But while deep in the forest, they encounter a beautiful and mysterious woman. At first, Illusia is wary that she was sent by the saint, but the woman has other things in mind: she wants to see Illusia’s Sacred Skills can allow him to defy the Divine Voice. Will this encounter be the key to opposing the Divine Voice? And could that bring Illusia closer to finally learning about its true intentions?!

The battle between Illusia and Saint Lilyxila is on the horizon! And while Illusia has been working hard leveling up and evolving, the saint has been busy as well - teaming up with Illusia’s father, the Dragon King Diabolos. But that’s not the only surprise in store for Illusia and his friends. When Aluanne, the saint’s sidekick and Devil of the Great Prison, comes to make playthings out of Illusia’s party, it’s Treant who steps up to save the day! Will the bumbling tree spirit finally become the hero it was always meant to be?
