Synopsis

Sir Devde reveals his apparent age change is due to switching between 'ND' and 'ST' forms, not actual aging. A raid force from the Royal Society, led by Niphirm, arrives to tackle the Primordial Core, but the Count deems them too weak. He contemplates hiring a powerful mage tower instead, unaware Niphirm has overheard his plans and intends to deal with the mage tower first, viewing it as an obstacle.
