After Monra left North Maple Town to see the world, Arthur began using his Moon Elf bloodline to form an Origin Seed and advance as a knight. More than half a month later, a silver Origin Seed appeared, and Arthur awoke from his transformation.

• Arthur gave Monra permission to leave North Maple Town, and Monra said farewell to Arthur and Ximi before departing with a longsword.
• Arthur reflected on the coming demon tide in the Maysen Region and decided it was time to pursue his plan to become an Origin Knight.

• A silver moon manifested above Arthur as his fighting spirit fused with the Moon Elf power and transformed into a stronger force.
• After more than half a month, a silver Origin Seed appeared, and Arthur opened his eyes and rose from the stone platform.

After advancing to Origin Knight, Arthur learned from the Emerald Mark that its protection against the Calamity Curse would last only three hundred years. Half a year later, Monra and Knight Dekali brought a guarded party to North Maple Town seeking physician Ardis to treat the Princess.

• Arthur's Moon Elf bloodline matured, and the Emerald Mark revealed that its blessing would last three hundred years before the Calamity Curse erupted.
• Arthur calculated that he had a little over two hundred and ninety years left, then left the basement and asked Ximi to make lunch.
• Another half year passed as Arthur continued his peaceful life, and Monra traveled with Knight Dekali and the Princess's party through the winter snow toward North Maple Town.
• Dekali questioned Monra about whether Arthur could cure the Princess, and Monra confidently praised his teacher's skill.
• After reaching town, Dekali gathered information about physician Ardis and learned that the townspeople considered him an excellent but expensive healer.
• Dekali led her party toward Arthur's home, hoping he could treat the Princess.

Monra returned to the clinic with Princess Xisili, seeking Arthur’s help for her contamination from a Seed of Pollution. After Arthur treated her, Xisili recognized him as the legendary Gale Knight and revealed that she was the third princess of the Dekala Empire.

• Ximi reunited with Monra, who said he had returned because he missed everyone and asked to see Arthur.
• Arthur examined Princess Xisili and identified her illness as contamination from a Seed of Pollution.
• Arthur gave Xisili silver medicine and said she should recover almost completely after taking it weekly for a little over a month.

• Xisili introduced herself as Xisili Dekala, the third princess of the Dekala Empire.

• Arthur avoided Xisili's question about why he had stayed hidden for three years and walked away, revealing his frail, declining condition.
• Xisili told Monra that Pollution was spreading like a plague and asked him to help persuade Arthur to treat the sick; Monra agreed.
• Arthur watched the exchange with his spiritual power and judged Xisili a likely Child of Destiny, while Monra was a supporting character of destiny.
• Arthur reflected that the World Power backlash had passed and that he had already advanced to Level 3 Wizard and Origin Knight, so he no longer needed to remain in town.
• Arthur checked his stats, noted that his Moon Elf bloodline had entered the growth stage, and resolved to seek more World Energy before evolving his Shuttle Ability.

Xisili explained that she wanted Arthur to help her influence Elina and Cladis so the nations could unite against the Turing Cult. That night, the Turing Guardian Knight Nesser infiltrated the courtyard and asked to see Arthur.

• Xisili felt Arthur's medicine purging the pollution from her body, while Dekali hoped she might become a Radiant Knight within three years.
• Xisili told Dekali she had invited Arthur to use his ties to Elina and Cladis to help forge an alliance against the Turing Cult.

• Nesser introduced himself as the Shadow Knight and asked where Arthur was, while Xisili suspected someone had betrayed their secret.

Nesser challenged Arthur to fight the Crimson Spirit Knight Herama in three months, threatening King Malan and Princess Elina if Arthur refused. Arthur accepted and prepared to leave in three days, while the challenge stirred a sudden surge in his World Energy.

Ximi joined Arthur and Monra on their journey to Catutan City as the Crimson Spirit Knight Herama devastated Malan and challenged the empire’s remaining defenses.

• Ximi refused to stay behind and climbed into the carriage with Arthur and Monra as they set out for Catutan City.
• Herama destroyed the forces at White Valley and devastated Winterhold, then declared that he had come for Malan.

• Arthur stepped out of his silver Battle Qi Armor with his sword intact and his eyes fixed on Herama.

Herama revealed that the Turlings had used the Seed of Pollution and Royal Descendants’ bloodlines to create Origin Seeds, then attacked Arthur with his newly awakened Origin power. Arthur unleashed the full force of his Ancient Moon Elf bloodline and defeated Herama, leaving Elina and the others stunned.

• Herama explained that the Turlings had hunted Royal Descendants to create Origin Seeds, and that the completed seed was within His Majesty while his own was only half-finished.

• Lilith recognized Herama’s Origin power and feared that Arthur could not withstand it.
• Arthur awakened the power of his Moon Elf bloodline and released Moon Radiance, overwhelming Herama’s attack.
• Herama fell bloodied to the earth, while Elina and the others stared at Arthur in shock.

• Adil absorbed the Emerald Stone fragment in his manor, gaining tens of thousands of World Energy as the fragment lost its power.
• Adil spent his World Energy to evolve his Shuttle Ability, endured intense soul pain, and formed a purple crystal deep within his soul.
