In this episode, Rentt returns to the labyrinth despite being unsettled by the recent abductions, suggesting he can't take a break from his adventures. He encounters Clope, who has forged a new sword for Rentt capable of utilizing mana, spiritual energy, and divinity, reflecting Rentt's unique abilities. After testing the sword's capabilities, Rentt attempts a dangerous technique called Mana-Spirit Fusion, which could be fatal if misused.
The plot shifts when Rentt is approached by Ryuntus, a villager desperately trying to save his village from a monster known as the Lord of the Lake, which demands human sacrifices. Ryuntus begs Rentt for help to rescue his sister Amiris, who is next in line to be sacrificed. Although the village clings to tradition and Amiris has accepted her fate, Rentt decides to investigate further, suspecting there's more to the monster than meets the eye.
Rentt's investigation reveals that the monster is a scam orchestrated by merchants who use illusions to terrorize the village and abduct girls to sell them. Using his alchemical skills and quick wit, Rentt exposes the merchants' scheme, rescues the kidnapped girls, and restores peace to the village. Grateful for his heroism, the villagers invite him to their festival, but Rentt declines due to other obligations.
The episode ends with Rentt reflecting on the adventure and the fleeting nature of gratitude in his line of work. He discusses the events with Lorraine, acknowledges her assistance, and downplays the personal connections he's formed during his journey. The episode concludes with a teaser for the next adventure, which involves a Dragon's Blood Flower.
