Diablo saves an unconscious Horn and sacrifices his shirt and cape to make a fire. Rem, Shera, and Lumachina get through several floors of the dungeon only to run into Gewalt, who attacks them. They are interrupted by a massive black dragon who attacks them all.
Zircon Tower City's defenders are no match for Varakness' army. Varakness attempts to force Fanis to marry him. Diablo takes offense to Varakness saying he is working for a Demon Lord, so his group, including Rose, teleport to the battle. Diablo, Shera, Rem, and Rose then battle the army while Lumachina heals the injured with Horn assisting her.
