Wizen is dead.

Noah chased him through the Damned Plains and into the Line itself. But he wasn’t the one that finished Wizen off. At the final moment, the ancient mage chose to sacrifice his life in exchange for the sake of a young demon. A girl by the name of Sticky, whose mere existence was the key to solving an ages-old problem and righting Decras’ greatest failure.

With Wizen gone, there was nothing left keeping Noah and the others in the Damned Plains. He returned victoriously to Arbitage alongside Lee, Moxie, and a whole new host of demonic students. And after ripping apart a few professors who dared try to kill his students, dealing with the Apostles, Reaching Rank 5, and fixing up a bunch of runes, the only thing Noah wants to do is a little rest and recovery.

Unfortunately, Father has different plans.

The old monster has finally made his move. Ancient schemes begin to reveal themselves all too late as the war for Arbalest’s very existence begins—and Father has already readied the finishing move.
