Episode Title:
The Voracious Devils
Episode Description:
Boxxo lands in the next stratum, a giant maze. Defeating the Lord has given him one million points, which he spends leveling up to a Rank 2 vending machine. He is disappointed that the coin he received is just a medal proving he killed a Lord. As a Rank 2, he unlocks a solar panel to recharge his power without spending points. Eventually, he encounters four young creatures called Bearcats; Suco, Pell, Short and Mikenne. From their conversation, Boxxo deduces they are seeking treasure in the maze since they must eat a lot to survive. Unfortunately, they do not realize Boxxo is conscious and trying to speak to them, so they plan to sell him to Chains. They are attacked by a colossal Flame Skeletitan, the maze Stratum Lord, but the Bearcats escape with Boxxo. Despite Boxxo dispensing useful items to help them, they still do not realize he is conscious. As they reach the maze exit, they encounter Lammis (who is mad at Kerioyl for abandoning Boxxo) and the Menagerie of Fools, who are thrilled they finally found Boxxo. The Bearcats ally with the hunters and are dumbfounded when Director Bear explains about Boxxo's consciousness and unique method of speaking.
