Synopsis
Roku is talking to herself in the bathroom, as she was surprised with how kind Twenty-Fifth Baam was and since he was still a Regular they probably were close in age, no more than a couple hundred years between them. She talks herself down from any romantic ideas and reminds herself of her purpose, which is to avenge her family leader. However, if she is able to disrupt the marriage then Baam could be appointed the next leader due his power, as he is known to have taken down a Ranker. But, before she can leave The Serpent Master enters through the pipes of the toilet and it asks where Lo Po Bia Laura is. It threaten Roku with killing her if she does not provide an answer, but Roku does not know. A fight ensues, but Roku is not able to damage the serpent master with her weapon which causes her to flee, which leads to Roku being decapitated.

Lo Po Bia Lilial Zahard together with Lo Po Bia Merr and Lo Po Bia Keoyeop hears the commotion from the bathroom and runs to investigate. As they arrive, the serpent master burst through the door to the toilet with the headless body of Roku being held up high on display, to the shock of the others.

Baam is admonished by Androssi Zahard for falling in love with Lilial, as she does not believe the tournament is done due to the Lo Po Bia Family Head wanting Baam as his heir. Their discussion is ended by a knock on the door by Hemus Lime, who apologizes for having ulterior motives for participating in the Marriage Tournament, as she wants to free the guardian animal of her family. Hemus Lime reveals that she has disturbed Baam and Androssi due to her considering them being alone together as giving an unfair advantage to Androssi in the marriage tournament. Hemus Lime wants Androssi to leave Baam alone for a fairer competition, but the discussion is ended due to the commotion coming from the toilets.

Lilial attacks the serpent master, but it does nothing, which causes Lilial, Merr, and Keoyeop to flee while dodging the attacks of the serpent master. The trio is driven into the meeting room where Flipa, Hwingya Epo, and Ilnak Ropal are staying, which causes Flipa and Hwingya to escape as well, but Ilnak tries to stay behind with a Lighthouse Barrier in order to record the event at the cost of her life. Flipa and Hwingya leave with a headstart and locks the door behind them, with Flipa reinforcing the door with her special slime, which leaves Lilial, Merr, and Keoyeop on the other side. The trio tries to break down the door, but are unsuccessful, as the serpent master attacks them they dodge out of the way and it goes straight through the door, which leaves Hwingya and Flipa dead. While Baam and the others are on the way, Lilial tries to buy time by throwing Merr, sacrificing her to the serpent master to distract it. However, before Merr is killed Baam arrives to save her using Reverse-Flow Control to stop Merr and the serpent master. The serpent master recognizes Baam as the slayer candidate that kidnapped Laura and switches target.

Ren burst out from his room saying that he will blame the destruction of the door as well as the death of Twenty-Fifth Baam on the strange monster. Ren proceeds to go look for Baam, with the intentions of killing him.
