In the past Max, Fred and Leo encountered Yuria, a sorceress who ,despite her insistence she would defeat the demon lord by herself, ended up on the same missions frequently. After encountering a necromancer she couldn’t defeat alone she was rescued by them. In the present Leo and Fred viciously battle. Max feigns indifference until Demon Lord provokes him into losing his temper, revealing he is desperate to do something but he would be forced to kill either Fred or Leo himself, so his only choice is to do nothing. Disappointed, Demon Lord finally leaves Max with no intention of returning. Demon Lord appears between Fred and Leo to announce he has returned to restart the war and issues a public challenge to Max to grow up and fight him before he kills both Leo and Fred. Fred knocks Demon Lord out with ease. Max, now angrier than he has ever been, retrieves his sword and dashes across the city to intervene in the battle, but mistimes his surprise attack and is unimpressively knocked out by Fred and Leo at the same time. In the past the necromancer fled and Yuria joined the hero party after unwillingly admitting they were now friends.
