History NightmareFuel / LordMarksmanAndVanadis

** The manga takes [[UptoEleven even more scarier approach]] where the motivation of Tigre's blood-lust are caused by numerous flashback images of some characters from previous chapters that appears in Tigre's memories, usually sorrow and anger: Titta's near rape experience from Zion? Greast? Roland? Unnamed Agnes little girl he saved? Kureys? Steid? even a dying Bertrand? As well as Tir Na Fal's temptation in offering him the Black Bow's true power? All of these enough to tick Tigre off and raise his blood-lust.

* Asvarre Civil War. Big time. Not long after Brune's restoration from its civil war after Ganelon's escape and Thenardier's demise, Asvarre is next to suffer its civil discord when Prince Germaine condemned his siblings for "betraying" the kingdom and have all of them executed. Of all the siblings of Asvarre Nobility that has been perished, only Eliot and Guinevere have escaped from the massacre. As retaliation, Eliot forming his Pirate Army and drove Germaine out from Colchester which opting the later fortified his remaining forces at Valverde; Guinevere meanwhile declared neutrality and refused to aid any one of her siblings. Talk about taking sibling rivalry to the [[UpToEleven extreme]].

* The bitter reunion between Elen and Fine in general. It begins with Elen calls Fine out in an angrier tone we never seen before since her incident with Greast. In fact, she is so angry that any mention about Vissarion from Fine's words ticks her off, and it takes Lim, Sofy, Mila and Tigre to calm Elen down and drag her out from the office. Considering what we learned from Fine's and Elen's past relationship prior to Vissarion's death and the disbandment of Silver Gale Mercenaries, the latter's rage against the former is somewhat understandable.
** The kicker is that Fine ''knows'' both Elen and Lim will never forgive her for killing Vissarion and yet she pushes [[BerserkButton her former friend's buttons]] for mentioning him and his dreams anyways simply because her impulse has gotten the best of her. One would've wonder if her earlier provocation is either intentional or by accident.
* The passing of King Viktor and Ilda's questionable death marks Zhcted's darkest days in the kingdom's history, which is also Tina's golden opportunity in manipulating the events into her favor for the throne, including tricking Ruslan along the way. Unless the heroes are going to do something about it, her ambition cannot be stopped...

* The showdown against Ganelon itself. While there are some awesome moments, it is still a chilling moments given how powerful Ganelon actually is.
* At the end of Volume 17, Sofy was so close to dying after Tina wounded her because of .

* The moment Tigre is falsely accused as a "traitor" to his own kingdom under Prime Minister Pierre Badouin's declaration is the darkest day in his life. Consequently,not only his title will be revoked Alsace will be govern by one of Nice's ministers once the civil war is subsided. This means Tigre cannot go back to Alsace and his people anymore, and the worst part is ''he'' becoming a marked man by almost everybody in Brune! Sure, this is coming from Sofy's message, but Tigre is the one who ends up receiving this shocking message since he is now portrayed as ''villain'' just to enlisting an "enemy" from Zhcted and defended his own territory from his fellow Brunish soldier, who happened to be a son to one of the most oppressive Duke! It is made painfully clear that injustice within Brune worsen as the civil war still ongoing...

** What could be worse is when Mashas is surrounded by the assassins inside the palace! Either Thenarider or Ganelon, whoever sent these assassins surely wants Mashas dead, which also means leaving Tigre without his reliable mentor and ally. Thankfully, Sofy--who just happened to be pssing by--rescued Mashas from what could've been his demise.

** Even before his death, Roland's decision in returning to Nice itself is shocking. In spite Tigre's and Mashas's warning that returning to the capital may not be a good idea now, considering the latter had experienced ''near assassination'', Roland insists on returning to Nice as his rectification for Brune's injustice. Sure its an honorable thing to do, but in this chaotic times not everyone in Brune has as much honor and justice as Roland did, so returning Nice is basically a suicide! Ironically enough, its that same attributes

*** The bigger shocker is that Ruslan of all people is acting suspiciously "nicer" for Tina and Fine, making him as literary a PuppetKing of Zhcted. Sure, it is courtesy to Tina that Ruslan returned to his "normal health" and becoming king, but he hasn't even realize that behind her "kindness" hid a dark side.

