[Music] so Claus told the wannabe Jon Snow to put his money where his mouth is and beat him in their sparring match quel charged at him intensely but Claus easily swept him to the ground before he could do Claus then lectured him on how being too straight forward with his attacks could get him cooked one day but quel tried to strike him again after blocking quil's desperation strike easily Claus boasted that quel could never beat him so quel got ticked off and tried desperately to land a hit on him while spouting some crap about how

he'd rise above the taller and much more talented claws Claus easily blocked him again and put him down with a strike to the ribs before telling quel as well as the two knights that were spectating Gran and fle to get back to work afterwards quel met up with Gran and fle and after they teased him for being a pathetic loser they gave him some inspiring words about how he was a hard worker who definitely get stronger if he worked on his technique and stamina before ultimately billing him to lunch for that afternoon as the two

Guardian Knights and quel patrolled the town of orilia they had a friendly chat before running into a dark elf named rahit rahit gave quel the stink eye and walked past them like they were a bunch of Street dogs as he moved along the surrounding villagers told quel and fle to throw him out but quel said he didn't do anything yet so some other NPC look folks said that reheat was certainly up to some evil stuff because Dark Elves are known to be bad Omens fle calmed them down by promising to report the situation to his

superiors and asked quel to return to their base since it was his break period before promising the people that the Guardian Knights would maintain the peace in their Town quel met up with a gorgeous Priestess named Frey on his way back and she brought up how they hadn't seen each other in a long time before asking how he's holding up quel said he was doing okay because he had claws working with him and Frey then said she was worried that he'd eaten something strange that had upset his stomach again quel tried to deny that claim

but she brought up how he always ate weird like centipedes and spiders and like the ignorant turd that he is quel argued that eating those were normal they then reminisced about the good old days in their childhood where they used to spend all day hunting insects alongside Claws and Frey said quel had nerves of Steel back then before claiming he was working hard as a knight quel however didn't feel like taking a Victory lap after getting complimented by a pretty girl as he complained about being stuck in Apprentice level he told her he felt useless

about being unable to stop the incident in town earlier that day so she motivated him to finish his apprenticeship soon so he could be the next Cito qu replied that he valued being a knight that could protect everyone over being an overpowered rzl Lord so Frey said he hadn't changed sometime later at the castle the chancellor named Bale met up with the king who was a bedridden old fart in his bedroom and informed him that there were demons cited in a neighboring Forest called The King's Forest after Baal said he'd send Scouts towards the area

the king commanded him not to let a single demon enter orilia while hinting that the city couldn't handle the horrors that existed a 100 years ago then some Noble named moram showed up with reheat at the castle and told the guards that were trying to stop rahit that they were there on some serious business sometime later some nobles were discussing the issue of demons and when they started arguing over how many soldiers to send out morem showed up and introduced rahit as his Soldier the Nobles started chewing him out for bringing a dark elf into

the castle so he gaslighted them into accepting rahit by revealing that there were no laws forbidding dark elves from entering the castle then they asked why moram stopped by so moram explained that he was there to recommend rahit as well as his band of fierce mercenaries called the black Edge to join the troops being sent on the demon hunt he added that rahit who led the black Edge was capable of taking on a hundred men alone not in bed of course so the nobles were shocked Bale then asked rahit why he agreed to help them

despite the beef between orilia and the dark elves so rahit said they were men for hire who didn't give a crap about who hired them when asked what his team desired as a reward rahit said they wanted nothing more than cash for their services and moram praised his people for being honest and trustworthy while throwing Shades at the other Nobles in the room for being power hungry conman he then begged the chancellor to hire the black Edge but he and all the other Nobles opposed the idea so he apologized and took the L that evening

the knights were stunned to see that quel had prepared an insect for his dinner and they ate and chatted with each other before Claus informed quel about the demons in the king's forest and said that he as well as Gran and fle would be going on the mission to hunt them quel suddenly remembered a traumatic event from his past involving a lady and started feeling down about it so they cheered him up and told him to keep training when they were gone later that night the black Edge elves arrived at the village and killed an

innocent guy before meeting in a hidden location and discussing their plans to kill the Nobles and take control of the nation the next day Claus and the rest of the knights left for the king's Village to find the demons and afterwards quel trained tirelessly for several days while waiting for their return a night that quel patrolled with told him the demon hunt Scouts were taking too long but quel said they'd be fine since Claus was with them meanwhile Claus and the rest of the knights were patrolling the forest when they were suddenly ambushed by some

demons the demons killed fle with a stream of arrows and Claus sent Gran to report their situation to the castle while fending off the demons with his sword skills eventually Gran made it back to orilia and the people were shocked to see just one Scout returning Gran reported to the Nobles that the scouts encountered an unknown number of demons in the forest before passing out and the nobles were ready to send more Knights into the forest to burn that down but moram said it would be best best to conserve their power since they could encounter

a demon Invasion like the incident from a hundred years ago the Nobles asked what to do so he suggested they use the black Edge and when the Nobles debated it again he told them to stop being whiny douchebags and asked the chancellor to make a decision meanwhile Frey met up with quel and asked about the scouts so quel said he was sure that Claus was fine and decided to go find him Frey tried to stop him reminding him that he was still an inexperienced night but he insisted on saving Claus and said he never wanted

to lose anyone close to him again Frey then said she'd go with him and when he tried to stop her she said she didn't want to lose anyone as well and added that her skills as a priestess would be useful to him before revealing that Claus put her in charge of taking care of him meanwhile at King's Forest a lady with a weird marking on her head named Maria looked down at the pile of knights corpses in front of her when quel and Frey got to the king's Forest they saw a bunch of dead Knights

and quel freaked out when he noticed that fle was among them Frey then went to say a prayer to send them off and when quel went forward to look for claws he saw Claus's shield on the floor and got scared he lifted The Shield up to find the bloody remains of a knight and they were relieved to see that it wasn't claw when quel moved forward an arrow came flying towards Frey so he immediately jumped back and saved her from the Hawkeye Fanboy that was attacking them soon a horde of demons appeared and queso was

frightened after remembering the tragedy from his past but told Frey to get the hell out of there and charge towards the demons he Crossed Swords with one of the Demons but jumped back when another spear wielding demon got involved as Maria watched from the top of a tree quel told the demons to bring it on so they fired more arrows at him which he blocked with his stupidly large sword another demon charged towards him and tried slashing him to pieces but quel dodged all of its attacks and pushed the demons back with a slash of

