astronomical chart rushing to escape nael releases noname and galout the the bat identifies himself as Lucas telling them to come find him later if they change their mind before fleeing as well the symbol of the third Demon King Bago begins to Glow even brighter and

galout wonders if anything happened to Gils revealing to a surprised no name that he hasn't felt her magic since joining his party no name recognizes the glow as a sign that bag's influence is getting stronger but refuses to believe gills has died he then wonders in disbelief if the Necromancer transferred galout to him which is confirmed when he checks the dulahan status window the blue window then informs him the improvements to the Bone Monarch bonus including the ability to repair bones and his capacity to control galout he then asks the warrior to tell him his

status and as he correctly detects his critical condition and a lack of stamina noname confirms that gills transferred control to him galout Ponders on this and as noname reassures him about the Necromancer safety the warrior accepts him as his Commander noname then tries out the physical transformation trait of the bone Monarch restoring the dulahan strength and armor galout merily Pats him on the back causing him to fall to the ground in pain as a red window warns him of his low stamina the skeleton then uses the bone Monarch tentacles and physical transformation to absorb the

gremlin bones fully restoring his stamina he then concludes that Gils sent them there to grow and prepare for the upcoming dangers and galout accepts the necromancer's decision believing he sent him along because of her trust in him he then refers to noname as temporary Lord before the ladder urges him to call him friend instead as the two continue down the tunnel noname and galout continue down the tunnel with the skeleton using his bone tentacles to feel his way around in the dark a blue window informs him that his detection skill has been restored and his

senses have improved causing the tunnel to become more visible galout also sees this sharing his master's heightened senses as they move on noname comes across a vein of Quartzsite and decides to go further down the tunnels they finally come across the sulfur Pond the Gremlins talked about as as the skeleton approaches it a purple window warns him that murmur is using the spring as a medium to get revenge on him so he decides to bypass the spring and carry on galout is surprised that a demon king would expand his territory to such a small pond

but no name notes that even a bowl of water can be used to widen a dimensional Gap revealing that he leared that from Isaac they eventually emerge from the tunnel and see a large river no name wonders if he will have to jump in but galout notices a battered ship with tattered sails approaching from the the Mist he trembles believing it to be a ghost ship but a voice corrects him and notes that he is the ghost at first they wonder if the ship just talked but a hobbit with an ore emerges from it and

introduces himself as the captain the only person who has crossed the river of the Demon World he asks for a fee of 3,000 Kuna in advance for the trip galout notes that they will be left with no kuna after a round trip and no name wonders to himself if he got scammed before asking if the auction house is across the river the captain confirms this and then offers a 1,000 cruna discount so that they still have money to spend at the auction house setting the price at 5,000 kuna after some back and forth he finally

asks for 3,000 kuna for a round trip urging them to go quickly no name believes he is getting scammed but as he starts to agree a mysterious figure appears stating that isn't right the cloaked Blindfolded man states that the captain would benefit more if the soul that rides the ship is purer the thus the earnings and expenses don't match and asks no name to confirm it noname is surprised at his failure to sense the stranger the man then suggests a fee of 10,000 kuna for transporting him the skeleton and galout but after the captain agrees

he clarifies that it is the captain who should pay he implies that it would be Troublesome if Ares kagal heard that the ship under the captain's care was being used for fraud demanding the money as payment for his silence the captain becomes enraged at the threat raising his or and commanding the ship to come alive no name notes that he must have a backer and the captain threatens The Stranger back but the man suddenly appears behind to the captain much to everyone's surprise he extends four arms into the waters noting that there aren't any demonic

monsters in the valley of evil words and that the Gap in the dimension hasn't reached that area yet he also believes that he along with no name and galout might be enough to block the captain's ore and damage the boat the man then approaches the captain and menacingly threatens to tell on him if he keeps being annoying using magic to fold a paper plane and suggesting he should send it to Ares kagal right away scared the captain relents and ushers everyone on board as they are crossing the river no name wonders if the stranger is

really human and comparing him to Isaac and wondering if the sorcerer might have known who he was galout extends his hand to the stranger thanking him for getting them a free fairy ride but the man laughs and states that they must pay him the 10,000 kuna 3,000 for the fair and 7,000 for the information galout protests but the man insists that he doesn't have to be paid right now but it would be best to pay for the information in the long run no name agrees with him and proceeds to pull out a golden coin from

his inventory but before he can offer it the man grabs his hand wondering where he got the coin from he then Pats down the uncomfortable skeleton with his forearms surprised that he didn't see the coin before until galout calls him Rude the man swiftly apologizes stating his Fascination before returning to the matter of the information fee he tells the skeleton that it will take 2 days to complete the journey but despite what the captain might suggest there are no demonic beasts in the water yet since the gap between the dimensions is relatively new furthermore The

Stranger tells them that the ship doesn't allow Souls on board to be exchanged for another meaning that if he were to throw them overboard he would not be able to pick up more passengers for some days no name thanks him for the information and the man retires to rest later the man meditates and glout trains with his sword while no name decides to read some of the Ashton books in his inventory opening a military history book of the 7th Century he sees Isaac's name no name is surprised to see a story of Isaac in this

world the book deals with the sorcerer's military accomplishments in the 7th Century implying that traces of the previous World remain in this one and causing the skeleton to wonder whether Kevin Ashton exists there as well galout approaches him and finds him strange for reading a book and then asks if he likes to read fiction the dulahan points out to a confused noname that the gagon volcano is actually the largest Plains in the Empire which causes the skeleton to develop the theory that traces of the previous world's history survived the changing World stored in the inventory

being another space transcending that Dimension no name believes that valuable people can also be kept in the inventory like he did with Isaac and wonders if the treasures he stole from the secret chamber are no longer in the world gout then remarks that his name appears in the book as well describing him as a mercenary leader no name then asks the dullahan about his life's story which he gladly begins to talk about he was a southern warlord under Lord Hazel in the war between the Empire and the South and was poisoned at a dinner hosted

by the Lord before the last fight since the ruler had decided to surrender to the Empire galout remarks how similar the novel is to his story and no name Comforts him the skeleton notes how the flow of the story is similar despite the changing characters and a blue window informs him that his knowledge of galout has increased and that the dullahan has 3.7% of lingering regrets and will cease to exist once those are gone the stranger appears behind the startled pair floating Over the Sea and commenting on no name's book noting that Kevin Ashton only

records facts despite this seeming to be an altered historical book The Skeleton wonders if the stranger existed in the previous world too noting that he knows a lot about the human world despite apparently hailing from the demon realm when asked about his identity the man replies that he is just a passer by and offers a deal if the skeleton tells him what he wants to know about Ashton he will tell him something he is curious about no name then tells him about the effect of Ashton's books which The Stranger confirms and the skeleton lists the

Ashton books he's read so far including the obscene one this surprises the stranger due to its subject matter and he asks to see the volume not having it with him no name pulls several other books to show him and the man gratefully promises payment before quickly reading them using multiple heads and arms he finds the books the skeleton surprising and notes how hard it is to find Ashton's books no name then comes up with another hypothesis namely that since he took hundreds of Ashton books from the secret chamber these would have disappeared from the next