* At the end of Volume 17, Sofy was so close to dying after Tina wounded her.

! This page contains unmarked spoilers for the first two sagas. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned!

** The first battle is like a slaughter fest when Silver Meteor Army is ill-prepared for the brutality from Roland and his brigade gave them, including their two commanders: Elen is struggling against the Black Knight because her Arifar's wind barely even scratches him, Tigre meanwhile is severely injured from the Durandal's slash despite successfully rescues Elen, temporarily immobilizes Roland by [[spoiler: killing his horse with a '''creative way''']]. Even both Elen's and Tigre's escape have becoming a problem as the Navarre Knights literary ''throwing a rain of Javelins'' at them just to prevent their escape! Hadn't for Sofy's rescue and the arrival of Mashas and his men, the Silver Meteor Army would be done for.

* While Tigre and co. are celebrating their victory after Brune's civil war is over, Ganelon and Greast are already heading towards Brune's northern port and seek refuge in Zhcted. [[spoiler: What's more, Tina of all people escorts them to Osterode as their asylum. Yes, you read it right, one of the war maidens from Zhcted is actually helping a villain in hiding at her own turf. Makes you begin to wonder how'd they even becoming friends]].
** The manga adaptation have Greast replaced with [[spoiler: Drekavac]] and [[spoiler: Vodyanoy]] [[spoiler:who talking with Ganelon about their twisted goals in bringing chaos into the human realm. ]]

* The sudden disappearance of Durandal via thievery is this. Durandal, Brune's iconic weapon of power that once held by the former Brunish Kings (Faron included) and Roland, which is also now at the hands of Regin as a representation of her political power, is ended up stolen by unknown thieves who were hired by [[spoiler:the returning Greast]]. That aside, the disappearance of Durandal also puts Regin's reign in danger when nearly some Brune's ministers, specifically Melisande's supporters, are doubting her rule and trying to topple her down by all means necessary. Hard to believe to see Brune's peace shatters instantly over one missing sword...
* One the other side, Sachstein resumes its invasion towards Brune after the deaths of Roland, Thenardier and Faron. What's worse is the invasion itself is personally invited by [[spoiler:Melisande who plans to topple her own cousin for the crown]]. Sachstein has been trying to invade Brune but ultimately failed so many times in the past, and Brune's latest chaos just give them a cause to invade their neighboring kingdom at last! Talk about taking the enemies' vulnerability to their advantage.

