Synopsis

The chapter begins with the protagonist reclaiming his greatswords after a power-up, showing increased strength against the initial attacks. However, he is warned that his weapons are held by a stronger force than what he can control. Meanwhile, a separate antagonist observes the events and prepares a trap using a set up involving sensors and boxes, aiming to capture the protagonist's group and their leader. The chapter also introduces a new skill related to metal control, which seems to be the source of the protagonist's new power.
