Summary
A brief flashback reveals Nina past life at her small temple until she was enslaved.

A couple of soldiers in front of Edgar's mansion warn Stella and her knights not to trespass any further. However, Stella announces her name and title while proclaiming they're there to conduct an inspection. Furthermore, she mentions that Gilet had been arrested under corruption charges. Since the soldiers refuse to comply with Stella's orders, Tania and Kanade intervene, causing the two soldiers to alert their comrades they're under attack. Surrounded by numerous soldiers, Tania and Kanade break through the main gate as Edgar watches from his room, anticipating his newly acquired ring will help him defeat Rein.

Meanwhile, Rein, Runa, and Sora manage to infiltrate the mansion's basement, in hopes of rescuing the hostages there. Runa casts Material Search, planning to teleport any hostages they locate out of the mansion magically. Once Runa detects a large magical signature below them, believed to be the hostages, and one of the other signatures is said to be on par with Sora and her. Rein suspects that another Ultimate Species is held captive there and decides to have the fairies rescue the hostages while he rescues the Ultimate Species.

Walking through the mansion alone, Rein locates where the Ultimate Species, which turns out to be, Nina, a Demigod. Startled by Rein's presence, Nina acts apprehensive toward him as he breaks into her cell and casts a healing spell on her. Thankful for what Rein did, Nina gives her name and then embraces him.

Another brief flashback is shown, revealing how Nina became conscripted by Edgar. Back in the present, Nina informs Rein of her situation, and he decides to emancipate her. Rein's plan, however, backfires at first since although the slave collar's magic is fundamentally similar to a Beast Tamer's magic, it's still difficult for him to break. By utilizing the power granted by his tamed friends, Rein manages to break the slave collar's spell, which frees Nina.

Outside, Stella, her knights, Kanade, and Tania all continue dealing with the soldiers surrounding the area and are soon joined by Runa and Sora. The fairies inform the others that they've rescued the hostages, who are now at a safe location. Hearing this envigorates both Kanade and Tania, who continue their onslaught against the soldiers. In his room, Edgar reassures his father that he'll handle the situation alone.

In the mansion's foyer, Rein carrying Nina on his back regroups with Stella's group, who claim Rein had "seduced" another girl, much to his chagrin. Edgar's father entered the foyer and was ordered by Stella to surrender himself. He, however, refuses and is sequentially captured by Rein's gauntlet wire. Immediately, Edgar appears and, using the ring that Arios gave him, summons a Reaper that stabs him in the chest with its scythe.

Standing atop the mansion's roof, Arios gloats about Rein's supposed death and claim's he'll now be able to rest easy. After Arios disappears into the night, Rein is revealed unharmed by the Reaper's attack. Sora mentions that Rein was just hit with an instant death spell, yet it did not affect him. Hence, Runa casts a Poison affliction spell on Rein, which doesn't work, and it corroborates her hypothesis that Rein is immune to status effect magic.

Watching from the 2nd-floor banister, the despondent Edgar watches the conversation between Rein and his party, while internally lamenting how an entitled noble such as him had failed. Refusing to accept the outcome, some dark ominous energy escapes from Edgar's ring that engulfs him and transforms the noble into a demon.
