No sooner than he's returned from Onigashima, Sora finds himself up against one new enigmatic foe after another! First he confronts Lich King Charramon, and then he's attacked by a group of dark elves led by Wisteria, the warrior beauty! He also makes the acquaintance of Pope Noa-the ruler of the Holy Monarchy of Caritas-who is being pursued by a shadowy organization called the Council of Night. What is this organization truly after? And more importantly, who is the Council of Night's leader and founder? Mysteries abound as new conflicts arise, and it's up to Sora to cut through them all!
