Hiling and her band of knights face intense opposition from the forces under the command of the Magic Mirror. When the fighting takes a desperate turn, Apeas's loyalties are tested. In the castle town, Ouken launches his own independent attack.

Bojji and Kage run into Apeas, who tells them about Miranjo's dream. Domas and Hokuro finally reach the entrance to the underworld they were ordered to destroy. The Magic Mirror calls out to Ouken, who escapes Despa's custody to come to her aid.

Bosse tells Bebin the story of when he found the disfigured Miranjo, until Bebin is called away. As Bojji and Despa look on, Kage is faced with a life-or-death decision, and finds help from an unexpected source. The Big Four step forward to face Ouken.

Daida acknowledges and accepts Miranjo's crimes, then forgives her. As part of his atonement, Daida relinquishes the throne to Bojji. However, Kage feels out of place with his friend's new position of distinction, and leaves Bojji to reign on his own.
