    After crossing Sionne off his revenge list and sealing the tremor-causing interdimensional portal for good, Light returns to the Abyss, where his debrief is interrupted by news from Mei. She tells Light they’ve found his younger sister, Yume, who went missing after someone—or something—destroyed their hometown. It turns out she is still in the Human Kingdom after being rescued by Princess Lilith, who kept her on as a maid. While Light makes plans to bring Yume to the Abyss, he reminisces about his life since they last saw each other. He recounts the days after he was betrayed, going from merely surviving the Abyss with Mei to pushing past his limits, summoning more overpowered allies, and eventually transforming the world’s more notorious dungeon into his very own hidden kingdom. When Light finally meets Princess Lilith himself, they find they share a passion for improving humanity’s lot—but a dark secret plagues her kingdom.

    If she is claimed she will be his. If she is not, she will return in shame and be shunned from her pack.

    The Masters hosted by the Dragonute Empire have grown increasingly concerned about their lack of knowledge surrounding the emergence of the Great Tower as well as the sudden disappearances of former members of the Concord of the Tribes, so they hatch a scheme to find out who exactly they are up against. Their plan is to get the Beastfolk Federation to declare war on the Great Tower while they watch on from afar to learn about their opponents without the need to reveal themselves. For their part, the beastfolk have their own reasons for going to war with the Great Tower. Light’s lieutenant, Ellie—aka the Wicked Witch of the Tower—has successfully conquered the elves and the dark elves, freeing the human slaves suffering under their heels in the process. Not wishing to share the same fate, the beastfolk are determined to destroy the Great Tower. But how can a relatively weak nation fight a sorceress who has her own personal army of dragons? By fighting dirty, that’s how.
