The Dark Warrior Arc
Lukrut and his teammates see Momon and Nabe, who are attempting to procure a job let both teams work together. However, when Nfirea Bareare came to make a direct request of Momon. In the end, a compromise is made as Nfirea agrees to take both parties as his bodyguard.

As they travel to Carne Village, the party is attacked by a large group of goblins and ogres. A battle plan is devised quickly, with Lukrut and his teammates pick off the goblins while Momon and Nabe would eliminate the ogres. As the fight proceeds, Lukrut quickly realizes that their fellow companions are no mere adventurers. He looks upon the two with awe, comparing their strength to the heroes of legend.

The journey proceeds smoothly after the encounter, but things are amiss as Nfirea realizes Carne Village is more fortified than usual. Sensing that something is wrong, Lukrut and his teammates advance cautiously but is ambushed by a large group of goblins, stronger than before. No fight breaks out as the goblins tell them that they have no intention to start a fight. In fact, it turns out that they are protecting the village under Enri Emmot's orders. During their stay in Carne Village, he and his teammates are introduced to the Wise King of the Forest which Momon tamed.

After completing the request, Lukrut and his teammates leave with Nfirea to his house to collect the reward. However, a sinister presence is already there, waiting for them.

Lukrut along with Peter and Dyne are then turned into zombies and are later killed by Momon to free them of their fate.

Mass for the Dead Arc
A half a year after the event known as the Catastrophe that saw the emergence of the Cracks and appearance of the Chaos Beasts and Contaminated Beasts, Lukrut with his team went to collect herbs in the Great Forest of Tob. While heading to the nearby settlement of Carne Village, his team rescued a little girl named Nemu Emmot who was fleeing to get help to save the village from Chaos Beasts. The adventurers journeyed with her to the village to save what was left when they met the protagonist, Surako and Narberal Gamma. The two groups then decided to help one another and Lukrut and his team provided information on the current situation of the world. During the journey to the village, Lukrut tried to impress one of the members of the other party, Narberal Gamma, though she would ignore or belittle his attempts to woe her.

Together they managed to drive the Chaos Beasts and Contaminated Beasts off. Lukrut played a vital role in using himself as bait to draw the monsters away from the village and later giving them the slip. For that action Lukrut was finally acknowledged by Narberal much to his glee. When the members of the Sunlight Scripture led by Ian Als Heim arrived. Though the Scripture was not originally here to evacuate the villagers but on their own secret mission, Ian agreed to left some of his men to escort the villagers to safety to the city of E-Rantel. But the Scripture guides could depart, Lukrut and his friends went into the forest to search for the missing Enri Emmot, Nemu's sister, and Morgan. However it was too late for Enri as she was killed by a Quadruped Chaos Beast. The adventurers and Nazarick agents then traveled back to the village to bury her remains. Lukrut would part ways with the protagonist as he and his team would help the Scripture escort the villagers to the city. While traveling with the refugees, the convoy was attacked by a Giant Chaos Beast. Lukrut and his friends were nearly killed when the protagonist and his friends came to the rescue and managed to defeat it.

Later while resting in the Adventurer's Guild in E-Rantel, Lukrut's team discussed a rumor on the location of one of the Swords of Darkness belonging to the Black Knight. The discussion attracted the attention of Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra who wanted to seek out the sword which was suspected to be Hyumilis. Even though adamantite adventurer explained that only she could safely wield it, the Swords of Darkness joined her and Gagaran on the quest to see the legendary weapon. In the end though it turned out to be just a monster infesting a magic sword. Lukrut would again see Narberal in E-Rantel. The woman though had completely forgotten about him. Since the undercover maid was searching for information on hauntings around the vicinity of the Tob Forests, Lukrut's team provided their assistance by telling Narberal about the Harvest Festival and its significance.

