Summary

 * One evening the Crimson Vow returned to the Daybreak Traveler from hunting when Faleel's father informed them that Faleel has failed to come home. A man named Dafrel then came in and informed that that Faleel has been kidnapped. Mile then snaps and asks Dafrel's daughter, Methelia, to lead her to where Faleel was last seen. Pauline then took Faleel's father to go and create an emergency request so that the Crimson Vow have the protection of the Hunters' Guild.
 * Once they arrive at where Faleel was last seen, Mile pulls out all the stops in order to search for Faleel. When Pauline returned, the Servants of the Goddess were in tow as they also accepted the request. Mile then led the group out of the city and into a nearby forest where they faced off against a group of 16 men in black cloaks. After defeating the men, the two hunter parties advanced further into the forest.
 * Mile then located Faleel, surrounded by 30 men in black cloaks. Mile then placed a protective barrier around Faleel before rushing in to take out the men. The hunters then learned that Faleel was kidnapped for a summoning spell and this information caused Mile to lose it. The two sides faced off with most of the men in black cloaks getting taken out easily. Reina then became overconfident until Telyusia had to take an attack to protect Reina. Pauline then rushed over to heal Telyusia's fatal wound.
 * Lacelina attempted to let off an attack, but the summoning ritual was so far along that the spell failed to reach the target as the summoning ritual was becoming too strong. Reina then let off an attack that did manage to piece the mage's barrier which allowed Mavis to pierce the barrier and Mile to drag a mage out of the barrier. Seeing this, the other enemy mages speed things up which causes the Nano-machines to ask for Mile's help in stopping them.
 * Mile then opens up a hole in the barrier and throws an Ultra Hot Grenade in and helps circulate the air, causing all the mages to get hit. Suddenly near Faleel, a fissure opens up, however whatever was on the other side of that fissure was hit by the Ultra Hot Grenade's effect and retreated. With this, the battle was over and Faleel was safe.
 * Then Mavis took off towards the Hunters' Guild for reinforcements while the other tied up all of the cultists. They learn that Faleel was kidnapped since she had beastpeople blood that the cultist's god demands as a sacrifice. Mavis then returned with reinforcements the next morning. The cultists were gathered onto carts and escorted back to Shaleiraz. Mile then learns from the Nano-machines that the cultists were attempting to open a portal to another world and actions such as this are reasons why the previous civilizations have collapsed.