his own he then tried to run off with Frey but Maria appeared in front of them and asked to play with quel before unleashing a dark aura that slammed him to a tree Frey rushed to check on him and Maria wondered why quel was such a weakling despite resembling someone she knew to be strong then the surrounding demons fired arrows at Frey and quel but Frey blocked them with a Magic Shield when the shield went off a bunch of demons charged towards them but before they could attack the duo rahit showed up and took them

out with a single slash afterwards two other members of Black Edge showed up and rushed to take on the demons while rahit faced Maria the black Edge elves took out the demons easily and rahit swiftly charged at Maria relentlessly dodging her attacks while trying to land one of his own quel was amazed by rahat's skills and Maria praised him as well when they jammed blades before promising to face quel one day and disappearing into a black m missed Fon some other members of Black Edge arrived and rit's sister named riine asked who the worthless pair

was so quel introduced himself and thanked them for their help the black edges revealed that they'd been hired to take out the demons and rahit asked what they were doing there so quel told him they were there to save their friend rahit said that all the scouts had been clapped which was why they hired his Squad but quel said he believed there were survivors one of the defeated demons tried pulling off a surprise attack but an elf easily lopped its head off before it could do and the black Edge left that area afterwards Frey healed

an injury on quil's cheek with healing magic and quel once again whed about his lack of skills bringing up how he couldn't defeat a single demon and asking if he could ever protect anyone their conversation was cut short when two strange people showed up and after telling quel to put his sword down the quirky girl among the duo introduced herself as Cleo while the guy introduced himself as Roy Cleo's babysitter Cleo said he's her bodyguard and not her babysitter and they goofed off a bit before revealing to quel and fry that they were there to

look for them Cleo then asked them to follow her so they followed her all the way to the edge of a cliff where quel demanded to know what the hell was going on Roy explained that they were asked by a certain person to bring them to that location and when quel asked who it was Cleo said it was a guy named Dominic Frey got shocked since she knew Dominics was a high-profile Sorcerer And when they asked how she knew him Frey said he used to show up at the orphanage where she and quel grew up

Cleo then suggested they move along and when quel asked where they were going she said they were going up to a place called the Tower of the sage Frey was confused since she knew only chosen people get to enter that Tower but Cleo then revealed that she was a chosen one and created a huge magic circle that teleported them away before long they reached the gates of a magical City and as they went inside Cleo told them that most of the residents were either Sorcerers or Scholars training under the Great Sage Frey asked what the

Great Sage was like so Cleo said he was an old freak who used magic to maintain his youth eventually they met Dominics at the tower and he told Frey and quel that they were all grown up but they said he hadn't aged a bit since they met him at the orphanage then Cleo revealed to them that he was the Great Sage she was talking about and when Frey asked why he kept his identity hidden Dominic said revealing it often caused him trouble quel then asked why they brought them to the city so Dominic said he

wanted them to see someone Dominics took them to a room where Claus laid unconscious on the bed and said that he wasn't fatally injured Cleo and Roy then revealed that they jumped in to help the scouts after getting word of the Demonic activity in the area but saw that Claus was the only Survivor Frey asked if Dominics knew they were coming so he said he'd been watching them from the tower but just then Claus woke up and was surprised to see his friends were in the room after they caught up Claus told them about how

the demons ambushed his Squad from nowhere and qu told him that the demons had been taken out by the black Edge quel added that Maria whom he called a female demon ran off and while Claus was confused Cleo revealed that Maria was actually a witch Claus said he didn't see Maria since his Scouts only fought the skeleton looking demons and on realizing that Maria wasn't connected to the demons Frey and quel tried to figure out who she was Dominics then suggested they let Claus rest and also that Frey and quel stayed at his place for

a while before asking Cleo to show them to their rooms Cleo took Frey to her room and asked why she didn't want to stay in the same room with quel this got her all flustered as she explained that she and quel weren't pillow buddies so Cleo teased her a bit before suggesting they became friends Frey agreed so Cleo told her she also didn't have parents before chatting about what life in the city was like the girls then star gazed through the window and Frey noticed something weird going on outside their window before Cleo left her

room Frey later met up with quel who was sitting outside and asked what he was up to so quel did what he did best and whined about how he didn't have enough power to join Claus's team in their fight against the demons he then brought up an incident from his past where demons attacked his village and his mother died protecting him before claiming he needed to get stronger so he could protect protect the people dear to him the next day rahit met up with the Nobles at orilia Castle and revealed that his team had taken

out the demons even bringing a demon's skull as proof of his claims the nobles were shocked and after a bit of argument with the Nobles once again about relying on the elves morem claimed that all Races needed to unify to take down the demon race the same way King Kyle worked with elves and Orcs to defeat the dark lord 100 years ago baale then thanked rahit for his efforts but told him to get rid of the demon head since it could scare the people later that evening moram and rahit had a laugh about how the

Nobles wet themselves at the sight of a demon's skull before moram brought up his goal to take the chancellor position from Baal in order to take over the nation and they toasted to their future the next day Claus said he needed to get back to orilia as soon as possible so quel and Frey tried to get him to relax but he claimed he needed to defeat the demons for everyone he lost during their mission Cleo then stopped by and said that Dominic summoned Frey and quel and when they met up with him he asked if

casel's mother ever told him about his father when he said he didn't know anything Dominics revealed that quel was the son of King Kyle and that he was to inherit the sacred sword eia which was used to kill the dark lord quel said it was a lie since his mother died when he was young and Kyle hadn't been alive for a hundred years but Dominics offered to explain everything sometime later the black Edge elves had a meeting where one of them named Tam brought them all some food and when he gave riine her own piece

of bread she complained that orvan Foods were too salty Tam agreed to disagree on that point and then brought up how a hundred years ago during King Kyle's era the elves were allowed to live in orilia and one other blackedge elf said that the reason elves were currently treated garbage was because of an elf named Ilah the elf beside him said not to bring up Ilah as it could Rock off rahit but rahit agreed to that point and said that ilyah is the reason elves are prosecuted meanwhile back at the tower Dominics told quel and

