Shin and Rionne are in the Holy Land of Calkia, a city that has turned into a dungeon. They must navigate through the dangers to escape. Rionne explains that the Holy Lands are cities that fell during the twilight of prosperity and that powerful weapons are needed to defeat the monsters inhabiting them. Shin reassures Rionne of his abilities but is cautious about showing his full strength.

The duo plans to take a detour over the wall to avoid walking through the city. Shin's attempt to jump over the wall triggers an unexpected teleportation effect. They discover that the city functions like a dungeon, where teleportation orbs guide the way and restrict movement. To escape, they must follow these orbs and defeat all the monsters they encounter.

During their exploration, they encounter a Ghillie Waiz, a ghost monster that uses earth and wind magic. Shin and Rionne defeat it with the enchanted sword of Skullface, exploiting the monster's weakness to light. Shin reveals his mythical middle arm, Kakura, impressing Rionne with his hidden weaponry.

Further along their journey, they come across a Gillslai, a powerful slime monster immune to most attacks. Despite Rionne's initial overconfidence, Shin handles the situation with strategic precision, utilizing his skills to neutralize the threat.

Rionne grows curious about Shin's extensive preparation and mysterious abilities. Shin teaches Rionne the art of mimicry, a skill typically used only as a last resort to enhance combat effectiveness. This strengthens their bond and mutual respect.

As they approach the dungeon's exit, they encounter a regenerating griffin. Shin devises a plan to distract the monster while Rionne searches for a device to open the gate. Despite the griffin's resistance, Shin's relentless attacks and Rionne's successful retrieval of the device eventually allow them to escape.

After their adventure, Shin and Rionne prepare to leave the Holy Land. Shin's companions await them in Valmer, and they set off toward the Smelting Mountains. During a brief rest, Rionne expresses her gratitude and growing interest in Shin, appreciating his sincerity and skill.

As they settle down for the night, they notice smoke and realize a horde of monsters is advancing toward Valmer.
