After encountering Ange in Gaun, the Country of Beastkin and learning of the existence of the Apostles, Kelvin, the battle junkie Summoner from another world, and his companions decide to visit the Holy Empire of Deramis. There, they are granted an audience with Pope Philip, who offers them information on Iris, the alleged leader of the Apostles, and Serge, a Hero from lore. Just then, the famous Heroes of the current age happen to return from their own journey to the Western Continent. Unbeknownst to these two groups, Deramis will soon be plunged into a commotion as the Apostles enact the next part of their plot!

Kelvin, the battle junkie Summoner from another world, finally clashes with Leonhart Gaun, the king of the host country of the Beast King Festival. They bring all their strength, wits, and cunning to bear, each struggling to gain dominance over the other and proceed further in the tournament. At the same time, the organization who pulled the strings behind the Demon Lord incident and manipulated Trycen into declaring war on the rest of the continent seems to be on the move. Will this entity shrouded in mystery appear before Kelvin and his companions once again?

Kelvin, the battle junkie Summoner from another world, continues searching for powerful opponents even after becoming a Rank S adventurer and defeating the Demon Lord. He receives an invitation to Gaun, the Country of Beastkin, where two things are about to happen: a Naming Ceremony for him as a Rank S adventurer and the Beast King Festival. The former is good and all, but what really gets his blood pumping is the latter, which turns out to be a tournament hosted at the Gaun Mixed Fighting Arena, where all the greatest fighters from across the continent are expected to show up! As Kelvin and his companions continue making their way through the rounds, they encounter not only Goldiana’s sister disciple, but also a mysterious young girl who seems strangely similar to Sera. Who is she and what does she want? Come along for the ride as this black-clad Grim Reaper and his friends confront powerful foes one after another in the sixth volume of this epic journey!

Following his transmigration, during which he bartered away his memories in exchange for rare and powerful skills, Kelvin is fully enjoying his new life as an adventurer. After making a name for himself in Parth, becoming the city’s most famous and respected adventurer along with his close-knit motley crew, he next sets his sights on Toraj, the Country of Water. But what should have been a peaceful visit to satiate his heartfelt cry of “I haven’t had a grain of rice since arriving in this world—I want some rice!!” was, of course, never fated to go smoothly. The unfortunate (or fortunate?) souls who just happened to catch the attention of this sarcastic, adventurous battle junkie are…none other than the Heroes of Deramis?! Join this black-clad warrior and his allies as they continue to make a name for themselves in the second volume of this epic journey!
