After a mini-battle against Guideau, the witch gets sealed by Ashaf's magic. However, she shockingly breaks free from the spell using the infamous Demon Sword. It is revealed that a wielder of a Demon Sword can destroy the entire world.
Sensing no way of victory at that moment, Ashaf attempts to placate the witch and promises to protect her if she joins them. However, the witch, whose name is revealed as Helga Velvette refuses the offer because she prefers solitude.
Following that, the episode shows the Paladin Corps sending more troops after the witch. Although she defeats most of them, she confronts the military force's Colonel, who corners her.
