After Oz leaves for the ceremony, Gilbert is possessed by a death god. At the ceremony, Oz takes his oath, causing the ceremonial clock which was silent for 100 years to suddenly ring and bring forth strange figures who aim to cast Oz into a place called the Abyss. The possessed Gilbert tries to kill Oz and succeeds in stabbing him. Meanwhile, the girl from Oz's vision appears in the form of the Blood-Stained Black Rabbit and fights them to save Oz from being pulled into the Abyss. Gilbert snaps out of the trance, sees an intruder's face, and uses himself as a shield to stop Oz from killing the intruder, subsequently receiving a slash across his chest. Oz is then thrown into the Abyss for the sin of existing.
