Abel rejected Grand Knight Commander Donald’s invitation to enter the Orc Empire after sensing malice, and the map he acquired only pointed to Beast God Plain. He continued strengthening Johnson in Lut Gholein before returning to the Orc Battlefield, where General Basil raged over the wolf clan’s losses and was warned not to jeopardize a larger plan.

• Abel used the Beast Fang map in Rogue Encampment and matched the Identification Token’s map only to Beast God Plain, leaving the exact Ancient Ruins location unknown.

Abel was attacked on the Orc Battlefield by Aimos, an Intermediate Wizard seeking the Orc War Drum and Beast Fang. After surviving Aimos’s Ice Spike and confirming with Miracle Spirit that he could retaliate, Abel prepared to fight back.

• Abel drew Rune Cards on a hillside while nearby Orc squads avoided him and the Direwolf King.

• Abel fed golden battle qi into Tandu's Jade and the Ancient Contract as he prepared to fight Aimos.

• Aimos used Teleportation and a rapid barrage of Fire Balls, but Abel repeatedly detonated them with Psychokinesis and avoided their blasts.

• Abel summoned a Clay Golem beneath Aimos, which briefly slowed him as he tried to teleport away.
• Abel used Charge to reach Aimos, then struck him with Shield Bash and stunned him for up to two seconds.

Abel killed Intermediate Wizard Aimos and searched his belongings, discovering a book that connected Beast God's Blood to a ritual at Mount Nam. A pattern in the book linked Mount Nam to the location from Abel's strange Identification Token, leaving him to consider investigating the place.

• Abel killed Intermediate Wizard Aimos with lightning qi, burned his corpse, and reflected on how close the battle had come.
• Abel collected Aimos's defensive items, fire-element staff, spatial bag, and supplies, then found a stone-covered book written in wolf-tribe script.
• Abel read that the orcs held a sacrificial ceremony at Mount Nam every ten years, where Beast God's Blood could be obtained.
• Abel noticed a pattern on the book's final page that matched the patterns on the battle fortress and strange Identification Token, and recalled that the token pointed to Beast God Plain.
• Abel suspected the book might be an orc trap, but his analysis showed that it was several hundred years old.

Abel rushed to the team after Grand Knight Commander Markham reported that K3308 was near death, and he used an Advanced Healing Potion to save him. K3308 woke up, while Markham was also revealed to have suffered a serious injury.

• Grand Knight Commander Markham contacted Abel and begged him to bring a Blue Quality Healing Potion for the gravely wounded K3308.
• Abel rode to the team and found several members injured and two Grand Knight Commanders dead.
• Abel used a Blue Quality Healing Potion to stabilize K3308, then gave him an Advanced Healing Potion that repaired his wounds.
• K3308 woke up and began talking, then asked whether Markham was all right after seeing him block an attack.

Abel healed the injured knights and took K3308 away from the team so he could recover safely. When Grand Knight Commander Eddie asked him to surrender the Orc War Drum for the Beast God's Blood operation, Abel revealed that he had killed Intermediate Wizard Aimos and warned that Grand Knight Commander Donald owed him a life.

• Abel gave Grand Knight Commander Markham a Blue Quality Healing Potion and asked why no one had notified him about the attack.

• Grand Knight Commander Eddie told Abel that Grand Knight Commander Donald wanted to negotiate for the Orc War Drum.

After defeating the orcs, Abel sheltered his injured companions while they waited out the final days of their hunting mission. The mission ended without another attack, and the group headed back to Miracle City.

• Abel gave K3308 a recliner and Water Spirit Fruit juice, then he and K3305 relaxed and read while Markham and Bodley kept watch.
• K3305 and the others joined Abel on recliners, trusting that the area was safe because the orcs were avoiding it.
• Abel gave the group Blue Howl Rabbit-flavored Satiety Potions, and K3308 learned that each potion’s effects lasted ten days.
• Markham and Bodley kept watch through the night while Abel continued to wonder why the wolf tribe had not retaliated.
• On the final day, Abel and the others received notice that their month-long hunting mission was over and set out for Miracle City.

