Synopsis[]
Vandalieu hears from the goddess Warnliza that there is something inside the "Trial of Zakkart," a Dungeon that wanders around the world that will grant him his wish, and after careful preparation, he takes it on.
This Dungeon was built by the evil god Gufadgarn who once served the Champion Zakkart in order to find his successor. Vandalieu conquers the Dungeon after a series of unusual adventures, obtains the "root of life" needed to bring his mother Darcia back to life, and becomes the new master of Gufadgarn.
Meanwhile, Heinz and the others, who has misunderstood the Trial of Zakkart as a test to become Bellwood's successor, challenge another Dungeon under Alda's supervision.
