Arc 6The Guardian Fire’s Grief
The Light Screen revealed Elysia and Furina’s sacrifices in Fontaine, then followed Xibalak as he united Natlan’s people and dragons, defeated the corrupted Fire Dragon King, and became the Guardian Fire. The arc left off as Marvica questioned the Fire Gods’ inherited sacrifices and the scene shifted to the time before the catastrophe in Kandria.
- The observers learned that Elysia created Fontaine’s people from springwater, was forced to serve the Heavenly Principles, and died fighting Abyssal Monsters after entrusting Furina with her Godhood and Original Sin.
- Furina endured five hundred years of deception, then sacrificed herself to break the divine throne, allowing Neuvillette to reclaim the Authority of Judgment and absolve Fontaine’s people.
- The Light Screen showed Natlan ravaged by Abyssal forces and corrupted dragons, while the Dragon Clan Sage gave Elemental Fuel to humans who forged dragon-bone armor to fight back.
- Xibalak grew into a powerful warrior, received the Heart of Fire Gnosis from Ronova, and united human tribes, War Machines, and rebel dragons into the Dragon Slaying Squad and a coalition army.
- Xibalak fought the Abyss-corrupted Fire Dragon King for seven days and nights, then killed him after learning the King had chosen death to protect Natasha and pass on his throne.
- Xibalak made a secret deal with the Death Regent to gain the Authority to End All Things and purify Natasha, then merged his life, soul, and Divine Spark with the Sacred Fire to become the Guardian Fire.
- The Light Screen showed generations of Fire Gods sacrificing themselves to sustain the Guardian Fire, until Marvica questioned whether their flame had to end in extinction and the scene shifted to before the catastrophe in Kandria.