World and can only be read by him the stranger then tells him that there are discarded truths in the world such as the varying number of demon Kings implying that there are scars in the world revealing the changing worlds in gratitude for No Name showing him the book The Stranger reveals that the scare are in the Frozen north of the Empire at the ends of the east side across the ocean and the Western desert the skeleton asks for more detail but the man replies that it is troublesome since half the human world should have been

eroded no name is surprised at this stating that the Descent of the demon Kings is 10 years away but the surprised stranger explains that the East is already eroding with Wars and drought and that there is at best 2 years left before the demon Kings descend no name is surprised at this Revelation and the stranger warns that crossing the demon realm is hard and he should at least wear armor mocking his nakedness getting serious he advises him to prepare for what he might face in order to survive even beyond the demon realm and the auction

house he then prepares to take his leave thanking the skeleton for the information and telling him to never turn back since the way back will be blocked and there will be no place to depend on the man then floats away and tells the captain to take them to the river before Vanishing into the Mist leaving the complaining Captain and the confused pair behind noname and gout think about the stranger's final warning and its possible meaning finding it too complicated to understand the dulahan then resumes training and noname decides to expand on his knowledge reading the

books shocked by the stranger's words noname realizes he will have to face even stronger enemies in the future and hoped for the man's help he then decides to resume training with the inventory window and after some effort manages to compress it for some time before it reopens spilling some items he realizes that he has a long way to go to reach his previous Mastery and decides to try again while storing the spilt gear he picks up an item called proliferating bone which must be stabbed into the chest of an undead Warrior One controls to increase

its power warning that the warrior might surpass its owner's power no name wonders if he might need it believing it will provide good armor and stabs himself in the chest after a few seconds the item begins to act and Bone starts to expand from it enveloping noname and causing him excruciating pain he endures the torment determined to become stronger and despite finding it more painful than his deaths he knows he needs to evolve the ship arrives at the demon realm and upon disembarking galout comments on how Dreadful it is before noticing no name's new appearance

the skeleton now sporting new bone armor as well as a Red Cloak states that it is best to be prepared since they are in the demon realm he has increased his intellect through reading the Ashton books and acquired new skills in the process as they travel Under The Blood Red Sky galout notices the soft ground strin texture and no name confirms that it will be like that from now on which he knows since he is from the demon realm he explains that the ground itself has vitality and if one steps on it it increases the

strength of even weak demonic beasts it also senses humans and top demons can even use it to kill their enemies noname notes how there is no hostility and wonders why the white Hood told them to never turn back pondering on the subject he wonders if there is danger around Gils but brushes it off since she is under under the protection of basaga one of the top demon Kings and he believes that none would mess with her remembering Isaac's advice to not speculate hastily eventually gout notices an advancing force of creatures which quickly surrounds them he

and noname stand back to back wanding as to the creature's intentions when a purple window informs noname that murmur is trying to get revenge the skeleton believes that the Duan can easily deal with the monsters but instead orders him to stand down and analyze as he takes them on personally galout protests but as noname insists that he must try out his armor the warrior relents un sheathing his bone sword and using the inventory as a weapon noname jumps into The Fray the inventory fails to kill a creature so he finishes it off with a punch

and he continues to fight other monsters with his fists and repairing any damage with his bone spikes finishing off the last creature with his sword the dullahan Praises his skill and then asks if he didn't mark the place pointing to a conquest marker on the ground confused no name sees the sign and realizes that it marks the location of the auction house no name looks at the marker and tries to figure out where the entrance might be suddenly the sign splits in two and a giant mall with eyes emerges from below and a small clown

performs a summers salt from the mall and lands before noname and gout when questioned about his identity the clown elaborately refuses to answer and states that the mall is the entrance to the auction house and they won't enter unless they have kuna regardless of their action no name shows him his kuna and the clown directs him to put his arm in a living wall that collects the admission fee and acts as an identification machine linked to the demon Kings when the skeleton asks if they must pay separately the clown explains that they must go in

together or else they might lose some limbs if the gate closes prematurely noname then puts his hand through the wall and the gate's eyes turn to cruna signs as a counter begins to rise everyone looks in Surprise and disbelief and a blue window in informs noname that the recluse Demon King malus's favor has been converted into 77,78 kruna a purple window then explains that malus is shocked by no name not recalling having given him his favor despite him having his circuits carved on his bones and has decided to make him his sole representative on the

human world paying him for his Services a blue window then confirms that he is received 777777 Kuna and has joined malus's faction bringing his total to 8615 54 kuna the clown screams in shock and surprise and no name wonders if Isaac's spell still affects him in this life recalling the sorcerer's past Deeds including introducing him to malfus he realizes that despite being gone Isaac's actions still affect this world through him in panic the clown apologizes to noname for failing to recognize him not expecting to find malus's representative given the the demon Kings in activity apologizing

again and adopting a more formal speech he guides them through the gate glout asks the skeleton about what just happened and becomes annoyed when he merely replies that it is complicated but no name notes that the dulahan wouldn't be able to hear the truth even if he told him the clown welcomes them to the auction house and transforms into a more menacing form introducing himself as Kia Keeper of the auction house he then summons chairs from the living ground which Usher them forward towards an array of weapons a officially presenting to them the auction house

of the Demon World Kia invites noname to have a look at the weapons stating that they are low caliber items and the skeleton confirms that appraisal using detection the clown promises that better items will arrive soon but the skeleton is only interested in knowing whether he will come out at the opposite end if he crosses the auction house finding him peculiar Kia tells him that he will have to pass the other demon Kings areas regardless of the path but no one would defy him if he revealed his position as malus's sole representative he offers to

accompany them stating that the auction house is too small for his skills being one of the seven Eternal roots from the lineage of gluttony as noname and gout prepare to leave Kia tells them to look around some more revealing that highquality items will arrive from the eroded demon realm since Gil and her Army are about to be exterminated hearing this no name pins Kia to the wall and tells him to explain himself and the demon reveals that she is coming there from a different Road through an eroded area area and the fighting has already started

the skeleton is surprised that someone would attack a representative of Bago but the clown tells him that the Demon King himself oversees the hunt finding it amazing noname releases Kia refusing to believe it but the demon insists that his information is true galout suggests that they return to the boat but the clown tells them that it is too late since the boat must have left already and Pago's priests have already started the Hunt No Name then asks if there is a way to get there growing impatient and enraged with Kia's elusive answers acknowledging the skeleton's

show of power the clown reveals that the auction house lies within the chewing bug aligos containing several of its babies within including a toothless one named Skittles the swallowing bug which can only swallow and spit out as no name grows ever more impatient Kia suggests that they use the bug to get there after paying 20,000 kruna noname travels through Skittles and a blue window informs him that he's acquired Transit Dental speed and recovered Dash removing the skill's time limit and increasing its speed skeel spits no name and gout safely at their destination and no name

is surprised that the Duan was able to hear his thoughts galout asks if he didn't call him through the connection and a blue window informs noname that he has awakened the location verification skill and has attained bone Monarch level three realizing this he uses the connection to instruct galout to lead the way but the warrior doesn't notice and complains about feeling bad the skeleton realizes that he can't transmit his thoughts yet but he can deliver what he feels trying again the dulahan recognizes this command method and begins dashing away while a blue window informs noname

that he has acquired bone Monarch level four as the two dash forward hoping to reach Gils in time The Necromancer is shown to be wounded but alive one of Gil's skeleton soldiers Falls shattered before her enraged she laments the loss of her men while Bago priest coldly states that they can't be SLO obeying bag's order and that she would lose her Necromancer Powers if they cut her hands and feet Gils furiously retorts that killing her won't make him bag's representative again since he wasn't replaced but discarded causing the horned creature to furiously Usher his demons

forward to finish her off the four duah charge forward determined to defend their mistress to the last man and cutting a path of Carnage coldly gills Ponders on her attacker's remarks considering him unintelligent and determined to make him pay for his careless words as she gathers Mana the horned demon laughs at her seemingly pointless Defiance considering her troops to be useless corpses already Gill snaps her fingers causing Dark Energy tendrils to Spring forth among the enemy monsters before turning into blades and slaying several of them as she coldly remarks that they are corpses if you

make them her eyes glowing purple with power gills calmly walks forward as her tendrils continue to spike any nearby monsters telling her adversary not to run telling him that he should see what he started to the end the horned demon looks on coldly bursting into laughter as the Necromancer steps onto some writings he explains that she stepped into a trap and Gils is revealed to be standing in the middle of a giant seal realizing her situation Gils insults the demon as the seal activates and inflicts pain on her as the priest explains that it is

forcing a contract upon her intended to oppress her and collect all her Necromancer powers for Bago turning them into a a curse as the curse begins to burn her skin the demon continues to taunt Gils and her vanity and scream that Bago will claim what is his urging her to submit the werewolf accompanying the demon then tells her that Bago has given up on their relationship to collect her considering it in honor since even the other demon kings are attacking her not finding it funny Gil asks if the Demon King can block her before throwing

an energy ball at the horned demon he easily blocks it with a force field but his mocking is cut short as he is sliced in half by a dark figure the werewolf sees this in shock before a pair of armored hands strangle him from behind so hard that his eyes pop out noname and gout stand over the two corpses chastising them for trying to steal Gil's power Gils stumbles forward greeting the pair and stating that he is more than she expected while barely being able to stand noname is alarmed at this and tells her to

