## Overview

Mustering what little strength he has left under the Faudo curse, Alishie stands up to Zaruchim and vows to help his allies to the best of his ability. Kiyomaro, Gash, and their other remaining allies however find themselves unable to fight back against Wonrei, who is determined to capture the group in order to save Lien’s life.

## Plot

Despite being physically weakened from enduring Riou’s curse, Alishie forces himself to stand up to Zaruchim and vows to help his allies in any way he can. Zaruchim nearly captures the entire group once again using *Orushido Sharon*, but Riya evades the spell just in time. Alishie casts *Ganzu Niosen* to free everyone before attempting to read his strongest spell but nearly collapses from exhaustion again from doing so. Taking over for Alishie, Kiyomaro and Gash attempt to attack Zaruchim using *Zakeruga* but become shocked when they see Wonrei protect Zaruchim from the spell using his own body. Wonrei then charges toward the pair as he is determined to capture them in order to save Lien’s life. Kiyomaro tries to cast *Rauzaruku*, but sees that he entirely out of heart power to do so, which leads to Sunbeam and Umagon stepping in for them. After *Dioemuru Shudoruku* was cast, Umagon is ordered to use his flames against Wonrei but Umagon hesitates to fight back against his friend. This ultimately causes Umagon to be open to an attack as Wonrei is unwilling to back down until he captures Kiyomaro and Gash.

With Umagon down, Wonrei continues to run towards Gash and Kiyomaro, still forcing himself to fight against his friends. While Gash and Kiyomaro hesitate, Riya jumps in to fend off Wonrei using *Gou Amuruku*. Kiyomaro tries to reason with Wonrei telling him that they’re looking for a way to return Faudo to the Demon World and they’re just as determined as he is to save Lien’s life and pleads to him that he shouldn’t capture them. In order to force Wonrei to keep fighting for them, Zaruchim reminds him that if they don’t break Faudo’s seal with Gash and Kiyomaro’s power, Lien will die from the curse. With Lien’s well-being as his top priority, Wonrei ultimately chooses to continue fighting alongside Zaruchim in order to protect Lien. Eager to put an end to the battle, Zaruchim uses *Shidona Sorudo* to summon a large shadow weapon from his hand and swings down toward the group. Alishie luckily manages to protect everyone just in time by casting *Rājia Shirunio*, a spell that turns Riya into a large shield. While Riya holds off Zaruchim’s attack, Alishie informs Kiyomaro of a hole in the ground just behind them that Kiyomaro and the others can escape into while he and Riya protect them from Zaruchim and Wonrei. Alishie urges them to continue searching through Faudo to find the device that will allow them to send it back to the Demon World and assures them that he and the others that were captured will be okay as none of their spell books had been burnt. After some hesitation, Kiyomaro, Gash, and their remaining allies quietly escape, leaving Alishie and Riya to hold off against Zaruchim and Wonrei in order to buy them some time.

As Wonrei attacks Riya, Wonrei desperately urges Riya to move and tells him that both Lien and Alishie will die from the curse if they cannot revive Faudo. Riya however remains adamant about not moving as the revival of Faudo would mean the destruction of the world and that Alishie is aware of this too. It is then revealed that while Alishie comes from a poor village, he was part of a loving and happy family and always endured great hardships in order to ensure their happiness. As the battle goes on, Alishie begins to grow even weaker from the curse and feels that he’s about to fall into unconsciousness again. Before this happens, his spell book glows bright one last time and he screams out to each of his allies that escaped by their names and entrusts to them that they’ll be able to carry on his desire to protect the world. When Alishie finally falls and Riya returns to his normal form, Wonrei and Zaruchim find out that everyone else had escaped into Faudo’s blood vessel passageways. From the perspective of Kiyomaro’s group, they’re all seen riding on Umagon deeper into Faudo all while thinking of Alishie’s final cry that somehow reached them all. With Alishie’s bravery in mind, the remaining teams become more determined than ever to find a way to return Faudo to the Demon World and save their friends.
