Summary[]

Hank, who had just left the Whitechurch and continued to walk alone in the Great Mountains, collapsed in the snow due to exhaustion. Not long after, he woke up because of the scene where he dreamed of the accusations and pleadings of his teammates who were killed by him.When Hank tried to move forward but he was attacked from The Incarnate Garm and his weapons were knocked off. Garm bit and injure Hank's left arm and throw him on the ground.

Garm asks Hank why he doesn't work with Cain and saying he won't do anyone any good if he continues to resist assisting Cain. Hank felt ironic that Garm would speak threatening words and picked up his weapon again to fight, but he knew that he was at a disadvantage during the engagement in fighting Garm in his human form, so he used a grenade to cause an explosion to cover and escape quickly into the woods. At the same time, Coup de Grace was also looking for Hank's whereabouts in the snowy mountains. Schaal knew that Claude would catch Hank. She had to find Hank and tell Claude what she wanted to say to Hank.

On the other hand, Hank hides next to a tree in the woods, enduring the pain, loading Godkiller Bullets into his pistol, and trying to find a way to  without having to rely on him transforming into an Incarnate power for defeat Garm. Garm found Hank in the woods and attacked him. Garm spots Hank in the woods and attacks him. At first, Hank tried to throw the knife at Garm, waiting for Garm to reveal a flaw and shoot him in the chest with a bullet. Unexpectedly, Garm blocked the bullet with his hand and knocked Hank to the ground. Hank was attacked from the front and fell unconscious.The sun rises, and since Hank can only use his Incarnate powers at night, Garm decides to leave the woods and tells Hank that it's best to remember his true identity, as he won't let their duel end there.

On the same day, when Coup de Grace was also searching in the snowy mountains, Claude was injured and passed out with fever due to being pushed too far. The team stopped in front of an abandoned fortress, Muzzle Peak Lookout to treat him.When Claude awakens later in the afternoon, he asks Schaal about her choice to protect all the Incarnates even though she knew they were dangerous. She states they didn't ask for what happened to them and would have been better if they had humans to support them – like Trice did. Schaal explain to Claude about she wanted to find a answer for the Incarnates and humans to live in peace, and to find a way to return the Incarnates to humanity.At this time, Gerald reported to Claude and Schaal that he had sent a reconnaissance team. He told Claude that they had discovered the whereabouts of Hank and an unknown Incarnate.Claude convened the troops to hold a combat meeting to bring back Hank and defeat another unidentified incarnate. Just as Claude was about to set off with his exhausted body, Lisa said that he needed to rest first, so he had to order Gerald took command of the troops on his behalf. When Schaal received information about Hank's whereabouts, she decided to follow the troops to find Hank.

Hank wakes up after nightfall and fights Garm, but is at a disadvantage. Garm caught Hank and asked him how he became so different from his previous behavior. Since they are incarnations rather than beasts, they should regain their will and glory in their era, instead of Obsessed with human identity, but Hank refuted Garm's statement. In his eyes, Garm was just a hound that had lost its will and dignity after being played and tamed by Cain. Garm was angered at this that he pierced Hank's chest with his claws.Hank painfully turned into a werewolf form and suppressed and severely injured Garm in his berserkly and driven mad .However, when Hank's left eye was soaked in blood, he recalled the situation when he transformed into the king of the beasts form in his dream and returned to reason, but he screamed out of fear and attracted the attention of the Coup de Grace troops and Schaal. As he screamed, Hank transformed back into his human form, buthe was unable to continue fighting due to fear. Garm was furious and dissatisfied that Hank was suddenly unable to continue fighting with him. He repeatedly beat Hank into a dying state and tell Hank that his oath alone could not save them. When Garm was about to give Hank a fatal blow, Coup de Grace troops appeared and attacked Garm,However, their attack caused the part of the cliff where Hank was standing to begin to break and he fell rapidly. When Schaal found the seriously injured Hank calling for him, Hank follows him as he falls off the cliff into the darkness below of the canyon.
