After the preceding events, Helck, despite his severe injuries, is firmly determined to save his friends. The episode begins with Helck refusing to succumb to despair, even when he learns that his friends face execution. The mercenaries who once fought by Helck's side now find themselves at the mercy of the kingdom's soldiers' wrath, but they are resolved to protect Helck and each other.

As Helck's allies engage in a fierce battle with the kingdom's troops, Zeruzeon devises a plan to act as a decoy and allow the others to escape. He earnestly begs them to apologize to Helck when he regains consciousness. Meanwhile, Helck, driven by an indomitable spirit, fights against the bounty hunters and soldiers, demonstrating his incredible strength and resilience.

The scene shifts to Alicia, a member of Helck's team, who is about to be publicly executed. The crowd screams for her blood, but the executioner hesitates because he senses an overwhelming presence. It is Helck, arriving just in time. His aura is so powerful that it paralyzes everyone around him. He confronts the nobles, holds them accountable for their actions, and in a dramatic turn, saves Alicia from her fate.

Helck's reunion with Alicia is bittersweet, as he apologizes for not arriving sooner. They plan to escape to the realm of demons, hoping to find refuge and perhaps a more welcoming society than they have known so far. However, their plans are thwarted by the Great Sage Mikaros, who reveals that the kingdom's plan to awaken is still in effect and that a spell has been cast to force the population's Awakening.

As the spell takes effect, Alicia succumbs to the Awakening and pleads with Helck to end her life before she loses her humanity. But Helck refuses to give up on her and vows to fight against the Awakening and save everyone. In a poignant moment, Alicia asks Helck to remember her smile, even if she becomes an enemy.

The episode ends with Helck's promise to Alicia and his unshakable resolve. He prepares to confront the kingdom's forces and the four elite lords, setting the stage for an epic battle.
