39F - Hell Train: The Name Hunt Station - Part 2
Short Summary
On one of the auctioneer ships that came to take part in the 39th Floor's festival auction, Jinsung goes over the situation wondering why Viole's come to Name Hunt Station. He also takes note of how there's going to be a special Viole vs. Endorsi event, but remains unconvinced that a small auction room is worthy enough for such a fight.
Meanwhile at the station's "Unnamed" lodge, Khun notes how loud the festival is, which Gramon explains is a one time thing due to all the unique events going on at this festival with Viole's appearance and such. Gramon theorizes that Kaiser's probably going for a public execution to keep everyone from realizing that she lost control over the no-names. Focusing on breaking into the festival, Khun figures that they should put on disguises, and asks what the entrances are. In return, Gramon explains that they ride one of the station's small transport platforms up to the two festival islands, and that there's three entrances into the festival's large auction island. Two of them being close to where the auction items are stored, which Gramon figures their captive companions are there. Thus, Gramon suggests sending two infiltration teams through these two entrances to be the hostage rescue teams. Khun agrees to it, and establishes Bam as the leader of a third group that goes after Kaiser.
An hour later, Bam's 3-man group going after Kaiser is seen dressed in new clothes, and are riding a transport platform up to the festival auction island. This group consisting of Bam, Khun, and Gramon. Khun notes how there's a lot of station Regulars going to the festival along with remaining confused as to how such a large auction island remained unseen this whole time. In return, Gramon explains how it's an invisible island that became visible for the festival as it was actually designed by the researchers of Workshop who placed many traps within it. Bam doesn't care having dealt with Workshop before, and just remains worried about the hostages. Khun reassures him that Kaiser won't mishandle hostages since she needs to have them in good shape to put up for auction, and that despite their rivalry, Team Shibisu agreed to help out since they all agree that the lives of Bam's captive companions comes first. Though, Team Shibisu makes it clear that they're still set to take part in the Viole vs. Endorsi event in order to save Endorsi's life.
At that same time, the two 4-man infiltration teams of Bam's group are seen arriving at the two auction island entrances that are close to the hostages. At the #1 entrance is the Hwaryun/Sachi/Boro/Nobic group arriving to begin the search using Hwaryun's Guide abilities. Meanwhile, Gramon's female partner is seen leading the Ran/Dan/Sia Sia members of Team Nobic through the #3 auction island entrance, which their path turns out to be a giant maze complex. Gramon's partner assures the group that the hostages are beyond one of the three islands' entrances, which they'll find the potential hostage room that's on their end once they've traversed the maze. The partner explaining that she knows the way since she attempted to save some friends beforehand that were about to be auctioned off, but wasn't able to make it in time. Thus, Gramon's partner desires revenge against Kaiser for auctioning off her friends. The group then begins their journey through the maze, which Inieta turns out to be the Boss having been stationed in the maze, which he notices the arrival of the of the Ran/Dan/Sia Sia group.
Somewhere within the auction island, a Team Shibisu 3-man team consisting of Shibisu/Hatz/Endorsi is also seen making their way in through a hidden #4 entrance. Vespa, Anaak, and Lauroe, were left stationed back at their station residence in case one of the Ten Bosses attack their home base. Shibisu remains worried about the hostages while Endorsi finds the whole scenario too complicated; believing that defeating Viole at the auction event will resolve everything. Tired of Endorsi's antics, Shibisu starts to question if he should have just teamed up Bam's group, which annoys Endorsi that Shibisu was thinking of ditching her. Shibisu also warns the group to watch out for Inieta, which Shibisu confirms that said Boss is on the move. The three of them decide to split up to cover more ground of the auction island. As Endorsi goes off on her own, she senses someone watching her. Sure enough, the twin Lo Po Bia Jahad Princess are seen tailing Endorsi.
Eventually, the Bam/Khun/Gramon team is seen arriving at the auction island's #2 main entrance. Khun notices many "Named" station Regulars walking around, which Gramon warns are all servants of the Ten Bosses that they may end of having to fight. Bam asks how to reach Kaiser, which Gramon explains that the path will reveal itself at the festival once one has gathered all the names of the Ten Bosses. Gramon also suggests that an insider may know a way to walk the path without the Boss names, which Khun agrees that one of the Ten Bosses probably knows. Moments after, the three of them come across one of the Ten Bosses, Yukan the Toxic Waste Human, stationed on auction island. Yukan remains pissed off over Inieta getting special treatment over him, and wants Viole brought to him, which he takes out his anger on one of his "Named" servants. Watching Yukan abuse his servant, Gramon warns that the former was the strongest Boss before Inieta took over. Thus they should avoid him. However, Bam approaches Yukan not liking what he's seeing, which Khun accepts making Yukan their target.
Standing before Yukan, Bam introduces himself as 25th Bam, and asks the station Boss if he knows the way to Kaiser's chamber. Bam also threatens to make Yukan stop abusing his servant, which Yukan finds laughable as if it's an insane joke. In return, Bam calls Yukan insane since the latter's seeking out someone as dangerous as Viole. Bam warning that Viole is angry at the moment due to his companions being taken captive, and having to deal with a station that turns people into slaves. A station led by people who brag about being the Kings of a small station when really, they're just pathetic nobodies no better than small toads in a pool. Bam figures that if there truly is a God of the Tower, it wouldn't like the people who lead Name Hunt Station. The slander pisses off Yukan, but before the Boss could act, Bam suddenly blasts him back with a shinsu Bang. Bam states that he's no god. That he makes mistakes, and that he doesn't know if he's always doing the right thing. However, Bam adds that he has the right to be angry with those who play with the lives of his companions, and that right now, he's really angry.
After getting blasted by Bam, Yukan of the Ten Bosses gets incredibly pissed off, and moves to kill Bam. As a result, all the surrounding "Named" Regulars start running away since Yukan's about to use his special toxic waste ability. Gramon explains to Bam and Khun how Yukan's toxic waste works where after eating the toxic waste that Name Hunt Station throws away, it's stored within Yukan's body, and becomes a deadly poisonous liquid. Yukan can then fire the toxic waste at people from the petal pipes attached to his back, which is strong enough to break through the strongest of defenses. Beginning his counterattack, Yukan fires his toxic waste at Bam and the surrounding Regulars. Bam dodges out of the way, but is left worried about the others getting caught up in the toxic waste, and orders Khun to protect them. Khun does so by putting up a Lighthouse barrier that's strong enough to shield everyone from being hit by the toxic waste. Bam then fires many shinsu Bangs at Yukan, but goes for his toxic waste pipes. To Yukan's disbelief, he ends up completely disarmed as Bam's shinsu Bangs manage to destroy all the pipes on Yukan's back.
During Yukan's confusion, Bam manages to get onto the former's back, and uses reverse flow control to freeze Yukan in place. Bam then puts his hand on Yukan's back to begin the name-stealing process, which Yukan can do nothing against due to being frozen. Yukan being left in disbelief that he's going to lose. After 10 seconds, the name-stealing finishes, and the result is Yukan becoming a servant to Viole, which shocks everyone as they now know that Bam is Viole the Slayer Candidate. The watching "Named" are all left stunned upon witnessing Yukan of the Ten Bosses lose, which the Boss begs master Viole for mercy to not take his name away; having not realized that he was facing the Slayer Candidate. Bam and Khun make it clear that they just want to know where the path to reach Kaiser's chamber island is, which Yukan claims he can't answer that. Khun then threatens to hand Yukan's stolen name over to some nearby "Named" Regular, which Yukan desperately doesn't want that, and is willing to talk. As a result, Yukan answers that the only one who knows the way to Kaiser is her most loyal servant: Alphine of the Ten Bosses. Meanwhile, Alphine's seen elsewhere in the festival being informed by a servant of the #2 entrance intruders.
At that same time, the Gramon's Partner/Ran/Dan/Sia Sia team is seen making their way through the #3 entrance maze to find the festival hostages. They arrive at a downward shaft that goes on forever, which they figure that the only safe option is to climb down its long ladder. Sia Sia then sees through her Lighthouse camera footage that another of her Lighthouses that she left in a different hallway has spotted Inieta coming towards them. The group starts to freak out knowing how dangerous Inieta is, which Ran announces that he will fight him in a 1-on-1 duel, but only because he doesn't want to deal with the maze ladder.
As Inieta moves along one of the #3 entrance maze hallways, he thinks about the competition hoping to get to fight someone again who's as strong as Rak. Ran then appears before him, which gets Inieta hyped that he's going to be fighting the "kid" from the Great Khun Family who beat Hesse. Annoyed at being called a kid, Ran eats his lightning pill to power-up, and is ready to fight.
Ran and Inieta stand opposite one another in the auction island's #3 entrance maze. Inieta tries to have some fun pre-fight chat only for Ran to tell him to get on with it. The result is both of them powering up, and launching their respective lighting and sword ignition blast attacks at one another, which their skills collide. The two of them proceed to engage in close-combat, which Inieta's amazed not only by Ran's speed, but that Ran's capable of blocking his sword swings with just his shinsu boosted hands. Seeing Ran's attacks speeding up, Inieta pulls out a sword move where slashes come at Ran from all directions, which looks like he's trapped Ran. This causes Ran to think back to a certain moment.
A flashback is seen back when a younger Ran is living with the Great Khun Family. His mother, Khun Maschenny (the mother of Princess Mashchenny Jahad, who's Ran's older sister), comes to visit him after hearing that Ran's been chosen to become a Regular that will be summoned into the inner Tower. The rest of the family doesn't find it surprising that Ran was picked as a Regular given Ran's Maschenny bloodline, which his mother gives him one bit of advice for his upcoming journey. That the main enemy Regulars to watch out for are those of the Great Arie Family due to their incredible swordsmanship. Thus, Khun Mashchenny states that the best way to fight an Arie member is to just tank their sword attack rather than waste time trying to understand it.
Back in the present, Inieta's caught off-guard as he suddenly realizes that Ran tanked his sword trap in order to land a powerful lightning spear directly on Inieta. Both are left injured after landing hits on one another, which given that Ran's body tanked his sword, Inieta realizes that he's dealing with a direct line member of the Great Khun Family. Inieta pulls out his bottle for the booze power-up only to be interrupted by another of Ran's lighting attacks. This pisses off Inieta claiming that he hates the attitudes that come with those in direct lines. He then manages to drink some of his booze, which increases his speed enough to duel Ran in close-combat again. Inieta then ignites his sword near Ran to cause an explosion, which the latter's unable to dodge out of the way. However, Dan and Sia Sia make it in time to rescue Ran by trapping the explosion within Sia Sia's Lighthouse field. Inieta's left confused as to where Dan and Sia Sia came from, which it turned out that Dan ran fast enough to race over to their location while carrying Sia Sia without Inieta ever sensing Dan coming towards them. A shocked Inieta's left wondering if this was their plan all along as Sia Sia releases her Lighthouse field to send the ignition explosion back upon him while Ran attacks again.
At that same time within the auction island's #2 entrance, Yukan's seen having guided the Bam/Khun/Gramon trio to the office of Alphine of the Ten Bosses. Khun having compressed Yukan down to small size to make sure their new Boss servant doesn't pull anything. Yukan tries to warn them not to go into Alphine's office since no one's ever come out after going in. However, Yukan's just putting on an act as he wants to see Alphine kill Bam's group within her office "playground." Upon entering the office, Alphine the Shadow Girl stands before them, and greets Bam and company. Bam makes it clear his goal to save his captive companions, and take Kaiser's name, and orders Alphine to tell him where the path to Kaiser's Grand Gallery chamber is. Alphine calls out Bam as impatient claiming that she can just make a single call to have someone kill the hostages, but Khun calls her out in return that not only is it not smart to damage hostages up for auction, but that it's obvious that Kaiser wants to take Viole's name, and put him up against Endorsi in the auction event to destroy them both. Khun also warns that they already have other infiltration teams looking for the hostages, which Hwaryun's seen leading her #1 entrance group through auction island.
Alphine remains confused as to why she should listen to them since Viole's not around. However, Bam approaches her to inform Alphine that he's Viole, which surprises her since Viole's known for his long hair. Bam having taken his wig off to hide his Viole identity in the festival. The revelation amuses Alphine as she never imagined a cute and harmless looking kid to be a FUG Slayer Candidate. Thus, she agrees to tell them how to reach Kaiser's island chamber on one condition, which shocks Yukan since his plan to have Bam's group killed has gone up in smoke. Alphine then states her condition, which is that Viole needs to prove that he can release Kaiser from her restraint that has binding her to Name Hunt Station for the past 1000 years.
Within the auction island's hidden #4 entrance, Endrosi's seen searching around on her own still irritated at how complicated everyone's made their situation. She then orders the person she can sense that's following her to finally come out of hiding, which Princess Lilial Jahad of the Lo Po Bia Family is seen trying to hide nearby.
Meanwhile at Alphine's #2 entrance office, Bam's group and Yukan remain confused by what she means by Kaiser being restrained to Name Hunt Station. Khun asks if it means that Kaiser's being ruled by someone, which Alphine explains that Name Hunt Station and the 39th Floor in general are ruled by the Great Lo Po Bia Family, and that Kaiser was a rising star genius who was born within said family. So much so that at just age 14, she was selected to become a Jahad Princess. Alphine goes over how the Lo Po Bia Head is known as a great Anima who controls many mystical beasts of the Tower, which his Great Family's made up of 20 branches symbolized by the 20 animals he commanded. One of such branch families is the Grey Wolf Family, which is the family Kaiser was born into. The Grey Wolf Family was one of the weaker Lo Po Bia Families, but gained fame and power after finding out that Kaiser was to be chosen as a Jahad Princess. Alphine also points out that she was in the Grey Wolf Family as an attendant who was tasked to watch over Kaiser and her development.
Alphine's story continues stating how everything about Kaiser was perfect to become a Jahad Princess. However, a certain incident happened that ruined it all. Alphine explains how there was a Lo Po Bia competition where children from the 20 branch families competed to see who comes out on top, and that Lo Po Bia was there to watch. However, a boy of incredible power from one of the branch families left such a big impression on Kaiser that she ended up falling in love with him, which is a problem as Jahad Princesses are not allowed to fall in love and start a relationship. Alphine notes her biggest regret was not keeping Kaiser and the boy apart, because she felt that stomping on Kaiser's heart would have been a cruel thing to do. The next thing that happened was Kaiser trying to run away with the boy. Kaiser aiming to tell her family that she would rather live a normal life in love than as a Jahad Princess. However, Alphine reveals how it was all a trap. That the boy was a set up, which he purposefully led Kaiser to guards of the Jahad Family and Lo Po Bia Family to have them witness that she had fallen in love. Thus, she ended up failing their hidden test to see if she was worthy of becoming a Jahad Princess.
As a result of Kaiser's failure, Jahad ended up not choosing her to be a Jahad Princess. This infuriated the head of the Great Lo Po Bia Family, which he decided to place a massive debt upon the Grey Wolf Family, which stripped them of their fame and power. Despite a regretful Kaiser trying to beg her family for forgiveness, the Grey Wolf Family rejected her to the point of now considering her their enemy. Kaiser was then sentenced to take part in a "Very Special Labor Punishment" in the Tower to pay off her family's debt. Eventually, Kaiser's summoned into the Tower, but not as a Jahad Princess. Given her genius skills, Kaiser easily climbed the Tower up to the 39th Floor, and she arrives at the location of her "Very Special Labor Punishment:" the Name Hunt Station. The station's Regulars started off lawless, but Kaiser easily took control, and became a masked warlord in order to set up its name-slave pyramid system that has lasted until today.
Alphine explains further that one day, she was chosen as a Regular, and decided to climb up to the 39th Floor's Name Hunt Station in order to be with Kaiser again. However, Kaiser at this point is now a cruel warlord who hides behind a mask, and cold-heartedly sells away the names of Regulars who get trapped at Name Hunt Station. Alphine points out that any money Kaiser makes is sent back to the Grey Wolf Family to reduce the debt. However, Alphine points out a new problem where after she checked the money payments, it turned out that the Grey Wolf Family's debt hasn't decreased at all. That the Grey Wolf Family has actually been wasting away and having fun with all the money Kaiser sends rather than using it to pay off the debt. Alphine revealing the overall problem that the Grey Wolf Family intends to keep Kaiser trapped at Name Hunt Station by never repaying the debt since they view Kaiser as their enemy for failing the Jahad Princess test. In the end though, Alphine states that Kaiser feels that her punishment is deserved. That she will keep sending the payments until the Grey Wolf Family finally forgives her for her failure.
With her story over, Alphine states once more that she will gladly tell Bam how to get to Kaiser's chamber if he's capable of freeing her from her restraint. However, she threatens to kill them with her Shadow Fox if they're unable to do so. Suddenly, a large fox is summoned up behind Bam, Khun, Gramon, and Yukan.
Back at Endorsi's location, Lilial agrees to come out of hiding and stands opposite the former. The two of them break out into a Princess argument, such as Endorsi being confused as to why Lilial's here when the latter's already climbed her way up to the 45th Floor. Lilial ignores all the whining claiming that she was planning to just watch the Endorsi vs. Kaiser fight unfold. However, the plan changed after finding out that Viole's come to the station. Lilial then charges at Endorsi, which they begin fighting in close-combat. Lilial brings up how noteworthy of a scoop it will be to tell the Lo Po Bia Family about a Jahad Princess having a relationship with a Slayer Candidate, but also points out that she has another idea in mind. She explains how she knows that Endorsi's planning to save her Princess status by defeating Slayer Candidate Viole during the station's special auction event. However, Lilial's decided to defeat Endorsi, and take her place to fight Viole at said event. That way, Lilial will gain even more fame by defeating a Slayer Candidate. In return, Endorsi just asks Lilial if she's lost her mind.
Within Alphine's office, Bam, Khun, Gramon, and Yukan are confronted by a large Shadow Fox covered in shadow shinsou. Alphine explains her Tower position as a Scout who's also an Anima, and that the Shadow Fox she controls stays close to her just like what she is to Kaiser. The Shadow Fox's shadow shinsu then connects to the shadows of Bam and company, which Alphine warns them that the Shadow Fox becomes invulnerable to attacks from those its shadow is connected to. The connection also allows the Shadow Fox to eat its targets' shinsu from their shadows, which results in the target's death once all the body shinsu's devoured. Despite her original goal being to just name-steal them, Alphine's decided to kill Bam's group since they were able to make it all the way to her office. Thus, she orders her Shadow Fox to attack.
Meanwhile at Endorsi's location, her close-combat Jahad Princess duel with Lilial continues. As they fight, Lilial orders Endorsi to spill the beans as to what her relationship with Viole is, but Endorsi suddenly teleports back using her Bong Bong fairy to break out of the fight for a bit. Endorsi remains confused as to why Lilial's trying to fight her when Endrosi can easily escape with her Bong Bong fairy, which Lilial admits that she's just fighting for her own pleasure. However, Lilial warns that herself and her twin sister have come up with a different idea, which is to go about stealing the names of Endorsi's companions. At that same time, the other Lo Po Bia Princess twin, Shilial Jahad, is seen having come across a lone Hatz within the festival auction island.
Back to Lilial, she explains the twins' plan while creating a large glowing ball of shinsu that she kicks at Endorsi. The plan being that Shilial's going to turn Endorsi's friends into slaves after stealing their names in order to make them reveal Endorsi's relationship while Lilial defeats Endorsi and Viole to bring fame to the Lo Po Bia Family while also threatening to tell the higher-ups about Endorsi and Viole's relationship. Dodging Lilial's shinsu ball, Endorsi once more just states that Lilial's crazy, which the latter thanks her for.
At Hatz location somewhere beyond the auction island's #4 entrance, Shilial properly introduces herself as a Jahad Princess of the Lo Po Bia Family. Claiming that she's Endorsi's older Princess sister, Shilial notices that Hatz is a swordsman upon seeing the swords attached to his belt, which she reveals that she also trained up a bit in swords as a hobby before growing bored of it. As a result, Shilial pulls out a sword from her Weapon Inventory, and challenges Hatz to a sword duel. Despite finding Shilial odd, Hatz pulls out a sword ready to sword duel.
Back at Alphine's office, Yukan remains confused as to why Alphine's Shadow Fox is also going for him when they're supposed to be station Boss allies. Alphine tells Yukan that it's because he's useless to Kaiser now since he's lost his name to Viole, and that she can't have him leave now that he knows Kaiser's secret. Meanwhile, Bam tests his shinsu Bangs on the Shadow Fox, which they have no effect due to the shadow connection rule as its body just regenerates from the damage it receives. Yukan tries to suck up to Alphine as if he likes her only for her to be grossed out, which her Shadow Fox proceeds to eat him up. As a result, Yukan ends up getting fully devoured and killed off. Khun can't help but feel that something about the whole Shadow Fox situation feels off, but upon looking over to where Alphine was standing, she's no longer there. Khun sees Alphine's Scout Observer, and realizes that they've been tricked as they were just seeing a hologram of Alphine made by her Observer this whole time.
Bam, Khun and Gramon remain trapped in Alphine's office with her Shadow Fox. Khun thinks over how confusing it is that the fox is still around despite Alphine now being out of range for her Anima beast-controlling abilites to work, which Animas would need a container box known as a Tank in the area to control their beasts from far away. As a result, Khun starts to wonder if the square office itself is the Tank that's keeping the Shadow Fox summoned, which he comes up with a new idea utilizing the odd power of Bam's Thorn. Khun explains the plan to turn one of his Lighthouses into another Tank, which is to use the Thorn's power to suck out the shinsu of the room to make the office interior dangerous to live in. The shinsu would then be put into the Lighthouse, which the Shadow Fox's animal instincts will kick in to run into the safety of the shinsu filled Lighthouse, which Khun will lock it in the new Tank container. They put the plan into action with Gramon and Khun's Lighthouse barrier holding back the Shadow Fox as Bam uses his Thorn to send all the room's shinsu into one of Khun's Lighthouses. Bam, Khun and Gramon then take shelter in another of Khun's Lighthouses as the Shadow Fox runs into the Lighthouse Tank, succeeding in trapping it.
Afterwards, the "Named" Regulars that Khun left stationed outside Alphine's office opens up the room for them, which allows for Bam, Khun, and Gramon to escape since the office door opening sends shinsu back in the room. The "Named" Regulars then inform them that they spotted Alphine running away nearby, which Bam's group chases after. At Alphine's location, she remains confident that everything on the station will remain as it is with her and Kaiser working to pay off the Grey Wolf Family debt, which she views as her own atonement for failing Kaiser in the past. However, she's left shocked in disbelief at the sight of Bam, Khun, and Gramon arriving before her. Khun shows her the Shadow Fox trapped in his Lighthouse while explaining to her the stunt they pulled to escape her office Tank. Alphine remains shocked not knowing what to say as Bam and Khun await her answer regarding the path to get from the festival's auction island to Kaiser's chamber island.
Refusing to betray Kaiser, Alphine turns her needle weapon on herself aiming to commit suicide to not give away the path to Kaiser's Grand Gallery chamber. However, Bam uses reverse flow control to freeze Alphine in place before she could kill herself. Bam then approaches Alphine while explaining that he never expected her to give away the path to the chamber, so he will just force it out of her. He also states that while he does feel bad about Kaiser's situation, it's not enough to justify all the crimes that they've done at Name Hunt Station. Thus, if he was to make a choice, he would rather destroy Name Hunt Station rather than help Kaiser. Bam also reminds her that Kaiser and company hurt his friends, so he will do what needs to be done to end the threat, but also warns Alphine that Kaiser's side has no one to blame but themselves if a tragedy on the station was to happen. With Alphine still frozen, Bam puts his hand on her back, and begins the 10 second name-stealing process.
At that same time in the Grand Gallery chamber, Kaiser is seen on her own waiting out the station festival. She thinks back to a moment after her failure to become a Jahad Princess where she approaches her mother; confused as to why the latter is being made to suffer for the former's mistake. Kaiser's mother blames her daughter for ruining everything despite her taking care of and training up her daughter to be chosen as a Jahad Princess. All because her daughter couldn't let a little love fling go. In return, Kaiser apologizes to her mother for the failure, and assures her mother that she will repay her for committing such a sin. Back in the present, Kaiser remains confused as to why memories of her past failure to become a Jahad Princess are returning. She gets a Pocket message from Alphine informing the former that she ended up losing to Viole, and that the Slayer Candidate's heading for the auction island escalator that connects the station's two festival islands. At that same time, the Bam/Khun/Gramon trio is seen making their way to the escalator thanks to the station's servant rules making Alphine give up the path.
The story jumps back a bit to after Bam had successfully stolen Alphine's name and made her his servant. Alphine's seen finishing up inputting the map to the escalator that connects the festival's auction island to Kaiser's chamber island into Khun's Lighthouse. She congratulates Bam for getting the better of her since he ordered her not to kill herself through the master-servant rule as she would have done so the moment he released the reverse flow control to keep the path to Kaiser hidden. Bam states that he figured Alphine's the type he knew would never give up the information willingly, and that he's never liked the sight of people dying, which Alphine accepts. Alphine adds that she and Kaiser will consider it destiny should Name Hunt Station fall here, but still figures nothing will change since it will be impossible for Bam to defeat Kaiser.
Returning to the present, the Bam/Khun/Gramon trio are still running towards the escalator. Bam questions what Alphine meant by the fight against Kaiser being impossible, which Khun figures that Kaiser still hasn't shown all her skills. Bam also questions if there's really no way to help Kaiser since she's just been doing everything for the sake of her Grey Wolf Family, which Khun finds pointless to think about since Kaiser's weak mind to be used by others has left her trapped on the station for 1000 years.
Eventually, they arrive at the escalator that goes up to Kaiser's chamber island only to be met by Shibisu blocking the way, which he's holding a shinsu bomb in his hand. Shibisu explains that he managed to get here thanks to his amazing Scout abilities exploring around, and would have told Bam's group had the rivalry not happened. Bam's group gets the gist that Shibisu's planning to blow up the escalator with his shinsu bomb since he needs Bam to attend the auction event to fight Endorsi over their names. He also informs them that Endorsi and Hatz are good people who are currently fighting the twin Lo Po Bia Princesses, which has put him in a weird position; calling out Bam's group for ditching Endorsi despite her being a good person. Shibisu gives Bam's group a chance as to how they should resolve this, which Khun orders Bam to freeze the shinsu bomb. However, Shibisu reminds them that shinsu bombs are items that can't be frozen by reverse flow control. Shibisu then goes through with it, and throws his shinsu bomb, which destroys the escalator. With the path to Kaiser's chamber gone, Shibisu asks how Bam's group plans to resolve this.
Meanwhile, the sword duel between Hatz and Shilial continues. Shilial's left impressed that Hatz is managing to keep up against a Jahad Princess, which Hatz finds to be biased. He calls out Shilial for being prejudiced unlike Endorsi as his current sword starts to give out and crack. Shilial makes it clear that she doesn't actually hate Endorsi, but finds it a problem that she's not acting like how a Jahad Princess should when she's decided to climb the Tower with Anaak (a Fake Jahad Princess that the Tower wants dead), fell for their simple provocation that resulted in Endorsi losing her name at Name Hunt Station, and has even started a relationship with a terrorist organization's Slayer Candidate. Shilial points out that it would be better for Endorsi as a Jahad Princess to ditch Anaak and Viole, which even though Hatz agrees that to be the case, and that it might be destined one way for Endorsi to fight Viole, he chooses to remain at their side because they're all friends. Hatz then pulls out a new sword that shoves off incredible shinsu power while claiming that he would rather fight destiny over his friends.
At that same time within the Grand Gallery chamber, Kaiser thinks over the situation after seeing Alphine's Pocket message about Viole heading for the escalator. Kaiser believes that Viole is as-good-as-dead since the escalator's actually a trap path. That there's actually a bomb planted half-way up the escalator the will kill any intruder. Kaiser thinks over how the true path to her chamber island is actually a hidden special small transport platform similar to the ones used to travel around the station that only works if the chamber's location is inputted into the transport. Believing that Viole's threat will be gone once he dies to the escalator bomb, Kaiser's left wondering if stealing away Endorsi's name will be enough to get her back into the Grey Wolf Family. She wonders how much longer she will remain stuck at Name Hunt Station as the Bam/Khun/Gramon trio suddenly bursts into the chamber room from behind her; having found the transport to ride it up to the chamber island. Bam's back to wearing his Viole wig as he announces that he's here to take Kaiser's name, which the latter's left stunned as to how Viole made it here.
Back at the escalator, Shibisu remains on his own hoping that Bam and Khun don't mess things up against Kaiser. Thus, implying that Shibisu found out about the escalator shinsu bomb beforehand, and blew it up to protect Bam's group from falling into the trap. In addition, it's also implied that Shibisu told them about the real transport platform that goes up to the chamber island.
Within the station's Grand Gallery chamber, Bam remains standing behind Kaiser after he, Khun, and Gramon burst in through the wall. Kaiser remains confused as to how Viole's group managed to avoid the escalator bomb, which Khun informs her of Shibisu having figured everything out beforehand through his Scout exploration, and revealed to them the secret transport platform that goes between the festival's auction island and Kaiser's chamber island. Khun then taunts Kaiser to accept fate that she's about to lose her name after guarding Name Hunt Station for the past 1000 years, which Kaiser finds to be a joke having realized that Alphine told them her tragic Grey Wolf Family backstory. She orders Viole and company to not show sympathy for her since she knows full-well the horrible things she's done on the station. Claiming herself to be the station's "Peak of Evil," Kaiser readies herself for the duel, but also warns Viole that he'll be in trouble if he doesn't fight her at full-force. Before beginning their fight, Bam asks for Kaiser to make him a promise when he wins.
At that same time, Lulu of the Ten Bosses is seen standing guard as a Light-Bearer next to the hostage container at its hidden auction island location. Lulu remains bored just sitting around doing nothing, which he thinks over how they've won since the hostage container has been placed at a new hiding spot rather than where they usually put the auction items. Thus, Bam's two infiltration teams should be running into dead-ends. However, it comes as a shock to Lulu when he sees that his second Lighthouse placed elsewhere has spotted the Hwaryun/Nobic/Sachi/Boro infiltration team closing in on the hostage container's location. As it turns out, they know where to go thanks to Hwaryun guiding them down the true path with her Tower Guide abilities.
The Hwaryun/Nobic/Sachi/Boro infiltration team enters into a room where it turns out that Hesse's brother, J.M, is seen stationed there to block the path towards the hostage container. J.M. claims to be out for revenge against the current station intruders for killing his brother after all the two brothers have done building up a life as a Boss of the station, which he powers up his steel-transforming ability to become a steel-human ready for a fight. He goes after Nobic first with a body-spinning attack like a steel top that bashes into the latter. However, Nobic comes out of the attack unharmed, and proceeds to destroy J.M. with a barrage of Ha-Style Red Spirit Punches. The infiltration team then proceeds to move on, and eventually arrive at the hostage container room.
Within the hostage container room, the Hwaryun/Nobic/Sachi/Boro infiltration team find Lulu standing next to the container. Lulu questions how they found the hostage container's new hidden location, and assumes that there was a traitor amongst the Ten Bosses that spilled the beans. However, he's informed that it's thanks to Hwaryun's Guide abilities showing them the way. Lulu then casts out a bubble attack at them only to have it blocked by Sachi's thorn vines, which Lulu understands that despite being one of the station Bosses, he's not strong enough to take on Sachi of the top-3 D-rankers. Placing his hand on the hostage container, Lulu threatens to fill it with his water shinsu ability by turning the oxygen within it into water to drown the hostages within it if the infiltration team gets any closer. Lulu also reminds them that they can't break into the container anyway since it's a strong object crafted by Workshop, and that it's been locked tight by station Boss Variel Vani having placed a seal on it, which only Variel holds the special key to open the seal.
Lulu further taunts that they'll never find Variel since he's hidden himself somewhere on auction island. However, Hwaryun suddenly pulls out the gold key to unlock the seal, which shocks Lulu as to how they've managed to obtain it when not only is Variel so good at hiding his room, his hidden room can't be broken into since he seals it from the inside while hiding within it. In return, Hwaryun admits that while such a room sounds interesting, her Guide abilities will always find the right path. That no matter what, nothing can stay hidden or locked from her as she will always see a path to get around these roadblocks. Meanwhile, Variel of the Ten Bosses and his servants are all seen in their hidden room having already been found and defeated by the Hwaryun/Nobic/Sachi/Boro infiltration team. Lulu remains at a lost for words, which Hwaryun taunts him that she knows that he has no choice but to step aside.
Back to the Grand Gallery chamber, Kaiser remains confused as to what Bam's aiming for after hearing what he wishes for her to do should he win their duel. However, she agrees to make the promise. Bam thanks her for making the promise, which Kaiser finds unnecessary since she doesn't plan to lose. It's at this point that Khun gets a message on his Lighthouse from Hwaryun informing him that the hostages, Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa, have been rescued, which her message also asks for Bam to keep his promise. Khun passes on the message to Bam, much to his relief that he doesn't have to worry about the hostages, but also shocks Kaiser that the hostages have already been rescued (not knowing about Hwaryun being a Guide). Knowing that he can now just focus on the duel, Bam powers up his Thorn ready to fight while claiming that he has a lot riding on the duel. Kaiser says the same, and stands ready to fight.
