Ronan decoded the metal plate’s map to the Fire Leaving Realm and reached Glow Mist City with Serena, where he began negotiating support for her claim to the throne. The chapter left Ronan ready to inspect Serena’s Royal Treasuries and hear about her troubles.

• Ronan’s metal plate puzzle revealed a map to the Fire Leaving Realm, and Alazan asked him to retrieve Fire Dragon Marrow from a former wizard’s laboratory there.

• Ronan asked Serena to explain her troubles as they walked toward her garden.

Serena told Ronan that the Life Empire would hold the Holy Grail Proof in three years, a contest meant to test her claim to Garcia Alba’s place.

• Serena said six sets remained under the Alba Family’s control and that combining them could form a complete Life Set capable of touching the laws of the world.

Ronan settled in Glow Mist City, learned about Serena’s rivals for the throne, and reunited at a distance with Grace. He then left secretly and attacked Fomingge’s airship, confronting him with the question of why he had come after him.

• Ronan questioned Serena about the Power of Law and the five heirs competing for the Life Royal Court’s throne, then saw Adam arrive with his Winged Unicorn Horse, Polly.

• Ronan secretly flew to the wilderness on Eris and destroyed Fomingge’s approaching airship with Itai.
• Fomingge accused Ronan of relentlessly pursuing him, and Ronan removed his Dawn Mask and asked him to guess why.

Ronan defeated Fomingge and learned that Fomingge had threatened Orian and Kosti to provoke him. He imprisoned Fomingge in the reverse side of Minotaur’s Maze and set out to find Kosti.

• Ronan revealed his identity to Fomingge and overwhelmed him with the Golden Flame Blade and golden Itai Torrent.
• Fomingge showed Ronan Orian’s eyeball and Kosti’s hair ribbon, then taunted him about Kosti confronting the Elemental Magic Ring.

• Ronan restrained Fomingge, drove four Nails of the Soul into him, and sent him into the reverse side of Minotaur’s Maze.
• Ronan picked up Kosti’s hair ribbon and softly spoke her name.

Ronan used Defense and Speed Holy Shrine powers to reach the sealed entrance to the Sinking Eye, where he failed to break through and had to postpone his search for the Golden Village inheritance. After returning to Glow Mist City, he learned Orian was alive and unharmed, but Kosti existed only as a soul.

• Ronan took the eyeball from Fomingge's Space Ring, worried that Kosti and Orian might have been caught up in the investigation of his supposed death, and asked A Ni to find them.
• Ronan traveled to the Sinking Eye and used Defense and Speed Holy Shrine powers to cross its hazardous energy currents.
• Ronan's Forbidden Black Hole spell barely dented the barrier sealing the Sinking Eye, so he turned back without reaching the Golden Village inheritance.
• Ronan returned to Glow Mist City and met with A Ni, who reported that Orian was alive, unharmed, and staying at the seventh branch of the Elemental Magic Ring.
• A Ni told Ronan that Kosti currently existed in the form of a soul.

Ronan found Kosti imprisoned in a crystal ball inside Fomingge’s secret realm and freed her, then trapped Fomingge and Daisy in the Minotaur’s Maze. After nearly letting his hatred consume him, Ronan heeded Alazan’s warning and turned his attention back to the Mirror of Emptiness.

• Ronan entered Fomingge’s secret realm with Daisy and learned she had been kept there among the magical experiments and human-headed Monsters.
• Daisy produced Kosti, whose soul was sealed inside a crystal ball, and Ronan shattered it to free her.
• Kosti mistook Ronan for her brother Shelby before he embraced her and told her he had returned.
• Ronan sent Fomingge and Daisy into the Minotaur’s Maze, where Fomingge struggled to protect her from the Monsters.
• Alazan warned Ronan not to let hatred consume him, and Ronan regained his composure before considering the Mirror of Emptiness.

Ronan weighed whether to trap Hecalto in Minotaur’s Endless Labyrinth, then accompanied Serena to open one of her Royal Treasuries. Inside, Alazan sensed a living Clarity Snake, and Ronan began searching for it.

