Sunny confronts the Transcendent-level nightmare creature near the Tomb of Ariel. Nephis's flame intensifies as her memories begin fragmenting further — a consequence of the Moonless Seal breaking. Effie achieves a critical breakthrough in her Hunt Aspect, pushing her to early Master rank. The shadow army expands, and a mysterious new Sovereign is hinted at the end of chapter 1248...
