Because of a blunder during his first battle, Neeba is forced to fire Jil from the group. Though disheartened by the humiliating dismissal, his desire to conquer the evil deity does not wane. Jil wanders the city of Meskia, which is filled with anticipation for the third season of expedition to the tower. After causing a riot in the marketplace, he meets a mysterious girl named Kaaya, who heals his unnoticed injuries. A reserved young woman called Ahmey, who had helped carried Jil inside the room to get treated, joins the group for also having interest in climbing the tower. When Jil learns of the visit of the great hero Gilgamesh to the city, he takes his new friends to watch the procession. Nonetheless, he overhears that Neeba and his party plan to invade the state guesthouse through the sewers at night. After Kaaya and Ahmey take out an unknown group of assailants, Jil goes inside the state guesthouse, only to find Gilgamesh assassinated.