• Ronan decided to wait until he reached Level Five before deciding whether to challenge Hecalto with Minotaur’s Endless Labyrinth, and Alazan explained that Kosti would need soul nurturing before following a path of spirit witchcraft.
• Serena brought Ronan the requested soul-treatment materials and preparations for his advancement, then led him to a valley where the Life Royal Court was constructing an entrance to her Royal Treasury.
• Serena confronted Ronan about Fomingge’s disappearance, and Ronan admitted he had killed him; Serena said neither she nor the Elemental Magic Ring would investigate.
• As Serena opened the Treasury, Prophet Eve’s glass bead cracked, and Serena encountered her rival brother Edward Alba through a watery curtain; she identified him as a powerful heir backed by the Twilight Council.
• Ronan entered Serena’s poorest Royal Treasury, where Alazan detected a living Clarity Snake, and Ronan released his Star Force Field to search the blue desert.

Ronan captured a Clarity Snake in the Alba Royal Treasury and collected its brain fluid to brew a Clarity Potion. In another treasury, he unearthed a Source of Destruction, which Alazan said could be used by Ronan’s World Devouring Insect.

• Ronan released chaotic thoughts to lure out a Clarity Snake, which attacked Serena after she sensed it nearby.
• Ronan suppressed the Clarity Snake, drained its brain fluid, and stored the dormant creature in the Mirror of Emptiness.
• Serena accused Ronan of using her as bait, but she regained her composure and led him to the next treasury.
• Ronan excavated a black egg from the fifth treasury and stored it with the surrounding clay and spring water in a separate Space Ring.
• Alazan identified the black egg as a Source of Destruction and told Ronan he could use it with his World Devouring Insect.

Ronan restored the Mist Space, repaired his soul with Clarity Potion, and advanced the Primordial Star Meditation Technique to Master Level, awakening the ability to Sense Stars. He discovered that the new power reached beyond the distant stars and began affecting the Helamus Law Control Armlet.

• Ronan placed the World Devouring Insect in the Space Ring with the Source of Destruction, where it fed on tainted clay and water before beginning to reproduce.
• Ronan cared for the recovering Saint Blood Tree, attempted to subdue the Clarity Snake, and began preparing Clarity Potion.
• After three months, Ronan repaired the Elemental Pool and drank his thirteenth Clarity Potion, clearing the lingering damage to his soul and raising his Spiritual Power to 120% of a Level Four Wizard.
• Ronan's improved soul aptitude helped him break through to Master Level in the Primordial Star Meditation Technique, and his new Sense Stars ability connected his consciousness to an enormous celestial boulder in the void.
• Ronan sensed that Sense Stars could do more than reach distant stars, then took up the Helamus Law Control Armlet as it began vibrating in his hand.

Ronan used the Law Control Armlet to deepen his connection to the stars, then spent two months developing his combat techniques while considering how to reach Level Five and challenge Juventus. A prophetic Gray Moth led him into the wilderness, where he encountered Sarlange, now a peak Level Five wizard of the Twilight Council.

• Ronan used the Law Control Armlet to sense a distant meteor and realized the Helamus Inheritance might let him summon one, though he could not yet draw it down.
• After two months of research, Ronan strengthened Forbidden Black Hole and Void Hole Butterfly with Sense Stars, then concluded that reaching Level Five and cultivating an Eight-Star primal spirit was essential to contending with Juventus.
• A crack appeared in the black glass bead containing the Gray Moth, and Ronan received Serena's letter saying she had departed alone for the heirs' Holy Grail Proof gathering.
• The bead shattered as Ronan traveled, and the Gray Moth led him to a wildflower; after three days, it guided him toward the sunset horizon.
• The Gray Moth concealed Ronan as Sarlange, wearing Twilight Council robes, approached; Ronan spoke his name, revealing himself and drawing Sarlange's attention.

Ronan confronted Sarlange after the Truth Identifying Moth exposed his monstrous form as an Abyss Demon. As Sarlange overwhelmed him in close combat, Ronan unleashed a strengthened Black Hole Meteor Fall and followed it with a Golden Flame Blade strike.

• The Truth Identifying Moth revealed Sarlange's scaled, inhuman body, and Sarlange recognized Ronan beneath the Dawn Mask.
• Sarlange surrounded Ronan with gray mist and ghostly figures, but Ronan countered with golden lava and a vast Golden Cloud Sea.
• Ronan's Golden Chainsaw Tentacle crushed Sarlange's spell and drove him into a deep pit, where Sarlange shed his disguise and revealed his Abyss Demon form.