Within the Grand Gallery, Khun and Gramon remain on the sidelines as the duel between Bam and Kaiser's about to begin. Khun things over that the match is about even given that Kaiser's considered strong enough to be a Jahad Princess while Bam has the power of the Thorn and the power from the billion souls. Thus, he figures that what will decide it is the abilities that Kaiser has yet to reveal. Starting the duel, Bam charges forward right away with a close-combat Jinsung Ha Wave Explosion: Crimson Wave. Kaiser tries to block it with her Armor Inventory, but thanks to Crimson Wave being powered up by the Thorn, Bam easily breaks through the Armor Inventory's barrier. Bam then engages in close-combat martial arts with Kaiser, and then uses Hansung Yu Shinsu Control: Dragon's Breath to send a barrage of shinsu Bangs at Kaiser. Kaiser manages to block it with her Armor Inventory, but she's forced to admit that Viole's proving himself to have been trained up to the best of his capabilities by teachers within FUG. She figures that Viole is a rough gem that FUG is refining into something great.
Stalling mid-battle, Bam takes the moment to question Kaiser why she's gone the route of trapping herself on the 39th Floor's Name Hunt Station. Bam noting that she's clearly got the skills to just ditch her Grey Wolf Family, and climb the Tower to become a powerful Ranker, which Bam questions why she's doing this for a family that doesn't care about her. In return, Kaiser finds it surprising that Bam's not like other Slayer Candidates, and agrees to talk. Kaiser explains how as she was growing up, the Grey Wolf Family gave her a lot of love and appreciation. However, she took her family's love for granted since they weren't just supporting her out of just being a family, but because compared to the other loser children, she was a special person as the Grey Wolf Family's rising star. Thus, she overlooked that she had a lot of responsibility to live up to her family as the one that was special. Kaiser points out that this is no different for Viole since he has FUG needing him to live up to his status as their newest Slayer Candidate. She then readies her Invisible Weapon Inventory while claiming that people who don't pay the price for ignoring the love they've received can't be considered human.
The duel resumes with Kaiser shooting out many invisible weapons on strings that are connected to her Invisible Weapon Inventory. Despite not being able to see them, Bam's shinsu senses are strong enough to notice where they are, and goes about dodging the invisible weapons by zooming around on his Blue Oar transport platform. While continuing her attack, Kaiser makes it clear that she will continue to defend Name Hunt Station until her Grey Wolf Family finally forgives her. That even though it's been 1000 years, the place suits her as punishment for never realizing that she was living a great carefree life as a kid who never realized that she had a great responsibility to those beneath her. As a result, she's satisfied with continuing to act as a Fake Emperor of a train station if it means that her family that she should have been watching out for gets to live a life of luxury with the station money she sends back to them. All in the hopes that one day, the Grey Wolf Family finally forgives her. As Bam continues to dodge the invisible weapons, he remains on the defensive seeing no opportunity to counter other than one opening directly at Kaiser. He can tell it's an obvious trap he's setting for her, and doesn't take it. Kaiser notices that he's not taking the bait, and instead casts out one of her trump cards that she's been hiding this whole time.
At that same time within the maze area of auction island, Inieta's left in a rough state after Sia Sia's Lighthouse trap caused him to be hit by his own sword ignition blast. He whines about Ran cheating when it's supposed to be a 1-on-1 fight only for Ran to remind him that such a rule was never the case. Sia Sia then gets a message from Hwaryun's infiltration team regarding the latter's side having found the hostages. Thus, Sia Sia informs her infiltration team that they're wasting time since their area turned out to be a dead end. Seeing that Inieta's strong enough to still be standing against them, Dan questions the former how someone of the Great Arie Family ended up losing to Kaiser. In return, Inieta explains how she's already strong from how the station rules favor her, to the great pieces of gear that her family provided her, and even just the fact that she's talented and has experience. However, Inieta points out that the real reason he lost was because of her two hidden trump card abilities. One of which is Kaiser having the Anima Tower position that allows her to control animals.
Back at the Grand Gallery, Kaiser finally relies on her Anima position by ordering her pet, Fenryl, to come out. A large wolf suddenly appears next to Bam, much to the confusion of Bam and his companions as to where it came from. Kaiser then orders Fenryl to attack. At the maze area, Inieta explains to Ran, Sia Sia and Dan that Kaiser's wolf pet, Fenryl, is a special animal that doesn't need an Anima Tank as it's actually some sort of spirit. A wolf spirit that he assumes must be a special case that gets passed down in the Grey Wolf Family, and that not even Lighthouses can see it. Overall, Inieta warns that the duel is lost the moment Fenryl bites into its opponent. Meanwhile, Fenryl is seen having bitten down on Bam's left arm, which Kaiser figures that the duel's now over.
The Grand Gallery duel between Bam and Kaiser continues. Bam fires a shinsu Bang at Fenryl to get the spirit wolf off his arm only for it to disappear before the Bang lands. Seeing that Bam's arm has been left a bloody mess, Khun finds it hard to believe that Kaiser's spirit wolf pet has a bite strong enough to tear into Bam's body when the latter's capable of reinforcing his body with shinsu. Kaiser notes how surprisingly sturdy Viole's body is as her Fenryl spirit wolf reappears at her side. Seeing Bam's confusion as to what Fenryl is, Kaiser explains how it's a special ability passed down in the Lo Po Bia's Grey Wolf Family, which having control of a spirit wolf has made her a special type of Anima Regular. That it's thanks to being a special Anima with control over a spirit wolf that she was once nominated to be a Jahad Princess. Kaiser then warns Bam that Fenryl's bite is strong enough to damage the skin of Rankers, and that it's got a special ability where its teeth marks can't be healed unless Kaiser does the healing, or Kaiser dies. As a result, Bam will forever bleed out from his left arm that Fenryl bite into.
The watching Gramon gets the gist of how Kaiser's beaten her past enemies where she brings out Fenryl to bite her opponents, and then have them bleed out until they fall unconscious from blood loss. Thus, he figures that the same thing will happen to Viole now that his arm's been bitten. Gramon also warns of how he heard rumors that Kaiser has at least two trump cards, but can't remember the second one, which Khun gets annoyed at how useless Gramon is turning out to be. Kaiser then warns Viole that the latter is now on a time limit as he will not only have to deal with her invisible weapons and Fenryl, but also now has to worry about falling unconscious from blood loss. The duel resumes with Bam once more on the defensive. Not only having to constantly dodge Kaiser's invisible weapons that shoot off from her Invisible Weapon Inventory, but having to dodge Fenryl attempting to bite him as well. He relies on Hansung Yu Shinsu Control: Triple Dragon shinsu Bangs to hold Fenryl back while constantly having to dodge the invisible weapons, which Bam still sees no opening to counter. He once more sees the obvious trap opening directly towards Kaiser that she's leaving open for him to charge into, which Bam admits that it's his only option.
Back at the auction island maze, Ran asks the heavily injured Inieta what Kaiser's second trump card is. However, Inieta refuses to talk since he's already given away one of the trump cards for free. Inieta then calls out to Gramon's partner having sensed her sneaking up on him to finish the job, which he claims that he would rather go down with a good fight. He asks if Ran's willing to go along with it, which Ran accepts. Despite Ran still being powered up with a lightning pill, he forms a new one in his hand. His plan being to eat a lightning pill on top of his already active one for a further power boost despite the obvious backlash it will do to his body afterwards. Bam eats his second lightning pill, and powers up even further, which Inieta stands up hyped that Ran's giving him one last good battle. The two of them charge at one another with Ran striking at Inieta with a Maschenny-Style Lightning Spear: Gran Espada Del La Luz while Inieta swings his ignited ignition sword. In the end, Ran ends up getting stabbed in the side, but the Gran Espada Del La Luz lightning spear deals the final fatal blow to Inieta.
The dying Inieta falls off from the festival auction island while he lets go of the ignition sword that he stole from Danhwa. Sia Sia catches the exhausted Ran and Danhwa's ignition sword with her Lighthouse field to keep them from falling off the station with Inieta. As he falls, Inieta thinks back to the moment that he lost to Kaiser and had his name stolen. Kaiser tells Inieta that she's going to put his name up for auction since it will catch a good price being a name from the Great Arie-Family. However, Inieta informs her that she won't get as much money as she thinks since he's just a side member, and not one of Arie-Family's direct descendants. Shown by the fact that he's brown-skinned compared to direct descendants having pale white skin. As a result, Kaiser states that his skills are too good to waste, which she will make Inieta one of her station's Ten Bosses until the day comes that the Great Arie-Family buys him back. Kaiser adding that she would gladly spend any price if Inieta was from her family. Back in the present, Inieta's last thoughts have him hoping that Kaiser doesn't die since she was the only person who saw Inieta's true self. Inieta then passes away due to his injuries.
Bam's duel with Kaiser continues within the Grand Gallery with Khun and Gramon watching from the sideline. With time running out before he falls unconscious from the blood loss of Fenrir's arm bite, Bam charges towards Kaiser through the obvious trap opening that she's been wanting to bait him into. Gramon finally remembers that Kaiser's second trump card is a teleportation skill that allows her to switch places with her pet, but before Bam could be warned in time, Kaiser activates the teleportation moments before Bam hits her with a close-combat strike. The result is Fenrir switching places with Kaiser to allow her to get behind Bam, which she then ties Bam up with the strings from her Invisible Weapon Inventory, and places her hand on his back to begin the name-stealing countdown.
To break himself out of being tied up by Kaiser's strings, Bam calls upon the billion souls he absorbed for a power boost, and manages to shake himself out. As he goes for a counter-kick on Kaiser however, she once more activates her teleportation swap, which Fenryl once more appears before Bam, and manages to bite into his leg. Bam blasts Kaiser away from him with a few shinsu Bangs, but his blood loss speeds up due to now having two Fenryl bites on his arm and leg that can't be healed. Bam and Kaiser once more stand opposite one another, which Kaiser explains that it's her teleportation skill that allowed her to take Endorsi by surprise and defeat the latter. The battle then resumes with Bam once more flying around on his Blue Oar platform avoiding her invisible weapons and bite attempts from her Fenryl wolf. Kaiser believing that she's won as Viole has no choice but to continue charging into her obvious trap path that she's been baiting him into.
While Khun continues to watch from the sideline, he finds it odd that despite how much it looks like Kaiser has Bam on the backfoot, he doesn't sense any doubt in Bam possibly losing. The reason being that Khun can't help but feel that Kaiser lacks something compared to monsters like Bam and Hoaqin. Meanwhile, Bam continues to fly around on his Blue Oar platform trapped in the never-ending path of having to constantly dodge Fenryl and Kaiser's invisible stringed weapons that are shot off from her Invisible Weapon Inventory. His vision finally begins to blur due to starting to fall unconscious from massive blood loss. However, Bam can't help but get the sense that the blood loss has increased his focus to the point of not being able to be hit. Sure enough, he starts to better sense and dodge Kaiser's invisible weapons to the point of being able to counterattack by shooting a few shinsu Bangs directly at her. Though she blocked the shinsu Bangs with her Armor Inventory, Kaiser remains bewildered as to how Bam's starting to make his own paths through her trap. As Bam continues to dodge Kaiser's invisible weapons, he starts to realize that his focus has gotten to the point where he can see invisible objects.
Despite Kaiser's weapons remaining invisible, Bam's focus has gotten to the point where he can see the shinsu that makes up the air of the room, which he can see the image of the invisible weapons as they move and cut through the air of the room. Bam wonders if he's just imagining things, but decides to test it out, and sticks out his hand towards a spot that he believes is an invisible weapon passing through the shinsu by him. The sight of Bam aiming to grab one of the invisible weapons surprises everyone, but sure enough, Bam manages to grab hold of it and stops its movement. Khun theorizes that what he's seeing Bam pull off is a result of the change he had gone through within the Rice Pot as Kaiser can only admit at this point that Viole's the most talented enemy she's ever fought after witnessing him catch one of her invisible weapons. As Kaiser watches Bam continue to dodge her invisible weapons, she starts to become frustrated; realizing that FUG hasn't just been polishing another of many gemstones, but that they've been raising a unique monster who appears to be blessed by the power of shinsu. Feeling that he's opened things up enough to not fall into Kaiser's obvious trap path anymore, Bam charges towards her.
At that same time on auction island, the sword duel between Hatz and Shilial continues. Shilial's sword ends up breaking after being hit by an ignition blast that was shot off from the new powerful sword that Hatz pulled out, which appears to already be ignited. Shilial questions what his sword is, which Hatz explains how it's an ignition weapon called Donghae that he doesn't use often as it's still difficult for him to wield. He then warns Shilial that despite how Donghae already looks ignited, the sword hasn't actually been ignited yet.
The auction island duel between Hatz and Shilial remains stalled due to the latter not knowing what to make of the former's Donghae ignition sword. Shilial finds Hatz's claim that his Donghae sword isn't actually ignited yet impossible to believe due to the immense power that it's already giving off when Hatz is just a lowly D-rank Regular who shouldn't be capable of wielding such power. Hatz wishes for Shilial to retreat as he still can't fully control Donghae, but remains prepared to go through with using it. Before their duel resumes however, Shibisu arrives, and orders them to stop fighting. Shibisu calls out Shilial knowing that the latter's a Jahad Princess, and informs her that their plan to defeat Viole is lost since said Slayer Candidate is already at the Grand Gallery, and will eventually defeat Kaiser. He also warns Shilial that if the two of them don't retreat, rumors might spread that the Lo Po Bia Princesses actually helped Viole on Name Hunt Station.
Shilial plays dumb regarding having a sister, but Shibisu calls her out knowing that her and Lilial are the twin Lo Po Bia Family Jahad Princesses who are taking part in the Princess Competition that's been heating up on the higher Tower floors. Shibisu states his theory to Shilial his belief that the Lo Po Bia twins must have allied with another Jahad Princess in the competition, and that their plan of using Kaiser to dispose of Endorsi at Name Hunt Station was Shilial and Lilial's attempt to forge the princess alliance by bringing Endorsi to said princess as a tribute. Possibly even force Endorsi into allying with them. However, Shibisu remains stumped if the Jahad Princess that said twins teamed up with was either Princess Arie Rose or Princess Hendo Lok Gladmerry. In return, Shilial's impressed by Shibisu's detective work as he got most of it right. However, she points out the one error Shibisu made, which is that the Jahad Princess the twins allied with is a completely different one. Shilial then proceeds to reveal to Shibisu the name of the unknown princess.
Meanwhile, the duel between Bam and Kaiser continues on Grand Gallery island. Bam charges toward Kaiser since he was able to make an opening after disposing of one of her invisible weapons. Kaiser counters by increasing the speed of her stringed invisible weapons. However, Bam's still able to see the invisible weapons despite the increased speed. He then manages to grab hold of another invisible weapon, and throws it back at Kaiser, which she blocks it with her Armor Inventory. Due to her invisible weapons no longer having any affect, Kaiser figures that she needs to change tactics again, and uses her Kaiser-Style Reel Skill: Tying Twenty Threads technique to try to quickly tie up Bam with her remaining stringed invisible weapons. However, nothing has any affect as Bam zooms around on his Blue Oar platform, and manages to grab hold of and break every single one of her invisible weapons. With her invisible weapons gone, Bam charges once more at Kaiser, and engages in close-combat with her.
While fighting in close-combat, Bam questions Kaiser if she really believes that her Grey Wolf family will take notice of what she's been doing for them on Name Hunt Station. He then calls Kaiser out that everything she's been saying has just been excuses, and that if she really wanted to accomplish anything, then she should have changed her methods so that the Grey Wolf family isn't involved in doing something so disgraceful like running a slave pyramid. Kaiser than shows off that she's got some skill in swordsmanship by pulling out her sword to try to strike Bam with it. As they continue to fight, Kaiser states that she doesn't care what her role is as long as it means that she can continue to be of use to the Grey Wolf family that she betrayed. That she's thrown away the old her who didn't understand the high position she had to uphold, and that the current her remains determined to continue her work at Name Hunt Station until her family has finally forgiven her. Eventually, Fenryl reappears and manages to bite Bam's arm again. This provides an opening for Kaiser to perform the teleport switch with Fenryl to try to stab Bam while claiming that her work to get the Grey Wolf Family to forgive her is the only reason that she continues to live on.
Bam then relies on the power of the billion souls to dodge Kaiser's sword stab in time, and is able to quickly grab hold of her arm to keep her from performing another teleport switch. With Kaiser in his grasp, Bam states his determination to free her from needing to help the Grey Wolf Family when she's now at a point where she doesn't even have a name or face anymore. He then performs the Ha Jinsung-Type: Extreme Flare Wave Explosion upon Kaiser, which results in her being stuck by a massive Flare Wave Explosion that can be seen by everyone around Name Hunt Station. The duel finally concludes with Kaiser lying on the floor defeated, and her torso bloodied from where she was hit by the Flare Wave Explosion. Kaiser accepts this as the end for her as Bam stands over her body. He asks if Kaiser remembers all the names of the Grey Wolf Family that she's desperately trying to protect, which she answers that she does given she's always missed them. Bam then asks if Kaiser remembers her own name from before she became the station's warlord, which Kaiser thinks it over, and admits that she can't remember her own name.
The defeated Kaiser remains lying on the floor of the Grand Gallery after being hit by Bam's Extreme Flare Wave Explosion. Kaiser realizing the irony that she's been stealing names, but can't even remember her own name. Kaiser questions what Bam plans to do with her since stealing away her name, or having FUG take over Name Hunt Station, isn't going to resolve the Jahad Family taking away Endorsi's Princess status once word gets out that she lost her name, and wasn't able to reclaim it herself. In return, Bam answers that he's instead going to buy Kaiser's name in the auction, which confuses Kaiser.
Bam and Khun explains that using funds from FUG, Bam aims to free Kaiser from Name Hunt Station by paying off all of the Grey Wolf Family's debt that is owed to the Lo Po Bia Family. Khun adding that in return for being freed, Kaiser will have to hand back Endorsi's name, and make it seem like Endorsi was the one who won their duel. Thus, Endorsi's honor will still look to be intact to those outside the station. Kaiser questions why Bam would go this far for her, which Bam provides two reasons. That he knows that Kaiser would never give up Endorsi's name for anything other than true freedom, and that he desires to see Kaiser's live as her true self away from the binds of her family. He asks for Elaine Lo Po Bia to do this, which shocks Kaiser that Bam found out her true name that she had long forgotten.
Meanwhile on auction island, Shilial remains at a standoff against Shibisu and Hatz. Before anything happens next, Shilial suddenly gets a Pocket message from Kaiser. The station warlord informing Shilial that the former lost against Viole, and that her actions at Name Hunt Station have come to an end since her debt's about to be paid off. Shilial's left frustrated by the weird turn of events, and decides she's had enough of Name Hunt Station. As she leaves, Shibisu calls out to her. He asks if the actual Jahad Princess she and Lilial claim to have teamed up with is the truth since he finds it hard to believe that a High Ranker Princess would team up with the Lo Po Bia twins when they're still just lowly Regulars. Shilial assures him that it's the truth, and that they're going to be meeting with Maria too, which surprises Shibisu hearing that Khun's sister that he made a Jahad Princess before being summoned into the inner Tower is somehow involved. Shilial then gives off one final warning to Hatz regarding their unfinished duel, and then leaves.
Elsewhere on auction island, the same happens at Lilial and Endorsi's location where Lilial suddenly leaves after getting word on her Pocket about Kaiser's loss. Endorsi realizes that the retreat was due to Bam succeeding in beating Kaiser, which she's left worrying about what will happen to her since she failed to get her name back.
At that same time, the Bam/Khun/Gramon group departs from the Grand Gallery. Despite Fenryr's bites being healed as a result of Kaiser's loss, the exhausted Bam is forced to rest atop one of Khun's Lighthouses as they move. Khun then asks if Gramon's okay with this given that the latter wanted revenge against Kaiser. However, Gramon answers that he's okay with going along with Viole's decision since Gramon understands why Kaiser did what she did, and would rather see Kaiser return to her life as Elaine. Endrosi, Shibisu, and Hatz then suddenly appear before them having zoomed over to their location using the Bong Bong fairy. She starts to wrestle with Bam to make him hand her Kaiser's name. Despite Bam making it clear to Endorsi that a deal has been made to make it look like she was the winner against Kaiser, which would save the honor of her Jahad Princess status, Endrosi stubbornly continues to wrestle.
Shortly after, Shibisu and Hatz catch up with Bam's group. Shibisu gets the gist that Bam's group pulled it off, which Khun admits they did, but is disappointed that they had to rely on FUG, who's going through with buying Kaiser knowing it will please their Slayer Candidate. Elsewhere at the hostage container, Hwa Ryun's rescue team has freed Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa. Hwa Ryun's seen informing Jinsung on her Pocket about their success at Name Hunt Station, and asks that he go through with Kaiser's payment at tomorrow's station auction. Back to Bam's group, Shibisu informs Khun about the Lo Po Bia Jahad Princess twins' involvement in helping Kaiser, and that before they left, Shilial revealed something to him that's hard to believe. That the twin Princesses have teamed up with the High Ranker Jahad Princess, Khun Maschenny. Khun finds that hard to believe, which Shibisu explains how the Jahad Princess competition has been heating up on the higher Tower Floors, which Shibisu figures that Khun Maschenny must have a reason to get involved in a competition between Regular Jahad Princesses. Shibisu also reveals to Khun about Princess Maria Jahad having also teamed up with Shilial, Lilial, and Maschenny, which shocks Khun.
The next day on auction island, the Name Hunt Station's festival auction is about to begin. Many of the station's Regulars, such as Bam's group, along with the Ranker bidders, arrive within the Festival Hall to watch the auction. One of which is Jinsung. In the auction's waiting room, Kaiser remains on standby until it's time for her to head out. She thinks back to the moment when Bam called her as Elaine; asking how he found out. Bam explains how he ordered Alphine as her name-owner to explain who Kaiser is, which Alphine revealed Kaiser's name, and that Elaine was once a happy girl in the past. Thus, Bam asks for Kaiser to show off her true self at tomorrow's auction believing that it will stun everyone. In the present, the auction begins, which has Kaiser heading out into the Festival Hall. Her Kaiser mask being left behind in the waiting room. As Kaiser appears as the auction item to be bid on, Bam and company all get a good look at the real face of Elaine, who appears as a beautiful woman.
As Elaine enters the Festival Hall as the auction item, all the spectators watching remain confused given that the special auction event was supposed to be Viole vs. Endorsi. The watching Jinsung gets the gist that Elaine's the item to bid on that Hwaryun informed him about, which he notes that the Lo Po Bia Family abandoned quite a beautiful and talented individual. As Kaiser enters the middle of the Festival Hall, the announcement is made to inform everyone that the item to bid on is Elaine of the Lo Po Bia Family, which sparks people's interest as they realize that she's from one of the Ten Great Families. Elaine then proceeds to show off to the bidders use control over her Invisible Weapon Inventory. As her inventory weapons fly around, Kaiser thinks over how it's time to let her mother and father go. She then shows off her swordsmanship skills, which all the spectators are left impressed that a D-rank Regular has such skills. Amongst the bidders is the Ha Family Ranker, Ruda, who remains confused as to what's going on. Ruda thinks over how he's been ordered by Princess Yuri to bid on Viole, who's nowhere in sight.
Meanwhile from their auction viewing area, Bam's group watches Elaine in amazement as she shows off her skills to the bidders. The group agrees that it makes sense as to why Elaine was once a Jahad Princess candidate, which even the stubborn Endorsi admits that Elaine was wasted. As Elaine continues to show off her skills, she thinks about her past. She thinks about her mother and father, and how she was wrong about them. That it wasn't her parents supporting her back then, but that it was Elaine supporting her parents. Thus, Elaine has realized that she had become trapped since she couldn't let go of her parents who needed the support. Once Elaine has wrapped up showing off her skills in the auction, she says goodbye in her mind to her parents and past self as it's time to finally move on.
Amongst the bidders, all the watching Rankers get hyped up to bid on Elaine. However, a masked Ranker from the Lo Po Bia Family named Porp warns everyone not to bid on Elaine as she's currently working to pay off a debt to the family. Thus, Porp announces that Elaine will remain with the Lo Po Bia Family. However, Ruda isn't threatened by Porp's warning, which Ruda announces that he will gladly bid on Elaine. Ruda thinking over that he's been ordered by Princess Yuri to buy everyone anyway despite Elaine suddenly appearing in the auction. Porp tries to convince Ruda to back down as there's no need for a Great Family battle over a D-rank Regular, but Ruda refuses to back down and orders Porp to try to outbid him, which shocks Porp since he's now being forced to bid when that wasn't the plan. Nearby, Jinsung overhears the conversation, and joins in given that he's also interested in buying Elaine.
Jinsung walks before Ruda and Porp, who are both confused by who the former is. In return, Jinsung states that he's just a nobody. Since they're all interested in buying Elaine, Jinsung suggests that the three of them play a quick little game to see who amongst them comes out with the highest bid. Jinsung also points out his disadvantage given that his opponents are from two Great Families, which convinces Porp and Ruda to go along with it. They make their bids on the count of three. Porp starts with a 60 million bid while Ruda follows up with a 2 billion bid. However, Jinsung shocks them both by bidding as high as 10 billion. Porp and Ruda question what Jinsung's after since 10 billion points is enough to buy a fleet of floating islands, yet it's being wasted on just one D-rank Regular. In return, Jinsung claims that he's just winning favor from a certain prized student (Bam). With his job done, Jinsung moves to leave the auction while pointing out that the payment has now freed Elaine from her family debt. Ruda remains suspicious, and questions how a nobody that Jinsung claims to be has so much money. In return, Jinsung states that he's just an old man who disappeared from the history books, but states that it's not him who's saving Elaine, but his God. Bam's last seen giving off a smile as he and his companions depart from the auction.
Shortly after, Yuri and Evan are seen waiting on standby outside the Hell Train. Yuri gets a Pocket call from Ruda informing her that the plan to buy Viole at the station auction has failed since he never appeared, which shocks her. Ruda also reveals to her of the unknown Ranker who spent 10 billion points on a D-rank Regular, who he discovered was Kaiser, and that Endorsi has apparently defeated her, which shocks and confuses Yuri not knowing what's going on. After the call, Yuri informs Evan that the plan was to buy Bam's name once he had lost to Kaiser, yet it turns out that Kaiser has lost. Thus, she's now worrying that she will have to go through with taking Bam to the 43rd Floor of Death once he's returned with Kaiser's name. Suddenly, a call from Princess Khun Maschenny Zahard pops up on her Pocket, which shocks Yuri and Evan. Yuri goes through with taking the call, which Maschenny's words catches the former off-guard. Claiming that she's bored, Maschenny offers Yuri a bet that puts their 13 Month Series weapons on the line. The weapons being Maschenny's Yellow May for Yuri's Green April that the latter still has possession of.
Meanwhile within the Hell Train, Karaka turns out to have been aboard the express. Karaka had come across the corpse of his dead subordinate, Pedro, within the Train Conductor office, and has his hand placed on the dead Pedro's head in order to use an ability that allows Karaka to read Pedro's mind to see what happened to him. While reading Pedro's memories, Karaka thanks his dead subordinate for providing him a special room on the Hell Train that allowed Karaka to remain undetected. Karaka also assuring the dead Pedro that the latter's death wasn't wasted since FUG Slayer White is on the verge of being fully revived. Eventually, Karaka learns from Pedro's memories that the latter's killer, Princess Yuri, is also aboard the Hell Train.
At Name Hunt Station, Yuri and Evan remain standing outside the Hell Train taking a Pocket call Maschenny about betting her Yellow May for Yuri's Green April. Yuri questions why she should take the bet, which Maschenny reminds Yuri how the latter's been seeking a "change" in the Tower, which Yuri the first Jahad Princess to have 3 of the Thirteen Month weapons would be too good to pass up. Maschenny also claims that she has her own reasons for needing the Green April, and will send over the details on their bet. Maschenny also points out that she knows Yuri's on the Hell Train, and then hangs up.
After the Pocket call ends, Yuri thinks things over wondering why Maschenny's making such a bet that losing one's Thirteen Month would put them in massive danger, and why she's after the Green April rather than Yuri's Black March. However, it's at this point that Karaka appears behind them out of the Hell Train, which Karaka introduces himself to Yuri and Evan as the God of FUG. He asks if Yuri's indeed the same woman who killed his subordinate, Pedro, which she admits she is, which Karaka stands ready to fight since he's seeking revenge for Pedro's death. Knowing that Karaka's the powerful FUG Slayer who's been causing Bam trouble, Yuri stands ready to fight.
Meanwhile within Name Hunt Station, Bam's group are all seen resting in the No-name Residence now that their objectives are complete with Kaiser being purchased off the station, and the Lo Po Bia Princess twins retreating. Khun and Shibisu discuss their next moves, which despite Shibisu advising them to rest, Khun figures that Bam's Hell Train squad needs to now return to the express despite several teammates still being injured. Shibisu next asks if Kaiser's defeat means that FUG's taking over Name Hunt Station, which Khun answers no. Khun explaining that Alphine will be taking over and change its pyramid system for the better while still acting like she's part of the Lo Po Bia Family that runs the station. Elsewhere, the former station bosses, Alphine and Lulu, are seen meeting with Gramon and the other station Regulars to begin reshaping Name Hunt Station.
Rak remains resting in a nearby bed due to his injuries, which Khun goes about teasing the former about the loss to Inieta. Bam however remains focused on Name Hunt Station asking if the place will really change. In return, Khun explains that if the Named can overcome their greed of being better than those weaker, the station can change. However, Khun notes that Name Hunt Station probably symbolizes the inequality and bad human nature that's seen everywhere in the Tower, which Khun figures that they probably shouldn't try changing something like that since they're not gods. Bam ends up agreeing, but not before a thought crosses his mind wishing they were gods who could make such changes. Before Bam could further question Khun, Endorsi suddenly bursts into the room having heard from the others that Bam's group is going to the 43rd Floor of Death. Endorsi asks that she join the Floor of Death expedition, which shocks everyone.
Endorsi explains how she heard about a Jahad Princess living on the Floor of Death, which she's interested in meeting with her. However, Endorsi also knows that the Floor of Death journey will be tough for her. Thus, she figures that having a Guide like Hwaryun will greatly help with finding the princess. She also shows off the Hell Train ticket that she looted off one of the Ten Bosses. The sight of Bam and Khun remaining unconvinced ends up angering Endorsi, but Bam's issue is actually because he doesn't believe that Endorsi and Yuri are going to get along. It's at this point that the No-name Residence suddenly shakes, which catches everyone's attention.
Looking outside the building, Bam and company see Karaka battling Yuri and Evan, which the explosions of the battle start causing damage to the Name Hunt Station pathway that leads back to the Hell Train. Yuri remains annoyed that the station path being destroyed means that Bam won't be able to return to the Hell Train. However, since Bam's been getting in the way of White's resurrection, Karaka's fine with that since he's also aiming to keep Bam from returning to the Hell Train. Karaka also warns that Yuri should be more concerned with her own life as he prepares to attack her once more.
The Ranker duel between Karaka vs. Yuri and Evan continues above the Name Hunt Station pathway that leads back to the Hell Train. Karaka continues to attack by firing a powerful shinsu blast at them. To counter, Evan pulls out a special Frog Fisher item that he attaches to one of his fingers. The Frog Fisher has up to five techniques called desires, which Evan relies on its Hunger Desire technique to eat the shinsu blast. Karaka stops attacking to try to understand what the Frog Fisher is, which Evan uses the break to warn the former to back down from trying to stop Bam from reaching the Hell Train. That he's up against two High Rankers while Karaka's just a rookie FUG Slayer. Evan then proceeds to use the Frog Fisher's Restoration Desire technique on the floating bridge to the Hell Train that was damaged in the battle. Watching the bridge path start to be repaired, Karaka can't help but be impressed that Evan has an incredible item.
Moments beforehand, Bam's group is still at the No-name Residence. They continue to look out the window of their room at the Ranker duel going on outside. Bam noticing Karaka given their past encounter. Due to Karaka destroying the path back to the Hell Train, Khun figures that their only option is to quickly transport over using Endorsi's Bong Bong fairy. However, Endorsi warns them that it's too dangerous since she can only carry a few at a time using Bong Bong. Suddenly, they all notice Evan beginning to restore the floating block path back to the Hell Train, which they all see as their cue to get moving. Along with Endorsi, Bam and his Hell Train team gather up to begin making their way back to the express. However, Khun realizes that some have to stay behind due to injury. The injured Ran remains lying in a bed unable to move due to his brutal fight with Inieta. However, Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa are all determined to return to the Hell Train despite their injuries.
