Summary
Ristarte, Mash, and Elulu arrive in the heart of the Demon Lord's castle to see Seiya clashing with the Demon Lord himself. Before they can help, however, Seiya unleashes the Gate of Valhalla, the suicidal technique he learned from Valkyrie. Before the doors of the Gate can close, the Demon Lord transforms into a larger demon and attempts to break free. Seiya, utilizing another of Valkyrie's skills, thrusts the Demon Lord into the Gate with his sword and seals him away. Due to the effects of the Gate of Valhalla, Seiya's life force begins to crumble. Ristarte demands the full use of her healing ability from the Divine Realm to save Seiya, disregarding the consequences of disobeying the Divine Realm's laws for a second time. With her full strength, Ristarte manages to heal Seiya's wounds in time. Before they can celebrate, Elulu notices the Gate of Valhalla still hovering above them, and the Demon Lord again bursts through the doors threatening to destroy the entire world with him. Suddenly, Seiya stands up and calls forth a second Gate of Valhalla that swallows the first one, finally defeating the Demon Lord once and for all. Since the second gate was much stronger, Seiya's life force fades much quicker than Ristarte is able to heal, so he says his goodbyes to his companions before disappearing with a smile. Sometime later, Mash and Elulu are knighted by Rosalie and Ristarte returns to the Divine Realm. She is subsequently summoned by Ishtar to be punished for defying the Divine Realm's laws. She is informed that she will be sent to save an even stronger world where its Demon Lord has already taken over, but without any of her divine healing powers, and if she fails, she will be stripped of her divinity. Before Ristarte can accept, Ishtar reveals that the effects of the Chain Destruction were lifted when the second Gate of Valhalla was used, meaning all subsequent deaths can be undone. Ristarte receives the note of her hero's information, and cries tears of joy when she sees Seiya's name and extremely cautious nature written on it.
