In his quest to resurrect Wiseman, Amatsuka has finally launched an attack on the ferry carrying Yukina and her classmates. Kanon, believing the others will be safe if she's gone, confronts Amatsuka and tells the sad story of what happened at the monastery five years ago.

Shortly after Yukina lost the use of Schneesturm Wolfin and received an order to return to the Lion King Organization, Itogami Island begins to fall apart under attacks from a magical beast that consumes dragon veins.

While Asagi investigates, she is interrupted by Lydianne Didier, who reveals that she is working for the Taishikyoku, managing the LYL program and will protect their systems against all comers. She challenges Asagi to hacking combat and begins her attack. Lilith's spirit awakens early and automatically, contrary to Kazuomi's schemes.

Natsuki magically prevents Kojo from leaving her premises. Kanon recruits Nina to spring him. Outside, Kiriha offers Yukina and him a private jet and false travel documents. Her agency is having fun at the expense of the rival Lion Kings. Asagi continues her efforts to leave the island with Mogwai's aid. Lydianne assists, and later the convict Meiga.

Myriad forces continue to converge on the frozen Lake Kannawa. Asagi and Lydianne, riding in the pink tank, are joined by Ibliss, a high-ranking vampire from the Warlord's domain, after he rescued them from flying demons. Gajou and Shio carry the comatose Nagisa across the frozen lake, seeking a haven for her.

Shio defies Azama. From afar, Shirona incapacitates the lower level cultists. Okiyama appears on a wyvern and leading a second one to retrieve Azama and they flee. Azama joins the other confrontation and first betrays Ueyanagi, transforming him into a golem, and then attacking Yuiri, triggering a distraught Glenda to transform and fly off with Yuiri, Kojo and Yukina.
