Alka later destroys the monsters for ruining her romantic plans for Lloyd. Chrome, Riho and Selen fight Merthohan, who is turned into a locust hybrid. Lloyd arrives and while appealing to Merthohan's desire to be a true soldier, defeats him with a slap. Marie then asks him to clean the dirt from the king's body, which he does, not knowing his cleansing rune is so powerful it purges Abbadon from the king's body...
