A search party of hunters heads off to the White Wolf’s Den on Cry Andrich’s orders. What they find there is a terrifyingly ominous monster—the likes of which they’ve never seen before!

Meanwhile, a restless Cry gets a visit from an old friend (and fellow member of the Grieving Souls): Sytry Smart. The master alchemist returns home at last...

**From English**

As Krai and the First Steps prepare to raid the White Wolf’s Den, Sitri Smart, creator of the monster slime on the loose, shows up just in time! If anyone knows how to deal with the missing slime fiasco, it’s her―except she also has no ideas about its whereabouts or what form it may have taken. Instead, she has more bad news: The threat in the vault is something entirely different and way more dangerous…Just what kind of trouble did Krai send his clan into?

## Treasure Shrine Certification Level

Each Treasure Shrine had a Level Certification. It shows how difficult the Treasure Shrine is. Most of the time it is recommended to at least have the same level or a level higher than treasure Shrine. But the higher Treasure Shrine Level is the harder it is to explore it solo.

Only some Treasure Shrine can't be access, Treasure Shrine Level is only a recommandation for Party and Hunter. There is no restriction or interdiction to go if the Party have a lower level than the Treasure Shrine (e.g Strange Grief)

## Monster/Phantom Certification Level

Like Treasure Shrine it shows how difficult and strong a Monster and Phantom can be. Most of the time a Monster from the same race have the same level but there are occasion where a variant is born or created and it will have a higher Level.
