Summary
The Demon leaves Edgar's mansion to target the townfolks below and determined to stop it, Rein and his part pursue it. However, Rein has Stella and Nina avoid confrontation with the Demon in favor of helping the townfolks.

Rampaging through the town, the Demon is stopped by Kanade and is confronted by Rein's group. Their first efforts against the Demon prove futile, and to even the odds; the Demon summons monster reinforcements. Despite their efforts to defend themselves against the monsters, the Demon casts a spell that destroys parts of the town, setting it on fire. In retaliation, Runa and Sora pin the Demon in place with a light magic spell as Rein boosts Kanade and Tania's powers. The two then launch a barrage of punches against the Demon, followed by a light spell that flung the demon into the sky. Kanade then launches the Demon to the ground with a gut punch. However, all they managed to do was blow off its left arm; it then proceeded to summon more monsters and prepared to destroy Horizon. Hence, Runa and Sora volunteered to use their magic to teleport the townsfolk to a safe location.

Meanwhile, Mina informs Arios about the rampaging Demon in Horizon; however, he refuses to take any action against it, as their main priority is the Demon Lord. Leanne concurs with Arios against Aggath and Mina's concern about the Demon situation, but ultimately concedes to Ario's logic. Unbeknownst to the group, Arios was the one responsible for the Demon's appearance in hopes of getting revenge against Rein.

Back in Horizon, Stella, accompanied by her knights and Nina, they defeat the Demon's summoned creatures. They're soon joined by Sora, and Runa who request their assistance with evacuating the townsfolk using teleportation magic. Privy to the fairies' plans, Stella and her knights leave to round up any townsfolk they can find, as Nina stays behind with Runa and Sora.

Eventually, Stella and her knights gather some townsfolk who initially hesitated to use the fairies' teleportation magic. However, a few familiar faces of the fairies convince them enough to trust in the fairies. Before the second wave of people could be teleported, a pack of the monsters arrived.

Returning to Rein's group, Kanade and Tania become exhausted by fighting against the monsters, but soon get help from the town's adventurers. As that goes on, Runa deals with the newly arrived reinforcements, and Sora teleports the remaining townsfolk to safety. Feeling inadequate, Nina joins Rein's group in hopes of helping them. Both Kanade and Tania realize that Nina could use her demigod powers to teleport Rein close enough to the Demon so he could confront it.

Carrying Nina on his back, Rein uses Nina's teleportation magic to confront the Demon, and after casting Boost on himself, he magically restrains the Demon. In doing this, Rein becomes afflicted by the Demon's influence, but manages to overcome this and overwrites the control over the Demon's monsters. Enraged, the Demon breaks free from his restraints and tries to attack Rein, but is overwhelmed and defeated by its turncoat monsters.

Once the Demon was defeated, Nina became too exhausted to maintain the two in the air, causing them to fall to the ground. Before they crash land, they're caught by Tania.

Three days pass by since the Demon rampaged through Horizon, and its townsfolk start rebuilding the town. Stella had since been appointed the new Knights captain. As for Gilet, his accomplices and Edgar's father were moved to the capital to receive formal punishment for their corrupt actions. Nina also learns that the people from her village were transported to another location, but she hopes to meet them again one day. As for the remaining party members, they all help with the reconstruction of Horizon.
