Personality[]
Hank displays a rather relaxed personality. He even went as far as to fall asleep in a tavern and did not show any signs of hostility towards Schaal, despite being shot by her.

If they lose their humanity and become monsters that harm the world, then they will be buried as humans by the hands of their companions. Therefore, after the Incarnate troop was "disbanded" later, whenever an Incarnate lost their humanity for some reason, Hank was hunt them down and mourn them without hesitation.

Even when he was deep in fear, self-blame, regret and guilt, he could not bear the pain and despair. In a state of self-abandonment, he asked Schaal to understand herself personally. Later, he received Schaal's understanding and comfort, and promised himself that as long as he turned into a beast, she would kill him. This allowed him to cheer up and continue the battle to redeem himself and his comrades, and to fight Cain to the end again.
History[]
Past[]
Hank is a resident of a small town called Bluelake. When South army troops destroyed the town, he lost the memory of his earlier life. So from that moment on, his first memory from that moment of being discovered in the ruins of the house. Hank lost his parents in the war and became an orphan. Although he was helped by Elaine Bluelake, who also survived by the town, he was too frightened and faced memory loss and aphasia. Later, he was cared by Elaine and speak when comforting her. Because he lost his real name, he was named by Elaine (the meaning of his name is the name of the "king" of a distant country). At that time, Hank was taken care of by Elaine, he always treats her as his elder sister.[2]
Afterward, Hank followed Elaine to the city named call Newfort. When Elaine taught other orphans how to make a living, Hank were fought off any adults who try to harmful them. When Elaine was invited by a Reverend Jameson Ferguson of "The Church" , a learning institute for young geniuses, Hank follows Elaine to the "Church" (because Elaine's condition to the reverend Jameson is that she takes Hank keep stay with her).[3] Later, Hank and Elaine received good care in this institution, and he became friends with Cain Withers , who was about to join the school. Although Elaine went on to become a top student in the church after a few years, Hank was still unable to keep up with her or Cain but still worked hard to study hard, he also to learned a lot of knowledge from Cain's teachings. Beside, Hank were also teach Cain a lot of he did not know game.[4]
The period of becoming an Incarnate[]
As an adult, Hank decides to join the army and contribute to bringing peace to Patria in order to become independent as soon as possible and not continue to rely on Elaine and Cain's aid. He accepted Cain's arrangement and entered the military academy to devote himself to training, but he never went to the front line until the North was in trouble.[5] Before leaving for the battlefield, Hank wrote to Elaine saying that he was well adapted to the rigorous training at the military academy and that the date he was going to the front line had been confirmed. Even though he was training in drills when the war in the north was not going well, Hank bet that Cain would use his connections to keep him from getting deployed going to the front line. Hank said that he still couldn't remember his memories of Elaine and Cain before they met, and he hoped that Elaine would remember the memories after they met. He said that their hometown, Cain's deceased mother, and people who have experienced the same thing as them should not be added. He said that he would try his best to end the war and meet with Elaine and Cain again, and asked Elaine to take care of herself.[6]
Later on the battlefield, Hank soon learned the cruel reality of war. Even so, he just wanted to calm down the war so that he could devote himself wholeheartedly to the battle, not causing sacrifices to anyone, and trying to find the feeling that he was still alive.[7]After some time, Hank was stationed in a town called Greenspring that was attacked by the South. When he was annoyed that reinforcements had not arrived and was worried about whether to retreat, he discovered two children on the battlefield who had not yet taken refuge outside. Although Hank tried to save the two children to a safe place but hit by artillery fire. After Hank was seriously injured and saw the two children die, he was sent to École when he was in danger and he could not protect others. There, Hank reunited with Elaine, who was spearheading the human experiments. Elaine was unwilling to use Hank as an experimental subject, but in order to save Hank, she make him become a the first Incarnate.[8]Later, Hank transformed into an Incarnates and successfully completed the assigned mission. He inspired the key to the "aptitude" hidden in Incarnates, allowing Elaine to successfully develop the Incarnates.[9]
The beginning of the oath made[]
Later, Elaine created more Incarnates in École, the North used the Incarnates created by Elaine to establish the Incarnate Force to turn the tide of the Northern Army. These Incarnates became active under the leadership of Hank and Cain. During this period, Hank taught his comrades in the army how to learn to maintain humanity, rationality and how to survive. He said that they only need to survive and protect their important things, but they must to not monopolize the power of their incarnates, and need to control the power of the incarnates, he ask his comrades to made an oath "Those who lose their humanity shall be slain by their comrades." Although the Incarnate troop helped the North defeat the South and win many battle, but many Incarnates who could not be annihilated were killed on the battlefield in the process.
Near the end of the war, Hank thought about arranging the surviving Incarnate members on the final battlefield, not like the other Incarnate members and thinking about their want to do after the war. Cain was proud of Hank's ability to lead members of their force to victory, He knew that Hank performed well but was too serious and almost didn't care about what happened next. Cain told Hank that Elaine had something to say outside the military camp want to talk to him, Hank went out to talk to Elaine at Cain's suggestion. Outside the barracks, Hank talks to Elaine and she asks him if he remembers the oath their force oath and if he regretted had the power of the Incarnate. Elaine tells Hank that the North and South army have privately negotiated a settlement and that a draft peace treaty will soon be completed, by which time their divided countries will become one and also added that after the war, they may face the scene where there is nowhere. Elaine says that all the Incarnates will eventually lose their humanity and become a threat to humanity sooner or later, she would execute all the Incarnates while they still had their humanity to prevent the situation from getting serious.
Elaine apologized to him shortly after she shot Hank, She knew that Hank's personality would prevent her, much to her chagrin. When Elaine decided to commit suicide while Hank is unconscious, she handed Cain some Godkiller Bullets and convinced him to execute the other members of Incarnate with her, thereby erasing those related to the Incarnates from the world. However, Cain shoots Elaine and freeing all the Incarnate members, and he take Elaine's corpse disappeared . Later, Hank was discovered and treated at a clinic in the village. When he woke up, he learned that the war was ended, all members of the Incarnates troop have returned, and no one knows the whereabouts of Cain and Elaine. Hank remembered the way he saw Cain treating Elaine, and felt angry and decided to fulfill the oath of their troops to launch a crusade against Cain, and also to retrieve the dead Elaine, transform into a beast hunter, and kill all Incarnates who turned into beasts.[10]
In the Burnwood met to Schaal[]
During the end of the war, Hank hunted and kill a lot of his former comrades. During this period, Hank worked with Liza Renecastle, a female intelligence officer who helped and provided him with many incarnations about Incarnates. The relationship lasted less than two years. When he once hunted one of his Incarnate comrade, he not to notice the existence of his comrade's daughter , and thus became the target of the girl's hatred.
