Kill the Pandemonium.Wave and Run worry when Kurome collapses. Tatsumi and Lubbock covertly meet up with the palace maid working as a member of the resistance. At the entrance to the palace, they soon find themselves surrounded by Syura and his elite unit. Great General Budo of the Empire appears and uses his Imperial Arms Adramelech, a pair of gauntlets that generate electricity, to attack Tatsumi. Lubbock struggles as Syura repeatedly warps himself on the ground and in midair using Shambhala. When the palace maid restrains Lubbock, she is injured by Syura, who is blindsided when his right hand holding Shambhala is cut off by Lubbock. However, the palace maid stabs Lubbock in the back. Syura teleports Lubbock into an abyss, but Lubbock uses Cross Tail to pull Syura into the abyss. Lubbock kills Syura by crushing his heart from the inside, which then sends them both to high above the palace. After Cross Tail breaks, Lubbock falls on the swords of Syura's men, being stabbed to death. Tatsumi, after being captured by Budo, is sentenced to death by Honest. Esdeath tells Honest to give her the honors to conduct the execution.
