The Demon Lord is defeated by a human hero; to find his replacement, the demonkin hold a competition; Helck, a human and mortal enemy, is among the participants.

Helck continues to rack up victories as a fan favourite of the crowd; he then proceeds on to the semifinals race.

Helck displays immense strength and leaves Vermilio increasingly concerned about the threat he poses.

After Helck blocks an attack meant for Edil, Vermilio becomes convinced that he is an enemy; the floor gives away and everyone falls into a dark underground room.

The mysterious power of the gate sends Vermilio and Helck to an unknown remote island; Vermilio travels deeper into the island and comes across a fluffy creature.

Vermilio poses a question to Helck about fighting against old friends; the others at Castle Urum are fighting winged knights.