Three years after the end of the war, Hank rests in Burnwood's tavern, He's suddenly shot at by a girl who named is Schaal ,but he with to the armor beneath his jacket and not big deal. When the shooting stops, Hank gets up, apologizes to the other patrons and grabs Schaal to outside, and telling her she shouldn't point her gun at humans. she informs him it's a keepsake her father and introduces herself. Not responding, she questions if he’s forgotten that he killed her father. He stops listening to her when hears about the arrival of his target: Daniel Price.[1]
Hank walking into the street, He asks Danny if the "work" he's been doing recently is related to the recent attack on a nearby merchant's carriage. Schaal appears in front of Danny, questioning if he intends to kill him. Hank asks why she's protecting a murderer, but is forced to act when Danny tries to attack Schaal. Drawing his weapon, Hank asks if he remembers their promise, which prompts Danny to attack him. Avoiding the attack, Hank jumps on his back and stabs him with his weapon, then triggers the grenade attached to it. Standing above him, Hank apologizes and shoots him in the head. Being questioned by Schaal , Hank reveals to Schaal the promise they made in the troop and explains that the war didn't truly end. He suggests that if she wants to know the real reason why the war is not over and why her father were being hunted, she should follow him to find out all the answer.[1]
Rouge Hill[]
Schaal decides to travel with Hank and accompany him. Along the way, Schaal overreacted a bit when Hank offered to help her move her luggage. Hank was confused when Schaal stopped to enjoy his usual cup of tea while checking the time. When Hank asks if Schaal's tea was poisonous, Schaal claims that she won't kill him with anything other than the gun she inherited from her father, but their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of a passing traveler. Schaal tells passers-by that they are going to Rouge Hill and accepts his offer to have Schaal and Hank ride in a traveler's carriage to hear about the presence of an Incarnate in Rouge Hill.
When Hank and Schaal arrive at Rouge Hill, he finds Liza waiting for him outside a store. In order to avoid Liza's misunderstanding, Hank took Schaal and fled into a hotel, but Liza arrived before Hank and blamed him for his unreasonable behavior. [11] Liza briefly introduces to Hank that their intelligence agency has processed the intelligence information related to the incarnates he recently hunted, and then provides some information about the Incarnate Minotaur. When Liza discovers the hole in Hank's coat and asks him what's going on, after Hank introduces Schaal to Liza, the Minotaur is noisy on the balcony of the fortress preparing for battle, Liza explains the Minotaur to Hank and Schaal to build the fort, Hank decided that he would operate at night and sleep during the day, much to Schaal 's surprise and annoyance. That night, Hank was dreaming about Elaine once telling him that all Incarnates would lose their humanity and how she shot him when she wanted to end all their comrades 's life. At this time, Hank was woken up by Schaal and claimed that he was just In a dream from his past, when Hank discovered that Schaal had repaired the bullet holes in his coat, he was grateful to Schaal and explained that the Elaine he mentioned in his sleep was a friend he knew and had blue eyes similar to Schaal's. Later, Hank plans to go to the Minotaur's fortress to satisfy Minotaur's desire to fight.[12]
When Hank and Schaal arrived at the Fortress, Hank warned Schaal to pay attention to the fortress's mechanisms and fired a flare into the sky. Hank and Schaal entered the fortress and saw the remains of the townspeople who tried to sneak into the fortress. Hank stopped Schaal and triggered a speargun trap ahead of them. As they walked through the fortress, Hank described to the Incarnate Minotaur Theodore Sherman as an extremely timid man. Theo put himself in danger at that time, so Hank taught Theodore how to survive. Hank continued into the fortress without realizing that Schaal was not keep follow him .[13]
When Hank found Theo, Theodore told Hank that he had built a fortress to hide from enemies since their team had disband. Hank dismissed Theo as there were no enemies around, Theo shouted that he knew his "enemies" were always around to watch him. When Hank took up arms and asked Theo to end everything, saying that he was here to stop and hunt his "enemies". When Theo heard that Hank was his enemy, he picked up his ax weapon and activated the bombardment mechanism to fight, but Hank dodged the bombardment and counterattacked with a flare and tried to attack Theo's head, but Theo quickly dodged Hank's attack and used his ax to smash the floor, causing him to fall from the ceiling and get shot by a crossbow. When Schaal and Liza, who are walking through the fortress, witness this, Liza stops Schaal who wants to help Hank because Hank will survive and he is one of the few Incarnates who can switch between different forms.[14]
Hank unleashed his Incarnate werewolf form and used his weapon to wound Theo's cheek. When he told Theo what it meant for him to become a werewolf, Theo claimed that he did not want to become like others people can die and create traps, but he doubts that neither traps nor fortresses can escape fear. Hank uses his weapon and stabs Theo in the neck before detonating a grenade to blow up his armor and knocking him down. Theo told Hank that he didn't think he needed to be afraid to build a fortress. Hank shot Theo with a gun and soon fell to the ground from exhaustion. Schaal and Liza carried him out of the fortress. Hank asked Schaal about her whether was afraid of he turning into a werewolf Incarnate, Schaal was relieved to deny Hank's statement.[15]
Railway[]
When to received Incarnate Behemoth Arthur Allston walking from the east towards the railroad, Hank, who came to support the army but arrived belatedly, picked up his weapon and shot Behemoth in the joint, knocking him to the ground. Although the military restrained Behemoth, the boss of the railway company protested that Behemoth should be killed. Hank explains that Incarnate Behemoth's ability cannot be easily killed. He proposes a plan that can save the iron bridge and make Behemoth leave. When the boss of the railroad company leaves angrily, Schaal asks Hank if he knows why Behemoth is so determined to travel eastward. , but he didn't know Incarnate Behemoth Arthur's thoughts, he knew that Arthur had no intention of harming anyone, but if Arthur didn't change his course, he would still kill him. [16]
Later, Schaal and Hank go to see the steam train on the railroad, and Hank explains to Schaal that the railroad bridge is important to industry and people. That night, when Schaal was nearly attacked by a robber, Hank killed the robber and protected Schaal from the night attack outside. At this time, the soldiers guarding Arthur approached Hank and said that they had received his order. But Hank said that he did not give this order until he remembered that it was a plan secretly planned by the boss of the railroad company. At this time, there was an explosion outside and Arthur fell into madness because someone was trying to kill him. Hank told Schaal that he was now There is no choice to kill Arthur, as if Arthur does not stop walking the bridge will collapse. However, Schaal objected to killing Arthur and believed that Hank was wrong to deny his wish.[17]
While waiting for the moment Arthur passed through the valley to prepare, Hank knew that his Incarnate power could not stop Arthur at all, but he thought that Schaal had considered Arthur's position, and Hank asked Arthur why he continued to walk and ordered He stopped walking, but Arthur was unwilling to stop after hearing what Hank said, so Hank had to command the army to blow up the cliff and let a huge boulder fall on Arthur. The subsequent explosion opened a hole in its stomach as Arthur stood up. When Arthur continued walking, Hank asked Arthur to stop walking in view of their past position of bringing peace to the world. When the sun emerged, Arthur stopped and fell dead in front of Hank. Hank turned around Only after looking at it did I realize that Arthur walked from the east to the railway line because he wanted to see the sea. Later, Hank revealed to Schaal that Arthur wanted to see the sea during his lifetime. He knew it but didn't think about it, but Schaal told Hank that he had realized Arthur's wish.
