Chapter Summaries

Koyanskaya revealed herself as the juvenile Beast IV and engulfed the world in a Black Storm, unleashing attacks against Riezel and his allies. Mashu defended them with Lord Camelot while Riezel fortified her with spells, then he launched a counterattack against the Beast.

• Riezel used all twelve forms of Sun Breathing and combined the Dragon's Secret Treasure, Fierce Demon Spear, and Thunder Breathing to attack and evade the Beast of Play.

• Oberon urged the group to leave the battlefield, and they carried Riezel away to find somewhere for him to recover.

• Da Vinci entered the carriage and explained that Riezel had quickly recovered after exhausting his magical power and mental strength with the Holy Lance.

Riezel learned that both groups were traveling to Norwich, where they could avoid the Queen’s forces and seek local help. Da Vinci confirmed Chaldea’s shared goal of stopping Morgan and considered Riezel’s group allies, though she remained curious about Riezel and his Holy Lance.

• Da Vinci explained that Oberon had arranged carriages and chosen Norwich because Gloucester, Oxford, and Salisbury were unsuitable destinations for the group.

• Da Vinci said Chaldea trusted Riezel’s group after their fight against the Queen’s faction and agreed that both parties aimed to stop Morgan.
• Da Vinci recounted the prophecy that Artoria would overthrow Morgan and ring the six Pilgrimage Bells, and Riezel asked whether Chaldea’s members had recovered their memories.
• Da Vinci confirmed that she had never lost her memories and that Mashu and Tristan had recovered theirs, then wondered about Riezel’s origins and the Holy Lance he possessed.

After recovering overnight, Riezel reunited with the others and Chaldea agreed to cooperate with him and Artoria against Morgan. The group set course for Norwich to contact its lord and try to ring the Pilgrimage Bell.

Riezel’s group crossed the dangerous region near the Great Cave and reached a day’s travel from Norwich, using his magic to avoid threats and creating a fortified tower for the group to rest in. That night, Artoria asked Riezel whether she should continue to Norwich because she was concerned about the Mirror Clan’s prophecy.

• Riezel used an Eight-Legged Horse and magic to speed the group’s journey and avoid enemies, bringing them near Norwich in one day.
• Riezel created a towering fortress where the group chose rooms and settled in for the night.

• Artoria admitted she was uneasy around Mashu and Tristan because of the memories she had gained from her Pan-Human History self.
• Artoria asked Riezel whether she should really go to Norwich, explaining that the Mirror Clan’s prophecy worried her.

As Riezel and Artoria headed for Norwich, they discussed the prophecy linking her arrival to the city’s Calamity and concluded Morgan might be using Norwich as a sacrifice so she could destroy the threat at once. Artoria questioned whether Morgan deserved recognition as a king, while Riezel left her to consider whether she could oppose Morgan and claim the throne; he also hoped the trip would clarify his relationship with Morgan.

• Riezel explained that the prophecy’s references to an Iron Town and a Calamity pointed to Norwich, where Artoria feared her arrival would trigger a disaster.
• Artoria worried that she might fail to repel the powerful Calamity and questioned why Morgan had neither sent help nor ordered an evacuation.
• Riezel suggested Morgan planned to let the Calamity erupt in Norwich, then use her Great Magic to destroy it, accepting the city’s losses as the cost.
• Artoria objected that a king who sacrificed her people would never be recognized, and Riezel asked whether she was prepared to defeat Morgan and take the throne.
• Artoria left without answering, while Riezel hoped the events in Norwich would reveal the truth of his relationship with Morgan.

Riezel and his companions reached Norwich beneath a threatening vortex as they learned that the second Great Calamity was approaching. Riezel suspected the vortex was not the source of the Calamity and chose to visit the Earth Clan's Clan Chief before investigating it further.