Back to the Ranker duel, Karaka remains stalled trying to figure out what to do about Evan's Frog Fisher working to restore the bridge. Yuri then calls Karaka out that given his focus on destroying the bridge, she now knows that his revenge for Pedro is just an excuse covering up his only goal, which is to keep Bam from returning to the Hell Train. Karaka doesn't deny it, and aims to attack the bridge again. However, Yuri quickly bashes him down with her Nuclear Punch that sends him flying way down below the floating block path that leads to the Hell Train. Yuri flies after the FUG Slayer to hit him with another Nuclear Punch, but Karaka counters with his Karaka-style Shinsu Control Skill: World of Darkness - Black Twilight technique that summons up many dark spheres in the air around them. One of the spheres hit by Yuri's Nuclear Punch manages to stop her punch, which amazes Yuri. Even admitting that Karaka's strong, and that if she doesn't kill him now, then Karaka will one day become her greatest enemy. Yuri charges at Karaka once more to resume their all out battle.
At that same time, Bam and company all arrive at the floating bridge path leads back to the Hell Train. They look down beneath the bridge, and are stunned and amazed by the Ranker duel going on between Yuri and Karaka. World of Darkness spheres and Nuclear Punches exploding all around. Given the rule that Rankers aren't supposed to be allowed to fight within the Hell Train stations, Khun remains confused as to why the 39th Floor Guardian's allowing this. His only theory being that the guardian has deemed this to be a necessary battle for some reason. Meanwhile as Evan's still restoring the bridge, he notices Bam's group having arrived, which leaves him shocked that they're rushing to return to the Hell Train while a Ranker battle is going on beneath them.
Back to Bam's group, Khun announces the plan that they're going to cross the bridge path back to the Hell Train while Karaka remains distracted. The only goal being to run as fast as they can while not fall off the bridge, or else they will be vaporized by the explosive Ranker duel going on beneath them. Khun also adds that to cross the gaps in the bridge that Evan hasn't fully restored yet, they will transport over using Endorsi's Bong Bong fairy. Khun then informs the group that other than Beta being stored within his Lighthouse, the rest of Team Nobic chose to stay behind to look after the injured Ran. However, the injured Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa trio remain determined to return to the Hell Train. Ehwa adding that she has to go since she promised Team Sweet and Sour that she will help Bam on the Floor of Death.
Bam and company remain at the entrance to the bridge path that leads back to the Hell Train while the Ranker duel between Yuri vs. Karaka rages on beneath it. Khun and Bam accept the injured Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa trio to follow them across the bridge despite the danger the Ranker duel poses. However, Khun warns them that everyone's on their own since there's no way anyone will be able to help one another crossing the bridge while Rankers are fighting. Shibisu and his team then say their goodbyes to Bam's Hell Train team, which they ask for them to look after Endorsi. They all agree to meet up again on a higher Floor as Bam's Hell Train team begins making their way across the path.
Evan notices Bam's group starting to cross the floating bridge back to the Hell Train, which he realizes that he needs to act so that Karaka doesn't notice them. He summons out his Adam's Glove item, which four large gloves shoot out from him. The four gloves then cast out a barrier bubble over Bam's location on the bridge, which silences all sound, and makes all objectives invisible, within the barrier. Khun catches on to what Evan's providing for them, and warns the group to not use shinsu skills since Karaka might sense it. Thanks to being hidden by the Adam's Glove barrier, Bam's group reaches the gap in the path that they will need to transport over on Endorsi's Bong Bong fairy. However, the injured fell behind, which Endorsi is only able to send over Bam, Khun, Boro, and Sachi first.
Meanwhile, the Ranker duel between Yuri and Karaka continues on beneath the floating bridge. Yuri grows annoyed that all her punches and kicks are being blocked by Karaka's dark spheres, which Karaka warns her that his World of Darkness is strong enough to neutralize the attacks of High Rankers. However, Karaka admits in his mind that Yuri's got a strong body since his World of Darkness spheres are supposed to have sucked her in and trapped her within a world of darkness, yet her physical body is strong enough to keep resisting it. Karaka then reveals that his World of Darkness has another ability where it can send back damage it received back at its attacker. He casts out the World of Darkness: Damage-Counter - Rain of Darkness technique, which one of his darkness orbs that absorbed all the damage Yuri gave it sends the damage as a shinsu blast back at Yuri. The result is Yuri being thrown back to above the floating bridge, but she remains unharmed, which Karaka can't believe.
Now floating above the bridge, Yuri catches sight of Bam and his companions trying to cross it to return to the Hell Train. Endorsi next transports Hwaryun and Iruroe over the bridge gap, which Karaka's counter blast just barely missed the injured Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa trio, who've fallen behind. Yuri remains in disbelief by what Bam's group is trying to do, and worries that Karaka might notice. However, Karaka's seen looking at the bridge, and starts to sense that something is off. The result is everyone stalling as they all look at Karaka wondering if he's caught on. However, Karaka remains unsure if what he sensed was real or not. Seeing Karaka confused, Yuri realizes that she needs to get his attention back before he catches on to Bam's group. She pulls out a special weapon needle called Kranos, which Karaka notices. Yuri explains how it's a powerful weapon once carried by Quadrado, a High Ranker who climbed the Tower long ago with the Ten Great Family Leaders, but one day lost it to the Irregular, Urek. She claims that Kranos is an unfairly powerful weapon that allows its user to use ultimate ignition one time on any Floor. The sight of the weapon stalls Karaka as he realizes that he has nothing capable of stopping it.
With Karaka's focus back on her, Yuri peaks in Khun's direction to warn him to get moving. Khun gets the message, and orders Endorsi to return to getting the injured Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa trio over the bridge gap on her Bong Bong fairy. Endorsi remains confused as to what's changed, which Khun informs her that Yuri's about to provide them an distraction once she ignites and fires her Kranos weapon upon Karaka. However, Karaka once again starts to sense that something's off as he wonders why Yuri felt the need to pull out Kranos, a one time weapon against him. He looks to the bridge remembering the brief moment he felt was off earlier, and starts to realize that Yuri's distracting him from the bridge. Yuri then goes through with igniting Kranos, and fires the weapon's powerful one-time shinsu blast upon Karaka, who chooses not to move as he remains focused on the floating bridge. Sure enough, Karaka sees Endorsi for a brief moment crossing the bridge gap on her Bong Bong fairy.
Karaka charges into the Kranos shinsu blast, much to Yuri's confusion that he's taking on a powerful High Ranker attack. He then pulls out his Steel Tree Armor Inventory to help shield himself from the Kranos blast, but the armor inventory's unable to hold up. With no other option left if he's to reach the bridge, Karaka sacrifices his current body's left hand to tank the Kranos' shinsu blast so that the rest of his body remains intact. Karaka disappears in the Kranos blast as Endorsi arrives at the injured Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa trio. The moment they've crossed the gap however, the one-handed Karaka suddenly appears at their bridge location, which shocks everyone. Summoning a large shinsu Bang within his one remaining hand to hold Endorsi, Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa hostage, Karaka threatens to kill them in order to make Viole appear before him.
On the floating bridge leading back to the Hell Train, the one-handed Karaka with a large shinsu Bang in his right hand continues to hold Endorsi, Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa hostage. He continues to threaten to kill the hostages if Viole doesn't come out of hiding, which Bam and the others remain hidden thanks to the invisibility of Evan's Adam's Glove item. Yuri and Evan are unable to act due to the hostage situation, which Yuri figures that they might have to abandon them so that Bam returns to the Hell Train. Karaka once more orders Viole to come out of hiding, or else he kills the hostages, which Bam finally accepts to approach him. Despite Khun begging Bam not to go, Bam not only wants to save his friends, but he doesn't seem convinced that Karaka will kill him since they're both from FUG. Bam then puts on his Viole wig, and walks on towards Karaka, which Khun's forced to watch. However, Hwaryun reassures Khun that Bam dying isn't going to happen here since the boy's currently on a path that he must take. As a result, Khun and the other companions that crossed the bridge gap make their way into the safety of the Hell Train so that Bam doesn't have to worry about them.
Exiting out of the Adam's Glove invisibility, Bam in his Viole wig appears before Karaka on the bridge. Bam asks that Karaka remove the shinsu Bang that's holding his friends hostage, but Karaka refuses since the moment he does so will cause the Rankers, Yuri and Evan, to attack him. Karaka then orders Viole to not make any moves or else his friends die, but is caught off-guard when Bam asks who he is since they've never actually met in person. FUG Slayer Karaka proceeds to properly introduce himself to Bam, which Bam questions if Karaka's come himself to take the Thorn after his subordinates failed to do so. However, Karaka assures him that that's not the case since the Thorn is useless without the melting method that he tried at the Workshop Battle. That his only goal at the moment is to keep Viole off the Hell Train since the latter's been getting in the way of White's resurrection. Bam yells back that that's not for Karaka to decide, but the latter ignores it. Meanwhile, Jinsung's seen flying away from Name Hunt Station on an airship with the freed Elaine as his passenger.
Back to the bridge, Bam explains how he heard from master Jinsung how Karaka is using FUG to get revenge on others, and that Jinsung worries that Karaka's madness will endanger everyone. Thus, Bam states that while he doesn't understand why Karaka's causing chaos for everyone else, what he does know is that is that it angers him how Karaka is putting those he cares about in danger. Karaka doesn't see what Viole's point is, which Bam once more asks that Karaka let his companions go and mind his own business. Bam threatening that he won't take this from Karaka anymore if he continues to endanger his friends. The threat leaves Karaka in disbelief that a Regular Slayer Candidate is threatening a FUG Slayer, which he prepares to fire his shinsu Bang upon Bam. However, Yuri creates a massive shinsu Bang of her own, and threatens to throw it at Karaka's location if he choose to attack Bam, which leaves everything at a stalemate.
To break the standstill, Ehwa comes up with an idea by asking Endorsi to forget about them, and use the Bong Bong fairy to quickly transport her and Bam back to the Hell Train. Endorsi questions how they're supposed to break through Karaka, which Ehwa answers that she will cut open a path using Danhwa's ignition sword. Endorsi also points out the problem that Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa would be left behind. However, Danhwa accepts going along with it as he agrees with Ehwa's plan to survive on their own, and not be a burden to Bam. As a result, Endorsi sends a Pocket message to Bam asking for him to distract Karaka somehow. Despite initial confusion, Bam goes along with it, and calls out to Karaka by pointing out that he knows of someone else who has a red ring with Jahad's symbol on it. The revelation shocks Karaka as he yells at Viole to reveal who it is. However, Karaka acting up results in his guard dropping for a moment that allows for Ehwa to swing Danhwa's ignited sword down upon the floating bridge in order to get away from Karaka. The results is the bridge piece with Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa on it falling off Name Hunt Station.
Regaining his focus, Karaka aims to finish the hostages off with his shinsu Bang, but his attack gets blocked off by Evan's Adam's Gloves. As Bam gets carried away by Endorsi's Bong Bong fairy, he calls out to Ehwa, which she assures him that they'll be fine. As a result, Bam is forced to watch the Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa trio fall away and disappear from Name Hunt Station. Meanwhile, Yuri casts out her powerful Ha Yuri Jahad Shinsu Control Skill: Murderious Energy - Rose Shower to cast out a powerful large area shinsu attack with a red rose theme to it that overtakes the whole floating bridge. Karaka's caught up in the attack while Bam and Endorsi on the Bong Bong fairy have arrived back at the Hell Train entrance. Despite Bam wanting to save Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa, he's forced back into the Hell Train by Endorsi before they're overtaken by the Rose Shower. As a result, Bam is back in the Hell Train with the only other teammates that made it in: Khun, Hwaryun, Endorsi, Boro, Sachi, and Iruroe. His companions are left confused by what's going on outside, which all Bam can do is cry due to having potentially lost three of his companions.
Once the Rose Shower ends, and Karaka's body gone, Evan and Yuri looks around the station for Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa. Unable to find them however, Evan can only assume that they fell to their death. Meanwhile aboard the Hell Train, a World of Darkness sphere is seen within a hidden car. Karaka appears out of it having not only returned to the Hell Train, but his body now fully restored. This is thanks to his World of Darkness having another skill: the Karaka Shinsu Control Skill: World of Darkness - Infinite Past Lives technique, which shows that Karaka can restore his body through the World of Darkness. Karaka thinks things over having realized that Yuri was going easy on him since she had to watch out for Bam's group. He realizes that he failed in his objectives of killing Yuri, and keeping Viole from returning to the Hell Train. However, he takes note of the one bit of amazing info he learned. That his brother who wields a red Jahad ring just like him is alive. Elsewhere within the Hell Train, the other red Jahad ring holder, Wangnan, is seen in the midst of his plan of attacking Cassano and Team Rachel.
Long Summary
Khun accepts Gramon's words, and advises the group to change their clothes for the festival given their high profile names. He next asks how they're supposed to enter the auction island, which Gramon answers that they simply ride the station's usual floating transport platform up towards it. Gramon also assures them that there shouldn't be any major problems getting in since the Ten Bosses will be too preoccupied with the festival to show themselves before Bam and company.
Explaining how the auction island entrances work, Gramon states that there's three ways to get in to reach the location where the festival will be held. Gramon also adds that two of the entrances are close to where the auction keeps its items, such as Viole's companions that are going to be sold off. As a result, Gramon advises Bam and company to infiltrate the auction island by splitting up into different teams. Khun thanks him for the info, and states that his group will go after Kaiser while the hostage rescue team splits into two teams to enter through the two entrances that are closer to the auction items. With everything set, Bam and company head off to prepare for the operation.
One hour later, transport platforms are seen carrying many named station Regulars up to the auction island. On one of said transport platforms is the Bam, Khun, and Gramon group as they look at the auction island they're getting close to. Khun notes how despite preparing as quickly as possible, there's still many named people around coming from the station.
Khun figures they're here simply to watch the exciting fights that are going to go down at the Auction House. Gramon reminds Khun that the named are going to the auction island due to Kaiser's order, and are mostly all servants to the current Ten Bosses. As a result, they most follow their Boss owners to the auction island, who are currently moving about within it. In return, Khun figures that in the end, Team Shibisu helped them out regarding this given that they've already managed to defeat four of the ten station Bosses.
Seeing the massive size of the auction island, Khun asks where it came from given that something that huge is practically impossible to keep hidden. Gramon, who realizes that he's the only one who overly dressed himself, simply answers that what was unseen has now become seen. The answer surprises Khun, who calls it cool that the auction island has an invisibility move, which Gramon explains that said auction island is a masterpiece created by the Workshop of the Ten Great Families. He warns Bam and Khun to be careful regarding the many traps that Workshop will have placed throughout the auction island.
Bam replies that he's already dealt with many of Workshop's traps before, and states how he's just worried about how Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa, are doing. Khun reassures him that they won't have much to worry about there since Kaiser and company aren't going to mishandle the items they're about to put up for auction. He advises Bam and Gramon to just remain timid for now, and reveals that he's been in contract with Team Shibisu, who will inform Khun of anything on their end if they also manage to locate the hostages. Bam asks if this means that Endorsi has chosen to help, but Khun answers that this was all on Shibisu, who agreed to go along with the plan to save the hostages when Khun told him about it. However, Khun also states that Team Shibisu are still going about doing their own mission to take out the remaining Ten Bosses so that they can challenge Kaiser the normal way.
Khun explains that Team Shibisu is currently more concerned about what will happen if Bam and Endorsi are forced to fight one another at the Auction House. He states that Team Shibisu knows that if they fail to gather up the names of the remaining Ten Bosses, they will be forced to try to defeat Bam in battle in order to save Endorsi's life, which will also bring Kaiser out, who's planning to defeat both Viole and Endorsi in front of everyone. As a result, Bam and company have to save the hostages, and steal away Kaiser's name, before 5:00pm tomorrow when the match between Viole and Endorsi was established.
At the first entrance into the auction island, Hwaryun's rescue group is seen entering it alongside Boro, Sachi, and Nobic. Hwaryun takes a look around at all the named Regulars entering along with them as they all continue walking down the path. Meanwhile at the third entrance into the auction island, Gramon's partner is seen leading the Ran, Dan, and Sia, rescue group through the entrance towards a hidden maze section. Seeing the twisting paths of the maze directly below them, Ran complains that they got stuck with the crappiest job, and notes that this has become such a nuisance.
Dan asks if there's mazes like this at all three entrances, which Gramon's partner answers that there will be similar mazes, but will vary depending on the location. She explains that once someone manages to get through the maze, they will reach the location that the auction items are kept, which means that Viole's companions will be at the end of one of the three mazes.
Hearing the answer, Dan next asks if it's possible for the auction items to be hidden elsewhere, which Gramon's partner answers that the possibility is low, but if the hostages have indeed been placed somewhere else, the named they've been able to recruit at the no-named area will contact them if they find anything off on the station.
Gramon's partner explains that awhile back, her companions got stuck in the auction island. As a result, she broke into the auction island with several others to save them before they got sold off. They managed to make it through the auction island's maze to reach where her companions were being held, but failed to save them in time, and was forced to watch them get sold off to someone at the Auction House. Gramon's partner states that they were too weak to bypass the members of the Ten Bosses to reach their companions, and because her friends also happened to be members of the Ten Great Families, one of the families really wanted to purchase their names at the festival.
Ran and company continue to listen to the story as Gramon's partner states that while many who don't know the true nature of Name Hunt Station may believe that being sold off at the auction festival is considered lucky to have finally escaped from the station, she doesn't see it that way. She explains that one of her Ten Great Family friends that got sold off was someone who hated living under the shadow of something so powerful, and as a result, she believes that her friend is now tied up with the Great Family living a life that he doesn't want. Gramon's partner yells in anger that for this, she can't forgive Kaiser or Name Hunt Station. This also includes those in power who put leashes on others, as well as those who help allow this to happen.
Having heard the story of Gramon's partner, Dan figures that this gives them even more reason to save the hostages as quickly as possible, which Ran complains that they waited forever just so Khun could get his suit on. Dan asks how the situation is for the other teams amongst Bam and company, which Sia informs him that they've also arrived through their respective auction island entrances. She advises the current team to get to the hostages as fast as they can so that they can turn their attention to finally defeating Kaiser.
Dropping down from their entrance to enter the maze, Ran, Dan, Sia, and Gramon's partner, begin their journey towards the hostages. Meanwhile within the maze, Inieta is seeing sitting on standby with possession of Danhwa's Krishna sword. Looking up, Inieta senses that someone has arrived in the maze.
At that same time, Team Shibisu, which consists of Shibisu, Endorsi, Hatz, and Lauroe, is seen entering a hidden auction island path that they discovered near the second entrance. Shibisu notes that it's a good thing they gathered information about the auction island to discover this hidden entrance, but adds that he never thought Kaiser's side would be able to take some people hostage.
An irritated Endorsi asks why they're going through the trouble of doing this since all she needs to do is fight Bam at 5:00pm tomorrow. She points out that this can all end by simply defeating Bam at the duel to make him a servant, which would then lead to Kaiser appearing so that they can beat the station warlord. Endorsi asks why they got to spend the night going after the rest of the Ten Bosses despite the more simple alternative she just mentioned. She also brings up how a lack of sleep will be the worst enemy for her skin care.
However, Shibisu replies that it was Endorsi's fault to begin with for them ending up in this mess. He states that they're better off being more productive by helping Bam's group save the hostages, which enrages Endorsi. She kicks Shibisu to the ground, and begins stomping on his head.
Continuing to stomp on him, Endorsi asks if he heard the complaints just now, and how her delicate heart has been hurt by the insensitive jerks known as Bam and Khun. She also reminds Shibisu that the reason they're at the station is to protect Anaak from the Lo Po Bia Family, which Shibisu apologizes for. However, Endorsi continues to stomp on him claiming that this is why Shibisu still doesn't have a girlfriend, which Shibisu again apologizes for. Wanting to get back on topic, Hatz asks who it was that defeated someone as powerful as Rak, which Shibisu answers that it was Arie Inieta.
Hatz is surprised to hear that their opponent is from the Great Arie Family, which Shibisu replies that it seems something stirred Inieta up to finally start moving since he never budged out of his hiding place no matter how much Team Shibisu tried to provoke him. Shibisu warns his teammates to be careful from here on out as the remaining members of the Ten Bosses will be the more skilled fighters who've been working under Kaiser for ages. He also states that just in case the Ten Bosses decide to pop up at the named residence, Anaak and Vespa have been stationed there to deal with them. Outside the named residence, Anaak is seen sitting atop the flying Vespa waiting for an enemy to show up. Shibisu gives the order to split up so that they can cover more ground during their search for the hostages.
He asks them to holler if they find said hostages as Shibisu, Endorsi, and Hatz carrying Lauroe, head off in different directions. As Endorsi walks away on her own, she's left irritated thinking that things are being made complicated for no reason. However, she questions why something else is making her feel annoyed as if someone is watching her. From a high location, the Lo Po Bia twins are seen looking down at Endorsi.
At that same time, the Bam, Khun, and Gramon, 3-man-team enters through the second entrance of the auction island. Khun sees that they've finally arrived, but notes how surprising it is to see many named Regulars having already gathered despite it being the middle of the night. He wonders if there's perhaps some kind of night club going on, but figures that it's obviously a part of Kaiser's plan to have so many named people here hoping that it will make it difficult for Bam and company to sneak around. Gramon replies that the named Regulars they see all around are servants of Kaiser and the Ten Bosses. As a result, the possibility of having to face off against all of the named here if a fight breaks out is strong while they remain in the auction island, which Khun admits that he understands Gramon's warning. Bam next asks how they're supposed to make it to Kaiser's current location from here, which Gramon answers that the path will be revealed once someone obtains all the names of the Ten Bosses.
However, since no one has accomplished that, no one on the station knows the path to Kaiser's Gallery island. Gramon remains confused as to why a boy wants to meet Kaiser so bad as he states to Bam and Khun that their best option is to ask someone on the inside. Going along with Gramon's plan, Khun concludes that it's possible one of the Ten Bosses knows the way to Kaiser's Gallery. As Bam, Khun, and Gramon, continue to walk beyond the second entrance of the auction island, they're stalled by the sight of a giant Regular smashing his foot down on a group of Regulars.
The Regulars being stomped on scream out in pain as the angry giant, who's the Toxic Waste Human known as Yukan of the Ten Bosses, asks if the little jerks really said that he's beneath Inieta in strength. One of the Regulars tries to explain that what they truly meant was that Kaiser appears to be a bit more tolerant towards Inieta, which enrages Yukan even further. Yukan points out how it's messed up that Inieta is getting special treatment despite them both being members of the Ten Bosses, and that the Arie Family member should be punished for disobeying the order to remain in hiding. He questions how Inieta got off scot-free despite disobeying Kaiser.
Steaming in anger, Yukan complains that he can't get over how enraged he is, and orders the Regulars he's stomping on to bring Jue Viole Grace to him so that he can prove how much better of a member of the Ten Bosses he is compared to Inieta. Bam and Khun ask if the person they're currently looking at is a member of the Ten Bosses, which Gramon answers that it is, and that he's known as Yukan the Toxic Waste Human. Gramon explains that given Yukan's brutal personality, the Toxic Waste Human was playing chief of the Ten Bosses until Inieta showed up, and took the lead spot away from him.
He warns Bam and Khun that given Yukan's history, the Toxic Waste Human is one of the most powerful Regulars on Name Hunt Station. Gramon advises for them to pass by quietly instead of ending up in a dangerous fight against Yukan. The enraged Yukan orders the Regulars he's stomping on to once more to bring Jue Viole Grace here, which the Regulars try to answer that they can't do that, but end up getting stomped on again; resulting in them screaming in pain once more.
Bam continues to watch Yukan's actions against the people he's stomping on in silence as Gramon states that only someone on the level of Jue Viole Grace could probably match up well against a member from the Ten Bosses. Yukan yells out that everyone here is useless, and that they're the reason that Kaiser has been looking down on him. Bam turns to Khun asking if this is ok, which Khun agrees that they should ask Yukan for information.
Walking towards Yukan, Bam informs Khun and Gramon that this won't take long, which shocks Gramon asking if the boy is insane. Bam calls out to Yukan, which grabs the Toxic Waste Human's attention. He asks Yukan if the Toxic Waste Human knows the way to Kaiser's Gallery since this is his group's first time here, and don't know the way. In return, Yukan asks who's currently speaking to him, which causes Bam to properly introduce himself as 25th Bam. The name confuses Yukan as Bam asks if it would be ok to remove the Toxic Waste Human's foot since it appears that Yukan isn't going to remove it from the Regulars himself.
The question confuses Yukan even further as Bam explains that it looks like the Regulars he currently has his foot on look repressed. Gramon calls out to Bam asking what he's doing warning him that things will get out of hand if a fight against one of the Ten Bosses occurs here, but Khun assures him not to worry as he's got a plan going on here. Yukan begins to laugh uncontrollably claiming that Bam must be completely insane, but Bam replies back that Yukan is the insane one for wanting to find Jue Viole Grace.
He warns Yukan that if the Toxic Waste Human was to meet with Viole, he would be in big trouble. Bam also states that the person known as Viole is really not in a good mood at the moment, which catches Yukan's attention. He explains to Yukan that people on the station kidnapped Viole's precious companions, and have conspired with outside powerful forces to treat Regulars as slaves at this Name Hunt Station. Bam claims that the people who took Viole's companions brag like Kings of a small Hell Train station, but don't seem to realize that they're nothing more than small toads in a pool. He scolds Yukan that to people on the outside, the people in control of Name Hunt Station are truly a pathetic bunch.
Bam says to Yukan that if there really is a God of the Tower, he will not forget pathetic people like the Toxic Waste Human, which enrages Yukan to the point of asking how Bam could dare to talk to him like that. Yukan asks if Bam has a death wish, but before he could act, he's suddenly struck by one of Bam's Bangs, and gets knocked back to the point of spitting out blood. The action confuses Yukan as Gramon watches in shock still not knowing that Bam is Viole.
Continuing to scold Yukan, Bam states that he's not a god since he's made mistakes in the past. Bam explains how his actions haven't always been just, and that he's not sure at the moment what the right thing to do is, but at the moment, he knows one thing. That he has the right to be angry against the people who play with the lives of his companions. He warns Yukan that he's extremely angry right now.
Yukan remains lying on the ground after getting hit by the surprise Bang as the shocked Gramon remains stunned in disbelief seeing Bam knock one of the Ten Bosses back in one hit. He asks Khun who Bam is, which Khun answers that he's just a random Regular that was just passing through the Hell Train, which confuses Gramon even further. Khun asks Gramon once more to not worry as despite the Ten Bosses being strong, they will be no match for Bam. The named Regulars all around begin to run away from the area knowing that Yukan is about to battle.
With blood spilling from his mouth, the enraged Yukan gets up yelling that he's going to kill Bam by melting him to the point of no one being able to find the boy's body. Bam is surprised to see Yukan get up as the Toxic Waste Human orders the former to die claiming that he's going to melt even his bones.
The named Regulars all around begin to fear that the Toxic Waste is about to occur, which catches Khun's attention. Gramon also warns Khun that they should use this chance to get away as Yukan's about to use his Toxic Waste attack. Khun asks what he means by that, which Gramon explains that Yukan's power is eating the toxic waste of the station, and having it stored in his body to the point of turning it into a poison to fire against his enemies. Gramon warns Khun that Yukan's toxic waste is strong enough to break through most defenses at their D-rank level as Bam watches the tubes all down Yukan's back begin to spit out a yellow substance all throughout the room.
Continuing to spit out the yellow toxic waste substance, Yukan stands before Bam claiming that the bastard boy will pay for stomping him into the ground just now with that surprise Bang. Gramon warns Khun once more that they must get going now as the place is about to be filled with Yukan's toxic waste. He also warns Khun that if they don't get out, they will no doubt be completely melted by Yukan's toxic waste ability. Gramon then asks if they've truly decided to die here before they've managed to save Viole's compansions.
Bam looks around at the balls of toxic waste hitting the ground all around him as Yukan orders him to die, and sends a blast of toxic waste in Bam's direction. Bam manages to evade it as Khun uses his lighthouse barrier to block the toxic waste from hitting him and Gramon, but watches as the toxic waste spreads throughout the room. The named Regulars begin to run in an attempt to now allow the toxic waste to reach them as Bam is left worried that everyone else is going to get involved in this fight. Bam yells at Khun to get his attention, which Khun replies that he understands what Bam wants, and moves his lighthouse barrier to block Yukan's toxic waste shots from spreading any further.
The strength of Khun's lighthouse barrier surprises Yukan seeing that there's a light bearer with the power to block his powerful toxic waste, and is left wondering who this light bearer is that has suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Finding it surprising how easy it was to block Yukan's attack, Khun orders Bam to now go on the offensive. Bam does so by powering up many Bangs, and sends them at Yukan. The Bangs all strike at Yukan, who's left stunned in disbelief not able to understand how a boy is able to handle so many shinsu Bangs. A moment after, Yukan, with all his toxic waste tubes having been cut off by Bam's shinsu Bangs, is left stunned in place unable to believe what just happened. The toxic waste drops to the floor from Yukan's destroyed tubes as Bam jumps to land on the back of the Toxic Waste Human. Bam places his hand on Yukan's back as the announcement is made that Jue Viole Grace has made contact with Yukan's body to begin the name-stealing, which shocks the Toxic Waste Human.
Seconds 1 and 2 pass by as Yukan is left confused as to what's going on realizing that he's now unable to move. As second 3 passes, Yukan questions what's going on having not realized that Bam used the reverse flow control freezing Bang on him. Seconds 4, 5, 6, and 7, pass by, and Yukan remains confused as to why the boy calling himself Bam was called Jue Viole Grace by the name-stealing announcement.
Second 8 passes by as the shocked Yukan remains even more confused since he thought that Viole was someone who had long hair. Second 9 passes as Yukan questions once more what's going on since he never heard the information that Jue Viole Grace also goes by 25th Bam. Second 10 passes as Yukan is forced to watch himself officially become a Name Hunt Station servant to Bam. Falling to his knees, Yukan apologizes to Bam asking the boy to forgive his arrogance having not realized that he's standing before the Slayer Candidate.
Yukan begs Viole to spare him, and will serve the Slayer Candidate as a loyal servant, which leaves the surrounding named Regulars stunned by what they just witnessed. They find it unbelievable that Yukan was unable to touch Bam, and that the station Boss was beaten so easily by FUG's incredible new Slayer Candidate. Yukan apologizes once more for his actions, and begs them not to steal his name away. Gramon is also left stunned in disbelief finally realizing that Bam is Jue Viole Grace.
Khun explains to Yukan that they don't intend to take his name as long as the station Boss explains how to reach Kaiser's Gallery island from here. However, Yukan informs them that he's someone who's unable to do that, which surprises Khun that the servant can't tell information to his new master. Having acquired the chance to take his first name, Bam receives the scroll that's required for keeping his stolen names. Annoyed by Yukan's answer, Khun calls out to the surrounding named Regulars if they want Yukan's useless name as their servant. Khun also calls out to the person who was previously getting stomped on by Yukan if he desires the name, and adds that he will add in a poison frog to the deal for free.
Fearing for his life, Yukan apologizes once more to Khun, and states that he will tell them how to reach Kaiser's Gallery if they spare him. In return, Khun is left surprised by how freaky Yukan's face is up close. Khun asks once more how they're supposed to reach the Gallery island, which Yukan answers that only one specific woman knows of the path to reach it. Bam and Khun remain confused by what he means, which Yukan answers that they can get the information they're seeking from Kaiser's most loyal servant amongst the Ten Bosses, Alphine the Shadow Girl. At another location within the auction island, a named Regular servant is seen approaching Alphine to inform her that intruders have been spotted at the second entrance, which Alphine admits that she understands the message.
Back to beyond the third entrance, Gramon's partner leads the Ran, Dan, and Sia, rescue group to a ledge of the maze where a ladder drops down to complete darkness unable to see the bottom. Gramon's partner informs the members of Team Nobic that they've reached the location where they will find the auction items once they drop down from the ledge.
Looking at the map of the maze on her Pocket, Gramon's partner notes how glad she is that nothing about the maze had changed since the last time she was here. Dan takes a look down the ledge, and begins to sweat in fear that he's unable to see the bottom of it. He asks if this really is the only way to reach the hostages, which Gramon's partner answers that they have no choice since the other paths of the maze are twisted dead ends.
She informs Dan and company that the only exit of the maze is at the bottom of the ledge. Dan asks if they could ride down on lighthouses, but Sia warns the group that given how deep the drop is, the possibility of them losing balance and dropping off is incredibly high. Sia figures that their only option is to climb down the ladder despite how slow of a pace it will be. Suddenly, Sia's lighthouse gives off a beep as a warning to the group, which catches everyone's attention. Sia warns the group that a second lighthouse she installed in the maze for surveillance has reacted to something that is approaching their location.
The image on her lighthouse shows Inieta walking down one of the paths within the maze. On Inieta's side, he notices Sia's surveillance lighthouse floating above him, and waves at it to greet whoever he believes is trying to spy on him. In return, the greeting shocks Sia since her lighthouse was supposed to be in invisible mode that no one would be able to see. Seeing the person on the lighthouse, Gramon's partner informs the Team Nobic members that they've come across Arie Inieta.