conserve her strength while they hold the monsters off he orders galout to protect the Necromancer before plunging into battle while the other duah join the fry as well the horned demon and the Werewolf Return To Life surprised at what happened and Order every remaining creature to attack at once noting Gil's critical condition noname is determined to end the battle quickly but it's surprised to see nael and Lucas standing on a nearby Hill urging him to flee and stand with them recalling kani's warning about things starting he wonders if he referred to that battle the horned

demon charges at him asking if he serves gills but is intercepted by The Necromancer before he can strike piercing his chest with her bare fist she screams that he can't lay a finger on them before unleashing a powerful attack and blowing him up Gils collapses in non name's arm noting that the demon wasn't the one who cursed her a blue window informs him that he is experiencing a unique scenario as a transcendental level of magic is being focused on Gils causing him to recover his sorcery knowledge and his assimilation rate to drop no name realizes

that the spell is being cast from the necromancer's own body and Lucas comments on how Bago worked on it for a long time surprised that she managed to conceal her condition and eliminate the leader and considering her capable of aiming for the Demon King's role noting her hidden Powers no name is surprised at this recalling the stranger's words about the discarded truths and Lucas considers her to be too strong to the point that Bago will deal with the side effects of killing his contractor considering it better for that side despite a purple window telling him

that malfus advises him to retreat since they must have a good reason no name refuses to leave Gils to her death The Necromancer ly laughs considering that this is too small and wondering if this is bag's extent trying to kill her when the demon realm was open since his position was threatened advancing she screams at Bago stating that despite claiming to be the monarch of the dead he lives for the Dead's Grudge she then comments on the paradoxical nature of the demon realm despite having offered to Pioneer the first erosion since those who call themselves

demon kings are getting pushed around by the top demon Kings and have agreed with Bago to attack her wondering if they were promised to seat among the demon Kings she states that they should be ashamed of calling themselves superior to the demon race a blue window informs No Name That lingering attachments have turned to anger increasing his combat power and as lingering feelings have been reduced the duah have become extinct and cannot Rise Again The Warriors charge forth and the Lesser demon Kings rise to meet them Nao tells noname that he will fight for a

while but they should leave causing the skeleton to slash at him stating that gills is telling the truth the dwarf then states that if it were they might have woried her and Lucas adds that it would have been so if she hadn't tried to awaken the lindworm and the Forgotten dragons no name thinks on this but is stabbed in the chest by nael spear and a voice asks if he is still confused The Voice continues to taunt him and noname suddenly sees Isaac floating above him the sorcerer states that he isn't in that world being

a lingering illusion in his mind telling the skeleton to use him to overcome his inability to use the inventory telling him to recall the times he used the the inventory in combat and his desire to protect and be stronger he states that no name has power urging him to wake up and use it a blue window informs no name that he has recovered Enlightenment as the proliferating bones repair his body blood pouring from his eye socket another blue window informs him that sword energy has returned as the blade begins to Glow warning that at that

skill level the weapons can be destroyed the skeleton then summons the inventory coating it with a barrier and ordering it to cover the sword facing the monsters unleashes wave after wave of inventory strikes faing several creatures with every swing of his blade as Isaac's illusion congratulates him before Vanishing alone he lets out a harrowing war cry no name continues to decimate the monster Army as Gil watches on noting his prowess she announces that she prepared another gift as she amasses a huge concentration of Mana announcing that she won't die because of Bago she absorbs the

energy while revealing it to be the dragon's power unleashing a sea of purple flames and incinerating all nearby troops as ad dullahan ceases to exist a lesser Demon King orders their troops to kill noname to stop his Rampage but he is soon cut down his Brethren attempt to strike at the skeleton from above but their strikes are deflected by the barrier before being slain and turn no name stands alone amidst the corpses of his foes and turns to see Gils collapsing to the ground calling her name in alarm Napo suggests that he and Lucas withdraw

and the bat agrees no name reaches Gils holding her in his arms and The Necromancer wakes up explaining that the strength of the Dragon was enough to destroy all curses spreading through her body she hands the skeleton her knives instructing him to use them and absorb as much Essence as he wants stroking his cheek and telling him to get stronger and return as her eyes close one final time no name kneels alone next to Gil's corpse a blue window informs the skeleton that his leadership skill has increased allowing him to command 150 lives and acquiring

the death squad property no name babbles incoherently before striking at the ground in frustration screaming at his failure to protect gills he then smashes his head on the ground berating himself as an ignorant stupid and incompetent piece of trash he manages to smash his skull but the proliferating bone skill repairs the damage having failed to end his life that way he grabs his sword and runs it through his chest the tip breaking against his spine failing once more he berates himself for being unable to end his own life he then begins to absorb Gil's Essence

unwilling to state that he will protect her or become stronger due to his incompetence he then uses bone tentacles to absorb the essence of all surrounding entities blue Windows begin to stack up notifying him that he has acquired the rare Sprint child skill allowing him to choose which skills he'd like to absorb no name doesn't want to choose anymore telling whatever entity controls the Blue window that it doesn't matter since he will just return to that path and die over and over red Windows warn him that he is absorbing too much Essence and urge him

to select a power undaunted no name doesn't heed the warnings and the proliferating bone reacts to this and hardens his body after exceeding the absorption limit no name is left kneeling Essence oozing from his eyes as he states that he will survive as no name's chest wound heals he's determined to have a clear purpose he knows that regardless of his actions Gils will probably die again noting that she has already lost Pago's favor he vows to look into how the Demon King targeted her leaving The Necromancer behind noname addresses malus and asks him to send

him to the real demon realm the purple window informs him that malfus refuses considering it dangerous but the skeleton insists after another attempt he deduces that malus is similar to Isaac and offers him some of the treasure from the secret vault much to the Demon King's Delight raising his happiness level by 10 a blue window informs no name that his sorcery skill has been restored his appraisal skill has increased and he's leveled up surprising the skeleton malfus sees his impure intentions in offering the jewels but no name insists that it is a mutually beneficial contract

The Demon King asks if he must go no matter what and as the skeleton confirms this a dark presence descends around him and asks if it doesn't matter which method he uses he soon finds himself before the demon Kings and insists on going with malfus warning that he won't be able to protect him unabated noname reaffirms his decision and malus accepts before departing nael then appears before the kneeling skeleton no that he has been waiting all day and informing the skeleton that he won't be protected by malfus any longer he explains that being a follower

of Gils he will be locked up in a demon prison causing a noname to wonder whether that was malus's plan or the Demon King just tossed him aside noname activates the requested lie benefit using his invoking Storyteller title and applies his wisdom nael Comforts him saying that prison is worse than the death penalty and that malfus saved the honor of the other demon Kings through his action stating that he could eventually join Go's command under his recommendation if he kept a low profile noting that the recruiter is ahead of him in terms of information and

ability he decides to make the best of his benefit and thanks him for still trying to recruit him despite his failure and nael takes the bait no name removes his armor and gear and stores it in the inventory and nael thanking him for his cooperation leads him on the recruiter tells him that he would normally travel to prison with aligos after suffering magic torture but he has decided to avoid that in order to not destroy his mind and collaborative Spirit he then claps his hand and tells noname that he is letting him go without pain

and the skeleton soon finds himself lying on the floor in a white cell within the demon realm's prison blue Windows inform no name that he is under the influence of a curse reducing his omnipotence willpower vision and authority and blocking his skills as well as reducing his abilities by 97.5% the skeleton manages to open the inventory and a blue window informs him that interference will be nullified having been offset by a higher level the stat redu uction slowly begins to decrease restoring non name's mobility and he notes that his stats have increased considerably standing up

he pulls the second coming of the bone from the inventory and breaks one of his bone growths to use it as a blade but fails to attach it he notes that he is still too weak and as he picks the bone fragment from the ground he notices a scorpion-like creature wearing a samurai hat on the cell across the hallway the creature confirms that he is another prisoner and is surprised at finding a normal skeleton in jail he asks noname if he plans on slipping through the bars laughing when the skeleton is repelled by a barrier

