After Ciprins Field’s experiment destroyed the laboratory and his relationship with Reynold ended, he met Mephistopheles Madsen while studying at the library. Their arrest led to a prison attack, which they helped repel, and they chose to remain in their cell to keep practicing magic as the summit arrived.
Xipei and Mel grew closer as the summit brought cyborg attacks and renewed conflict with Reynold. After Xipei helped stop the attackers and spent time with Mel, Reynold confronted him again, and Mel turned Reynold into a sheep in public.
Xipei and Mel moved into the mage tower, confessed their feelings, and set out with Lusien and their companions to rescue Anna and Moli. Their search led them to a collapsed mine, where they found signs that Lady Angela had fought the cyborgs.
Xipei, Mel, and their companions uncovered a cyborg attack in the mine, fought through the enemy base, and rescued their captured apprentices and other prisoners. The arc ended with the group naming a rescued sacred tree elf Ruiduo while Field sensed a faint fluctuation from his teacher.
Mel, Xipei, and their apprentices set out to rescue Reynold and the Dragon Emperor, fighting their way through attacks tied to the kidnappers’ search for an ancient weapon. They rescue Reynold and uncover a likely entrance to the ruins, while Mel and Xipei reaffirm their plans to marry.
The party explored the Radiant Fortress, fought its ancient machines, and uncovered the devil’s schemes and the history of its sealed demons. After the Flame of Fury reunited with her companions, they battled the Machine Zealots to rescue the Dragon Emperor, whose cage fell toward a giant black dragon.
After the rescue at Radiant Fortress, Xipei and Mel returned to the mage tower, confronted the past surrounding Mel’s teachers, and became entangled in new sorcerer and warlock threats. The arc ended with attacks across the Federation and a concealed Osite mothership revealed near the capital.
Ciprins Field and his allies stopped the mothership and foiled the Machine Zealots’ attack on the Federation, while Mel and Xipei announced their engagement. In the aftermath, Ciprins declined the Shadow Moon high priesthood and returned to tower life, where his reforms sparked a student protest.
No recap yet. An arc gets one once it has 25 chapters.
