After a tense confrontation, a younger challenger is warned by a rival not to cross paths again in the trial space or face death. Dismissed as arrogant and powerless, the challenger is told to quit, deemed unworthy of the lord title. Suddenly, a Bone Dragon appears, attacking the challenger, but fierce protective magic reveals the opponent commands a powerful Tier 7 unit. The challenger is rewarded with a level-up to Level 5 and unlocks a new skill, 'Life Link,' which shares vitality among units, preventing fatal damage as long as at least one unit survives. The episode ends with the challenger stronger but still facing looming threats.
