Synopsis

The chapter reveals the terrifying strength of the Dark Families' undead army, forcing the group to rely on a high-grade mana crystal to survive. Nox, previously seen as useless, is credited with their survival due to his strategic actions and providing the mana crystal. Meanwhile, another character, possibly a researcher, questions the value of his research as it seems unable to protect his apprentice and feels influenced by Nox, who is disrupting his carefully constructed persona.
