Chapter Summaries

Angel tested and named Blood Night's Shelter, then refined Dark Feather to conceal Toby before preparing to leave Lost Song City. When he visited Nite to give him Pale Blue Water, he learned that House New Ross had lived in Shelley Garden for three thousand years and noticed a well there.

• Angel activated Poem of Blankness in Blood Night's Shelter and found that one magic crystal could power it for about three days.
• Angel recorded the cloak's results and named it Blood Night's Shelter, then slept peacefully under its protection.
• Angel refined Dark Feather for Toby, whose presence faded when he wore it, and decided to leave Lost Song City.
• Angel visited New Ross Count's Estate and gave Nite the promised Pale Blue Water, interrupting Nite and Sanna together.
• Angel learned that the estate was Shelley Garden and that House New Ross had lived there for three thousand years, then noticed a well covered with withered grass.

Angel investigated the old well at Shelley Garden and discovered hidden magic patterns linked to Lucas. He erased Lucas’s writing, altered Nite and Sanna’s memories to keep the discovery secret, and offered to speak to the Count of New Ross on Nite’s behalf.

• Angel questioned Nite and Sanna about the abandoned well at Shelley Garden, then climbed down to inspect it.
• Angel searched the cellar beneath the well and found a line of writing in Lucas’s handwriting after clearing away grime.
• Angel recited Soul-Severing Murmur and saw magic patterns appear on the wall, then memorized them and erased Lucas’s writing.
• Angel used a Mind Illusion to alter Nite and Sanna’s memories and gave Nite Pale Blue Water as part of the fabricated recollection.
• Angel offered to speak to the Count of New Ross about Nite and Sanna, then began analyzing the magic patterns he had recorded.

Angel deciphered the magic array beneath Shelley Garden’s well and used Count New Ross’s blood to open a passage to the Feather Fan. He arrived in its captain’s cabin and, after failing to find a way back, discovered a sheet of parchment in the desk drawer.

• Angel deduced that Lucas’s descendants could activate the well’s magic array and travel to a hidden place.
• Angel drew Count New Ross’s blood and used it to activate the array, feeding it magic crystals until the passage was wide enough to enter.
• Angel crossed the passage and found himself aboard the Feather Fan, in the same captain’s cabin where he had previously seen Lucas’s Logbook.
• Angel searched for a return array but found none, then opened the captain’s desk drawer and discovered a sheet of parchment resembling Lucas’s Logbook.

Angel found the Feather Fan stranded on a lifeless island and discovered a hidden cave containing a passage back. He searched for Lucas's treasure but found only signs of past visitors until Toby spotted a stick rising from the lake above a vast submerged shadow.

• Angel read Lucas's final sailing-log entry, inspected the headless skeleton in the captain's cabin, and concluded the Feather Fan had remained stranded in the flooded hold.
• Angel explored the surrounding sea, confirmed it was devoid of currents and life, and found the wreck near a small island's rocky shore.
• Angel and Toby located a hidden cave behind a dead tree, where Angel found a magic energy array that could serve as a passage back.
• Angel explored the island's cliffs and found an abandoned stove near a large lake, while worrying that the Sea God and the Basket Witch would soon arrive.
• Toby called Angel to the lake's center, where Angel saw a stick extending deep underwater and illuminated a massive shadow beneath the surface.

Angel investigated a sunken ship in a dead lake and learned from a sailor’s remains that it had fallen from the sky into the region three hundred years earlier. He then found a coast crowded with decaying ships, leaving the island’s mysteries—and Lucas’s treasure—unresolved.

• Angel explored the wreck and found its keel broken, its cargo gone, and its cabins devoid of clues.
• Toby brought Angel two skeletons, and Angel found an iron-box necklace on one of them.
• Angel read Goblin Frando’s parchment and learned that the ship Night Hibiscus had fallen from the sky into the lake three hundred years earlier.
• Angel discovered that Frando had seen a shadow dressed like a legendary tyrannical king, and he raised his guard against a possible inhabitant of the region.
• Angel left the lake and found a coast crowded with decaying ships of many kinds, but no sign of Lucas’s treasure.

Angel searched the Ship's Grave and found evidence that most of its wrecks had vanished from the Gear Abyss, while a chart placed that region near Silver Palm Island. He discovered a dead Transcendent in the cabin of a White Shell Shipping ship, leaving the cause of the resident wizard's death unresolved.

