After Rista and Seiya retreat once again to the Divine Realm, Aria proposes that Seiya train under the tutelage of one of the Gods there. A looming crisis on Gaeabrande compels the pair to return, and seek out companions to aid them in their quest.

With a massive undead army approaching, Seiya dismisses any assistance from Mash, who does not take kindly to the snub. However, when Mash later turns up missing, it is up to Seiya and the others to rescue him from the enemy's clutches.

Kilkapul summons a nightmarish reaper to eliminate Seiya and the others, and not even retreating to the Divine Realm is enough to stop its advance. After Mash and Elulu improve their skills, Rista resolves to step up her own game, as well.

Rista narrates a retrospective of the major events of the first half of her adventures with Seiya, Mash, and Elulu.

Rista, Mash and Elulu enjoy their day of shopping and strolling around town, but when Seiya fails to meet up with them later, they begin to worry. When Rista turns to Ishtar for help locating Seiya, she is met with a surprising revelation.

In violation of Divine Realm law, Rista opens a portal directly to the location of the final boss fight, where Seiya and the Demon Lord are locked in mortal combat. Seiya resolves himself to make the ultimate sacrifice to defeat the Demon Lord.
