Roxy meanwhile appears to have fallen in love with Rudeus now, and has him promise to explore an easier labyrinth with her sometime in the future. After Roxy recovers, the party returns to the labyrinth and pushes all the way through the fifth stratum, down to the last room described in the book. As the party examines the room, Paul uses his two swords as an analogy to give Rudeus advice about having relationships with both Sylphie and Roxy, having recognized Roxy's crush on Rudeus. While figuring out how to proceed, Rudeus deduces that the room resembles those from the ruins he and Elinalise used to teleport to Begaritt and finds some secret stairs which allow them to move forward to the sixth stratum in their search for Zenith. |||||||

| Upon arriving in the sixth stratum, the party is shocked to see that the labyrinth's guardian is a hydra protecting a crystal with Zenith encased inside it. Paul goes into a berserk fury upon seeing Zenith and attacks the hydra, but it can repel magic and can instantly regenerate its heads no matter how many times Paul cuts them off. Seeing that their attacks have no effect, the party retreats back to the fifth stratum to regroup. Paul is initially angry at leaving behind Zenith again, but the party stresses that they need a plan. Roxy reveals that she read this particular hydra, a Manatite Hydra, can absorb mana so it can only be harmed by magic attacks at point blank range. Rudeus recalls the ancient Greek myths about the hydra and suggests they can counter its regeneration with fire. With a proper plan in place, the party attacks the hydra again and eventually able to kill it. However, in the course of the battle, Rudeus loses his left hand and Paul dies protecting Rudeus from one of the hydra's attacks. Disheartened at Paul's death, the party cremates his body and returns to town with an unconscious Zenith. Four days later, Zenith finally awakens from her coma, but Rudeus and Lillia are shocked to see that Zenith has apparently suffered brain damage. |||||||

Regardless, Lillia assures Rudeus that she will take care of Zenith in Paul's stead, so he should focus on his own family. The party departs from Rapan back to Rudeus' house, taking Lillia and Zenith with them. During the journey, Rudeus confesses to Roxy that he is married and isn't sure if he reciprocates her feelings, but Roxy reveals that she was previously informed by Elinalise and admits that she fell in love with him when he rescued her in the labyrinth. However, not wanting to interfere in Rudeus' marriage with Sylphie, Roxy is willing to bury her own feelings and move on with her life.
