Two years later, Manjusaka is still alone. He wants to get out of the valley. He tells us that he wants to use the lycoradiate as a weapon of battlefield maintenance. It's the first real weapon owned by the Empire, and it has a special ability: it can grow in the void of the river Styx whenever the world loses one life. It can light up the stars path to the Styx River. This is one of the most important skills in battlefield maintenance, he tells us. He asks if he can become a partner with him on the team. He says that he's interested in him, but that he doesn't have the same skills as him. He begs that he be allowed to be his partner if he wins.
