Having finally made it out of the tower, Yogiri and Tomochika are greeted with an apocalyptic scene—or at least, it would have been, if not for Yogiri accidentally killing the Dark God who’d been trapped there. Despite the flawless execution of the goddess Vahanato’s plans, they amounted to nothing more than releasing her lover’s corpse from its imprisonment. After a quick visit from the Hedgehog and brief encounter with the Dark God’s surviving spawn, Yogiri and Tomochika are finally able to resume their journey to the capital. Meanwhile, with the disappearance of yet another Sage, Sion is finally beginning to realize just how much of a threat Yogiri is to their world.
