Rita escapes from the cloaked demon in the castle while the King proceeds to burn Jeanne D'Arc at the stake before a crowd of citizens who proclaim her innocence. As Jeanne burns, she is abandoned by her patron angel. She accepts the offer of the cloaked demon and is converted from a saint into a witch and escapes as a demon. Meanwhile, as the trio continue their journey to find Amira's mother, they are intercepted by the cloaked demon, revealed as Amira’s mentor Martinet, who tells them they are really in Helheim, not Prudisia. Rita seeks out Bacchus and inquires about the cloaked demon then they encounter the severely injured Azazel who later agrees to help Rita if she takes him to Abos. The demon lord Belzebuth appears before the trio, capturing Kaisar and Favaro, and telling Amira to fulfill her purpose before he shows her mother, Nichole. Martinet reveals he created Amira from Nicole as a tool to release Bahamut and all Amira's memories are fabricated. Amira's compromised emotional state causes the key's seal to unlock, falling into the demon's hands as the completed Transcendent Key. Favaro then pretends to join the demons but Martinet sees through the ploy and forcibly turns Favaro into a demon.
