In this episode, Sunraku, Emul, and Bilac embark on a mission to help Bilac become an Ancient Craftsman. Their journey takes them through the Gorge of Ancient Souls, a place known for its miasma and undead creatures. Thanks to Sunraku's special marking, however, the group can traverse the gorge without encountering any monsters.

The trio discusses the dangers of the Crystal Scorpions, monstrous creatures that live on the cliffs of the gorge and are infamous for their deadly swarm attacks. Despite the risk, Sunraku is interested in fighting them later. The group's main objective is confronting the area's boss, who turns out to be the Droning Lich, a terrifying skeleton capable of unleashing curses. The battle reveals that physical attacks are ineffective unless they possess holy attributes, which none of the party members have prepared.

As the fight progresses, Sunraku and his team adapt to the situation. Emul's magical abilities become the key to their strategy, leading to the innovative "Rabbit Gun: Turret Palm" tactic. Despite setbacks—including Sunraku's realization that their offensive options against the Droning Lich are limited—they manage to hold their ground. Bilac works on a makeshift solution to craft a weapon capable of harming the lich.

The climax of the battle demands strategic teamwork and the use of special skills and buffs by Sunraku. After an intense fight, they defeat the Droning Lich and cleanse the gorge of its miasma.

Following the encounter, the group decides to rest and regroup to repair their equipment and explore the newly accessible areas. Despite warnings to exercise caution, Sunraku lets his curiosity drive him and sets off in search of the Crystal Scorpions.