Dan is shocked by the name drop, and asks if it's really the guy that captured Rak and Ehwa, which Gramon's partner answers is indeed the case. Gramon's partner explains that Inieta is the strongest of the Ten Bosses known as the Genius Swordsman. She asks what they're supposed to do now since Inieta will definitely see them trying to climb down the ledge ladder to reach the maze exit. In return, Ran announces that he will face off against Inieta in order to buy the rest of the group enough time to climb down the ladder. The announcement shocks Sia, who asks if Ran will be ok going alone. Ran answers that he just doesn't want to be bothered with climbing down a long ladder.
Meanwhile, Inieta continues to walk through the maze tunnel, and thinks to himself how boring it is currently. He remembers how fun it was to fight Rak, but is annoyed that Kaiser didn't let him keep the alligator. He leaves off hoping that the kids he's walking towards will provide him with a similar kind of fun. Stopping his walk, Inieta looks ahead sensing someone coming towards him, and wonders who it could be that's probably challenging him.
Thinking things over, Inieta remembers how he's not allowed to touch Viole or Endorsi, but thinks that Sachi Faker of the top-3 D-rankers could make for a good match. He also remembers how there was a member of the Great Khun Family amongst the enemies that managed to take out Hesse.
Seeing the shine of blue electricity down the maze hallway, Inieta sees Ran appear in front of him, and calls out to the Khun Family kid in excitement. Inieta states to Ran that this is going to be fun given how he knows that his next opponent is the kid that defeated Hesse. In return, Ran creates his lighting pill, and eats it while claiming that this is all such a nuisance.
Standing before Ran, Inieta asks if the boy is the same Khun Family kid that managed to defeat Hesse. He also points out how fun this is going to be seeing that Ran is confident enough in his abilities to face off against Inieta without the help of anyone else. Clenching the Krishna sword excited for a fight, Inieta mentions how interesting it will be to see Ran's face once the kid loses. In return, Ran, who finds Inieta to be a weird one, orders the Arie Family member to shut up, and start the fight already.
Inieta orders Ran not to rush him, and asks the kid why he's wishing for his death to come a lot sooner. Powering up his lightning abilities, Ran answers that shutting up the idiotic Inieta's irritating mouth is the perfect reason to do so. Inieta powers up an ignition blast from the Krishna sword as he and Ran send their attacks at one another. The lightning and ignition blast collides with one another as Ran charges forward with an electricity enhanced fist ready to punch Inieta. Ran sends a barrage of close-combat strikes at Inieta, who manages to block each of the attacks, but admits that the kid from the Khun Family is incredible since Ran is managing to block the Krishna sword with just his shinsu enhanced bare hands.
Inieta also admits that Ran is incredibly fast as the Khun Family member continues to attempt to land an electric spear on him. Changing tactics, Ran begins to add his feet to his close-combat strikes as he manages to force Inieta to go on the defensive with a high kick.
Inieta falls back to re-establish himself as Ran charges after him with another fist of electricity. In return, Inieta is left amazed seeing that Ran is already fast, but as the fight continues, he realizes that the boy continues to get even faster. Inieta concludes that if this fight continues on, it will be incredibly hard for him to keep up with Ran any further. Knowing he needs to finish the fight fast, Inieta swings Krishna in a way to have sword strikes coming at Ran from every direction, which catches the latter's attention.
Realizing he's about to get hit from all sides, Ran is left wondering if this is that attack he had been told about. Ran flashes back to a time when he was in a room hearing the voices of people talking about him amongst the Great Khun Family.
One is shocked to hear that Ran, despite still being a little kid, has already been chosen to become a Regular, which another replies that it happened too quickly, and must have been a plan put together by Headon and the Khun Family head to get Ran into the Tower as soon as possible. Another states that they can't do anything about this given that Ran is someone who has inherited the bloodline, but adds that there's really no problem here as long as he doesn't become an enemy of Princess Maschenny Jahad.
A woman with long blue hair, implied to be Maschenny Jahad, walks up behind Ran, which the latter asks why she's decided to approach him. She answers her by providing him advice that amongst the Regulars he's going to be facing off against within the Tower, the people he should look out for the most are those from the Great Arie Family. Ran listens closely as she explains that if he was to ever end up in a fight with an Arie Family member, his best option of survival is to not avoid their sword. She states that instead doing what kills off other rookies, who try to find the pattern in the Arie Family member's sword skills, he should simply withstand the attack so that he can perform an unexpected counterattack.
Returning to the present, Inieta is shocked by what he's seeing as Ran is seen surrounded by the Krishna sword strikes, but remains in place powering up a fist of electricity. Ran remembers the words of the woman telling him that he will be able to strike a member of the Arie Family with a powerful unexpected attack since he'll be able to withstand their sword due to his naturally strong body. Inieta still can't believe what he's seeing as Ran manages to land a direct hit with a lighting spear on Inieta's stomach that knocks the Arie Family member back. In return, Ran braces himself to take the hits of the sword attacks that have completely surrounded him.
Moments after, Ran's body is left bloody and damaged being able to tank Inieta's sword attack that hit from all directions. Inieta gets knocked back to the point of getting slammed into a wall as blood drips from his face. He then gives off a laugh upon realizing that Ran is much tougher than he looks as a little kid.
Inieta pulls out his booze bottle, and admits that he never expected Ran to have a sturdy enough body to just stand there and take the sword swings of an Arie Family member. Ready to take a drink, Inieta concludes that the only logical explanation is that Ran is a Direct Line, a direct descendant of a leader from the Ten Great Families. In this case, Ran being the direct child of the Great Khun Family leader. Ran quickly sends a blast of electricity in Inieta's direction, which causes the latter to evade, but ends up dropping his booze bottle before he could take a drink. Holding onto his stomach that was struck by Ran's lightning spear, Inieta complains why Ran is going this far.
He points out that Ran has caused him to spill his precious drink just now, and that this is why he hates going up against people who are born within the Direct Line. Getting angry, Inieta claims that people from the Direct Line are always so uptight similar to how Ran is currently being, and that it's now gotten to a point where he really wants to destroy the kid. Inieta dodges another lightning attack from Ran, and goes directly for his dropped booze bottle. Picking it up, Inieta yells at Ran that more than anything else, he can't stand people that are connected to direct lines and legitimacy to become the new head of a Great Family. Drinking down the booze, Inieta evades more lightning attacks from Ran, which shocks the latter seeing that the Arie Family member has now suddenly gotten a lot faster at reacting.
Feeling like he's drunk enough, Inieta smashes his booze bottle on the ground, and yells at Ran that he always wants to smash to bits whatever stupid crap he comes across that's connected to Direct Lines.Ran and Inieta charge at one another with their respective lightning fist and ignited Krisnha sword ready to strike one another.
Attempting to strike first, Ran ends up missing his attack as Inieta chooses to duck out of it. Inieta's action surprises Ran, who deduces that the Arie Family member had baited him into attacking first. Claiming that he has Ran right where he wants him now, Inieta sends an ignition blast in the Khun Family members direction. Ran manages to evade it, but Inieta calls for his ignition blast to ignite, which begins to make a massive explosion behind Ran.
Seeing the ignition blast ignite behind him shocks Ran as he's not able to understand how Inieta's attack is able to ignite after having already been swung. Seeing Ran's shocked expression, Inieta gloats that Ran must not have known that members of the Great Arie Family can do anything when it comes to using swords. Claiming that this fight is finished, Inieta watches as Ran remains helpless in the air about to be hit by the ignition explosion behind him. However, the ignition blast gets covered by the sudden appearance of a pink lighthouse field.
The sight of the pink lighthouse field trapping the ignition blast within it surprises Inieta as he looks behind himself only to see that Dan carrying Sia has arrived at their location. Inieta remains confused as to how he didn't sense their presense until now as Dan is seen breathing in exhaustion in order to catch up to Ran's location. Dan states how glad he is that they made it in time since he hasn't run that fast in ages, and that the group was feeling bad about leaving the maze without Ran. The statement shocks Inieta after realizing that Dan was able to evade his detection range by simply running faster than he can sense, and has begun to put together that this is what Ran's group was planning this whole time.
Sia orders Ran to duck, which the latter does so. A moment later, Sia opens up her lighthouse containing Inieta's ignition blast within it in order to have it explode back upon the station Boss. The combo shocks Inieta, who quickly realizes that they're using his own attack against him. In addition, Ran goes in for a lightning attack to add with the reversed ignition blast, and claims that this fight is now over. A massive explosion occurs that completely destroys the part of the maze tunnel they're currently fighting in.
Meanwhile, the Bam, Khun, and Gramon, three-man group are brought to a double gray door by Yukan. Khun asks if behind the double door is where the Alphine girl is at, which Yukan, who had been compressed down to a normal human size, states that it is, but warns them not to go in due to how dangerous Alphine is. The warning surprises Khun, who asks why Yukan chose not to say anything until already showed them to the gate leading them to Alphine, which Yukan explains that it's because no one has ever been able to leave Alphine's chamber behind said double doors alive. He warns Khun and company once more that their best option is to not enter Alphine's chamber.
Ignoring Yukan's warning, Khun walks forward claiming that there's no time to second guess their actions simple because something might be too dangerous. He walks towards the double doors leading to Alphine's chamber room as Yukan calls out to him fearing that he's failed to stop them. However, Yukan gives off a laugh to himself thinking that Bam's group still hasn't realized that he's been fooling them by acting as their loyal servant. Yukan figures that Bam and company are pretty much finished at this point since they will be entering Alphine's perfect playground once they pass beyond the double door entrance into the Shadow Girl's chamber. Yukan believes that they're about to realize just how frightening Alphine's abilities truly are.
Moments after, Bam, Khun, Gramon, and Yukan, walk through the entrance into Kaiser's chamber, which is set up to look like an office room. Alphine is seen standing in front of her desk waiting for their arrival as she claims that Bam and company must be the intruders that she was previously warned about. She also figures that all of them must be Viole's companions, and states how impressed she is that they managed to defeat Yukan, which Khun agrees that they will just go with that. In return, Bam gets straight to the point stating that he's here to retrieve his companions being held hostage, and to steal away Kaiser's name.
He then orders Alphine to tell them how to reach Kaiser's Gallery island from the auction island they're currently on. Thinking it over, Alphine warns Bam that he's being too impatient at the moment since a simple call order to the people holding his companions hostage could instantly kill them here and now. However, Khun calls out her bluff claiming that they can't touch the hostages until Kaiser's side manages to steal away Viole's name. Khun also points out how this is why Kaiser went to such lengths to tell everyone about the upcoming event between Viole and Endorsi since it make's Kaiser's plan obvious that the station warlord wants to destroy the Slayer Candidate and the Jahad Princess in one fell swoop.
In addition, Khun warns Alphine that they currently have other companions within the auction island searching for the hostages. The reason being so that they can keep their focus squarely on stealing Kaiser's name. At that same time within another location of the auction island, Hwaryun is seen going off down an unknown tunnel. Boro tries to inform her that she's going the wrong way, but Hwaryun orders him to shut up, and just follow after her.
Having heard Khun's explanation, Alphine admits that they're all very confident, but points out how their star of the show, Jue Viole Grace, is still nowhere to be seen. However, Bam steps forward to inform Alphine that he's the Slayer Candidate, and orders her once more to tell them the path to reach Kaiser's Gallery. The revelation surprises Alphine asking if Viole has been wearing a wig this while time, which Bam answers that he has. In return, Alphine breaks down into laughter finding it amusing how she never imagined that FUG's newest Slayer Candidate would turn out to be a cute kid.
Khun asks why Alphine is laughing over this, and points out how if she really wants to see someone truly impatient, she should meet their alligator companion. However, Alphine informs them that she will tell them the way to Kaiser's Gallery, which shocks Bam and company seeing how easy that was, especially Yukan, who realizes that his plan to screw over his new master has gone up in smoke. In return, Alphine states that Viole has to prove something to her before she reveals the path, which confuses Bam. Alphine explains that he needs to prove if he's capable of releasing Kaiser from a restraint that has been binding her for the past 1000 years.
At another auction island location, Endorsi is seen walking by herself still irritated over the current situation. She complains that the place is too big to search around for the remaining members of the Ten Bosses, and asks again why everything has suddenly become so complicated when there's much more simpler ways to resolve their current problems.
Endorsi states to herself that she's hoping the station Bosses will just come searching for her as she looks behind still sensing someone following close by. She orders her follower to come out of hiding already as the yellow-head of the Lo Po Bia Princess twins is seen as the one trying to sneak up on Endorsi.
Returning to Alphine's office, Bam asks what she means by Kaiser being someone who's currently restrained. Khun asks if what Alphine is implying is that Kaiser isn't the true ruler of Name Hunt Station, but is actually being ordered by someone against her will, which Alphine answers is the case. Alphine reveals that the 39th Floor is actually ruled by one of the Ten Great Families known as the Lo Po Bia Family, which surprises Bam and company. The Shadow Girl explains that Kaiser is also from said family, and that while she's not a Direct Line descendant, she was a rising star that was showing greater skills than those who were.
As a result, Kaiser was known in the Lo Po Bia Family as someone who was a complete genius. Alphine reveals that when Kaiser turned 14, she had already become such a highly valued person of outstanding potential to the point of being selected as a new Jahad Princess. The revelation shocks Bam and company as Khun asks why Kaiser is the way she is now despite the Jahad Family having sought her out.
Alphine answers that it's a complicated story related to the Lo Po Bia Family, and asks if they know about them, which Khun answers that they've sort of had a run in with them in the past. She explains that the head of the Lo Po Bia Family is known as the strongest Anima within the Tower, who was able to command anything mystical within the Tower, whether it be animal or human. As a result, the leader's children were all born with such amazing Anima talents as well.
Alphine explains how the Lo Po Bia Family works. That said family is split into 20 cadet branches headed by each of the 20 animals that the Great Family leader had command over. Each of the 20 branch families were born with different special abilities related to the animal at the head of each branch. As for Kaiser, she was born within the Lo Po Bia Family branch known as the Grey Wolves. However, the Grey Wolf faction was the one branch family that didn't have anything special about it compared to the other 19 branch families.
After Kaiser began showing her true potential, the rumors within the Lo Po Bia family began to spread that she was soon going to be selected as a Jahad Princess. Since being a Jahad Princess brings about great power and honor, the Grey Wolf branch soon after quickly began to obtain power that they've never had beforehand. Alphine adds that she was working as an attendant for the main Lo Po Bia family, and was assigned to watch over Kaiser closer than anyone else.
She remembers how Kaiser looked like a small dignified wolf always running around the Grey Wolf faction's ship excited that her family was finally going to get some respect. Alphine states that the sight of Kaiser back then made her believe that the latter was indeed suited to be a Jahad Princess. To Alphine, Kaiser had proven herself to be a dignified, courageous, kind, and courteous woman. However, that all chanced when a certain incident happened a week before Kaiser was set to head off to the Jahad Palace to receive her Princess blessing, which grabs Bam's attention.
Alphine explains that it was on a day where children of the 20 Lo Po Bia branches gathered to complete against one another. Kaiser didn't have to compete since she was set to become a Jahad Princess, but ended up going anyway, because the main Lo Po Bia Family summoned her to the competition for some reason.
Watching the family members compete, this is where Kaiser met a boy that was proving himself stronger than the others. Alphine explains that this boy had incredible talent having extraordinary abilities that were much higher than the rest of the 20 branch children. Kaiser had ended up falling in love with him at first sight. Alphine knew of the trouble that was coming as a Jahad Princess was not allowed to fall in love with someone, even if they haven't been blessed to become one yet, and yet Kaiser had ended up falling in love with the boy of incredible talent. Bam and company continue to remain silent through the story as Alphine asks herself why she didn't step in at that point.
She claims that had she stopped the boy from approaching Kaiser, nothing bad would have happened afterwards. However, Alphine adds that given the look Kaiser had in her eyes seeing her first love, the Shadow Girl figures that if she was to go back in time to this point, she would have ended up making the same mistake anyway. Alphine states that this kind of meeting was uncontrollable since it's natural for a boy and a girl to meet and fall in love with one another. The problem was that it came at a really unfortunate time. Alphine continues the story that as time got closer to her trip to the Jahad Palace, Kaiser began to second-guess herself.
She remember how Kaiser told her once that she doesn't want to break up with the boy, and isn't able to imagine what her life would be like afterwards if she wasn't allowed to love someone as a Jahad Princess. In the end, Kaiser ended up ultimately making the wrong chose, and chose to run away with the boy. However, they were in no position as two children to escape the floating ship of the Lo Po Bia Family. Kaiser figured that their best option would be for her to just tell everyone that she wasn't fit to be a Jahad Princess, and just wanted to live a normal life by falling in love with the boy. However, it all turned out to be a trap for Kaiser, which surprises Bam and company.
Alphine explains that Kaiser and the boy would eventually arrive at a ship location where it turned out that guards from the Direct Line of the Lo Po Bia Family, as well as soldiers from the Jahad Family, were stationed to await Kaiser's arrival. Bam begins to realize what happened, which Alphine answers to be the case that everything had been staged until this point to test Kaiser.
She states that it was to see if she was truly a suitable candidate to be the next Jahad Princess. The whole thing was a fake as Kaiser looks at the boy now opposite her standing alongside the soldiers of Lo Po Pia and Jahad.
Explaining what happened, Alphine states that everything from the competition amongst the 20 branches, to the appearance of the boy, to even the whispers of love he and Kaiser exchanged, were all a planned out lie all for the means of a test to determine if she would be suited to be a Jahad Princess. As a result of failing this test, Kaiser was ultimately not chosen as a Jahad Princess. Afterwards, the enraged head of the Great Lo Po Bia Family considered this incident a great embarrassment, and ordered for the entire Grey Wolf branch to be imprisoned. Kaiser would run up to her family about to be taking away by the guards regretting the decision she made to run away with the boy, but at this point, there was no turning back.
The Grey Wolf family getting imprisoned left Kaiser as a cold-hearted person who's been hardened by the betrayal of her first love. The main Lo Po Bia Family would then impose a massive penalty fee on the Grey Wolf faction for this embarrassment, and sentenced Kaiser to serve a Very Special Labor Punishment. Some time after, Kaiser was finally chosen by Headon of the 1st Floor to become a Regular who would climb up the Tower. However, Kaiser never expected that she wasn't going to be climbing up the Tower as a Jahad Princess. Given how skilled Kaiser is, she was able to quickly climb up the lower Floors of the Tower as a normal Regular.
Eventually, Kaiser reached the 39th Floor's Name Hunt Station where she is to take part in her Very Special Labor Punishment. The station at the time of Kaiser's arrival was nothing more than a lawless and neglected area that only had remnants of the pyramid slave system that originated from the time the Ten Great Families rose through the Tower.
Alphine explains that the Ten Great Families conquered Name Hunt Station ages ago, but left it alone for the time being until they finally saw a perfect opportunity to transform it into the current form it is nowadays. Jahad and the Ten Great Families saw Kaiser as the perfect candidate to carry out their plan to transform Name Hunt Station into the impossible to escape pyramid slave system where names of Regulars are bought by people of the Tower. The Lo Po Bia Family sent her to Name Hunt Station promising that part of the money Kaiser obtains working there will slowly over time pay off the debt placed on the Grey Wolf faction.
Alphine continues the story that Kaiser, who was still guilty over her love test failure that resulted in the massive debt imposed on her Grey Wolf family, immediately suppressed the current Regulars living at Name Hunt Station, and made them her servants. Putting on a white mask to take on a new warlord-like persona, Kaiser was officially declared at this point to be the leader of Name Hunt Station.
Some time after, Alphine reveals that she would eventually become a Regular, and climbed up the Tower to eventually reaching Name Hunt Station as she heard rumors during her climb about Kaiser having transformed the place. Alphine enters Name Hunt Station, and sees that Kaiser had already transformed herself into a cruel warlord who rules over the place, and didn't even show a hint of her face to Alphine from behind her new white mask. In the end, Alphine had chosen to continue serving under Kaiser.
At this point, the vicious cycle where Regulars were imprisoned on the station, treated as slaves, sold off to families at the festivals, and then Name Hunt Station would collect the profits, was officially created. Alphine states that Kaiser completed the system in quite a shockingly cold-hearded manner, and her control over Name Hunt Station for 1000 years has provided vast sums of money to be returned to her Grey Wolf faction. She figures that the amount of work they've done at the station has surely paid off Kaiser's debt by now, but to her surprise, Alphine would later discover that Kaiser's massive debt hadn't decreased at all, which confuses Bam and company.
Alphine explains that she had asked the Lo Po Bia Family to recheck the debt total, but every time came back with the response that the debt hasn't been decreasing. She states that it was perfectly established for the Grey Wolf family to receive the money from Name Hunt Station, so the question remained where the money was disappearing to. She informs Bam and company that the only logical explanation is that the Grey Wolves have been wasting it all away. Alphine explains that it's become obvious at this point that the Grey Wolves have no intention of repaying the debt, because they know that if Kaiser was to be released, they wouldn't receive any more payments from Name Hunt Station. The Grey Wolves decided that they're better off just continuously charging Kaiser for interest by keeping her forever trapped at the station with a debt that will never be paid back.
Alphine also adds that to the Grey Wolves, Kaiser is seen as their enemy for disgracing them to begin with by falling in love with a boy. However, Alphine reveals that despite Kaiser knowing what her family is doing, she has chosen to remain forever punished at the station until her Grey Wolf family finally forgives her. Bam remains shocked in disbelief by what he just heard as Kaiser states once more that she will tell tell them the path to Kaiser's Gallery if he knows of the method to rescue Kaiser from her oppressive restraints.
At this point, shadows begin to appear on the ground from behind them, which catches Bam and company's attention. Turning around, Khun questions what he's looking at as the group sees a giant orange fox standing behind them. Alphine warns Bam and company that if they don't know of a way to save Kaiser, than they can go ahead and be sent off to hell dying to her Shadow Fox.
Back to Endorsi's location, the yellow-head Lo Po Bia twin pops out from behind her wall, and gives off a laugh knowing that Endorsi found her. The sight of the yellow-head shocks Endorsi, who realizes that the person following her is one of the twin Jahad Princesses, Lilial Jahad. Lilial jumps forward to stand opposite Endorsi as the latter asks why the former is here since the rumors she last heard was that Lilial was on the Tower's 45th Floor. However, Lilial scolds Endorsi for talking so rudely to a sister Princess, and points out that this is why people like Endorsi shouldn't get chosen since they lack basic foundation, which enrages Endorsi to the point of ordering Lilial to shut up.
Endorsi also asks how Lilial could go about calling the two of them sisters after the set-up the Lo Po Bia Princess pulled, which got Endorsi stuck on Name Hunt Station. However, Lilial replies that this was the deal to begin with, and calls Endorsi an idiot for falling for such an obvious trap to begin with. In return, Endorsi thinks to herself how irritated she is not being able to stand how Lilial is talking to her. Lilial next states that she was actually going to just stand by and watch everything unfold, but had to enter after something interesting popped up. Endorsi asks what she means by that, which Lilial answers that it's because Jue Viole Grace has appeared here.
Lilial says to Endorsi that she finds it unbelievable how the Slayer Candidate has some sort of connected to a Jahad Princess, which catches Endorsi's attention realizing that she could be in trouble here. She also claims to Endorsi that this is the mother of all scoops, and hopes to tell dad about it as soon as possible since it's driving her nuts not having told anyone about this yet. Lilial asks Endorsi if she happens to be friends with Viole, which Endorsi struggles to answer knowing how dangerous things will get if she lets a crazy bitch know about her connections with Bam.
Seeing Endorsi remaining silent, Lilial yells at her that she will have to force her to speak if Endorsi is going to keep hiding information from the Lo Po Bia Princess. Lilial charges at Endorsi, and jumps over her while stating that Endorsi is lucky getting the chance to face off against Viole in the Name Hunt Station festival. Endorsi remains confused by what she means by that, which Lilial explains that if Endorsi was to use Viole correctly, it could end up saving her life. She then sends a kick at Endorsi, which the latter easily blocks.
Endorsi asks why Lilial is telling her this, which the Lo Po Bia Princess explains that as long as Endorsi defeats Jue Viole Grace in the festival, which would be a Jahad Princess defeating a Slayer Candidate, then even the Jahad Family wouldn't be able to dispose of a nameless person who was able to accomplish such an incredible feat.
Lilial kicks Endorsi once more, which knocks the latter back, and then lands back on the ground to re-establish herself. The two stand opposite one another again as Endorsi orders Lilial to not be so ridiculous telling her how she's supposed to fight her battles. Lilial replies that she expected Endorsi to react this way, but also informs her that she also happens to not like the idea of Endorsi going up against Viole.
The reply leaves Endorsi confused, which Lilial explains that she can't just stand by and watch Endorsi take all the glory for herself. The glory being a Jahad Princess defeating the Slayer Candidate, Jue Viole Grace. Lilial states that Kaiser is ok with just making Endorsi battle it out against Viole, but instead, Lilial believes that she would fit the role better, which confuses Endorsi even further. She asks what Lilial means by that, which Lilial answers that it's going to be her that will win against Viole in the festival, the Jahad Princess from the Lo Po Bia Family. In return, Endorsi asks if Lilial has lost her mind.
Returning to Alphine's office, Bam and company continue to look upon the giant Shadow Fox that has appeared behind them. Khun asks where the thing came from, but deduces that it must have been summoned by Alphine, which she answers to be the case. Alphine explains that the reason she was given the Shadow Girl nickname is because she always remains close to Kaiser as if she was a shadow of the warlord.
In addition, the Shadow Fox she controls is always with her to provide support. Alphine warns Bam and company that the shadow of her Shadow Fox can connect to enemy shadows at certain places. Once the Shadow Fox is connected to said enemy's shadow, the animal becomes immune to the attacks of the person it's connected to, and will devour away the enemy's shinsu until the enemy has none left. Alphine warns them that death will be the obvious result once all the shinsu has been drained, which shocks Bam and company. She then states that their conversation is better off ending here since she's come to the conclusion that none of them will be able to save Kaiser from her restraints.
At this point, she figures she has no choice but to kill them since they've made it this far despite the original plan being to steal their names, and send them off to the auction at the festival. Telling them all to go ahead and die now, Alphine orders her Shadow Fox to kill them, which it does so by charging at Bam and company.
Meanwhile, the fight between Endorsi and Lilial continues as the former manages to block another of the latter's kicks. Lilial scolds Endorsi yet again for talking so rudely claiming that the Lo Po Bia Princess has lost her mind. She asks if Endorsi is perhaps worried that Viole will actually lose to a Princess from the Lo Po Bia Family, which causes Endorsi to laugh finding it amusing that Lilial would actually believe that. Sending a barrage of kicks at Endorsi, Lilial asks what her relationship with Jue Viole Grace is supposed to be then if she's not actually a friend of the Slayer Candidate. However, Endorsi orders her to shut up about asking so many questions, and sends her fist at Lilial's head.
Lilial bends backward to evade Endorsi's punch as she counters with a kick asking once more what Endorsi is supposed to be if she's not friends with Viole. However, Endorsi evades it by teleporting backward using her Bong Bong fairy. The two of them re-establish themselves to stand opposite one another again as Endorsi asks how much more Lilial plans to keep up this useless fight. Endorsi points out how she figures that Lilial wants something from her, but points out to the Lo Po Bia Princess that no matter what, she's not going to get it since she can just simply teleport away using the Bong Bong fairy.
In return, Lilial laughs in agreement that she already understands this, and has been fighting not to catch her, or even do anything bad to Endorsi. She states that the only reason she's fighting at the moment is for her own pleasure, which confuses Endorsi. Lilial gives off a smile, and reveals that they actually came up with a different plan. Endorsi asks what she means by they, which Lilial answers that her twin sister, Shilial, is also currently on the move to steal away the other names of Team Shibisu. Elsewhere within the auction island, Hatz carrying Lauroe is seen encountering the second Lo Po Bia twin, Shilial. Creating a massive ball of shinsu energy, Lilial explains the plan to Endorsi that her twin sister is going to make the members of Team Shibisu into slaves using the rules of Name Hunt Station, and order them to tell the truth as to what Endorsi's with Jue Viole Grace truly is.
Lilial then sends the shinsu ball at Endorsi, who manages to evade it as Lilial now stands before her. The Lo Po Bia Princess claims that once Shilial has learned the truth, it will be Lilial that will join the festival fight, and come out the victor over the Slayer Candidate. Lilial threatens Endorsi that she's going to inform the Tower of Endorsi, a Jahad Princess, supposedly being in an inappropriate relationship with FUG's Jue Viole Grace. It will then be revealed that said secret was discovered, and dealt with, by the Twin Princesses of the Lo Po Bia Family. She asks Endorsi if the latter considers this to be the perfect plan, which Endorsi replies once more that she's crazy. Giving off a grin in agreement, Lilial thanks her.
At Hatz's location, he asks who the red-head girl blocking his way is since she doesn't appear to be one of the station's Ten Bosses. Shilial greets Hatz knowing he's one of Endorsi's friends, but points out that this is the first time the two have met one another. She then properly introduces herself to Hatz as Princess Shilial Jahad of the Lo Po Bia Family, and could technically be viewed as Endorsi's older sister.
The introduction shocks Hatz realizing that he's encountered one of the twin Princesses that got Endorsi stuck at Name Hunt Station, and is left wondering if Shilial being here means that Lilial is somewhere nearby. Seeing the swords in Hatz's possession, Shilial notes how she can tell that he's a swordsman, which catches his attention.
Shilial explains that she picked up a bit of sword fighting as a hobby when she was little, but stopped training in it due to having no talent. Summoning her Inventory Pocket, Shilial pulls out a pink sword, and asks if Hatz is willing to have a respectful fight for a minute against her with their lives on the line. Hatz replies that what Shilial is saying makes no sense, and asks if this is proof that all Jahad Princess are weird, which causes Shilial to laugh in agreement that people who are Jahad Princesses definitely come off a bit different than the average person.
Pointing her sword at Hatz, and beginning to summon a shinsu attack with it, Shilial warns Hatz that to some people, Jahad Princesses are a scary bunch. Preparing his sword in return, Hatz agrees that there probably are, which Shilial warns him that no one who's ever told her how scary she is has ever survived after their duel. She then warns Hatz to prepare himself as well as she sends a blast of shinsu from her sword in Hatz's direction.
At that same time back at Alphine's office, her Shadow Fox charges at the Bam, Khun, Gramon, and Yukan, group. Yukan asks why Alphine is including him to be killed off as well since they're both members of the Ten Bosses, which Alphine answers that he's not a station Boss anymore since he ended up getting defeated. Alphine also informs him that she can't let him live anymore now that he knows Kaiser's secret, which Yukan complains that it was Alphine who told him everything to begin with.
Yukan begs Alphine to let him live, and reveals that he always had a thing for her, but couldn't reveal his feelings since she was always near Kaiser. However, Alphine replies that this is more the reason to kill him, and states that he never should have told her this since it's just going to make her feel worse killing someone that had a crush on her.
Bam summons his Bangs to attack the Shadow Fox finding it surprising that Alphine has chosen to quickly dump a Boss teammate. Khun also supports with his lighthouses asking for Alphine to stop this nonsense since they don't plan on dying just because she demands it. The Bangs strike the Shadow Fox, but to Bam and company's surprise, they watch as the fox quickly regenerates its injuries. The Shadow Fox then goes in for a bite, and chomps down on Yukan. Bam prepares to support the Toxic Waste Human, but Khun warns him not to since there's no way to help Yukan at this point. He also points out that they have no legitimate reason to help Yukan.
Bam and company watch Yukan's struggle getting chomped on by Alphine's Shadow Fox, which Khun admits that she wasn't lying that their attacks have had no effect whatsoever to said fox. Yukan continues to scream out in pain as his body begins to evaporate into shinsu. Bam and Khun are left stunned to see Yukan's body disappearing, which Khun deduces that what Alphine said about the Shadow Fox devouring people's shinsu is correct, and that their attacks have had no effect on it. At this point, the last of Yukan's shinsu gets eaten by the Shadow Fox. which officially results in the Toxic Waste Human's death.
Khun figures that there must be some sort of weakness to deal with the invulnerable Shadow Fox, and quickly realizes that they just need to deal with the anime controlling it. He turns his attention to the office table, but sees that Alphine is already gone from the room. Seeing a scout observer left behind at Alphine's location, Khun deduces that the Alphine they've been talking to was nothing more than a phantom, and is forced to admit that the Shadow Girl has proven herself to be an incredibly talented scout since even he didn't notice that he was talking to a phantom.
Khun gives the order to make a break for the exit as he, Bam, and Gramon, run for the double door entrance, but end up getting blocked off by the Shadow Fox. He's left wondering what they're supposed to do at this point since the greatest weakness of a summoned animal, going after the anima, is already gone, and that it's become impossible to try to escape from such an enclosed room.
