*Main article: The Invaders of the Large Tomb Arc*
Hekkeran had just returned to the Singing Apple Inn where he found his lover, Imina, rudely approached by a man looking for Arche. Imina refused to disclose the location of her friend as the person also refused to tell her his business. Hekkeran Termite eventually came and scared the man away.

Arche and Roberdyck Goltron returned and met up with Hekkeran Termite and Imina, where it was revealed that the man looking for Arche was a debt collector and the dire financial situation of her family.

Foresight took on a request made by Count Femel, after meeting the noble at his residence, along with the gathered worker parties, Hekkeran immediately took on a disliking for the leader of Tenmu, Erya Uzruth due to his mistreatment of his elven slaves.

When they entered the depths of the mysterious Large Tomb, their party fought against hordes of undead who caught sight of them. They eventually triggered a trap, transporting them to the Colosseum on the 6th Floor to be pit against the master of the Large Tomb. Hekkeran attempted to bluff his way into Ainz's good graces by stating that Foresight was sent by his comrades. However, his lie was seen through by Ainz and thus invoking his wrath. Much to his shock, Ainz turned out not just a competent warrior but also a magic caster of unmatched caliber. He was nearly finished off had it not been for Imina's intervention, but he eventually fell to Ainz's negative touch. Hekkeran and Imina were later sent to Gashokukochuuou's residence.

## Quotes

* (To Parpatra about Erya): *"That's right. It doesn't matter if he ends up killing himself, but it'll be bad if we end up getting dragged down with him."*
* (To Gringham): *"I already know that. However, it's really difficult to gather information on those of the same profession as us within the Kingdom. It's also a waste of money."*
* (To Gringham about Momon): *"That wouldn't have been possible. Momon-dono never had the intention to attack in the first place. He didn't even show any fighting spirit. Most likely, it was just as he had said, that he wasn't used to holding back, If he had really attacked, Elder most likely would have lost his life."*
* (To Himself): *"From now on...Like adventurers...it would be nice to explore the unknown by taking on requests to adventure..."*
* (To himself about Ainz Ooal Gown): *"What a troublesome guy, is this what happens when you give warrior training to a monster with superhuman abilities? Just how strong is he?"*
* (To himself in regard to Ainz Ooal Gown): *"He's immune to both slashing and piercing attacks? What kind of monster is he?!"*
* (To Imina concerning Ainz Ooal Gown): *"He's lying! Imina, if that were true, there would be no reason to fight at all. He must have some kind of weakness!"*
