### Heroism and the Battle for Fort Stella

Makoto recognizes Hibiki, his senpai, who now appears as one of the kingdom's heroes. Together with Shiki, he decides to help rescue her but uses pseudonyms to conceal his identity. The demon leader Io confronts them and refuses to abandon Fort Stella.

Makoto intercepts Io's attack and impresses the onlookers with his strength. He orders Hibiki and her companions to retreat. Io questions Makoto's abilities and intentions, but Makoto remains resolute and focuses on his mission.

Shiki, now calling himself Larva, erects a barrier and threatens Hibiki's companions should they attempt to flee. He mocks the approaching minotaurs and centaurs, weakening them with his dark magic.

Makoto and Io engage in a fierce battle, with Makoto's skills and strength surprising Io. Despite Io's regenerative abilities and relentless attacks, Makoto stands firm. Meanwhile, Hibiki's group is trapped within Shiki's barrier and unable to assist.

In this moment of helplessness, Hibiki falls into a trance-like state and encounters a mysterious being that grants her the ability to harness the emotions of others as a source of power. Awakened with newfound strength, she breaks through Shiki's barrier and prepares to join the fight.

Io reveals the use of a powerful artifact, the Rose Sigil, which sacrifices the user's soul to grant immense power. The battle escalates as Io's strength grows. As the fight reaches its climax, Makoto orders Shiki to support Hibiki while he confronts Io.

Suddenly, Sofia appears—another powerful adversary who further complicates the situation. She attacks Makoto with a devastating strike, setting the stage for the impending showdown.