Frey about the time Kyle was Prince back then Kyle had a sparring match with Ilia which he overpowered her within a short time and when Ilia acknowledged how his skills improved he praised her coaching skills before Dominic showed up and praised them both sometime later the three of them had lunch together and after Kyle's Elder half-sister Ilia chewed him out for entering into town again Kyle said that he intended to learn everything about the citizens of orilia by hanging out with them in the streets he suggested that a nation can't exist without citizens and that

if Royals did nothing but hoarde Power the city would be in Ruins so he declared that that he wanted to be a king that could protect the people and make them happy Illy said she was sure he'd be a splendid King and offered to assist him when he assumed that role with her knowledge of technomic sometime later Kyle met up with Dominics and asked him why people in the city lived in poverty despite living in a peaceful era so Dominics explained that it was because their war with the neighboring Nations lasted for a long period

of time adding that families that lost working age members during war tend to go poor and Kyle said the war was meaningless after that Kyle spent years studying and training to become a heroic King until he met a woman who shared his dreams named Arlette back in real time quel freaked out after hearing the name Arlette and Dominics confirmed that the arlet he was talking about was quil's Mom Frey asked how Arlette was alive a hundred years ago but Dominic said he'd explain that later before telling them how Kyle and arlet had their little Cinderella

Story together until the king and Nobles found out about their relationship and forced them to separate Dominics explained that Kyle was the king's successor so Arlette became an obstacle for a politically arranged marriage and added that Kyle's tragedies didn't end there because demons soon appeared in the world Dominics narrated how demons destroyed several towns and Villages after invading the human world and how Kyle and his army defeated Ed them time and time again until his father Midian suddenly passed away allowing him to ascend to the throne during his coronation Kyle acknowledged the troubling State the

region was in due to the invasion of demons and declared that he'd defeat every single demon and protect his people sometime later King Kyle formed an alliance with Lorraine Of The Elves and iatola of the Orcs in order to defeat the demons but during the war they got outnumbered by demons and King Kyle ended up getting injured in a shelter Kyle met up with his senorita Arlette who was already carrying baby quel inside her and Kyle was really pleased to find out he'd have a child Kyle named The Unborn Child quel and decided to protect

the world for his unborn child and in response to his wish the goddess of light Lua appeared and gave him the holy sword eia to save the world from the dark lord amund Kyle later told Lorraine Dominics and iatola that the dark lord would attack when a red ring covers the moon and assured them that he could defeat him with eia before asking for their help back in real time Dominics told quel and Frey about how Ilah devoted herself to studying technomic and then they brought up how Ilia was known to have been executed for

attempting to create a false holy sword Dominics explained that the people of orilia saw it as a Blasphemous challenge against Lua so Frey asked why intended to make a false holy sword in the first place Dominics then explained that she intended to fulfill her promise of helping Kyle with her studies and explained that when a red star called the nocturnal Sun caused a red glowing ring around the Moon by intersecting it a mage named maldu used forbidden magic to tear open a dimensional fisure which brought amund to the human world Dominic said that King Kyle

went off to face amund alongside his companions while Ilia finished her research but she was killed by demons before she could reach Kyle to make the assist he added that after Kyle defeated amund with the help of his comrades they both disappeared leaving only the holy sword eia behind after that demonic activities in the world died down and peace returned to the world but maldu escaped and Kyle was nowhere to be found quel said Kyle was a brave King for risking his life to save everyone and to agreed to that before revealing that the holy

sword eia was sealed Away by his companions who decided to hold the key to seal until the dark lord returns so Humanity could use the power of IIA once more he explained that back then after Ilia death she was put under trial and found guilty of defiling Lua and as a result the entire Elven race were persecuted back at the black Edge Hideout Tam asked rahit if Ilia knew her actions would later affect the dark elves and later said he wished to go back in time so he could save his parents from getting killed and

give Ilah a Detroit smash for causing it rahit then said that all that ancient didn't matter because in the present elves were still persecuted and he once again claimed to settle the score with orilia meanwhile at the tower quel asked Dominics to tell him about his mother and what she was up to during those epic events so Dominics explained that back then they knew only Kyle's descendants could use eia and they feared that maldu could summon amund again a hundred years later during another red ring Moon so they put Arlette to sleep Dominic said that

Arlette woke up a hundred years later and gave birth to quel before demons invaded their Village and killed her he then revealed that he was the one who sent quel to the orphanage since he didn't have any parents or place to live Dominic said that he visited quel during his stay at the orphanage to watch quil's growth and that he had no doubt that he was Kyle's son before revealing that another red ring moon was coming soon which meant the dark lord could soon be back as well quel said he wasn't fully convinced that he

was Kyle's son but said he said he needed the holy sword so he could protect everyone and asked Dominics how he could get it Dominics said he had to break the seal which meant he had to go meet the grand Sage of the forest of eladora Lorraine and said he couldn't accompany them because he couldn't leave the tower Dominics then called Cleo and Roy who were eavesdropping on their conversation into the room and assigned them to join quel on his mission Cleo was really excited about it and she promised to keep quel safe before Dominics

told Frey to do the very same thing for the PE brain night afterwards quel and Frey filled claws in on everything he'd learned about himself as well as his mission to find the holy sword cas claimed he wanted to wield it to protect everyone so Claus wished him luck and promised to take care of orilia while he goes on his journey the next day quel Frey Cleo and Roy left the tower and after teleporting back to the cliff Maria watched them from the nearby forest and smiled mischievously eventually the team made it to the forest

of eladora and Cleo got grumpy about the fact that they were going to a forest and not a NASA space trip she then called quel a fraud and said there was no way a weasel like him could be the son of the legendary King and quel said he didn't believe so as well Cleo then went further with her taunts by saying quel wasn't heroic at all and Frey said she believed that the goddis Lua would guide them but then a group of demons made a surprise entrance and blocked their way Roy immediately dashed forward to

face them alone and when quel and Frey attempted to stop him Cleo said he'd be fine Roy then pulled out a pair of blades and sliced up the demons like a couple of leftover veggies before another horde of demons appeared this time wielding arrows before the demons could fire their arrows they were taken down using brutal Green Arrow style back shots from an elf named selini quel and the Gang rushed in and introduced themselves so she told them she'd been waiting for them and offered to guide them to Lorraine as they walked into the forest

they saw that it was dark and creepy looking and soon a tree monster called a treat walked past them they asked seleni to introduce herself so she acted like an arrogant half-wit before doing so and revealing that she was following Lorraine's orders to bring casil to her which made the rest of the team feel worthless they continued their stroll and Roy noticed they were being watched before they started hearing some voices that called selini a princess and as well suggested the team back off from the forest Selen then confirmed that she was the princess of

