In this episode, the narrative begins with Ashgan's immediate desire to rescue Helga, which is thwarted by Guideau's inability to fly. Therefore, Guideau decides to prioritize the search for Ashaf. Ashaf is found half-frozen but alive. He quickly frees himself and begins healing Cugat, recognizing his potential as a powerful ally.

Ashaf reveals that he noticed Cugat's hesitation in the last battle, hinting that an elemental is a terrifying opponent. Cugat admits that he is unsure whether his comrade can be controlled from the outside. In response, Guideau informs him about the recent events in the tower.

The group considers hiding the sword but realizes that the sword's allure makes this impossible, leaving them no choice but to prepare for battle despite their weakened state. At this moment, the Executioner appears, accompanied by officers and Helga.

The Executioner reveals that he uses the demonic hand Ishlingen, a powerful tool made from the skins of seventeen kings and a mystical ring, which allows him to manipulate others. He demonstrates this power by forcing three officers to take their own lives, though he admits he cannot influence the witch.

An unexpected twist occurs when Helga summons her swords to attack the Executioner, briefly giving her a chance to escape. Instead, however, she unexpectedly turns against Guideau, leading to a chaotic confrontation involving all parties.

Amid the confusion, the Executioner uncovers his deception: Helga is under his control. At his command, she retrieves the demonic sword and hands it to him. Despite Cugat's pleas, the Executioner unsheathes the sword, revealing its true form as a monstrous entity that seems invincible even to his powers.

The following segment sheds light on Helga's tragic past: she was the sole survivor of the Executioner's attack on her family, became the guardian of the demonic sword, and swore revenge, though she had relinquished its power.

The unleashed sword demonstrates its destructive power by slicing through structures and revealing its monstrous form. The Executioner's attempts to control the sword fail due to its chaotic nature.

As the city is exposed to the sword's wrath and Cugat's struggles become visible, Helga's despair becomes palpable. Her failure to protect the sword and her personal regrets are underscored by her unfulfilled wish for a first kiss.

The episode ends with Guideau fulfilling Helga's wish for a kiss, against the ominous backdrop of an opening coffin, hinting at further developments.
