Episode 7 of DanMachi Season 3 begins with Bell's bold but seemingly impractical decision to engage in direct combat with Dix, an opponent two levels higher than him. Although Dix is weakened by a curse, the odds are stacked against Bell. During the fight, Dix reveals his dark motivation: killing Xenos, who scream and cry like humans, brings him relief from the torment of his cursed Daedalus bloodline.
Outside Knossos, the efforts of the Ganesha Familia to capture the Xenos are thwarted by a terrifying Minotaur, leading to heavy losses, including injuries to Aisha and Asfi. Ryuu narrowly escapes death, leaving Bell without the expected reinforcements.
The situation escalates when Dix captures Wiene and chains her up, cruelly removing the stone from her head. This act triggers a painful and drastic transformation in Wiene, turning her into a fully grown Vouivre. In a berserk state, she lashes out uncontrollably, but upon hearing Bell's voice, she briefly regains her senses.
Bell's persistence against Dix grows stronger throughout the fight, and despite his physical and emotional exhaustion, he regains his strength. In a decisive moment, Lyd breaks free from Dix's control and joins Bell, allowing him to deliver a critical blow to Dix. However, Dix's actions have already set a catastrophic chain of events in motion by enabling the transformed Wiene to reach the surface of the city.
Wiene's emergence in Daedalus Street, where Hestia Familia happens to be, further intensifies the situation. Wiene's monstrous appearance, which was perceived as a threat even when she was a child, immediately provokes hostility among the citizens.
At the critical moment, Bell rushes to Wiene's aid as she is attacked by the Loki Familia. His actions, shielding Wiene from Ais and other members of Loki, put him in direct opposition to his allies and potentially jeopardize his future, that of his Familia, and his goddess.
The episode ends with Bell's situation growing increasingly precarious. With no time for explanations and under Loki Familia's strict order to eliminate Wiene, Bell finds himself in an unpredictable dilemma.
