Basara's childhood friend Nonaka Yuuki warns him not to get involved with Naruse Mio any longer. She is a fellow member of the hero clan, and the one charged with observing Mio. She claims that Mio will bring great disaster, but Basara proclaims that he will protect Mio as a girl on his own.

Basara leads Mio to higher peaks as he pursues pleasure with the use of syrup. With their master-servant pact reaching a new level, they both bring their full might to face the ones trying to eliminate Mio: Takashi and Kurumi.

After taking Kurumi hostage, Ornis robs Basara of the right arm wielding Bynhildr. Though he lost conciousness from the pain, his sealed power unleashes and goes on a rampage. Their positions are reversed as he corners Ornis with his overwhelming power. However, the moment he tries to silence Ornis for good, a golden chain appears and binds him. When Ornis turns around, he finds Hasegawa Chisato. What secrets has she kept hidden?

The group battle between Leohart and Ramsus's forces finally begins. After Mio wins the first match, Maria enters the arena for the next round. Her opponent is Lars. Maria uses her enormous power to face him in close combat, but she fails to overcome the gap in experience and magic power, and gets driven into a corner by Lars' clever attackes. What does Maria pull out in hopes of overturning the battle...? Meanwhile, the demons lay a cowardly trap for Kurumi.