** She vile suggestion surfaces again in one meeting before battling against the remaining Sachstein army at Prowirl Plains. In order to truly defeat the invaders, Tina suggests to [[spoiler: '''poisoning the nearby river''' just to cripple the enemy supplies, which unfortunately also affecting the villagers who depend these waters too]]. Needless to say, considering what happened during Melisande's revolt, everyone is so mortified to hear this plan to the point even Mashas questioning her agenda towards Brune. Tina's response? ''She doesn't even care''! Thankfully, this plot is quickly scrapped and replaced with Tigre's fire plot that is work on [[spoiler: Hans's army]] instead.
* [[spoiler: Elen's imprisonment by Greast. Its a horrendous experience. The chain that lock her up isn't just an ordinary chain you see, its a magical chain it that ''prevents'' her from summoning Arifar. That's right, folks. That's the same chain that gave both Elen and Mila some trouble for having their Dragon Tool's powers nullified during their battle against Thenardier's dragons! What come next is a twisted greeting from Greast himself who is touching Elen's body against her will, except the kissing and... taking her virginity part, initially. Instead, he will try to invoke an AttemptedRape on her so he can [[BreakTheBadass break Elen]] ''[[BreakTheBadass and]]'' [[BreakTheBadass Tigre]] at once at Vernon Mansion with absolutely ''no'' hesitation. In short, ''Greast will make Elen her woman no matter what.'']]
** [[spoiler: If you think that rouge Marquis is bad enough, how about his men who wish to get their hands on her for killing their comrades? Why are they refrained to do such a thing? Well it turns out that Greast warned them that he will execute ''anyone'' besides him and the little girl who get even close to Elen's barrack! And she had to endure her nightmarish 10 days of torture until [[BigDamnHeroes Tigre and Mila arrive to the scene]]! Hadn't Tigre and Mila arrive just in time to free her, Elen's [[FateWorseThanDeath fate could much]], ''[[FateWorseThanDeath much]]'' [[FateWorseThanDeath worse than death]].]]
** [[spoiler: Even more uncomfortable part is the fact that how many women fell victim to the hand of this [[{{Jerkass}} jerk]]. According to Greast, many women he raped end up submitting to him without fighting back. For Elen's case however, he find her "special" for not only because of her position as one of seven Zhcted's renowned female warrior, but also her resistant against him even in her troubled position. You'd ought to wonder if Elen will able to get through her humiliation and trauma for a long time if, again, [[BigDamnHeroes Tigre and Mila did not arrive just in time to save her from Greast and his soldiers]].]]
* [[spoiler: The unholy alliance between Ganelon and the demons itself is this.. In spite his beef with the Demons, the only reason why ]]
* [[spoiler:We get to see a revelation behind the VillainousFriendship between Tina and Ganelon from the former's perspective. According to her backstory, in order to improve Osterode's prosperity, Tina had to travel all the way to Lutetia and sought Ganelon as her trade partner, despite the fact that Ezendeis (Tina's Dragon Tool) sensed something ominous within that said "trade partner". Probably got you even wondering that Tina's reason in aiding Ganelon's escape from Brune was to repay his "contribution" for Osterode's prosperity.]]
* [[spoiler:Muozinel's war slaves as the whole. Unlike most slaves, these captured prisoners will be joining the battle alongside with Muozinel Army's soldiers and general and often seen marching on the front lines. Not only the slaves' wages are much lower than that of an average soldiers by comparison, but they will also be forced to sacrifice themselves as Muozinel Army's ''human shields'' just in case if situation goes sour for the army. Either way, you'd feel sorry for these poor people whose life are destined to get worsen by day once they are at the hands of death from Muozinel's cruelty.]]
** [[spoiler:What's worse is the war slaves can be anybody, ''including high-ranking officers and their families'': The three mayors, who were one of many Melisande's former allies, learn this the hard way when they seek Kureys for help in yet another attempt in removing Regin, only to be enslaved along with their family for their troubles. This also shows that Kureys, as cunning as he can be, [[EveryoneHasStandards even he can't tolerate greedy traitors]].]]
* [[spoiler:The entire scenery of the destruction of Brune's villages and town that is ransacked by the Sachstein and Greast armies is pretty dark to the point even Damad of all people can't helped but to [[PetTheDog feel sorry for the victims of the destruction]].]]
* [[spoiler: Greast's downfall and demise as a whole, and it is ironically because of one woman [[{{Yandere}} he obsessed so much]]. ]]
** [[spoiler: Even after learning Muozinel's invasion Greast insist on travelling for Montour immediately as he has his plan for Elen and even Tigre. Sound like a foolproof plan, right? Well, what Greast miscalculated is that Tigre has already lurking somewhere near to his army camp and he is not alone, with Mila of all people. Needless to say, skirmish ensues and Greast's left hand is impaled by an arrow shot. What does he do? ''Demanding Elen to heal his right hand'' and even using the Magical Chain to ''warp around her as hostage''! Elen's response? '''[[AnArmAndALeg Chopping off that jerk's right hand immediately]]'''! Haven't you heard about hell hath no fury than a WomanScorned, Greast? Especially what have you done to her for ten days?]]
** [[spoiler: Despite his injury however, Greast, being a DirtyCoward and a {{Determinator}}, '''still''' refuses to give up Elen and trying to retake her by planning to rush the Moonlight Knight once an for all. For a supposed genius strategist, this is a certainly a rash move that will only backfires very quickly not just to him, but his entire army! Which lead us to...]]
** [[spoiler: The Battle of Montour. You'd expecting Greast Army will prevail again like the last time, right? Wrong! They instead being butchered mercilessly by a vengeful Moonlight Knights-specifically Leitmeritz Army who is extremely pissed off after learning Elen's torture! This is not a battle, this is a '''bloody massacre'''! In fact, ''Greast'' [[OhCrap is shocked to see his army's annihilation]] that [[VillainExitStageLeft he had to escape]] ''[[VillainExitStageLeft by himself]]''! It is thanks to Tina that Greast manage to flee from his pursuers, although this is because the former want to know Ruslan's whereabouts so she can fulfill her own ambition. He will not go far though...]]
** [[spoiler: Greast's KarmicDeath in an ironic way. Oh boy, not even his brain can save him now! Of all the place he could've escape to, he goes to Vernon Mansion and even stay here of a night. Little does Greast even realizes that he is tied on a chair with ropes, and end up being tortured to death by one of his own torture devices, funny enough. Who is Greast's torturer and executioner? '''Denis'''! Yes, folks, Greast is killed not by Tigre, Elen, or even soldiers from Brune and/or Zhcted, but an exiled Brunish noble who hold his grudge against the former Marquis for screwing his family good reputation. Also, both his and Vernon's beheaded heads are delivered to Tigre and Mashas as Denis's sign of redemption.]]
*** [[spoiler: The kicker? It is revealed that Vernon, owner of the mansion and an ally of Greast, has already died ''long before'' Greast even arrive to the mansion, courtesy to Denis and his friends. This means the former Marquis is actually entered a '''trap''' without even realizing anything at all.]]
* [[spoiler:The bitter reunion between Elen and Fine in general. It begins with Elen calls Fine out in an angrier tone we never seen before since her incident with Greast. In fact, she is so angry that any mention about Vissarion from Fine's words ticks her off, and it takes Lim, Sofy, Mila and Tigre to calm Elen down and drag her out from the office. Considering what we learned from Fine's and Elen's past relationship prior to Vissarion's death and the disbandment of Silver Gale Mercenaries, the latter's rage against the former is somewhat understandable.]]
** [[spoiler:The kicker is that Fine ''knows'' both Elen and Lim will never forgive her for killing Vissarion and yet she pushes [[BerserkButton her former friend's buttons]] for mentioning him and his dreams anyways simply because her impulse has gotten the best of her. One would've wonder if her earlier provocation is either intentional or by accident.]]
* [[spoiler: The passing of King Viktor and Ilda's questionable death marks Zhcted's darkest days in the kingdom's history, which is also Tina's golden opportunity in manipulating the events into her favor for the throne, including tricking Ruslan along the way. Unless the heroes are going to do something about it, her ambition cannot be stopped...]]
** [[spoiler: Everything begins with Tina enlisting some help from Fine and Liza in quelling the "rebels" (read: Sofy and Elen) who "stood against" Ruslan's reign. Keep in mind that this is actually Tina's agenda in getting rid of her would-be rivals who stop her from getting what she wants. Sure, the assassination plot is foiled thanks to the intervention by Tigre and Ruslan, saving Sofy and Liza in the progress, but surprisingly it is all part of Tina's plan and it only get worse from here...]]
*** [[spoiler:Fine's betrayal onto Liza and attacks her is this. The reason? Well, it is due to their distrust onto Liza over her rekindled relationship with Elen.]]
*** [[spoiler:The bigger shocker is that Ruslan of all people is acting suspiciously "nicer" for Tina and Fine, making him as literary a PuppetKing of Zhcted. Sure, it is courtesy to Tina that Ruslan returned to his "normal health" and becoming king, but hasn't he even realize that behind her "kindness" hid a dark .]]
* [[spoiler: Tigre's nightmare about the world the demons yearned to change as the whole. Let's see, purple fields, red skies, green seas, and a lot of demons lurking everywhere. What is scarier is Tigre's horrific discovery upon one shattered weapon which assumed to be Arifar and, get ready for this, '''tombstones, dead corpses and broken weapons are everywhere'''! Worst yet, '''one of them has Elen's name on it'''! Yes, folks, this is exactly what Tir Na Fal warned Tigre about the demon's twisted plot and this nightmare ''will'' be happening if Ganelon succeeds in what he do! What delaying our heroes? Zhcted's first and deadly civil war finally breaks out after Tina's and Fine's escape. Not helping matter is the army of Muozinel (read: the leader is not Kureys) is now using this chaos as an opportunity to invade Zhcted! Whether this from rouge war maidens, rebellious nobles or even outside invaders, it seems Viktor's nightmare about the dooming kingdom is coming all too true...]]
* [[spoiler: Of all the chaos that plaguing Zhcted, Tir Na Fal's descent comes down as the worst considering Ganelon is the one who performing a ritual for this summoning, with Tigre and the Black Bow as his last "instruments". Just look at the color of the sky! '''It is freakin' purple'''! You don't see ''that'' everyday!]]
* At the end of Volume 17, [[spoiler:Sofy was so close to dying after Tina wounded her]].
* During the climax, [[spoiler:Silesia came ''this close'' to becoming a chaotic wasteland]].

