Summary[]
In the New Patria, located in the southern region, the New Patria Army, with the assistance of the Ogre Incarnate, building a fortress in an unknown location. Cain watched the construction of the fortress while collecting and gathering all everything he could to prepare for the war between Patria. At this point a New Patria's soldier asks Cain why he did not attack the North after the revolution. Cain explains that their Incarnate power is actually very fragile. Moreover, they have only a small number of people endowed with divine powers, and they can be easily defeated when fighting against a hundred thousand soldiers, that's why they Incarnates did not end the war with victory at all. Cain said that now the time is right, and they just need to wait for all the characters and "protagonists" of the stage they created to arrive before taking action.
On the Great Mountains, Hank is walking in the snow of the mountains, he is exhausted to the point where he collapses in the snow. There in the snow he has a nightmare about all of his comrades that he had killed, in Hank's illusion nightmare, the ghosts of all the comrades he had slain so far come back to haunt him. As Hank woke up, he continued on telling himself that he must fulfill their Incarnate troop's oath. It look like Hank finally get a more concrete affect of the personal struggle that he is going through. When Hank wanders the Great Mountains, his former subordinate comrade -- Garmr Incarnate Roy, who was shows up before him. Roy told Hank that he followed Cain's orders and brought him a message, warn Hank not to continues to decline Cain’s invitation to join, if he doesn’t comply, he is to be killed. When Hank heard Cain ask Roy to bring him the message he wanted to give him, he refuses to answer. Hank tell Roy if he want to break their oath, he will to fight and kill him here. Roy believes that Hank is still obsessed with the past and has no regard for the overall situation of anyone, he tells Hank to stop calling him by the name he was called when he was in Incarnate troop, saying Incarnate troop no longer exists, and attacks Hank.
Meanwhile in Port Gulf's town, Schaal senses that something has happened to Hank. At this time, a Coup de Grace troop's soldier reported to Claude that the Sasquatch Incarnate that their troop originally to hunt had turned into a corpse when it was discovered. The conclusion is obvious Hank has been spotted in the central mountains. Claude said that although they had received information that Hank and Beatrice had contact with Sasquatch Incarnate nearby, they did not know which of the two Incarnates had encountered Hank. Since Beatrice was not the one they paid much attention to, their next target would be Hank, After heard Hank was the next target from Coup de Grace troop, Schaal was shocked and expresses concern over about Hank's current situation.
