Synopsis:
Travis Morgan, now known as the Warlord, leads his army against the city of Thera where Deimos has taken Tara. Using the recently acquired Scrolls of Blood, Deimos summons a demon to help defend his temple. The demon grabs Morgan, who realizes that it is controlled by Deimos. The Warlord uses his gun to shoot the globe the sorcerer is using which causes the demon to disappear.

Morgan's army captures the city. Inside the temple, Morgan frees Tara. He then fights Deimos one-on-one in a sword fight. Morgan succeeds in killing Deimos. He then addresses his troops and pledges to continue the fight for freedom. Morgan also wants to investigate the mystery of Skartaris which grows deeper as the Scrolls of Blood are revealed to be technical manuals for advanced technology labeled B-100-D.