and denoting how wellb built the prison is no name touches the barrier again and his arm is repelled with such force that it descent flying across the room but his proliferating bone skill quickly grows a new one he then charges at the barrier repeatedly being repelled each time and believing that there must be a way out since malus sent him there the Scorpion monster asks him what he came there to do noting he is the first prisoner to try grabbing the bars and the skeleton replies that he is there for committing a sin asking in

turn for his reason to be there the skeleton then reveals that he was the Secretary of a demon king privy to too many of their secrets and he became greedy for knowledge and was imprisoned as a result he then tells no name to ask him anything believing he might be useful and the skeleton asks about the lindorm son surprised by the question the Scorpion informs noname of the demon realm's rule that one should always pay for a piece of information and tells him that his question would demand a big price no name asks for the

price and the creature asks for help breaking out of the prison the creature sense's noname doesn't believe him so he offers a taste of information he reveals that there are two reasons why demonkind is wary of the lindworm namely its ability to move quickly through the space between the demon realm and the human world which poses a threat to the entire realm and a second reason that he promises to tell after hearing the skeleton's story The Scorpion tells him that as a scribe he exists only for stories and if it's a fun one even better

no name agrees and wonders what to say settling on some of his amusing adventures with ruia Reena and Gils and succubus mixing up the time order and events creating the story he was hoping for all he could do was hold on to the memories in the midst of the ongoing events remembering those good times and renewing his will to live the Scorpion finds the story beautiful and Vivid but before he can reveal the second piece of information the jail begins to rumble with the creature noting that it was faster than expected no name fears that

they heard about the lindorm son but the Scorpion states that it is unlikely and the floors are shifting promising to meet again soon and tell him the rest of the information as the floors settle no name's new cellmate charges at the barrier in his cell screaming to be let out pondering on what just happened noname concludes that the Scorpion probably isn't trustworthy but he doesn't mind being used if he can escape wanting to avoid detection he stops training and decides to increase his wisdom by reading Ashton's books to do so he changes the inventory turning

it into an ebook and as he finishes the book The Blue window informs him that his wisdom has increased several several other windows soon pop up notifying him that something is Awakening and wants to read more it grants him level 15 reading but as he can't handle that level it is reduced to a temporary level of five available for 5 minutes whose time will be maintained if he continues to use the skill noname quickly reads another book increasing his reading comprehension and absorption and making it easier for him to read between the lines as he

picks up iob's objection to the prohibition of suicide blue Windows inform him that the reading skill will be applied days will change phrases to complete sentences and his reading speed has increased informing him that he prefers medium to high reading material the inventory ebook then expands on its own confusing the skeleton before his eyes begin to Glow he screams in pain as a blue window informs him that he is starting a difficult reading level and the knowledge is being forcefully inserted blue Windows informed noname that he can absorb the book's contents with his body instructing

him to read between the lines to acquire the book's Essence and warning that he might be overloaded with visual information as noname writhes in pain the blue Windows inform him that he's acquired knowledge and wisdom his skills of Imperial decorum historian and ancient languages have been restored and he has acquired yam's Doctrine they also inform that his inventory proficiency has increased and the corresponding abilities have been converted to remaining stats as no name reads the book that deals with seon's history his skull cracks and light begins to pour from his body a red window warning

of the knowledge overload s it to be dangerous he approaches the inventory to try and stop it and barely manages to shut it down as his finger starts to warp before passing out the skeleton wakes up sometime later believing he has created a problem by reading the book in the inventory the Scorpion stands outside his cell asking if he is awake telling him to get up glowing with power he confirms that he is done preparing and parts the bars of the cell beckoning no name to go as they walk down the corridor the skeleton asks

the Scorpion why he is taking him along to which the creature replies that he needs him him for the breakout he explains that they are in Harry's domain the private estate of Mino and as his scribe he has seen the entire blueprint and knows his way around as they come across the wall he explains that he can't break it since he wasn't born for combat telling him that behind it there's a technique that controls him and a passageway as he instructs no name to break it the skeleton wonders why he chose him to which he

replies that no demon has ever come into direct contact with mino's iron bars and he's relying on him he claims that this is beneficial for both of them regardless of what might happen after they escape no name thinks on what he said refraining from asking further questions and using the inventory to crush the wall shaping it like a hexagon he uses it to push the wall until it cracks and crumbles much to the Scorpion's Delight as the dust settles the creature urges noname to continue and they go down the tunnel as it gets darker the

creature lights a magical fire in his hand and tells the skeleton to follow as he tells him the rest of the story warning that one must be meticulous while coming in and going out of the demon realm he reveals that the second secret of the lindorm sun is one that will shake the very existence of the world itself the Scorpion narrates the prophecy foretelling the destruction of the demon realm Heaven has been reduced to a pardic dimension and the human world lacks the strength meaning that the destruction of the demon realm will be brought about

by forgotten beings compatible with demons and with easy access to dimensional travel those holding the Dragon Flame the reason behind the Demon King's invasion of the human world was eradicating all traces of dragons even if it meant scouring every corner of the world no name listens to this and recalls the Warriors stored in the secret chamber who will kill the demon Kings wondering if they are those forgotten beings he then wonders if there are any past Warriors holding the dragon's flame and if Gil's attempt at bringing them to life was seen as a betrayal by

the demon Kings and led to her Punishment No Name realizes the plot is getting complicated and the scorpion noting his silence wonders if that wasn't the information he was seeking apologizing and stating that nothing can be done before ending the storytelling as they arrive at a glowing stone door the Scorpion states that it is the last hurdle they must pass through before escaping with neither knowing what lies Beyond they pass through the gate they enter a space covered in a thick fog losing sight of each other as the fog clears before no name revealing arist

the skeleton walks into the castle in disbelief and is greeted by ruia who expresses her desire to see him noname looks at the girl in confusion before a Minotaur lands behind her she introduces the creature as her Chief security guard since that is a world where they all live together grabbing him by the arm ruia leads him away to meet several people who are waiting for him she asks him how he's been and laughs as he replies that he isn't sure being glad that she's come to him telling him that Reena Leandro Gil succubus Isaac

and Tren are there and eily asking if this was the place that he wanted to be in no name agrees that it it is the place where he should be as they reach his coffin in the woods and ruia agrees before trying to push him in the skeleton tells her to wait and as ruia tells him that she to see him he replies that he wished that as well before thrusting his hand through her chest and pulling it out coldly asking her if she thought he'd fall for such a false delusion noname states inwardly that

he wants to protect the ones he cares about not get drunk and that things overtaken by desire wouldn't understand this recovering his armor and the second coming of the bone he challenges whoever is responsible for the illusion to come out since those tricks won't work anymore a water well explodes revealing another noname wearing his purple armor and great sword challenging the skeleton's statement before charging the two non names clash and the real skeleton calls his doppelganger weak to which it replies that he is him and they feel the same asking if he will pretend to

be innocent and noting that he is in prison for a reason it asks what no name's ultimate purpose is after protecting his loved ones as he blocks the skeleton strikes asking if it isn't happiness he states that he knows what no name wants before charging in and assuming reena's form the girl lands on no name's chest tearfully asks him not to throw her away and states that they can be happy wondering if he will kill her like he did with ruia undeterred no pushes the fake Reena back and slashes her chest causing the creature to

adopt the form of gills and addresses him as her child wondering if he will cut her too stating that they are not the same noname opens the inventory and uses it to decapitate the fake gills asking it what it wants making those Illusions the creature replies in a distorted voice saying that it is making his wishes come true whatever those may be as it begins to adopt succubus's form noname attacks the creature once more stating that what he wants is to get out of there suddenly a ma emerges from the ground and swallows the skeleton

hole he appears to be suspended in water and soon loses his sword unable to move from where he is the Scorpion appears before him commenting that he didn't expect that the skeleton would get to the next stage that quickly and stating that he can't do much when no name wants to break his own dream as no name looks in confusion the Scorpion tells him that he misinterpreted what he felt from his story and explains that they are in the prison of satisfaction where criminals are locked and immersed in the happiness they desire the skeleton asks

if everyone in the prison is locked in a similar place and the Scorpion confirms this he believes that punishing evil is pointless since it doesn't rehabilitate prisoners so they just isolate them for the rest of their life since if they are happy enough to forget who they are then it's meaningless to exist anymore no name looks on in shock as he realizes that the Scorpion is the owner of the prison and Lord of Harry minock considering that he has no choice since no name ran away because he disliked fantasies Mino prepares to attack the skeleton

with his Stinger but his attack is blocked by the inventory the Scorpion is surprised that someone can move in his realm but no name is able to push the water away creating a box around him with with the inventory storing his sword in the process he realizes that he can't stay like this forever and is searching for a way out until he notices Gil's dagger pulling it from the inventory he vows to kill Mino and get out of there as the runes in the blade glow with power the skeleton states that he would prefer it

if he didn't do that but no name propels his inventory Cube towards him he Sprouts a scorpion's tail from his chest and screams in agony as the skeleton cuts off the Stinger a blue window informs no name that he's accomplished something that's usually impossible as minoch continues to regenerate the stinger and no name continues to cut it increasing his swordsmanship level Mino begs no name to give him the dagger or at least stop the attacks offering anything in return he offers to show him how to reverse the imprinted seal and curse that were placed upon

