THE DEEPEST SHADOWS CAN HIDE BEHIND THE BRIGHTEST LIGHTS. After a fierce battle, Nick and the others succeeded in crushing the demon-god worshipper White Mask. The guild is extremely happy with their performance, so the Survivors are entrusted with Nick’s dream job: guarding an idol concert! But when they discover counterfeit ticketsâ€and a connection to the demon god’s adherentsâ€they start to doubt that this is a normal escort mission. And that’s all before Sun Knight captain Alice shares her suspicions about Nick’s former party member Garos, shaking him to the core. Karan is there to lend her support, but her feelings for Nick seem to be changing...
Nick and his party have conquered the labyrinth and claimed the holy Sword of Bondsâ€just about the last thing you would expect of a group brought together by their pasts full of traumatic betrayals! But maybe, just maybe, the party can come to trust each other at least a little bit and to heal the scars of their histories together…That is, if a chance encounter with Claudine, the wicked woman who duped Nick, doesn’t reopen old wounds first!