• Angel searched wrecks along the shore and found the Osenbulu's log, which described its crew becoming trapped in the Ship's Grave and dying one by one.
• Angel compared logs and remains from multiple ships and concluded that most had come from the Gear Abyss, with a few arriving from other nearby seas.
• Angel used a sea chart to trace the ships' origins to waters near Silver Palm Island, but chose not to investigate the island's possible secret.
• Angel found a White Shell Shipping cargo ship and wondered whether its resident wizard might have been the King of Ferocity mentioned by a Night Hibiscus crewman.
• Angel entered the resident's clean cabin and found a robed skeleton with signs that it had been a Transcendent, though he could not determine how it had died.

A distant observer and Basket Witch’s people watched Leviathan grow restless as they investigated Lucas and awaited a mysterious space to open. Meanwhile, an earthquake devastated Ship’s Grave, and Angel examined the belongings of a dead ship overseer named Haska, finding signs that the supposedly safe island held an unknown danger.

• Leviathan’s high-frequency ripples incapacitated a bat-winged woman, and it devoured her while remaining coiled around Silver Palm Island.
• Madam Pei and her master discussed Leviathan’s growing restlessness and the approaching opening of the mysterious space, then ordered the investigation into Lucas to continue.
• A silver-haired man watched the women depart and told Biji to end its concealment and return.
• An earthquake shook Ship’s Grave, wrecking most of its ships, while Angel heard a familiar beast’s roar filled with self-doubt.
• Angel identified the dead ship’s overseer as Haska and read his notes, which described Ship’s Grave as safe before the records abruptly ended.
• Angel opened Haska’s one-use spatial pouch and sorted the supplies and low-level potions he found inside.

Angel searched the Isle of Silence for clues and discovered that a murderous black shadow had slaughtered the island’s survivors. A hidden journal identified the shadow as the legendary pirate King of Ferocity, Tulas, who may still be alive.

• Angel found Haska’s Withered Vigil potion, then returned to collect ordinary supplies and erase his traces in case other wizards investigated the island.
• Angel followed the coast and an inland river, using scouting puppets to search for signs of the people who had left the ships.
• Angel discovered a settlement filled with bones and journals describing a swift, deadly black shadow that had driven survivors to flee, fight, or take their own lives.
• Angel examined an artificial cave where armored professionals had died without visible wounds, then found a hidden skeleton and its notebook.
• Angel read that the black shadow wore a horned helmet and carried a broken-legged long hook, and the writer identified him as Tulas, the King of Ferocity.
• Angel connected Tulas to records from fifteen hundred and three hundred years earlier, concluding that the pirate had lived for an extraordinarily long time and might have killed Haska.

Angel searched the Silver Elk’s records for the legendary pirate Tulas and discovered that Tulas had vanished more than two thousand years ago. Undead Tulas attacked Angel, who identified what he was and fought him on the shore, where Tulas revealed a mysterious ability to disappear and reappear.

• Angel searched books about pirates and found Tulas’s history in The Shining Silver Age, learning that Tulas had conquered the Devil Sea before vanishing in the Shining Silver Era.
• Undead Tulas appeared in the Silver Elk and lunged at Angel, who dodged his strike and recognized him as an undead.
• Angel and Toby fled the cramped ship for the shore, where Tulas watched Angel before launching another attack.
• Angel fired the Prelude of Reincarnation at Tulas, but Tulas vanished from the attack’s range and reappeared behind him.
• Toby moved Angel out of danger, and Angel wondered whether Tulas could use spatial displacement.

Angel trapped Tulas with a White Light Bullet, but Tulas quickly became half-undead and escaped into the island’s darkness. Angel and Toby pursued him to the central mountain ridge, where Tulas vanished, leading Angel to search for a hidden space that might also contain Lucas’s treasure.

• Angel used a White Light Bullet to immobilize Tulas and considered keeping him alive as an experimental subject.
• Tulas transformed into a half-undead and escaped by spatial shifting before Angel could fire again.
• Angel and Toby chased Tulas across the island as his revived intelligence let him change directions and evade them.
• Tulas disappeared near the central mountain ridge, and Angel suspected he had shifted into a hollow space inside it or underground.
• Angel sent Toby to patrol overhead while he searched the ridge with scouting puppets for hidden passages.

Angel discovered Tulas’s pirate ship, the Savage Beast, and learned that Tulas’s obsession was to escape the island. After Tulas fled again, the story shifted to Daqi and his master at sea, where a huge ray carrying a palace surfaced.

