Chapter Summaries

Kallen and his companions explored an abandoned island site, then rested on its shore while he read about a protagonist who escaped a murderous moon-worshipping community. Mota’s praise of the Moon God awakened a woman in red beneath the well, and she approached Kallen under a blood-red moon to thank him for the offerings he had brought.

• Muli, Philomina, and Bart reported an unusual pit in the island’s woods, and Kallen led the group there to investigate.
• Kallen and the others found humanoid sculptures and a clear-water well but detected no spiritual power or other obvious anomaly, then returned to shore to rest.
• Kallen read about a traveler who fled an island community that planned to kill him and wondered whether it could have been Dark Moon Island.
• Mota praised the Moon God after winning Werewolf, and a red light appeared in the well as a woman in a red gown emerged and began searching for the source of the sound.
• Kallen noticed that the moon had turned blood-red, sat apart from the group, and heard an unfamiliar woman thank him for the offerings he had brought.

Kallen was trapped while a red-clad woman consumed two Moon Order God Church clerics and transferred power to him. The sacrifice ended, Kallen’s Eyes of the Dark Moon grew stronger, and Kevin recognized the presence of God's Bone.

• Kallen found himself sealed inside a cylindrical barrier and realized it might be protecting him rather than imprisoning him.
• Kevin sensed something wrong, and Ansi was lifted into the air, drained of blood, and reduced to ash by an unseen force.
• Mota was dragged away next and consumed despite his protective artifacts, while Puer ordered the others not to rescue him.
• A red-clad woman appeared before Kallen, and he placed his hand in hers as she transferred power into him and enhanced his Eyes of the Dark Moon.
• The woman departed and Kallen rejoined the group as the barrier vanished; Kevin then barked about God's Bone, which Alfred recognized.

After Kallen’s Eyes of the Dark Moon bound him to the island’s unfinished altar, he returned with his squad to find the closing ritual. When the red-robed woman emerged and pursued Philomina, Kallen dragged her into the well, where he witnessed the Dark Moon goddess’s ancient vow of revenge.

• Kallen chose to leave the island, and Kevin and Alfred set coordinates so the squad could return later.
• As the sea beast carried the squad away, Kallen’s eyes tore with pain, forcing them to return to the island and investigate the unfinished ritual.

• Philomina began to fall asleep as the red-robed woman emerged from the well and moved to pursue her.
• Kallen restrained the woman with the Chains of Order and threw himself and her into the well.
• At the bottom of the well, Kallen witnessed a Spiritual Imprint of the Dark Moon goddess distributing her bones and vowing to rise again and take vengeance.

Kallen fought the Dark Moon Goddess’s bone puppet in the well while her escaped spiritual imprint targeted Philomina, seeking to use her as a vessel. The bone puppet drove its sacred bone into Kallen’s chest and began transforming him into a Dark Moon follower.

• Kallen realized the Dark Moon Goddess had sacrificed herself to preserve her faith and revenge, then restrained her puppet with ice after she broke free of his Chains of Order.
• The spiritual imprint escaped the well, and Puer warned Aisili to make Philomina fall asleep before it could reach her.
• Memphis pushed himself through increasingly frantic Magic Cube calculations, unknowingly feeding it blood from his palm.
• Xianty warned Philomina to sleep, then exploded as the spiritual imprint seized her body and entered her dream.
• In Philomina’s dream, the Red-Clad Woman revealed that she and the bone sought a vessel to reach the battlefield between the Moon Order God Church and Reincarnation, but Philomina refused to worship the Dark Moon.
• Kallen fought back with light and order fire and stabbed the puppet with the Sword of Arius, but she drove the bone into his chest and began his Dark Moon transformation.

Kallen resisted the Dark Moon’s attempt to take over his body, while Philomina trapped the Red-Clad Woman inside a second layer of her dream. As the bone prepared to destroy Kallen and the island, the Dark Moon Goddess’s will offered Kallen a gift in exchange for an oath, but he refused to agree and told her to beg him.

• The Red-Clad Woman told Philomina that she and the bone had rebelled against the Dark Moon Goddess and wanted to take Philomina and Kallen as hosts.
• Kallen summoned the powers of the God of Light and the God of Order to suppress the Dark Moon Goddess, then restrained the Red-Clad Woman and began absorbing the bone.
• Kevin explained that Kallen’s body could absorb the bone because he had modified it to withstand a god’s descent.
• The Red-Clad Woman seized Philomina’s body, but Philomina returned to a second dream layer and revealed that she had prepared the trap for Grandma.
• The bone began to self-destruct, threatening Kallen, Philomina, and the island, but the Dark Moon Goddess’s will intervened and offered Kallen a gift for swearing to avenge her.
• Kallen refused to accept the offer immediately and told the Dark Moon Goddess to beg him.

