The "God of Undeath" Stagnate's sudden appearance catches the three undead off-guard. Although his attempt to abduct Blood and Mary is interrupted by Gus, the black mist bursting from his chest leaves them no time to feel relieved. Will is unable to do anything as Stagnate says to him with a fearless smile, "It's all thanks to you."

On the verge of death, Will swears an oath to Gracefeel and rises to challenge Stagnate again. However, Stagnate tricks Will into fighting his shadow while he goes off to attack Blood and Mary. When he realizes what's going on, Will rushes back to the Temple and arrives just as Stagnate comes within reach of the two wounded undead.

Under the guidance of Menell, Will goes to a village that has been attacked by monsters. As he subdues the remnants of the demons, the tragedy of the village gradually becomes apparent. A house burned down by piled up corpses. And it was a boy who was burned by flames and turned into an undead (undead) who called out to Menel with a thin voice.