* The aftermath of Battle of Dinant. It was a mess where bodies of dead Brunish soldiers were piling everywhere, as is the case in TruthInTelevision. Tigre, despite him being the SoleSurvivor in that battle, he is in a helpless situation where he is not only unable to see his allies [[note]]Allies such as Bertrand, Mashas and even Zion were the lucky few who [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere managed to escape from the Dinant Plains]].[[/note]]anywhere in the aftermath, he also had survive while escaping from the invading Zhcted Army: He had to kill a scout soldier who found him, then the horses of the two soldiers who were riding beside [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom Elen]], and eventually attempt to assassinate the War Maiden herself as his last stand. That is short-lived however, as Elen deflects his last two arrow shots and eventually cornering him and has him becoming her POW, something that is rarely done by any War Maiden, at least according to Lim.
** The reason behind Brune Army's defeat is this as they were no match against Elen's might and her army's ambush tactics despite their overwhelming numbers. This shows that the might and prowess of the Zhcted Army are never to be underestimated, especially when the commander is a [[OneManArmy female whose strength is rumored to be worth 1,000 men]].
** Not only the Brune Army's defeat has its only survivor as Zhcted's hostage, but the supposed death[[note]]In the midst of the chaos, Regin was able to flee to Agnus along with her maid Jeanne who unfortunately perished during the escape, courtesy of the assassins sent by Ganelon.[[/note]] of Prince Regnas, who is Princess Regin in disguise, giving a fatal blow to Brune. King Faron is so devastated to hear such news that he withdrawing himself from politics and holed himself up in his bedroom. That alone further paving the tyrannical path of Thenardier and Ganelon for dominating the kingdom, and eventually kickstarting Brune's brutal civil war.

