Back in the mines of Britatona, Shokei's party is fighting against the Necromutant's spider queen. The party works together as they fought against Zhillor as much as they can. The spider feels weakened by Sadako's fire spell as it takes damage by the burning fmes. However, the spider queen is not going down as it becomes enraged. The party is taking progress as they fought against the monster.

  As the fight against Zhillor continues, Rei and her group are working together as they are fighting against Hazon. The Necromutant continues to defend the glowing sphere, in which the cursed sphere is causing the people of Britatona being stoned. Hazon is fighting the party with his bare hands. The strength of his bare hands appears to be strong as his fists are powerful with dexterity. The fight against the Necromutant is proven to be frustrating as Rei fails to attack the enemy with every arm and leg that she tries to swing towards him.

  "Dammit!! This beast is too strong!" Rei said angrily.

  "I can't get a clean hit on that sphere." Ferron said. "He's pretty good in guarding it."

  "We cannot give up while his defenses are still up." Mizuki said to the party. "We have to keep trying."

  While Rei and her group are trying to fight their way through to get to the sphere, Hazon used his wings while they are activated. He fought his opponents fiercely as he tries to prevent them from touching his sphere. This made matters more difficult as the Necromutant retains himself in pce to protect his cursed object.

  The rest of Shokei's party is taking care of Zhillor as they are continuing to beat the spider queen. The party managed to harm the monster's legs as the enemy is unable to move. Tamiko looks back to see that Rei and her group are fighting against the Necromutant. She sees that Hazon swoops down to attack the party with fierce strength. Rei keeps fighting back against the enemy as she counters back with her bare hands. Obsidian and Ferron were trying to target the sphere, but the Necromutant was quick enough to block them from striking the sphere. Tamiko looks back to see that her party is working effectively in trying to kill the spider queen as best as possible, thanks to Sadako. The spellcaster was able to fuse the party their weapons to add a fire boost in killing Zhillor. Tamiko looks back to see that Rei and her group are in a tight battle and she decides to take action by helping out. Keeping her distance, she aims her crossbow.

  "Give it up! There is no way I am letting you destroy this sphere!" Hazon tells them.

  Hazon keeps fighting back against his opponents as he shows no sign of stopping. Tamiko takes aim as she points her crossbow to where the Necromutant is flying around. Taking caution, Tamiko fires a shot of her crossbow. The fire bolt of the dart flies as it is being aimed directly at the sphere. With the enemy being distracted, the bolt arrow nails the glowing sphere as it makes a pierce crack shot.

  "Huh?!"

  Hazon got interrupted as he heard the sound of gss shattering. He turns to see that his dark sphere has been damaged. Then, the Necromutant turns to see Tamiko firing another shot with her crossbow. Hazon used his wings as a shield and her bolt arrow fizzled. The Necromutant got angry as he swoops down to go after Tamiko. With a distraction taking pce, Rei can see that an opportunity has been opened.

  "Now's our chance!!" Rei tells her party. "Just destroy this cursed sphere once for all!"

  "I'm on it!" Mizuki said. "That shot alone is not enough. Give me cover so that I can destroy this thing in one shot."

  "We'll be ready in case that bastard comes over here." Obsidian said.

  "Same." Ferron said, gripping his gss bde.

  "You got this, right?" Rei asked Mizuki.

  "Yes." Mizuki nodded. "Just cover me in case the enemy comes back here."

  Tamiko avoids the Necromutant that is coming after her. Hazon tries to physically attack her with his swift punches and kicks. Tamiko evades as much as she can to avoid getting hurt. She is unable to use her crossbow as fighting Hazon would be impossible. She could not do anything as the enemy is trying to be a nuisance towards her.

  "What the hell do you think you're doing, foul human?!" Hazon asked her angrily. "I'll destroy you with my own hands even if you try to get away from me!"

  "Ack! Nooooo!!" Tamiko cried out. "Ugh! Someone help me! I can't shake this guy off!"

  "I got you Tamiko!" Rei calls out to her.

  Rei runs up to where Hazon is and she directly jump kicks him on the side. She knocks the enemy with a hard kick that sent the Necromutant to a wall. Rei looks to see that then enemy has taken the hit and then she looks back at her ally.

  "Are you ok?" Rei asked.

  "I'm fine." Tamiko said. "Thanks for saving...hey, watch out!!"

  "Eh?!"

  Rei and Tamiko turn to see that Hazon is charging towards them, and he is about to strike both targets. Just then, he looks to see that Mizuki is about to destroy the sphere. Mizuki is using her geo spell as she is all set to make her move.

  "For the people of Britatona..." Mizuki said and then she casts out her magic. "Zephyr Lance!!"

