Synopsis

The chapter focuses on a fight where low-rank magic is demonstrated to be surprisingly powerful due to talismans and strategic use, culminating in a soul-targeting attack called "Banishing Talons." The villain then declares they do not need to acquire a special stone, as the entity tied to it is naturally replaced, highlighting the difference between cyclical nature and finite lives. The chapter ends with a challenge, suggesting a battle of wills to see who will break first, the villain or the hero.
