The Outskirts of Myrkur is the sixth and final episode of The Death and the thirty-second episode of The Tree of Life in general. It is the nineteenth dungeon where the Legion of Life must brave all the dangerous it holds in order to reach Myrkur to stop the Order of Magma and save Ezen as well as gain the nineteenth Tree of Life piece. On the way, they encounter some dangerous foes, old and new.

## Plot

As Ezen is escorted to his prison, he is suddenly found and confronted by his sister, Azen, who is alive and well. Ezen berates her for joining the Order of Magma, while Azen continues to mutter and express her jealousy at the fact that, just like when they were kids, everyone wanted Ezen for his raw strength rather than Azen. Ezen suggests letting him go, then they would focus on her a lot more, but Azen doesn't fall for that. She simply smirks and says that he's weak for not fighting back against the humans, while Ezen responds that she's weak for joining a fascist cult. Leethos appears and tells Azen that it's time to go. Azen smirks and bids goodbye to Ezen, saying they'll be seeing each other soon.

The Legion of Life finally arrives in the outskirts of Myrkur, and they begin to prepare. They start going through the tunnels, fighting many dangerous and powerful monsters, and even going over large Void cliffs. Eventually, once they reach the other side, they are separated, and Dabsar, Chappal and Zian are confronted by Skinscraper, who attacks them. While attacking them, he is, at first, determined that it is their fault that Blooddrawer is dead, and blames them for it, while trying to kill them. However, as he's shouting and shouting, he eventually starts to doubt the lies he's telling himself, and by the time Dabsar, Chappal and Zian are able to beat him, Skinscraper questions as to whether it is his own fault, and not the people he is currently trying to brutally kill.

As Pozan and Pilin return to the outskirts of Myrkur, they are greeted by the Magma Queen. They begin getting ready to return to the actual Myrkur with Ezen so that they can begin to execute their new plan. The Magma Queen then mocks Pilin, telling him that some old "friends" would like to see him. Pilin is greeted by Leethos, who is calling him a "piggy pig". Pozan warns Pilin not to do any funny business and leaves. Azen begins mocking and irritating Pilin, asking him whether his time away has caused him to reflect on his failures. Pilin retorts that it's Azen's brother, Ezen, who demonstrated immense weakness against the Order of Magma and is currently their prisoner. Azen warns Pilin to watch his words, as she can destroy him before he blinks. Baibee questions why she said that, as they are all back together now, which he is happy about. Pilin simply asks where Vogana is. Quite instantly, the witch appears, making a grand entrance. Pilin expresses his irritation alongside Azen with this. After this, Leethos begins to tease Pilin again, and Pilin blurts out that he had more fun outside the Order of Magma than he is in here. Azen responds, quite cruelly, that no one wanted him to come back, and not even his own father wanted him for him alone, and only wanted him for his legacy. Pilin demands for them to stop, and Leethos teases him by saying that he should cry to his mommy, only to quickly say "oh wait, you don't have one". This infuriates Pilin to the point that he punches Leethos straight across the room and leaves in fury. Vogana, confused, asks if she said anything to offend him.

Meanwhile, Skinscraper is feeling great responsibility for what he's done, realizing that it's his own fault that Blooddrawer had died. Chappal scolds him for this, telling him he doesn't deserve his own pity or theirs. Eventually, the rest of the Legion of Life catches up to them. Sven is confused as to why Skinscraper isn't attacking them. Skinscraper begs to join the Legion of Life, as he no longer wishes to be a part of the Order of Magma. Several Legion of Life soldiers are very quick to oppose this, with most of the reasoning being that he hasn't done anything good and has been a fascist for most of his life, and that his loyalty, especially considering that he allowed his own brother to be killed, would be quite questionable. Ultimately, Sven asks Dabsar, Chappal and Zian what they think. Chappal refuses, saying that he doesn't deserve it, while Dabsar and Zian suggest at least giving him a chance. Ultimately, Sven agrees to this, but warns Skinscraper that should he step out of line, he will kill him. Skinscraper agrees, and they continue traveling through the outskirts.