• Angel followed a scouting puppet’s report to the Savage Beast and found a knight’s sword embedded in its helm, matching an entry in Lucas’s Logbook.
• Tulas emerged on the ship and told Angel to leave because he wanted to escape the island, then attacked when his chaotic energy overwhelmed him.
• Tulas fled into the darkness after seeing the Prelude of Reincarnation, and Angel wondered whether they would resume their chase.
• Far from Silver Palm Island, Daqi steered a fast canoe while chained to a post beside his master.
• Daqi revealed that a huge blue ray carried an exquisite palace, and his master recognized it as Biji and said Siliwu had arrived.
• A massive ray rose from the sea, and the man asked Meriessa why she had come.

Meriessa uncovered the secret surrounding Silver Palm Island and sailed toward it as Siliwu rushed to warn the Sea God that the gate was about to open. Leviathan rebelled against its role as gatekeeper, unleashing a catastrophic energy storm that left Meriessa and Basket Witch standing while Meriessa steered clear of Shaluo Witch.

• Meriessa deduced that Deep Sea Song was hiding Silver Palm Island and continued sailing toward it despite Siliwu's warning.
• Siliwu learned that rumors about the island were spreading through the Southern Region's Wizarding World, then sent a message warning the Sea God that the gate was about to open.
• Siliwu and Meriessa raced toward Silver Palm Island, where Siliwu saw Basket Witch and Madam Pei waiting nearby.
• Leviathan realized it was the king of the deep sea rather than a gatekeeper and furiously attacked the island and the gate, razing the island and triggering an immense energy storm.
• Meriessa protected Daqi from the storm and ordered him north to avoid Shaluo Witch, who watched Leviathan from atop the basket monster.

As Leviathan rampaged around Silver Palm Island, Sea God Florence arrived and exerted his control over the ocean while wizards from many organizations gathered. The Shaluo Witch revealed that a strategic-grade mysterious object lay beyond the hidden door, and an unseen voice persuaded Leviathan to pry it open.

• Madam Pei reported that wizards were arriving through the Planar Corridor as Leviathan's rampage tore apart the sea.
• Sea God Florence's pressure subdued the ocean and slowed Leviathan, while the Shaluo Witch said he might be trying to open the hidden door.
• Nearly a hundred wizards arrived, and the Shaluo Witch ordered Madam Pei to spread word that Silver Palm Island held a strategic-grade mysterious object.
• The rumor spread through the gathered wizards, and Siliwu resolved to obtain the object for Deep Sea Song.
• An unseen voice preyed on Leviathan's anger and persuaded it to pry open the door instead of merely attacking it.

Angel pursued Tulas across the island, but earthquakes and Leviathan’s roars disrupted their fight and revealed that the hidden dark space was connected to the creature beyond a door in the sky. Angel captured Tulas with the White Light Bullets, then saw Leviathan’s furious vertical pupil appear in the opening as the island faced destruction.

• Angel pursued Tulas into the mountains, where an earthquake disrupted spatial energy and prevented Tulas from escaping by translocation.
• Angel fought Tulas and fired all six White Light Bullets into him, then confined him in a new space inside the Church of the Dead.
• Leviathan’s roars and pressure shook the island, leading Angel to suspect the dark space was Silver Palm Island’s hidden secret.
• As the earthquake intensified and threatened the teleportation array, Angel tried to flee across the island.
• A door opened in the sky, and Leviathan’s scarlet vertical pupil appeared in its opening.

Angel hid from Leviathan in an underground tunnel and discovered a chamber filled with ordinary treasures. When Leviathan's gaze shifted away, Angel hurried to escape, while Toby secretly took the skull that had been flashing with golden light.

• Angel concealed himself in a collapse pit and watched Leviathan through a scouting puppet.
• Angel heard signs of oceanic laws beyond the door and suspected people from Deep Sea Song and Summer Dew Ridge might arrive.
• Toby alerted Angel to a flash of golden light, and Angel searched the tunnel for its source.
• Angel found a hidden hoard of gold and valuables but dismissed it as ordinary treasure.
• When Leviathan looked away from the door, Angel rushed to escape, and Toby took the glowing skull before following him.

Angel escaped the mysterious space with Toby while Leviathan’s attention was distracted, reaching the concealed cave and activating the teleportation array to Shelley Garden. Leviathan realized too late that its target had vanished through the passage.

