In episode 2, Gus discusses the early conflicts between the gods that once spiraled out of control. He uses it as an example to teach Will an important lesson that human understanding of good and evil almost makes it impossible for them to grasp the true intentions of the gods; therefore, they must not be doubted. As time goes on, Will slowly realizes that Gus’ lessons are becoming more and more complicated and burdensome. He even feels that he wants him to fail and give up.

Meanwhile, Blood is also not showing any mercy and training the young boy in combat as much as possible. When one ordinary day, he realizes that Will is getting a bit overconfident in his abilities, he takes his pupil to the long-abandoned town of humans and dwarfs. They then go to the underground passages used previously by the people of the town but have now since become an ideal hiding place for the undead. Blood suddenly challenges his pupil to survive in the dark and dangerous place and just disappears.

While Will fights off some of the undead easily, he is surprised to see Gus staring at him. The undead suddenly attacks his own pupil and fights back, only to give up at one point and ask for his death. Gus can’t control his laugh anymore and reveals that it has all been a part of the test they are taking. The undead later teaches him other lessons, but when Gus is alone with him again, he asks Will to lose the one-on-one duel with Blood that will happen just before he turns fifteen. In episode 4, the protagonist’s growing differences with Gus will be further explored, and we can expect an apology from the master to his pupil after the unexpected altercation they had in episode 3.
