The chapter begins in Sistana, the current destination of Percy's group. We see a nobleman and his daughter meet with....
Ironside!!! Apparently, the holy knight is searching for a fragment of the
Coffin of Eternal Darkness, which, in case anyone forgot, was used to seal away the demon clan back in NNT....
Meanwhile, Percy attempts to train his magical golems while Donnie is fishing. As for Nasciens, he feeds one of the golems some poison and discovers it changes color, heh. Soon, Percy grabs a knife to slice apart the fish and, curiously enough, makes it grow in size by uttering the word
Ouroboros. After the meal, Sin asks him about that magical sword, but Percy keeps insisting that it's a kitchen knife given to him by his grandfather. This makes Nasciens question him about his helmet and cape, which are also magic items his grandpa left behind. Percy doesn't know where they came from, but it seems he intends to get answers from Ironside when they meet in Camelot. The talk about magical tools then reminds Donnie and Percy about the one Sin used to save them, but the fox replies that it was his last one. The mention of that magic orb reminds Nasciens of the stories he heard of similar items used by
Merlin of the Seven Deadly Sins! He knows about her because he's interested in checking out her ancient records regarding poison research....
Soon, Percy's group finally reach the town of Sistana! However, as soon as they arrive, the golems run off, having detected something. The mini-Percies lead the group to what appears to be a stone carving.... which to us readers is clearly the coffin shard Ironside alluded to earlier. Suddenly, the group are confronted by a girl with an umbrella, who's the nobleman's daughter from earlier! She threatens to kill them upon seeing them with the coffin shard.....!!!!
