Pellegarde uses his fire magic against Percival's newly awakened power, which Pellegarde identifies as a form of rare Hero-type magic. Although Percival is outmatched, his magic creates a swarm of miniature copies of himself that protect him and heal his injuries. Percival and troupe member Donny are rescued by the red fox, who safely teleports them several miles away from Pellegarde. The fox, Sin, explains he is tasked with escorting Percival to the kingdom of Liones, revealing that Percival is destined to become one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse and destroy the world, and that the Holy Knights pursuing them are from Camelot, a kingdom within a realm of chaos ruled by King Arthur. While hunting for food at Echo Gorge, Percival saves a fairy-like creature from a sinister young herbalist named Nasiens, who drugs Percival to use as a test subject. The local fairies warn Donny and Sin about Nasiens, whom they blame for turning the gorge's plants and wildlife into monsters.
