As ELPIS and Neodada clash in fierce combat across the holy city, Lia Frontier is mere steps away from opening Pandora’s Box at long last. But her incursion into the heart of humania hasn’t gone unnoticed, and humanity’s strongest are hot on her trail. With the future of each side at stake, a mother’s wish rings out and the Box opens… Whose dreams will decide fate’s final form?!

Pandora’s Box... must never be opened. Scale, wing, vine, hair...none of that mattered to Lia, because her friends and mother loved her. She lived happily and peacefully—an almost worry-free existence. As the sole member of humania on the island, of course she dreamed about meeting others of her kind. But she never really expected the joyous days to end...until they did. Until humans arrived and attacked her friends and family. Until she opened the box. And so began her lonely quest to save them all...

Her life turned upside down by Pandora’s Box, Lia Frontier has traveled to the Mechanical Forest in the hope of finding a ray of light in the darkness—but all that awaits her there is the overwhelming hatred of the people still suffering from the humans’ dirty tricks five years prior. To make matters worse, the man responsible has come back to the forest, this time in pursuit of Lia, and threatens to finish what he started unless Gjorr hands her over. Confronted by such hostility from all sides, and in a seemingly unwinnable situation, Lia finds the courage to do something nobody expects…

Searching for the truth behind Pandora’s Box, Lia Frontier heads for the Great Shrine of Necromanie—allegedly, where the truth of the entire world is assembled. However, since the rise of Humania, this isolated place has gained a reputation as a cursed land. What new disasters await Lia in this desolate corner of the world?!

Deep within the Great Temple of Necromanie, inside a mysterious hidden room, the scholar Serpiero recounts a tale of Humania’s brutality. In his struggle against their oppressive faith, he uncovered several shocking secrets—including the truth of Pandora’s Box?! According to the scholar, the next destination in Lia’s journey is the sacred mountain, Greyrope. But to get there, she must first escape the Temple alive...!
