As Rondacia recovers from the foiled attack, the tragedy of Suna is revealed in flashback. Marlya, Veronica, and Ray are all from that village, and their lives are interconnected not only with one another, but with the fairies that once lived there.

Dorothea members are escorting Ray Dawn back to Kal-o when a bridge is sabotaged. Forced to stay the night in an old abandoned castle, they come under attack both by some artificial fairies and by Veronica, in her attempt to assassinate Ray.

Dorothea sets out to round up and interrogate as many Arcame members as they can find in Rondacia, and clues point to Christoph Rahn's involvement in Diese's rebellion. Meanwhile, both Marlya and Free are having trouble dealing with personal issues.

A chapter of the Black Fairy Tome turns up at the port island city of Baleun, and multiple parties converge there in an attempt to claim it. Newly formed alliances prove to be fluid and unpredictable, as various secrets begin to come to light.

Damien confesses to Dorothea about his identify and his ties to Veronica, along with information on the Black Fairy Tome. Based on information provided by Sweetie, Dorothea begins rounding up members of Gui Carlin in an effort to gather more tome pieces.

Suspicions about the Ministry of Fairies grow as Dorothea launches a raid on Eajey's hideout. Gui Carlin might be on its last legs, but there are other, potentially more dangerous groups that want the Black Fairy Tome for their own ends.

It comes to light that the Marco Bellwood might have nefarious purposes for acquiring the last pieces of the Black Fairy Tome, as Marlya gradually learns more about how different her situation is from that of other Fairy Soldiers.

Bellwood and most of the Eins Order go into hiding, and a massive manhunt is launched to track them down. Marlya and Free locate someone from Marlya's past, but the news he tells them only makes the whole situation that much more alarming.

With the prime minister dead, Ray Dawn comes to Rondacia. Veronica is presumably close behind, meaning all three of the fairy-possessed are now in one place. Marlya desperately tries to locate Veronica before the order can complete its horrific plan.

The Eins Order launches an attack just prior to Golbarn's funeral. This results in most everyone in Dorothea being split up, and with Ray Dawn badly injured. Once Marlya is left by herself to guard Ray, Veronica chooses that time to exact her revenge.

Various battles are fought throughout Rondacia, as the revived Divine Beast slowly makes its way into the city, laying waste to everything in its path. It slowly dawns on Marlya that she might be the one who can put a stop to the lumbering catastrophe.

Free and Wolfran fight to put an end to Griff Mercer's ambition and what's left of the fanatical Eins Order. Meanwhile, Marlya and Veronica join forces directly against the Divine Beast. But how can something so overwhelmingly powerful be stopped?
