Synopsis

The protagonist, observing the altered timeline, realizes that Taylor hasn't learned a crucial skill ('Element Slash') and Jikks isn't his friend, which is a problem since they are essential for the raid on Tarkan. Jikks's backstory is revealed, showcasing his past as a savage wolf-like child and how Elka's family took him in. He's so motivated to protect Elka that he's willing to become a beast again for her. The protagonist, seeing the disastrous situation, decides to intervene in the storyline directly to ensure that Taylor defeats Tarkan, splitting the raid team for intervention.