• Riezel and his companions arrived in Norwich and found the city darkened by a rotating vortex of storm clouds.
• Oberon explained that Minor Calamities occurred every hundred years and Great Calamities every thousand years, making a second Great Calamity imminent after Morgan's two thousand years on the throne.
• Artoria said Woodworth had defeated the King of Morse and ended the previous Great Calamity, becoming Britain's celebrated hero.
• Mashu wondered whether the King of Morse was forming inside the vortex, but Riezel said he sensed no cursed power there and instead felt immense magical power.
• Riezel decided to visit the Earth Clan's Clan Chief first so Artoria could ring Norwich's Pilgrimage Bell.

Riezel and his companions entered Norwich, where the fairies welcomed the supposed Child of Prophecy, and were summoned to meet the city’s ruler, Spriggan. Spriggan greeted Riezel in Treasury City as the Queen’s husband and Britain’s prince.

• Oberon explained that Morgan had abandoned Norwich, making its inhabitants eager to welcome Riezel instead.
• A guard sent by Spriggan invited Riezel to Treasury City, and Da Vinci, Mashu, Artoria, and Oberon accompanied him while Tristan stayed with the sleeping Master.
• At Treasury City, Spriggan welcomed Riezel and addressed him as the prince.

Riezel and his companions met Spriggan in Norwich to obtain the Pilgrimage Bell, but Spriggan demanded that Riezel protect Treasury City and stay out of the approaching calamity. Riezel left without agreeing, and the skies over Norwich darkened.

• Riezel and his companions met Spriggan, the Earth Clan's Clan Chief, who was known for pursuing profit and keeping his loyalties ambiguous.
• Spriggan said he would hand over the Pilgrimage Bell only if Riezel agreed to protect him and Treasury City.
• Artoria and Oberon questioned why Spriggan would not evacuate Norwich or ask them to drive back the calamity.
• Spriggan revealed his second demand: Riezel must not interfere with the calamity, and Spriggan would give him the bell after it passed.
• Riezel ended the discussion and walked away with Artoria and the others, while the skies above Norwich grew darker.

Riezel rejected Spriggan’s offer and took Artoria to Treasury City’s Bell Tower Hall to ring the Pilgrimage Bell without permission. The bell’s call spread across Britain, and Morgan awakened in Camelot as her magical power surged.

• Artoria, Mashu, Da Vinci, Oberon, and the others left Spriggan’s meeting, suspecting his motives despite his truthful words.
• Riezel teleported himself and Artoria to Treasury City’s Bell Tower Hall, intending to ring the Pilgrimage Bell without Spriggan’s approval.

• Spriggan planned to keep Riezel’s group trapped in the Treasury City, but a guard reported that Mors were approaching from the harbor and the Calamity had erupted.
• Woodworth arrived outside Norwich with a Fang Clan legion after learning Riezel was in the city, and led his forces inside to pursue him.

Artoria rang the Pilgrimage Bell and grew powerful enough to repel Spriggan’s lord guard, while Riezel defeated the Fang Clan fairies who attacked them. As they prepared to escape Treasury City, a horde of Mors invaded Norwich, and Riezel teleported with Artoria to find Mashu and the others.

• Artoria’s power surged after she rang the Pilgrimage Bell, bringing her strength close to Lv.7.
• Spriggan’s lord guard and Fang Clan fairies entered the Bell Tower Hall to seize the Child of Prophecy, but Artoria badly wounded the captain and Riezel cut down the attackers.

• Artoria recognized the invasion as the eruption of the Calamity, which Riezel realized had been triggered early by her arrival.
• Riezel teleported with Artoria to find Mashu and the others as the Mors continued overrunning Norwich.

Mashu and Da Vinci held back the Mors attacking Treasury City until Riezel and Artoria returned. As a Large Morse emerged and attacked, Oberon revealed that Mors grew stronger by devouring fairies, and Riezel began fighting the creature.

• Riezel used Brilliant Radiance and Sunlight Burst to purify the Large Morse and wipe out the smaller Mors nearby.
• Tristan urged the group to retreat through the cleared street before the Mors surrounded them again.
• Artoria and Mashu hesitated to leave the fairies and Treasury City, but Da Vinci persuaded them to retreat and trust the city’s defenses.
• Oberon drove the carriage forward, and Riezel offered to clear the way.
