Asta and Yuno are given permission to go home to Hage for a little while. Asta was being called a devil in the papers, but Father, Sister Lily, everyone at the church, as well as the people who even used to make fun of Asta and Yuno because they were orphans, welcomed them home with open arms. Asta and Yuno see that they had gone down the right path and all their hard work wasn’t for nothing, and then…

Asta, Noelle, and Magna manage to catch up to the Devil Believers who had taken Nero. But they find that the Devil Believers have now grown in numbers. Magna goes back to tell Yami of the situation. Asta and Noelle are left behind and try to do what they can to save Nero. But it appears that the Devil Believers have made up their minds on achieving their goal, even if it costs them their lives.

Yami strikes Dante what should have been a mortal blow, but he recovers quickly with the Power of his Devil. Asta witnesses his own Devil seethe in frenzy. In the Heart Kingdom, Charmy and Leo battle more Dark Disciples.

Yami and Vangeance are taken to the Spade Kingdom so that the ritual to open the gate to the underworld can begin. Despite how hurt he is, Asta tries to escape the infirmary to go and save Yami, however he is stopped by a mage named Nacht Faust, who also happens to be a devil-possessed. He offers to show Asta how to use his devil powers even better. Meanwhile, the Magic Knight Squad Captains hold an emergency meeting. The Golden Dawn has almost been completely annihilated, and Yuno shows up to the meeting, showing new resolve.
