Episode 6

"Rock Golems, a Chief, Skeletons, and Fairies" (Rokku Gōremu to, Tōmoku to, Gaikotsu to, Yōsei) is the 6th episode of In the Land of Leadale anime series.

Synopsis
Caerina and the other knights struggle against a horde of rock golems who attacked them. Things start to look grim but then Cayna blasts the rock golems with lightning! Caerina thanks Cayna for saving them, but she can't help but feel a bit of fear and jealousy at just how powerful Cayna is. Meanwhile, Cayna realizes that there are other players left in the world of Leadale after the battle with the rock golems.

Summary
Cayna praises Caerina's skills, but then handily defeats the attacking golems with her magic skills: Zamzer Blade & Zan Ga Boa. Once the golems are defeated, the injured soldiers that were healed by Cayna come from the fort to learn what had happened. Caerina thanks Cayna for saving everyone and then apologizes for her incompetence. On the other hand, Cayna again praises Caerina and advises her that using her sword as a medium to cast a fireball spell is too cumbersome and used too much of her MP. Looking over the horizon as the sun sets, Cayna suggests that Caerina and her soldiers pick up the Golem loot and look after her belongings as she heads out to the Crescent Moon Castle.

That night in an open field, Cayna contemplates over the levels of the golems and learns from Kee that eight of the golems levels were 43 and one was level 172. Suspecting that there's a player in that world, Kee tells Cayna that the culprit is likely a demi-human and Cayna believes the player to be a seasoned player at that. In Kee's opinion, they estimate the player is level 430, to which, Cayna hopes to soon meet with them.

Arriving at Crescent Moon Castle the following morning, Cayna briskly overwhelms a gang of bandits with her Summoning Magic: Brown Dragons. The Bandit Leader Luvrogue a demon then appears and Kee's assumption of the leader's level was accurate after Cayna appraises the boss to learn his name and level. Also, Cayna recognizes the armor and realizes it has the skill to completely nullify magic. Both Cayna and Luvrogue then get into a moral debate of the game world. Seeing that there's no reasoning with Luvrogue, Cayna summons a staff and switches her active skills over to combat the bandit. After defeating, Luvrogue who is indeed another Leadale player and a child at that, who uses the absence of the game administrators to wreak havoc at his whim. The moment when Cayna was about to "finish off" Luvrogue, Caerina stops her by shooting an arrow at her, which Cayna dodges.

After de-summoning her Brown Dragons, she demands to know why Caerina stopped her from finishing off Luvrogue. Caerina then asks her grandmother to allow her and her knights to detain Luvrogue and stand trial at Helshper. Despite Cayna's objections, she allows Caerina to detain Luvrogue, but places a Punishment Bracer around his neck to lower his stats by 90%. Realizing that Cayna is a limit breaker, Cayna is happy that Luvrogue understands the difference in power between them. She also warns Caerina that there could be another player out there that can remove that collar that she placed on the bandit. Furthermore, Cayna warns that she doesn't have a clue of what items Luvrogue has in his item box and that they should be wary of that as well. Adhering to Cayna's advice, Caerina and her knights take the restrained Luvrogue out of the place. Confirming that the castle is indeed a Guardian Tower, Cayna makes her way to the castle.

Inside the dilapidated castle, Cayna finds a single skull with a crown placed upon the throne. Cayna gives the skull some of her MP, but it does nothing, therefore, she gives the Throne some of her MP, which revives its skeletal guardian. From the pompous skeletal guardian, Cayna learns that this Guardian Tower belonged to Opus a fellow Skill Master and her former mentor to the game. Giving the crestfallen Cayna the Tower's key ring and a book, the guardian explains that her former master expected her to arrive there. Upon opening the book, Cayna is surprised by what's inside of it. Inside of the book, was a mute fairy familiar that only she could see. Before leaving, Cayna says that the guardian can contact her whenever her MP is low, to which, the guardian as haughty as ever agrees to the offer. Afterward, Cayna returns to her grandson's place the Sakai, she's thanked by her grandchildren for capturing Luvrogue. Caerina notes that they followed Cayna's advice and locked him away in the deepest and most secure dungeon there is. Cayna then receives a huge monetary reward from her grandchildren for clearing the bandit threat and it's revealed that her name wasn't revealed so she can maintain her anonymity. She then asks Caerina where she learned the fireball sword skill, which she claims she tried to mimic from another person she saw use it. Believing that the person was likely another player, Cayna reveals the skill's name and what kind of weapon is needed to use it. Wanting to learn it from her grandmother, Cayna declines, noting that Caerina needs to pass the tower trials to acquire the skill. Figuring the tower was the Crescent Moon Castle, Cayna vehemently admonishes Caerina from stepping foot into that castle. Caerick then thanks Cayna for everything that she's done and before returning to Felskelio, Cayna reveals that she can instantly teleport to the place now that she has it registered. But also that once she returns to Felskelio, Mai-Mai is in for a big surprise.