Later, Liza interrupted and approached them while two soldiers were escorting two men. Liza revealed to Hank that the two men were prisoners who attempted to kill Incarnate Behemoth and were also related to the boss of the railway company. By then the military The intervention and investigation will make it impossible for the boss of the railway company to escape unscathed. After Liza mentioned that their intelligence agency were found Cain was in Whitechurch, Hank became emotional because he finally found Cain. Schaal noticed Hank's strong reaction and asked him if he knew who Cain was. Hank explains to Schaal that Cain and he were former leaders of the Incarnate forces, and were also the one who unbound and liberated all Incarnates in the world.[18]
Whitechurch[]
After hearing Cain in Whitechurch, Hank and Schaal take a train to Whitechurch. On the train, Schaal had breakfast with Hank and asked him about his past and the war. Hank explains to Schaal how the current situation with the Incarnates began and the roles he, Elaine, and Cain played in it. At this time, Liza reminded Hank and Schaal that they were about to arrive in Whitechurch. When Hank and his party arrived in Whitechurch, they noticed a group of people nearby. Hank studies the reason for the crowd: a murdered prostitute in the street. At this time, a little boy stole Schaal's suitcase, but Hank caught the boy and handed him over to a police officer. Hank found that there were traces of animal claws on the body of the other murdered prostitute and concluded that it was not Cain did. However, the young thief returns and explains that the gargoyles were responsible for the crime. Hank learns of the existence of gargoyles, and he and Liza are talking about the fact that not only Cain, there are other Incarnate in the city that also haunt in Whitechurch.[19]
Hank and the others listened to the boy explain that the gargoyle was hiding in a nearby abandoned church. Hank tells Schaal about the Incarnate gargoyle Christopher Keynes. He reminds Schaal that he remembers that the Incarnate gargoyles hunted women and children after the war. Hank asks Schaal if she can shoot the gargoyles if she sees them. When Schaal goes out to find the boy, Hank watches the two children chasing and playing in the street reminded of his past. Just when Hank discovers the gargoyle's hiding place, he sees the gargoyle flying out of the church and thinks of Schaal. When the gargoyle rushes towards Schaal and the boy, Hank rushes arrived and fired at the gargoyle, but the gargoyle dodged the attack and attacked Hank and used the buildings in the street to hide his whereabouts. Fortunately, Schaal noticed the gargoyle's location and reminded him. Hank attacked one of the gargoyles. Wing fired, but his right hand and abdomen were scratched by the gargoyle's claws. After the gargoyle declared that Hank was a "sinner" and would wait for his arrival in the church and left, Hank asked Schaal why she hesitated to not shoot the gargoyle. [20]
After Hank treated his wounds with Lisa, he estimated that the gargoyle would need some time to repair his injuries. Hank asked Schaal to stay indoors and reminded her that in case he didn't come back the next morning, she could ask Lisa. Taking her away from here, Hank went to the church alone to find Topher, only to find that he used the sound made by the echo of the church to avoid his attention, and also used the statue to attack himself to avoid his attack. When Topher appeared, Hank Transformed into a werewolf and started fighting with him, fighting each other up and down the eaves of the church. When the gargoyle attacked with the statue again, Hank took up his weapon to destroy the statue and create a barrage. He jumped behind the stone statue track, ripped off one of his wings and pinned him to the ground. It turns out that Topher specially shot Hank with a Godkiller Bullet to change him werewolf transform back to the his human form. Just as Topher dragged Hank to the window of the high floor of the church to deal with him, it stole Schaal. The boy with the shotgun suddenly appears and shoots Topher, causing him to turn his attention to the boy. Schaal appears, surprising Hank and questioning her intentions. When Schaal discovers that the boy is seriously injured, her reprimands Topher for its intentions and taking a gun and shooting his head, Hank witnesses this and shoots Topher while Liza tends to the boy's injuries and sent to him in the hospital .
Schaal asked Hank shortly after he dealt with Topher, she ask him why all the Incarnates were completely unable to live in peace with humans. Hank said that their Incarnate power was so powerful that it was difficult for human willpower to withstand it, and echoing Hank's words, appeared in Cain in front of Schaal and Hank said that the power of the Incarnates is so strong that it can suppress weak people.[21] As soon as Hank saw Cain, he became so emotional that he picked up a pistol and pointed it at him. But when Hank shoots Cain, Cain quickly recovers from his injuries and taunts Hank for being completely human and asks if he has forgotten his abilities. Hank understands and discovers that Cain relied on his vampire Incarnate ability. to repair his wounds. At this time, Schaal was captured by Incarnate Arachne Elizabeth Weezer who was assisting Cain. Cain felt ironic that Hank always focused on the immediate goal and ignored the situation behind him. He said that he wanted to invite Hank to the party he was hosting tomorrow night, before leaving, Cain stated that he would release Schaal as long as Hank could arrive.[22]
The next day, under Lisa's questioning, Hank decided to go to Cain's gathering place, Although Lisa reminded Hank that because the military believed that Cain was MIA on the battlefield, they would not help them. Hank said that he knew this, and claimed that he would not handle the matter well as a military status and remembered that William had told him about Schaal. Recalling that Lisa asked Hank to stop, she said that she had found out the location of Cain's meeting place and that they had to "disguise" first to be cautious. That night, Hank and Liza, dressed in formal attire, came to Cain's gathering place. Hank discovered that there were differences in the lives of people in slums and rich areas, and Schaal, who was wearing formal dresses, happened to be with Hank and Liza. When Hank asked Schaal where her clothes came from, Schaal found that Hank did not look sloppy at all. After Hank explained to Schaal that this was a dress prepared by Lisa for him, Schaal understood and recognized the taste of all mature women is Really are different breed. Hank comforted Schaal and said that he thought Schaal matched the dress she was wearing unexpectedly. When he patted Schaal's exposed back, she was frightened, prompting him to apologize to Schaal quickly. At this time, Hank saw a bright light and stopped talking , then he and Schaal, Lisa are listen Cain's speech. As they listened to Cain introduce the gathered nobles to the Incarnates who had joined him, shortly after Cain's speech ended, they witnessed the Incarnates who had followed Cain massacre all the guests.
