Staying Behind For the Sake of Love!.Lina and the others frantically search for the pledge stone in Halciform's house but to no avail. Soon they are confronted with the recently thawed Halciform and to avoid a futile battle they escape into the sewers. As Lina and Gourry are teleported away, Amelia and Zelgadis are left to defeat the slugs (of which Lina has an acute fear) that live in the sewers. Lina and Gourry were summoned to a room where Seigram was sitting. He claimed that he has been looking for powerful people to join him and proposes that Lina does the same and will be freed from her "ridiculous fate" and granted immortality. Lina refuses and finds out that Amelia and Zelgadis have been captured and their life energy will be drained so that Halciform can bring back his girlfriend, Rubia, from the dead. Lina discovers that the pledge stone is Seigram's mask and challenges Halciform to one last battle. The pledge stone is destroyed and Halciform becomes weak. Rubia becomes animated by the life energy. She softly whispers to Halciform "Kill me...". Halciform casts Burst Flare; killing Rubia and himself.