the region and when the voices didn't stop with their insults Cleo dared the creeps to show them to come out and insult them to their faces selini then explained that the land was sacred to elves and that the people weren't keen on welcoming humans so quel said he had no problem with elves and asked to move ahead after a bit of walking they reached a point with two tunnels where Selen suddenly disappeared they chased after her in the tunnel that seemed like the right path but it ended up leading them to a cliff in the

middle of nowhere and after the Tunnel closed up Cleo revealed to them that elves and trats of eladora loved playing tricks on Travelers and making them lose their way meanwhile Selen looked back and noticed quel and Friends weren't behind her so she ordered the residents of the forest to reopen the tunnel for them to come back they weren't convinced so she begged them saying she as well didn't trust them but Lorraine wished to see them on the cliff a baby train named Nea met up with the gang and guided them back to Selen in the

forest selini tried to warn Nea to stay away from them but it ended up joining them on their walk and they goofed off on the road a bit before Selen said they should rest for the night and continue their trip the next day afterwards they set up camp and quel played around with Nea for a bit so they noticed the little one had taken a liking to him but instead of I am Groot this little tree monster only knew how to say the word chibi so they called him that Selen then asked quel who he

was so he replied that he was a nobody who didn't have power to protect anyone which was why he needed to meet lurine to gain that power a while later Selen left them to take a look around and the Teen goofed off a bit before Cleo implied that King Kyle was special since he was chosen by ala but quel was less of a hero because he was born into inheriting the sword Roy then told quel not to listen to her and said he needed to fight without hesitation or doubting himself and Quil said he needed

the power of the sword so he could protect everyone Cleo then asked what the sword's power was and despite not knowing Jack about the sword's abilities they figured it would be a powerful weapon since it could defeat the dark lord Cleo then brought up how the dark lord had only appeared once in history which was during the fight against Kyle and Company implying that they managed to stop him because they made it in time so everyone decided they had to get the holy sword to stop the dark lord in the case of his return meanwhile

Selen was somewhere else in the forest thinking about how quel was different from the vile stories she'd heard about humans and then she heard a loud noise and rushed to meet quel and the Gang they all ran towards the wreckage and saw that a certain trat had gone berserk so they were confused since trats were known to be peaceful creatures they then saw a demon knock down the trint with its tentacle and Selen tried attacking the demon with an arrow but it blocked her shot easily mea saw the tr's life fade into the abyss and

he rushed towards the demon to get revenge but the demon grabbed him and crushed him using its tentacles Cleo thought about using flame magic to barbecue the demon but discarded the idea when she realized she'd be roasting necha as well quel charged towards it but the demon knocked him away easily and when he tried attacking again Selen fired some arrows that saved him from the Demon's tentacles selini told quel to escape since it didn't concern him but quel said they couldn't leave necha behind and the whole team attacked the monster at once eventually the demon

grabbed hold of quel as well but ncha launched a wooden blade at the monster and saved him from getting destroyed by the Demon's acid before getting torn apart by the demon seeing the Beloved Nea being reduced to shreds everyone went into shock but quel got engaged and attacked the demon relentlessly until he killed it quil's Rampage didn't stop after killing the demon as he kept slashing the beast's corpse and selini eventually held him back and said he'd done enough for Nea quel broke down afterwards and Selen looked back to see lurine watching from afar quel

washed his face in the nearby River after spilling about two buckets to tears before lurine met up with him and thanked him and the rest of the gang for saving the forest of eladora quel was still feeling grumpy about losing necha so she comforted him by saying she was sure he had a great time with quel and the guys before giving a speech about the cycle of life and other mystical she then went to the point and asked why quel came by so he said he intended to ask her to unseal the holy sordia selini

was surprised about the fact that quel was the sword's heir and lurine said she couldn't undo the seal at that moment she explained that if she unsealed it the power of the Holy sword would flow into quel and asked if he was worthy of that power quel then said he needed the power but she said that the holy sword wasn't a cheap glow stick as it had the power to defeat the dark lord and warned him that it could destroy his body and soul if he didn't wield it properly quel said he didn't care what

happened to him claiming he needed power to protect everyone so Lorraine said she understood how he felt and said they'd continue the discussion the next day later that evening Selen took them to a place she called Lorraine's residence and said they'd sleep there for the night but before she could leave Frey called her back and requested that she Buri remains which looked like a green racing in in his favorite spot felini agreed and took them to a particular spot that used to be his playground Lorraine made a surprise entrance and offered to assist with the

funeral so she used her magic to bore a hole in the ground and everyone said kind words to Nea as they put him to rest in the ground a while later lurine met up with Selen and asked the corny princess if she thought quel was fit to inherit the holy sword Selen said she was unsure so lorine said she needed sel's opinion since she'd spent time with quel and after remembering her time with quel lorine said she was still uncertain if he was fit to be their Luke Skywalker afterwards Selen walked through the forest and

wondered if quel had what king Kyle had that Drew others to follow him and she felt he was doomed because he gave in to rage so easily during the tentacle demon fight then she saw him at nea's grave spot where quel poured his heart out about how he regretted losing himself to anger and how he needed to get stronger then a little plant sprouted from Net's grave and while quel was shocked Selen explained that trat received new life after dying but said it was unusual for it to happen that fast she speculated that necha was

trying to cheer them up so quel thanked ncha and said that he wanted to get stronger the next day the Gang met up with Selen and Lorraine and lurine asked Selen if she'd made her decision about quel and his gang so selini said that despite all the slanderous stories about humans this merry band of AirHeads selflessly jumped in to save the village of eladora when the demon appeared so she had a different opinion about humans lurine then asked why selini couldn't give her a certain answer the previous night so Selen explained that she was worried

since she felt that a guy that lost himself to anger like quel would harm their Forest one day but ended up seeing that he knew his own flaws and sought true power so she claimed that quel was worthy of inheriting the power of the Holy sword quel thanked her and she blushed after getting hit with that wave of Virgin Riz before lurine commended her for being open-minded towards humans lurine once again warned quel about the sword's power and asked quel if he aimed to inherit it and as he agreed she saw the same determination in