When Hank asked Cain to order his Incarnates to stop all this and asked him if he deliberately abandoned the oath of their Incarnate army, Cain interrupted Hank's ask the oath and said that he knew that Elaine had told him before her death that all Incarnates would eventually lose their humanity. The statement concluded that they had to disappear along with the war. Hank agreed and explained that Elaine was prepared to atone for being resented by everyone when she created their Incarnates. Cain asks Hank if he knows anyone who can determine their Incarnates normal humanity. He also explains that humans' distorted concepts are what make them lose their humanity, and he wants to continue the war that was forced to interrupt so that the war can return to what it should be "end" method. When Cain ask Hank joined him, Hank decisively refused. Cain ordered Arachne to manipulate the webbing of Schaal's dress. Before Hank and Lisa could react, Schaal was pulled onto the stage by Arachne. Cain pulled a revolver from his coat and said he will "destroy" the "chain" that "bonds" of Hank, and Hank rushed to the stage to trying to protect Schaal, but he was suppressed to the ground from the Ogre Incarnate who joined Cain. When Hank witnessed Schaal being shot by Cain and falling to the ground, he flew into a rage and berserkly and driven mad , He showed to his true Incarnate form " Lord of the Beasts" in front to Cain and Lisa, including Schaal who was facing to fall into a coma. Afterwards, Hank transformed into a giant, glowing wolf that could not be contained in Cain's mansion and destroyed an entire roof enough to crush Incarnate Karkinos beneath its feet, and he destroyed the first urban area of Whitechurch in an unconscious state. Later, not only Hank , Cain and all the Incarnates present and disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown.[23]
Great Mountains[]
After the incident in Whitechurch, Hank did not realize that Schaal was survived the shooting because she was wearing a dress made from Arachne's Incarnate ability that blocked the bullets. However, it was not just the Whitechurch incident that caused great turmoil in Patria; Cain declared that the Northern government had not properly handled the aftermath of the war and believed that the Northern government would have to pay the price for this. He led the Incarnates who followed him to recruit many Southern soldiers and nobles who were dissatisfied with their post-war treatment, as well as citizens who complained about poverty and formed a resistance force. They declared independence from Patria and established New Patria. After that, New Patria used the relatively backward western region as a stronghold to gradually occupy neighboring areas, and used the land separated by a mountain in the west as the boundary between its power and independence from Patria.
Therefore, not only did Cain founded the rebellion in New Patria, but Hank's destruction of the Whitechurch also attracted and shocked the attention of the Patria government, making them anticipate that the situation was too serious. Because of this, the government ordered that all Incarnates who were once "heroes" and difficult to deal with should be treated as harmful beasts and be hunted down. Not only that, Hank was not only become a target of the Coup de Grace, a human force that hunts down all Incarnates, and he maybe also be facing the military's decision to strip of his military status.[24] One year after the incident of Whitechurch during the period when Schaal persuaded Liza and Claude Withers, the Major captain of Coup de Grace, to ask her and their troops to launch an operation to found Hank , Hank hunts down the other remaining Incarnates on his own. However, Hank had gone through the period when he had caused the Whitechurch Incident and had an instinctive fear and afraid his powers as a beast and is in agony.
After Hank killed an Incarnate Sasquatch who was also a fellow Incarnate trooper but had lost his humanity, he gradually fell into guilt and fear with his Incarnate power. [25] Later, when Hank loses consciousness while advancing alone on the Great Mountains, he wakes up from hallucinatory scenes of being blamed by the his comrades as he killed. He gradually begins to doubt whether the oath he swore in the Incarnate Force has any meaning. As Hank continued to advance on the Great Mountains, he saw Roy, the Incarnate Garmr who standing with Cain, waiting for his arrival. When Roy tells Hank about Cain's give a to his message, Hank explains that this is not the promise they made and explains that he didn't want to fight Roy if he can to do it. Roy tells Hank that because he's persistent in clinging to the past, he can't see the big picture to anyone, he launched a long hunting chase against Hank.[26] As time passed, Hank, who was hiding in the woods, felt that he could not last long in human form. He picked up the crossbow and shot Roy in the chest with an arrow when he found his position, but Roy blocked the arrow with his hand and hit Hank hard with his claws, knocking him into a coma. Roy quickly left shortly after dawn because he know Hank's Incarnate power only can use in the night. The next night, Hank woke up in his nightmare and noticed that his injuries were also on alert, while Roy waited for Hank to wake up in the tree and continued to ask Hank to transform into a beast and fight with him. [27]
Roy further asked Hank how long he would continue to be a human being. In Roy's eyes, Hank had been deceiving himself and refused to admit it. He had long lost his sense of pride and was trapped in the fear of changing himself. Hank replied that he could reverse the disadvantage even without relying on the power of his incarnate, but Roy saw through that Hank's lie word and throws him a tree to try give him an attempt to give a fatal blow, but Hank dodges and jumps on Roy's shoulder to impale him with his sword, but Roy grabs Hank's left arm and throws him to the ground , and stabbed Hank's chest with his claws continuously, and decided that Cain would continue to cause wars and let them die gloriously like soldiers on the battlefield. Hank decided that Roy's nature was to be a dog loyal to Cain, so he reluctantly transforming into a werewolf and fighting Roy. The fight between Hank and Roy appeared in front of Schaal, who was looking for him, and Gerald Corlani the Sergeant of the Coup de Grace. At first, Hank bit Roy's left shoulder and aimed at his neck, but Roy in turn bit Hank's neck and knocked him into the edge of the cliff at the expense of his left eye. Roy said it was over and asked Hank to join Cain. Hank told Roy that the war was over and there was no more reason for them to continue fighting, but Roy refuted Hank's idea and concluded that He couldn't save all their incarnate comrades and give them a final chance to rest in peace. When Roy was shot by the troops led by the Coup de Grace, Hank took advantage of When Roy was ambushed, he jumped off the cliff and was seriously injured. Before Hank fell into coma, he think he had kept the promise he made for Elaine. When he saw Schaal looking for him looked like Elaine and changed back to his human form, and then lost consciousness. [28]
When Hank woke up he was in the cave and saw Schaal making tea and offering himself a cup of hot tea. During the conversation with Schaal, Hank learned about the experience of Schaal's father William being resurrected and turned into a beast without any reason, and after she forgave him for killing her father, Hank questioned Schaal about relying on her forgiveness, she could give his all comrades a last chance to rest in peace and forgive him.[29] Hank explains that he has been fighting to fulfill his oath to the Incarnate troop. He knew that he had killed many comrades who wanted to live, but he was unwilling to give up their last oath as humans. Hank knew that he had caused the Whitechurch Incident and asked Schaal if he could If he wants to kill him personally, he knows that as long as he uses the power of Incarnate many times, he will gradually lose himself. He was fear of fully transforming into a beast , afraid of losing his humanity that will he fulfill the oath ,and made him will permanently lose the qualification ineligible to live. He only wish wanted to die while he still had his humanity and remember his comrades. Schaal understands what Hank means, but she is unwilling to accept his request. Hank knew that Schaal's personality could not to kill him, so he apologize to Schaal and ask her to remember their existence after this is all over before leaving.[30]
