Lisa told Schaal that although the Incarnates were once the ones that ended the war, now they have turned into beasts and caused problems that need to be dealt with urgently. Since there is currently no plan or antidote to turn the Incarnates back into humans, they can only be hit with weapons.

When Schaal followed Hank, he was surprised when he saw that many people who broke into the fortress were killed in traps, and once touched the mechanism, so Hank had to help her escape from the mechanism. Schaal asked Hank what kind of people the Minotaur was. At that time, Hank knew how the incarnation of the Minotaur Theo was afraid of everything, including the fear of death.

As Hank walks through the passage, the portcullis falls between them, Hank tells Schaal that she must find a mechanism to open the portcullis if she is to continue forward. Lisa, who was following closely behind, appeared at this time. Lisa knew that Hank asked her to take Schaal away because Schaal would be in danger if she continued to follow Hank. However, Schaal did not agree because she had to know Hank's reason to killing her father. Later, Lisa helped Schaal find the mechanism of the portcullis and open it.

He asked Hank whether he had to be more prepared to end his fear. Hank tells Theo that he will help him end it, so Hank knocks Theo to the ground with his claws. Afterwards, Theo, who fell to the ground, felt a little relieved that Hank had helped him gain relief and redemption.

They approached a huge iron bridge connecting the north and the south. The driver told Schaal that the huge iron bridge was a symbol of peace at the end of the war. At this time, Lisa and the military ordered the conductor to stop the train. She told Hank that the military had received the incarnation of the Incarnate of Behemoth nearby and was heading east to the iron bridge. If the Behemoth reaches the iron bridge, it may destroy it. Hank told the military many of Behemoth's abilities. He told the military how to temporarily subdue Behemoth. The military formulated Hank's plan to stop Behemoth. They initially used cannons to attack Behemoth. Moss attacks to no avail, but Hank manages to subdue Behemoth by stabbing him in the leg joint with his weapon. Lisa tells Schaal that she has received a recent report from the military stating that Behemoth was unharmed. The behavior of any human being, as he has been avoiding densely populated areas, it is possible that Behemoth has retained his humanity. The next day, Schaal visited Behemoth and asked why it continued to move forward without turning back but received no answer. At this time, Lisa and Hank negotiated with the president of the railroad. At first, the president's request to kill Behemoth was rejected, Lisa explains their plan to fill the valley in front of the beast with explosives to protect the Iron Bridge so they can deal with Behemoth's problem, but the railroad president is dissatisfied and angrily leaves. After Hank ordered the military to set up explosives next to the valley, Schaal asked Hank about the past of Behemoth. Hank explained that Behemoth was a man named Artie who was good at drawing. A taciturn young man, Schaal told Hank that she discovered that the reason why Behemoth headed towards the iron bridge was because there was something it wanted to see, but Hank said that he could not save Behemoth. After all, they just to kill Behemoth came to protect everyone's safety, and as Incarnates they cannot destroy the current peace, but Schaal disagreed with Hank's statement because she found that Behemoth tried to live peacefully in this era and also maintained human nature. In the afternoon, after Lisa confirmed the explosives brought by the army, she found that Schaal was worried about Behemoth. Lisa told Schaal that even if she tried to save Behemoth, it would be in vain, because even if Behemoth did not attack the iron the danger brought by the bridge will have to be punished sooner or later, and they cannot ignore the danger of Behemoth, they can only choose the path that brings a painless end to Behemoth. That night, the men sent by the president of the railway knocked out the military guards and tried to blow up Behemoth. Who knew that Behemoth was so angry that he trampled them and approached the bridge. Hank ordered the army to kill Behemoth, When he after confirming the placement of the explosives and the location of the remaining explosives, he immediately transformed into a werewolf to block Behemoth and pushed it down to a part of the cliff full of explosives. The military tried to use the explosives to detonate the explosives in the debris. Bury the beast,the force of the explosion had no way to retreat and became even more powerful, tearing open the chest of Behemoth. Behemoth continued to move forward even though his internal organs were about to fall out. Schaal stood on the bridge and begged Behemoth not to hurt others if he still had humanity left. Hank on the ground begged Artie not to destroy the future they had created. At this time, the explosion near the bridge blew up the canyon wall, and the giant beast saw what it wanted to see - the seaside opposite and an endless sea. Behemoth collapsed with tears streaming from his eyes. Only then did Hank understand Behemoth's intention and showed sad eyes. After the incident, Hank told Schaal that he remembered Artie once telling him about his wish to see the sea. At that time, Hank told Artie that he could go see the sea after the war. Schaal then understood that the reason why Hank asked the military to set up explosives next to the valley was to prevent Behemoth from having to walk across the iron bridge to view the sea. Hank said that even so, it still could not change the fact that he killed Artie, but Schaal told Hank that thanks to his help, Artie could realize his wish in the end. Hank felt a little comfort when he heard Schaal's statement, and they decided not to let down Artie's wish and the peace they had fought for in the past. When Hank and Schaal return to camp, Lisa tells Hank that she received a report from the military that Kane is in a city called Whitechurch, which made Hank very sensitive. Because Cain is not only Hank's enemy and the deputy leader of the original Incarnate force, but more importantly, he is the one who released all the Incarnates who turned into beasts into the world.