Gils but noname doesn't relent and stabs his main Stinger with the dagger stating that he can't trust the one who put him in that fake jail in the first place angered Mino states that this isn't going to work and his whole body begins to disassemble and move away he states that if all noname wants is to escape then he will let him go as noname realizes that was also part of the prison the demon tells him that the fantasy is over curious as to how long he will last he goes on to explain that a

prison can be seen as the safest protection in the demon realm telling the skeleton to try to survive the Sur a battlefield and revealing that there he might find what he wishes to know about lifting the curse a black substance enters no name's Cube and begins to envelop him and as he screams he soon finds himself in the demon realm and bereft of armor an electric sign explains the field rules to him instructing him to be the last one standing or collect all four cards to succeed and talking is not allowed noname finds an acorn

card in his hand which he stores in the inventory and is soon thrown to the ground by the rumbling caused by two gigantic monsters fighting nearby as he is swept into the air by a gale he comments on how there is no easy way for him no name hides behind the boulder seeing the massive forces collide hiding overhead and ruling out an allout battle he then regrows his armor and opens the inventory warping it into a cape and wrapping it around his shoulders causing him to blend into his surroundings traversing the battlefield the skeleton is

determined to find something to help Gils even if he can't get out unwilling to repeat the same mistake as before he then sees several colossal monsters pass before him wondering if they originate from there they soon notice his presence and prepare to attack but no name quickly draws his sword and Strikes first severing the head of one of the creatures using Dash and energy sword noname strikes each of the monsters in turn until they are all slain causing him to note how weak they are and noting that they don't have a card he is forced

to turn and barely manages to block an incoming ice Shard with the inventory cape and is forced to block a second one just as he wonders where they're coming from as he continues to block the shards the inventory pops up by itself to protect him and he notes that it is much stronger than he intended suddenly a hand Pats him on the shoulder and the stranger appears from behind noname looks at him in confusion but the man offers to catch up after they escape using his magic he teleports them to a grassy plane and explains

that they arrived faster than the others noname raises his sword demanding to know who the stranger is and the man replies that he also has a lot of questions for him offering to take a walk and giving the skeleton an Ashton book that he had in his inventory the man insists that the skeleton take the book stating that he just wanted to show him he could take it and holding five other stolen books with his other arms as no name stores them back in the inventory The Stranger notes that the battle between fire and water

is unfolding beautifully remarking that they both seem strong and commenting on his plan of attacking them after they get exhausted he tells the skeleton to take a closer look at the Collision process between the two noting that they seem to overlap and stating that there's only one person spreading that magic as bait to catch any card holders as he goes on explaining that such a strategy is expected in the demon realm a silhouette can be seen laughing from behind the convergence point no name pelts The Stranger with questions such as who he is and why

he is helping him as well as the meaning of his warning not to go back and the extent of his knowledge about Gils smiling The Stranger says that he will answer starting to float he denies knowing anything about Gils and only hears rumors of the demon realm noting that his Focus must be Vago and that the demon king is amassing a huge Army and those who haven't heard the rumors are clearly Outsiders noname acknowledges this and asks if the stranger knows how to lift the curse causing him to note how his will termination and path

have changed a lot since they last met he reveals that Vago has reversed the Seal of the contract into a curse and lifting it would require the Nullification of the contract or the curse but he won't be able to help until he sees it the stranger Comforts noname telling him to not be upset saying that if he is from the demon realm he should know the demon king who sent him there later commenting that he knows about the demon realm and elsewhere no name then asks him why he is there suggesting that he isn't trapped

on the battlefield collecting cards The Stranger confirms this stating that he doesn't have nor did he steal any cards being a mere Wanderer going wherever the road takes him seeking to expand his knowledge but believes maybe fate led him to No Name the skeleton finds this burdensome and chooses to assume that that's the case despite considering him unpleasant he then asks for help in getting out of the battlefield and finding out how to break the curse to which the stranger offers something more valuable turning noname into his disciple and teaching him how to deal with

the area the SK immediately agrees surprising The Stranger but no name insists that he must become stronger and free himself from the weakness that got Gil's killed being willing to do anything to achieve this noting how he has changed the wanderer agrees and returns another stolen book to noname blaming him for allowing it to be stolen in the demon realm and stating that he will eventually take everything from the inventory non name stares at him in disbelief and the wander points out and states that the items are the tuition fee repeating his statement about paying

a fair price for information in the demon realm he promises to keep the items safe and return them once the lessons are over but his speech is cut short when no name stabs his arm stating that he has seen people like him before taking advantage of strangers with good intentions only to toss them aside later the stranger acknowledges that he used to be such a man but affirms that he no longer wishes to commit such sins brushing his sword aside and bristling with power he asks no name if he has the confidence to fight him

and win the skeleton asks if he is stronger than the demon Kings stating that if he can't beat him he stands no chance against them The Wanderer laughs in Amusement as the skeleton charges at him wishing to complement his Spirit but unwilling to have rude disciples the two Clash in a magical explosion no name slashes at the wander but the ladder catches the blade with his bare hand and shatters it as he prepares a magical strike no name's proliferating bone armor morphs to absorb it he then grabs his regrown sword and strikes again only for

the stranger to shatter it a second and third time with with his fists the skeleton delivers several blows in quick succession only for them to be dodged before his blade is shattered again he then Dodges a punch and The Wanderer tells him to take advantage of what he possesses launching a large magical attack no name initially opens the inventory but then closes it and Dodges knowing that the wanderer will steal the items inside and wants his abilities realizing that he shouldn't use the inventory so recklessly realizing noname has figured out his true goal The Wanderer

is determined to make the skeleton use the inventory he delivers a powerful magical strike but no name emerges from it unscathed and Strikes at him the wander being once again able to block the sword with his hands while using his extra limbs to prepare more magical strikes he asks the outmaneuvered skeleton what he will do and as no name lowers his blade he states that it is an impossible fight insisting that he will pay the tuition fee he is shocked however as no name turns the sword to himself acknowledging that he can't win he states

that regressing without gaining anything is better than than having his items stolen planning on apologizing to Gils before he can carry this out The Wanderer grabs the blade and tells him to stop recognizing that he made a mistake and promising never to steal from him again seeing that the tables have turned he apologizes and retracts his extra limbs suggesting another proposition noname doubts it for some time but then agrees to listen noname can't believe what he hears when The Wanderer states that he will do him a favor if he just show him kindness someday as

repayment as the skeleton continues to doubt the man he states that though it might not be a big deal for him then it might be in the future especially since he believes that his path will be more special than any other no name continues to doubt him but believes that forming a friendly relationship with a powerful being such as The Wanderer won't hurt as he agrees The Wanderer launches a green Fireball preparing to start the fireball turns out to be a fairy and despite no name's disbelief The Stranger confirms this and asks him to try

catching it using his abilities the fairy begins to fly at high speed and the skeleton opens the inventory and transforms it into a cube trapping the fairy and coating it with a barrier the enraged creature attacks the barrier with a fire attack but is incinerated in the process The Wanderer notes how good no name is at this and as the skeleton absorbs the fair's Essence a blue window informs him that he has earned the brain wave skill soon acquiring level five and restoring several skills The Wanderer comments on how brutal the fair's death was laughing

