Goodreads Synopsis:

Evil creatures called Nemeses fall from the skies and the only ones who can fight them are Wizards—infected ones who survived a Nemesis's corruption. Seth, one of these survivors, vows not only to fight the Nemeses, but to find their mythical nest, Radiant, and destroy it!

Having escaped Rumble Town, Seth, Doc and Mélie are back at the Artemis Institute. With Alma’s help, Seth learns more about his mysterious brother Piodon. But as much as Seth would like to stick around and learn, the search for Radiant has already been put off for too long, so Seth and his friends head for the island continent of the Wizard Knights. There, he discovers a world that’s completely falling apart!

Review:

As this volume starts, Seth decides to go off on his own to see the wizard knights, hoping to continue his hunt for radiant. He comes upon several road blocks on his journey, though, since he's not a wizard knight and isn't allowed in the restricted areas, and he doesn't know what they're fighting at the moment.

He makes a new friend here, Ocoho, who helps him in his quest to get more information on radiant. But, at the same time, the knights are fighting a spectrum nemesis, which is suspicious, and Seth also stumbles upon its starting point. I'm curious to see what's actually behind that.

Melie also confronts him, since she thought they were friends and he left without saying anything, which I thought was very warranted.

This is a really good shonen series, and I'm really enjoying following it so far.
