The three companions journey onwards. We follow Hermit's instructions and reach the next town where they meet a girl, Bird, wandering around at night time. Sensei wonders what she is doing roaming the streets in the middle of the night. Bird greets them and volunteers to show them around town. Sensei becomes very suspicious of her behaviour however May insists that Bird is simply being "friendly". Bird then takes them to a deserted area of the town where she suddenly turns hostile and attacks. Bird is fought and
We become aware of the gang Hermit mentioned. We learn that Bird is one of the members of the gang. As I becomes stronger and stronger by fighting the tournament fighters and completing challenges in the town, I take down the gang members one by one. Each gang member reveals a bit of information about themselves and their relationship with Butcher. They reveal that some members were raised by Butcher from childhood. They also say that one of the members was apparently saved as an orphan by Butcher. They also reveal that Butcher is a murderer and that in fact he was the one responsible for the the murder of the orphan's parents. He then seemingly rescued the orphan and trained him to be one of his own servants.
Sensei is disgusted and says that Butcher's group was much worse-it was not a gang but basically a private army. And then I face Butcher. Butcher gloats that he made the gang members strong by sharing his teachings with them. He reveals his beliefs that the gift of violence is the key to strength, and that is why he has taught his gang members that way. The fight begins. When I prove to be a tough adversary Butcher unleashes his stronger attacks such as his shockwave-generating ground slam and advanced magic spells. However, ultimately, Butcher too is defeated.
I collect Butcher's seal. The three companions are then forced to continue on their journey. Our path leads across water for which they require a boat. May recalls that Sly had said he had a boat waiting for him in the harbor earlier, and suggests that they should hurry and catch him before he leaves.