Kallen used his emerging power over Order to force the Dark Moon Goddess to beg Puer for help taking revenge, while Kevin recognized the hatred of gods beneath Order’s hunger. The chapter ended with the Moon Wheel in the Moon Order God Church cracking.

• Kallen absorbed the bone in his consciousness, regained control of himself, and returned to reality as Puer and Kevin watched over him.
• Kallen held the bone in his chest and endured his muscles and bones restructuring, while Puer and Kevin discussed the changes to his body.
• The woman in red told Philomina that the bone's intelligence had been erased, gave her a dagger hidden in the cabin, and warned that the island might still be annihilated.
• Kallen discovered that he could digest only a third of the bone and could not pull out the rest without triggering its explosion, so he ordered everyone to evacuate.
• Memphis used the Key of the Magic Cube to work out the Closing Ritual, and Puer told Kallen to hold on while Memphis and Mars prepared to seal the well.

Kallen and his companions completed the Closing Ritual, escaped the island, and began their journey home while discussing their plans. During the voyage, Memphis dreamed of his lost sister and woke in tears after Kallen approached him.

• Alfred and Mars prepared the Closing Ritual, and Kallen authorized them to begin; the ritual calmed the bone and left a statue in Kallen’s likeness, which he ordered Alfred to deface.
• The Red-Clad Woman returned to her imprisonment, and Philomina woke safely as Kallen’s group left the woods and chose the island as a future secret base.
• Alfred, Puer, and Kevin discussed Puer’s promise to help the Dark Moon Goddess, Kallen’s plans for revenge against Vicolai, and possible promotions after their return.
• Memphis dreamed of his sister’s life, her failed mission, and the nightmares in which she suffered before a sword ended her torment.
• Kallen practiced walking on the sea beast’s back, found Memphis awake with tear tracks on his face, and quietly asked whether he was all right; Memphis smiled through his tears.

Kallen revealed to Mr. Eisen that he was his nephew, and the two reunited while agreeing to keep Kallen’s identity secret. Later, Philomina asked Kallen to help protect her from her grandmother and reflected on her family’s curse, ending by wondering whether her grandmother’s love had turned to hatred after learning Kallen had a fiancée.

Kallen, Muli, and Philomina boarded a pirate ship to reach Fire Island and secure access to its Communication and Teleportation Magic Formations. After Kallen stopped a mutiny and learned the island was governed by the Lomaford Pirate Alliance, a naval battle erupted near the harbor as they approached.

• Kallen chose to scout the pirate island with Muli and Philomina while Alfred stayed with the concealed sea beast, and the three swam to a small pirate ship with Puer along.
• Kallen and Muli attacked the mutineers, and Philomina joined the fight; they defeated the mutiny leader and his supporters and freed the white-bearded captain.
• The captain identified the destination as Fire Island, the main island of the Lomaford Pirate Alliance, and said its Communication and Teleportation Magic Formations could be used for Point Vouchers.
• Kallen ordered the captain to take them to the alliance, while Puer took a pirate hat and celebrated her first pirate ship.
• As the Golden Luo neared the harbor, the captain ordered it to stop and raise the white sail when two fleets faced off, then the fleets began exchanging cannon fire.

Kallen and his companions found Fire Island caught in political turmoil, with its communication and teleportation formations shut down and the Lomaford Alliance divided over the churches’ war. A mark for a secret gathering led Kallen to recognize the Light Remnants and declare that he had found his organization.

• Kallen’s pirate ship escaped a naval battle, and Fire Island’s coastal guns forced the opposing fleets to withdraw.
• Kallen learned that the Lomaford Alliance had closed its communication and teleportation formations, while its three strongest families tried to keep the island neutral.
• The old captain revealed that the alliance had suffered heavy losses in a clash with Dark Moon Island’s fleet, which had the Order God Church’s support.
• Kallen’s group went to the market to buy supplies, and Kallen spotted a newly carved sign for a secret gathering.
• Kallen identified the sign as a message from the Light Remnants and told Puer that he had found his organization.

Kallen infiltrated a gathering of Light Remnants on Fire Island and discovered that Taufman was arranging his escape while warning him about a dangerous plan involving a sealed creature. Taufman urged him to report the threat to the Order God Church, ending with the warning that people might call for Light's return if Order failed to maintain peace.