At the same time, Roy was severely wounded by the ambush trap set by Gerald and Liza, who followed Claude to rescue him, used her three-barreled shotgun to barely escape into the woods. Hank saw Roy in the woods, who had been seriously injured by Coup de Grace's ambushes many times, and sarcastically commented on how embarrassed they were after being seriously injured. Roy asks if Hank wants to delay until dawn and warns him even with his Incarnate powers, he still can't reverse the situation. but Hank said that in order to fulfill the oath made by their Incarnate troop, he must take action. Roy ordered Hank not to drag the rest to their comrades into his delusions and said that Hank was exist in the past. Hank knew that he such like a pitiful trapped in days gone by, but he believed that only he fulfill the oath by himself for good. Just when Hank was about to let himself and Roy die together, Schaal rushed out and shot Roy in the chest with her shotgun. She asked Hank to live and fulfill his agreement until the last moment. Schaal asked Hank to keep bury many Incarnates who lost their humanity, did not receive forgiveness , salvation and redemption, and turned into beasts, so that they can begin to end human lives. She also promised that if Hank turned into a real beast, she would kill him with her own hands let he could be buried as a human being. Hank understood what Schaal meant, he think what he and his comrades really wanted was someone to give them the words of condolence and mourn. He leaned close to Schaal's ear, then he run to Roy and quietly discussed their tactics and lowered his head and let Schaal shoot Roy in the chest with her gun. He stuffed it with a grenade and detonated the grenade to blow up Roy's chest and make him fall to the ground. Hank said his condolences to Roy, Roy dies shortly after expressing his admiration for Hank. Hank nearly collapsed from exhaustion shortly after shooting Roy, when Claude led the Coup de Grace troops to appear.[31]
Returning to Muzzle Peak Lookout where Coup de Grace was temporarily staying, Claude revealed Hank crimes and the destroy he had caused to Whitechurch before interrogating his done, stating that Hank would have to pay for his sin. Hank asked Claude if he wanted to hauling him to a court and asked if his troops could kill him who destroyed Whitechurch and at the same time complete the mission of conquering all the Incarnates. Claude told Hank , they don't need the power of Incarnates and ask him to tell him the information he knows about Incarnates. Hank told Claude about Lisa has the "information" that he wants, and claim the only thing he can tell to how to deal with the other Incarnates' method and also knew that Claude was Cain's younger brother. When Claude asked Hank if he knew why his elder brother Cain became the leader of the rebellion and why he became the Incarnate, Hank told Claude that it didn't matter why and explained that Cain had lost his mind and only killing him would end it all. Schaal asked Claude not to keep blame Hank, even though they hunt Incarnates differently, they have the same purpose. She asked Claude if she could cooperate with Hank for the time being and would reserve punishment for Hank until they had hunted down all the Incarnates and finished everything, because Hank is the only Incarnate who can fight against all the Incarnates who have lost their humanity. After the incident, Hank noticed that Schaal had become different. He knew how much Schaal had changed when he met him, and he asked Schaal if she was ready for a long battle. Schaal explains to Hank that her destiny was set in motion when her father left for the battlefield, saying that she had found her purpose even though she had nowhere to go. Hank thanked Schaal for giving him a glimmer of hope and decided to continue stopping Cain.[32]
Bold Creek Fortress[]
In preparation for battle to New Patria, Northern Union of Patria decided to attack Bold Creek, the base for western expansion and try to ally with the Southern Confederation of Patria. Coup de Grace was also sent to the Bold Creek fortress to perform a mission to defeat the Incarnate found in the fortress. Hank temporarily teamed up with Claude to end things with Cain as soon as possible, because they learned that Cain was also in the Bold Creek fortress.[33]
After arriving at the military camp outside the Bold Creek fortress, Claude asked Hank to temporarily wear the Coup de Grace military uniform in order to prevent Hank's true identity from being exposed. They met with Colonel Martin Wall, the man in charge of commanding the troops. When Colonel Martin mentioned how their scouts were defeated by arrows from unknown sources, Hank explained the abilities of the Incarnate Centaurus Miles Byron and devised a night attack plan to subdue him. Although the military followed Hank's plan to lure Miles, and Coup de Grace used Hank to lure Miles into a trap and shoot him, Miles relied on his immortality to heal his injuries and leave, which surprised Hank and Claude. The next day, because Miles did not show up again after last night's battle, Colonel Martin praised Coup de Grace's ability and suddenly talked about the discovery of a werewolf Incarnate in their army, which made Claude were worried, but Colonel Martin believed that it belonged to them illusion seen in it. When Gerald reminds Hank about Colonel Martin's caution, Hank thinks he just has to do what he has to do.
At the same time, in the government army camp, when Schaal, who was distressed by being rejected after trying to help others many times, asked Hank if he wanted her to help, he immediately denied it and asked Schaal if she was coming to the battlefield, and reminded her that she had the ability immediately. But there was no guarantee what would happen, it was enough that she just didn't do something. The next day, except for Hank who was on the front line, every soldier was very uneasy in the trenches, even under enemy bombardment. Hank comforted a soldier, which reminded him of his former comrade Theo, who comforted him before. When he heard the bugle, he climbed out of the trench and told the soldiers to rush into the enemy camp. While the soldiers of both sides were killing each other, Hank used the bayonet on his gun to kill the enemy soldiers while paying attention to Miles's movements. When Miles appeared, he attacked the government soldiers several times. Hank tried to find a way to stop Miles while hiding in the trenches to protect the soldiers, but Miles threw grenades into the trenches and killed many soldiers. Just when Hank was at a loss, he noticed that the ground collapsed due to the bombardment and turned muddy due to the rain. He immediately appeared in front of Miles and knew that the reason he decided to transform a Incarnate was just to save many soldiers. Miles tells Hank that he only sees the surface and does not pay attention to what is inside, and Miles says that he only enjoys the sound of others' sorrow. Hank laments that Miles' mind has become broken because of this and lures him to rush in front of him. Hank stabs Miles with his spear weapon and throws him into the mud formed by the collapse of the grenade bombardment and the rain, and then uses a signal flare to signal the army to open fire.
Not long after the army attacked Miles with cannons, Miles still tried to use his immortality to repair the damage he had suffered, but soon Miles discovered that his injuries were not healing but starting to disintegrate. Hank sensed something was wrong and quickly dodged, while the soldiers near the trenches gradually fell to the ground and died of poisoning. Hank discovered Miles' condition and realized that it was the power of Hydra Incarnate, whom he killed. Colonel Martin used the poisonous gas bomb "Alphahard" that the President developed with the military's research on Hydra Incarnate 's corpse to kill Miles. Miles mocked Hank for being completely unaware that the military was playing with the corpses of their comrades, and lamented that he finally heard his own voice. As he was shot by Hank, he told him to have enough fun with Cain before going to see their companions. After Hank shot Miles, he turned and ran towards Cain's location. When Cain raided Martin's barracks, which made Lisa and Schaal hid aside to witness the commotion caused by his new abilities and killed Colonel Martin and his soldiers, destroyed the "Alphahard" potion that he took from Martin, Hank threw his weapon at Cain, and Cain quickly dodged Hank's weapon and faced him. Looking at Hank and Claude, he also felt ironic that Claude pointed his pistol at him but was unable to do anything.
Hank asked Claude to command the army to go to the fortress, and he confronted Cain alone and asked Cain about sending only Miles but no support. Cain told Hank that if he had a smart mind, he shouldn't fight alone for a long time. At the same time, the gaze becomes shallow. Cain's answer led Hank to realize that the Bold Creek fortress was just a decoy for a feint diversion. Cain asks Hank if they should talk since they are seeing each other again. He asks Hank what it felt like to release his forbidden powers in Whitechurch, and Hank grabs his weapon and rushes towards Cain. Cain understood that Hank was no longer shaken by his words, and Hank answered that it was hard to say which of them should not be taken lightly, and explained that they could only show their true strength at night, not to mention that he had not yet used his full strength. As Cain uses his powers to dodge Hank's attacks, he explains to Hank that their powers are not bound by day or night, time, or location. When Hank notices Cain behind him, he stabs him with his weapon, but Cain grabs the tip of his spear and states that Hank's powers are not just beastly instincts but something much stronger. Hank detonates his weapon but is surprised to see Cain quickly dodge the blast and stand next to Colonel Martin's corpse. Cain asked Hank if they were better than each other based on their strength but said that was a thing in the past. Indirectly, his ability gradually caused Hank's right hand to be injured. Cain said that Hank's knowledge of the opponent's ability was completely subverted. , the expression that contains endless anxiety, anger, murderous intent and hatred is quite good.