He figures that their only option is to locate the Tank controlling the Shadow Fox, but remains confused as to where Alphine hid it to keep the fox summoned while she's away. The Tank of which is a place made of a special type of shinsu where animas store their animals or divine sea fish. Kicking one of the office walls with his feet, Khun figures that they still have the option to make a hole out of the room.
However, Gramon informs him that it's impossible since the auction island is built by a Workshop substance that can't be destroyed by simple Regulars. Bam asks if Khun has thought of anything else, which Khun answers that there may be one if it's possible for Bam to gather all the shinsu in Alphine's office room using the power of the Thorn. The answer confuses Bam, which Khun explains that the Thorn has the power to take in shinsu from all the area surrounding it, so it should be possible to move the gathered shinsu to another place.
Bam answers that it may be possible, but remains confused as to why this will help their current situation. Khun answers that he's come up with a theory regarding the fact that animas always require some sort of Tank to keep their animals or creatures summoned. However, the biggest problem they're dealing with is that the Shadow Fox they're dealing with is here on its own despite no Tank being visible to them. As a result, Khun had come to the conclusion that the Tank for the Shadow Fox is actually the office room itself. Khun explains that if his theory is correct that Alphine's office is the Tank, then it would explain why the Shadow Fox is so unnaturally strong given that they're currently within the home of an anima's summoned animal. He also states that this would explain why no one has ever come out alive after Alphine lures intruders into the office room.
Khun gets to the point that if the office room acting as the anima Tank was to lose all its shinsu due to Bam's Thorn, then the room will no longer be able to function as said Tank, and will cause the Shadow Fox to die since there won't be any shinsu left for it to live on. Gramon objects to the idea claiming it makes no sense that an object exists that can gather up all the shinsu in an area, and also points out that even if there was, the lack of shinsu would end up killing them all anyway. However, Khun informs him that he already has the answer to take care of this problem, which shocks Gramon. Khun explains that by using one of his lighthouses, they're going to create another Tank for Alphine's Shadow Fox.
At another location away from the office room, Alphine is seen walking down one of the auction island tunnels. Since the festival is about to begin, Alphine thinks to herself that it's better to act like nothing has happened until this point. She figures that it's best to just keep things the way things are since her enemies didn't come up with an answer to free Kaiser. Alphine believes that this is what she lives for. To see Kaiser and her Grey Wolf family continue living, and running the course of Kaiser trying to get her family to finally forgive her by providing them money like usual. Alphine also thinks that this is her own atonement for what happened to Kaiser back then.
A moment later, Alphine hears a voice saying to her that she appears to have a lot on her mind. To her shock, she sees that Bam, Khun, and Gramon, have arrived at her location. Alphine asks how they got here, which Khun answers that they simply caught up by running, but were surprised in the end to see that Alphine didn't make it as far as they thought. She then asks how they escaped the Shadow Fox, which Khun shows off his lighthouse to her with said Shadow Fox stored within it. Alphine is left stunned in disbelief not understanding any of this, and asks how the hell they managed to trap her Shadow Fox within a lighthouse.
Khun answers that it was a simple process the moment he realized that the office room was the Tank for the Shadow Fox. He also states that since the Tank was too strong to break through physical force, their only open was to move the Tank to a lighthouse. Alphine asks what he means by moving the Tank, which Khun answers that they used a special skill to move all the shinsu within the office room to a lighthouse. Flashing back to the office room, Bam is seeing using the power of the Thorn to move all the shinsu into a lighthouse while Gramon and Khun hold back the advancing Shadow Wolf.
Explaining how their plan worked, Khun states that by moving all the shinsu in the office room to a lighthouse, the Shadow Wolf would have no choice but to follow the shinsu into the lighthouse in order to keep living. Basically, Khun was hoping for the Shadow Fox's basic animal instints to kick in for it to know that it wasn't going to live on unless it went into the new lighthouse Tank. In the end, it went according to plan as they watched the Shadow Fox go for the new lighthouse tank after all the office room's shinsu was gathered to it. Khun also points out that it was a danger to them as well trying to live in a room without shinsu, but reveals that he had a second lighthouse prepared that had shinsu within it that he, Bam, and Gramon, entered in order to survive.
Overall, Khun informs Alphine that it took two lighthouses to pull off this stunt, and that they exited out of the second lighthouse once the Shadow Fox entered the first, and was locked tight to keep it trapped within. Khun also admits that the stunt they just pulled was a dangerous one, and that any one of them could have died if the timing was off a bit. Alphine points out that there's still a flaw in their plan regarding how they opened the locked double door into the office room after she locked it from the outside.
Khun answers that he already figured the door was going to be locked once they entered. He reveals that they left a couple named station Regulars near the room so that they would open the door once they were contacted to do so. Afterwards, all that was left was to refill the room with shinsu again so that they could leave safely.
Khun continues to explain that the named Regulars on their side managed to spot Alphine running away from the office room, and contacted them to inform Bam and company of the Shadow Girl's current location. Given the amount of named Regulars who contacted Khun, he warns Alphine that there's a lot more people she ever would have imagined that appear to hold grudges against Kaiser and the Ten Bosses.
With his explanation over, Khun states that they will keep thinking of a way to save Kaiser, but asks if Alpine is satisfied with this since they managed to break free from the shackles of her office room that was acting as a Tank for her Shadow Fox. He asks once more for Alphine to tell them how to reach Kaiser's Gallery island, which leaves the Shadow Girl stunned in silence unable to believe what has just happened.
Alphine asks if what she just heard was correct, but states that she's not going to tell them so easily just because they escaped her Tank trap. Pulling out a small needle weapon, Alphine aims at her own neck claiming that she would rather kill herself, but Bam quickly performs the freezing Bang on her to stop her movements, which shocks Alphine realizing that she's encountered someone who can use reverse flow control. Bam begins to slowly walk towards the frozen Alphine stating that he expected from the beginning that she wasn't going to tell him, but is at a point where he needs to force her to reveal the location since they don't have the time to go around gathering all the names of the Ten Bosses to greet Kaiser the normal way. Walking up next to Alphine, Bam admits that he feels sorry about Kaiser's current situation.
However, Bam states that her rough life is no justification for what she's done to others at Name Hunt Station. He informs Alphine that if he had the choice to either save Kaiser, or destroy a place that has caused others immense pain, he would choose to destroy the Name Hunt Station without hesitation. Placing his hand on Alphine's back, Bam says to her that he doesn't care if his choice is right or wrong, and that he only knows for sure that Kaiser and the Ten Bosses have harmed his friends. The announcement is made that Jue Viole Grace has made contact with Alphine's body, and has begun the name-stealing process.
Seconds 10 and 9 pass by as Bam continues to speak to Alphine that he's going to do what he has to do here. As second 8 passes, he warns Alphine that if a tragedy was to occur at this very moment for Kaiser and anyone who follows her, it's the fault of no one else but themselves. Second 7 passes as the frozen Alphine remains stuck in place until the time comes that her name is eventually stolen by Bam. Meanwhile within Kaiser's Gallery chamber, the warlord remains alone thinking about her past.
Kaiser thinks back to when she was a child, and ran to her mother before the entire Grey Wolf faction was taking away for punishment due to Kaiser's failure to be chosen as a Jahad Princess. She begs her mother to tell her what's going on, and asks if this was all her fault due to failing the love test.
In return, Kaiser's mother asks why her daughter did this to them behaving so carelessly, which confuses Kaiser. Her mother yells at Kaiser asking why her daughter couldn't resist such a silly fling, and went about doing something so stupid when honor for the Grey Wolk Family was there right in front of her.
Unable to say anything back, Kaiser listens to her mother continue to yell at her stating that she raised her daughter waiting for this moment to finally become a Jahad Princess, and yet it's now all ruined due to this love disaster. She asks her daughter how she could betray the family like this doing something so foolish, which causes Kaiser to grab hold of her mother, and apologizes for what she did. Kaiser states that it's all her fault, and will repay the Grey Wolf faction for this sin until she finally dies.
Returning to the present, Kaiser is left wondering why she's now all of a sudden thinking about her past. Hearing a beeping sound, Kaiser realizes that she's received a message on her Pocket from Alphine.
Reading the message, Alphine apologizes for her failure warning Kaiser that she had her name taken away, and that a group led by Viole is now heading for the escalator that connects the auction island with the Gallery island. Meanwhile, Bam, Khun, and Gramon, are seen running down an auction island tunnel towards the escalator to the Gallery island.
Bam states that it's quite a relief that Alphine gave them the path to Kaiser's Gallery, which Khun answers that she didn't have a choice given that the rules of Name Hunt Station forced her as the servant to obey her master, who's now considered to be Viole. Bam admits that he understands this, but could tell that Alphine was still struggling to reveal the information.
Minutes beforehand after Bam stole away Alphine's name, she finishes inputting the path to Kaiser's Gallery island into Khun's lighthouse. She informs Bam and company that as long as they follow the path she just provided them, they will reach the escalator that connects the auction island to the Gallery island. Bam thanks her for doing this, which Alphine admits that it was a surprise to her that Viole ordered her not to die the moment he became her new master. In return, Bam replies that he caught on that he wasn't going to be able to get the information out of Alphine if she was going to continue trying to kill herself the moment he released her from the freezing Bang.
Bam also states to Alphine that he's never been a fan of seeing people die in front of him. The answer confuses Alphine, who replies that she can't tell if Bam is someone that's either nice or scary. She also tells Bam to go ahead and try to face Kaiser since now knowing the path to Kaiser isn't going to resolve any of the issues they're currently facing. Alphine then states that Kaiser and her will consider this their destiny to lose if Viole and company manage to bypass all their impossible obstacles and come out the winner, but warns Bam that such an ending will be impossible for them.
Back to the present, and getting closer to the escalator, Bam asks what Khun believes Alphine meant by this being impossible for them. Khun answers that Alphine probably believes they won't be able to win against Kaiser since the station leader seems to be hiding some kind of special ability from them. He also warns Bam that there's probably traps along the path to Kaiser that Alphine believes may end up screwing them over. Khun complains that he can't figure these people out, because if he was put in their current situation, he never would have chosen to be a slave, and stand by taking orders from someone else for 1000 years.
Bam replies that Kaiser's way of thinking was most likely to do this hoping that she would finally regain recognition from the Grey Wolf Family, which Khun asks back how hoping family recognition will finally happen will resolve anything. As they continue running towards the escalator, Bam figures that Kaiser is probably someone who hasn't enjoyed doing any of this since the main issue is that the lives of her Grey Wolf Family are on the line if she doesn't act as the warlord of Name Hunt Station. Khun complains once more that family recognition doesn't matter at this point since they've just been using her to obtain and waste away lots of money.
He yells out that Kaiser's poor mindset is why she's remained stuck at Name Hunt Station like this. Seeing the end of the tunnel, Khun says to Bam that for now instead of worrying about how to save Kaiser, they should only worry about two other important things, which is to steal Kaiser's name, and save Endorsi's life, which Bam agrees with. At the end of the tunnel, they see the escalator up to Kaiser's Gallery, but are left shocked to see Shibisu standing at the bottom of it, who greets Bam and company. Holding a ball similar to one of Wangnan's shinsu bombs, Shibisu congratulates Bam and company for making it this far.
Bam asks how Shibisu made it here before them while Khun asks how he knew about the auction island escalator up to the Gallery island, which Shibisu answers that they shouldn't be looking down on him since he's not only the best scout around, but is also the leader of the powerful Team Shibisu. Giving off a smile, Shibisu adds that he would have told Bam's group about the escalator if they cooperated with Team Shibisu beforehand, and yet they had to go through so much trouble in the end by choosing not to do so. At this point, Khun notices the ball in Shibisu's hand, and asks what the latter plans to do with it. Showing the ball off to Bam and company, Shibisu explains that it's one of the pokéballs that have become quite popular nowadays.
In return, Khun orders him to stop joking around since it's obviously a shinsu bomb. Khun asks again why he's holding a bomb, which Shibisu jokes that he wants to be a Pokémon Go Master, which enrages Khun to the point of ordering Shibisu to stop making references to Pokémon Go already. Shibisu answers once more that it's just a joke, and reminds Bam and company that if he was to let them pass, it will become difficult for Team Shibisu. They quickly realize what Shibisu is planning as Khun asks what he's going to do with the shinsu bomb he's holding. Shibisu says to Bam and Khun that at this very moment, Endorsi and Hatz don't know that he's decided to appear at the base of the escalator up to Kaiser's Gallery. He reveals to them that Endorsi is currently locked in a close-combat fight with Lilial while Hatz is seen engaged in a sword duel with Shilial.
Shibisu informs Bam and company that his teammates are currently fighting hard for a greater good to the point of putting their lives in danger. Shibisu continues to speak that Bam and company have chosen to go after Kaiser's name despite knowing that Endorsi's life is at risk if she doesn't take the name for herself. He admits that he gets why Bam's side has chosen not to help them, but was left a bit disappointed as a result.
Shibisu informs Bam and company that as the leader of Team Shibisu, he needs to put the safety of his team before friends such as Bam and Khun. As a result, he can't let them reach Kaiser. Throwing the shinsu bomb up into the air, Shibisu states that he's been unable to come up with an answer for this, and has found it unbelievable that they're actually fighting over trying to steal away Kaiser's name. He asks Khun and Bam if they have any ideas to resolve this since the only answer he was able to come up with is that he has no choice but to stand against his friends to keep them from reaching Kaiser.
Khun quickly orders Bam to use the freezing Bang to stop the shinsu bomb from falling, but Shibisu informs them that shinsu bombs are objects that can't be stopped by reverse flow control, which shocks Khun. Shibisu states that he believes Khun and Bam will find a way to resolve this that he was unable to, which causes Khun to yell out in anger that he's going to kill Shibisu if they make it through this. Unable to do anything, Bam and company are forced to watch the shinsu bomb explode behind Shibisu, which destroys the escalator. Bam, Khun, and Gramon, remain stunned seeing the escalator go up in flames as Shibisu asks what Khun plans to do now. In return, Khun asks what the hell Shibisu is trying to pull here.
Returning to Hatz's location, his sword fight with Shilial continues as the two go about blocking one another's swings. Shilial admits how impressive this turned out to be that Hatz is managing to block her attacks despite not being from the Ten Great Families, but scolds him for not using any dignified skills. However, Hatz yells at her to not act so ridiculous since her words are nothing but bias from being born in a noble family. Chargin at Shilial, Hatz yells that at the very least, Endorsi is someone who doesn't have any prejudices.
Shilial blocks Hatz's sword once more, and claims that it's obvious Endorsi isn't like them as she's never been a noble like other Jahad Princesses. Hatz remains shocked seeing that Shilial was able to brush aside his charge so quickly as she counters by knocking him back with a blast of shinsu. After getting knocked back, Hatz takes a look at his sword, and realizes that his current weapon has reached its limit since it's begun to crack.
Feeling like there's some kind of misunderstanding here, Shilial informs Hatz that she doesn't actually despise Endorsi unlike her sister, Lilial, who hates her guts for some reason. Shilial states that she would acknowledge Endorsi as a Jahad Princess if she chose to act like one, and yet she hasn't been doing so. She reminds Hatz of how Endorsi has chosen to climb the tower with Anaak Jahad, the fake Jahad Princess who's considered a shame of the Jahad Family, and has also carelessly fell for a small provocation just recently that resulted in her losing her name at Name Hunt Station.
Adding to that is the fact that there now seems to be some kind of friendship going on between a Jahad Princess and a Slayer Candidate. As a result, Shilial says that it's started to make her wonder if Endorsi is someone who truly deserves the Jahad Princess title. She then points out how if Hatz was truly considerate of Endorsi, he would help sever her ties with Anaak and Viole since in the end, giving her Jahad Princess status, she's going to end up fighting them in the end anyway.
Having heard Shilial's speech, Hatz admits that there may be some truth to the fact that Endorsi is destined to fight the people she's decided to climb the Tower with, which confuses Shilial. Pulling out a new sword, Hatz states that despite that destiny, they're all still friends in the end despite the fact that there are times where they will argue, fight, and not agree with one another. He makes it clear to Shilial that they're not going to fight each other just because they're being told by someone else to do it.
Shilial remains confused as to what kind of sword it is that Hatz is pulling out as the swordsman states once more that he knows it's probably true that Endorsi is destined to fight Jue Viole Grace. However, he adds that if he was told by someone that destiny is forcing him to fight a friend, then he would choose to fight destiny instead. As Hatz continues to pull the sword out of its sheath, golden sparks of shinsu are seen swarming all around it.
Back to the Gallery chamber, Kaiser looks over Alphine's last Pocket message reassuring the station leader not to worry since Viole's group is headed for the escalator. Kaiser thinks things over knowing that Alphine had become Viole's servant, and was forced to obey his order to provide the path to the Gallery.
She figures that there's no doubt that Alphine had to reveal the correct escalator that leads up to the Gallery island. However, Kaiser realizes that Alphine didn't have to tell Viole's group about the trap set halfway up a escalator. A bomb that will go off when someone gets near it.
Thinking things over, Kaiser states to herself that there's only one true way to reach the Gallery Island, which is to ride the only station transport that was specially designed to have a route inputted into it that leads to Kaiser's Gallery. Seeing that Viole's group isn't doing this, Kaiser concludes that they will all die off soo enough realizing too late that the escalator path was a bomb trap. However, she's left wondering why Alphine took it upon herself to try to kill off Viole's group at the escalator trap rather than just send them up to Kaiser so that she can deal with them herself. Believing that Viole is officially out of the picture, Kaiser is left wondering if Endorsi and her team are the only ones left to deal with.
Kaiser wonders if forcing Endorsi out of her Jahad Princess status will be enough for the Grey Wolf Family to give her a second chance, and allow her to finally live with the branch family again. She then questions how much longer she will have to remain at Name Hunt Station for this to finally happen. A moment later however, the wall of the Gallery explodes behind Kaiser as Bam is now seen standing on a platform behind Kaiser. The station warlord turns around in confusion wondering what just happened, and is shocked to see Jue Viole Grace standing at the top of her massive chamber chair. Behind Bam, the transport Kaiser was thinking about as the only method to reach the Gallery island is seen floating behind Bam with Khun and Gramon riding on it.
Looking down at Kaiser, Bam states like before that he's come to steal her name away. Seeing Bam before her leaves Kaiser confused wondering how Viole managed to make it here alive avoiding the escalator trap. At said escalator, which is now up in flames, Shibisu remains alone having provided Bam, Khun, and Gramon, the true means to reach Kaiser's Gallery island. He's left hoping that Bam and Khun don't mess this up.
Back to Kaiser's chamber, Bam continues to look down at her, which Kaiser asks how he managed to make it here alive when the last thing she heard was that Viole's group was going up the escalator trap. Khun answers for Bam that they got lucky thanks to the fact that they ran into Shibisu before getting on it. He also adds that Shibisu had quite a scheme planned out all for the sake of defeating Kaiser, which explains why Shibisu has been acting so cocky lately. Looking down at Kaiser as well, Khun asks her how it feels knowing that the title she's been guarding for the past 1000 years is now about to be taken away from her.
Khun also gloats that if he was in Kaiser's current situation, he would just accept the fate of finally being defeated here. The mention of fate causes Kaiser to call all of this a joke knowing that Alphine must have told Viole and company a bit about her tragic past. She orders Viole to get rid of any sympathy he may of developed towards her as a result of it, and points out that she doesn't deserve any ounce of sympathy knowing the disgusting actions she's been performing at Name Hunt Station. Standing up to prepare for battle, Kaiser announces that she's the peak of all evil that exists at Name Hunt Station, and warns Viole that he'll be in trouble if he doesn't come at her at full force. Bam drops down to Kaiser's location, but before they fight, he asks her to promise to do a certain favor if he wins their duel, which catches Kaiser's attention.
Meanwhile at a hidden auction island location, Lulu of the Ten Bosses is seen impatiently sitting next to the gray hostage container holding Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa. Lulu falls to the floor out of boredom, and complains that he would rather have stated in his watery hiding place rather than guard a location that no one is going to be able to find. The station Boss thinks to itself that Viole's rescue groups must be searching throughout the auction island for the hostages, but haven't realized that Kaiser's side caught on to the fact that information on the auction item locations were leaked to some of the station Regulars. As a result, Kaiser and the Ten Bosses have decided to move this festival's auction items to a completely different location. Lulu calls out Viole and company as a group of suckers believing that their current search will do them no good until the hostages get sold off at the festival auction.
In addition, Viole's teammates will end up all getting slaughtered like dogs once they come across their trump card, Inieta. However, an alarm on Lulu's lighthouse begins to go off, which catches the station Boss' attention. The lighthouse informs Lulu that a group of intruders have just subdued some of their servants, and is now only 500 meters away from their current location. Looking at the video on his lighthouse, Lulu is showed to see the Hwaryun, Boro, Sachi, and Nobic group getting close to the hostage location. The shocked Lulu remains confused as to how they managed to find this place since only it and Kaiser are supposed to be the only ones that know about it.
On the side of Hwaryun's rescue team, Boro informs the group that they appear to be getting closer to the location where the hostages are being held, which Nobic is glad to hear. Boro then looks back at Hwaryun, and admits to himself that he didn't know what to expect since she just popped out of nowhere back at Train City, but is amazed at how incredible a guide is since she was able to locate the hostages so easily. Entering into a large open room, Boro suggest for the rescue group to rescue the hostages as soon as possible so that Bam can relax better for the fight against Kaiser, which Nobic agrees with. However, Hwaryun's rescue group is greeted by someone within the large room, who states how surprising it is that some of Viole's companions managed to reach a place they shouldn't have been able to find.
Boro asks who this new guy is supposed to be seeing a large man wearing a gray face mask blocking their way. The man with the mask states that he should have expected it to turn out this way given that he's dealing with a group of enemies that defeated his brother, Hesse. Boro asks if the man is referring to the station Boss that was defeated by Ran from Team Nobic, which the man answers to be the case, and that he's known as Hesse's older brother, J.M.
J.M. explains that he and Hesse climbed the Tower together after being chosen as Regulars, but ended up getting themselves trapped at Name Hunt Station. He adds that he figured their new life was perfectly established at this point since Hesse was able to rise from the low station ranks to become one of the Ten Bosses. However, that was all ruined after Team Nobic suddenly showed up, and took everything away that Hesse had built up for the two of them. A gray substance is seen covering up J.M. as he announces to the Hwaryun rescue team that he's now going to avenge his brother.
Nobic remembers how Hesse was a user of dirt, and asks if J.M's ability is some sort of chocolate cream, which J.M. quickly rejects, and states that he's actually known as the Steel Human. He warns the rescue team that his steel body is tougher than anything, and that they won't be able to damage him. Beginning to spin himself, J.M. next warns Hwaryun and company that after turning his body into steel, it can also be used as a powerful weapon. J.M's steel tail spins around him as well as he charges directly into Nobic.
Attempting to hold back J.M's charge, Nobic realizes that he won't be able to fully absorb the attack since J.M. strengthened his charge by spinning his steel tail like a top. J.M. ends up smashing Nobic into a nearby wall as the Steel Human next begins to walk towards the rest of the rescue group to fight his next opponent. However, Boro informs J.M. that there's still an opponent behind the Steel Human that needs to be defeated. The shocked J.M. turns out to see what Boro is talking about, but is suddenly greeted by an enraged Nobic smashing the Steel Human in the face with a Hayeol Style: Red Spirit Punch.
Watching Nobic use the Red Spirit Punch several more times on J.M, Sachi notes that Nobic has just proven himself as a strong companion. However, he adds that Nobic appears to also be someone that has serious anger management issues. Hwaryun orders Nobic to stop venting his anger out on an irrelevant opponent, and states to the group that they should get going since they're close to the hostages.
Walking to the next tunnel beyond J.M's large room, the rescue team is left wondering if the guy really was a chocolate cream man or not. Behind them, the steam from the destroyed J.M. is left behind.
Moments later, Hwaryun's rescue team enters the room of the gray hostage container where station Boss Lulu is seen awaiting their arrival. Lulu asks how they managed to find this location so easily, and figures that there must have been a traitor amongst Kaiser's ranks. The station Boss questions if someone amongst the Ten Bosses betrayed them like the jerk Yukan, who always looked at Alphine in a strange way. However, Sachi informs Lulu that there were no traitors providing them information.
Looking behind him, Sachi points Lulu to Hwaryun as she was all they needed to know percisely where to go, which stuns Lulu. Refusing to believe Sachi's words, Lulu creates a shinsu bubble attack, and sends it towards Hwaryun and company claiming that they should just die off if they're not going to explain how they got here. Lulu warns the rescue team that they will suffocate to death if they get trapped by the bubbles, but Sachi steps forward, and instantly destroys Lulu's bubble attack by summoning his thorn vines. He replies back to Lulu that the bubble attack is useless as long as it's destroyed before they get caught up by them.
Lulu is left stunned seeing his bubble attack destroyed in one hit, and is forced to admit that this proves how strong Sachi is as one of the top-3 D-rankers. However, Lulu gives off a laugh, and places a hand on the gray hostage container.
The station Boss orders the rescue team to not deceive themselves thinking that they've reached the end, which confuses Hwaryun and company. Lulu explains that there's a reason Kaiser stationed it at the hostage container. That as long as Lulu remains here, there will be no way for Viole's hostage friends to be rescued.
Explaining how it originates from an Underwater Da'an Clan, Lulu explains that it has the ability to change shinsu in certain areas from water to oxygen, as well as vice versa. As a result, Lulu has the ability to make an oxygen bubble around its head to forever survive under water.
However, Lulu threatens the rescue team by asking what will happen within the hostage container if he was to swap the oxygen shinoo within it to become water. Lulu states that the obvious result will be that the hostages will all drown, which shocks Boro, who finally realizes what Lulu is up to.
Boro yells at Lulu to stop this, which causes Lulu to laugh, and orders them to not get any closer if they don't wish for Viole's companions to die. Pointing the rescue team in the direction of the yellow symbol on the gray container, Lulu also points out that even if they manage to get by Lulu, they won't be able to destroy it since it's a container that was developed by Workshop. Adding to that, the yellow symbol on the hostage container is a seal lock that can only be opened using a key that Variel Vani of the Ten Bosses has possession of.
Lulu gloats that in the end, they will never be able to get the Key from Variel the Key Man since said station Boss has hidden himself within a room somewhere that can never be opened since he used his own key to lock said room while he remains inside it. However, Hwaryun holds up a small gold key on her finger, and asks if this is perhaps the key that Lulu is referring to.
The sight of the key leaves Lulu stunned as it asks how she has already managed to obtain the key for the hostage container, which Hwaryun answers that they stole it away from the guy (Variel), who was covered in keys. Hwaryun's answer shocks Lulu, who's left wondering if the rescue group somehow managed to find Variel, and steal the key away.
Lulu finds such a result to be possible wondering if Variel was perhaps the traitor amongst Kaiser's ranks, but remembers that that's not possible either since no one would have been able to speak to Variel while the Key Man remained locked in his hidden room. Confused as to what's going on, Lulu tries to put together just who this Hwaryun girl is that its currently dealing with.
Hwaryun states to Lulu that it was an interesting idea hearing about the possibility of a room she wouldn't be able to find. However, she scolds Lulu that no matter what, a room can't be completely hidden within the Tower. At best, they can just be very hard to find. Hwaryun also informs Lulu that she can find any room that's supposedly hidden within the Tower, and that Variel the Key Man's greatest weakness was that the room he was hiding in couldn't be locked from the inside (implying that someone opened the door for Hwaryun's rescue group). At Variel's room somewhere within the auction island, the station boss, as well as his servants, are all seen lying defeated on the floor. Variel complains that the girl they just fought (Hwaryun) was a complete monster.
Continuing to speak to Lulu, Hwaryun tells the station boss that the God of the Tower will never give an absolute ability to anyone, even when it comes to just trying to hide from someone. Lulu remains silent unable to believe what's going on as Hwaryun asks it what the station Boss plans to do next.
However, she warns said station boss that they will go about finding the right path to bypass Lulu once more. She then points out that to the rescue group, it appears that Lulu has already decided on the next choice.
Returning to Kaiser's chamber, Bam finishes explaining his wish to Kaiser if he comes out the winner of their duel, which Kaiser promises to do, but points out that she doesn't understand how this will benefit Viole in any way. Bam thanks her for accepting the promise, which Kaiser replies that there's no need for it since she doesn't plan on losing their duel anyway. At this point, Khun gets a message on his lighthouse from a person he labeled as the Annoying Red-head, which is Hwaryun. The guide informs Khun that her side has saved the hostages, and orders him to make sure that Bam keeps his promise, which grabs Khun's attention.
Khun calls out to Bam to inform him that Hwaryun has saved Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa, which excites Bam. The announcement leaves Kaiser stunned as to how they found the hostages since they were supposed to be hidden at a location that could never be found. Khun also mentions that Hwaryun asked to make sure that Bam keeps his promise, which Bam accepts, and breathes a sigh of relief. Turning his attention back to Kaiser, Bam states that there's no reason to hold back now, and will go all-out in this duel just as Kaiser requested. He states to Kaiser that he has a lot riding on this duel, which Kaiser replies that she does as well. Watching Bam and Kaiser, Khun remembers how the latter was once up for being selected as the next Jahad Princess, which means that Kaiser will be in a league above the D-rank Regular class in addition to having 1000 years of growth under her belt.
However, he figures that Bam will be able to keep up in the fight given that he not only has the power of the Thorn, but the strength of a billion souls within him as well. Khun deduces that what the showdown will come down to is how much Kaiser's hidden abilities will play a part. Activating the Thorn, Bam is the first to charge forward as the fight against Kaiser begins.
Summoning shinsu within his left palm, Bam uses the Ha Jinsung Style Piercing Technique: Crimson Flame skill to attempt to strike at Kaiser, which she blocks using her Armor Inventory. However, to Kaiser's shock, she witnesses Bam's Crimson Flame attack pierce through the Armor Inventory as Bam is now staring right at her point blank. Bam next goes in for a low kick, which Kaiser dodges by jumping into the air. Continuing the attack, Bam sends a kick into the air, which Kaiser once more manages to evade.
Going for another attack, Bam next utilizes the Yu Hansung Shinsu Control Technique: Dragon's Breath skill to send five powerful Bangs at Kaiser. She moves her Armor Inventory once more to block the Dragon's Breath attack, which forces her to admit that Viole has very impressive strength. Kaiser goes over how Viole is fighting with such refined physical combat and shinsu skills that it's making her doubt if he's just a mere Regular. She thinks that she would love to pay her respects to whoever it was that taught Viole such skills. Kaiser concludes that the boy she's currently fighting is someone that FUG must be putting their entire heart and soul into refining as if he's a rough gemstone with a lot of future potential. Standing opposite one another again, Bam says to her that he's not able to understand the kind of person Kaiser is, which confuses her.
Bam asks why she's chosen to remain stuck at Name Hunt Station simply to be used by her Grey Wolf family. He points out that Kaiser has the skills to make herself into a remarkable Tower Ranker if she had just chosen to leave her family, and climb the Tower without them. Bam continues to question why Kaiser is choosing to stay when she should already know that her continued work here has done no good. He asks if it's all for the sake of her Grey Wolf family, but Kaiser interrupts by stating that the way Bam speaks isn't like a FUG Slayer Candidate, which confuses Bam.
Kaiser explains that since Viole is the rising star of FUG, he's someone who should understand that she received a lot of love from her family growing up. She states how she remembers the warm hands of her family taking care of her as a child. Hands that were filled with awe and consideration. However, Kaiser points out that she grew up taking that love from her family for granted. She states how she once thought that everyone within the Grey Wolf faction should continue looking after her, and that they should always forgive, and support, her no matter how immature she acted. However, Kaiser soon realized the truth that she was considered a really special person for the Grey Wolves.
Continuing her story, Kaiser explains that there was a reason she received endless love and affection from the family compared to other Regular kids around Kaiser's age. Kaiser realized that it was because compared to the other kids, who were considered the losers, she was the one who came out the winner. The catch that Kaiser didn't realize back then was that by being considered the winner, a heavy responsibility ended up falling on her shoulders. She asks if it's not the same thing for Viole. That as time goes on, he's going to have to take responsibility for all the people within FUG as their next Slayer Candidate.
Pulling out her Invisible Inventory, Kaiser continues to speak by telling Bam that there's no such thing as unconditional love within this world. She asks how someone can be considered a human being if they don't pay a price for the love that one was given. Khun warns Bam that the latter is now going to be dealing with invisible weapons, which Bam replies that he understands. As Bam senses Kaiser's weapons coming towards him, he admits that he can't see them. However, the fact that he can sense them is enough as he summons his shinsu platform to begin dodging the invisible attacks by flying around the room. Bam continues to fly around dodging every weapon he senses, which causes Kaiser to admit that Viole truly is remarkable, and wonders if something in his mind is allowing him to sense where the invisible attacks are about to hit.