• Kallen left Puer and Muli behind and took Philomina with him to attend the Light Remnants' secret gathering.

• Taufman told Kallen about the horrors reported on the Mipos Archipelago and asked him to alert the Order God Church to prevent another catastrophe.
• Kallen questioned Order's response to the Mipos tragedy, and Taufman said people would call for Light's return if Order abandoned its responsibility to preserve peace.

Kallen and Philomina stayed at an inn on Fire Island while the Delan, Castle, and Watson families prepared to awaken a colossal being beneath a volcano. The being’s ripple reached Kallen, Kevin, and Puer, drawing Puer into a dream where she rode Kevin into battle against a three-headed dog.

• Kallen refused two women offering massages, gave them Order Vouchers, and went to sleep while Philomina kicked away a man who offered her a massage.
• Alfred wrote notes about Kevin, the gods, and his doubts about Kallen, then concluded that he must have misunderstood if Kallen ever strayed from his principles.
• Wenbote Delan, Milis Castle, and Xilin Watson revealed an enormous eye beneath the volcano and planned to awaken its guardian with help from an elder of the Church of Light.
• A ripple from the being reached Kallen, who resisted it in his sleep, while Kevin sensed and caught it, allowing Puer to be drawn into the same dream.
• Puer found Kevin facing a three-headed dog in the dream, climbed onto his back, summoned a flaming sword, and charged as the Evil God Knight.

Puer and Kevin fought Gilagon in a mental space, defeated the Three-Headed Hound, and then healed it before their contact ended. Later, Kallen sensed a strange ripple of consciousness, and Puer and Kevin encountered Gilagon again when they returned to the mental space.

Kallen’s group was later approached by three disguised Abyss Church members, and their greetings revealed that each side mistook the other for fellow believers.

Kallen and his team accompanied Taufman to the Teleportation Magic Formation hall so Taufman could sabotage the arrival of a Light elder and help them escape. The elder forced his way through anyway, then freed Gilagon, whose emergence devastated Fire Island before the giant hound tried to undo the damage.

• Kallen left with his team and met Taufman, who escorted them toward the Teleportation Magic Formation hall and promised to destroy the receiving formation after sending them away.
• Old Wenbote challenged Kallen’s presence, but Kallen touched his shoulder and shared a warm aura of light before the group entered the hall.

• The Hunched Youth invoked the God of Flame’s Attendant and released Gilagon, the Abyssal Three-Headed Hound of Sin, from beneath Fire Island.
• Gilagon emerged from the volcano and shook buildings down, then tried to swallow the falling fire and magma and lick the damaged houses back together.

The Evil Three-Headed Hound Gilagon awakened on Fire Island, where Laura tried to guide it back to the Abyss and the Delan Family attempted to bind it through an ancestral ritual.

• The Hunched Youth revealed Blazet, who bewitchingly stirred Gilagon’s buried anger and resentment until the hound lost control.
• Gilagon attacked Fire Island with magma, meteors, and its snapping jaws, killing residents as tears shone in all three of its heads.

As Fire Island descended into slaughter, Taixisen and his companions approached to investigate, and he decided to intervene despite Vic's warnings. They found an old captain willing to sail toward the island, which Taixisen took as the God of Order's will.

• Blazet and the hunched young man watched the Abyss Sin Three-Headed Hound massacre Fire Island's inhabitants while discussing their plan to revive the Church of Light and bring down Order.
• The old captain ordered his crew to sail back to Fire Island to evacuate the important people, but his sailors and sons refused.

• Taixisen laughed and declared that the captain's decision was the God of Order's will.

Taufman overloaded the hunched young man with light power, giving Kallen and his squad an opening to attack him. As Blazet intervened, Kevin’s gaze met the ghostly face’s, and Blazet recognized him; elsewhere, a deity arrived at the ruined God-Burial Land and set coordinates.

• Taufman poured his remaining light power into the pythons, making the hunched young man stiffen and giving Kallen an opening to strike.
• Kallen and his squad attacked together, with Muli, Ventura, Bart, Blanche, Aisili, and Philomina helping pin down and wound the hunched young man.
• Memphis and Mars used the Triple Defensive Formation to suppress the enemy’s attempt to teleport away while Kallen drove the Sword of Arius into his chest.
• Blazet looked toward Kallen, but Kevin leaped in front of Alfred and met the ghostly face’s gaze; Blazet recognized him and exclaimed, “It’s you!”
• At the ruined God-Burial Land, another deity examined the remains, found his broken skull, and set coordinates.