Cain knew Topher's personality, so he gave Topher a Godkiller bullet. Before he left, Cain told Topher that they would meet again when he could complete justice. While Hank was dealing with his injuries and soon decided to go find Topher, he asked Schaal that it would be safer to stay in the hotel. Before he left, he asked Schaal that she had better leave the White Church immediately tomorrow morning if he did not come back. Hank left the hotel and came to the church.

That night, Hank entered the manor and found a large number of well-dressed nobles invited by Cain, from the Confederacy, and whose wealth had been taken away by the war. At this time, Cain appeared from a high place and addressed everyone. He said that Incarnate was also an existence created by the northerners who longed for victory but was abandoned and ordered to be destroyed. Cain gathered a large group of Incarnates and declared that they should continue the unfinished war to get back everything they deserved, but he claimed that they no longer needed to be useful to humans. All the Incarnates slaughtering the guests are stopped when Hank attacks them. Cain explains to Hank that the reason why Incarnate loses their humanity is caused by human beings' distorted ideas and negative perceptions, so they will "live as they please" to eliminate the "obstacles" that block them.

Hank went berserk when he saw Schaal fall down like Elaine, and Cain "guided" Hank to release his "nature" while tearing off the "Chains of Gleipnir" that "bond" him. Hank's werewolf form grew and transformed into a giant, glowing wolf that could not be contained in the manor and destroyed an entire roof enough to crush an avatar beneath its feet. He jumped to the town of Whitechurch and landed between the buildings.

Hank tells Garmr that he doesn't actually want to fight him if he was going to change their oath. Although Garmr warned Hank not to make comical threats to him, Hank said he felt ironic Garmr's tone sarcastic and took up his weapon again to fight, but he knew he was at a disadvantage in a fight with Garmr in his situation, so he used a grenade to cause an explosion to take cover and quickly fled into the woods. At the same time, Coup de Grace was also looking for Hank's whereabouts in the snowy mountains. Schaal knew that Claude would catch Hank. She had to find Hank and tell Claude what she wanted to say to Hank.

Unexpectedly, Garmr blocked the bullet with his hand and knocked Hank to the ground. Hank was attacked from the front and fell unconscious. The sun rises, and since Hank can only use his Incarnate powers at night, Garmr decides to leave the woods and tells Hank that it's best to remember his true identity, as he won't let their duel end there. On the same day, when Coup de Grace was also searching in the snowy mountains, Claude was injured and passed out with fever due to being pushed too far. The team stopped in front of an abandoned fortress, Muzzle Peak Lookout to treat him.When Claude awakens later in the afternoon, he asks Schaal about her choice to protect all the Incarnates even though she knew they were dangerous. She states they didn't ask for what happened to them and would have been better if they had humans to support them – like Trice did. Schaal explain to Claude about she wanted to find a answer for the Incarnates and humans to live in peace, and to find a way to return the Incarnates to humanity. At this time, Gerald reported to Claude and Schaal that he had sent a reconnaissance team. He told Claude that they had discovered the whereabouts of Hank and an unknown Incarnate. Claude convened the troops to hold a combat meeting to bring back Hank and defeat another unidentified incarnate. Just as Claude was about to set off with his exhausted body, Lisa said that he needed to rest first, so he had to order Gerald took command of the troops on his behalf.

Garmr grabbed Hank's left foot, he threw him to the ground and put him at a disadvantage with the soles of his own feet. Garmr grabs Hank by the throat and asks him why he's acting so differently than before. Since they are incarnations rather than beasts, they should regain their will and glory in their era, instead of Obsessed with human identity, but Hank refuted Garmr's statement. In his eyes, Garmr was just a hound that had lost its will and dignity after being played and tamed by Cain. Garmr was angered at this that he pierced Hank's chest with his claws. Hank painfully turned into a werewolf form and suppressed and severely injured Garmr in his berserkly and driven mad . However, when Hank's left eye was soaked in blood, he recalled the situation when he transformed into the king of the beasts form in his dream and returned to reason, but he screamed out of fear and attracted the attention the Schaal and Coup de Grace troops.

