Chapter Summaries

As the Great Disaster’s death and missing lists grew, Isolte broke down over her inability to find Allen, while Rudy forced Paul to abandon his despair and resume the search. The chapter ended with Allen, trapped deep inside a rain-soaked labyrinth for more than three months, facing a swarm of Wraiths while close to death.

• Isolte returned home, and Sylphy comforted her as she grieved over the lack of news about Allen.

• Allen remained trapped in the deepest part of an island labyrinth, where his system showed that he was about to die as Wraiths gathered around him.

Melna and the other stranded adventurers endured a relentless storm and endless Phantom Demon Beast attacks on an island in the Archipelago. After the latest wave was repelled, Lef tried to keep Melna from breaking down, and she fell beside the mutilated corpse of another Millish Believer who had been killed for refusing the adventurers.

• The chapter described how the Golden Knight’s strike formed the Archipelago and left it rich in labyrinths and magic stones, then showed a storm-battered island where adventurers fought Phantom Demons.

• Melna tripped over a corpse and saw that the dead Millish Believer, another Barrier Spell user, had been chopped apart after refusing to obey the adventurers.

Melna tried to escape being forced to maintain the survivors’ Barrier Magic, but the group coerced her into continuing while Lef and Klaim argued over Lef’s plans for revenge. Their argument was interrupted when a mysterious force hurled a mass of Phantom Demon Beasts from the dungeon’s depths, and the creatures turned toward them.

• Lef stopped Melna from running and threatened her with a dagger, then urged her to maintain the Barrier Magic Circle.
• Melna held the dagger to her throat and begged to be released, but the Northern Saint and the other adventurers dismissed her warning about ghost magic stones and forced her to maintain the circle.
• The Northern Saint sent Lef and Klaim to gather mushrooms, and Klaim challenged Lef for risking the group to help Melna.
• Lef told Klaim he planned to return to Main Island, kill every monster in the Central Dungeon, destroy its magic source, and die in the process to avenge Seris.
• A powerful impact hurled a Phantom Demon Beast from the forest into a reef, where it split into dozens of beasts.
• The Phantom Demon Beasts turned toward Lef and Klaim, and Lef shouted for them to run.

Allen was found in a mutated dungeon after Lef and Klaim fled a phantom tide, and he explained that he had been throwing demon beasts out of the Mana Vortex to attract rescuers. The chapter left Allen exhausted and hungry as Lef ran back toward him, while the mountaintop remained under attack from 1,243 phantoms.

• Lef and Klaim fled through the storm and discovered a crater containing a Mana Vortex, where Allen was stacking and throwing Phantom Demon Beasts.
• The phantoms abandoned Lef and Klaim, and Allen approached them, asked where he was, and begged them for food.

Allen escaped the lower dungeon with Klaim and Lef, then learned they were stranded in the Island Chain Labyrinth Cluster. He agreed to help Lef rally the adventurers and repair a ship so they could leave, while privately searching for Zenith.

• Allen recognized that the Great Transfer had triggered a cycle secret art that sent him back in time, and he worried about locating his family and companions.
• Klaim and Lef found the Transfer Magic Circle out of the dungeon, and Allen defeated a Phantom Demon Beast to obtain the mana stone they needed.
• Lef carried Allen through the storm toward shore, where Allen saw Main Island and questioned whether the entire Island Chain Labyrinth Cluster had fused together.
• Allen used his location search ability to search for Zenith, but the system gave no location result.
• Lef explained that the adventurers on the mountain needed help against the Phantom Demon Beasts and that repairing their ships was the way off the islands.
• Allen agreed to go to the mountaintop and help organize the adventurers and prepare a ship for departure.

Allen arrived at the besieged mountaintop and rescued Melna, then used an Emperor-rank Divine Strike Spell to wipe out the demon beast horde and bring sunlight back to the island. The survivors were saved, while Klaim struggled to believe what he had witnessed.

• Angory died after casting Advanced Divine Strike Spell—Purge, but the attack destroyed two Phantom Demon Beasts and briefly drove the horde back.
• Lef and Klaim carried Allen into the camp, where Allen killed two adventurers threatening Melna and fed her while the Northern Saint watched.
• Allen asked Melna to cast a Barrier Spell in exchange for help escaping her fate, then walked toward the demon beast horde as the beasts held back.
• Allen recited the Divine Descent incantation and unleashed an Emperor-rank Divine Strike Spell that vaporized 1,243 phantoms and stopped the rain.
• Melna survived after the spell dispersed the impurities from Corpse Soul Transformation, and the adventurers wept as sunlight returned to the island.
• Klaim repeated the incantation, then insisted he had only dreamed the miracle and fell asleep in a puddle.