• Ronan used Double Law Control to form a powerful Black Hole Meteor Fall and guided the black sun down toward Sarlange.
• Ronan drew a blade of gold and fire and slashed toward Sarlange's neck as the black meteor descended.

Ronan fought Sarlange across the wilderness, but Sarlange survived the black hole meteor and transformed into a monstrous servant of the Mother of Fear and Lies. After Sarlange trapped Ronan in fear and spider silk, Ronan broke free by awakening his Innocent Body and thirteen Spiral Palaces.

• Ronan used the black hole meteor to devastate the wilderness, but Sarlange survived the blast with much of his body destroyed.
• Sarlange implanted strange living flesh into his wound and transformed into a giant spider-like monster empowered by the Mother of Fear and Lies.
• Sarlange overwhelmed Ronan with his aura and fear, trapping him in a cocoon of purple-black spider silk as Ronan tried to activate Magic Transformation.
• Ronan burst out of the cocoon in white flames, seized Sarlange, and emerged from a vast sea of blood after destroying Sarlange's spider phantom.
• Ronan thanked Sarlange for breaking the seal of the Stone of Destiny and awakened his Ascetic Body Forging, Grandmaster level—Innocent Body, and Thirteen Spiral Palaces.

After his Ascetic Body Forging reached Grandmaster, Ronan used his newly awakened power to kill Sarlange and absorb his soul. Back at the misty space, he uncovered the connection between Sarlange, the Mother of Fear and Lies, and an ancient wizard conspiracy, then found an ancient inheritance in Sarlange’s remains.

• Ronan’s Innocent Body and blood-red Spirit Force overwhelmed Sarlange’s defenses, and Ronan tore him apart and captured his soul in the Bone Bell for Aihaxia.
• Ronan emerged from the lake reborn, checked on Kosti’s soul, and watched Sarlange’s corpse decompose in the Elemental Pool.
• Ronan learned from Alazan that the Mother of Fear and Lies belonged to the Abyss Demon race and considered the threat of the Ancient Wizard World Destruction Society, whose badge he had found among Sarlange’s possessions.
• Ronan realized that curse power nourished his Innocent Body and that enduring Sarlange’s fear curse had increased his Ascetic Body Forging proficiency.
• The Elemental Pool expelled a strange bone fragment from Sarlange’s corpse, and Ronan identified it as the inheritance of [Nether Demon Twelve Palaces]—Sagadi Corpse Accumulation Court.

Ronan practiced the Sagadi Corpse Accumulation Court and learned that it belonged to the primordial Death Omen Star, then explored his evolved body’s control over the Dead Sea’s power. He later met Serena, who told him the Holy Grail Proof’s time and location had been confirmed and urged him to depart at once.

• Alazan identified Ronan’s bone fragment as part of the Death Omen Star’s primordial inheritance, an organization founded by twelve supreme Level Nine Wizards.
• A month later, Ronan practiced the Sagadi Corpse Accumulation Court, sensed the Sagadi starfield, and realized that building its Corpse Accumulation Court required corpses he did not yet have.
• Ronan tested his evolved Innocent Body and found that sound and melody were closely connected to his control of the scarlet Dead Sea’s power.
• Ronan returned to Glow Mist City as Golden Dawn and met Serena, who angrily questioned his absence and announced that the Holy Grail Proof’s time and location were confirmed.
• Serena promised to prepare Ronan’s requested materials, Spirit Shaping Liquid, and Spirit Shaping Array at the trial site, then left while Ronan wondered what grievances she had suffered.

Ronan reached the Valley of Gilded Doors with Serena and spent months preparing to advance from Level Four to Level Five as rival heirs and their forces gathered. When a masked man attacked Serena, Ronan intervened with a beam of dawnlike energy.

• Ronan and Serena arrived early at the Valley of Gilded Doors, where Serena explained that the Holy Grail Proof trial would begin when the vault doors opened.
• Eremod Illynita arrived amid crimson fire clouds, and Serena told Ronan that his Ancient Red Dragon Bloodline had awakened after his defeat by Juventus.
• Gunter Alba's arrival triggered a fierce clash with Senivan Alba's forces, and Ronan suspected that Tangista's wizards had become involved.
• After half a year, Ronan prepared a ritual pool for his Level Five advancement while Serena confronted a masked man who demanded she yield to Wolin.
• The masked man attacked Serena with dark-yellow tentacles, and Ronan's dawn-bright energy beam pierced him.

