In "Helck" Episode 3, titled "The Unknown Enemy," Asuta begins in the world of humans, admiring their peace compared to the devastated, invisibly poisoned regions of the empire. She mentions the barriers erected around castles and cities to protect against this poison and expresses her envy of the less dangerous lives of humans.
At the same time, the disguised Anne—or rather, Vermilio—and the tournament finalists battle beetle-like monsters. Although Dorshe promises to set up a protective barrier, he fails to do so in time. This prompts Anne to obliterate the monsters with her fire powers. After the group retreats to a place shielded by the barrier, a revealing moment occurs: everyone is exhausted, except for Helck, who mysteriously emerges unscathed from the ordeal.
Meanwhile, Asuta travels resolutely to the capital. Inspired by Vermilio's example, she is determined to do her best.
Back at the resting spot, Hyura Kenro shares her suspicion with the others that Anne is Vermilio in disguise, keeping an eye on Helck. When Anne overhears this conversation, she denies the claim and asks to be treated equally. During the break, Helck prepares a meal, causing a bit of a stir when Anne initially refuses to eat his eggplant-filled dish but ends up liking it.
Finally, the group arrives at Urum Castle and encounters the winged knights and their leader. The ensuing battle ends with an injury: Hyura loses her arm, leaving the rest of the group and the spectators in suspense about what comes next.