jokingly when no name points out that he asked him to catch the creature he then instructs the skeleton to use lightning strike wishing to understand the strength he contains and the latter relents and launches a lightning strike from his fingertips tearing a huge gash on the ground the man remarks on the massive amount of magical energy the skeleton contains noting the size of his magic vessel heeding his instructions no name opens the inventory despite being wary of the traveler stealing all of his stuff and shoots a lightning bolt at it causing it to bristle with

energy the man then instructs him to expand the inventory threefold turning it into a cube and praises the skeleton's Mastery of the field as he succeeds wondering if he had another teacher before him who is as brilliant as himself no name changes the subject asking what to do next and the wander explains that they will try to channel brain waves into the inventory he states that though it might be difficult to amplify the existing skills it should be possible to manipulate them in the inventory using reversal sometime later he notes that the skeleton is doing

well and assists him finding the inventory box with magic rope and telling him to go for it no no name acknowledges this and prepares to channel the brain waves with some effort noname begins to transform the inventory Cube into a sphere the impressed wand tells him to stop for now and the skeleton holds the sphere in his hands before thrusting It Forward shooting the compressed lightning bolt within and creating a massive explosion No Name Is awed by this power but the stranger notes that he simply Drew external energy into his own domain the skeleton notes

this vague explanation and then admits that despite having used his inventory to fight before he didn't know that it could be used in this way with the stranger explaining that it is much stronger than when one gathers and uses magical power by oneself regarding lightning magic he adds that they can create an even stronger Force by intertwining with each other the skeleton thanks The Wanderer and a blue window informs him that he has acquired archery level three and recovered Forest adaptation level two as he notes how suddenly he acquired archery an arrow tears away his

right arm The Stranger turns in alarm fearing that they drew too much attention as he senses something approaching from the woods cursing noname reattaches his arm as they both flee much to the skeleton's dismay The Wanderer rejoices at a chance of testing his skills in battle after all the training they've done and vanishes leaving him to fight alone and promising to help noname Dodges the next Arrow but the projectile changes trajectory in midair and pierces his left arm The Stranger prods him to use his power and no name charges in the direction of the incoming

arrows dodging or destroying them until he stumbles onto a pile of creatures shot in the back noticing a trailing Arrow he dashes into the woods until he notices a silhouette but before he strikes it down he notices it is a dead body propped up by a spear a fanged creature then jumps from behind the skeleton Jaws wide open but non manages to cover his arm with the inventory before the monster bites it off he then imprisons the creature in an inventory sphere and recognizing him as the one behind the attack fills the sphere with magical

energy as the lightning Fades no name is surprised to see the creature unscathed within the sphere ice shards sprouting from its back as its eyes glow red placing its hands on the ground the monster causes crystals to sprout from the ground in the direction of noname with help from the wanderer's knot noname is able to stop the incoming ice shards with the inventory much to the monster's surprise suddenly the skeleton hears Isaac's voice commenting on his achievement and his new ally calling him an ungrateful child Isaac's human form appears in no name's mind stating that

he isn't the sorcerer but a trace of him left on him and the inventory's memory he instructs the skeleton to protect his domain and think about his power since he is the only one that can move back and forth between the web and the domain no name calls out Isaac's name but soon notices that he is encased by the inventory while being pelted by Ice shards with The Wanderer warning about the window's Integrity confident the skeleton extends the inventory box to envelop the monster as well and starts attacking it with lightning the creature jumps to

attack and while The Wanderer doubts his strategy noname prepares another lightning strike the creature braces to receive the blow but the skeleton lands a direct hit to its Bel frying him no name absorbs its Essence while the wander Praises his achievement but the skeleton pays no mind as he sees his newly acquired skills the man then suggests that he uses these skills while the knot has power and no name uses the inventory to freeze over shattering the ice he turns towards the wanderer stating that he is aware that the nod is a pulling Force intended

to pull him closer to the Caster aware that the inventory was gradually being pulled toward him drawing his sword he demands to know what the man is trying to steal and The Wanderer Smiles at getting caught like that noname darts forth and slashes at The Wanderer smiling he Dodges the attack and asks the reason for his anger recalling his previous statement about paying the proper price as he starts to use his powers he launches several attacks at noname using his multiple arms but the skeleton blocks them with his freezing skill he then attacks The Stranger

but the ladder grabs his blade asking the skeleton if he isn't going to use his inventory as the enraged skeleton refuses to do anything that would benefit him The Wanderer renews his attack in an attempt to to force him to use the inventory he taunts noname telling him that he should relinquish the inventory since it is too much power for him stating that he would make better use of it restrained by the wanderer's arms noname thinks on how the inventory has always been his and he will never allow it to be taken away by anyone

as the memory of Isaac prods him on the skeleton turns the window into a sphere and fills it with lightning electrocuting The Wanderer and causing him to release his grip though scorched the man remains standing as noname grabs his blade and decides to keep on his attacking until The Wanderer is slain delivering another blow catching the blade with his hands The Wanderer urges noname to stop the skeleton is still Furious unwilling to trust the man after having been backstabbed but the man insists pointing out that he has just confirmed that he can't take the inventory

by force while also stating his curiosity about the path he will walk noting that he was able to fully wield his domain Powers alone he wonders if the skeleton grew or was just holding back previously noting that he lost interest regardless of the answer he then is a tear forming in the sky wondering if it was already there before taking his leave through a portal as he departs he notes that he caught the attention of someone higher up noting that it can be what he wants since he can see it for himself no name asks

if he refers to Mino but the man rebuffs that he wouldn't feel like this around that demon implying it was someone even higher up as noname looks up the sky continues to tear apart and gusts of wind blow from the rift recalling gills noname eerily realizes that Vago is a approaching as noname senses the Demon King getting close the wander prepares to take his leave telling the skeleton that he left him a favor wishing to meet him again sometime soon noname looks at the knot the man left wondering if that was what he considered a

favor storing his sword he prepares to run away before a voice halts him Mino then emerges from the ground telling the skeleton to not go any further and warning that someone is targeting him wondering if that someone is close no name demands the demon give him details Mino tells the skeleton to closed the dimensional gate The Wanderer opened warning that others might be peeking through it despite knowing that facing Vago might result in his death no name believes this is a great opportunity to gather information taking advantage of the situation he warns the Scorpion of

the consequences of trying to deceive him threatening to leave immediately and leave him to deal with the Demon King Alone Mino acknowledges the threat and as noname asks why Vago is targeting him he replies that it is because he is in possession of the power of lindworm which even the Demon King fears the scorpion confirms that to be the reason the demon kings are trying to eliminate him warning that he will be killed instantly as soon as he exits through the dimensional portal and promising to keep him safe as long as he remains in his

territory he explains that despite the Demon King's Powers flowing through the portal they are currently in a neutral zone where their rule doesn't extend and once again asks him to close the portal noname laughs at this unnerving Mino and announces that he will be leaving warning him to not try and stop him as he approaches the portal no name thinks on how the reason Vago targets him is true but doesn't believe mino's claim that he is protecting him deciding to face lies with lies he uses his desired deception skill and expresses his displeasure causing the