Allen discovered that the Divine Strike Spell could clear the Ghost-type storm clouds and agreed with Os to help the stranded adventurers return to the mainland. After unlocking a reusable Reincarnation Magic imprint, Allen destroyed the mana vortex with a silently cast Divine Strike Spell, then revealed that he had almost no stamina left.

• Allen concluded that the storm came from the Chimeric Dungeon and learned from Os that the sea had no labyrinth restrictions preventing a return to the mainland.
• Os rallied the adventurers and asked Allen to help them find food and repair their boat, while Melna came to stand behind Allen.
• Physical contact with Allen unlocked Os's Magic Mark System permissions and let him retrieve Allen's recently cast Divine Strike Spell as a miniature magic circle.
• Allen pointed out the mana vortex on the hillside and used a silently cast Divine Strike Spell to destroy it, stunning the adventurers.
• Allen checked his remaining strength and saw that he had 57% mana, 94% Battle Aura, and only 1.1% stamina.

Allen exposed Os's suspicions about his identity and ordered the survivors to repair their ship and return to the mainland instead of pursuing Idazred's secret sword. While learning about Millish's Baptism and Melna's Barrier Spell, Allen broke her barrier and saw his system panel take shape again.

• Allen confronted Os about whether he wanted him to be a controllable magician, a Millish believer, or an unpredictable Magic Swordsman, and Os revealed the legend of Idazred, the undead Sword God in the Main Island labyrinth.
• Lef urged Allen to pursue Idazred for his secret sword and offered to seek revenge for his dead companions, but Allen refused and told everyone to catch fish, eat, and repair the ship for their return to the mainland.
• Klaim recognized Allen as the Millish pope's grandson and a possible Divine Child, while Allen took Klaim's notebook and told him to look after Lef.
• Melna explained that Divine Children and Saintesses could undergo Baptism to become God Children, and Allen said he might visit Millish to investigate its temples.
• Melna cast Basic Barrier Spell—Mana Barrier, but Allen shattered it, grabbed her wrist, and saw his system panel reveal its true form.

Allen examined the Reincarnated Flesh Cultivation Manual and read Lara Greyrat’s explanation of his summoning, the Cycle Secret Art, and his role in changing the future. The panel then warned him that Lara’s account was partly false and ordered him to follow Lara Boreas Greyrat.

• Allen opened the Manual’s full panel and confirmed that his abilities came from the future Demon Dragon King—Laplace, while his incarnation progress stood at 21%.
• Allen read Lara Greyrat’s explanation that she had summoned him as a Hero, used the Cycle Secret Art to test him, and intended to enlist his help for the Six-Sided World’s future.
• Allen reasoned that the Cycle Secret Art had confined him to a trial cycle until he met Lara’s conditions, after which his abilities would be released.
• Allen noticed that the Cycle Secret Art had reactivated despite Lara’s claim that she had discarded it, while a complete Healing Magic System appeared beside his Dragon Saint Battle Qi crystal.
• A crimson message declared that Lara Greyrat’s explanation was partly true and partly false, then ordered Allen to follow Lara Boreas Greyrat.

Allen read Lara Boreas Greyrat’s explanation of her conflict with HITOGAMI and the dangers surrounding the Cycle Secret Art, then chose to trust her and activate Reincarnation Incarnation. The incarnation ended without giving him a new ability, and Melna unexpectedly told him, “Do it!”

• Lara Boreas Greyrat explained that Lara Greyrat had fused with HITOGAMI and that they had fought over the Divine Jade and control of their consciousness.
• Lara Boreas Greyrat said Allen’s Destiny Power had blocked HITOGAMI and that the Cycle Secret Art reuse system now allowed him to refuse reincarnation through a secondary confirmation.
• Allen completed the four Magic Circles and chose to trust Lara Boreas Greyrat, activating Reincarnation Incarnation.
• Allen briefly entered a realm of white mist, but the incarnation ended without producing a new ability on the Cultivation Manual panel.
• Melna moved beside Allen, and after he asked what she was doing, she blushed and told him, “Do it!”

Allen dreamed of falling through the sky and waking beside someone on a ship, then set sail with the surviving adventurers after a week stranded on an island. When he noticed that the ship’s broken railing matched his dream but the person holding his hand was missing, the story shifted to someone waking on the distant Main Island.