his eyes that Kyle once had the rest of the Airhead crew backed him up saying they'd help out if things got messy and lorine said she was sure he'd accomplish his goals the way Kyle did before telling Selena how she fought beside Kyle despite their differing races lurine then agreed to undo the seal on the holy sordia so she went closer to quel and used a spell that connected quel to the holy sword thereby confirming his true status as the air to the legendary weapon afterwards quel said he didn't feel more powerful but lurine assured

him that he'd feel the power soon enough before revealing that the holy sword had two other seals one being with iatola the leader of the Orcs in orria mountain and the other being with someone named paval in the windland snow mountain which was even farther than orria Mountain as the Airhead crew were about to continue their Journey they got an alert about more demons invading the area when they got outside they saw a swarm of demons including the tentacle demon which they were shocked to see but Cleo explained that demons could survive by leaving a

seed behind when they die Selen was ready to take the demons down using all the archery moves she learned from Hawkeye in The Avengers movies but luring stopped her and told her to watch quel do his thing quel rushed towards the respond tentacle demon and shocked everyone when he easily tore its tentacles apart before landing a finishing strike which he claimed was Vengeance for necha afterwards lurine gave quel some words of encouragement for his mission and selini told him that she trusted him and the crew even though she wasn't entirely sure about humans so quel

and the Airhead crew waved them goodbye and left the forest of eladora back at orilia moram and rahit were scheming as usual and moram suggested that rahit becomes a knight and outshine the other knights in order to forward their plans of toppling the Nobles in the city as the Airhead crew left Idora they discussed their goal of reaching orria mountain and Roy suggested they visit several towns along the way to get info and restock on supplies Ben the loudmouth of the group Cleo asked if they could call quel a prince but quel said they should

refer to him normally since he was just an average Joe and Roy said it makes sense to hide his identity since he was from from the past before long Maria obstructed their journey and immediately she showed up they could feel her overwhelming magic power and she gave them a hands on experience of it as she blasted them with a dark wave quel immediately got in front and blocked her attack so she commended him but quel then asked where her demon allies were and she said the demons had nothing to do with her quel then asked

what she wanted so she appeared at his back in an instant and said she wanted to play before trying to carve out his head quel stopped her attack and pushed her back so she was stunned about his power upgrade but when he pinned her down she confirmed that he was using the power of the Holy sword she pushed him back and wondered how he could use Kyle's power so Cleo told her that quel was Kyle's son Maria then said that the holy sword was luis's curse and that quel had become luis's puppet as well before

Vanishing into a mist of Darkness on their way to the orria mountain the gang moved towards a certain town and Cleo was excited about visiting that town because it had so many great foods and locations which made it a dream tourist spot for her when they got into town Cleo wasted no time before spending all of Frey's money on some street food after stuffing their faces Cleo suggested they visit some more fun spots but they declined so she gaslighted them with a heroic story about how the the town survived a war 30 years ago using

the power of friendship so Roy suggested they find an inn so they could rest before continuing their trip they ended up going along with Cleo's sightseeing wishes and at the end of it they realized that they had no cash left so Cleo suggested they find a way to make money in town she later found them a job at an inn where they were paid and given a free room in exchange for serving customers there so all of them with the exception of quel spent the day doing bar work that evening quel was chopping up some

wood and remembered Maria's parting words to him so he wondered if the holy sword's power was truly a curse meanwhile Cleo couldn't stop herself from showing off her magic to the surrounding maids and ended up starting a fire at the bar after getting kicked out of the bar the crew were at a spot in town where Cleo was sulking and Roy explained to kaser and Frey that Cleo was a wild child because she had no experience with the outside world and also told them about a time she blew up a building which made Dominics to

advise her to put her potential to good use Frey then joined Cleo where she was resting and Cleo apologized before saying she wished for an older sister like Frey Frey was baffled so Cleo explained that her mother died when she was little and although she didn't remember her mother's face she remembered how her mother Twisted Spider-Man's quote and told her that great power comes with great sadness she said she often wondered what it meant and wished she could ask her mom but Frey said she could understand what her mom meant if she practiced magic more

since she believed that Cleo and her mom were still connected shd Cleo fell asleep afterwards the next morning quel and Frey woke up but couldn't find Roy but they stumbled onto a note which said he'd left to make some money for them when Frey brought up how Cleo was ing as well the pink-haired devil they spoke of showed up and said she'd found work for them in a restaurant on the outskirts of town but she eventually noticed that Roy was missing Roy was out pedaling some of his fancy equipment while the restal and Fry followed

Cleo to the outskirts restaurant which didn't look like the ice Sky version of KFC they were expecting they met a scary looking old hag named Madam wolf who instantly put them through tons of stressful work on them and after seeing Cleo's magical ability she put her through a thousand times more work than the others afterwards Cleo got into a yapping contest with the old hag and afterwards Madam wolf put her through some more nightmarish work while mocking her in the process when they were done with work Madame wolf treated them to a Meal which they

confessed was far better than all the road crap they'd been eating she then told them that she hadn't cooked in a long time since people rarely L showed up to her restaurant and quel suggested she' do some advert but she said she didn't mind since she cooked slowly using charcoal fire Cleo was about to suggest making use of her flame magic but she remembered what happened in the last restaurant and hesitated but the Madam wolf said she should absolutely desist from using flame magic in that area they asked why so she explained that the area

which used to be a big town was raised down by a war which involved a lot of flames and demons that caused her loved ones to die and she said the restaurant was all that remained in that area she showed them a bunch of gravestones lined up outside which were the former towns folk and said she absolutely didn't want flame magic to be used in that area again Cleo argued that magic is used for saving people and not hurting others but Madam wolf said a mage tried protecting her people during the war but it led

to a great tragedy and Cleo saw the old hag shed a tear a while later Cleo looked at the graves and thought about her mother's words wondering if this was the great sadness she was referring to but then a horde of demons showed up and Cleo noticed that some demons were already closed to the restaurant quel told Frey to take care of Madame wolf and knocked out a demon knight as he ran out to face the rest of the Demons Frey told Madame wolf to escape through the back door while she covered the front so

the old hag ran off quel slashed up a bunch of demons and soon he was joined by Cleo who knocked a couple of them down with her staff eventually the numbers gain caught up to them and Madam wolf had to save Cleo by throwing a stone at a demon inadvertently revealing her hiding spot in the process as the demon approached Madame wolf Cleo tried to save her but couldn't use her magic after remembering Wolf's tragic words and on see this Madame wolf knew she'd messed up the demon soon overpowered Cleo so Madam wolf yelled that

