Nameless decides to use the battle to harvest experience and begins fighting against Ohts, noticing a young boy watching the battle. Ariel suddenly arrives. It is revealed that after killing the dragon she realized her mind was being influenced by Nameless's body-brain. Gulie informed her consciousness still resembled Ariel but her thoughts resemble Nameless. She admitted the fusion of her soul with Nameless reduced her desire to kill her, but she still wanted revenge. Nameless finds Ariel has put up barriers to prevent her from using magic or teleporting. Nameless realizes Ariel has the title Ruler of Gluttony, meaning she can eat anything to recover health, including dirt. As they fight humans from both armies are killed by collateral damage. The boy confronts both of them, Nameless appraising him as the 14-year-old Hero Julius. Ariel distracts Julius then casts Abyss magic at Nameless which can kill her despite her immortality. Shun's allies also confront Hugo who cannot seem to remember them from Japan. Shun insists on dueling Hugo alone. Katia and Fei are worried as one of Hugo's titles lists him as a Level 1 Demon Lord, which he could only have earned through perfecting some unknown skill.
