Ep. 13

Summary

Source-backed · Version: v1 · Original

Otto and Priestella’s knights keep Lye occupied while Felt searches for a powerful metia. Below city hall, Capella reveals that Al opened the floodgates and killed members of the Council of Ten, interfering with her operation. She transforms into Priscilla to provoke him, but Al decapitates and destroys her body; her regeneration immediately restores it. Garfiel remains locked against Kurgan and is distracted by hallucinations of Elsa. Knocked into the catacombs, he recalls Wilhelm explaining that the legendary Eight-Arms uses all his cleavers only against warriors he respects. Their battle enters a civilian shelter containing Garfiel’s younger half-siblings. He defeats a loose mabeast and finally breaks Elsa’s psychological hold, choosing to protect the living rather than fear another failure. The shelter’s civilians cheer for him, and Kurgan responds by unleashing his full arsenal. Garfiel survives a savage exchange and lands the decisive blow. For a moment, the resurrected warrior regains himself and praises Garfiel before crumbling. The victory is more than physical: Garfiel earns recognition from an ancient hero and accepts his own role as a protector. Nearby, Wilhelm’s duel with Theresia remains unresolved, forcing him to confront a far more personal resurrection.
