Book 16: Chapter 1 (1)
Shin was in Lanapacea, an elven village and Tiera’s hometown.
The World Tree located in the village, a pillar maintaining the world’s balance, was weakened and in danger.
Shin and his comrades attempted to heal the tree, but eventually discovered that its corruption was planned by Crissot, Tiera’s deceased father, who had fallen under the demons’ control. Furthermore, the Divine Beast Reforgerer, a being that could cause the world’s destruction, appeared too.
After a fierce battle, Shin managed to defeat Reforgerer.
Crissot was freed from the demons’ control and his soul, after saying his farewell to Tiera, rose into the skies—.
