Despite the fact that the Ends' invasion on Verlina was effectively repulsed, the conflict has not yet finished. The Black King tightens his grip on the previously acquired land as the monster armies regroup. As Orte's residual soldiers battle to maintain power over long-oppressed demi-human races, new conflicts arise across the continent. While Ends get more powerful by the day, Toyohisa Shimazu remains comatose as a result of severe injuries sustained during the Battle of Verlina. Humanity's fate remains on a knife's edge, with adversaries on all sides.