Scorpion to frantically promise to tell him everything questioned he states that despite having some influence in the demon realm as the Lord of Harry he is but a speck compared to the overwhelming power of the demon Kings so he wanted to possess at least a fragment of the power capable of resisting them hearing this no name pulls Gil's Dagger from the inventory and wonders about its power as the Scorpion continues to tell him of his plan to help him grow in his territory so he could confront Vago he notes that despite his progress he is

still far from being able to defeat the demon Kings warning that certain death awaits him beyond the portal and promising him that he will become stronger before leaving noname asks what he should do to break the curse of the Reversal of Fate but Mino replies that he doesn't know the answer suggesting that killing Vago might be the only way but warning against single-handedly challenging such a powerful Demon King he then mentions the yashu leuk ritual which must be accepted by the one who cast the curse but warns of a condition that must be met no

name grows impatient but they both soon notice a dark moon emerging from the rift trembling Mino reminds the Moon that they are in a neutral zone referring to it as an indirect manifestation and warning that the other demon Kings won't let it slide no name then realizes that the ball is vaso's manifestation and the skeleton notes that despite being the third seat he cannot intrude alone as a dark arm emerges from the Moon an eerie voice tells noname to attack the Moon minoch is crushed by a rock as noname looks in shock wondering aloud what

the hell is happening as the world shatters no name notes how this is beyond any expectation terrified at the power of vaso's influence the Demon King addresses the skeleton urging him to release lindor's power but he refuses and holds the blade in defiance The Demon King insists stating that he isn't seeking his downfall as he sends forth energy tendrils the tendrils in snare noname but lindor's dagger begins to glow and breaks their hold holding the blade the skeleton notes on how he always receives help from others and Vago wonders if he can use that power

noname then slashes at the Moon causing the Demon King to note that things have become interesting giving him the special option of becoming his high priest and use that power for his sake assuring the skeleton that it is an honor to become his slave in response noname attacks again and Vago replies noting that he is a skeleton soldier who knows nothing of the subject and is trapped forever in a time of Despair and is unable to do anything as a dark liquid begins to Rise From Below The Demon King tells noname to experience Infinity using

the inventory noname protects himself within a sphere despite being aware that his life is about to end Vago notes this move stating that it is futile before him as the inventory barrier begins to crack and the dark liquid pours in time slows down as no name is submerged wondering whether he will be confined and toyed with like this until his demise and stating that it doesn't matter before throwing lindor's dagger straight at the center of the Moon the moon's Mass Parts away as the blade passes by without causing any harm but noname remains undaunted and

presses Gil's two remaining daggers into his neck certain that regardless of the number of times he fails he will always return Vago is surprised at his attitude realizing that he is about to take his own life a bright light shines from no name's body as his severed head flies away Darkness descends and a blue window informs no name that he successfully Unleashed his breath against someone despised by the dragon tribes increasing his Affinity with them and noting that he will receive the instinctive favor of dragons noting that dragon's breath is the master of Magic the

blue window informs him that he's restored and augmented his magic resistance as the image of Gils becomes visible the window informs him that unwanted possession brainwashing suggestions confusion and artificial magic of rank B orow are nullified and the level limit for all magic has been increased by 50,000 it also informs him that his combat power against the dragon trib's lineage has increased significantly and he has unlocked uncontainable light and darkness descending like a sigh in the form of swords and partially injured vaso's Soul raising the limit of his swordsmanship level the image of Gils becomes

clear and the window notes that no name is being observed by forgotten entities Gils asks no name if his plan worked the skeleton finds himself once once more Bound by her tentacles in the cave wondering if she has returned she then approaches him noting that she suddenly feels trace of Prophecy in his speech before angrily asking him to identify himself deciding to speed things up noname calls The Necromancer by her name and reveals that he used lindor's power requesting that she create a barrier preventing anyone from hearing the story he is about to tell before

going into any details smiling The Necromancer asks up to what level of existence she should raise it and no name states that it should include the demon Kings she agreed releasing the skeleton and merily suggesting that they talk no name then tells Gils the entire story causing the duah to become inactive and causing gills to have a different expression from the last time lost in her thoughts she revives the douah as the skeleton continues his story narrating the events of his past life and warning her to not take the underground route to Ember revealing the

traps that lie in wait and the demon Kings targeting her prompting a reaction from her he then continues his story informing her of the curse of the reversal of fate and his counter with Vago having finished his briefing noname asks Gils if she has the dagger but the Necromancer remains sitting in silence so he explains the scenario to her intertwining Reena and ruia's stories while he wonders about their well-being shaking gills begins to laugh maniacally worrying noname before smiling and commenting on how it feels like her veins are melting as her eyes glow blue noname

finds her looking so happy despite knowing that her other half is being consumed by a curse quite peculiar but the Necromancer apologizes and explains that it is the first time she is in such an exciting situation believing what the skeleton told her she asks if he believes that she could digest all that information as bone tentacles Target both the duah and herself while she happily comments that she almost went insane no name apologizes and as she retracts her tentacles gills uses their link to invite him to capture the demon king or search for lindor's Power

Reviving The duah she informs noname that they are going to take ruia and Reno with them much to the skeleton's shock noname is dismayed as Gil repeats that they are taking Reena and ruia with them noting her curse he insists that they take immediate action but the Necromancer merely replies that if she wishes to die then he should just let her inwardly the skeleton asks if she really wants him to let her perish and relive the loss of those he cared about his eyes glowing with power he reaffirms his commitment to protect repeating it over

and over until Gils clarifies that it isn't precisely death but a break in memory telling him to stop imagining things she then tells him that she now lives centered around him continuing her life by relying on his regression as nonim asks her if she thinks that her different versions are the same The Necromancer causes him to recall that she said that in her previous life and they decide to keep talking remarking that if he is right the world is ruled by the man and woman from the blue window she notes that they aren't true rulers

to them as the wedge he inserted spread and anchored into this world no name then reaffirms his desire to become stronger and when prompted he reveals that there are many ways to achieve this goal the skeleton then heads to the spider's Vault planning on leveling up there and recalling the time Reena saved him there with grass's flame noting that in truth he was always the one being protected by the Allies he met entering the dungeon he notes how this is like starting again since death is familiar now pulling his sword from the inventory he begins

the creature refuses to answer offering the bead to Lord ball he reveals that ball will grant him the engravement if he slayed 100 Intruders in the dungeon so no name prepares to fight with lightning while asking if he reached his count the Beast informs him that he would be the 100th victim and noname jumps onto the inventory to dodge its charge the skeleton then launches a lightning strike but the Rhino starts to block it summoning Stone plates around himself no name's strike proves too powerful the blow piercing through the plating and pulverizing the monster a

iglu the great Thief sending a scout to a skeleton Soldier surprised that he is aware of his reputation iglu states that strong skeleton soldiers are recognized within the legion no name then asks if the demon is in control of other shrines wishing to make an offering to repay his kindness and iglu reveals the location of two other shrines drawing his sword the skeleton thanks him for saving him the trouble of finding them before shattering the dismayed statue the demon then warns that the legion will be after him from then on belittling his strength before being

blue window informs no name that ball is watching him with interest exiting the dunge he expects skills to contact him until he sees one of the blue Starlight Fox's mechanical scarabs the contraption beckons him to follow and he dashes through the woods behind it while recalling that gills decided to contact the red flake and find Reena and Rubio while he was training hoping that the preparations are over he arrives at the cabin in the woods opening the door to find a cloaked woman next to a fireplace who he finally recognizes to be Reena a blue

window informs him that the scenario has been completed and adjustments based on her Affinity have been applied it explains that unknown distortions have been reflected in the cleared scenario putting it into contact with the red flake expanding its scope and acknowledging his promotion it suggests that he tried to clear the scenario with Reena notifying that the evolutionary Ally scenario is active recalling that Reena has always been on his side despite the worldline changes he confirms that their bond remains intact after seeing the girl smile warmly she then Strokes his chest greeting him again as Mr

skeleton as noname Embraces her while they walk in the woods the skeleton thinks on how he feared the effects of tren's disappearance on Reena reassured that his fears were unnecessary the girl asks why he is walking so far away from her and what he's thinking and he admits that he was thinking about her current life she reveals that she's currently the third division commander of tren's Legion in charge of the Central and Southern regions of the Empire no name wonders if that was what replaced the T andt in that timeline noting that Gils was right

when she explained that Reena won't be affected regardless of the changes Reena then recalls their Adventures including dying at the hands of person's followers recalling how she was always left behind when it came to important and dangerous tasks she then tells him of her conviction that they would meet again someday happy at the fact that she can fulfill the promise to help him in his next life recalling his time with Reena no remembers the multiple occasions in which the girl helped him noting how she still trusts him despite her many deaths determined to repay that

trust he promises her to become stronger until he can protect her even if he falls in this life or the next dumbfounded Reena blushes and tells him to not die anymore before turning away in embarrassment while the oblivious skeleton asks if her red face is due to being hurt somewhere smiling the girl asks noname about his plans but before noname can give any details Starlight Blue Fox and Gils arrive riding Pegasus Gil descends from the vehicle suggesting they discuss the plans together Gil Marvels at how memories are inherited despite changes to the timeline stating that

