In the fifth episode of "Dainanaoji" titled "The Demon is Angry," a tense confrontation unfolds as Albert declares that the battle is not over despite the monsters being defeated, pointing out that an even greater enemy, the demon Pazuzu, must be fought to prevent his regeneration. Pazuzu, who has freed himself from a centuries-old seal, is frustrated that his minions have been annihilated by the heroes. As the confrontation escalates, Albert experiences a weakening, which Pazuzu reveals to be his Miasma of Dominion, a toxic influence that subjugates anyone who inhales it.
Although Sylpha is affected by it, she resists Pazuzu's control. Tao tries to help Sylpha and urges her to flee to safety while she still can. However, Sylpha insists that Tao instead seek help from Prince Lloyd.
Lloyd arrives and demonstrates his magical prowess by stripping Pazuzu of his control over the bear-wolves. As Lloyd continues to undermine Pazuzu's influence, the demon's minions, now freed from his control, turn against him, driven by their newfound realization that Pazuzu is the murderer of their parents.
The climax of the episode showcases Lloyd's unique ability to manipulate spells and create a barrier that entraps Pazuzu, effectively neutralizing the demon's threat. Despite Pazuzu's pleas and bargaining, Lloyd remains unmoved and experiments with his spells as Pazuzu succumbs to the overwhelming magical assault.