Eventually, they reach another part of the outskirts of Myrkur, in which they set up a base. However, they are found by Leethos who attacks them in a fierce but brief battle. After Leethos realizes he's outnumbered and outpowered, he leaves, warning them that he'll be back. Sid spits at him in disgust as he leaves. Skinscraper discourages him from doing that, saying that he won't appreciate him until he's gone. Sid tells Skinscraper that he's a prisoner, and that prisoners can't talk. Zoe tells Sid that it's fine and that he can talk. They begin discussing about what should happen next, and how they plan to save Ezen. Ocie also questions how they're going to manage to bring the Order of Magma to justice for what they've done to the City of Life. Sven, sadly, responds that there may be no way to bring them to justice, as their main focus currently is to save Ezen. Sid questions why they're risking everything for just one enderman, which outrages Zoe. Sven somewhat agrees, saying that if the entire Legion of Life is captured, there will be no hope for the world, while if just Ezen remains captured, it won't be the end of the world. Zian threatens to kill them both by crushing their souls, but Chappal quickly intervenes, scolding them, and then telling them that Ezen could be used to bring back The Void, and that they should be risking everything to save him, or else the world could be destroyed. Sven agrees, apologizing, while Ocie responds saying that they'll support him with whatever decision they make.

The Legion of Life split up, with Dabsar, Chappal, Zian and Skinscraper going through two tunnels, one with Baibee and the other with Azen. They fight with both of them. Azen mocks them for their weakness, telling them that she is superior and that Ezen will soon be doomed. After this, they go into the last tunnel, into the gateway to Myrkur. They suddenly find the powerful witch Vogana waiting for them. This results in a ferocious battle between them, and Vogana attacks and fights them with great ferocity of magic. She also reveals in this battle that it was in fact the Magma Queen who killed Nadu, not a random Void wizard.

Sometime after they fight, Pozan suddenly arrives, and Azen casts a spell on them to keep them to the ground, preventing them from moving. In this time, Pozan mocks them for failure. He then questions what should be done with them. Leethos suggests simply killing them, while Pilin suggests that they may still be useful. Pozan gives Pilin a warning that he is demonstrating weakness, and Pilin grows quite. Pozan then faces Skinscraper, and tells him that he's demonstrated weakness against the Order of Magma, but worse off has committed treason, which the sentence to is death. Skinscraper asks to do a monologue before his death, which Pozan reluctantly agrees to. Skinscraper responds that he was wrong all along for joining the Order of Magma, and that they are fascists, and that in truth, he wasn't seeking justice for what was done to his parents, but vengeance. He apologizes to what he did, and thanks Dabsar, Chappal and Zian for letting him side with them, for however little time he managed to spend with them. Pozan then orders Azen to execute him, and she does so, striking Skinscraper down, but not before he whispers "thank you" to Dabsar, Chappal and Zian. Pozan ultimately decides to leave the three of them here, letting them rot, and leaves with Ezen in a cage alongside Baibee, Vogana, Azen and Pilin to Myrkur. Dabsar, Chappal and Zian begin falling into despair, but they are quickly found by Sven, Zoe, Mmea and Cutie in time. Cutie is able to undo the spell on them, and they are freed. They are all horrified that they failed, and that Ezen had been captured, with the way to Myrkur closed. Mmea tells them that there's another way to get to Myrkur, and that they aren't finished yet. She promises that they'll get Ezen back, stop the Order of Magma and save Lijos.

Back at the Land of Xora, Sven blames himself for the failure, as he is the leader. Cutie disagrees with him, saying it was his own fault, and explains that he was once part of the demons, and that he shouldn't have left; he should have stayed and help keep the demons from not becoming corrupt. Chappal disagrees, saying there's no way he could have known what would happen. Mmea says that some of them most defend Lijos and enter Myrkur the manual way, but some must head through the back in order to save Ezen. Dabsar, Chappal and Zian volunteer for this role, and Zoe, Sven and Guard decide to come as well. Cutie and Mmea then decide to lead the rest of the Legion of Life to Myrkur the manual way. She tells the stealth group that they must go through the Edge of Lijos, and that that is how they'll reach. She wishes them luck and they all depart.
