The party locates the King of Souls, a skeleton possessing intelligence. Relying on her strength, Lammis avoids his spells before using Boxxo to crush the King. The King is revealed to only have been a fragment of an even more powerful undead, the Netherlord. Hulemy and Shui are mortally wounded protecting Lammis, which sends her into a rage until Boxxo calms her. Deciding to trust herself, Lammis puts Boxxo down to use all her strength and destroys Netherlord’s staff. An impressed Netherlord retreats. Boxxo becomes an emergency defibrillator and spends all his available points acquiring the telekinesis skill to operate it himself, reviving Hulemy and Shui. They return home to inform Director Bear of the Netherlord, revealed as one of the Demon Lord’s generals. He contacts the directors of each stratum to begin assembling an army of the most skilled adventurers to combat this powerful foe. Kerioyl considers abandoning his goal to ensure the party's safety, but they convince him to keep going. Lammis takes Boxxo to the spot where she first found him and thanks him for everything. Hulemy and Shui secretly follow and thank Boxxo for saving their lives by kissing his screen. They make a jealous Lammis kiss him too, to her embarrassment. Boxxo decides life as a vending machine is not so bad.
