Fushi, having spent several decades alone on an island, learns that a village was attacked by the Nokkers.

Kahaku, the sixth of Hayase's descendants, introduces himself to Fushi. Much time has passed, and the Guardians have expanded their influence.

Fushi, along with Kahaku, Bon and Bon's army, travel through several towns, spreading word of the Nokkers along the way.

Fushi attempts to escape from his iron cell, while Bon and Todo await their trial in their own cells.

Having finished training on the derelict ship, Fushi travels to Renril, where the Nokkers are threatening to attack.

The death of his three friends turns Fushi mad, and he begins defeating the Nokkers at a furious pace. But as it turns out, he may not be the only immortal.

March begins her desperate search for Fushi, whose absence has led to the city being overrun by the Nokkers.

With the Nokkers defeated, the people of Renril rejoice, and Fushi and his friends discuss their hopes for the future.
