As Yuki fends off any enemy approaching the core, Basara, Mio, and Zest soon fight against a horde of Zest's clones. The group arrives at the core and Zest offers herself as bait for Basara to kill the beast, but Basara protects Zest and kills the beast. As the girls recover, Basara witnesses Yahiro/Lars killing Zolgia. Back at their home, Zest pledges her loyalty to Basara. In a moment of passion, Basara reacts to the thought of someone else potentially stealing Mio's virginity. Basara and Mio kiss and just as they are getting closer to having sex Basara stops mid-way, apologizing for forcing himself onto Mio. As Basara and Mio are about to kiss once again, Yuki kisses Basara, accompanied by Zest. As Mio and Yuki argue over Basara, the latter runs to Maria and asks her to help him appease the two. However, Maria lunges at Basara and kisses him, much to Mio and Yuki's dismay. Shella and Zest are put under the care of the demons from the moderate-faction. Meanwhile, word of Zolgia's death eventually reaches Demon Lord Leohart as he faces Jin in his throne room.