10 | "Two Oaths" Transliteration: "Futatsu no Chikai" (Japanese: ニつの誓い) | 2 September 2019 | |
Incarnate Garmr remembers being a human youth named Roy. At the time, he was an infantryman attached to Infantry Combat who rushed towards the enemy camp but was seriously injured and fell to the ground during the gun battle. He was sent to an unknown "medical facility" and Becoming an Incarnate under "treatment" under Elaine's supervision. He fights alongside Hank against the Confederates, when Garmr is proud to remember the trust he placed in Hank and fight alongside him. Back in the present day, Garm fled from the cliff into the woods and was continuously shot by Coup de Grace, because Coup de Grace's soldiers relied on night vision goggles to find out where Garmr was hiding. However, Garmr still launched a counterattack, killing half of the team members, and then reinforcements from the Muzzle Peak Lookout (including Lisa and Claude) also set out to support the surviving team. Hank, who has fall over the edge of the cliff and saw Elaine when he was unconscious in his illusion . When he woke up, he found Schaal beside him. Hank was surprised by Schaal's appearance, but he felt relieved after he knew the details of the reason. Schaal tells Hank that her father was suddenly resurrected and transformed into a beast shortly after the Whitechurch incident. No one knew the reason at the time, but she shot her father with a shotgun as an extradition to him and told how her father regained consciousness at the last moment and said goodbye to her. Schaal fully understands how Hank felt when he killed her father and understands that he did so to prevent her father from turning into a beast and causing destruction. Schaal believes that before her father died, he wanted to say thank for Hank to save him before he was terrified of turning into a beast. Hank is surprised and confused that Schaal would understand and forgive him. He doesn't understand what he is doing or the reason for his oath. Hank told Schaal that he wanted to know if he had actually saved many of his comrades. He also wants to know whether the comrades he killed sincerely forgive his actions and receive true redemption. Hank told Schaal that Elaine had not found an antidote or method to turn all Incarnates back into humans at the time. Hank discovered that in the incarnate army, whether it was Schaal's father or others or the comrades who stood with him, they were undoubtedly human beings. It was precisely because of this idea that he was able to regard many Incarnates as Humanity comes to bury. At that time, he only remembered that they had to make an oath to keep the heart of humanity. He knew that in order to fulfill this oath, he killed many of the friends who wanted to live. Hank knew that the more he used the power of his Incarnate power, sooner or later he would face the cruel fate of turning into a beast like his friends. He could not imagine the destruction he would do by becoming the King of Beasts. Looking desperate, Hank asked Schaal if she could kill him before it was too late if he suddenly turned into a beast that couldn't control himself and couldn't turn back into a human again. More importantly, he wished to die now while he still had sense and remembered his friends. But Schaal was overwhelmed and regretfully rejected his request. Hank apologizes to Schaal for deciding to fight Garmr again and asking Schaal to remember them when it's all over. When dealing with Coup de Grace, Garmr believed that as long as he killed the leader of the team, he could destroy the army. However, Gerald already knew Garmr's purpose and used him as a bait and set up traps to counterattack. Soon after Garmr captured Gerald, he found that he was surrounded by Coup de Grace with wires. Garmr warned Gerald that he would be implicated if he allowed the Coup de Grace team to shoot directly. But Gerald said that even if their human army would face the risk of losing their commander, they must kill all the Incarnates who turned into a beast. Although the Coup de Grace team fired multiple shots at Garmr, they were unable to give him a fatal blow. Fortunately, Claude appears and hits Garmr with a grenade launcher, forcing him to escape and save Gerald. While he was still recovering, Claude managed to hold himself together with Lisa's help and scolded Gerald for his dangerous plan. Schaal understood that even though she was in despair about Hank asking her to kill him, she still held on to the hope and idea that Hank could survive as a human being. Schaal thought about what she was going to say to Hank and walked out the cave. Meanwhile, Garmr is standing limping by the river due to blood loss as Hank approaches from the other side of the river. Hank deliberately held the grenade to keep Garmr close to him. Just as he was about to let himself and Garmr die together, Schaal suddenly rushed out and shot Garmr in the knee with a shotgun. Schaal told Hank that he was human in her eyes, and she promised to kill him if he suddenly transformed into a beast that couldn't control himself and couldn't turn back into a human again. Schaal asked Hank to continue his mission to kill the many dehumanized Incarnate comrades and save their human souls. She also asked Hank to fulfill his oath and fight to the last moment. Schaal's words gave Hank a glimmer of hope and cheered him up again. Hank understood that perhaps what his heart really wanted to hear was someone's condolences, words of hope that he could survive as a human being, and companions who would be willing to work with him to alleviate his sins. Hank immediately dropped the grenade, Garmr dodged Schaal's shot and rushed towards her, Hank transformed into a werewolf again and fought Garmr under Schaal's watchful eyes. The coup de grace approaches, but Cloud tells his team to wait. Hank delivers the fatal blow to Garmr. Garmr praises Hank's performance and briefly restores Roy to his human form, and the two briefly reminisce about their time on the battlefield. Hank shoots Roy shortly after his death, and Schaal asks Hank about Roy's past because she wants to remember what kind of person he was. Hank describes Roy to Schaal and says that if they could go back in time, they might be friends. Soon after, Fatal Shot aims his gun at Hank and Schaal, and Cloud tells Hank that they can finally talk. | |||

