Elulu and the others are stunned that she is supposed to offer her life to become the ultimate weapon for defeating the Dragon Lord. The party reluctantly agree to go through with the ceremony, but trouble erupts when they have second thoughts.

Mash and Elulu demonstrate some new skills they picked up, and Aria is horrified to learn that Seiya is training with Mitis. Back on Gaeabrande, Rosalie has gone off to challenge the flies alone, and Seiya and company must go to her rescue.

Kilkapul summons a nightmarish reaper to eliminate Seiya and the others, and not even retreating to the Divine Realm is enough to stop its advance. After Mash and Elulu improve their skills, Rista resolves to step up her own game, as well.

Rista, Mash and Elulu enjoy their day of shopping and strolling around town, but when Seiya fails to meet up with them later, they begin to worry. When Rista turns to Ishtar for help locating Seiya, she is met with a surprising revelation.

In violation of Divine Realm law, Rista opens a portal directly to the location of the final boss fight, where Seiya and the Demon Lord are locked in mortal combat. Seiya resolves himself to make the ultimate sacrifice to defeat the Demon Lord.
