The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System is back with Episode 11 this week, and the story is about to hit a major turning point. Titled “Inescapable Past,” the new episode picks up right after Elymas and Ruche finally got their hands on the skill book they worked so hard to earn. But their celebration is about to be cut short. Elymas’s father, Aizas Edvaughn, has heard about his exiled son’s growing reputation, and he is heading to the adventurer’s guild with someone dangerous in tow.
What Happened in Episode 10
Episode 10, titled “Negotiation,” wrapped up the dungeon arc. Elymas and Ruche survived the Dreamlord boss fight and walked away with a massive gold reward. Their efforts also earned them an instant promotion to Rank D adventurers. The two then returned to the shady shop called Yabureta Madoshodo to finally buy the skill book Elymas had been eyeing for several episodes. After a tense negotiation with the shop owner, they secured the book. The episode ended with Elymas ready to add the new skill to his tree, setting the stage for a major power boost.
Episode 11 Story Details
The preview for Episode 11 reveals that Elymas immediately adds the skill book to his skill tree after getting it. That is when things take a sharp turn. His father, Aizas, arrives at the adventurer’s guild after hearing rumors about Elymas’s achievements. He is not alone. A character named Malis comes with him. Malis is described as someone who holds a twisted obsession with Elymas. Their arrival means Elymas will have to face his painful past head-on, something he has been avoiding since he was exiled from the Edvaughn family.