she should use her magic adding that the present is more important than the past the demons tried attacking her again but Frey protected her with a shield before Cleo used an epic spell to create a rain of fireballs that turned the demons into pork roast afterwards she apologized to the Madam but the Madam said it was okay since she was putting her life on the line for her friends and the two hotheads embraced each other Roy soon arrived at their location so Cleo chewed him out for being late and told him about the demons they

just fought he showed her the pile of cash he made where they were playing around with the old hag and before Cleo could get her hands on it Frey grabbed their cash and offered to be the group's new Treasurer the next day the crew left Madam Wolf's restaurant and Cleo now had Clarity on what it meant to be a mage sometime later the blackedge elves were flexing their skills on some poor demons and riine put the fight to an end as she ripped apart the last remaining demons around afterwards rahit reported to milum that the

mission was a success and milum told him that Baal wants to see him before revealing that the kingdom was planning to launch a formal operation to hunt demons which he claimed would give rahit a chance to Showcase his skills once again later that evening rahit even dropped as an astrologist named opilia told baale and the princess Scarlet that the day of Lee the goddess of Darkness was approaching which involved the nocturnal Sun Crossing with the moon to bring Terror on the world she said that the Stars whispered to her that the dark lord amund would

show up during this Terror and baale feared that the kingdom was cooked since Kyle wasn't around and their King was practically a vegetable but Scarlet assured him that the knights would defend the kingdom Scarlet said she'd never let the Demon Lord trample over orilia and told ofilia to keep reading the stars and as she made her way rahit came out to meet them Baal introduced Scarlet as the princess as well as the commander of knights and after Scarlet complimented his squad for all their hard work during the demon invasions she proposed that black Edge join

the knights rahit humbly agreed so she asked him to join the knights for a general meeting the next morning before leaving rahit returned his expensive and told him that money wouldn't save him if demons broke into the town Scarlet then declared that the black Edge were their friends as of that day and forbade anyone from disrespecting them she then resumed the meeting and asked a KN named demia for some new info so demia said she got word of numerous demon sightings in the forest of Idora Scarlet then asked for rahat's opinion so he said they

could send some Scouts to investigate that area before suggesting that they reorganize the defending Knights to be able to protect more people and although zero felt like poking his ears out Scarlet liked rahat's ideas rahit was so disgusted by the idea of dark elves joining the knights that he went to whine to his father who was one of the Nobles the Nobles burst his bubble by telling him they didn't have a choice since black Edge was their best option to defend orilia and his father agreed as well the next day Tam went into the City

and was surprised to see that everyone in town was being nice to him because of black edges help in slaying demons and he decided to take the W but in an alley some armed humans blocked his path he resisted the urge to take them down when he remembered rahat's orders so he ran instead soon he got cornered and douchebags injured him and kicked him to the ground but before they could finish him off his blackedge comrades saved him and scared them off the comrade noticed that he had a fever and a nice human girl Tam

met at a bread shop offered to call a doctor but he declined saying they didn't want to cause trouble before carrying Tam away when they got to the black Edge Hideout rahit commended Tam for holding back and when Tam made fun of the humans that attacked him rahit realized that they were sent by zero milum speculated that zero was jealous of rahit and rahit said that zero succeeding with his plans of driving black Edge out would be bad for their plans so milum said he'd alert the Nobles while rahit looked for evidence the next day

rahit told Scarlet about the incident and she apologized before zero dropped by and trolled him when rahit returned to the black Edge base that evening rip Hine showed him the blade of one of Tam's attackers and he instantly recognized the crest on the blade as zeros so he rushed out a while later he accompanied by riine intercepted Zero's moving wagon and scared the crap out of him until he confessed reheat then unsheath his sword but before he could split that piece of trash in two Zero's father jumped out and begged for him to spare his

son so rahit warned them to stay away from his friends when they got back to their base Tam thanked rahit for doing Batman on his behalf and rahit assured him that those bozos won't bother them anymore sometime later rahit and riine stared at the stars and riine remembered how she was balling her eyes out after some orelans killed their mom and back then rahit promised that he'd get revenge for their mom back in real time ripin said they'd come far and rahit looked at a mysterious item as he agreed sometime later Cleo and the Airhead

crew were walking through a forest and goofing off as usual when a weird little girl popped out from one of the bushes and St stared at them before running away eventually they made it to a village nearby where they met a guy named hendle who introduced himself as the mayor of the village before telling them that his building used to be a Community Hall but was now a shelter quel asked what happened so he explained that a nearby town was attacked by demons so the people escaped into their Village Frey saw a lady get injured

while trying to lift a log so she healed her and hendle was pleased to find out that she was a priestess he told them that the villagers were working together to build new houses but pointed out that they lacked Manpower so Frey offered to help along with the team sometime later Frey met some little girls in the shelter and helped them braid their hair and soon the mysterious little girl from the forest walked into the room Frey tried to start up a conversation with her but the little girl ran away so one of the little

girls around told Frey that the mystery girl's name name was Elise and she didn't talk or laugh with anyone Frey asked about her parents but the girl said they weren't in the area and implied that they may be dead meanwhile Elise was in the garden admiring some flowers when Frey came by and embraced her while using her magic to try to make her feel better the rest of the Airhead crew were already making plans to split when Frey arrived and begged them to stay for the night to fulfill what she called a selfish desire of

her so they agreed Pendle was pleased to hear that they were staying over and when Frey offered to play with the kids he agreed and said it was great since the parents around couldn't find time to play with the kids Frey met up with the little ones in a room and suggested they made something called a wreath and the girls didn't know what it was so she took them outside and made a circular weave of flowers which she said they could wear or hang on top of their doors they asked her to teach them so