Ronan stopped a Ghost Flower Society wizard from attacking Serena, then learned that the Society backed Wolin Alba’s bid for the throne. Just before entering the Spirit Shaping Array to advance, Ronan sensed the Ice Ring and flew to confront an arriving ice-blue aurora, whose wielder challenged him over his use of fire magic.

• Ronan cut the masked wizard’s throat with his Itai fragments, and the man retreated after hearing Ronan’s name, Misha Tirions.
• Serena told Ronan that the attacker served Wolin Alba, whose mysterious Ghost Flower Society supporters were powerful Level Six wizards, and explained that Katie was backed by a Frost Leader.
• Ronan recalled Princess Katie’s encounter with Elsa, a powerful Northernmost Land wizard, as the Silver-Haired Witch finished preparing the Spirit Shaping Array.
• Ronan entered the array to begin preparing for his advancement, but an Ice Ring mark appeared in his eyes and he abruptly flew into the sky.
• An ice-blue aurora covered the Valley of Gilded Doors in frost, and Ronan’s golden magic clashed with its wielder as powerful wizards from the five factions sensed the battle.
• The unseen opponent called Ronan the inheritor of the other half of the Ice Ring and mocked his use of fire magic, so Ronan answered by summoning crimson ice.

Ronan fought Elsa, the Frost Leader, over the Ice Ring, revealing his Scarlet Ice and Mara Body powers against her eight-star Elemental Spirit. When their Ice Ring marks joined, a burst of white light transported both of them away, leaving the arriving wizards to find an empty battlefield.

• Ronan unleashed Scarlet Ice in the Valley of Gilded Doors and pursued Elsa after she attacked him with powerful freezing magic.
• Elsa demanded the other half of the Ice Ring, and Ronan confronted her about the Lanster Family and the Ice Flame Iris.
• Ronan and Elsa fought across a storm of frost, until Elsa revealed her eight-star Elemental Spirit and overwhelmed him with freezing power.
• Ronan exploded his halberd and frost construct to conceal his escape, then emerged in his Fifteen-Layered Spiral Palace Mara Body and captured Elsa.
• Ronan asked Elsa about her mark, but their Ice Ring marks merged and a flash of white light transported them both away.

Ronan and Elsa endured the Ice Emperor inheritance’s endless Snow Field trial until they reached the ancient Ice Emperor, Chaguskona, who restored Ronan’s memories and began telling his story. Chaguskona revealed that his legendary hunt was for the Primordial Frost Whale, a being surviving from the Mythological Era and close to the mythical level.

• Ronan and Elsa entered the Ice Emperor’s realm, agreed to a temporary truce, and crossed the unchanging Snow Field for what felt like centuries.
• Elsa began to lose her mind, so Ronan knocked her unconscious, carried her, and kept walking until he forgot his own identity.
• Ronan’s perception merged with the Snow Field, and he discovered the aged Chaguskona seated on a thorn throne; a shattered ice mirror restored Ronan’s memories and youth.
• Chaguskona gave Elsa a drop of primordial-grade bloodline power, which enveloped her in a cocoon shaped by a frost dragon.
• Chaguskona revealed that he had once been named Chaguskona, meaning “Whale Eater,” and recounted how he searched the ice field for the perfect whale beast.
• Chaguskona told Ronan that he had finally hunted the Primordial Frost Whale, and Ronan realized the vast white expanse he had witnessed was likely the creature’s enormous body.

Ronan completed Chaguskona’s inheritance trial by using the White Sun to lure Hecalto onto the Ice Crystal Throne, where he merged with Chaguskona and captured the nine-headed serpent. After leaving the secret realm, Ronan began inheriting the Primordial Frost Whale bloodline and experienced the whale’s ancient memories.

• Chaguskona gave Ronan one of his nineteen inheritance portions and urged him to pursue his own whale.
• Ronan summoned Hecalto with the White Sun and led the nine-headed serpent across the icefield toward Chaguskona’s throne.

• Ronan emerged from the secret realm after one year, and Alazan reassured him that Chaguskona had chosen him for his qualities and potential.
• Ronan found Hecalto bound and consumed by the Primordial Frost Whale bloodline within the Blue-Gold Water Drop.
• Ronan began merging with the Primordial Frost Whale bloodline, and its ancient memories overwhelmed his consciousness.
