The clans agree and unite in an alliance. Following the meeting, Katzo harbors doubts about Sunraku’s decision to share information about Lycagon. Arthur, meanwhile, is concerned about SF-Zoo gaining access to Rabituza, which could lead to catastrophic consequences.

Sunraku returns to Crystal Scorpion nest, still fixated on acquiring a stinger. However, his usual teleportation exploit fails, and he falls victim to the scorpions.

He realizes the game devs have caught on to his exploit and fixed the Crystal Scorpions AI. Undeterred, he thinks up a new approach but needs to level up first to unlock the Sky Walker ability.

Bilac makes a breakthrough, discovering that the Magic Application Unit is actually a helmet that grants her the knowledge of ancient weapon-forging techniques. Her latest goal is to create a new Legacy Weapon using Scorpion crystals.

Sunraku, tired of his twin-blades, seeks a change and turns to Bilac for assistance. He sells a relic dropped by the Cannonball Golem to Peatz, only to be astounded to learn it’s a replica of the valuable Denier Sword.

With the newfound wealth, Sunraku purchases a new spellbook for Emul. Together, they test their skills against another Dullahan General, allowing Sunraku to level up and unlock the coveted Sky Walker ability.

Emboldened, Sunraku returns to the Crystal Scorpions nest and lures a dozen scorpions into pursuit. Using his newfound ability, he leaps to safety, leaving the scorpions to plummet to their doom off a cliff.
