Synopsis

This chapter focuses on a contest between Zephyr and the Cult Leader, structured as a coin flip but revealed to be a battle of mana manipulation where Zephyr controls the outcome through density and force. Despite the victory, an oath ring between the Cult Leader and someone else prevents revealing the Cult Leader's true identity, forcing a second match. The Cult Leader is surprisingly strategic, implying deeper ambitions and showing this strategic thought is preventing the full divulgence of Zephyr's information.