* Speaking of Alsace, how about Zion and his army's [[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs atrocious attack onto Tigre's hometown]]?
** Alsace is under fire from the invading Zion Army who loot, destroy and even outright kill those who trying to escape. Luckily for the citizens however, most of them (especially healthier ones) were already evacuated to nearby wilderness and/or villages long before Zion Army's arrival while the rest sought refuge inside the local shrine, something not even Thenardier dare to touch. That however doesn't even stop Zion from keep attacking Alsace as he later finds it ''boring'' and decides [[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs to pay Vorn Manor a "visit" before burning it down]].
** Titta's NearRapeExperience from Zion. While she is watching Alsace's near destruction, she, being the only person who stayed at Vorn Manor at the time, had to confront Zion who is viciously [[TrashTalk trash talking]] about Tigre while chasing after her to the balcony. Titta tries to defend herself with her knife, only to be subdued by Zion with absolutely ''no'' hesitation and have her uniform nearly destroyed, '''with the Black Bow pinned atop of her'''. If it wasn't for [[BigDamnHeroes Tigre]] firing his arrow [[ImpaledPalm to pierce Zion's hand]] and [[TheCavalry the Leitmeritz army's arrival]], Titta ''and'' Alsace would become yet another victim to Thenardier's atrocities.

** In the opening battle, everything seems to be fine for Tigre, Elen and others until they stumble upon Suro, the Earth Dragon that belonged to Zion Army that crushing anyone near it. Oh, aside from its hardest shell, every body parts including its eyes are as hard as a diamond, as Tigre finds out.
** Zion's reason in attacking Alsace is this, whether it's from his father's order or his personal grudge against Tigre. When confronted by Tigre about the incident of Alsace as his retort against the former's accusation for "betraying" Brune for Zhcted, he claims that ''peasants who are beneath him are merely plants that can be cut down anytime he wants''. This attitude itself indicating the depth of House Thenardier's cruelty goes so far that even Elen -- an outsider from Zhcted no less -- loathes him as a SoreLoser.

