When Yaga assures him that they came to the Artemis Island to prevent the spread of a disease that turned people into monsters, Seth is relieved. The two hunters, obsessed with defeating "The Nemesis," accompany Seth in his quest to find Radiant. Their ship reaches Artemis Island, and Boudica, the fourth member of the hunt, joins them. Seth accompanies her to a cave where they discover that the island is alive. Basilisks, stone snakes with healing powers, guide them, and they find a large hall in the cave where they discuss the reason behind their trip.

Boudica confides that the Artemis Hunt only carries bullets made of Artemis' blood, and she tells Seth that the true division in that land is between the Inquisitors and the Domitors. The Artemis Island is one of the places where the Inquisitors sent their prisoners, who then created a primitive society. They entered the age of intelligence only after the arrival of the Artemis' blood using Domitors. The Domitors have advanced machines, including airships, that make them superior. The Inquisitors look up to a mythical group called the Artic Gale. The Domitors consider these stories as rubbish, but little does anyone know, The Artic Gale is real.

As Seth and the others leave the cave, they sense some danger. Yaga recognizes the smell of Amon's minions, the nemesis that Seth was once a part of.

They need to get rid of these criminals before reaching the Royal Capital. The group splits into two, and while Boudica and Doc counterattack the prisoners, Seth and Yaga sneak to the Domitors' side. They find themselves in an unusual predicament, and whilst trying to escape, they see soldiers being attacked in the streets. Seth then realizes that the prisoners have already reached the capital and are working with Aruru, the Queen.

As the episode proceeds, Seth and the gang get deeper into some major conflicts, including politics and war. With Boudica's help, they infiltrate the royal palace, only to find themselves captured. They get a first real taste of their enemy's power when they come face to face with Gil who possesses the power of nemesis from Artemis Island.
