### The Men in the Kingdom Arc

*Main article: The Men in the Kingdom Arc*
During the suppression operation against Eight Fingers, Lockmeier teams up with Climb and Brain Unglaus. During the reconnaissance, he finds out that all of Six Arms are gathered at their destination. Fortunately, Sebas Tian joins them, allowing them to get inside and rescue Tuare rather than fighting. While Sebas kills four of Six Arms without injuries, Lockmeier, Climb and Brain Unglaus encounter Zero and Succulent. Lockmeier is badly wounded by Zero's attack but overcomes the crisis with the help of a healing potion. He later supports Climb to defeat Succulent.

After the appearance of Jaldabaoth, with permission from Marquis Raeven, Lockmeier volunteers to help out both Climb and Brain even though he knows that their mission is extremely dangerous. It was said that he was doing so out of respect, repaying the kindness Climb had shown as the latter had block Zero's attack on him and for healing him. Thanks to the thief's choice of routes, they had not encountered a single demon so far until meeting one and a non-demon entity.

While Lockmeier, Brain, and Climb were running down the dark and narrow alleyways to reach a warehouse comprising of humans, they happen to stumble upon the sight of Shalltear Bloodfallen standing above the rooftop. Brain successfully distracted the vampire while both Lockmeier and Climb stood back who did not bother to flee from the scene. After the three came back together and Brain states his frustration at Climb for not running away, Lockmeier steps in to intervene on their conversation, saying that he isn't at fault alone since the former didn't give them a clear explanation of what was going on.

When the three encounter a powerful demon who was heavily injured during its previous battle, Brain and Climb act as decoys against the monster while Lockmeier watch from afar, waiting to join if they are in danger. Fortunately, he returns safely after the mission.

## Quotes

* (To Climb): *"Don't worry. I'm just here to support you. Thieves fight differently from warriors — I'll show you that we don't just clash swords."*
* (To Succulent): *"Oi oi, why the fierce face? Aren't you one of the Six Arms who're supposed to be on par with adamantite-ranked adventurers? What's wrong with a little handicap?”*
* (To Brain about the vampire): *"I... I see. Cutting a fingernail off... I guess doing it with a sword is pretty impressive..."*
* (To Brain about Climb): *"How shall I put it seeing a kid like him fight so hard made me remember the days when I was still young, even if it was just for a while. I think I understand how you feel about this too. Even so it was the path he chose. We have no right to force him off it."*