On the other hand, Claude led the Coup de Grace troops to the fortress, but soon discovered that not only the citizens of Bold Creek, but also the enemy soldiers suddenly turned into the undead army and began to attack them, causing Claude to have no choice but to shoot the undead army. , and after Cain paid attention to the situation inside the fortress and looked at his pocket watch, he told Hank that even if they couldn't decide the winner at all, he had one thing to deal with personally. Cain said that the times are gradually beginning to change, and he doesn't care even if anyone will be swallowed up by the trend. He also expressed the hope that Hank can continue to survive the changes as his friend. When Hank tries to catch Cain, Cain quickly disappears and tells him why they don't go witness the new era God is establishing, stating that they will meet again on the next new night. After Cain disappeared, Hank felt resentful that he had missed the opportunity to end things with Cain and missed asking Cain about the whereabouts of Elaine's corpse, but he was more interested in knowing the outcome of the capture of the fortress whether is bad or good, after Claude deals with the undead army, he notices a girl watching all of this.
After the fortress was captured, Hank, Schaal, and Liza watched as the Coup de Grace troops and government troops were busy dealing with the aftermath they left behind. When Liza asked Schaal if she was mentally prepared, Hank did not object to Liza's question to Schaal. When Schaal and Claude saw the brutal corpses of the citizens of Bold Creek who were shot dead, they were both shocked. Schaal believed that this was not a war but an act of massacre. Claude also agreed and felt that killing innocent people was something their army should not do. , Hank refutes Claude's statement that once these things are related to their Incarnates, no matter whether there are victims or who are the innocent people, it will eventually turn out like this. Hank asked Claude if there were other Incarnates present at the incident at the fortress. Claude asked Hank if he knew any Incarnates who could manipulate people or even the dead. Hank said that even if there were Incarnates with similar abilities, no one else could manipulate the dead except Cain. When Claude said the man looked like a child, Hank was quite surprised because there were no child type Incarnates in the Incarnate troops and thought of a girl who stayed with Cain. Hank began to suspect that Cain must be hiding something from him.
After the incident, the government army successfully captured Bold Creek Fortress, but the price they paid was that the capital of the South had been captured by New Patria, and the massacre of Bold Creek citizens caused anger and dissatisfaction among many southern citizens who supported New Patria. Therefore, Cain,as the leader and envoy messenger of New Patria, took Ogre Incarnate and Griffin Incarnate to the presidential palace in the North capital Newfort to negotiate and reach a "truce sound and reconciliation agreement" with his father, President Richard Withers, in order to obtain the Incarnates of New Patria stood in power of free movement.
Solving the mystery of the uninhabited for Double Walker Town[]
After the battle of Bold Creek fortress were "ended", Hank learned from Claude the existence of the mysterious girl who controlled the citizens of Bold Creek, which reminded him of the girl who stayed with Cain. In order to understand what a hidden secret Cain was hiding ,Hank decides to resign from the military and with Schaal investigate the mystery surrounding the Incarnates and try to found Cain's whereabouts.
Later, when Hank and Schaal heard the news that Double Walker Town was uninhabited for some reason, they decided to find out. It happened that Hank met his former companion Robert Arbell, who was also Doppelgänger Incarnate. Robert explains to Hank that he forgot to use his Incarnate ability. He only knew what he had done when the troop was disbanded after the war. He only knew that he was protected by New Patria and thought Cain continued It is wrong to keep the war. Robert explained that not long after New Patria and the government planned the territorial boundary, he was worried about what would happen to his hometown governed by New Patria, so he begged Cain to let him return to his hometown, but found that his hometown had mutated since then. Robert asks Hank to help him find out what happened in his hometown, and explains that he is temporarily living in a hotel room. He initially wanted to arrange two rooms for Schaal and Hank, but Hank asks Robert to arrange for them to live in the same room and asks Schaal to cooperate with his actions.
Schaal knew that Robert was just as worried about the whereabouts of the town's residents as they were, and suspected that he was really an Incarnate. Hank reminded Schaal that even if Robert was like him and Cain, it didn't mean they could trust Robert, and explained that not everyone in the world was a good person, and there were Plenty of wolves and demons in men’s clothing. Hank decided to stand guard at night and asked Schaal to pick up her shotgun and be ready to fight if anything happened, and also reminded her not to let her guard down against Robert. That night, when Schaal was sleeping, a reptile-like strange creature was entangled around her feet, which woke her up and she took her hunting rifle and shot it, but found that there were other strange creatures wanting to attack her. Fortunately, Robert came and took an axe and quickly chopped them down. Schaal asked Robert if those alien creatures were Incarnates, but Robert had never seen these creatures before. He also learned from Schaal that Hank was on guard at night, so the two hurried to support Hank. At the same time, Hank took up weapons to attack many strange monsters surrounding him, and Schaal and Robert promptly shot at the strange monster that tried to attack Hank. The group of monsters quickly escaped, and Hank found that the body parts of the monster he was holding were rapidly decaying, and after seeing Robert's concerned expression, he thought that this incident might not be a simple coincidence.
The next morning, Robert said he never expected there would be monsters in the town. Hank thought the monsters and their leader were hiding somewhere in the town. Robert knew that Hank was fulfilling the mission of their troops after the war. He swore an oath and explained that everything would change after the war, and said that the monsters only needed them. Hank asks Robert if he really forgot what his Incarnate ability was for, and Robert explains that he heard from Cain that the Doppelgänger Incarnate 's ability was to create countless soldiers and drive them around, but he doesn't remember what happened afterwards and also feels a bit of a headache and his mind is fuzzy. Hank said that he had heard that some soldiers would lose their memory in fierce battles or after brutal experiences. He asked Robert not to care about it. He decided to hunt down those monsters at night, and also suggested that Schaal and Robert It would be safer to stay in town. Although Robert said he wanted to assist Hank, Hank told Robert that since there was no military equipment in the town and he didn't know how to use his Incarnate ability, he might be a liability if he wanted to help.
Later, Hank entrusted Schaal to protect Robert from her sight when hunting monsters, and Schaal followed Hank's words and hoped that Robert would stay with him in a certain house. In the evening, Schaal watched the Double Walker Town In the scene outside, Robert told Schaal something about his hometown and why he chose to become an Incarnate. That night, when Robert and Schaal were waiting for Hank to come back in the basement, Schaal tiredly explained to Robert that she couldn't wait long. Robert told Schaal that she could get some sleep while she waited for Hank. Not long after Schaal fell asleep, Robert was worried about Hank and sneaked out. On the other side, Hank entrusted Schaal to protect Robert from her sight when chasing monsters, and he found some reptiles at the door of the basement of a certain house. He turned into a werewolf at night and quickly sneaked into the cellar to defeat them quickly. After all the monsters, he saw something that surprised him. It looked like a monster but it was the original Robert.