* The assassination attempt from the Seven Chain Assassins [[note]]Also known as the Serrash.[[/note]] to the groups of heroes. Regardless which adaptation's timeline [[note]]Unlike the Light Novel or Manga, the Anime adaptation set this incident happens ''before'' the heroes reach to Rodrick instead of after.[[/note]] you follow, the location of the incident take place is the same: a small shortcut route that is located in the forest between Rodrick and Leitmeritz. The group of heroes seemly doing fine until Lim is poisoned by one of the assassins's snake. Elen is [[OhCrap shocked in horror]] to see her friend's dire position, and Tigre had to suck out the poison from her right breast (no really, but for good reasons). When that happens, the assassins attempt to retaliate only to be slaughtered by Mila's Cielo Zam Kafa that exterminate the six assassins, except one who has already slipped away without anyone notice. Not helping matters is Mila [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech denouncing Elen about her worthiness as a war maiden for even worrying about Lim's condition]] while ignoring Tigre's gratitude and leaving the scene. Wow.

* Two parts of Battle of Orange featuring gruesome battles between the Silver Meteor Army and the Navarre Knights.

Although ''LightNovel/LordMarksmanAndVanadis'' features awesome battles involving Tigre and the seven war maidens, it does have its own fair share of nightmarish and horrific moments since this series is all about war, where casualties are everywhere. Not to mention there are demons to worry about because [[spoiler: of their twisted goals for causing havoc in the human realm]]. So expect some {{Character Death}}s and tense {{cliffhanger}}s where each of them often prompting those who read it to wonder what's going to happen next.

'''Some stories from Volume 3 will be marked. Read ahead at your own risk of being spoiled.'''

** [[spoiler: Even after learning Muozinel's invasion Greast insist on travelling for Montour immediately as he has his plan for Elen and even Tigre. Sound like a foolproof plan, right? Well, what Greast miscalculated is that Tigre has already lurking somewhere near to his army camp and he is not alone, with Mila of all people.

''Demanding Elen to heal his right hand'' and even using the Magical Chain to ''warp around her as hostage''! Elen's response? '''[[AmArmAndALeg Chopping off that jerk's right hand immediately]]'''! Haven't you heard about hell hath no fury than a WomanScorned, Greast? Especially what have you done to her for ten days?]]

** The burning of [[spoiler: Lutetia's capital Artishem]] is part of Ganelon's plan for his escape from Brune. Here, after his defeat he pretended becoming "crazy" and literary ''burning his own capital city into the ground''! ''With poor people who considered the place home''! In fact, Artishem's situation is so terrible that the Silver Meteor Army has to hasten their journey for Lutetia immediately even though they will be fighting against Thenardier Army at Vincennes Plains along the way.

*** Speaking of which, Elen ''jumps'' onto Mila--who is so stunned about how ineffective her powers against the dragons with the chains--while protecting her from the Fire Dragon's fire! The result? She got '''burned at the back''' for the rescue! Mila is so mortified by this that she drags Elen out from the battlefield and heals her immediately!
** Things doesn't goes well for Tigre's side either. According to one of Mashas' men, there are two Viscount ranked officers are plotting in betraying the Silver Meteor Army and defect for Thenardier Army with their 500 soldier with them. Fortunately, Tigre have the traitors to be executed for their treachery, which shows us that even the Silver Meteor Army will not tolerate traitors.

* Tigre's rage against Thenardier in their final showdown is this. [[ItsPersonal It becomes so personal]] for our hero that he literary want ''destroy'' his rival by supposedly attenpting to unleash the Black Bow's true power. Regardless of the adaptation, thankfully Elen snaps him out by [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan punching him in the face]] and telling him not to be intoxicated by revenge.

* Do ''not'', under any circumstances, make Elizaveta Fomina angry, especially when she sees the only person who cares for her being robbed away. Ryurik learns this the hard way when he tries to convince Urs as the missing Tigre. Liza responds by angrily yelling at him to the point that she gives him a DeathGlare to make him back off.
* Literally every ghost from Liza past that are created by Baba Yaga is this. Sure, they're illusions and they aren't real, and Liza herself is aware of this, but these are the things happened in Liza's life and trying to mess with her head. We have her childhood bullies who ridiculed her Rainbow Eyes, then Elen who begrudged her over the burning village, and finally a zombiefied Rodion who even demands her to avenge him. Liza is able to shake them off but with a lot of courage to actually pull herself through the situation.