Some weeks after Jaldabaoth's attack on the city, Lukrut came with the Swords of Darkness to attend a morale boosting adventurer tournament at the invitation of the protagonist. Though the ranger was happy to assist and reunite with some one old acquaintances, he was looking forward to seeing Narberal. Sadly Surako informed him that the woman could not attend the the tournament due to other obligations. Lukrut's disappointment in not seeing Narberal was soothed when he caught sight of the Soi, who his team were scheduled to fight. While ogling her, Soi made a change in the match to have the Swords of Darkness fight against her friends Shall and Ku. The sliver ranked team were defeated by the duo much to Lukrut's team's shock. Lukrut and with his team spent most of the tournament cheering on the newcomers in their matches. At the final match, to give the resident of the city a good show, the Swords of Darkness joined the other adventurers in fighting against the Dark Warrior.

During the phenomenon that caused the land around E-Rantel to be bathed in a continuous day, Lukrut was in the city with his team. At the guild he and the Sword of Darkness met up with Darkness to discuss what could be the cause of the extended day. Lukrut though lamented that the continuing day killed the mood of the evening as it killed his dream to go out on a date at night with Narberal. After Clementine came over to ask the protagonist and his team to attend a consultation meeting to address the strange event, Lukrut and his team offered to help by gathering information from the other adventurers.

Lukrut and his team saw the protagonist and Surako at the Adventurer's Guild where the establishment was busy selling chocolates and "Dark Warrior" theme dolls. There Lukrut commented the ever growing popularity of the protagonist based on the sales of the souvenirs distributed by the guild.

He and hisr team were later seen at the guild in E-Rantel, receiving their reward after a job. Included in the reward was their chocolate and souvenirs. Lukrut noted that bag to be smaller and flatter compared to last time. This was due to the dolls normally given were replaced by cards for Great Adventurers, which Lukrut found to be good as it saved space to carry. Later the archer and his team were approached by the protagonist and Surako to ask what kind of improvements could be made to the current chocolate candy. When Ninya suggested that it would be more convenient for the candies to be cut into smaller pieces as then a little could be eaten at a time, Lukrut believed that it would be nice but then the chocolates would melt more easily.

At the time when E-Rantel was facing an unprecedented crisis of several Cracks opening within its walls, Lukrut managed spot Nemu alone in the streets. Quickly eliminating the Chaos Beasts that were about to attack her, the archer took her under the protect of the Swords of Darkness. In the commotion, Lukrut spotted Yuri Alpha distantly on a street and mused that she looked similar to Narberal but was ignored by his comrades who were busy fighting for their lives. The adventurers took arms to defend the city and even though the odds were stacked against them they maintained hope that the protagonist would come through for them. However the team was met by a wave of invisible attacks from an unknown enemy that picked them off one by one causing them to vanish into thin air, the first being Lukrut.

After the protagonist return from the Chaos Zone, it is presumed that Lukrut was transported there along with the other victims and incapacitated in the alien realm. Alas only Ninya was able to escape such a fate; believing her comrades to be gone Ninya contemplated on quitting as an adventurer. After the protagonist met and offered some words of encouragement, Ninya joked that while Lukrut would have appreciated those words, he most certainly would have enjoyed being praised by Narberal.

During expedition of the Four Kingdoms Rescue Team into the "other side" to rescue those who were originally presumed dead, Ninya participated and used the spare adaptive equipment to revive her teammates. Lukrut was the last of the group to regain consciousness and though he was confused by his surroundings and the presence of so many famous warriors around him, the archer was quick minded enough to know that they were in a serious situation. Lukrut contributed to the rescue operation of a hundred people, acting as a scout for the army. Upon seeing a horde of giant sized specialized Chaos Beasts, he rushed back to the army's camp to warn them of the danger.

Later the rescue team rushed back to E-Rantel after receiving word from the Sorcerer Kingdom that enormous amounts of miasma were spilling in from Cracks in every major city in the Tripartite Alliance. Since their unit was the only military force in the area, the joint international force hurried to the alliance's capital to save what they could. Upon reaching the walls of the city, Lukrut was horrified to see hordes of feral looking humans and demi-humans affected by the noxious gas.