The original Robert told Hank whether his true appearance was really embarrassing and desolate, and also explained that although Doppelgänger Incarnate 's true ability was to produce troops, it produced monster-like duplications after the war, and those duplications would not be controlled. They kill people everywhere and use the corpses as food for the main body to eat. The original Robert thanked Hank for not bringing "the duplicate" to the cellar. He asked Hank if he already knew that the "duplicate" was the Robert he and Schaal met in Double Walker Town and what about he did around the town. After Hank asked the original Robert to explain the whole incident, the original Robert told Hank that Cain took him back to his hometown, and that he knew that his power was gradually losing control but did not kill him personally, Instead, he asked him to live their Incarnates 's life as a "god". The original Robert said that he really wanted to die after the war and did not look forward to that kind of life. The original Robert explained that his power continued to increase, and his body gradually grew to the point where he gave birth to monsters, unable to be separated from the cultured fetus, and gradually became a "monster that birth monsters" . Those monsters do not live by their own will, but by "something" hidden in his chest. And when he produced the last normal "replica" Robin, he had no idea that he was just a being who lured people who appeared in the town as bait.
The original Robert knew that his normal copy knew nothing, inherited almost no memories, had no powers, and existed only as bait. He asks Hank to let his normal replica live as a human. But not long after, the "replica" Robert entered the cellar and shot the original Robert. The surprised Hank told the "replica" Robert that he did not ask him not to come to the cellar. The "replica" Robert Devastated by what he saw as the situation, he took the pistol in his hand, put it in his mouth and committed suicide despite Hank's dissuasion. When the original Robert discovers his normal duplicate, he realizes that his power is sinister and asks Hank to kill him. After Hank had no choice but to shoot the original Robert, the original Robert explained to Hank on his deathbed that Cain was trying to create a "failure" Incarnate like him. He asked Hank to stop Cain and told him that if he wanted to To know the truth about all this, go to the place where Incarnate was founded - École to find the answer. Afterwards, after Hank returned to the basement, Schaal apologized to Hank for not taking a good look at Robert. In order to prevent Schaal from knowing the true story between the "replica" Robert and the original Robert, Hank lied Robert helped him defeat the monster and left town. Schaal unknowingly felt reassured about Robert. She asked Hank if he was responsible for keeping a lookout while he slept. Hank said that there was no need for them to keep a lookout and explained that Double It is enough that there are no more monsters in Double Walker Town.
Two weeks later, Hank and Schaal met Liza again at a restaurant and asked her to find out the location of École. Liza was annoyed that Hank couldn't remember the location where their Incarnates was established. She reminded Hank that because the military and intelligence agency had not completely recorded the information about Incarnates, she had to go to École to find out all answers. Hank explains that now that he is not a military and does not have any special privileges to use, he reminds Liza to protect herself, because he feels that he is busy enough to protect Schaal and to deal with his affairs.
Returning to École again and chatting with Schaal about the beginning of everything[]
In order to find out where École is, Hank, Schaal and Liza decided to ask for information in a pub. While Hank was asking around, he heard many rumors and rumors related to École from the tavern owner and two guests. Later, when Hank and his party were walking through the dense forest, Liza asked Hank if he remembered the route to École. Hank explained that he only remembered the view of École but not the way in or out, because that they brought outside here in total secrecy, Beside, they were isolated regardless of their entry or exit, it was the same coming and going. Only select military and government officials were knew École's exact correct location and direction.
When Schaal reminded Hank and Liza that there was an abandoned hospital outside near the mountains, Hank recognized that it was École. Hank saw that there were many vines on the door of École. He estimated that no one had been here since École was abandoned. Although Liza reminds Hank that the military has already banned the creation of Incarnates after many major incidents with Incarnates, Hank believes that as long as they explore École, they will know the "things" is Cain got at the center of École. When Hank, Schaal and Liza entered the interior of École, Schaal found that the interior of École looked a bit like a dormitory. Hank explained that the Incarnates once stayed here. He explained that the main body of École was built in an abandoned mine tunnel underground, and the one above The hospital is an empty shell in disguise. Hank believes that keeping École's important information secret requires time and preparation. As Hank waved away a flying insect with his hand, he became wary when he heard a strange noise. At first Hank thought it was his illusion. When he, Schaal and Liza came to a room and saw phantoms made by flying insects, he found that the phantoms made by those flying insects showed that he once saw Elaine had expressed to an experimenter when the results of the "experiment" came out, he realized that there was something he didn't know he wanted to show him.
As Hank and his group continued walking, Liza asked Hank if he knew anyone in the Incarnates force who had the ability to create phantoms. Hank explained that he only knew the various abilities of all members of the Incarnates force, but he determined that the phantom was more likely to be an Incarnate. Later, Hank and his team came to the gate leading to the center of École. He thought that once they got to the center of École, they would know what secret plan Cain was doing. Although Liza admonishes Hank and reminds him that there may be a trap at the heart of École, Hank explains that he does not want to question Robin's last words. At this time, when Hank and his party arrived at the center leading to École, Liza had doubts when she discovered that the passage leading to the center of École was connected to an underground tunnel. Hank explained that the military did this deliberately, not just to keep it secret. Later, Hank and his group discovered that the underground hallway of École center had proper facilities. When Hank touched the wall, he found traces of soot on the wall, and he concluded that there had been a fire accident in École center.
At this time, when Schaal felt dizzy and a little groggy, Hank reminded Schaal that the air in the center of École had become bad after it was abandoned, and he asked Schaal if he could wait for him and Lisa outside. But Schaal refused and felt creepy after seeing other phantoms. Then, she found a flying insect on her finger. When Schaal asked Hank if he knew what kind of flying insect it was, Hank said that he didn't know about the flying insect. He also explained that from the time they entered the tunnel until now, there were many flying insects wandering everywhere. Later, when Hank and his team arrived at the laboratory where Incarnates was researched, Liza found that all related materials and equipment had been burned to the point where there was no trace left. Hank think that was Elaine did, he know Elaine once asked the military to prohibit anyone from participating in the "ritual" of making the Incarnates, and also asked that no one know the relevant technology of how to make Incarnates like her, unless the military accepts Elaine's request for "absolute control of the mysteries", otherwise the engineering operation to create the Incarnates will not be officially launched. Because Elaine didn't let anyone to creating the Incarnates even without her presence. Liza was surprised that the Northern Army wanted to get the Incarnates during the war. Hank explained Elaine considered when the war was over, not only the military and the government, other countries or organizations similar to the Inquisition would use their methods and means to find out the relevant information about the creation of the Incarnates even concerning the dangers of information, production methods, and adverse evidence that would identify her as a heretic, as long as she destroyed the relevant materials, equipment, and relevant evidence and disappeared from the world, that is no one would create the Incarnates.
