With Midoki now nine years old, Cusadler leads the Holy Knights of the Kingdom of Lior, with Lancy as his vice-captain. The bond between master and apprentice endures, and the three set out together on a mission to cleanse a dungeon resonating with an energy that had been unleashed four years earlier—facing challenges and unknown dangers.
The Kingdom of Lior relies on the Holy Knights to deal with emerging threats, and Midoki, despite his youth, stands as a remarkable presence with his growing cosmic powers. The dungeon, shrouded in mystery and arcane danger, promises to test not only the trio's physical strength but also their spiritual and strategic prowess.
The Kingdom of Lior faces a new menace rising from the depths of a mysterious dungeon. Rumors of shadowy beings and ancient artifacts draw the attention of the Holy Knights, led by Cusadler and his vice-captain, Lancy. The young prodigy Midoki, now nine years old, is summoned to join the expedition, displaying a level of maturity and control over his cosmic powers that surprises even the most seasoned warriors.
Upon entering the dungeon, the group encounters shadow creatures and arcane traps that challenge not only their combat skills but also their spiritual abilities. Each descending level reveals an additional layer of mystery, as Midoki unleashes his Shinrei of Eminence to uncover hidden secrets.
The dungeon becomes a battlefield where not only dark forces are confronted, but also the bonds between masters and apprentices are tested—shaping a story filled with twists, intense emotions, and cosmic revelations.
The discovery that the dungeon is, in truth, a gateway to the Demon Realm (Underworld) elevates the Holy Knights' mission to a new level. The presence of Marcos Vine, the current Demon King, casts a chilling shadow over their journey.
As they advance through the dark corridors and face legions of demons, Cusadler, Lancy, and Midoki realize their mission surpasses all known boundaries. Midoki's cosmic powers become essential as he harnesses the Shinrei of Eminence to combat demonic threats and uncover the hidden secrets of the Demon Realm.
The revelation that Marcos is not an immediate enemy, but a being tormented by the weight of time, brings an unexpected perspective to the narrative. The Holy Knights—Cusadler, Lancy, and Midoki—are left astonished upon learning that since the fall of Lyoness, an incredible seven thousand years have passed.
Marcos, the Demon King, emerges as a complex figure, worn by the ages. His story, interwoven with cosmic events, unfolds to reveal not merely an antagonist but a character steeped in sorrow and nostalgia. The Holy Knights' mission now transcends the limits of physical battle, delving into the implications of time and the transformations that have shaped the universe they inhabit. This turning point opens space to explore themes of redemption, forgiveness, and understanding amidst a conflict that spans millennia.
Marcos's revelation shakes the Holy Knights—especially Midoki—when they learn that his brother, long dead, has been gone for thousands of years. Marcos explains that Gaia's destruction came at the hands of Arthur Pendragon, the King of Chaos—an event that shaped the fate of realms and echoed through the centuries.
The story of betrayal and destruction adds a new layer of complexity as the Holy Knights begin to comprehend the depths of a cosmic struggle transcending generations. While confronting the shadows of the past, they face the inevitability of time and the devastation caused by the choices of legendary figures. This pivotal moment opens paths to explore vengeance, redemption, and the intricate legacy left by those who shaped the universe.
Marcos's revelation about his brother's death unveils an even greater tragedy: the fallen brother is Melyadus Vine. The news reverberates among the Holy Knights, stirring a mix of shock and grief.
Learning that Melyadus—a prominent figure in cosmic history—has been gone for millennia, the Holy Knights face not only the magnitude of time but also the loss of someone who once played a vital role in maintaining the universe's balance.
Separated from the group for a brief moment, the resonance of Midoki's power transports him to a realm beyond ordinary reach. There, he encounters an enigmatic, veiled woman whose presence radiates a mystical and wise aura reminiscent of the legendary wizard Merlin. The Witch regards Midoki with eyes that seem to read through the layers of his cosmic essence.
Their exchange transcends the barriers of time. The Veiled Witch reveals buried truths, connecting Midoki's past and present to a greater cosmic purpose—and unveiling insights about future events. This mystical encounter opens the door to deeper understanding of Midoki's role in the universe and how he may play a crucial part in resolving the intertwined destinies of the Holy Knights.
The Witch's revelations echo in Midoki's mind, as she explains that Arthur's powers of Chaos—the very force that brought about Gaia's destruction—are, in truth, fragments of the Shinrei of Eminence.
She tells him that the Shinrei of Eminence is a force that transcends realms and dimensions, manifesting in different ways throughout time. Yet she also whispers of a tragic fate—a curse that lingers upon Midoki's path. The fragments of the Shinrei of Eminence, now encapsulated within Arthur's chaotic powers, become a vital piece of the cosmic puzzle Midoki is destined to solve. This knowledge redefines the Holy Knights' mission and sheds light on the intricate interplay of forces at work.
The Veiled Witch reveals to Midoki that although Arthur Pendragon perished ages ago, his essence still lingers within a statue celebrated as a symbol of heroism.
- Mysterious Witch: "Beware the one who carries the sword of light, for shadows dwell within his heart."
Yet the hidden truth is that Arthur, far from being a hero, became a dark figure—a villain whose actions continue to reverberate through time.
The statue, erected in Arthur's honor, now serves as a source of chaotic energy, sustained by the fragments of the Shinrei of Eminence. Now, it falls upon Midoki and the Holy Knights to confront not only the challenges of the present but also the remnants of the past that have shaped the destiny of the universe itself.
