In this chapter, a messenger delivers grim news of defeat to Severin, who, mistaking it for a victory, rushes it to the throne room of the wicked King Beelzebub. The king, darkly regal and dangerously unpredictable, lashes out upon learning of the loss, only to regain composure when he hears of a mysterious book and the boy who carries it. Through a mystical connection with a fly, he spies on the enemy camp, only to be jolted back to reality. With a cunning plan to bribe desperate men with gold and land, Beelzebub plots further treachery—welcoming his favorite double agent, Magnus, with wicked wit and dark amusement.

In this gripping chapter, Armor uncovers a hidden betrayal within the camp, exposing Magnus with the ancient and mysterious Book with No Name. As plans are set in motion for a secret march to the Coast of Light, a tense and eerie paranoia brews in the dusty town of Lindrell, where a group of suspicious tavern-goers become convinced that two harmless strangers are in fact legendary killers. Their fear spirals into wild superstition, seeing danger in every glance and movement, setting the stage for a darkly humorous and unsettling turn of events.

In this chapter, Sir Miser begins the battle with a dramatic prayer for victory, setting the tone for a clash that would define the fate of the Old Path. The warriors of Thralind charge with fury—Aphillion strikes true with his spear, Max crushes foes with his club, and Lug and Bash fight side by side, counting enemies and trading jokes amidst the chaos. Sir Miser demands surrender with theatrical pride, only to be humbled by a surprise blow. Meanwhile, young Johnny faces his first true test, overcoming fear to survive a deadly duel. As the last enemy falls, silence sweeps the field. Then, with the rising sun behind him, Armor climbs a hill and declares “VICTORY!”, and the weary but triumphant men echo his cry.
