## Plot

### Companions Arc

Once enough information was out, Iz chose to pick up a fairy as a pet. She went to the old man and started the quest, The Three Trials. The materials required to create the items for the quest were scattered throughout the seventh layer, some acquired through gathering skills and others through fighting powerful bosses. Realizing how difficult it might be, she looked to Maple for help. As Maple was stuck between her promise to Mii and her fellow guild member, Mii recognized the locations would have powerful monsters and decided to help with the material gathering. After turning the items in, Iz acquired a spirit and named it Fay.

### Eighth Event Arc

After Iz promised Maple she would be in the top ranking, she showed her true strength with Fay by her side. Because a spirit's abilities change depending on the terrain and the owner magic, Iz used countless crystal to replicated magic element attacks, changing Fay's type and skill set repeatedly. As spirits have synergy with items, they can boost their effects in many ways. Exploiting this, Iz and Fay destroyed the jungle area of the event. Even Chrome was under the impression he wouldn't survive it.
