Story
The introduction of Chapter 3 opens with Ilias' forces launching their assault over the entire world.

Cut to Iliasburg, where Goblin Girl prepares to head out on her next delivery business. After receiving a lunch box from Vampire Girl, Goblin Girl heads directly to Yamatai Village and stops there for a lunch break, sharing her food with a Nekomata. Suddenly, an ominous, evil chill goes up their spines, followed by a scream from the village. The two proceed to investigate.

Cut to San Ilia. The San Ilia King is reading a book to two Fairies. A soldier interrupts and reports a massive wave of unknown insect-type monsters approaching the castle. One of the fairies recognizes it to be similar to the Chimera Dryad.

Cut to Sabasa Castle. Soldiers report to the Sabasa King that another wave of monsters, approximately an entire battalion (1,000 troops), as well as more than ten gigantic monsters, is heading straight for them. The king then attacks the messenger, who reveals to be vampire Carmilla. The king immediately orders evacuation and locking down the gates to prevent vampires from escaping and then confronting the approaching monsters while he goes on to hold off the vampires.

Cut to Grand Noah. The Grand Noah Queen is actually pleased with how the colosseum is running. The conversation is suddenly interrupted by Dullahan and Cerberus, who sense an ominous presence, and request her to leave. After she does so, Lamiaroid shows up, and the three monsters engage battle.

Cut to Grangold. The Grangold King is a bit worried with the lack of timber needed for repairs and asks Queen Ant to do something about it. However, she is already in conversation with Spider Princess. The monstrous enemy uses Gigamander to obliterate Queen Ant with ease, and the Spider Princess calls forth her brethren to devour the entire kingdom.

Back at the Monster Lord’s Castle, Luka and Alice charge into the fray of monsters. Alice decides to take down the chimeras while Luka goes after the angels, as he is the only one who can harm them with Angel Halo. He manages to defeat Cupid and Valkyrie, as well as the Archangel Ariel. Deciding to go after the leader again, Alice attacks Promestein, but she uses the very same barrier placed on Queen Ant in Grangold to seal the Monster Lord, much to Luka's shock. Promestein then successfully strips Luka of the power of the Four Spirits, leaving him severely weakened. Just as she continues to oppress Luka, Tamamo with the Giganto Weapon shows up and severely crushes most of Promestein's forces, and Tamamo's aura alone is enough to scare the Chimera Beasts, prompting Promestein to order a withdrawal.

Luka chases after Promestein to Remina, where a strange girl tells him the location of Promestein's secret laboratory. Luka fights off a few resistance while noticing destruction above waist height. Luka eventually encounters Promestein, along with a shrunken Alice, revealing that Tamamo had taught her how to partially break the seal. Promestein then transforms and does battle, but Luka suddenly enters Serene Mind, despite Undine being sealed; likewise Zylphe isn't working so well for Promestein either.

After managing to drive back Promestein, she attempts to inject herself with a syringe, but Black Alice appears and stops her, stating that its too soon to use that "White Rabbit" injection, and Promestein disappears. Black Alice then confirms her identity as the 8th Monster Lord and reveals Ilias' plans of eradicating humanity, then disappears.

Luka and the young Alice then attempt to find a way to undo Promestein's seal, but Tamamo comes crashing in and immediately reports that the entire world is under siege, by the angelic forces, including Ilias Village. Alarmed, Luka and Alice, on Galda, immediately set off to location of the very beginning of their journey.

Meanwhile, Promestein awakens at the Drain Lab, meeting her fellows: La Croix, Laplace, and Lucia, fellow truth-seekers of existence despite racial differences. Promestein reports the previous events. They all assign themselves to duties before leaving.

Luka finds Ilias Village in ruins, much to his wrath. Archangel Ranael taunts Luka, causing his fiery rage to break the Keepsake Ring and reveal his true, angelic form, and annihilates the Archangel. Alice explains that the ring was empowering him, rather it was keeping him in check. She then licks dirt and confirms that the villagers were teleported to Enrika.

Heading there, Luka assists the defending elves from Chimera Tongue, the Angel Soldiers, and Principality Nagael, but Rapunzel shows up. Micaela appears and her aura alone is enough to completely drive Rapunzel away. After showing him the survivors, Micaela explains the entire history of Ilias and Alipheese the First and how the world came to be, as well as Luka's linage to Heinrich and Micaela's sister, Lucifina. Tamamo then arrives and explains about the seal on the Four Spirits: they were all sent back to their original locations and are being inhibited by that world-wide barrier. She also reports that Ilias is still assaulting worldwide, and then teaches Alice Word of Dispel, allowing her to temporarily regain her true form and power for just three seconds. Micaela then explains Luka about his angelic powers, then wishes him well after he rests up.

