Episode Title:
It May Be a Trap, But I Have to Keep Moving Forward
Episode Description:
The Reaper admits he is Glen (proving Jade's suspicions correct, though Alina and Lululee find this hard to believe) and they are in a secret floor of the Guild's private labyrinth. A flashback shows that in his youth, Glen was renowned for being arrogant, selfish, and cruel, so the Guildmaster asked him to raise an orphan named Lynn so he would learn how to love. Glen leads them to the labyrinth's boss room where his teammates were all killed, including Lynn. Glen claims he can resurrect them by reversing time inside the room, but to do so, he needed a resurrected Dark God’s core. For years, he thought it was impossible to defeat a Dark God, until he met Alina and immediately began manipulating her and Silver Sword so they would kill a Dark God for him, also using Rufus and Heitz as pawns for his scheme. Glen reveals that he has implanted Silha's core into his left hand, sacrificing his soul to become a dark God himself. Alina insists that resurrecting the dead is impossible, but Glen insists he has to tell Lynn he loves her, something he was always too proud to say when she was alive. Aware that becoming a Dark God might corrupt him, he asks Alina to kill him if that happens. Glen activates the core and Alina sees a vision of a younger Glen with Lynn's body and an unseen man who told Glen how he could resurrect her. Glen continues to mutate, furious that even with the core, he can't rewind time even a few minutes more to when Lynn was alive. Desperate, he allows the core to consume him completely, planning to devour Alina and Silver Sword to increase his power.
