## Summary

### Day 84: October 17, 2033

07 confronts Yusuke, questioning his name before expressing an intent to kill him. As 07 attacks, Yusuke skillfully dodges and injures 07's legs. Despite Yusuke's mocking, the situation turns as Yusuke's sword transforms, emitting white sparks and auras, signaling the unleashing of a powerful spellbind called the slasher.

Mark is cleaning the bathroom when Irene urgently interrupts, revealing that a war is underway and they need his help. Mark, realizing he forgot about Jun's plans, hastily prepares for battle by grabbing weapons and armor. Irene waits inside, visibly distressed.

Yusuke unexpectedly unveils a powerful technique called the slasher. Max questions how Yusuke acquired the ability, traditionally associated with Jun. In a swift confrontation, Yusuke overpowers Max, 07, and Nugget. Despite their attempts to fight back, Yusuke demonstrates his formidable skills and threatens to kill them all. As he prepares a lethal attack, Max valiantly sacrifices himself to save 07, taking a fatal blow from Yusuke's slasher to his neck down to his stomach as it slices open. The group is left in shock, with 07 mourning Max's selfless act. Nugget solemnly acknowledges Max's sacrifice for 07's life.

Determined not to let Max's sacrifice be in vain, Nugget and 07 rally together to confront Yusuke. Despite Yusuke's disbelief, 07 and Nugget skillfully evade his attacks. In a surprising turn, Nugget kicks Yusuke, sending him crashing into a house wall. Seizing the opportunity, 07 declares the decisive moment, vowing that Yusuke will meet his end. In a final clash, 07 successfully beheads Yusuke.

The Izuzunian members unexpectedly reappear, shocking Moises, who assumes they have perished. However, 07 holds Yusuke's head, revealing their victory over him. Moises panics and attempts to escape, but the Izuzunians give chase. Xuanyu confronts Jun, stating he is under arrest as an act to trick Moises. Moises expresses remorse for the apparent loss of his allies. Meanwhile, Jun and Xuanyu discuss the failed plan and the destruction caused by the war. Edison suggests sticking to the original plan, while Jun decides to wait for Irene to retrieve Mark and informs Edison to do the same. However, Evelyn, feeling betrayed, attacks Jun by stabbing his stomach through an armor opening. Evelyn is stopped by Xuanyu as she is about to aim for the head. Edison explains the plan to Evelyn, revealing Jun's intentions and apologizing for not informing her earlier. Evelyn, remorseful, tries to make amends by assisting Jun with his wounds. The group splits with Jun and Edison heading to the swamp after Moises, while Xuanyu and Evelyn wait for Mark's arrival through a portal. Jun, determined, declares that the battle isn't over until Moises is dead, hinting at a forthcoming confrontation.
