Leohart!
No...
I can't believe it!
The vice-general Balflear has forfeited the sixth match!
It's their victory by default!
However! Worry not!
Because—!
We have His Majesty, Leohart with us!
Leohart!
Leohart's...
But Basara-sama still isn't...
Don't worry. Basara will return.
I'm sure he'll be back.
"Beyond the Endless Dream"
Jin Toujou's son isn't showing up, huh?
Still, I couldn't ask for a better opponent.
I'll defeat him with my own hands.
I'll cut down these ghosts of the past,
and show the entire demon realm who's truly fit to be their Demon Lord.
I'll win this battle, no matter what. Then...
How is he able to enter Xamdu?
Don't panic.
Oh?!
He probably broke the barrier, using that elimination technique of his.
All right!
The moment is finally here!
Our Great Majesty, the Demon Lord, is here to unite the demon realm!
He's going to show these foolish upstarts true fear and despair
before sending them to depths of hell!
Get lost.
Let's start this.
Yeah.
You're not going to watch while your son's fighting?
Watching it isn't going to change the outcome, is it?
What's with that?
Do you think he can beat His Majesty or something?
Well, as his father, I want to believe in my adorable son's victory.
But the chances of Basara winning are 20% at best.
This smell...
Amazing! Amazing!
But, on the other hand, that's all he has.
Banishing Shift always creates an opening.
Against Leohart, that brief opening could turn fatal.
Basara-sama wants to use Banishing Shift, but can't.
N-No way...
Don't worry. Basara won't lose.
Hmph, I see...
He's using the perfume to create those afterimages.
But each blow's too light.
Are you hiding something up your sleeve, Basacchi?
A technique that uses the dimensional distortion upon your sword-draw, huh?
It's not a bad idea, but by its nature,
I can always see when you're about to use it.
It was a mistake to let Gald see it.
Basara-sama's movements are...
It's like he's covering something.
No way!
Basara!
I won't let you go!
Howl! Loki!
Farewell, son of the war god.
It's true this could unleash the demon power hidden within you, Basara-kun.
It could unleash your other mother's blood.
But,
I don't know what will happen from it.
I know.
But this is the only option I have.
So, please.
Even
if I stop being myself,
I'll...
I'll protect everyone!
Basara!
Next it's your turn, councilmen.
That's the Demon Lord's...
You mean he didn't break through this barrier, he—?!
So this was his trump card?!
That fearsome power is destroying his own flesh, too.
At this rate, his body won't hold out!
No way!
Basara!
No! Basara!
Mio-sama!
You mustn't!
Take care of Basara.
Basara!
Huh?
Now I'm at school?
Why?
Oh, no!
Huh?
Mio-sama!
Why, you!
This is our city.
I see.
This is the inside of Basara's mind.
The rampant power is trying to devour Basara's soul, too!
I can't allow that to happen, no matter what!
Basara, where are you?
Basara!
Basara?
Where are you, Basara?
There!
Beat it!
Basara!
Basara, where are you?!
The power sleeping within you will be mine this time!
Why, you!
Basara!
You...!
Basara!
Basara...
Basara!
Basara...
Mio...
I'm sorry for forcing you to push yourself to this point.
Onii-chan!
It's fine.
Do what you want to me.
So please, come back to me.
I love you, Onii-chan.
Mio...
Basara...
Mio, I'm sorry
for making you put yourself in such danger.
It's fine.
After all, you told me to believe in you, no matter what happened.
Basara-sama, thank goodness!
Thank you, Mio.
What?!
What's the meaning of this?!
Lord Belphegor is—!
Stay calm!
We still have the ultimate trump card.
Awaken, King of Heroic Spirits.
Th-That's...
What is that?
A-A heroic spirit?
The demon, Chaos.
"Chaos"?
I've heard of him in legends.
He's the supreme being that reigns over all heroic spirits,
the demon known as the flames of purgatory.
He should be satisfied with the son of that war god, the reigning Demon Lord,
and the former Demon Lord's daughter as the sacrifices put before him.
Eat to your heart's content, Chaos.
Basara-sama!
You cleared them away already?
Now the demon realm will be completely ours.
You think so?
There's still Ramsus and other sores left around.
Have you forgotten?
The demon Chaos is the King of Heroic Spirits.
He can command numerous heroic spirits.
With his power in our hands,
it will be easy for us to exterminate any lingering enemies.
We have an emergency.
What is it?
Chaos won't stop summoning heroic spirits.
What's that?
If we continue to keep Chaos active,
the entire demon realm will be burnt to the ground.
So what?
Huh?
It's a good test of ability in preparation for our coming war against gods, isn't it?
Indeed.
So long as we remain safe,
we can rebuild the demon realm as many times as needed.
I see. It's an honorable sacrifice.
What? Please reconsider this! Please!
That reminds me. We haven't seen the Viscount in a while.
Admirath left to take care of some final loose ends.
He's hopeless.
Oh? So he countered the explosion with that elimination technique of his.
However, how long can he last with those injuries?
This way!
What on earth?
I'm worried about Ramsus-sama, as well.
I'll go check on him.
There's no need.
You're all going to die here, after all.
