Jack arrives at an abandoned village where he encounters a strange Familiar, a flame demon who reveals himself to be the Crimson Devil's servant, who offers him a chance to gain great power. When Jack declares that he wants power great enough to overcome anything, the Familiar tells him to join the Crimson Devil at the shrine, and places Jack under a trance. Meanwhile, Greiger comes to a conclusion that the actions of him and Max were those of the Crimson Devil. Jack, seemingly in a trance, goes into a temple that Greiger had built, leading him to where the Familiar challenges him to a duel. Yusei and company try to follow but are stopped from interfering by the Familiar, who reveals that if Jack loses, his body will become a host to the Crimson Devil, and cuts them off from Jack by creating a very narrow platform, and seals off the only exit. The Familiar announces that he, Greiger, and Max will all become sacrifices to the Crimson Devil. Jack struggles against the Familiar's Abyss deck, which punishes power play and inflicts damage to Jack each time he tries to attack. It is soon revealed that the Crimson Devil is actually an Earthbound Immortal known as Scar-Red Nova, which was so fierce that even the Dark Signers didn't dare to resurrect it. Then, a geoglyph in the shape of a serpent forms on the surface and also in the sky, which traps Greiger's younger sister, Anna, in the process.
