Chapter 4-12

Lentis
Lentis awakens in the sword with a disembodied voice accompanying him. He guides Lentis through the place to help free him but it seems to all be in vein, and the world clearly doesn’t obey time or space. The more they talk the more the light remembers, until he recalls that he is a Sprite. Sigma Sprite. He reveals Lambda is the one who trapped him there, and that he can manifest Lentis in the physical world. Eager to leave, Lentis urges him to and the Sprite does just that.

In the real world, Lentis is faced by Kyokku amidst a ritual placing a Sprite into the corpse of a giant man. Hundreds of monks are watching. Lentis dies but is shortly revived in the realm with the pain lingering. Thinking he made progress, he enters the real world again just to realize he’s gone back in time. Hundreds of attempts later, it’s clear it’s pointless.

The Sprite divulges more information and Lentis realizes he can move himself through time, to a time he’s out of here! Failing miserably, he only succeeds in bringing them backward in time to the very moment Lambda entrapped Sigma in the Blade of Achelous, presumably the sword used by the God himself.

Lentis and Sigma undo the time travel and return to the modern day. Finally, Lentis is able to escape the sword by not appearing to be threatening. It was so easy all along. Kyokku has a monk guide Lentis to a healing altar to make sure he is healthy, noting that there has been many victims of Sigma.