• Allen woke during the Great Transfer, used repeated Air Blast Spells to slow his fall, and crashed onto an island before abruptly finding himself aboard a ship in his dream.
• Allen awoke in the cabin after kicking apart its roof, and Melna reassured him while he prepared to leave the island with the adventurers.
• Allen examined his Reincarnated Flesh Cultivation Manual and concluded that his recurring dream might be connected to his incarnation ability, though it revealed no useful information.
• Allen and the surviving adventurers boarded their patched ship and set sail for the mainland, carrying magic stones and keepsakes from their dead companions.
• Allen recognized that the missing railing on the ship matched his dream, but the person who should have been holding his hand was absent.
• On the distant Main Island, someone opened weary deep-blue eyes and was ordered to go find food.

Lokkishi and a Sword Saint adventurer became trapped in the Chimeric Dungeon after their expedition against Idazred failed, and Idazred killed the adventurer with a single strike. Meanwhile, Allen and Lef sailed through a labyrinth at sea, with Allen asking how long it would take to reach shore.

• Lokkishi endured the heat in a cave, using Frost Nova to stay awake while an adventurer ordered her to find food and blamed her for the failed expedition.
• The adventurer admitted that his group had rushed their plan to attack Idazred, then approached the cave entrance, where a Volcanic Giant Worm attacked and he severed its head with the Sword of Light.
• Idazred struck from across the dungeon and killed the adventurer, while Lokkishi survived just beyond the edge of its devastating attack.
• Allen blasted a hole through the storm clouds with lightning, and the adventurers aboard the ship used the sunlight to adjust their course.
• Lef told Allen that the ship would need about two more days and one night to escape the labyrinth cluster, followed by roughly a day to reach shore.

Allen investigated Lef’s poisoned mushroom bread while Lef concealed his revenge plans, and Ous struggled between protecting the group and avenging his dead companions. Allen then connected his recurring dreams to Lara’s Prophecy Art and realized they had revealed future events that shaped his relationships and plans.

• Lef offered Allen mushroom bread and admitted he had gathered adventurers by appealing to their greed and ambitions, despite wanting revenge for his former companions.
• Allen recognized that different mushrooms were poisoning the crew, rejected a strange fish, and watched Lef leave after their tense exchange.
• Ous watched Allen and Lef from the cabin, suspected that Allen had noticed the poisoned mushrooms, and struggled between killing Lef and returning his companions’ name tags to their families.
• Allen reconsidered the ability he had gained through reincarnation and connected his recurring dream of the ship’s broken railing to information beyond his sight.
• Allen recalled earlier dreams involving Sylphy and linked them to events that helped him resist HITOGAMI and build bonds with Sylphy and Lokkishi.
• After realizing the mushrooms had clouded his thoughts, Allen concluded that the dream ability was Lara’s Prophecy Art and could foresee the future.

Allen used a poisonous mushroom and a stronger Barrier Spell to enter a deeper precognitive dream, confirming that a scene aboard the ship would occur within days. After waking from his second attempt, he found the cabin wrecked by a storm and Lef’s grotesquely burned, partly transparent figure standing before him.

• Allen reasoned that his earlier dreams had shown future events and decided to deepen his incarnation by controlling the conditions of his next dream.
• After eating a whole parasol mushroom, Allen dreamed of standing on the ship at sunrise while someone held his hand, but he could not move or see who it was.
• Allen asked Melna to cast an intermediate Barrier Spell, then ate more of the mushroom and fell asleep again.
• Melna prayed over the sleeping Allen, calling him God’s Child and asking God to protect him as he arrived at the Islands.
• Allen awoke during a violent storm in a shattered, flooded cabin and saw Lef’s mangled, partly transparent figure tell him, “I’m home.”

Allen experienced a terrifying precognitive dream in which Lef underwent Corpse Soul Transformation and the ship encountered a huge red Mana Vortex near the Main Island. Os revealed that Blazing Heart had been wiped out there, and Allen woke amid a real storm at sea.

• Allen realized his dream let him move freely through a future vision, then found Lef transformed into a burning phantom and tried to save him with Divine Strike Spell.
• More than twenty adventurers cheered for Allen and dragged him out of the ruined cabin, where he saw Melna lying motionless in the flooded corridor.
• A storm battered the ship, and Allen saw a massive red Mana Vortex rising between the sea and sky.
• Os showed Allen his crushed identification tag and said "Revenge," revealing that Blazing Heart had been wiped out on the Main Island three months earlier.
• Allen tried to wake himself before the dream’s danger spread, then opened his eyes to a storm still raging around the ship.

