SUMMARY :
The remaining residents of Rhyll are not pleased to see the man they think murdered most of their families. They prepare to crucity the Hellspawn, when suddenly another victim of the Beast of the Wood is found. This victim has been killed while Covenant was held captive. The people of Rhyll agree it was not the Hellspawn who killed their families. At the same time, Gareth meets with Makus, an Inceni, who shows him the place that has been prepared for strong the Necroplasm. Back in Rhyll, little Alex gives Covenant his freedom, leaving the people of Rhyll to battle the Beast by themselves. Spawn searches for Cogliostro to get answers, but Cogliostro has no use for a mortal, and washes his hands of the Hellspawn.

SPAWN DARK AGES 17 SUMMARY
Covenant awakens as a man, not realizing that the dark powers that chose him as a Hellspawn will not let him break his contract with them so easily. While Gareth makes his way through the forest with the stolen Necroplasm, Covenant is driven to return to Rhyll. On the way, he encounters a band of thieves who beat the Hellspawn nearly to death. The pain and agony he suffers are a torturous new experience for the Hellspawn. Still, he pushes on to the town of Rhyll. There, he is greeted by young Alek – one of the few survivors of the destruction of the city.

Rhyllで生き残った住民は、彼らの家族のほとんどを殺害したと考えているコヴナント卿が戻ってきたのを見ても喜ばない。森のビーストによる新たな犠牲者が突然見つかったとき、彼らはヘルスポーンを十字架につける準備をしていた。この犠牲者はコヴナント卿が捕らえられている間に殺されていた。 Rhyllの人々は家族を殺したのは Hellspawnではなかったのだと知った。同じ頃に、Garethはイケニ族のMakusと出会い、強力なネクロプラズムのために準備された場所を彼に示す。Rhyllに戻ると、幼いAlexは磔にされていたコヴナント卿に自由の身とし、残されたRhyllの人々は自分たちだけでビーストと戦うことになる。スポーンは答えを得るためにコグリオストロを探す。コグリオストロはコヴナント卿が赤い血を流しているのに驚く。だが、コグリオストロが興味があるのは自分と同じヘルスポーンであって人間を必要とせず、コヴナント卿と決別する。
