Synopsis

The chapter opens with the protagonist facing Nirg, whose spiky attacks and energy recovery make him a formidable opponent. The hero finds their magic spells ineffective and considers their options before the arrival of Argenta, a thunder bird, is announced as dead. The protagonist receives map fragments, one relating to the Thunder Bird, and one to the Steel Imoogi, Nirg, which they need to activate to proceed, and eventually defeats Nirg. They realize they are still weak despite their improvements, and they also discover that their map fragments can track other enemies, including the decaying knights.
