Alicia survives her fall into the shaft of Elbe thanks to Clevatess' dark ichor, but struggles with suffocation and paralysis symptoms. She discovers Khordhwar's Regalia sword "Stream Splitter", but realizes she is not at the seabed, but on a gigantic Ancient One – the true cause of Khordhwar's defeat 300 years ago. Despite the Regalia's power, the creature proves invincible; Alicia uses the sword to escape, while the remaining bandits (Dagarn, Satch) are killed by the Arvensis and the Ancient One.

In parallel, Klen (Clevatess) communicates telepathically via ichor with Alicia. He is restricted in his human form at the bandit camp due to Vroko's magical smoke powder – it blocks his senses as a Dark Beast. Luna and the severely injured Nell are missing. Alicia educates Klen about magic: It uses Arcanacit and is only accessible to the gifted; Alicia herself possesses no magical talent.

During the search for Luna, Alicia and Klen find Vroko, who holds the baby hostage and threatens finger amputation. Alicia offers him the Regalia in exchange, but Vroko instead demands the whereabouts of all 13 Regalia weapons. When Alicia reveals the location of the weapons (bottom of the ravine on Luna Mountain), Vroko uses cloaking magic to escape with Luna. However, Alicia tracks him through Luna's crying and defeats him.

The dying Nell is saved by an ichor transfusion from Klen. For this, Alicia must temporarily die, as Klen can only control one ichor recipient. Nell awakens as "Nelluru" – with a regenerated body and a new name – and accepts the role as Luna's wet nurse.
