The episode begins with a demonstration of the destructive power of Holy Soalina, one of the "Seven Great Savior Saints" of the Idoragya continent, who annihilates her enemies in a spectacular floral burial of flames and flowers. Afterwards, she discusses her concern about an apocalypse omen in the Cursed Lands with a cardinal of the Holy Kingdom of Qualia and urges the dispatch of paladins for investigation. The cardinal initially refuses, as the Cursed Lands are located on the distant Dark Continent and Central Qualia would never grant permission for such an operation. Soalina insists and threatens to go herself, whereupon the cardinal reluctantly agrees to send a small force under his personal command.

Parallel to this, King Takuto Ira begins the internal development of his nation Mynoghra. After the official founding, he initiates the construction of food production facilities, including the eerie "Flesh Trees" (Fleischbäume), which produce nutritious meat but face reservations due to their human flesh-like taste. Simultaneously, he initiates research into military magic, which enables army combat and terrain manipulation, and plans the summoning of a hero instead of a large army to save resources and maintain camouflage.

During an inspection of the progress, Takuto and his subordinates discover that the land has transformed into a "Cursed Terrain" (Verfluchtes Terrain), which grants advantages to evil beings and disadvantages neutral/good beings. This confirms that the area now fully belongs to Mynoghra's domain, but also increases visibility to potential enemies. Atou demonstrates her abilities as a heroine to convince the Dark Elves of Mynoghra's power, which prompts Takuto to approve the construction of a palace to increase citizen satisfaction.

At the same time, the paladins Verdel and Lonius prepare for their mission to investigate the Cursed Lands. Verdel, an impetuous High Paladin, and Lonius, a dutiful Underpaladin, recruit mercenaries and set out for the dangerous Dark Continent, aware of their limited strength and the risks involved.

The episode ends with the progressing development of Mynoghra and the paladin investigation team approaching its territory.