she likes both Reena and noname thanking the girl for speeding things up the girl then reveals to the skeleton that she came with the Necromancer but asked for a moment to talk with him first Gils then explains that Reena tracked back their investigation on her and contacted them and admires the changes to non name's armor and stats she then introduces Starlight Blue Fox as an assassin of the order and the nun promptly removes her mask revealing a Flawless face and short blue hair and introduces herself as elwin greeting noname and asking him to say hello

if they meet in the next regression causing him to be nervous back at the cabin the four discussed their next move lost in thought no is surprised to realize elwin was the new owner of the yuam inn and her deep connection with gills noting how many things he missed while running around so much he realizes he must be careful due to the dangers ahead recalling the people he lost Gils notices no name's absent-mindedness banging the table to catch his attention and chiding him before they continue noname gets up and grabs the Ashton book in the

cabin and reads it on the table he mentions the redlake information auction in Doak and asks about the relation between the Assassin's organization and Kevin Ashton both Gils and elwin are shocked at the question and the nun takes the lead admitting that the author is indeed from the red flake seeing how everything aligns perfectly no name tries to find out the identity of Ashton but the nun replies that she doesn't know and they mustn't speak of it she explains that the author HD himself while leaving legacies and commanded the red flake to do the same

and noname adds that that is the first rule for those who received the legacies which ellwin confirms she states that she never met Ashton and that her Legacy was inherited from the former Fox being the duty of the order to find other legacies such as Perseus and kill their owners each member inherit a unique Legacy and the owners are either acquired or seized by previous generations while some like Lumen Baldor entrust their legacies to headquarters and don't use them hearing this no name wonders why someone powerful as Ashton would be helping him and how he

knows so much about the skeleton feeling trapped in a maze Gils notices his serious expression and the skeleton turns his head to ask her what she knows about Ashton she then agrees to reveal her past with the author the East soldiers lay slain under the rain after a battle Gilson narrates how hearing the screams of the undead was at first chilling yet enjoyable but things changed once she was chosen by Vago and realized the fallacy of necromancy while wielding the power of the third seat she was unmatched and briefly enjoyed it but after some time

she found the endless cries and curses boring to return things to how they used to be she only saw one option to kill Vago Gil learned of lindor's power chasing it for 10 years after some threats and torture a man she captured revealed that there was a ghost that moves from Human to human leaving a unique scent and no one could eradicate it finding it amusing she released the man and told him to report that she was coming thinking to herself that things got interesting she continues her story stating that there were plenty of gruesome

ghosts as well as strong individuals fighting them but she entered the town at night interested at the fact that no one could exterminate The Entity entering a house Gil met an old man who presents himself as the ghost revealing that he was waiting for her The Necromancer realizes that the man earlier was his subordinate and is infuriated as the man snear at her asking him if he wants to die thus began a two-day battle between Gils and the ghost at first The Necromancer was angry at the thought of being tricked by a ghost and the

entity was able to dodge or deflect all her physical and magical attacks with ease making her realize that it wasn't a battle frustrated Gil started forth unleashing all of her might causing an explosion which tore the building apart as the ghost blocked her at noon The Necromancer realized what magic was at midnight she realized what ghosts were and at dawn she realized that even ghosts have an inside and an outside battered at midnight the next day she realized that her opponent was an illusion yet real and the battle wasn't a battle but an irreplicable lesson

towering over her the ghost told Gils to stop and explained that he was a trace and there was no need to waste energy fighting him suggesting she was looking for something strong he offered to tell her where lindor's power lay dormant shocked Gils asked for the trace's name and recalling that he failed to make a proper introduction he revealed his name to be Yu Yan believing that those across the sea know him as Kevin Ashton after hearing the story no name arises from the table wondering where Ashton is at present but Gils is unaware of

his whereabouts since their encounter stating that he just disappeared leaving a message that said they would meet again someday Ashton gave her the location of the runes in the East where she could find Lind worm's power also mentioning runes in the west during her path Gils met the red flake but failed to find the fabled ruins believing it to be a trick to send her East prompted by Reena The Necromancer reveals that she never returned East afterwards because the route had changed completely causing her to lose her ship several times having no choice she remained

in the red flake to confront Ashton again elwin then quips in that she might have killed her when they first met if it weren't for the prophecy revealing that the organization had been receiving mysterious m messages such as hide the inheritance or accept the Necromancer as an honorary member through carrier pigeons though there was no prophecy concerning noname Gill believes that Ashton deliberately avoided mentioning him wishing for the skeleton to find red flake on his own Reena then reveals that the red flake requested the tropen legion to lock specific information and despite elwin feeling uneasy

at this becoming common knowledge the girl playfully states that it will stay their secret she then wonders why Ashton would bring Gils there to which the necrom response that the author intended for her to encounter noname several blue Windows inform noname that the save Gil scenario is progressing and the Ray ruia and supporter of the darkness scenarios are ongoing the skeleton thinks it is all part of Ashton's plan and Gils agrees that the scenarios are a priority to get closer to Ashton stating that they should go protect the one he should protect ruia ruia is

seen running in the dark being caught by a demonic entity while trying to escape before waking up from The Nightmare screaming and panting a man enters her her room carrying some food seeing an older try and noting that she hasn't been eating asking if she's been having any nightmares he coldly tells her to eat and calm down but ruia violently sends the food plate flying affirming to know that the man is putting drugs in her food trembling she asks aloud if the Lord of Grassmere knows anything about honor or shame kidnapping her and forcing her

to marry the man laughs at the princess of arist stating that she still doesn't know anything about the world and sadistically affirming that the life of the weak is determined by the strong so she should just accept the engagement ruia thinks she would rather end it all and almost bites off her own tongue but the man grabs her face screaming at her that he will be scolded if the value of the merchandise goes down and warning that if she dies he will kill the citizens who believe in her he adds insult to injury by mocking

the defeated girl and stroking her hair stating that there will never be a knight who will save someone like her no name's ghostly form can be seen behind the man ready to strike as the ghostly silhouette slashes the air the man man turns an alarm noting that it suddenly felt cold taking his leave and urging Rubio to make up her mind before he returns no name stands in the room concealed almost having slain the man in a flashback Reena explains that the Lord of Grassmere is named Gwyn Chandler causing no name to realize that with

Isaac's disappearance Chandler and his father have ceased to exist in this timeline she also states that the Chandler family is trying to reach out to ruia warning noname that despite being able to see ruia he must not interfere back in the present noname thinks on how he almost messed up and asks ruia to hang on a little longer the girl is startled feeling that someone was there while looking at the open window walking on the roof no name notes that ruia's situation is worse than he thought urging Reena to hurry up in the woods Reena

awaits a mysterious figure's arrival which is revealed to be the ghost's division leader raising his spear he notes her bravery for coming alone but Reena merely states that there is no use in fighting since they will soon be colleagues stating that he would be interested in in The Proposal she refers to him as Shia and asks if he dislikes Lawrence removing his mask the ghost confirms this with an insane expression before telling Reena to reveal the way to fool the Duke and the secrets of the world Reena laughs at this promising that the plans for

the future are quite interesting sometime later Reno briefs everyone explaining that all the locations of the aist ghosts have been identified and they must be taken out first no name is surprised at this thinking that the Assassin should be concealed under the protection of botus and Mar in at reena's skill she then goes on to state that The Disappearance of the ghosts would cause suspicion in the Imperial family so they will capture division Commander Shia yusor who despises Lawrence then no name will kill Lord Chandler and Gils will turn the Lord and his surrounding officers

into zombies handing the lordship over to ruia by controlling the zombies before she can continue nonim interrupts noting that the Empire will notice something is a miss about the massacre of the ghosts and ruia's Ascension which will bring about a war and put the lives of of those present in danger Reena plays it off saying that the plan would be impossible from the start if it was safe but no name continues to state that the plan won't benefit them asking if they are okay with helping him after a brief pause Reena smiles and agrees considering

no name's words foolish at such a time and affirming that what's important to him is important to them blushing and averting her gaze she also adds that he promised to protect them gills places a hand on the skeleton's shoulder agreeing with Reena and stating that they are not afraid of death and can live longer through him while eloin will help him only from the shadows and stay out of the dangerous tasks the nun sigh at this asking Gils how she can say that after getting her involved and promising to die alongside her causing them to

both laugh no name looks at those present thanking them inwardly and as they head out he promises to protect them regardless of what happens or what life they [Music] live
