Chapter 5:
- While in battle, his contractor Amasaki Miō was mortally wounded while protecting Hayashizaki Kazuki. Kazuki decided to risk everything and kissed her in order to perform a Complete Summoning of Phenex to revive her. Phenex told him it was extremely hazardous to attempt this in his exhausted state. Kazuki didn’t hesitate, earning him great respect, and Miō was saved.
Epilogue:
- Kazuki was drifting through the Astrum under a state of Magic Intoxication. Phenex spoke to him about the reasons he was selected as their King.
