The episode begins with Ragna, accompanied by Slime, Chimera, and Crimson, exiting a healing device on a lunar base. Crimson discusses Starlia's death, the battle against Lese, and his new strategic plan focusing on Ragna's strengths, suggesting they wait three years until the Globe Chamber is restored before taking action against Ultimatia. Despite Ragna's insistence on immediate action and his belief in Starlia's survival against Crimson's doubts, Crimson outlines his plan to form a dragon-slaying unit led by himself, emphasizing Ragna's role as a supplier and reminding him of his oath to fight dragons, not specifically to save Starlia.

Crimson considers Ragna's determination to be luck, prompting Ragna to reflect on his true motive for fighting: the desire for a peaceful life with his friends. As he rejects Crimson's leadership, Ragna is stopped by Golem, who warns him against revealing Starlia's status to the Argentum Corps, risking their destruction in Lese. Ignoring the warning, Ragna's departure is halted by a poison Crimson had previously administered as a loyalty measure. As Ragna resists the poison, a confrontation ensues, revealing Crimson's ruthless ambitions.

Ragna reunites with the Argentum Corps, and together they believe in Starlia's survival. The narrative shifts to Ultimatia and Elder, who discuss the powers of the Argentum and Ragna, with Ultimatia praying for divine communication and Elder overseeing Nebulim's project to create eternal night.

Kamui reflects on his past and attempts to defeat Ragna to attain transcendent power. Meanwhile, the Argentum Corps negotiates with Carula for magical support in the battle against Ultimatia, with Carula demanding various assurances for her cooperation. Crimson, affected by Ragna's defiance, considers Borgius' possible sacrifice and plans to deploy Ragna and the Corps against Ultimatia.
