After unwittingly opening the borders of the Shadow Realm for Fabris, Astral descends into the underground in the company of the Light swordswoman Rita. The two become separated, and Astral encounters Sharon in battle, while Rita ends up in the Words Worth chamber and is claimed by Wortoshika, who wishes to sire a child who unites the blood of Light and Shadow and would be the only one who can decipher the tablet. Tessio and Menza make their move and assault Wortoshika and Rita to prevent this from happening.
