The One Standing in the Way is the sixth episode of the second Chronicles of the Heroic Knight manga volume and the eleventh episode overall.
Synopsis[]
Neese explains to Aldonova why she wants to head to Valis; she has been having nightmares in which she finds herself in an underground temple, where Wagnard beckons her to come and calls her his sacrifice. And that's where the nightmares end.[1] Aldonova asks what Wagnard might mean with "sacrifice," and Neese explains that Wagnard is trying to resurrect Kardis, the goddess of destruction, using two "keys" and one "doorway". The two keys are the Soul Crystal Ball and the Staff of Life, while the "sacrifice" is the "doorway", who is Neese herself.[2] Because the Soul Crystal Ball has already been stolen, Neese wants to protect the Staff of Life, which is in Valis.
Since Spark has coincidentally been requested to head to Valis as well, Neese once again travels with him. Near the end of the chapter, the party arrives in Roid. Also in Roid, Jiba is about to return to Marmo, but wants to do some damage to the city before he leaves.[3]