Meanwhile, Archangel Mariel and Cupid inform Eden of the events transpiring and of Promestein's secret laboratory.

Returning to Iliasburg, Luka defeats Chimera Slug, Chimera Tentacle, and Archangel Mariel, repelling all the invading forces. However, the remaining three bandits are a bit shaken up and feel a bit weak on the onslaught.

Pressing on to Happiness Village, Luka defeats Chimera Medullahan whereas Queen Harpy arrives to deal with Chimera Prison, and urges Luka on to defeat Trinity. In the aftermath, Queen Harpy once again thanks Luka for his assistance and prepares for subsequent invasions.

Heading towards Sentora, their first stop is San Ilia, where they fight off Chimera Bug and Sister Lamia. Luka then presses on to defeat Catoblepas Girl and the ghosts and fairies clinging onto the San Ilia King revitalize him after being partially absorbed by the monster. The King, depressed, explains that the followers of Ilias, now martyrs, accepting Ilias' grace of death, and the king has lost his way. Luka manages to convince him to give up his faith in Ilias, and the two proceed to the temple to deal with the martyrs. Power Muzukiel arrives to grant their wishes, but Luka stops and seals her, and the King convinces the priests to also give up their faith in Ilias. San Ilia thanks Luka and Alice and wishes them well before they leave.

Next stop: Port Natalia. Two factions of mermaids are attacking one another, and Luka arrives to fend off Mermaid, Mermaid General, El, and finally Queen Mermaid, who is attacking out of intense hatred of humanity. Though Luka is unable to convince Queen Mermaid, his words reaches her daughter, El, who uses her blood to save a fatally injured boy. The Mermaids retreat for now, and Luka and Alice hope for the future of mermaids.

At the Haunted Manor, Luka feels an unpleasant aura. He fights off Shadow Girl and Paintgeist and then encounters Chrome in the basement torturing Alice with ghosts. After defeating her, Chrome explains that she was researching ghosts and had killed Experimental Organism X-7, and reveals to have received equipment from Promestein despite not actually meeting in person. She explains her motives are to revive a honor of her family, and she is not on Ilias' side. La Croix, Chrome's sister, then shows up and taunts all three of them, revealing her Cirque du Croix; seven extremely powerful monsters, including Alice XV (Fifteenth), after seeing who Alice becomes incredibly angry. After La Croix departs, Alice and Luka leave to continue repelling Ilias' invasion and eventually bring peace to Alice's mother.

Finally going to retrieve Sylph, they move on to the Forest of Spirits, where they sense powerful angel resistance. They defeat Power Berryelle and Virtue Revel, but they do not find Sylph: instead, there is Gnome; Alice theorizes that if they did return to their original habitats, they would easily regain power, so they were sent to the original habitats with conflicting power. In order for Gnome to recover, Luka is forced to have vaginal sex. Afterwards, the duo move on to Safina.

Meanwhile, Promestein and Eden discuss of Luka regaining his strength and argue about loyalty to Ilias.

In the Sabasa Desert, Luka helps the knights of the Sabasa Castle fend off a Chimera Chariot. The knights then explain the situation occuring in Sabasa Castle and the duo move on. They fight off Carmilla, Elizabeth, and Vampire Queen. The King thanks them and rebuilds his army to prepare for future assaults.

The duo move on to Witch Hunt Village. Meanwhile, Lucia appears to Lily in her cell and reveals her plots of wiping out the village, and transforms into a monster and swallows her whole for revenge. In the battlefield, the female mutants are fighting off the invaders; Luka fights of Chimera Homunculus and Iron Maiden v2 and then defeats Lucia. Though his words cannot reach her, she requests him to fight for her share on humanity and leaves. Luka and Alice leave the mansion and learn that the humans have accepted the transmogrified humans.

Finally making way to Safaru Ruins, Virtue Silkiel and Dominion Endiel attack. After defeating them both, they find an aged Sylph, and Luka is, like before, forced to have sex with her. Afterwards, the overjoyed Sylph returns to normal and in Luka merges her wind with his Fallen Angel Dance.

Meanwhile, Eden and Black Alice oversee Luka regaining Sylph. Despite the apparent failure, they have believed to won; all they need now is Luka's defeat.
