In the Demon Realm, Ariel prepares to attack the Elf Village. Meanwhile, Shun's party camps out whilst traversing the labyrinth. Unable to sleep, Shun is told by Basgath about how he once encountered Nameless, who is now known as the "Nightmare of the Labyrinth". Finding themselves at a crossroads, with time being of the essence, the group opts to follow a short but dangerous route through the Nightmare's former home. This leads to them being attacked by an earth dragon but they are able to beat it. However, they are then confronted by a swarm of "Nightmare's vestiges", spider-type monsters said to be the Nighmare's offspring. Strangely, though, upon realizing Shun and co. are reincarnations, the creatures let them pass. The group then finally exists the labyrinth by flying through an opening on the back of Fei's dragon form. In the past, Nameless is revealed to have survived through her
but ponders that she must tread carefully as there exists magic that can kill even immortals. Elsewhere, Ariel furiously realizes that Nameless is alive when one of her parallel minds uses her link with "mother" to attack her mind.