• A transformation wizard tried to slip through the crack in the door as a mosquito, alerting Leviathan to the hidden extraordinary lives around it and slowing its efforts to open the door.
• Florence appeared atop Biji and assured Siliwu that the door would open eventually, while mistakenly concluding that nothing living remained inside the mysterious space.
• Angel saw that the pupil behind the door had vanished and fled the sinkhole with Toby aboard Gondola, masking their escape in black mist.
• Leviathan spotted the black mist and struck it with concentrated pressure, but Angel staged a fall that carried him across the cliff to the concealed cave.
• Angel entered soul form, placed a magic crystal in the teleportation array, and escaped with Toby through the passage to Shelley Garden.
• Leviathan realized Angel had escaped through spatial energy, roared, and rammed the door, but the passage had already closed.

Florence and the other wizards entered the mysterious space after a human escaped through an unknown passage, leaving them to search for the strategic-grade item and the fugitive. Florence found a teleportation array in a hidden cave, but it crumbled when he tried to activate it, confirming the escaped wizard had destroyed the linked array.

• Leviathan revealed that a human had escaped from the space beyond the door, and Shalu ordered Madam Pei to prepare to contact Ivan if the mysterious item was missing.
• Meriessa feared the human had taken the item and that the wizards would trace the misleading rumor back to him.
• Leviathan tore open the door and entered the space, followed by Florence and the other wizards as seawater flooded inside.
• Florence sensed no trace of the mysterious item or the human, then followed Leviathan to a cliff and found a hidden cave with a teleportation array.
• Florence placed a magic crystal on the array, but it crumbled into ash when it activated, leading him to conclude that the wizard on the other side had destroyed its linked array.

Florence and Siliwu investigated the mysterious object stolen from the island and considered whether Angel was involved, while Shalu learned that prophecy magic could not locate it. Angel recovered in Shelley Garden after escaping the island, but the damaged teleportation array showed that someone was searching for him.

• Florence concluded that the thief was a skilled magic-pattern user with a broad intelligence network, and he told Siliwu to ask Jiebo to watch Angel despite judging him unlikely to be responsible.
• Siliwu received an alarming message from Tuvalu, while Shalu learned that Ivan could not use prophecy to locate the mysterious object and concluded that its thief had acted deliberately.
• After escaping the island, Angel coughed up blood, reversed the magic energy array beneath the well, and collapsed before the array on the island began to be destroyed.
• Angel woke with Toby beside him and discovered that Toby had used potions to treat his injuries before Angel placed it in his bracelet to recover.
• Angel saw that the array's patterns had vanished, realized someone had tried to activate it, and decided to keep a low profile.

Angel returned to New Ross Count's Estate and accepted Jiebo's invitation to Ocean Mansion, where Jiebo questioned him about his recent whereabouts. The chapter left Angel wary that Jiebo might know more about his secret absence than he let on.

• Angel read about the legendary pirate Tulas, then saw Tulas's baby-faced appearance while removing the chaotic black mist from his unconscious soul.
• Nite drove Angel by reindeer sleigh to Ocean Mansion after White appeared and delivered Jiebo's invitation.
• At Ocean Mansion, Si Man tried to draw Angel into conversation, but Jiebo dismissed her and invited Angel inside.
• Jiebo warned Angel not to trust Si Man, the Shadow Goose Woman of Summer Dew Ridge.
• Jiebo asked where Angel had been secluded after White took a week to find him, and Angel deflected the question while growing suspicious.

Jiebo gave Angel rare Deep Sea Song alchemy materials to fulfill his mentor’s order to draw closer, and Angel accepted them. After Jiebo recounted troubling events across the Southern Region, Angel worried that the parasites spreading through the Fairy Tale World might be connected to Pokladi.

• Jiebo offered Angel a pouch of valuables, and Angel accepted it after learning it contained rare Deep Sea Song Shell Gold and other alchemy materials.
• Angel asked whether Jiebo was seeking revenge on Xiliu, and Jiebo said he only wanted to know how she was doing.
• Jiebo began explaining Angel’s growing reputation, which had risen after Jeral bought his music box at the Ancient Auction.
• Jiebo told Angel that darkness and parasites had overrun nearly one-sixth of the Eternal Night Kingdom’s cities, forcing refugees and wizard organizations to flee.
• Jiebo reported that Demonic Beasts and parasites had appeared throughout the Fairy Tale World, and Angel suspected the change might be connected to Pokladi.