Cain revealed to Hank, Schaal and Claude that this fortress was a decoy when he took control of the South Capital, so that other Incarnates could kill the South's leader who was about to sign an agreement with the North to fight against New Patria. Cain feels ironic that Hank still stops him. Cain think that humans just treat Incarnates as props, using and discarding them at will, otherwise there would be no Incarnates. When Cain asks Hank if he thanks him for shooting Elaine who couldn't handle them properly, Hank denies Cain's statement. Hank knew Elaine had to make up for her mistakes by creating the Incarnates and prepare to be hated by everyone. Hank explains that both humans and Incarnates are bound to make mistakes, and as long as they can correct their mistakes and save everything, they can gain true salvation.

He said that since they were Incarnates, they should disappear with the war and try to find a way to save their Incarnate lives and coexist with humans and fulfill Elaine's died wishes and what she could not do during her lifetime.

Hank and Cain begin to fight, with Cain's new abilities putting Hank at a disadvantage. When the sun rises, Hank can no longer maintain his werewolf form. Cain wounded Hank and expressed his hope that Hank could survive and become his comrade as the king of beasts, and witness the era they created like a god. Hank stood up with Schaal's help. Cain remembered that he was dissatisfied with Elaine's dependence on Hank. When Cain were attack Schaal and told her not to interfere and control their world like the real gods, but Hank stopped Cain and told him that a only belongs to their "world" doesn't exist at all. Hank unleashes his unknown awakened power and knocks Cain to the ground. When Cain discovered that the north army had captured the fortress with the assistance of Coup de Grace led by Gerald, he told Hank and Schaal that things would not end soon, and said that they would met and fight again on a new battlefield before disappearing. With Cain taking control of the western and southern parts of New Patria. The president called on troops to withdraw to the capital to prepare for final defense and counterattack. As Hank and Schaal were about to leave the fortress, Lisa promised Schaal that they would continue to help her and Hank once she and the army dealt with the aftermath. When Lisa and the soldiers of the Fatal Strike Force saw off Hank and Schaal who were about to embark on their journey, Claude and Gerald decided that they needed Hank and Schaal's help to defeat all the Incarnates who had lost their humanity. They'll also take many contingency measures while Hank still has his humanity. Hank is reminded of how much Schaal has changed since they first met, and Schaal says that as she's been through a lot, she's starting to change her perspective on all Incarnates. Hank asked Schaal if he was ready for a long battle. Schaal explains to Hank that she has found her purpose and is mentally prepared for Hank to successfully fulfill the vows they made to each other. In the middle of nowhere in New Patria, Cain looks at Elaine's naked corpse, locked in a glass container, still with a large gunshot wound to her right chest. Although Elaine is dead, the liquid in the container indicates that she is still alive and in a state of coma. Cain held a mysterious crystal (suspected to be Somnium) and told Elaine that she wants to try to stop the resurrection and a new world will awaken. Cain's words mean that the reason why Elaine created the Incarnates during her lifetime will soon be revealed. She gradually brought about the darkness that destroyed the entire Patria because of a certain "wish" she wanted to realize, and will swallow the entire Patria and also indicated that Cain maybe would soon resurrect Elaine or use her to deal with Hank and Schaal. |