Kaiser states to Bam that she's going to defend Name Hunt Station until her family finally forgives her. She explains that others may view her in disagreement that this is the only reason as to why she's chosen to stay in one place for 1000 years. However, Kaiser adds that she feels that this place suits her better than anywhere else. To serve as a fake emperor of a simple Hell Train station without having to worry about anything else in the Tower.
Kaiser continues to speak that there was time when she was little that she felt like every living thing around her was a blessing. She saw everything as overwhelmingly beautiful and happy, and even began to dance with herself at times without even realizing it. However, that was all that expense of the many people beneath her. Kaiser states that after realizing that, she now understands her surroundings very clearly. That she knows people are suffering beneath her at Name Hunt Station, and that her Grey Wolf family has been living in luxury as a result of it. Kaiser leaves off saying to Viole that her actions may look strange, but she knows full well what she's been doing.
Bam continues to dodge each invisible weapon, and deduces that no matter where he moves, there's no chance to go on the offensive. He admits that he can sense a hole through the attacks of the invisible weapons, but is not going for it, because his intuition is telling him that it's an obvious trap set up by Kaiser baiting him to try to attack. In return, Kaiser confirms that Jue Viole Grace has good instincts despite the fact that she's purposefully clearing an opening in her invisible weapons. She says to Viole that until her Grey Wolf family forgives her, she's not going to hand her name over to anyone. Preparing an attack, Kaiser thinks to herself that she will end the fight herself if Viole's not going to choose to take the bait.
At that same time within the auction island maze, a moment of pause takes place after an explosion had occurred between Ran and Inieta's attacks. Holding onto his major stomach injury, Inieta sits by breathing heavily in exhaustion, and says to himself that he thought he was a goner based on that last attack. However, Ran is seen nearby continuing to stand up, and admits that Inieta is a damn strong one since anyone else would have been turned to dust after getting struck by that last attack.
The enraged Inieta calls out Ran as a cheap bastard for pulling that explosion stunt with Sia and Dan despite this being a one-on-one duel, but Ran points out that Inieta is an idiot for deciding on his own that it was a one-on-one fight. The comment irritates Inieta even further claiming that this is why he hates Ran compared to the fiery taste that Rak had. At this point, Dan and Sia reappear as well, which they inform Ran that they've just been wasting their time here. They explain to Ran that Hwaryun's rescue group has already found the hostages, and that they were hidden in a completely difference place from their current location.
Dan states how remarkable it is witnessing how tough Inieta turned out to be having survived through that last explosion against Ran. He figures it has something to do with being a member of the Great Arie Family, and asks if Inieta really is someone that lost to Kaiser, and became one of the station Bosses. Dan asks if Inieta losing previously is proof that Kaiser is a strong opponent, which Inieta answers that there was indeed a time he fought against her in the past after hearing the rumors of a really strong warrior at Name Hunt Station. However, as they're witnessing now, he ended up getting himself stuck at said station.
Inieta states that Kaiser is indeed really powerful, but isn't his type, which confuses Ran and company. The Arie Family member explains that you just end up getting a strange feeling before going up against Kaiser that no matter what, you're destined to lose against here. Ran, Dan, and Sia, remain confused by what Inieta means by that, which Inieta answers that the rules of Name Hunt Station are always in her favor, and that she had been provided the most ultimate tools, such as the Invisible and Armor Inventories, from her family to battle against her enemies. Add in the fact that she's already a talented genius, and you'll have someone who knows how to use those tools to their best effectiveness.
Stating once more that Kaiser is powerful, Inieta adds that Kaiser comes off to him as someone who will only show her true abilities when she's stripped of everything that has made her the warlord of Name Hunt Station. However, he ended up not being strong enough in his own fight against Kaiser to make her reach that point. Inieta explains that the reason he lost was because he couldn't keep up with her abilities to the point of wearing her down, which catches Ran and company's attention. He reveals to Ran, Dan, and Sia, that one of the hidden abilities he got to witness against Kaiser was her anima creature, Fenryl.
Returning to the fight between Bam and Kaiser, the former continues to dodge the latter's invisible weapons as the station warlord orders Fenryl to appear before her. A giant wolf appears before Bam, which catches him by surprise. Khun and Gramon are left stunned in shock not knowing where the wolf was suddenly summoned from as Kaiser orders Fenryl to rip the Slayer Candidate to shreds. However, Gramon starts to think that he may of heard of Fenryl from somewhere before.
Back to Inieta, he explains to Ran and company that Fenryl is some sort of spirit wolf that doesn't even require an anima Tank to keep summoned in battle. He points out that he doesn't know himself what Fenryl is exactly, but figures that it most likely has something to do with a special talent that was passed down within Kaiser's family. Inieta also warns Ran, Dan, and Sia, that the spirit wolf is something that can't even be tracked on a lighthouse until the moment it finally appears. However, he warns Ran and company that he knows one thing is for certain. That once someone is bitten by Fenryl, there will no longer be a way to defeat Kaiser.
Meanwhile at the Bam and Kaiser fight, Bam is left stunned in disbelief that the Fenryl wolf managed to chomp down on his left arm as blood begins spilling from it. Knowing that Fenryl managed to bite her opponent, Kaiser figures that this fight against the Slayer Candidate is officially over. Khun calls out to Bam hoping he's ok as Bam sends a blast of shinsu at Fenryl. However, Bam is left confused seeing that Fenryl disappeared before his attack could hit the wolf.
Bam returns to the floor, but blood continues to pour out of his left arm due to it being bit by Fenryl. Khun asks once more if Bam is ok given that he can see the injured left arm, which Bam answers that he's fine, and asks for Khun to continue staying out of the fight as it could end it turning into something dangerous if more people get involved. Khun uses the next moments to think things over wondering what the Fenryl wolf was, and figures that it was probably the hidden power that Kaiser was supposedly hiding up her sleeve. Looking at the bite holes in Bam's left arm, Khun finds it unbelievable how powerful the Fenryl's jaw was having witnessed the wolf being able to bite into someone using shinsu enhancement on the body.
Fenryl stands next to Kaiser as she states how surprised she is to see that Viole's arm wasn't completely ripped off. She points out how Viole's body is a lot sturdier than she was originally thinking, and asks if it's some sort of shinsu upgrade given that Viole doesn't appear to be someone originating from the Ten Great Families. Bam asks about the wolf now beside her, which Kaiser answers that it's her pet wolf known as Fenryl.
Kaiser explains that her Fenryl wolf is technically not a living creature, but is actually one of the animal spirits that has been passed down to each generation within her Grey Wolf family. She also adds that there's only a small number of people within said family that can inherit the wolf spirit. Bam asks what she means by wolf spirit, which Kaiser answers that Fenryl is a gift that only a few Grey Wolf members of the Lo Po Bia Family are born with. Given that this makes her a special type of anima Regular, Kaiser states that the ability to use Fenryl is the precise reason that she was up to become a Jahad Princess.
Getting back to their current fight, Kaiser explains that Fenryl's teeth are so powerful that they can break the skin of people on the Ranker level. She also warns Viole that a bite from Fenryl can't be healed unless she allows it, or if the user of Fenryl dies, which means that Viole's left arm injury will continue to bleed out. The revelation shocks Bam, which Kaiser explains that the reason the wound won't heal is because it's a special spell within Fenryl's teeth that keeps wounds forever bleeding. Kaiser then warns Viole that if he continues to move in his current state, he will lose even more blood to the point of possibly dying from excessive blood loss.
Khun asks if Kaiser is serious about how Fenryl works, which Gramon states that his earlier suspicion was correct. Gramon explains that he heard it from one of his companions once who got to witness Kaiser in a fight. That Kaiser has command of some mysterious animal. Khun asks why Gramon didn't tell them about this beforehand, and asks if he knows of the trick to beat it, which Gramon answers that the only way is to defeat Kaiser, but doesn't have any other information since he's only heard about it. The answer disappoints Khun, who finds Gramon to be useless.
Gramon continues to speak that this fight has become a huge disadvantage for Viole since his left arm wound isn't going to heal. He states that if the fight continues to drag on, the wound will bleed out to the point that Viole's physical stamina will drop drastically. Gramon figures that this is probably what Kaiser is aiming for so that Viole tires himself out to the point where it will be easy to steal away his name, which Gramon admits that he's beginning to understand just how Kaiser has been able to beat all her opponents until this point. Beginning to remember something else, Gramon warns Khun that he heard of how Kaiser has some sort of other unusual ability that she's been keeping hidden. Khun asks what it is, but Gramon answers that he can't remember given how long ago it was that he last heard of it, which irritates Khun even further due to how useless Gramon continues to be.
Kaiser says to Viole that now that he's forever bleeding out due to Fenryl's bite, he will have no choice but to defeat her as quickly as possible before he loses consciousness. As a result, she claims that Viole will not be able to dodge her attacks from here on out since the Slayer Candidate will be trying to rush to victory.
She leaves off warning Viole that he will be ripped to pieces by Fenryl if he tries to go on the attack anyway, which leaves Bam annoyed. The duel finally continues once more as Kaiser orders Fenryal to charge forward. Bam summons his shinsu platform again to continue evading as Kaiser sends out her invisible weapons along with Fenryl to begin the attack. While evading the invisible weapons, Bam senses Fenryl coming from above, and manages to evade out of the way of the wolf's next bite attempt.
Bam next utilizes the Yu Hansung Shinsu Control Technique: Triple Dragon skill to fire three powerful Bangs at Fenryl, but doesn't leave any effect on the wolf. Sensing something about to wrap around his foot, Bam realizes that he's about to get caught out by a piece of fishing line, and manages to jump out of it in time. He's then greeted by another bite attempt from Fenryl, but manages to evade it at the last second. Landing back on his shinsu platform, Bam continues to evade the invisible weapons, but deduces that the current fight could end up going on forever, and will become a serious disadvantage for him if he was to wait any longer. Looking back at the opening in the invisible weapons that Kaiser has continued to provide for him as bait, Bam figures that at this point, he has no choice left but to take it.
Back to the location of Ran's group, Inieta states to them that he never expected Kaiser to turn out to be an anima from the Great Lo Po Bia Family. Ran reminds Inieta that the latter said to them that Kaiser has two special abilities, but hasn't told them what the second one is yet.
However, Inieta calls Ran an idiot for believing that he would tell him any additional information for free. He orders Ran to fight Kaiser himself if he wants to know about her second hidden ability.
Sensing Gramon's partner walking nearby, Inieta calls them out that he's caught onto their plan that they're using her to creep around and finish him off. Inieta points out that given his current wounds, he's most likely going to die soon, but would rather fight to the last moment instead of having his throat cut from behind. He asks Ran if the kid agrees as the Khun Family member gives off a few stretches in order to continue the fight again stating that he has no choice if Inieta is choosing to die by his hands.
Ran's actions surprise Sia and Dan as the latter warns the Khun Family member not to do this since there's no reason to continue the fight. However, Ran orders them to stay out of this as he plans to burn himself up believing that this is the end for him as well given how injured his own body has become. Seeing a ball of lightning being created within Ran's right hand, Dan is left shocked to see how dangerous the situation has become for Ran since the latter has decided to eat a second lightning pill while the first one is still active. Dan deduces that Ran won't be able to hold out for much longer as this point as he watches the Khun Family member eat the second lightning pill.
A burst of electricity swarms around Ran as Dan begs him to stop this. On the opposite end, Inieta is excited to see that the fight is turning out this way. Holding up the Krishna sword, Inieta states that he's on the brink of death, but is now up against a powerful enemy. Claiming that he doesn't have much strength left in his hands, Inieta remains excited that this turned out to be a decent situation for his final battle. Igniting Krishna, Inieta charges forward while Ran prepares an electric attack. Seeing that Ran has decided to gather shinsu for a final major electric attack, Inieta states that he will gladly fight fair-and-square.
Ran's actions shock Dan and Sia calling their teammate out as an idiot for going all out right off the bat. However, Inieta prepares an ignited stab attack with the Krishna, and claims that this really is going to be the end of their fight. Gathering enough shinsu, Ran uses the Maschenny Style: Lightning Spear Technique to summon his Grand Espada de la Luz. The two attacks collide as Sia is seen blocking the shockwave of the collision with her lighthouse barrier to keep herself, Dan, and Gramon's partner safe from it.
The massive explosion subsides as Inieta is seen having stabbed into the side of Ran's stomach, but ended up taking the full hit of the Grand Espada de la Luz. As a result, Inieta realizes that he doesn't have the strength to finish off Ran as he lets go of the Krishna sword, and falls towards a hole in the maze floor. Before Ran falls as well, Sia manages to catch him with her lighthouse barrier, which also manages to catch Danhwa's stolen Krishna sword. During his fall, Inieta remembers back to the moment he had lost his fight with Kaiser.
An enraged Inieta finds the result of his defeat to be impossible, and figures that Kaiser must have cheated to come out the winner. Inieta claims that this is so unfair given that he was looking forward to this fight, which Kaiser apologizes for since she wasn't able to live up to his expectations. Kaiser informs him that he will be sold off at the next festival auction, but remains confused as to why someone from the Arie Family has decided to come to Name Hunt Station. She assures him that given he's from the most powerful of the Great Families, they will be sure to pay big bucks in order to get a member of their family back. However, Inieta replies that she shouldn't be so sure of that, which confuses Kaiser.
Inieta explains that he's not a Direct Line descendant, which means that the Arie Family isn't going to acknowledge a lesser mongrel like himself. As a result, Kaiser is better off just forgetting about him since the Arie Family isn't going to consider him being worth that much.
In return, Kaiser suggests that he become one of her Ten Bosses at Name Hunt Station since he opened up a spot earlier by killing off one. Walking away, Kaiser states that from now on, Inieta will be known as the Genius Swordsman, and that he can wait at Name Hunt Station as one of the Ten Bosses until the Arie Family decides that they want him back. Inieta remains confused by Kaiser's announcement, which she explains that if she was part of the Arie Family, she would gladly spend the money to get him out of Name Hunt Station given that his talents are truly incredible.
Returning to the present, Inieta continues to fall irritated over the current situation remembering that he finally met someone at Name Hunt Station who could see his true self. Above him, Inieta sees Sia's lighthouse platform holding up the completely exhausted Ran as well as the Krishna sword as he hears Ran's teammates calling out to their teammate holding the kid is ok. Inieta's last words leave off hoping that Kaiser doesn't ever die as it's implied that he passes on to the afterlife moments after.
Back to the Bam and Kaiser fight, Bam finally goes on the offensive as he moves between the invisible weapons towards the trap opening that Kaiser's been providing. Feeling the blood continue to pour out of his left arm, Bam knows that the fight isn't going to end quick enough.
He figures that it will become even more of a disadvantage for him the longer he holds out from trying to face Kaiser head on. Looking at the obvious opening that Kaiser continues to leave open amongst her invisible weapons flying about, Bam states to himself that he has no choice left but to go for it despite knowing that said opening is obviously a trap. Blasting towards Kaiser on his shinsu platform, Bam figures that it's gotten to a point where he needs to take great risks.
Khun orders Gramon to hurry up on remembering what the other ability was that Kaiser's been hiding, which Gramon continues to struggle to remember due to how long ago it was. A moment later, Gramon suddenly remembers it that the other ability Kaiser has is that she has a means of teleportation, which surprises Khun. Gramon states that teleportation was definitely what his companion, who once fought against Kaiser, said that she had. He states once more that Kaiser's ability is definitely teleportation, which Khun finds to be nonsense since Kaiser is obviously not a light-bearer to be able to pull off such a stunt. However, Gramon states that it's not that kind of teleportation, but that she can actually switch places with her pet Fenryl wolf.
Unable to believe what he just heard, Khun realizes that Bam is in trouble, and calls out to him to watch out. However, Bam is seen having already reached Kaiser's location, and is about to use the Ha Jinsung Style Piercing Technique: Crimson Flame skill again with his left hand. Hiding behind her Armor Inventory, Kaiser thinks to herself that she now has Viole right where she wants him. She activates the teleportation switch as Fenryl is now seen in front of Bam right where Kaiser use to be while she is now behind Bam having taken her pet wolf's place.
Bam sends his shinsu blast forward, but is shocked to see that the wolf is now there instead of Kaiser. In return, Kaiser's invisible weapons begin to wrap around Bam in an attempt to immobilize him as Kaiser makes it to his back, and places her right hand on it to begin the name-stealing. In return, Bam remains confused as to how Kaiser managed to get behind him. Khun yells out to him that Kaiser has the ability to switch places with her wolf, but Kaiser replies that it's too late to warn him now since Viole's name is now about to be hers. The announcement is made that Kaiser has made contact with Jue Viole Grace's body, and that the name-stealing process has now begun.
Before the countdown could begin however, Bam thinks to himself that he didn't want to rely on a certain power of his against Kaiser as he uses said power to swing his left leg around to untie himself from Kaiser's invisible weapon strings. Bam's action shocks Kaiser seeing that he managed to break out of her invisible weapon strings, but before he could truly connect his kick with her body, she swaps places once more with her Fenryl wolf, which ends up chomping down on Bam's left leg. Bam blasts Fenryl away with a few Bangs, but as he stands on his two legs again, he feels the pain of his bitten leg, and sees blood pouring from it just like his arm.
Bam begins to breath in exhaustion, and realizes that this is now the second wound he's obtained from Fenryl. Khun calls out to Bam worried about his health as Gramon reminds him not to get involved due to the battle between the Slayer Candidate and the Name Hunt Station warlord being too great for them. Gramon also questions why Khun keeps swapping Bam and Viole's names whenever he gets agitated over this. Meanwhile, Bam and Kaiser stand opposite one another once more after their last bit of fighting.
Kaiser admits that Viole's last skill was impressive since she was sure that he had him completely trapped at that point. She asks how much strength Viole has left at this point, which Bam asks in return if teleportation is one of her pet wolf's abilities. Kaiser states that the teleportation is actually her own ability to switch places with any animal she's currently commanding. She also points out that this teleportation ability is why Princess Endorsi lost her name, because she let her guard down not realizing that the station warlord had this kind of skill. Bam thinks over the current situation, and deduces that the wolf-swapping skill is Kaiser's trump card that allowed her to defeat Endorsi, and is the main reason that Kaiser has been purposefully leaving a route open in order to catch people using a teleportation trap.
Bam remains confused over this stating that Endorsi could have escaped from the teleportation trap with her Bong Bong fairy. However, Kaiser answers that as the station warlord, she has the ability to simply steal away names by holding onto people's wrists, which is how she stole away Endorsi's name. She points out that the only reason Endorsi actually lost her name was because of her own carelessness, which causes Bam to realize that being caught off-guard like that was probably why Endorsi was so confident that she could win a rematch against Kaiser.
Preparing her invisible weapons once more, Kaiser states that while it's too bad that Viole managed to escape her teleportation trap, his bad situation still hasn't changed just because he happens to know about her hidden abilities now. She warns Viole that at this point, he's either going to die a slow death, or eventually have his name stolen to her through another unsuccessful charge. She sends her invisible weapons at Bam once more, who gets back on his shinsu platform to continue evading from getting hit.
Gramon asks Khun what they're supposed to do now at this point since it's starting to look like Viole has no chance of winning. He also adds that Fenryl's two bites on Bam's left arm and leg are only going to get worse. Watching Bam continue to evade the invisible weapons and Fenryl, Khun thinks to himself that Kaiser has proven herself to be a strong opponent, and that she's choosing to only fight her enemies on environments where she knows she won't lose. However, Khun remains confused as to why he's been thinking that despite Kaiser having forced Bam into such a corner, he still isn't getting the slightest sense that Bam is going to lose this fight.
Khun thinks over how there's some kind of pressure he's currently feeling that's different compared to when Bam took on Hoaqin, and that he doens't understand the basis of what's causing this pressure. However, Khun knows for sure that this pressure he's feeling is somehow lacking compared to when Bam or Hoaqin were dueling. As Bam continues to evade Kaiser's invisible weapons, Bam continues to feel the pain throbbing in the left leg that was bitten by Fenryl.
Bam admits to himself that he's feeling his entire body losing its blood, which is causing him to gradually lack the energy to continue on. He also realizes that his vision is beginning to blur as time goes on. Knowing that a wave of invisible weapons continues to attack him, and his concentration beginning to fade due to the blood loss, Bam is left wondering how much longer he can hold on using just intuition alone. However, Bam ends up having the strange feeling that no matter what, the invisible weapons are never going to hit him.
Continuing to evade the invisible weapons, Bam begins to summon his shinsu Bangs, which confuses Kaiser. He then sends his shinsu Bangs out to attack offensively, which surprises Kaiser, who believed that no matter what, she had Viole in the position to be stuck only worrying about getting hit by her invisible weapons. She's left wondering when it was that Viole learned to do something like that. Meanwhile, Bam confirms that at this point, he's beginning to see them. Despite the fact that they're invisible to his eyes, Bam believes that he's reached a point where he can now see where Kaiser's invisible weapons are going to fly by.
Thinking over the sense of Kaiser's incoming waves of invisible weapons from Kaiser's Invisible Inventory, as well as the shinsu flow surrounding them, Bam deduces that he can feel each drop of shinsu dispersing due to being hit by the friction of the invisible weapon needles. As a result, Bam can see the reflection of himself on the shinsu drops, and is left wondering if he's just imagining all this. Sticking out his right hand towards an incoming invisible weapon, Bam feels that he's positive that he will be able to catch it. Seeing Bam sticking out his hand leaves Kaiser confused as to what he's about to do.
As Bam's hand gets closer to one of her invisible weapons, Kaiser begins to realize what Viole is aiming for, and is shocked to see him actually going for it. To Khun and Gramon's shock, the two of them watch as Bam manages to catch a needle from Kaiser's Invisible Inventory using his bare right hand. Seeing Bam standing in place with an invisible weapon in his hand, Khun confirms that something about Bam has indeed changed ever since all those events that went down on the Hell Train, such as coming across the Power within his mind, the fight with Hoaqin, and the Rice Pot training with the God of Guardians.
Kaiser continues to look in stunned shock as she finds it unbelievable that Viole has not only managed to dodge her invisible weapons, but has now even managed to catch one with his bare hands. She confirms that she has been careless all this time, and had been wrong about Viole as he's proven to be extremely talented compared to everyone else. Still holding the invisible weapon in his hand, Bam thinks to himself that he can still come out the winner in the fight against Kaiser.
Still unable to believe what she's witnessing, Kaiser rethinks her previous thoughts that the Slayer Candidate she's currently fighting wasn't selected by FUG simply because he was a rare gemstome with exceptional talent. She concludes that FUG is actually raising up a complete monster. A monster that has never been seen before even within the main family of her Great Lo Po Bia Family. Knowing that the Slayer Candidate is someone who can dodge and feel invisible objects, Kaiser figures that the only logicial answer is Viole is someone who's been blessed with the power of shinsu. She watches as Bam prepares to go on the offensive once more. Evading Kaiser's invisible weapons like usual, Bam thinks to himself that he will be able to pull this off as long as he can destroy the station warlord's current attack routes.
Activating the Thorn's power, Bam figures that if he manages to do so, then Kaiser won't be able to force him to follow a single route from here on out. Bam charges forward on his shinsu platform believing that it's finally time to begin the counterattack.
At that same time, the sword fight between Hatz and Shilial had continued on. Rubble is seen all around due to the intensity of the duel as the needle portion of Shilial's current sword is seen breaking off. Shilial asks what the power is that she's currently looking at as she sees Hatz swinging around a sword of gold shinsu. She asks if it's perhaps some sort of ignition weapon, which Hatz answers to be the case, and that the name of the sword is known as Donghae. Hatz explains that it's an ignition sword he doesn't often use because it's currently difficult to wield for him. However, he warns Shilial that the sword hasn't even truly been ignited yet.
Shilial asks what Hatz means by his weapon not being ignited yet as she watches the gold shinsu continue to swarm off his Donghae sword. She states that Hatz never came off to her as a liar believing that he appears to be bluffing here. Shilial states that there's no way an ignition weapon could be given off this much power being held by a simple D-rank Regular, and yet still not be ignited. Hatz replies that she will know soon enough if he's bluffing or not, but would prefer if Shilial just backed down rather than choose to continue fighting him while he's using the Donghae. He warns Shilial that once he's truly ignited the sword, he won't be able to control it against her. Before Hatz and Shilial could continue their fight, Shibisu suddenly appears asking the two of them to stop.
The two of them are surprised by Shibisu's arrival as the latter states how surprised he is to see a Jahad Princess of the Lo Po Bia Family here, and points out how this proves that Jahad Princesses have nothing better to do these days. Shibisu apologizes for interrupting the fight, but he uses this chance to inform Shilial that Viole has already arrived at Kaiser's Gallery island to fight the station warlord. He also adds that the Lo Po Bia Princesses got just what they wanted regarding Viole not appearing at the auction festival since in the end, Kaiser is going to lose to Viole today.
Shilial remains confused by Shibisu's announcement as Hatz yells out in anger ordering his teammate to explain what he means by Bam already being at the Gallery. Hatz asks if Shibisu is implying that he didn't stop Bam from going to the Gallery even though he know exactly where Bam was going to appear, which Shibisu answers he had no true means of stopping Bam from reaching his objective. Turning back to Shilial, he orders her to give up along with Lilial since their continued involvement here could result in rumors spreading that the Lo Po Bia Princess twins helped Viole defeat Kaiser.
Finding this amusing, Shilial asks if Shibisu is really trying to threaten her at the moment, which Shibisu points out that Shilial should understand this full well given that her and Lilial are experts at threatening others. He also warns Shilial that it could turn out bad for her and Lilial if the other Jahad Princess sisters found out that they messed everything up here due to their obsession with Viole. Shilial pretends to play dumb asking what other sisters Shibisu is talking about, which Shibisu answers that he already caught onto what they're truly after here.
Shibisu points out that he knows about the battle going on between two Jahad Princess factions going on within the Tower Floors above them. As a result, the Lo Po Bia Princess twins have taken a side with one of them, and that the attempt to hunt for Endorsi was for the sake of keeping a good relationship with the Princess they chose to ally with.
Shibisu calls out Shilial that the claim they made about the Endorsi hunt being for their Lo Po Bia Family was all a lie in order to use Kaiser for their plan, and that once Endorsi was defeated, it would serve as a tribute to the Princess sister the twins chose to ally with. Continuing to call out Shilial, Shibisu states that the choice was to either lure Endorsi to their side, or get rid of her completely, which they chose to do the latter. However, Shibisu points out that he still hasn't figured out if the Jahad Princess they chose to side with was either Princess Arie Rose or Princess Hendo Lok Gladmerry.
Shilial, who's been listening to Shibisu's speech, admits that Shibisu is quite a detective. However, Shilial informs him that while his deduction is mostly correct, she and Lilial didn't side with the two Jahad Princesses he mentioned, which confuses Shibisu. She reveals that her and Lilial actually chose to support a certain third person. Back to the Gallery chamber, the fight between Bam and Kaiser continues as he charges toward the station warlord.
Having lost one of her invisible weapons after Bam managed to grab it, Kaiser figures that it will put her in a dangerous position if she was to lose any further weapons. She figures that her best option would be to step up the tempo of her remaining invisible weapons as they continue to swarm all around Bam attempting to hit him in every direction. Seeing Bam continue to evade her invisible weapons as he gets close, Kaiser is left wondering if Viole has decided to increase his speed in an attempt to take advantage of the gap that was created in her invisible weapon cage due to the mission weapon.
In return, Bam notices that Kaiser has increased the speed of her invisible weapons, but figures that the change in tactics is no use since he can still see it no matter how quickly the weapons now move. Bam spots another invisible weapon passing right by him as he manages to grab hold of it, and throws it back in the direction of Kaiser, who blocks it with her Armor Inventory, but as a result, the weapon breaks on impact, which results in the loss of a second invisible weapon for Kaiser. Kaiser realizes that even her change in tactics just now proved to be no effect against Viole.
Utilizing a different tactic to try to finish the fight in the next strike, Kaiser performs the Kaiser Style Reel Skill: Tying Twenty Threads technique in an attempt to use her remaining invisible weapons by surrounding Bam with strings to immobilize him. However, now that Kaiser has moved all the remaining invisible weapons to one location, Bam easily evades the Tying Twenty Threads technique, and zooms around the area while evading bites from the Fenryl, and manages to reach the location of all the invisible weapons. Bam then grabs hold of them, and breaks apart all the remaining invisible weapons as he lands back onto the floor of the Gallery chamber.
Charging towards Kaiser, Bam asks if her Grey Wolf Family will truly notice her if she just continues to stay put on Name Hunt Station. Powering up his Ha Jinsung Style Piercing Technique: Crimson Flame skill once more, Bam goes in for a punch, which Kaiser attempts to block with her Armor Inventory.
However, Bam manages to smash through it with the Crimson Flame as he yells at her that Kaiser has just been making excuses not thinking about the real problem here. He states that if Kaiser was truly thinking about her Grey Wolf Family, then she would have changed her way of thinking so that the Grey Wolves wouldn't continue to be involved in doing something so disgraceful.
Refusing to accept Bam's words, Kaiser calls him foolish as she pulls out a sword to face him in close-combat. Bam dodges her sword swings as Kaiser claims that Viole is just being unrealistic. She state that her role is simply to do whatever her family tells her to do, even if they tell her to do something completely disgraceful. She yells at Bam that it makes her happy just knowing that her Grey Wolf family wants her, which Bam admits that Kaiser is surprisingly fast and accurate when it comes to close-combat.
Kaiser continues to yell that she was foolish in the past, because she betrayed the people closest to her by pursuing the illusion called love. However, Kaiser claims that the current her is different having not gotten rid of the old foolish girl that she started out as. She states how her old self always hated dancing like a puppet over a glass ceiling on top of everyone in her family that was considered the loser. However, she now knows that her true role is to protect the people who matter the most to her. She yells at Bam that no matter what, she's going to return to her Grey Wolf family.
Continuing to attempt to strike Bam with her sword, Kaiser states once more that she will continue to sacrifice herself here at Name Hunt Station until the moment finally comes that the Grey Wolves finally acknowledge her again. At this point, Fenryl appears behind Bam, and bites into his left arm once more.
Kaiser then uses her teleportation ability to swap with Fenryl as she now has hold of Bam's left arm, and goes in for a sword stab at his face. Khun and Gramon yell at Bam to watch out as Kaiser yells out that returning to her family is the only reason she's still choosing to live on.
Summoning his shinsu platform, Bam manages to evade the stab, and moves to get right above Kaiser, which shocks her. Bam manages to grab hold of Kaiser's arm in return, which stuns Kaiser having realized that she now can't perform the teleportation switch with Fenryl while Viole has hold of her. He then says to Kaiser that he has no choice at this point but to break the glass ceiling she's been standing on so that she won't be able to dance again for someone that continues to want something from her. Preparing a Ha Jinsung Style: Extreme Flare Wave Explosion technique in his palm, Bam calls out Kaiser asking how it makes her happy dancing for someone else when she no longer has a real face and name.
Using the Extreme Flare Wave Explosion, Bam hit Kaiser with a massive beam of red-colored shinsu as a giant explosion occurs that destroys a side of the Gallery building. The Extreme Flare Wave Explosion can be seen from a distance by many as Khun and Gramon remain floating atop the former's lighthouses within the ruined chamber hoping that Bam made it out ok.
However, they quickly spot Bam now standing over the defeated Kaiser, who's now lying on the floor bleeding out with a major injury on the right side of her body. Bam breathes heavily in exhaustion as Kaiser remains silent knowing that she has lost.
Kaiser thinks over what just happened, and realizes that she can't move anymore. She figured that it would turn out fine since the Extreme Flare Wave Explosion didn't hit her directly, but wonders if the reason she can't move at the moment was simply because the attack was just that strong. She concludes that whatever the case is, this is the end for her anyway. A moment later, Khun and Gramon run up to Bam asking if he's ok now that the battle is over, but Bam keeps his attention on Kaiser.
Bam asks if Kaiser remembers the names of the people within the Grey Wolf Family that she's been trying so hard this whole time to protect. In return, Kaiser finds the question odd since despite it being 1000 years later, she still hasn't forgotten the names of anyone from her family, and has not only missed them, but has always felt sorry for them for her failure back then.
Bam next asks if Kaiser even remembers her own name, which catches her attention. He asks if she remembers what her real name was before dropping it for the Kaiser title, which causes Kaiser to wonder what it was. Kaiser thinks over how she had a name before becoming Kaiser.
A name when she was a little proud Grey Wolf that was beloved by everyone. She remembers how there was definitely a name there for a poor girl who put on the Kaiser mask to hide behind, and was prepared to abandon everything. Beginning to tear up, Kaiser informs Viole that she doesn't remember her true name.
Moments beforehand at the time Bam used the Extreme Flare Wave Explosion, Anaak and Vespa watch from afar the massive explosion that destroys the front of the Gallery. Anaak is left in a state of confusion wondering what's going on while Iruroe is seen nearby trying to get some sleep at the no-name residence. At Endorsi's location, her fight with Lilial stalls as the two of them feel the vibrations being given off by the Extreme Flare Wave Explosion. Endorsi remains confused as to what's going on while Lilial assumes that what they felt must have come from Kaiser's Gallery. Within the auction island, Alphine looks up at the Extreme Flare Wave Explosion in shock hoping that Kaiser is alright.