After completing the Orc Empire hunting mission and two crafting and repair missions, Abel reached 127 battle credits and prepared to investigate the Identification Token at Mount Nam. Two Enforcement Wizards tried to take him in over a fabricated accusation, but the Miracle Spirit accepted his arbitration request and stripped them of their positions and battle credits.

• Abel's team completed the Orc Empire hunting mission, and the others realized his kills had earned them extra battle credits.

• Intermediate Wizard Cyril told Abel that the Blood Corrosion Poison experiment had made him an Intermediate Alchemist.

• Cyril threatened to have the Alchemist Guild declare Abel unwelcome unless he lent him the items, but Abel reminded him that Miracle Spirit concealed his identity and walked away.
• Cyril watched Abel leave and resolved to retaliate, though he still did not know who Abel was.

Abel arranged for the Elf Alchemist Guild to cut off Intermediate Alchemist Cyril’s supplies, then learned that people in Miracle City were trying to isolate him from missions. After leaving the city, he rode Feiyan toward the Orc Empire, relying on his fortress and companions for the coming conflict.

• Abel checked in with Batorri, ordered him to continue the dwarf trade and tightly control the new grain harvest, and instructed him to ask Lady Cali to have the Elf Alchemist Guild cut off Cyril’s alchemical materials.
• Grand Knight Commander Markham gave Abel four hundred Skeleton Gems and forty Bone Space Items, then warned that people in Miracle City were forbidding others from teaming up with or assisting him.
• Abel told Markham he planned to enter seclusion and left Miracle City through the southern gate with the Direwolf King.
• After traveling deep into the Budapest Mountains, Abel summoned Feiyan, stored the terrified Direwolf King, and flew away on Feiyan toward the Orc Empire.

Cyril discovered that the Alchemist Guild had blocked him from obtaining materials and accepting potion missions after Abel’s request reached the guilds across the Holy Continent. His teacher, Clapton, learned that an Alchemy Master was behind the ban and warned that Cyril was finished.

• Cyril went to Miracle City's mission center to turn in potions and collect materials, but the staff told him he was no longer authorized to receive them.
• Miracle Spirit informed Cyril that the Alchemist Guild had suspended his potion-making mission and revoked his authority to accept missions.
• Cyril teleported to Logan City and learned that he was also barred from purchasing Alchemist-grade materials there.
• Cyril contacted his teacher, Senior Alchemist Clapton, who asked his friend Councilor Alfonso about the blacklist.
• Councilor Alfonso told Clapton that the Elf race had ordered the ban and advised him not to get involved, prompting Clapton to realize an Alchemy Master was behind it.
• Cyril waited all day for Clapton's help, but could not reach him and grew despairing.

Abel guided War Fortress No. 03 over the dangerous Budapest Mountains, where an invisible collision with a Snow Eagle led him to trap the high-grade spirit beast inside the fortress. He sent Feiyan to fight it without killing it.

• Abel released Black Wind and watched White Cloud pull War Fortress No. 03 over the highest range of the Budapest Mountains.
• A Snow Eagle collided with the invisible fortress, became enraged, and charged at it.
• Abel ordered 03 to let the Snow Eagle inside, then had the fortress strengthen its shield and block its escape.
• The Snow Eagle attacked the shield, realized it was trapped, and prepared to charge Abel.
• Feiyan flew out to fight the Snow Eagle, and Abel ordered Feiyan not to kill it.

Abel defeated Snow Eagle with Feiyan and used his true-dragon pressure to make it accept a contract, naming it Bai Xue. He gave Bai Xue a space bag and access to its cave, and Bai Xue returned with its accumulated sapphires for him.

• Feiyan outsped Snow Eagle, subdued it with Dragon Might, and carried it to Abel.