Frey sent them to get some flowers and soon Frey went to give Elise a personal lesson on making wreaths but she ran off a while later Frey asked the girls to draw up some pictures and when a little girl tried to borrow one of Elisa's crayons she smacked her hand and when Frey tried talking to her she ran off again quel was outside proving himself to be the ultimate wood chopping machine when he saw Elise staring at some yellow flowers Frey came came outside and asked Elise what was wrong before noticing that Elise was drawing

the very flowers she was staring at so she asked if she liked the flowers Alise said her mom likes the flowers and when Frey asked what happened to her mom Alise said that demons killed her mom before crying out loud while Frey embraced her sometime later Frey and Elise used those yellow flowers to bake up some snacks which they served to everyone at the shelter and they all loved it and asked her to make more of it for them later afterwards Frey watched proudly as she saw Alise socializing with the other little girls at the

shelter for the first time that evening handle praised her for helping Elise open up and then he asked her to stay over at their Village he added that she could help mend the hearts of many people in that Village if she stayed and he asked her to think about it while Cleo who was eavesdropping freaked out that evening Frey went to check on the kids and Cleo told the guys that the mayor tried to recruit Frey and they all said they said Frey wouldn't abandon them because she was a precious companion of theirs meanwhile Frey

went to tuck Elise in but Elise suddenly woke up and begged her to stay the next day handle and the rest of the adults said their goodbyes to the Airhead crew and afterwards Elise took Frey into a barn room and locked her in from the outside Frey tried to convince her to open the doors but Alise told her to stay with them forever and ran away afterwards quel went to find Frey and he met Elise along the way when he asked about Frey she took him to the barn where she was locked but on the

outside they were attacked by a worm demon quel tried desperately to attack it but the slithery sucker dodged all his strikes by hiding underground Frey who was watching the struggle from the barn heard another worm demon under the ground and tried to warn quel but he couldn't hear her she then broke through the barn door and arrived just in time to save Elise from getting swallowed by a worm monster before quel took it out the second worn monster hid underground and Frey saw that Elise was feeling down so she comforted her but when she looked

in Alisa's eyes she remembered how she met quel when the worm monster attacked again Frey claimed they'd never lose to demons and she pushed it back with a blast before quel finished it off afterwards they met up with the Villagers and said their goodbyes to them after telling them about the demons while Frey made a promise to Elise to return one day so they could make more snacks on their way out of the village the Airhead quartet played around together and ate up a bunch of tasty cookies together few days later the team arrived at

a town that had been ravaged by demons and they spotted a certain man standing afar which Cleo said she was getting strange vibes from quel being a typical halfwit threw all caution into the wind and approached this man but before the man could attack him Roy took the stranger down with the most Jackie chanes kick ever and told quel that he was an undead the undead man got up again but before he could attack again Roy slashed his head off soon they noticed they were surrounded by Undead and when they got a weird signal from

a stranger they all ran towards him but Cleo lacked basic cardio ability so she had to create a wall of fire to keep the zombies back soon they met up with the stranger at his home and thanked him for his help so he introduced himself as Johan and told them that the undead reacted to loud noises Roy asked him why the undead were in the area so Johan explained that his village was once attacked by demons and the demons turned the corpses of the victimized villagers into Undead which killed everyone in the village other than

himself he explained that he was the sole survivor because he was smart enough to stack up food and resources in his bunker when the undead attacked then Frey saw the yellow flowers which Elise admired and called her name so Johan freaked out and said Elise was his daughter before asking how she's doing Frey assured him that she was fine and they decided to take him to see her but Johan said he couldn't leave that Village when Johan asked what brought them into the village they told him they were making their way to the oga mountain

so he told them to crash at his place for the night and offered to show them the way the next day that night quel asked what Undead were so Roy and Cleo explained that they were moving corpses which the demons could control and when Frey thought about helping the undead villagers Roy said there was no way to fix them Cleo suggested they go out to slay all the undead but Roy told her they needed to focus on acquiring the holy sword later that night quel snuck out of his room and saw that Johan had been

keeping Alisa's mom Lisa who was now an undead in the basement quel shared what he'd leared with the team and despite his attempts to be a Boy Scout and let the creep get away with keeping an undead Roy suggested they question Johan when Johan came out from the basement they asked him about the undead in the basement so he explained that Lisa was killed so he captured her corpse and kept her there then he acted paranoid as he suggested that Lisa was only sick and not dead but Roy told him there was no way to

bring her back Johan said he couldn't leave Lisa so Frey asked him about Elise but he still suggested he had to be with Lisa quel then gave him a pep talk about how family is important and encouraged him to go see Elise so he asked for a moment alone with Lisa he tried having a conversation with the zombie about Elise but Lisa broke free from one of her arm restraints and scared the crap out of him after the guys helped him tie her back up Roy told him he didn't have any choice but to put

her to rest by impaling her neck so Johan freaked out then a hord of Undead came by the house so the team ran out to face them Johan cried as he said the zombie wasn't Lisa since it didn't remember Elise so he slashed its neck on the outside Cleo blasted many of them with flame magic before quel joined the fight and slashed a couple of them down while claiming he'd protect everyone back at orvia black Edge returned after a successful demon raid and all of them were stunned to see that they were getting praised by

the people instead of getting the usual scorn ofilia remembered what happened to her mother and said she wished for orelans to die but Tam decided to go look for the girl who helped him when he was attacked he went to the bread store where he first saw her but the baker said she wasn't there before directing him to The Confectionary where she worked Rahat met up with claw at the knight's headquarters and Claus thanked him for saving quel and Frey but rahit said he didn't know who they were meanwhile Scarlet met her father in bed

and told him about the black Edge and how the knights had been working with them he warned her to be careful around the dark elves so she told him not to worry about her before wishing him better health after she left the room demia noticed she was pale and advised her to get some rest but Scarlet said she couldn't because the day of Lee was approaching afterwards they reminisce about a time in the past when Scarlet motivated demia to leave her rich girl life and join the nights and demia said that back then sworn an

oath to become Scarlet's Shield then rahit showed up and Scarlet said she needed to talk to him so she dismissed demia meanwhile the lover boy Tam hovered around the girl's shop like a helpless bee until a bunch of kids stopped by and forced him into the shop to meet her elsewhere scarlet told rahit about how her father sacrificed himself to defend the people against all threats and how she intended to look after the people of the Kingdom since the Nobles only cared about themselves afterwards they bonded for a bit before she asked why he fought

demons for them so he replied that killing demons was all they could do at the same time Tam returned the girl's handkerchief and asked for her name so she introduced herself as Sheila afterwards he told her he'd recovered from his injuries and bragged about how he'd have smoked those attackers if he was serious so she offered to treat him to some homemade snacks which he graciously accepted the next day Scarlet rallied the knights about the upcoming war on the day of Lee before asking for some opinions on how to stop the dark lord RIT suggest