Returning to the present, Kaiser thinks to herself that despite trying to make her Grey Wolf family happy by stealing away other people's names, it's ridiculous that she can't remember her own. She asks what Viole plans to do now that he's won.
Kaiser states that even if he chooses to let FUG take over Name Hunt Station, it will screw over Endorsi from being able to maintain her status as a Jahad Princess. However, Bam announces that he's not going to steal away her name, which confuses Kaiser. Bam reveals that his plan is actually to buy her name. The announcement leaves Kaiser confused as to what's going on, which Bam explains that Kaiser will enter the auction festival like she was planning to do, but instead, her name will be purchased by Viole by paying off all her Grey Wolf Family's debt.
Bam states that the debt will be paid off all at once, which catches Kaiser's attention. Khun explains that the money will be all paid off anonymously by FUG, and that since the debt will be all gone at once, her Grey Wolf Family will be unable to touch it to continue wasting it away. The result will be Kaiser's freedom from Name Hunt Station.
Khun states that the only thing they ask in return is for Kaiser to give Endorsi's name back to her, and tell everyone that it was Endorsi who defeated the station warlord. As a result, Endorsi will have her honor restored, and all that will be left at that point is for Kaiser's high-priced name to be purchased at the auction festival.
Kaiser asks why Viole and company would bother doing such a thing, which Bam answers that he figured Kaiser wouldn't let go of Endorsi's name if he didn't go this route. Holding out a hand to Kaiser, Bam says to her that his overall goal was to allow her to live as her true self. He asks Kaiser to go back to being her own self, and not as someone from the Grey Wolf Family. Bam then corrects himself by calling Kaiser as her true name, Elaine, which leaves Kaiser stunned in silence realizing that Viole knew her name.
Meanwhile at Hatz, Shibisu, and Shilial's location, they're all left wondering what that vibration was they just felt as Shilial questions if this means something went down at the Gallery. Shilial then receives a message on her Pocket informing the Lo Po Bia Princess that she ended up losing the battle against Viole. The message continues asking Shilial to take care of herself since Kaiser is going to have to stop doing her work at Name Hunt Station now that her debt is going to all be repaid, which shocks Shilial. The message leaves Shilial annoyed wondering why Kaiser betrayed them, and how Viole has managed to solve this current situation.
Beginning to walk away, Shilial complains that while nothing seems to be going their way after coming to such a filthy place, she has no reason left being here. Shibisu calls out to Shilial asking if what she said was true about the identity of the actual Princess she and Lilial are working for, which Shilial asks in return if he doesn't believe her. He replies back that such an answer is hard to believe, which Shilial answers that while she may be a prankster, she doesn't tend to lie about what she says to people.
Shibisu still finds the answer unbelievable pointing out that the Princess the Lo Po Bia twins are choosing to serve is a High Ranker who would barely gain anything collaborating with people as low as D-rank Regulars. However, Shilial continues to walk away stating that Shibisu can think whatever he wants if he doesn't want to believe her. Shilial next calls up Lilial on her Pocket to inform her twin that they should head back since Kaiser has apparently lost her fight with Viole. She also states that the two of them should meet up with Maria as well, which catches Shibisu's attention knowing that he's heard that name before.
Before finally departing, Shilial calls out to the black-haired swordsman, which catches Hatz's attention. Shilial warns him not to think that this is her backing away from their fight, and to not act so arrogant the next time they meet simply because he has some sort of ignition weapon. A group of eyeballs is seen appearing behind Shilial as she warns Hatz that continuing to act so arrogant to her will result in his death. With that said, she bids Hatz and Shibisu farewell.
At that same time, Endorsi is now completely alone wondering what the hell just happened after Lilial ditched her. She remembers how Lilial was speaking to Shilial on her Pocket accepting the words her twin as she turns around to leave. Despite Endorsi calling out to her asking where she's going, Lilial doesn't answer, and disappears a moment after. Endorsi is left irritated knowing that Shilial just ended up leaving right away the moment she got a call from her twin sister.
Endorsi thinks over how Lilial and Shilial are looking after one another, but is confused as to why they do so since the two Lo Po Bia Princesses are going to end up being rivals by the end of it all anyway. She also puts together that based on the weird occurrences that have been happening just now, it all must be the result of Bam having come out the victor against Kaiser at the Gallery island. Scratching her head in annoyance due to the recent events driving her nuts, Endorsi is left wondering what's going to happen to her now, and calls Bam a bastard for going the route he did. Meanwhile, the Bam, Khun, and Gramon, group return to the auction island in order to watch the festival.
The exhausted Bam is seen being carried by one of Khun's lighthouses, which Khun breathes a sigh of relief finding today to have been quite exhausting. Bam assures Khun that he's fine to get up now, and that lying down on the lighthouse just makes him look like a sick person. Despite sweating, Bam also reminds Khun that Kaiser completely healed the Fenryl bites after their fight, but Khun orders him to just continue lying down.
Khun states that Bam needs all the rest he can get after how hard he's been pushing himself lately, which Bam half-heartedly accepts. Thinking to himself how pathetic he is, Khun hates himself for not being able to provide Bam something better than just a movable bed with one of his lighthouses. Turning his attention to Gramon, Khun asks if the former is really ok with how all this turned out since Gramon was working alongside Bam's group in order to avenge the companions who were lost to Kaiser and the Ten Bosses.
Gramon answers that he started to think things over after hearing hearing about Kaiser's past, and that he's begun to understand how Kaiser must have felt bad selling people off at the auction festival. He points out that he will never forgive her for selling off some of his companions, but has decided it would be best to respect Viole's decision here. In return, Khun finds it surprising how tenderhearted Gramon is turning out to be. Gramon replies back that with all of this over, he hopes that Kaiser can truly return to her old self. Suddenly, Bam and company are greeted by the Bong Bong fairy calling out to them.
Endorsi drops out of the Bong Bong fairy, and greets Bam with a kick to the stomach claiming that it was set for them to reunite tomorrow night. Shibisu and Hatz also drop in from the Bong Bong fairy while still carrying Lauroe on Hatz's back. Grabbing hold of Bam, the enraged Endorsi asks if he's choosing to not keep his promises with the girls who are close to him, and warns him that she's going to kill him at this point. She asks how Bam could dare to take Endorsi's name without her knowing about it, and orders him to hand over the warlord's name.
Khun calls out to Endorsi trying to get her to stop harassing Bam as the latter tries to calm Endorsi down so that they can talk things out. However, Endorsi ignores both of them, and continues to grab at Bam trying to force him to hand over Kaiser's name. Meanwhile, Hatz stands by watching as he finds that Endorsi's current behavior isn't very dignified at all for a Jahad Princess. Asking Endorsi not to worry, Bam makes it clear that he's made sure that she won't lose her status as a Jahad Princess, which confuses her.
Endorsi asks what Bam is talking about, which Bam explains that after defeating Kaiser, the two of them agreed to make it look like it was Endorsi that won the duel. As a result, Kaiser handed over Endorsi's name to Bam so that he can give it back to her. Endorsi remains confused finding this result unbelievable as Bam assures her once more that he's made it so that Endorsi doesn't have to lose her Jahad Princess status. Refusing to believe it, Endorsi continues to harass Bam asking why Kaiser would actually make a promise with Bam, and orders him once more to hand Kaiser's name over. Bam replies that it's true, and that she will see it for herself tomorrow at the auction festival as Khun and company continue to watch the two of them struggle.
As Bam continues to get harassed by Endorsi, Shibisu speaks to Khun stating that the latter managed to resolve everything like he said he would. Khun however breathes a sigh of frustration not liking how crazy this all turned out. He explains to Shibisu that he ended up getting help from FUG due to the amount of money needed to free Kaiser from Name Hunt Station. However, Bam stated that doing this was their best option. Khun adds that given how they needed FUG's help here, he can't predict how they're going to react to this. At the hostage location, Boro, Sachi, and Nobic are seen checking on the three former hostages, Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa. Hwaryun is seen speaking to someone on her Pocket explaining how things have gone down at Name Hunt Station, and asks for the Pocket contact to make sure to make the payment at the auction tomorrow.
Khun continues to speak to Shibisu that Hwaryun told them beforehand of how FUG spending its money is basically pennies when it comes to pleasing their Slayer Candidate. However, it still rubs him the wrong way knowing that they need to depend on FUG to solve this problem. Having heard Khun's story, Shibisu admits that it turned out this way primarily because of Team Shibisu screwing up at the station, and states how it makes him feel guilty.
Seeing Endorsi still harassing Bam trying to get Kaiser's name, Shibisu also points out that their Princess also ended up like this by coming here. However, Khun reassures him that one of the main reasons they're choosing to help Kaiser is to get her out of her Grey Wolf Family, which Team Shibisu had nothing to do with.
Changing the subject, Shibisu informs Khun that they've encountered a problem with the other Jahad Princesses,which catches Khun's attention. Shibisu explains that he wasn't going to originally tell them since it's a problem concerning Team Shibisu, but decides to reveal that they ran into two other Princesses at Name Hunt Station, Shilial and Lilial. Khun asks if Shibisu is referring to the twin Lo Po Bia Princesses that baited Endorsi to the station, which Shibisu answers to be the case, and that they managed to send them away for now. However, Shibisu reveals that he heard something from them that Khun will find hard to believe. That the Lo Po Bia twin Princesses are in cahoots with the High Ranker Princess, Khun Maschenny Jahad. The revelation shocks Khun as he asks Shibisu why someone of High Ranker status would want to collaborate with low D-rank Regulars.
Shibisu agrees that he found it odd as well, but wasn't able to get a direct answer from them. He explains to Khun that the factional tension between Regular Princesses have gotten even more serious on the Tower Floors above them, and reminds Khun of the rumor that two of said Princesses are actually on terrible terms with one another. Shibisu adds that he figured Shilial and Lilial chose to side with one of the two Princesses that are on bad terms, but he learned that they were actually in cahoots with a third unexpected big shot, Maschenny Jahad.
Shibisu figures that the only logical explanation is that Khun Maschenny Jahad is trying to interfere with the factional strife currently going on amongst the Jahad Princess Regulars. Adding to that, Shibisu reveals that there's apparently another Princess working alongside Maschenny, Shilial, and Lilial, which confuses Khun. He reveals that the name of the Princess is the one known as Maria, which shocks Khun given his past history that's connected to her.
One day later, the festival at the auction island is about ready to begin. Within the Auction House, the announcement is made for all the Ranker auctioneers participating in today's auction to arrive a bit earlier than usual as the festival is going to start five hours earlier.
The Rankers are seen talking amongst each other as the announcer asks for everyone to now make their way to their seats. The announcement repeats the words that were just said as Jinsung hears someone ordering the surrounding Rankers to step aside as a Ranker from the Ha Family has arrived for the auction. The person yells out for everyone to get out of the way as the Ha Family will dominate the auction, which Jinsung thinks to himself that said person speaking is being really noisy.
Within a room of the Auction House, Elaine sits by on a bench as she asks herself if everyone has arrived for the festival at this point. She thinks back to the moment right after Bam called her by her true name. Elaine asks how Viole knew about her real name, which Bam answers that he heard it from Alphine after he ordered her as his new servant to reveal what Kaiser's true name was. Bam states that Alphine once saw Elaine as a happy person, and that because of Alphine's existence, Elaine has had one person in the Tower that has been looking at her properly. He asks Elaine to show the people of the Tower her true self at the festival tomorrow pointing out that it will probably leave everyone stunned, which Elaine agrees to do so by taking Bam's hand that he's been offering out to help her up.
Returning to the present, Elaine is seen having taken her Kaiser mask off stating that Viole turned out to be a strange boy. Leaving the mask behind, she figures that it's about time to finally repay her debt as she begins walking out towards the Auction House arena. The announcement is made that the Name Hunt Station festival will now begin. Bam and company are seen at the festival looking down at the Auction House arena as some of them are confused as to who the woman is walking out into the middle of it. Soon enough, they realize that it's Kaiser with her mask off, and showing off her true beautiful face as Elaine before everyone at the festival. Amongst everyone else watching the Auction House arena, they all remain confused as to who the girl is that has appeared, and question why the Slayer Candidate hasn't appeared yet.
They also wonder if the girl is supposed to be the Endorsi Jahad girl that's supposed to be fighting said Slayer Candidate. Elaine continues to walk to the center of the Auction House arena as Jinsung watches her closely deducing that she must be the girl that Hwaryun told him about. Looking over Elaine, Jinsung admits that she's a remarkable beauty and talent for the Lo Po Bia Family to just abandon at Name Hunt Station.
Elaine takes off her high-heel shoes, and takes her place in the middle of the center platform of the Auction House arena. The announcement is made that the Regular currently being put up for auction is known as Lo Po Bia Elaine, which shocks the spectators hearing that the current item is someone from the Ten Great Families, and now the Jahad Princess that was mentioned. Pulling out her Invisible Inventory, Elaine prepares her weapons to show off her skills before the people watching her within the Auction House. Throwing her stringed weapons into the air, Elaine thinks about her mother and father stating that it's about time for her to let the two of them go.
Seeing Elaine control her weapons through incredible reel control amazes the spectator auctioneers as Elaine next pulls out her sword to show off her close-combat skills. The spectators continue to be amazed by Elaine's display of skills, but one of the auctioneers, a Ranker named Ruda from the Great Ha Family, remains confused as to who this current girl is supposed to be. The Ha Ranker thinks to himself that the Princess quite clearly said to him that Jue Viole Grace was going to be put up for auction. Ruda is left wondering if him coming to Name Hunt Station was all for nothing.
At Bam and company's side, they continue to look down at Elaine performing her skills before everyone. Bam is glad to see how well Elaine's doing while Shibisu states how amazing it is that such a girl was hidden behind the Kaiser mask. Shibisu adds that Elaine's beauty makes it obvious that not just anyone gets chosen as a Jahad Princess, which annoys Endorsi asking if Shibisu will go along with anyone as long as they're pretty.
Shibisu agrees that that's pretty much the case. Seeing Khun watching Elaine in silence, Bam is left wondering what he's probably thinking about as Rak holds onto the back of blue turtle tightly asking why they aren't happy that their leader is back. Hatz continues to watch Elaine as well, and points out that she's looking more like a Princess than Endorsi, which enrages the later threating to kill Hatz for that comment. However, Endorsi continues to look over Elaine as well, and admits that the person who was once Kaiser not getting chosen as a Jahad Princess was such a waste.
As she continues to show off her skills before everyone, Elaine continues to think about her mother and father. Elaine states to herself how she once thought as a kid that her mother and father would always support her, and as a result, she would dance freely without having to worry about anything else. However, Elaine soon realized after her mother yelled at her for failing the love test that it wasn't actually her mother and father that were providing the support. It was the daughter who was supporting the parents.
Elaine concludes that the reason she couldn't let go of her parents until this point was because she was always feeling like the world was going to end the moment she did so. She states to herself that the time has finally come to let go of her parents as she sends a blast of shinsu out from her sword to show off the strength of her power to the Auction House spectators. Breathing in exhaustion, Elaine closes her eyes, and says goodbye to the old feelings she had that were keeping her locked away at Name Hunt Station.
Seeing that Elaine is done showing off her skills, the auctioneers scream in excitement that such a talented D-rank Regular is up for grabs at the festival. Some announce that they will gladly bid on her, and figure that her price is going to continue rising up due to the fact that she has a bright future ahead of her. However, an auctioneer from the Lo Po Bia Family steps forward asking them all to hold on as the girl just now happens to be one of their members. The Lo Po Bia Ranker explains that the girl is at Name Hunt Station paying off a massive debt to the family, so as a result, it's only right that she gets taken back to the Lo Po Bia Family.
Going by the name of Porp, the Lo Po Bia auctioneer Ranker states that he hopes no one will participate in the bidding war due to the debt their girl has. However, auctioneer Ruda calls out to Porp, which grabs the Lo Po Bia auctioneer's attention. Ruda calls out Porp for his ridiculousness trying to stop people from bidding just because the current item happens to be a Lo Po Bia member. He announces to Porp that the Ha Family are going to bid on the girl. Ruda also thinks to himself that he has no choice but to buy everyone given that it was an order from the Princess to bring all the auction items to her. Porp replies that there's no reason for the two of them to fight over such an irrelevant Regular. However, Ruda asks the Lo Po Bia auctioneer to not think about why Ruda is getting involved here. He states once more that he's going to bid on the current girl based on the rules of Name Hunt Station.
Ruda orders Porp to try to outbid him if the Lo Po Bia Family truly desires to want her back. Porp remains silent since he had no intention to begin with to take part in the bidding to reclaim Elaine. However, it's at this point that Jinsung calls out to them, which grabs Ruda's and Porp's attention.
Jinsung asks them out of curiosity how much the two other auctioneers were expecting to pay. Ruda and Porp remain confused as to who the new guy speaking to them is, which Jinsung answers that he's just someone who originates from a family that isn't that remarkable. Jinsung announces that he's taken an interest in the girl as well, and suggest that the three of them offer their bets at once to see how high the prince will go. He adds that there's no need to waste any further time, and to just say their prices after the count of three.
Ruda and Porp remain unable to speak, which Jinsung taunts them asking why they're not acting right away since the two of them are supposed to be from the Ten Great Families. He states that being from said families should be enough for the two auctioneers to have the guts to do this, and orders them to not back down from this. Porp finally agrees to go along with it, and thinks to himself that it actually won't cost much for the Lo Po Bia Family anyway. He also figures that it may end up turning out to be a good thing for the Lo Po Bia family if Elaine is able to get sold off for a much higher price. Ruda agrees to go along with it as well admitting that Jinsung is quite a confident one, but also thinks to himself the Jinsung and Porp don't yet realize that he's getting the money support of a Princess to win the items.
With everyone in agreement, Jinsung counts down from three, and orders them to announce their bids. Porp starts with 60,000,000 points while Ruda follows up bidding 2,000,000,000 points. However, Jinsung announces his 10,000,000,000 bid, which shocks Porp and Ruda. They ask if Jinsung is insane offering 10,000,000,000 points for a mere Regular, and point out that he could go out and by a whole fleet of floating islands with that kind of money. However, Jinsung replies that it's not that much for him considering that it's a price to pay to win over the favor of a prized student.
Beginning to walk away, Jinsung informs the two auctioneers that he will go about depositing the money right away in order to purchase the Lo Po Bia girl. He points out that her debt should be settled at this point, and asks for Ruda and Porp to take care of themselves. However, Ruda calls out to him, and orders Jinsung to explain who he is since it's not normal for a single person to have such a high amount of money. Ruda also asks what he's planning to do with the Lo Po Bia girl, which Jinsung answers that he's nothing more than an old man that disappeared from the history books ages ago.
Jinsung assures Ruda and Porp that there's no need to be concerned about him, but also informs them that he's not the one who's actually buying the Lo Po Bia girl. He reveals that it's actually his God (implying Bam) that has decided to save her. That saving people is the kind of God he's currently supporting. Meanwhile, Bam is seen giving off a smile knowing that Elaine's freedom turned out exactly as planned as he and his companions walk away from the festival since what they came to see has come to an end. Endorsi also walks away complaining that everything that's happen recently has made her tired.
Outside the Hell Train, Yuri and Evan remain on standby on the stairwell leading down to the 39th Floor station. Yuri gets contacted on her Pocket by auctioneer Ruda, who informs the Princess that he failed to obtain the auction item. The revelation shocks Yuri as she asks why this happened since she gave him a direct order to purchase any of the items the auction puts up for grabs. Ruda apologizes for his failure, but informs Yuri that he was up against an auctioneer who offered way too much money. Yuri becomes even more confused as she reminds Ruda that she asked him to spend as much money as he needed in order to win the item, but Ruda reveals that the auctioneer he was up against offered up 10,000,000,000 points.
The ten billion bid leaves Yuri stunned in confusion, which Ruda states that he gladly would have paid a higher amount than that if it was the Slayer Candidate up for sale, but the auction item that received such a high bid was just a simple D-rank girl from the Lo Po Bia Family. Yuri asks if Ruda's words are true that someone put up 10,000,000,000 points on a single Regular, which Ruda explains that it actually happened, and that the auctioneer deposited the entire amount all at once in order to gain the Lo Po Bia girl right away. Finding this unbelievable, Yuri asks who it could be out there that could spend so much on a simple Regular, which Ruda answers that he's not sure of it either except that the mysterious auctioneer didn't come off as someone who was from the Ten Great Families.
Ruda continues to explain that he was able to confirm that the Slayer Candidate was never put up for auction at the festival. Instead, after looking into the Lo Po Bia Family, he was able to discover that the item put up for auction was actually Name Hunt Station's leader, Kaiser. The information shocks Yuri as she asks if Ruda is implying that Kaiser actually lost, which Ruda answers to be the case.
Ruda explains that from the information he's received, Endorsi Jahad was the one who defeated Kaiser, and that the news of a Slayer Candidate appearing at Name Hunt Station was a false report. The mention of Endorsi catches Yuri's attention, and remembers how she was the amateur Jahad Princess she ran into back on the 2nd Floor during the encounter against Lo Po Bia Ren. Yuri remains confused as to why Endorsi has decided to show up at Name Hunt Station, but then states to Ruda that she doesn't need to hear anymore. Ruda leaves off apologizing to Yuri for his failure here as the Pocket call ends.
With the Pocket call over, Evan asks what happened, which Yuri answers that things have taken a strange turn since Kaiser appears to have lost. The answer shocks Evan, which Yuri explains that something complicated must have happened on Bam's end.
Scratching her head in frustration, Yuri states that she was ready to get Bam out of Name Hunt Station once he lost to Kaiser, going given the latter's loss, that plan has gone up in smoke. Evan remains confused as to what's going on as Yuri is left disappointed that things ended up not going their way. She informs Evan that it's obvious at this point that Bam is going to return to her with Kaiser's name, which shocks him. Annoyed by how things have turned out, Yuri is left wondering if this means she will now be forced to go through with taking Bam to the 43rd Floor of Death. However, she suddenly receives another incoming call on her Pocket from the Jahad Princess, Khun Maschenny Jahad. Seeing the name of the incoming caller surprises Yuri and Evan as the Princess decides to take the call.
Yuri asks Maschenny why the latter would call her, which Maschenny asks where Yuri is at currently. Struggling to answer, Yuri gives off a laugh claiming that there's no reason Maschenny needs to know this, and orders the Khun Princess to just act like her usual self. Maschenny notes how cute it is to see Yuri flustered, but agrees to do so given how bored she's been lately. The Khun Princess asks if Yuri would like to make a bet with her, which catches Yuri and Evan's attention. The bet being Maschenny's Yellow May for the Green April that's currently in Yuri's possession.
At that same time aboard the Hell Train, the FUG Slayer, Karaka, is seen having come across the corpse of his subordinate, Train Conductor Pedro. Confirming Pedro's death, Karaka uses his shinsu powers to see into the memories of the Train Conductor. Karaka also thanks Pedro's corpse for providing him a location on the Hell Train that is impossible to be detected from the outside, and states that there's no need to be sorry for dying here. He also points out that it's thanks to Pedro's efforts, it's only a matter of time that White will finally be revived. One of Pedro's memories catches Karaka's attention as he learns that Princess Yuri Jahad has also arrived at the Hell Train, and was the one who killed Pedro.
Returning to outside the Hell Train, Yuri asks what Maschenny means by the bet, which the Khun Princess states once more that she wants to make a bet between her Yellow May for Yuri's Green April, and that whoever wins gets to keep both of them. The bet leaves Yuri confused, and asks why she would accept such a thing, which Maschenny asks if Yuri is still interested in a certain change that Yuri has been desiring so badly. The answer leaves Yuri silent which Maschenny states that she knows Yuri has always been someone who's wished to see the Tower experience change. She points out that if Yuri was to accept the deal, it would give Yuri the chance to be the first Jahad Princess to ever have control of three of the 13-month weapons (March, April, and May).
Maschenny claims that if Yuri was to accept this, the latter would have the potential to do far more than she could do currently to bring about change to the Tower. However, she points out that she's not going to explain why she desires the Green April for this bet other than the fact that she needs it too. Maschenny asks for Yuri to think about the bet as she already has everything prepared for the match between Yellow May and Green April. She explains that she will provide Yuri the details on the bet at a later more suitable time should the Ha Princess accept, but if Yuri refuses, Maschenny threatens to make sure that Yuri can no longer remain aboard the Hell Train.
The threat shocks Yuri as she asks how Maschenny knew she was on the Hell Train, but the Khun Princess asks Yuri once more to think about the bet. She leaves off asking for Yuri to have a nice trip for now as the Pocker call with the Khun Princess ends. Yuri and Evan remain silent at the Pocket wondering what had just happened. The confused Yuri asks if she really just got a call from Princess Maschenny Jahad, which Evan answers that she did, but can't believe it either.
Yuri thinks over the bet of how it's going to be May against April of the 13-month series, and deduces that whoever loses will be in great danger to the rest of the Tower. She's left wondering why Maschenny would go this far despite knowing that fact. Yuri also remains confused as to why Maschenny is going after the Green April rather than Yuri's actual 13-month series, the Black March.
The Ha Princess also questions how Maschenny has already decided on the details of the bet, and thinks about how Maschenny could have discovered that Yuri had boarded the Hell Train. Putting it all together, Yuri comes to the conclusion that everything about this is suspicious as if she's being carried along by some massive flow that has already been predetermined. A moment after, a voice is heard behind Yuri and Evan claiming that it's a relief the two of them were easy to find.
Yuri and Evan turn around, and see Karaka standing at the entrance of the Hell Train. Yuri remains confused as to who's standing before her, but Evan realizes they're up against someone serious given the strong energy Karaka is goving off. Noting how Yuri has black hair and red eyes, Karaka deduces that he's come across the girl from Pedro's memories. He asks the Ha Princess if she's the one known as Yuri Jahad. Yuri answers that to be the case, and asks who the talking to her is. Evan warns her to watch out, but the FUG Slayer continues to walk towards them, and properly introduces himself as Karaka, the God of FUG.
Hearing Karaka's name, Yuri quickly realizes that she's run into a FUG Slayer. Karaka explains that he had been hiding on the Hell Train this whole time, but during his time in hiding, Yuri entered the Hell Train, and killed a fond disciple of his (Pedro). Yuri asks if Karaka is here simply out of revenge, which Karaka answers that he is since he can't stand around doing nothing while something precious to him had been lost. Breathing a sigh of annoyance, Yuri replies that Karaka really is a nutjob. Yuri states how she heard about Karaka being an insane one, and threatens the FUG Slayer that he should have just stayed in hiding.
Giving off a grin, Yuri claims that things worked out in the end anyway since she also happens to have business with Karaka given his connections to FUG. Preparing for a fight by creating a ball of black-and-yellow shinsu in his hand, Karaka agrees that this turned out to be an excellect situation since they both appear to have business they need to deal with.
At that same time, Bam and his companions have returned to the no-name residence to get a breather after everything that went down the past night. Shibisu complains that he's completely exhausted after having his entire body drained of energy, and informs Bam that it appears Elaine managed to safely escape Name Hunt Station. He adds that he never expected this to be the end result in their fight against Kaiser. Lauroe, wakes up claiming that he's also tired, which Shibisu complains why he's saying that when he just spent the whole time riding on Hatz's back. Seeing Lauroe's pale face, Shibisu asks how he could look so tired after not doing anything.
Khun asks how the rest of Leeso's team is doing, which Shibisu answers that apart from Hatz going back to his training, the rest are washing themselves up. Shibisu points out unlike his team, which can take some time to rest, Khun should be worried about his own team given that Bam's group needs to return to the Hell Train before it departs from Name Hunt Station tonight. Khun agrees that while he's a bit tired at the moment, there's places on the Hell Train he can get some rest after they make it back. Meanwhile, Hatz is seen going about his training again by continuously swinging a sword. Continuing their conversation, Khun adds that he's worried about their injured companions who haven't recovered yet after the fighting against Kaiser and the Ten Bosses.
Shibisu asks if this means Bam's group has hit a snag, but Khun makes it clear that despite their injured comrades, they need to make it back to the Hell Train by the end of the day. Wondering what will happen to the station, Shibisu next asks if this means that FUG is going to manage it from here on out. However, Khun answers that he's heard that Alphine has chosen to stay behind in order to look after Name Hunt Station, which confuses Shibisu.
Khun explains that Name Hunt Station was once a place specifically for Regulars, so it's not that surprising that a Regular would be the one who manages it. Shibisu asks if they can trust Alphine with this, which Khun explains that she came off as someone who didn't actually want to do what she was doing at this station during the Kaiser rule. Khun states that in the end, it appears that Alphine will remain loyal to the Lo Po Bia Family in order to keep the sitaution from escalating any further, and that she will resolve any internal issues that the station is currently dealing with. Explaining how Name Hunt Station will work from here on out, Khun states that Alphine will have a rough job since no matter what, there will always be a barrier between the named, and no-names of the station.
However, Khun points out that this is a problem that the people of the station needs to resolve themselves, and that they have no reason at this point to step in and help them resolve it. Shibisu asks if this really is the right decision, which Bam is the next to speak stating that they have no choice but to trust Alphine to fix the no-name / named barrier herself since they need to hurry back to the Hell Train as soon as possible. Bam says to Shibisu and Khun that they can only hope that the people of Name Hunt Station are willing to move forward as well. Within the station, the remaining members of the Ten Bosses, Alphine and Lulu, are seen having a meeting with the Regulars of the station, which include Gramon and his partner.
In their no-name residence room, Khun takes a seat on Rak, who's trying to get some rest on his bed. Khun breathes a sigh of relief stating that they will need to get going towards the Hell Train soon now that they have Kaiser's name. He also asks if this means that all they got left to do now is to head towards the Floor of Death. Rak complains by ordering the blue turtle to move given his injuries, which Khun plays dumb acting surprise that the alligator was here with them.
Khun also taunts Rak as a loser, and begins laughing at the alligator for losing a fight against a member of the Arie Family, which enrages Rak. Looking out the window, Bam calls for Khun's attention, and asks if Name Hunt Station can really go through a change. Khun answers that it will probably be tough, but could eventually become a decent Hell Train station if the named Regulars are able to get passed their greed.
He also points out to Bam that it's normal throughout the Tower for there to be unequal Floors, and figures that what they saw at Name Hunt Station may just be their true human nature. Khun then states that there's no point changing that kind of thing since they aren't technically gods, which catches Bam's attention. Bam gives off a smile agreeing that Khun is most likely right regarding this case. However, Bam thinks to himself that after listening to what Khun just said to him, there was a brief moment where he wished that they were actually gods.
Bam next states that he has something he wishes to ask Khun, which surprises the latter. He states that Khun seems a bit off, and that the reason Khun is reacting this way is because something probably happened yesterday. Before Khun could answer however, Endorsi calls out Bam's name, and breaks down the door to their room.
Shibisu calls out to her trying to stop Endorsi as she yells at Bam asking why he never told her that he's aiming for the 43rd Floor of Death. Khun remains confused over the situation wondering why the Princess can't do anything quietly while Rak complains to them to keep it down as he's still trying to get some rest.
Confused by Endorsi's words, Bam states that he was sure he told her about his journey to the Floor of Death at an earlier time. However, Endorsi replies that she wasn't listening back then, and asks once more if he's really going to the 43rd Floor of Death. Bam answers that he is, which Endorsi asks to allow her to come with him. Endorsi's statement shocks Bam and company as he asks why she would suddenly decide to go there since it's better for her to just stay off the Hell Train. In return, Endorsi answers that she heard a rumor that a Jahad Princess she always wanted to meet is actually currently living on the Floor of Death.
Thinking it over, Endorsi admits that going alone to the Floor of Death would be scary, and has been thinking about it for a long time that she actually wants to meet the Jahad Princess. She points out that she could certainly meet her if she was to have a guide like Hwaryun at her side helping her move around the 43rd Floor of Death to reach said Princess. Bam reminds her that she would need an Express Ticket to board the Hell Train, but she pulls out one to show that she actually managed to obtain said ticket, which shocks Bam and Khun. She explains that one of the Ten Bosses she defeated earlier was actually a holder of a Hell Train Express Ticket. Bam begins to sweat asking Khun if this is ok, which even Khun admits that even he isn't so sure about this. The answer enrages Endorsi as she asks if Bam and Khun are implying that they don't want her to come along.
Endorsi points out that Bam should be thanking her for offering herself to join along with their 43rd Floor expedition. Bam struggles to answer why, but states quietly that he doesn't think it would be a good idea for Endorsi and Yuri to meet one another. A moment later, the no-named building begins to shake, which surprises Bam and company as they hear a loud noise coming from outside.
