Following their trek to the Czech forest to infiltrate and destroy a facility in Soul Eater, Vol 7, Black*Star and Tsubaki confront Mifune and Mosquito, agents of Arachnophobia. Using the infinite sword technique, Mifune is able to block all of Black*Star attacks, infuriating the DWMA student. However, this is all of the distraction Sid needed to steal Arachnophobia's demon tool before destroying the facility.

Returning to DWMA, Sid follows Shinigami's request that the demon tool be placed in the secret vault underneath the school. His decision to bury the tool instead of destroying it puzzles Sid. Is Shimigami planning on building his own demonic weapon?

Meanwhile, Medusa, who in fact managed to escape from Dr. Frankenstein, decides to confront her sister Arachnophobia in her lair. Having planted agents in her sister's organization, Medusa is playing the long game, hoping to dethrone her sister.

Students at DWMA hold a party at Death the Kid's home, but Kid himself is tasked to head to the Sahara to seize another demon tool. There he confronts witches and an agent of Arachnophobia, both intent on taking the tool for their own organization ...

The story continues in Soul Eater, Vol. 9.