* [[spoiler: Elen's imprisonment by Greast. Its a horrendous experience. The chain that lock her up isn't just an ordinary chain you see, its a magical chain it that ''prevents'' her from summoning Arifar. That's right, folks. That's the same chain that gave both Elen and Mila some trouble for having their Dragon Tool's powers nullified during their battle against Thenardier's dragons! What come next is a twisted greeting from Greast himself who is touching Elen's body against her will, except the kissing and... taking her virginity part, initially. Instead, he will try to rape her so he can [[BreakTheBadass break Elen]] ''[[BreakTheBadass and]]'' [[BreakTheBadass Tigre]] at once at Vernon Mansion with absolutely ''no'' hesitation.

Needless to say, skirmish ensues and Greast's left hand is impaled by an arrow shot. What does he do? ''Demanding Elen to heal his right hand'' and even using the Magical Chain to ''warp around her as hostage''! Elen's response? '''Chopping off that jerk's right hand immediately'''! Haven't you heard about hell hath no fury than a woman scorned, Greast? Especially what have you done to her for ten days?]]

** [[spoiler: Battle of Montour. You'd expecting Greast Army will prevail again like the last time, right? Wrong! They instead being butchered mercilessly by a vengeful Moonlight Knights-specifically Leitmeritz Army who is extremely pissed off after learning Elen's torture! This is not a battle, this is a '''bloody massacre'''! In fact, ''Greast'' is shocked to see his army's annihilation that he had to escape ''by himself''! It is thanks to Tina that Greast manage to flee from his pursuers, although this is because the former want to know Ruslan;s whereabouts so she can fulfill her own ambition. He will not go far though...]]

* [[spoiler: Tigre's nightmare about the world Demon yearned to change as the whole. Lets see, purple field, red sky, green sea, and a lot of demons lurking everywhere. What is scarier is Tigre's horrific discovery upon one shattered weapon which assumed to be Arifar and, get ready for this, '''tombstones, dead corpses and broken weapons are everywhere'''! Worst yet, '''one of them has Elen's name on it'''! Yes, folks, this is exactly what Tir Na Fal warned Tigre about the demon's twisted plot and this nightmare ''will'' be happening if Ganelon succeeds in what he do! What delaying our heroes? Zhcted's first and deadly civil war finally breaks out after Tina's and Fine's escape. Not helping matter is the army of Muozinel (read: the leader is not Kureys) is now using this chaos as an opportunity to invade Zhcted! Whether this from rouge war maidens, rebellious nobles or even outside invaders, it seems Viktor's nightmare about the dooming kingdom is coming all too true...]]

* The aftermath of Battle of Dinant is this. It was a mess where bodies of dead Brunish soldiers were piling everywhere. Tigre, despite him being the [[SoleSurvivor only survivor]] in that battle, he is in a helpless situation where he is not only unable to see his allies [[note]]Allies such as Bertrand, Mashas and even Zion were the lucky few who [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere managed to escape from the Dinant Plains]].[[/note]]anywhere in the aftermath, he also had survive while escaping from the invading Zhcted Army: He had to kill a scout soldier who found him, then the horses of the two soldiers who were riding beside Elen, and eventually attempt to assassinate the War Maiden herself as his last stand. That is short-lived however, as Elen deflects his last two arrow shots and eventually cornering him and has him becoming her POW, something that is rarely done by any War Maiden, at least according to Lim.

* [[spoiler: Of all the chaos that plaguing Zchted, Tir Na Fal's descent comes down as the worst considering Ganelon is the one who performing a ritual for this summoning, with Tigre and the Black Bow as his last "instruments". Just look at the color of the sky! '''It is freakin' purple'''! You don't see ''that'' everyday!]]

* [[spoiler: The unholy alliance between Ganelon and the demons itself is this. ]]
* [[spoiler:We get to see a revelation behind the VillainousFriendship between Tina and Ganelon from the former's perspective. According to her backstory, in order to improve Osterode's prosperity, Tina had to travel all the way to Lutetia and sought Ganelon as her trade partner, despite the fact that Ezendeis (Tina's Dragon Tool) sense something ominous within that said "trade partner". Probably got you even wondering that Tina's reason in aiding Ganelon's escape from Brune was to repay his "contribution" for making Osterode even richer.]]

