Chapter Summaries

Lancelot secured Mona’s help concealing his reincarnator identity and received a Basic Gene Stabilizer to prepare for a deeper awakening. Meanwhile, Randall’s Gnoll troops used newly acquired weapons to ambush an attacking Hawkfolk force, leaving its leader Jerome stunned by the losses.

• Mona revealed she was the deputy director of Holy Sword Academy’s admissions office and offered to help conceal Lancelot’s reincarnator identity in exchange for future assistance.
• Lancelot requested a Basic Gene Stabilizer, and Mona gave him one while encouraging him to use his champion’s reward to choose a weapon.
• After Lancelot departed, a voice in Mona’s mind criticized her for placing no restrictions on him, but Mona muted it and considered what background to invent for him.
• Randall learned that his troops were out of anti-aircraft shells as roughly four hundred Hawkfolk approached, so he ordered his soldiers to deploy weapons bought from the Three-Eyed People.
• The Hawkfolk attacked the Gnoll outer defense line, but Strong Vibration Steel anti-aircraft machine guns firing Red Crystal Gunpowder rounds shot down many of them and stunned their leader, Jerome.

Logo expanded production and sales of the Campbell Family’s weapons while the Snake Gang failed to copy their advanced materials and decided to defend its arms monopoly in Sunset Jungle. After a Hidden Demon tried to assassinate Logo, he identified the Snake Gang as the likely culprit and prepared to use the attack to his advantage.

• Logo discussed the shortage of alchemists, the mecha production lines, and the Yigeng Tribe’s order for two hundred Golden Vipers with Crassus.

• Melier detected and captured a Hidden Demon that attacked Logo, and Logo recognized it as likely belonging to the Snake Gang.

Logo secretly caused Duoliya’s death and used the Snake Gang’s attack to conceal his role, while the Russell Family prepared to retaliate against the gang. In Bolake City, Lancelot considered his academy options and prepared to use a Gene Stabilizer.

• Duoliya’s curse and poison overwhelmed Tucker’s efforts, and Ron ordered him to save her before learning she had died.
• Lunbate reported Duoliya’s death to Logo, who explained that W012-type plant essence combined with Kuiming Flowers had triggered her curse and left no evidence against him.
• Logo learned that the Russell Family was directing its anger at the Snake Gang and that the gang’s assassinations had killed five important clan members; the leaders then set out to launch a counteroffensive.

• Burke and Cole argued over a first-class invitation to Holy Sword Academy while Lancelot said he would decide after the final exam.
