In the following three days after Engen assumed the throne and was ready to inherit the The Torch, a woman appeared who called herself The Iron Witch. She would kill everyone in the area in a mere second and destroy the Torch.

Roxanne was traumatized from the entire experience, but she still continued to support Engen. Nera, while no longer at its peak, was still strong enough to fight for a place of dominance in the world.  After the time in which the Witch appeared, certain rumors started to spread around the same time. A man known as the Skysword had gained the attention of the world as he killed numerous district lords and defeated one of the Elders, Yushin in a duel. The Skysword had gain enough power to form an organization called the Hero Clan based around his fame. It was only matter of time until the clan, having operated underneath the banner of justice, clashed with Engen and the remaining remnants of Nera in what would be called the War of the Reeds or the Great War. Abyss fought alongside Engen and their comrades in numerous battles during the war as his right arm, but they would be defeated once again after losing two major battles in the war. Roxanne would fall into despair while Engen kept fighting, leading to her deserting and abandoning him. The word of "Nera" ceased to exist with the clan banning its name after their victory.