After listening to Hank's words, Schaal felt sympathy for why Elaine wanted to bury the Incarnates with her own hands. Hank also thought that it would be good if Elaine could handle the matter smoothly, but he also knew that not everything was smooth. Hank explains that no one who was at École had any idea of what they were doing or whether they were doing the right thing, because at that time everyone was wandering and struggling in the dark, always believing that they could completely change everything. Later, after Hank and his team discovered the phantom of the process of making Incarnates in École's operating room, Hank explained that after their Incarnates were brought into the operating room as humans, they first had a stone called the "Incarnate core" forcibly implanted in their bodies, and then they would over time, there have been countless changes between humans and beasts. But not everyone survives the severe pain that comes with every change, and the risk of physical and mental collapse.
Hank explained that whether people identified with the "Incarnate core" can withstand the pain of change and accept changes depends on their "luck." With their human bodies, they can suppress the power given by "gods". They will only release the "shackles of God" at the last moment and turn into beasts. However, as long as they release the "shackles of God" on the battlefield, it means that they will never be able to turn back into humans after the war and can only survive in the form of beasts for the rest of their lives. They must to accept this cruel fact or not is also their will that decides. After listening to Hank's story, Schaal was shocked to think of her father turning into a beast when he returned from the war. Hank said that the Incarnates and the power called "God's Power" were not worthy of gratitude and not for magic and miracles. Rather, it is an existence created by the forbidden power used by human beings. Liza decided that this taboo technology was too inhumane. When she asked Hank if he knew what the "Incarnate core" was made of, the true identity of Elaine who made Incarnates, and the person who prompted her to make Incarnates. but Hank didn't answer, he found that the place where is the Incarnate 's stabilization water tanks was placed was nearby.
After arriving at the room where Incarnate 's stabilization water tanks were installed, Hank found that the situation inside had become tragic after Elaine used explosives. When he saw a phantom that seemed to be Elaine, just as he turned to leave, he saw someone who looked like a girl. The figure pointed at something that surprised him. Schaal reminded Hank that there was something hidden in a water tank. When Hank wiped the dust from the water tank, he found a mangled corpse hidden inside. Liza lamented that the corpse had remained in its original state six years after École was abandoned. When Hank and his team went to confirm the true identity of the corpse, the corpse suddenly summoned the flying insects they had encountered before, and showed something unexpected, It’s the scene where Cain brings Elaine’s corpse to the destroyed École after the war.
When Hank watched Cain tell the dead Elaine that she had used explosives to blow up everything in the École but failed to deal with the aftermath, he questioned Cain's real intention of deliberately bringing Elaine's corpse into the École. When Hank saw Cain using his power to try to dig up Elaine's memories and was about to get rage, Cain felt something is on Elaine's body, and he taunted Elaine that her actions of destroying École during her lifetime were not just to monopolize the inheritance of anyone's inheritance of her skills, which was shocked Hank. Cain then used the Incarnate production technology he unearthed to revive Elaine's child. He told Elaine, who was placed in the naked body of Incarnate 's stabilization water tank, about her impatience, arrogance and some accidental factors during her lifetime, enough to allow her posthumous son to live in this world. Cain knew that Elaine was not the Incarnate, but her posthumous child was an Incarnate without an Incarnate core, not only the fate and a divine revelation, even was the usher in the era of the gods, so he named Elaine's posthumous child Miglieglia. Hank was surprised when he discovered that the girl named Miglieglia who had been staying in Cain was Elaine's posthumous child, but he knew that Elaine was not an Incarnate, but she was pregnant with someone's child without any reason. When Cain found the corpse that had been watching all this, he told the corpse that he would not listen to the corpse's request, but he asked the corpse to live if it had life and said if Hank came to École, he would show him what he saw everything and let him fulfill his want to do .
Hank and his party found a name tag on the water tank containing the corpses that read "Spector Twilight" to confirm his name. Spector used his ability to show multiple figures and explain the people and things he saw outside in the past and present all in time. He has been waiting for someone to help him realize his wish to be get out of here. Although Hank told Spector the consequences if they freed him, Spector said he didn't care about the consequences and just wanted them to end his life. When Hank picked up his gun and pointed it at Spector but felt a slight hesitation, Spector deliberately used his ability to summon insects to form a girl and help him shoot himself. The insects disappeared the moment Spector was shot. Hank fully understood that what Cain got from École was the manufacturing technology that Elaine used to create Incarnate. Even though Liza said that only Elaine knew the complete method of making Incarnate, Hank said that Cain's Incarnate ability should not be underestimated, once he can use his abilities to dig out fragments of knowledge on the corpse. Moreover, they already know the fact that Miglieglia's true identity , and they known she was a Incarnate without any core.
When Hank and his group were about to leave the center, Schaal found a door nearby. Hank reminded that there was a passage connected to the mine behind the door, but considering the danger inside and what they were watching, they decided not to continue exploring. Schaal was about to follow Hank and Liza, she felt a creepy feeling for some reason and became dizzy. When Liza stepped forward to help her, she said she felt something staring at her and asking her to enter the door. Hank was shocked by this and asked Schaal anxiously if she knew what was hidden in the door. Schaal said that she didn't know the true identity of the thing but felt a little bit of fear and uneasiness. Liza was busy explaining to Schaal that she maybe was watched too many things before, and Hank carried Schaal on his back and left École in a hurry. When Schaal mentioned that she heard a strange voice while in a deep coma, Hank asked Schaal to divert her attention. He suddenly recalled that Elaine had once explained to him that she followed the instructions of a voice called "The Voice of God" to created all the Incarnates. Later, after returning to the hotel and setting up Schaal, Hank told Liza that he remembered that Elaine said that she followed the "The Voice of God" to create Incarnate in before. At that time, he thought that Elaine was inspired by her research and suddenly It was whimsical and joking, but he always felt that all this series of events was not just a coincidence. He knew that God was not a thing that existed in the world, but he doubted whether there was such a God who could create them Incarnate, but also cause them to lose their humanity and reason. He also questioned whether the god who did not exist in the world could be in the mysterious mineral called Somnium.
When Hank was thinking about why Schaal listened to the "The Voice of God" like Elaine, Liza suddenly mentioned that she heard about a mysterious educational institution "The Church" that cultivates people with geniuses like Elaine and the purpose of its facilities. Hank explained that he had grown up in the church with Elaine and Cain, and had heard the question of whether they had listened to the "The Voice of God." That night, after Liza went back to Newfort to investigate the inside story of all the incidents, Hank stayed with Schaal alone until she woke up. Hank was relieved that Schaal had woken up and no longer heard the strange noises. He explained to Schaal what she had heard. When Schaal asked Hank what his previous relationship with Elaine and Cain was, Hank told how he met Elaine and Cain, his experience of becoming an Incarnate with Elaine's help, and their meeting again and leading the Incarnate troops to during the war. When they set off again the next day, Schaal asked Hank if he wanted to go to New Patria to find Cain. Hank said he had to find Cain's whereabouts because he knew only to stopping Cain would that him to end all everything.