suggested they investigate the gallowa plains where they believed the dark lord would respond from and Scarlet said they needed to go as a big group so they decided that the black Edge would join the Expedition sometime later Sheila gave Tam some cakes and they flirted for a bit before he ate them up and told her they were delicious when Tam got back to the black Edge Hideout he was brutally questioned about his meetings with Sheila by one of his comrades but when rahit came back and heard what happened he said he trusted Tam and advised

him to make the right move afterwards Tam had a talk on the outside with riine and told her he appreciated being loved by the people as well as Sheila and asked her if she desired happiness beyond their Revenge Quest riine narrated how her brother took care of her since the day their mother died which made her decide to help her brother no matter what she then asked if he could forgive the people of orilia because of his love for Sheila and threatened to kill him if he got in rahat's way the next day Tam met

up with Sheila and gave her some flowers for a cake before explaining to her that he hated his birthday because when he was young orvan soldiers killed his family on that day Sheila then asked why he fights the demons for orilia but Tam replied that he didn't do it for orilia but added that he intended to change the world into a world without suffering on a mountain somewhere Maria met up with maldu who told her how hyped up he was about bringing Calamity upon the human race once again he then remembered a time in the

past when he discovered that the princess of the Republic of gray named Jane had fallen in love with a knight named Theo and he chewed them out when he caught them saying romantic things to each other back then the king died so maldu used his powers of forbidden magic to bring him back and Theo threatened to Exile him for defiling the king he boasted about it and called himself a God but Theo wasn't having any of that so he forcefully exiled maldu afterwards mduk felt bitter and desired to bring hell on Earth so the humans

would experience Terror back in real time maldu was still going on about his goals so Maria offered to help him bring the dark lord back elsewhere quel and the Gang reached orc territory and saw an orc Shaman named kala as well as his underling named Dale fighting some Undead Orcs so quel jumped in to help them quel saved kala by chopping down a huge orc zombie and Cleo used her fire shower spell to destroy all the surrounding Undead Orcs afterwards kala thanked quel and the Gang and when Dale tried to stop them from entering orc

lands even further kala told Dale that he'd been expecting them so they set a prayer and let them in kala later explained to the team that he knew quel was coming because he got word from ancestral Spirits in his dream about how quel would bring hope to the world in a future chaos quel then requested to see eatlah the orc Chief in order to undo the seal on the holy sword but kala said iolla was already 6 feet under but added that the current chief Sie could have received instructions from iatola concerning the matter when

quel requested to meet SE Dale said that se forbade humans from entering their lands due to a past incident where a sorcerer turned their people into Undead quel however still insisted on meeting SE so kala decided to take him to the Chief and said that he'd fight to protect him if SE went Bonkers and attack them Dale tried to convince him otherwise so kala explained that he needed to help the heir of the Holy sword as he was instructed in the dream kala however said that he could only go into their land with quel because

if he went in with multiple humans the orc people could lose their so the gang agreed to stay outside and wait after casil left with Dale and kala the team goofed off at the entrance but then some other Orcs showed up and tried to attack them but Cleo and Frey talked them out of it but then they saw that Cleo had drawn some trash on one of their runes so they got mad again meanwhile kala introduced quel to Chief s and after quel told them his goal say asked for quel to defeat him as a

way to prove himself as the heir kala however suggested that the heir must live so he offered to fight in his place but before their fight could start quel tried using some talk no Jutsu to convince him otherwise but SE used a tried to crush him with his weapon and when he saw that quel didn't Flinch he agreed to help quel since he'd confirmed his heroic nature s then directed him to their holy Shrine to retrieve something and added that it was a brutal place that would test him but then some Orcs arrived and introduced

the rest of the Airhead crew as s bunch of criminals who defiled their Fountain s then said they'd be held hostage and stipulated that if quel died at the holy Shrine they'd kill his friends as well sometime kala took quel to the holy Shrine and told him to find a sacred altar where his test would be given to him quel walked through a dark tunnel and eventually made it to the alt but there he heard a voice that asked him to show his heart and after getting overwhelmed by the voice for a while he heard

a much calmer voice that asked him to show his heart then he got transported to a Dark Realm which had a door and when he opened the door he transformed into his younger self and had a bit of motherson bonding time with the spirit of Arlette meanwhile the guard Orcs that captured quil's teammates laughed about the idea of a weasel like quel being the heir and concl cluded that he'd die along with his friends but Cleo opened her loud mouth again and told them that quel was the true Heir since he'd already broken a seal

the guards gave her the silent treatment for a bit and later informed her and the Gang that they were getting moved to a different location back at the holy Shrine quel enjoyed more playtime with his mom while kala Faithfully waited for him at the entrance quel soon started to remember arlette's death and when he loudly told the spirit that his mother was dead he transformed back into his adult form the spirit resembling arlet tried convincing him to stay in that happy memory with her where he didn't have any worries but quel claimed he needed to

get the holy sword no matter what so he could save people in danger Arlette reminded him that he could never see her again if he left but quel said he didn't want to lose anyone again and left the room after he woke up in the real world Quil saw the Spirit of Chief yatah who congratulated him on beating his Illusions and said he'd have been trapped in that illusion if he gave in to his desires iatola then wished him good luck in his future battles and gave him a special Talisman which he then picked up

eventually quel returned with kala to meet Chief SE and when quel gave SE the Talisman the chief used it to undo the holy sword's second seal Cleo once again pestered quel with questions about whether he could feel himself becoming a Super Saiyan but he said he couldn't feel anything however maldu who was Miles Away could feel his power and the dark wizard instantly realized it was the Holy sword's power SE advised quel to remember his experience at The Shrine and become a stranger Warrior before promising to fight by his side when the time comes the

same way iatola did for King Kyle se's parting words were interrupted when maldu showed up and asked for the holy sword maldu then introduced himself as the one who created the undead Orcs that attacked their land and when SE tried to attack him he stopped the chief in his tracks with a massive dark blast when SE got back up maldu finished him off with another dark blast so quel and the Gang charged towards him at once maldu easily dodged the others attacks but when he crossed weapons with quel he felt the holy sword's power after

a bit of a brawl quel managed to cut off a few strands of mald Duck's hair so maldu got pissed off and fired a massive dark blast that took out Frey when maldu started gloating quel got engaged and attacked him relentlessly but he dodged all quel strikes quel dodged his blasts as well and soon had him cornered quel started glowing so maldu noticed the power surge and escaped into a dark portal so quil's attack caused an explosion that took himself out quil's quest for the Holy sword's power is looking really hard isn't it well for
