Octavio and his crew had found themselves at the den of Fracayus, a monster known for killing off low-level explorers. Octavio noticed Verin was laughing about something, almost as if he led them to a trap. Octavio wanted to see what was up and why he was laughing. He knew there was something peculiar about Verin wishing to come on this mission. Octavio approached Verin and requested he tell him his true intentions and what he was doing here. Verin stared snickering and replied that his real name was Verin the Conjurer and that he was the strongest person ever and could do as he pleased. Verin is indeed powerful and has been tagging along with Silver and Octavio simply as a game. Octavio, of course, replied that he was the stronger warrior and that no one could destroy him. Silver seemed to know something about Verin. As he said his true identity, Octavio noticed she appeared cold and nervous. Verin was known around the nation of Lugnica as one of the strongest there has ever been. He attended the academy and went rogue almost 500 years ago. He is single-handedly responsible for the different dungeons around Lugnica. He could Conjure any sort of monster he wanted. Verin laughed at the idea of Octavio thinking he was the strongest. To make a mockery of Octavio, he tried to cast a spell at Silver, who was aimlessly distraught at the idea of what Verin had said.

Octavio thought Verin was casting a spell onto Silver. Still, he was actually sending some sort of spell to trap Silver and Octavio with Fracayus because he was waiting for them. Verin had actually created Fracayus almost 100 years ago as a way to halt new adventurers. Burning some of his armor in the process, Octavio got in the course of the falling boulders and stopped them from hitting Silver. Octavio immediately drew his sword and removed his garment before it could burn his skin, and prepared for battle with Fracayus. While this was taking place, Verin slipped away, knowing they would have their hands full. Octavio, at first, couldn't think of a way to close the distance between him and Fracayus, who could obviously do a lot of damage at range with his ice. Octavio did not want to show the power he obtained from the flame god because he felt Silver would judge him. Eventually, Octavio thought to throw his sword with enough force at Fracayus to kill him. He did precisely that, and when the blade struck Fracayus, he fell immediately to the ground. Octavio was shocked to find his hands now producing ice. What he initially thought was he obtained a flame sword from the Fire god. But what he actually received was a sword that can store the abilities of those he slays.

He now could produce ice and the ability to steal the powers of the foes he defeats. Silver asked Octavio how he obtained this ability to use ice as she saw it coming from his hands. Octavio knew he could trust Silver and told his story of how he reached Lugnica and obtained this ability. He also told Silver of his resolve and how he planned to face Verin the Conjurer.