  The geo spell takes its effect as the green aura swirls on the ground, right above the sphere. The ground emerged out a big nce and it charges its way up to the sphere. Hazon looks to see that his sphere has been destroyed completely. The glowing and its dark surroundings of the sphere is dissolving as the curse has been lifted.

  "No...NO!!" Hazon cried out, not looking pleased.

  The Necromutant sees that his cursed sphere has been destroyed. Then, he looks back to see that the spider queen, Zhillor, has already been taken care of. The monster's corpse lies on the ground and then it vanished into dust. The rest of Shokei's party now have their attention on their enemy. Hazon can see that he is outnumbered, but then he maintains his cool.

  "Hmmph! It seems that my pn has been foiled." Hazon tells the party. "Thanks to all of you, I will remember this..."

  The Necromutant vanishes as he leaves the scene. The fight against Hazon and his curse that pgued on the town of Britatona is over with. After the enemy has left the area, the party regroups once again.

  "I guess that takes care of everything." Ferron said, sheathed his sword away.

  "From destroying that sphere, let's hope that the people in Britatona is freed from that curse." Rei said.

  "We took care of that sphere all right...but how do we get out of here?" Marie asked.

  "I was just about to ask the same thing." Naoko said.

  "Hmm..." Sadako looks around and notices a pathway that leads further in the mines. "Hey, maybe that path would lead us in getting out of these mines."

  "Are you sure?" Rei asked. "I hope that path would lead us out of here."

  "Not to mention...it's really cold down here." Marie said, feeling the coldness in the mines.

  "Who knows? Besides, you'll never know what path might lead us into." Sadako said.

  "Mmm...I guess you're right." Rei said. "Whatever it is, we have to get out of here."

  "Right. We should keep going while we're at it." Mizuki said.

  The party heads for the pathway as they continue onward, hoping to leave the mines.

  Back at the "Woodnd of Dreams", Shokei and her party continues their way through the cave. Then, reaching out to an opening, the party exits the cave and finds themselves in an different area. Shokei looks to see that she is in an open garden field. The garden is full of roses and thorns as they are scattered around the walls.

  "Woah." Mariko said in amazement. "This looks...interesting."

  "Hmm..." Shokei can see a sign just ahead. "Stronghold Gardens of Azaria."

  "This is supposed to be a peaceful garden if I remember." Egoh said. "But for some reason, there is something not right with this picture."

  "These are some pointy-looking thorns here." Mariko said, looking carefully at the tip of the vines. "I have a feeling that this must be a creepy garden around here."

  "Let's...not think about that at the moment." Egoh assured.

  "I believe that another half of the Three Little Evils must be responsible for turning the gardens into a horrific territory." Young said. "We need to find the brute that is pguing this garden at once."

  "Right. Let's keep moving." Shokei said.

  Shokei and her party continues onward. What they fail to inspect was the sign as there was a message that has been inscribed in the back of the sign. Magic is forbidden! Do not attempt! was stated without knowledge.

  Walking further, the party looks ahead to see that there is a stronghold at the center of the gardens. Shokei sees the stronghold at a distance from a hill's view. The stronghold is surrounded by a maze as the flooring looks concrete to walk on.

  "Wow a maze garden." Mariko said. "I never seen one in my life."

  "Same." Shokei said. "But...the walls of the garden all have roses and thorns."

  "Maybe that cursed creep could be inside that stronghold." Young said. "We should head over there while we can."

  "Let's go then."

  The party heads down the hill. Then, the party makes their way to the entrance of the maze. Shokei looks to see that the entrance to the small castle is straight ahead. However, there was a gap that was in the way where she can see that there is a pit with spikes down below.

  "So, we can't go into the castle." Shokei said as she inspects the gap with spikes.

  "The castle is well guarded." Egoh said. "This used to be the home of the great Priestess Azaria. She was the ruler of this maze garden as she maintains the bushes of the garden in healthy standards. But all of that was a very long time ago and now her pce looks ancient."

  "But it's a mystery to why there are now thorns around the garden?" Young said. "Her garden was never like this at all."

  "I'm sure that one of those twisted evils are responsible for this." Shokei said and asked. "What should we do to get through this area?"

  "I know that the way to enter her castle is protected by levers that lead to the entrance." Egoh said. "There should be two levers around here and if we activate them, the gaps should be sealed that would bring us into the castle."

  "There are four of us..." Shokei said. "Then, we should split up if we're going to activate those levers."

  "Yes." Egoh said. "That, we should."

  "I'll go with you!" Mariko said.

  "Then...that means I'll be with you then human." Young said to Shokei.

  "Welp. It's settled." Shokei said. "Let's spilt and hope that we can meet back here."

  The party agrees as they went their separate ways. Shokei and Young head to the left side of the maze as Egoh and Mariko head to the right. The party are navigating their way into the maze.