* [[spoiler: Greast's downfall and demise as a whole. Just because this guy successfully captured Elen doesn't means his success will be a long-term one, and it displays how a mighty has fallen over because of one woman...]]
** [[spoiler: Even after learning Muozinel's invasion Greast insist on travelling for Montour immediately while hoping to rape Elen in front of Tigre. Sound like a foolproof plan, right? What Greast's miscalculate is Tigre is already at somewhere nearby and he is not alone. Of course, fight ensures and Greast's right hand is impaled by an arrow shot. What does he do next? ''Demanding Elen to heal his right hand'' and even using the Magical Chain to ''warp around her as hostage''! Elen's response? '''Chopping off that jerk's right hand immediately'''! Haven't you heard about hell hath no fury than a woman scorned, Greast?]]
** [[spoiler: With Elen is taken away, you'd expect Greast to give up, right? Nope, Greast still trying to retake Elen and planning to crush the Moonlight Knight once an for all. For a supposed genius strategist, this is a certainly a rash move that will only backfires very quickly not just to him, but his entire army! Which lead us to...]]
** [[spoiler: Battle of Montour. With the first victory, you'd expecting Greast Army will prevail again like the last time, right? '''Wrong'''!

This is not a battle, this is a massacre! In fact, ''Greast'' is shocked to see his army's annihilation that he escapes ''by himself''!

** [[spoiler: Even after learning Muozinel's invasion Greast insist on travelling for Montour immediately. Surely that is a perfect plan, right? What Greast's fail to realize is that Tigre already plan to rescue Elen alongside with Mila. Of course, fight ensures and not only Greast's soldiers are losing ground, his right hand is impaled by Tigre's arrow shot. What does he do next? ''Demanding Elen to heal his right hand''. Elen's response? '''Chopping off that said hand with disgust'''!]]
** [[spoiler: With Elen is taken away and the supplies are burned into ashes, you'd think Greast to give up immediately, right? No, Greast is so angry about this that he not only condemning Tigre, but also planning to crush the Moonlight Knight once an for all and retake Elen. For a supposed genius strategist, this decision by far the worst of it and it will bites him and his army hard. Which lead us to...]]

** [[spoiler: Greast's death in an ironic way. Oh boy, not even his brain can save him now! Of all the place he could've escape to, he instead goes to Vernon Mansion and even stay here of a night. Little does Greast even realizes that he is trapped in a chair with ropes , and end up being tortured to death by one of his torture devices, funny enough. Who is Greast's torturer and executioner? '''Denis'''! Yes, folks, Greast's death is not by Tigre, Elen, or even soldiers from Brune and/or Zhcted, but an exiled Brunish noble who hold his grudge against the former Marquis.As the result, the beheaded heads (Vernon's and Greast's) are delivered to Tigre ans Mashas as Denis's sign of redemption.]]
*** [[spoiler: The kicker? It is revealed that Vernon, former owner of the mansion and an ally of Greast, has already died ''long before'' Greast even arrive to the mansion. This means that the former Marquis is actually entering a '''trap''' without realizing anything at all. ]]

*** [[spoiler:The bigger shocker is that Ruslan of all people is acting suspiciously "nicer" for Tina and Fine, making him as literary a PuppetKing of Zhcted. Sure, it is courtesy to Tina that Ruslan returned to his "normal health" and becoming king, but that itself will destroying Zhcted if Ruslan.]]

** The first battle is more like a slaughter fest when Silver Meteor Army is ill-prepared for the brutality from Roland and his brigade gave them, including their two commanders: Elen is struggling against the Black Knight because her Arifar's wind barely even scratches him, Tigre meanwhile is severely injured from the Durandal's slash despite successfully rescues Elen, temporarily immobilizes Roland by [[spoiler: killing his horse with a '''creative way''']]. Even both Elen's and Tigre's escape have becoming a problem as the Navarre Knights literary ''throwing a rain of Javelins'' at them just to prevent their escape! Hadn't for Sofy's rescue and the arrival of Mashas and his men, the Silver Meteor Army would be done for.
