Introductory Arc
Dred ranked second among the competitors during the 1st event.

Guild Founding Arc
Shortly after the 4th event was announced, the Congregation of the Holy Swords held a meeting to discuss the upcoming event.

Guild Competition Arc
While collecting guild orbs, Dred noticed Sally and sent his other guild members back to take the orbs they collected. Because his instincts told him she was dangerous, he wanted to eliminate her. After a short exchange, Dred trusted his intuition and quickly retreated.

After receiving Frederica's message, Dred charged into Maple Tree to take their orb. Because he underestimated Mai and Yui, his survival skill was triggered. After defeating the dangerous twins, Maple arrived home in time to prevent him from taking their orb. Dred dies while cursing Frederica's poor information.

Payne, Dred, Drag, Frederica, and 15 other members from the Congregation of the Holy Swords worked together to attack Maple Tree because they believed its members had exhausted all their powerful skills.

Dred worked together to keep the members of Maple Tree from supporting Maple. Dred's [Godspeed] was transferred to Payne for the encounter. After Maple unleashed [Atrocity], Dred was captured and accepted his fate as he closed his eyes and was defeated.

During the chaotic battle at the Kingdom of the Flame Emperor, the Congregation of the Holy Swords planned to take advantage of Maple, who had gained the aggro of players assaulting the Kingdom of the Flame Emperor. Their ambush was thwarted as Maple swiftly used [Atrocity] and was multiplied to 7 with Kanade and Sally's [Phantom World!].

Dred was friend listed by Maple after the guild competition event and attended the Maple Tree after-party.

Eighth Event Arc
Dred and Drag met up during the 8th event's preliminary round and worked as a team to increase their points. They encountered Kanade shortly after and did their best to eliminate him from the competition.

During the main event, he was seperated and paired up with Yui and Kanade. He eventually joined up with Sally and Frederica and became part of the three guild alliance.