Looking out their window, Bam and company spot the beginning of the battle going on between Yuri and Evan going up against Karaka as a massive explosion destroys the Name Hunt Station bridge that leads back to the Hell Train. Khun is able to make out Yuri, but remains confused as to who the other person she's fighting is. The annoyed Yuri asks where Karaka thinks he's attacking since the bridge being destroyed will end up keeping Bam from returning to the Hell Train. Preparing another ball of shinsu, Karaka replies that he doesn't care about the damage he does to the surrounding area since it's a part of his plan to keep Bam from returning to the Hell Train anyway. He also warns Yuri that she should be more concerned about her own life at the moment, which enrages Yuri to the point of calling the FUG Slayer a bastard.
Karaka sends a massive shinsu ball towards Evan and Yuri, which the Princess orders Evan to handle it on his hand to keep the FUG Slayer away from the path. Evan agrees to do so as he pulls something out of one of his pockets. Karaka remains confused as to what Evan is about to do as he watches the guide put an object on the tip of his right middle-finger known as the Frog Fisher. Evan activates an ability of the Frog Fisher known as Third Desire: Hunger, which causes Karaka's massive shinsu ball to be eaten by the item.
The Frog Fisher gives off a burp after eating the massive shinsu ball as Karaka remains floating in the air realizing that his enemies have a means to absorb his attacks. Evan calls out Karaka as a reckless one since said FUG Slayer has chosen to face off against two High Rankers. The guide figures that Karaka must have felt confident enough to step off the Hell Train since his only goal is to stop Bam from returning to the Hell Train.
However, Evan warns Karaka that the two of them are more than capable enough to face off against a FUG Slayer who's still just a rookie in FUG's Seat of Power. Evan leaves off threatening Karaka that the FUG Slayer has made a decision he will not be able to take back after attacking them.
Karaka asks if the item on Evan's finger is able to absorb attacks, which Evan answers to be the case, and that it's known as a Frog Fisher. Evan explains that the Frog Fisher has five different Desire abilities, and that the one Karaka just witnessed eating his shinsu sphere was the Desire known as Hunger. Activating his Frog Fisher once more, Evan states that the next Desire he's about to show off is known as Restoration.
Aiming it at the direction of the destroyed Name Hunt Station bridge, rubble begins to gather towards it, and begins to remake the path to the Hell Train. The FUG Slayer looks to the station bridge being repaired by Evan's Frog Fisher, and remains confused as to how the path can suddenly be repaired to the point of not leaving a single trace that it had been destroyed moments beforehand.
Karaka deduces that the Frog Fisher's Restoration Desire isn't such a simple repair process, but is actually an item that can return broken objects to the original state they were in beforehand. He admits that Evan has hold of quite a remarkable item. Meanwhile a few moments beforehand, Bam and company watch the beginning of the fight unfold between Yuri and Evan against Karaka.
Endorsi asks what's going on since the fight ended up completely destroying the bridge to the Hell Train, and asks who the damn tin head guy was that was the cause of it being destroyed. Seeing the tin head guy (Karaka) in the distance, Bam thinks to himself that he's definitely seen him from somewhere before. Khun deduces that with the bridge destroyed, they have no choice but to ride along with Endorsi when she activates the Bong Bong fairy. He adds that they have no choice at this put but to go together with Endorsi back to the Hell Train, which enrages the latter asking why Khun is treating her like baggage.
Endorsi explains that using her Bong Bong fairy will only get them so far, and is impossible to carry so many people at once. She adds that it's even more dangerous if she took injured people along. Endorsi suggests that for the best results, the distance to transport people with the Bong Bong fairy needs to be short. A moment later, Bam and company notice that Evan has started using some sort of skill (the Frog Fisher) to begin repairing the bridge back to the Hell Train. Endorsi informs the group that the dwarf guide is apparently rebuilding the path to the Hell Train, and states that this is their chance to make a run for the express before it gets destroyed again.
Bam and company head out to the next room to get moving as Sachi and company reunite with them. They mention the giant battle going on near the Hell Train, which Khun states that they obvious saw it as well, and that they need to use this chance to get back to the Hell Train.
Shibisu warns them that going out there is dangerous at the moment since it's a fight between Rankers, but Khun replies that they have no choice since they won't be able to make it back to the Hell Train if the bridge gets destroyed again. Khun gives the order for everyone who's ready to get to the floating transport to leave the no-name residence as they don't have any more time to waste, which Bam's group agrees to do. As Bam's companions begin to move out, Sia asks for Nobic to wait up as they still have a problem regarding Ran, as well as the others who are still injured.
Overhearing Sia's words, Khun admits that he forgot about this being caught up in the moment as he remembers that they have some companions at the moment who can't even walk to the Hell Train in this current situation. From his bed, the heavily injured Ran listens closely to Khun's words, which the latter explains to everyone that the Name Hunt Station area outside the Hell Train has become a war zone between Rankers. Khun warns Bam and company that if anyone was to fall behind on the way back to the Hell Train, they will easily get caught up in the Ranker fight. As a result, Khun suggests that it should only be those who can board the Hell Train as safely as possible to be the ones that make a break for the express. Within her room, the injured Ehwa notices the battle going on outside the Hell Train, and sees that the destroyed bridge back to the express is slowly being restored.
Ehwa then hears the voices of her comrades inside the residence stating that they need to get going as Ehwa runs out asking Bam and company to take her with them. Danhwa, who's holding himself up using his Krishna sword as a crutch, is also seen appearing before them wanting to be taken along.
Returning to the battle outside the Hell Train, Karaka continues to remain floating on standby as Evan continues to restore the broken bridge with his Frog Fisher item. Karaka thinks over how the Frog Fisher appears to be limited to fixing certain inanimate objects, but is amazed that Evan's item has such an ability to return things to a past state. The FUG Slayer admits once more that Evan truly does have a remarkable item. At this point, Yuri is the next to speak taunting Karaka that it appears his plan has taken a hit, which catches his attention.
Yuri states that she's deduced how Karaka must have thought his plan would turn out to be a success as long as he kept Bam from returning to the Hell Train. She asks if her deduction is correct since Karaka won't be able to touch Bam within the Hell Train as the interior of it is a complete D-rank Regular zone. She calls Karaka out that avenging his subordinate is just a convenient excuse for him in order to take the chance of exiting the Hell Train, and destroy the station bridge as quickly as possible before anyone notices. Karaka replies that he just has to get rid of the two Rankers before him, and go back to destroying the bridge.
Cracking her knuckles, Yuri is glad to see that Karaka is full of such confidence, but warns him that getting too cocky will result in his death. Yuri then quickly disappears from Karaka's sight, and appears above him claiming that he won't be able to beat her. She lands her Nuclear Punch technique on Karaka, and while he manages to block it in time, he's shot directly downwards due to the power of Yuri's attack. The tremendous power of the Nuclear Punch surprises Karaka, who admits that Yuri has proved herself a worthy member of the Great Ha Family. Preparing for another massive attack, Yuri warns Karaka that she's about to send another one at him as Karaka thinks to himself that he will be caught up in a dangerous situation if he ends up getting hit by Yuri's next move.
Karaka uses the Karaka-Type Shinsu Control Skill: World of Darkness technique in order to summon many black spheres into the area, which surprises Yuri. He then uses his Black Twilight skill in order to stop Yuri's second attack from reaching him. Yuri is left amazed that Karaka actually managed to stop her from reaching his location while Karaka is left disappointed that he couldn't cause even the slightest bit of damage to the Ha Princess.
Thinking over Karaka's Black Twilight defense, Yuri concludes that she felt it very clearly that if she fails to kill Karaka here, he will one day become one of her greatest enemies. Excited that she hasn't fought like this in ages, Yuri prepares another massive attack, and states to Karaka that she will use her full power this time as the two charge at one another.
Meanwhile, Bam and company reach the beginning of the Name Hunt Station bridge as Evan continues to repair it using his Frog Fisher. The group spots the massive battle going on beneath the bridge between Yuri and Karaka, and are shocked to see how crazy everything has gotten. Seeing the giant black spheres, and massive explosions going on beneath them, Shibisu is left speechless at the sight of a fight between Rankers. The scared Shibisu asks Khun if they're really going to cross the bridge while that's going on, which Khun admits that what they're witnessing is just insane.
Khun thinks things over, and finds it odd that the 39th Floor Guardian hasn't stepped in yet to intervene with a Ranker battle going down on a Floor meant for D-rank Regulars. He wonders if the Guardian perhaps sees this as a necessary battle, but still finds it strange that the Guardian is taking the risk of having Regulars get caught up in a battle between Rankers. Looking back to the massive Ranker battle going down, Khun is left wondering why the Guardian is allowing this fight to happen. As Evan continues to restore the bridge, he spots Bam and company at the edge of it, and is shocked to see that they've decided to board the Hell Train at this very moment.
Evan admits he understands why they're rushing given that they must have seen the bridge broken beforehand, but remains worried due to how dangerous the current situation is, and could result in them dieing if they go out while the Ranker battle is going on. Bam and company gather around Khun, who explains to the group that they will make a break for the Hell Train while the one fighting Yuri remains distracted. He also reminds Bam and company that the enemy Ranker won't be able to chase after them once they manage to board the Hell Train anyway. Khun states that the plan is simply to make it to the Hell Train before the bridge gets destroyed again.
Pointing the group to the bridge with the Ranker battle going on beneath it, Khun explains to Bam and company that the moment they step on the bridge, they will no longer be considered protected Regulars of Name Hunt Station. He points out that they're safe as long as they continue to remain on the station, but once they begin walking down the bridge, the possibility of them getting dragged into the Ranker fight will become huge. Khun warns Bam and company that given the battle involves attacks between Rankers, they will be vaporized instantly if they were to get hit by one of them.
Explaining how they will get to the Hell Train, Khun states that they will run across the bridge as quickly as possible towards the express. Once they reach the gaps in the bridge that hasn't been repaired by Evan just yet, they will use Endorsi's Bong Bong fairy to reach the other side. After that, they will continue to run as fast as they can towards the Hell Train depending on how well each person's individual abilities are. Khun warns Bam and company once more that they will be toast if they're caught out by one of the Ranker attacks, and adds that it will be impossible to try to save comrades that are on the verge of getting caught out, especially those who are currently injured.
Khun explains that apart from Beta, who was transferred over to his lighthouse, the rest of Team Nobic have decided to stay behind in order to look after Ran, who was ultimately way too injured to continue on. He then looks to the next problem, which are the other injured companions who are still here, Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa.
Ehwa assures him that she will be able to make it back to the Hell Train, but Khun warns her that she's being too reckless at the moment since she can't even walk properly to make it across the bridge. Ehwa replies that she's already made up her mind to fight alongside Bam and company, and join their expedition to the 43rd Floor of Death. She also reminds them that doing so forced her to leave Team Tangsooyook, and that she won't be able to face them again if she was to give up now. Ehwa yells at Khun that she's definitely going to make it back to the Hell Train, even if she has to risk her life doing it.
Bam is left unable to say anything regarding Ehwa's determination, and asks Khun what he thinks of this. Khun answers that they have no choice given that Ehwa has made up her mind that she's ready for anything, and won't be able to stop her by any means. The answer gets Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa excited, but Khun warns them that everyone is going to be responsible for their own lives. Looking at the massive Ranker battle going on behind him at the bridge, Khun reminds them that the war zone they're about to enter will make it impossible to help anyone else, which they accept.
Shibisu is the next to speak, asking everyone to be careful since the rest of Team Shibisu apart from Endorsi are going to be staying at the station in order to continue climbing the Tower. He also states to Bam and company that he would prefer to stop them from returning to the Hell Train if he could, but knows that they have their reasons to go to the 43rd Floor of Death. Shibisu leaves off asking Bam and Khun to watch over Endorsi, and that they will meet again at a higher Floor, which the two agree that they surely will.
As he continues to fix the bridge while the explosive fight between Yuri and Karaka continues beneath it, Evan begins to fear for the worst seeing that Bam and his companions have begun to race across the bridge towards the Hell Train. Evan figures that at this point, he won't be able to stop them, and has no choice but to make sure that Karaka doesn't notice them at all costs. Pulling out a new item alongside his Frog Fisher, Evan calls for his Adam's Glove as four large gloves (two blue and two red) shoot off in different directions, and create some sort of barrier around Bam and company. The Adam's Glove, known as an invisible item, creates a special barrier that blocks all sounds within it, and appears invisible to those who are on the outside.
Bam and company continue to run along the bridge as Khun notes that he no longer hears the sound of his footsteps. Seeing the four gloves creating the barrier around him, Khun wonders if it's perhaps some kind of item that gets rid of sound within said barrier. Khun finds the barrier support to be amazing, and is glad that they have a High Ranker, such as Evan, on their side. He warns the rest of the group to make sure to minimize their use of shinsu and items as they're currently dealing with an enemy who isn't ordinary, which Bam agrees with. Continuing along the bridge, Endorsi races ahead, and reaches the edge of the broken portion of it that's still slowly being restored by Evan. Looking to the other side, Endorsi figures that this is a good turn of events since they should be able to make it to the other side without the guy currently fighting Yuri noticing.
She calls back to Bam and company to hurry up asking if they want to get themselves killed, which Khun complains back that Endorsi is way to fast for them when they run on foot. Bam thinks to himself in agreement that it really is tough to keep up with Endorsi when they're forced move without shinsu skills. Summoning her Bong Bong fairy, Endorsi informs the people who've made it so far that it appears the people who are injured have fallen behind for now. Ordering her Bong Bong to get going, she transports Bam, Khun, Sachi, and Boro, across the broken portion of the bridge first.
Meanwhile beneath the Name Hunt Station bridge, the battle between Yuri and Karaka continues. Yuri zooms around dodging each of the black World of Darkness spheres. She manages to get close again to Karaka, but has her attack blocked once more by the appearance of a new sphere, which greatly irritates her knowing that the black spheres surrounding Karaka keep absorbing her moves. Karaka taunts the Ha Princess that no matter what, his World of Darkness technique will neutralize all incoming attacks, even if they're from people with High Ranker status.
Yuri backs off once more as Karaka thinks over the current state of the battle. He goes over how people who usually touch his World of Darkness spheres usually end up getting sucked into it, and are forever trapped in the darkness world. However, this doesn't appear to be the case with Yuri due to her powerful body, which Karaka admits that this proves that the physical abilities of the Ha Princess are astonishing. However, he is glad to know that Yuri hasn't caught onto a different secret that his World of Darkness ability has.
Thanking Yuri for her efforts, Karaka begins to create a World of Darkness Bang, and informs the Ha Princess that it has the ability to give all the damage it took in back on the attacker, which confuses Yuri. Using the World of Darkness: Damage Counter - Rain of Darkness skill, Karaka sends a massive black beam of shinsu in Yuri's direction, which she gets caught up in. The Damage Counter - Rain of Darkness beam ends up going through the station bridge as well, which the injured Danhwa just barely manages to evade. Danhwa remains hanging off the edge of the remaining part of the bridge as Ehwa races back to try to help him back up.
Looking up after his attack begins to subside, Karaka figures that his massive Damage Counter - Rain of Darkness counter must have damaged Yuri. In the distance, Yuri re-establishes herself admitting that Karaka's last attack made her worry for a moment, which surprises Karaka seeing that the Ha Princess wasn't affected at all. Karaka finds this impossible that he hasn't managed to damage Yuri as all, which the Ha Princess complains that Karaka went ahead and destroyed the bridge again after Evan spent so much time to fix the path back up.
Looking to the bridge, Yuri is shocked to see some of Bam's companions out on the bridge while a Ranker fight is going on. Rak is seen racing back to Ehwa asking what's going on as Ehwa pulls up Danhwa, who was hanging on the edge. Bam calls out to Ehwa worried about the injured group, but Khun warns him not to go back as they need to get back to the Hell Train.
Meanwhile, Endorsi is seen using her Bong Bong a second time in order to carry Hwaryun and Iruroe over the broken gap in the bridge. Yuri continues to look at Bam and company move across the bridge, and is able to put together that they're going for the Hell Train while the Ranker fight is going on. She admits that the plan was unexpected, but worries that Karaka may end up noticing.
Karaka silently looks up at the bridge, but questions what's going on up there as something about this current situation doesn't feel right. After being pulled back up onto the bridge, Danhwa apologizes for what happened as Rak urges him and Ehwa to get moving again.
Endorsi prepares to head back for the three remaining injured Regulars that haven't crossed yet, and figures that she can finish the last transport quickly by going all the way back with the Bong Bong fairy, but Khun warns her to stay put for now. Beginning to sweat, Khun explains that something about their current situation feels off, which confuses Endorsi.
Karaka continues to look at the bridge in silence as Evan, who's still at work restoring the bridge, begins to worry that Karaka may have noticed Bam and company. The FUG Slayer if left wondering if he imagined what he may have sensed earlier as Yuri breathes a sigh of relief seeing that Karaka still isn't sure that Bam and his companions are currently trying to cross the bridge. She concludes that the boldness of Bam's group to take the chance crossing the bridge may turn out to be effective for them to get through this. Pulling out a new weapon out of a large red sheath, Yuri figures that she needs to make sure that Karaka's attention stays on her.
Karaka turns his attention back to Yuri knowing the new weapon she's wielding, which the Ha Princess states that it is indeed the needle known as Kranos. Yuri explains that Kranos is known for being one of the most powerful weapons as it used to be carried by Quadrado, a High Ranker that traveled alongside the Ten Great Family leaders up the Tower. She also points out that Quadrado's life story is drawn on the sealing stone of the Kranos needle. Yuri then states to Karaka that Quadrado ended up losing this weapon during a past encounter with Urek, and warns Karaka that the Kranos needle is so unfairly powerful that it allows someone to use ultimate ignition at least once regardless of what Floor it's currently on.
Preparing Kranos, Yuri says to Karaka that she brought it along in the hopes that she would get to use it on the lower Tower Floors, and then warns Karaka that it finally looks like the right time to use it. In return, Karaka thinks to himself that he was careless here as he never thought that Princess Yuri would bring along such a weapon.
Karaka realizes the danger he's in as despite Kranos being just one shot, he doesn't have any current items that will be able to stop such a monster weapon on the low 39th Floor. He deduces that Kranos is the type of weapon that will upset the balance of the battle as Yuri announces to the FUG Slayer that it's time to end this as she's gotten tired of playing ball with him.
Yuri gives a glance towards Khun, which catches his attention realizing that the Ha Princess has caught onto Bam and company's plan. He sends out the order to Endorsi to use the Bong Bong fairy to get to Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa, as soon as possible, which confuses Endorsi since Khun ordered her to wait beforehand. Khun replies that while it will be dangerous, they definitely have a chance, and orders her once more to take the chance to grab the remaining injured Regulars on the bridge, or else it's all over. He also urges Bam and the others who've already crossed the bridge to make their way to the Hell Train.
Bam asks what Khun means by chance, which Khun answers that it will probably happen during the time that Yuri ignites the weapon (Kranos) she's currently wielding. Meanwhile, Rak picks up Danhwa to carry him as he and Ehwa begin making their way across the bridge again. Khun explains that the plan is to use Endorsi's Bong Bong fairy to get the injured Regulars in the Bong Bong as soon as possible to get away from Yuri's weapon.
He points out that the reason Yuri pulled out the weapon was so that no matter what, the person she's fighting will have no choice but to look in her direction to be prepared for a powerful ignition blast. Karaka continues to look up at Yuri as she prepares the Kranos weapon, but remains confused as to what's going on.
The FUG Slayer thinks over that there's something off as to why Yuri would suddenly decide to pull out Kranos at this very moment. Karaka wonders if it's just Yuri boasting at him with confidence, or its perhaps some kind of bluff. However, he takes another look at the bridge being repaired by Evan, and begins to put together what might actually be going on. At that same time, Yuri orders as the master for the Kranos needle to destroy everything in front of her in a single flash. She yells at Kranos to ignite as a giant mass of shinsu energy begins to swarm around Yuri and the powerful needle, which surprises Karaka. However, Yuri remains confused as to why Karaka isn't using this moment to get out of the way of the Kranos blast.
Seeing that Yuri has ignited her weapon, Khun gives the order to get moving, which Endorsi does so as she activates the Bong Bong fairy again in order to grab Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa. At this point, Karaka is shocked to see that he now sees at the bridge what he couldn't previously as he spots the Bong Bong fairy in the distance. As the Kranos ignition blast comes toward him, Karaka charges head-on towards it, which confuses Yuri seeing that the FUG Slayer is crazy and insane enough to go against an attack that even High Rankers wouldn't be able to withstand. Karaka summons his Armor Inventory known as the Steel Tree to try to withstand the blast of the Kranos, but quickly realizes that it won't be enough as the attack easily breaks through said Armor Inventory. Pulling out his left hand before the Kranos blast, Karaka figures that his only option as this point is to sacrifice one of his arms for now.
The Kranos blast explodes beneath Yuri, which leaves her even more confused wondering if Karaka chose to just self-destruct. On the bridge, Endorsi is seen reaching the location of Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa, and informs them that it's time for them to go, which Ehwa thanks her for for coming back for them. However, a voice behind them asks for Jue Viole Grace, which shocks everyone realizing that Karaka survived Yuri's attack. With his left hand blown off, and creating a shinsu ball in his right hand, Karaka asks Endorsi and company who he needs to kill in order to make Jue Viole Grace appear before him.
Bam calls out to Rak and company unable to believe that Karaka is at their location, but Khun warns him not to go. Yuri is also annoyed by the current situation as she didn't expect Karaka to put his life on the line in order to reach Bam's group. Evan is also left stunned in disbelief over what just happened as he thinks over how the invisibility mode of his Adam's Glove item was disabled for a moment due to the Kranos ignition.
He admits that the rumors about Karaka being a tough guy was indeed true seeing that the FUG Slayer would risk his life simply to capture this moment to reach Bam. Looking at Karaka threatening Endorsi and the injured Regulars, Evan is left wondering how he should handle this since Karaka is now in position to take people hostage.
Karaka yells out for Jue Viole Grace to come out of hiding, and threatens to kill the Regulars before him if he doesn't appear. The threat stuns Bam realizing that Karaka was after him this whole time, which Khun agrees to be the case. Khun thinks to himself how it's most likely that the guy threatening them is from FUG, and is probably a FUG Slayer given that he was able to take on a High Ranker Princess in Yuri Jahad. However, Khun remains confused as to where such a big shot FUG member suddenly came from.
Yuri places Kranos back into its sheath, but is left annoyed that she was caught off guard due to Karaka risking his life to go after the Regulars. She's also glad that Evan is still managing to hide the rest of Bam's group despite Karaka holding four of them hostage. Yuri figures that given the situation they're now in, the worst-case scenario is to leave the four Karaka is threatening, and to just make it back to the Hell Train with the people still safe in Bam's group. Meanwhile, Endorsi notes how she's unable to move due to Karaka immobilizing her as Karaka yells out once more for Jue Viole Grace to appear if he doesn't want to see his companions die. Preparing to kill Endorsi and company, Karaka aims his shinsu Bang them ordering once more for Viole to show up.
Bam begins to run towards them worried for his companions, but Khun grabs hold of him to try to stop the former. Despite Khun trying to get him to stop, Bam tells Khun that he has to go as he can't let people who have nothing to do with it die simply because someone is looking for Viole. Bam orders Khun to get to the Hell Train with the rest of the group as it will be better for him if there's the least amount of people possible here that could end up being used as hostages.
Khun warns Bam that he's in no position to resolve the problem given that they're dealing with a FUG Slayer Ranker. Pulling out his wig, Bam informs Khun that given how Karaka is a member of FUG, he won't be able to kill Viole right away, who's a Slayer Candidate. Bam leaves off stating that he will follow behind them after this as he heads off to meet Karaka. Khun is left in a worried state, but Hwaryun assures him that Bam can be sent off without them having to worry. Hwaryun assures Khun that Bam isn't going to die here, which confuses Khun. The guide states that it's because the boy is now on a path that he must take. Watching Bam put on the Viole wig, Hwaryun orders Khun to stop worrying, and head for the Hell Train now.
Evan remains above the bridge unable to do anything, but is shocked to see Bam appearing out of the Adam's Glove invisibility barrier. Yuri also notices Bam, but remains confused as to why he appeared wearing a long-haired wig. Ehwa is shocked to see Viole appearing as Karaka sees that he's finally getting to meet the new Slayer Candidate, Jue Viole Grace. In return, Bam summons his shinsu platform to get himself over to Karaka quicker as he drops off to stand in front of the FUG Slayer. Bam orders Karaka to let the hostages go now that he's come out of hiding.
However, Karaka informs Viole that he can't do that since without the hostages, the High Rankers (Yuri and Evan) would be free to attack him afterwards. Holding his massive gold-and-black shinsu Bang in front of the four hostages (Endorsi, Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa), Karaka warns Viole to not do anything foolish as he could instantly kill his companions with just the snap of his fingers. In return, Bam asks who the person is that's talking to him, which confuses Karaka for a moment.
The FUG Slayer quickly realizes this embarrassing moment as he never actually properly introduced himself yet since he was caught up in the moment having heard so much about Viole until now. Floating before Bam, Karaka properly introduces himself as a FUG Slayer, and that this is his first ever encounter with an upcoming Slayer Candidate. The introduction shocks Bam, who begins to remember the person known as Karaka.
Bam asks if the reason Karaka came in person this time around was because he thought his subordinates wouldn't be enough to capture Viole this time around. He also asks if Karaka being here means he's after the Thorn, but the FUG Slayer answers that the Thorn is useless since it can't be used by anyone else unless Viole gets melted into it. Karaka answers that the reason he's here is simply to stop Viole from returning to the Hell Train, which Bam replies that that's not for the FUG Slayer to decide. However, Karaka answers that it is since Viole is getting in the way of a great FUG Slayer trying to come back to life. Remaining silent thinking things over, Bam then speaks to Karaka how he was once told by his master (Jinsung) that Karaka is someone who's using FUG for his own revenge.
Bam points out that it's possible FUG may be using Karaka for their own means as well, but he also informs Karaka of how Jinsung is worried that one day, Karaka's madness will end up endangering everyone. Meanwhile, a transport ship with Jinsung and Elaine is seen flying away from Name Hunt Station. Elaine remains looking out the window of the ship as Jinsung is left wondering if a certain something has already arrived on another Tower Floor.
Bam continues to speak to Karaka that he doesn't understand why the FUG Slayer is choosing to cause chaos for everyone else, but what he does know is that Karaka is currently bothering the people around him, and is now even trying to control someone most precious to him. He warns Karaka that it angers him seeing the FUG Slayer harass the people around him. Karaka asks why he should care, which Bam replies by ordering him to let his companions go. He states to Karaka that whatever the FUG Slayer decides to do from now on, he hopes that Karaka will go about minding his own business.
However, Bam warns Karaka that he won't stand around and take it anymore if Karaka continues to harass his companions, which strikes a nerve in the FUG Slayer. Preparing a new shinsu attack, Karaka asks how a mere Slayer Candidate can go about threatening someone who's currently a FUG Slayer. However, Karaka senses something behind him as a massive red ball of shinsu is seen being held up by Yuri. The Ha Princess warns Karaka that if he lays a finger on Bam, she won't stand for it either. While the confrontation between Karaka and Bam is going on, Ehwa whispers to Endorsi to grab the latter's attention.
Ehwa explains that if they can distract Karaka for a brief moment, Endorsi can use her Bong Bong fairy to get Viole to the Hell Train, which confuses Endorsi asking what Ehwa is trying to do. Endorsi admits that she can get Viole and herself to the Hell Train using the Bong Bong fairy, but remains confused as to how they're supposed to create some sort of distraction against a monster FUG Slayer.
Ehwa states that her plan is to create a path using Danhwa's Krishna sword, which will provide Endorsi enough time to get Viole to the Hell Train using the Bong Bong. However, Endorsi asks how this is supposed to help Ehwa, Rak, and Danhwa, out of this. Danhwa is the next to speak stating that he's ok with this as it would be better for Bam and Endorsi to get to the Hell Train rather than all get taken hostage, and just be a burden. He agrees with Ehwa's logic, and states that they will find a way to survive after getting Bam and Endorsi out of here. Danhwa reminds Endorsi that they made the promise at the beginning as the three injured Regulars that they will find a way to survive, which shocks Endorsi.
On Bam's end, he receives a message on his Pocket from Endorsi, which catches his attention. Endorsi asks for him to find a way to distract Karaka for a brief moment. Confused by what's going on, he looks over at Endorsi, and sees her motioning to him to do something. Beginning to sweat, Bam becomes even more confused wondering what Endorsi is trying to do. Endorsi continues to motion at him to do something as Bam turns his attention back at Karaka. Calling out Karaka's name, Bam manages to grab the FUG Slayer's attention again. Seeing the red ring on Karaka's hand, Bam mentions how he met someone previously who was wearing the exact same ring. The revelation stuns Karaka as he becomes enraged, and orders Viole to answer where he saw the person. The change in Karaka's persona shocks Yuri and Evan seeing that Bam managed to get the FUG Slayer to drop his guard for a brief moment.
During that moment, Ehwa uses this chance to swing an ignition blast from the Krishna sword to distract Karaka as Endorsi sets off with the Bong Bong fairy to grab Bam. However, to Karaka and Bam's surprise, the Krishna blast wasn't aimed at the FUG Slayer, but was actually to cut off the bridge section Ehwa, Rak, and Danhwa were standing on. Bam calls out to Ehwa fearing for the worst as the bridge piece with her, Rak, and Danhwa, begin falling to the bottom of the 39th Floor. Ehwa's scheme enrages Karaka as he prepares to fire shinsu Bangs towards the three falling Regulars, as well as Endorsi using the Bong Bong fairy, who now has Bam in her hands. However, Yuri calls out to Evan to protect the five people Karaka's attacking which Evan agrees to do.
He sends out Adam's Glove to Bam and company's location, which blocks the Bangs from reaching any of the people Karaka attempted to kill. Bam looks to Ehwa asking why she did this, but Ehwa replies that everything will be ok. Now that Karaka has no hostages, Yuri sends her massive shinsu ball down upon Karaka using a technique known as Ha Yuri Jahad Shinsu Control Skill: Murderous Energy. From Name Hunt Station, the remaining members of Team Shibisu look upon the massive pillars of rose petals being summoned by Yuri, and remain confused as to what's going on.
Despite being protected by the station barrier that protects Regulars from Ranker attacks, Team Shibisu can still feel the pressure of the Ha Princess' enormous attack as Yuri uses Murderous Energy: Rose Shower to take over the entire area between the station and the Hell Train in an attempt to kill Karaka.
Meanwhile, Endorsi manages to fly Bam to the edge of the Hell Train entrance with her Bong Bong fairy. Bam calls out to Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa, hoping they're alright, but Endorsi warns him that they need to get into the Hell Train before they're overtaken by Yuri's Rose Shower attack. Bam refuses to go in, but Endorsi pulls him along as the door to the Hell Train closes shut.
Moments later within the Hell Train, Bam and Endorsi rest against the wall as the other five who made it back (Khun, Boro, Sachi, Hwaryun, and Iruroe) come to greet them. Seeing just the two of them, Khun asks if Bam is ok, and if something happened at the bridge. Boro asks why it's only the two of them that made it back to the Hell Train, but Bam begins to break down into tears fearing that something may have happened to Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa.
After Yuri's Rose Shower subsides outside the Hell Train, the Ha Princess calls out to Rak, Ehwa, and Danhwa hoping they're still alive somewhere. Not hearing any answer, Evan figures that they were too late. He deduces that if the three of them got caught up in the Rose Shower explosion, then this could only mean that the three Regulars were killed off.
At that same time within a hidden car of the Hell Train, a lone black sphere is seen within it. Using the World of Darkness: Infinite Past Lives skill, Karaka is seen appearing out of it, and walks back onto the floor of the Hell Train with his left arm now fully healed.
Having witnessed Yuri's powerful Rose Shower skill, Karaka realizes that Yuri was suppressing her full power out of fear that Viole and his Regular companions were going to get caught up in her attacks. He admits that the Ha Princess is extraordinarily powerful, and wonders how much Yuri will have grown the next time they meet one another.
Karaka thinks things over, and figures that he lost a lot on this most recent trip. He goes over how he not only failed to kill Princess Yuri Jahad, but also ended up allowing Viole and some of his companions to make it back onto the Hell Train. However, Karaka also thinks over how he ended up learning something unexpected and tremendous by hearing from Viole that someone else has a Jahad ring. The FUG Slayer realizes that his brother is alive.
At another location of the Hell Train, Wangnan is seen breathing heavily in exhaustion hiding behind a wall. Hearing someone in the dust claim that they will kill Wangnan if they find him, Wangnan prepares a shinsu ball as he prepares to face Cassano and Traveller.

She spends the next 1000 years working at Name Hunt Station paying off the debt, and to make matters worse, the Grey Wolf Family ends up wasting away the money Kaiser sends back to them.

However, there's no rule stating that you can't run away after Kaiser challenges you.

- Amongst the station bosses:
- Hesse gets easily disposed of to remind readers how strong Ran is.
