Shu and the others manage to protect the village from the enemy. The ‘Knight Master’ (Zola) convinces Shu to come along on their journey.

Shu and his comrades wander into a town that has been decimated. A pint-sized Shadow wielder named Marumaro attacks them, convinced that they are enemies. Will Marumaro be convinced of Shu's innocence in time to save the villagers from the real invading army, and taken on a pair of Shadow-wielding brothers at the same time?

During the battle with the Grankingdom, seven pages from the "Book of the Beginning" were stolen--pages with key information about Shadow powers. Zola's group decides to make for the Grankingdom, and head out to sea--with Bouquet on board as an unexpected stowaway. When a suspicious fog rolls in, and Shu and his friends are overcome with mysterious symptoms, it's up to Bouquet to save the day...

Shu and Co. encounter Homeron again. He reveals that the information of the Extra 7 is somewhere in Gran Kingdom's Castle Des La Teste and they will have to infiltrate it to get to its master computer. Conrad L. Lawrence is shown to be imprisoned in a local prison run by Cynthia which Homeron also tells Shu. Zola comes up with a plan to lure the guards from Castle Des La Teste in order to rescue Conrad and get the information. As the others attack the prison, Homeron, Kluke, and Bouquet infiltrate the castle. Upon rescuing the captive soldiers, Shu and Jiro free Conrad and run into Cynthia. Lemaire also arrives to help Cynthia and both of them begin to overwhelm Shu and Jiro until a successful attack from Blue Dragon and Minotaur weakens them down. Zola catches up after destroying the robots that came with Lemaire. With the reinforcements from Castle Des La Teste approaching, Zola issues a retreat as Homeron begins his infiltration.

Conrad and a Knight Master named Griz join up with resistance headed up by Legolas and Daner in a nearby city and joins him in exploring the ruins of the Investiture Beings there. Shu, Bouquet, Marumaro, and Noi arrive at the city as Lotarus is encountered by Delphinium and Deathroy. Deathroy unleashes Chimera as White Brigade's weapons fire at Lotarus. She manages to evade the weapons and Delphinium's shadow before turning into her dragon form. While Lota deals with Delphinium and Deathroy, she also unleashes winged creatures that attacks the White Guardians. Lota takes the opportunity to escape while Delphinium and the White Guardians are occupied. Shu meets up with Legolas and Conrad and they descend into the underground caverns that are underneath the city. Noi then reads the messages found on the floors of the cavern. When Shu has Blue Dragon punch the artifact on the wall, he is sucked in.
