In the abyss Hajime starts to break due to intense hunger and begins to hunt the extremely strong wolves by using traps. Upon eating one, the cells of the monster change his DNA, and only the constant healing from the Ambrosia saves him. His body transforms, becoming much stronger due to the constant tearing apart of his muscles from the symbiosis of his and the monsters DNA and the healing of the Ambrosia. After his transformation, he hunts further monsters, eating them to raise his levels and gain their physical and magical abilities.

Myu wears Yue's, Yue wears Tio's, Tio wears Myu's, Shea wears Kaori's, and Kaori wears Shea's. Hajime is impressed, but Kaori is embarrassed by Shea's revealing outfit.