Allen awoke after Lef drugged him and discovered that the adventurers had deliberately brought their ship to the Chimeric Dungeon’s Main Island. After exposing their scheme and saving them from a tornado and wrecked ship, Allen forced the group to board the island and fight through the dungeon or die.

• Allen woke after sleeping for seventeen hours, cut Lef’s throat, and learned that Lef had drugged him and navigated the ship toward the Main Island.
• Allen found Melna poisoned and drowning, revived her, and dragged her with Lef out onto the deck.
• Allen saw the Main Island and realized Os and the adventurers had concealed their plans while using Lef to steer the ship there.
• Allen confronted the group, then split the tornado with a sword strike and stopped the wrecked ship from crashing into theirs.
• Allen exposed the adventurers’ hopes of exploiting his power, then told them they would board the island and survive the dungeon or die.

Allen learned that the Archipelago labyrinth was expanding and that its storm eye had grown, while Os explained how the Main Island labyrinth rose from B-rank to S-rank after a wave of demon beasts and failed expeditions. As the boats neared the island, Allen spotted mysterious lights surrounding them beneath the rain-darkened sky.

• Os told Allen that the labyrinth and the storm eye had expanded, and the adventurers admitted their plan to secretly bring him to the Main Island had been exposed.
• Os recounted the Archipelago’s history, the labyrinth’s growth from Purgatory Volcano, and how repeated expeditions to defeat Idazred ended in near-annihilation.
• Allen learned that the Chimeric Dungeon had expanded to within four kilometers of the coast and reached S-rank after Idazred’s appearance.
• Allen asked Melna to extinguish her Divine Strike Spell, revealing lights floating on the sea and surrounding all three boats.

Allen and the adventurers encountered monsters at sea whose glowing bait organs made them hallucinate and lured them within reach. After Allen dispersed the scent, the survivors escaped to the beach, where they found no monsters waiting, though six adventurers had died.

• The adventurers mistook the approaching Light Orbs for Divine Strike Spells held by rescuers, but Allen noticed the danger and asked Os whether monsters lived in the sea.
• A monster attacked and killed an adventurer beside Allen, and Os recognized the Light Orbs as bait organs that caused hallucinations and called the creatures Demon Fish.
• Os fought off the Demon Fish while they attacked the boats, and Allen dispersed their confusing scent with a powerful gust of wind.
• Melna regained her senses, leaped into Allen's arms, and Allen tossed her back onto the deck as Lef and Klaim watched.
• The boats reached the beach, where the survivors found no monsters and realized that six adventurers had died.

Allen led the adventurers toward a distant fight to search for a Water Magician who might help them reach the Secret Sword of the Undead, while uncovering their fears and concealed motives. As Allen left the beach, Sea Beast Race members came ashore, and their leader said Idazred would kill him.

• The adventurers recovered from the sea battle and discussed the alluring scent that had confused them, while Melna felt embarrassed about jumping into Allen's arms.
• Allen questioned Os about the expanding dungeon and learned that Chimeric Dungeon floors lacked clear boundaries, while its lowest level was sealed by its lord.
• Allen forced the adventurers to face their reluctance to enter the dungeon, then Os explained that defeating the Secret Sword of the Undead required water magic, barriers, powerful swordsmen, and a Divine Strike Spell caster.
• Os and Lef revealed that the Secret Sword of the Undead had killed most of their party with one slash and could cut apart Divine Strike Spells, while Allen accused them of concealing their motives.
• Allen spotted a distant light and led the group toward a possible fight, leaving skull-headed figures watching from the sea; he recognized the Demon Fish as sea beasts rather than monsters.
• After Allen left, Sea Beast Race members crawled ashore, and their leader said Idazred would kill Allen despite his strength.

Lef and Klaim confronted their grief and argued over Lef’s desire for revenge before an Infernal Specter Parasitic Worm ambushed them. After the group regrouped, they found Allen standing amid a ridge covered in demon beast corpses, where he declared the missing adventurers dead.

• Lef told Klaim to stay with Allen while he pursued revenge, but Klaim refused to abandon him.
• An Infernal Specter Parasitic Worm attacked, and Lef shoved Klaim clear but lost an arm to its bite.
• Lef and Klaim fought the worm and its Specter Fish Worms until Melna shielded them with her Mana Barrier.
• The group gathered more adventurers and killed another Infernal Specter Parasitic Worm as they searched for Allen.
• Lef’s group reached a blood-covered ridge and found Os among the survivors and Allen beside heaps of worm corpses.
• Os reported that fifteen adventurers survived and others were missing, but Allen told him to consider the missing dead.
