After an unexpectedly challenging journey, Ray and his party finally arrive at Gideon, The City of Duels.

Both were Masters wielding the powers of Superior Embryos, and both would give their all to fight, make merry and emerge victorious. But a malicious plan unfurls itself in the shadows, who is it that seeks to strike the Kingdom of Altar at its most vulnerable?
