Detailed Summary (Spoilers)

Ainz Ooal Gown (Pandora's Actor transformed into Ainz, actually), Victim, and Demiurge come to test whether Sebastian really betrayed him or not. Ainz orders Sebastian to kill Toilé (the woman he saved). Sebastian tries to kill her seriously, but Cocytus blocks his attack, telling Sebastian that he proved his loyalty. After that, Ainz (Pandora's Actor) and Victim returns to Nazarick and the real Ainz comes. Ainz recognizes that Toilé is the older sister of Ninya, and decides to accept her into Nazarick as a maid, protecting her in the name of Ainz Ooal Gown.

After the mission to gather information in Re-Estize is finished, Sebastian and Solution prepare to return to Nazarick. While Sebastian and Solution go out to buy wheat and the servants guarding the mansion withdraw to Nazarick, the Eight Fingers kidnaps Toilé and makes Sebastian to come alone to their hidden arena. Sebastian reports this to Ainz. Ainz becomes really upset and sends Demiurge, Mare and Shalltear to get Toilé back and destroy the Eight Fingers.

At the same time Blue Rose, Gazef Stronoff, Brain Unglaus, Climb and other forces move to sweep the Eight Fingers. Brain and Climb meet Sebastian by chance. Sebastian goes to the arena where 4 of the Six Arms are waiting to execute him and kills four of them instantly. Solution kidnaps the audience in the arena. At the same time, Brain, Climb, and Lockmyer fight against Succulent and Zero. Climb and Lockmyer beats Succulent. Zero and Brain prepare their fatal blow, but than Sebastian comes and kills Zero instantly. Sebas saves Toilé and returns to Nazarick with Solution.

In another place inside Re-Estize, Mare and Entoma captures Hilma. Mare brings Hilma to the Kyouhukou as Entoma remains to transport property in Hilma's mansion while eating Hilma's guards. Gagaran of the Blue Rose finds Entoma eating a human's arm. Entoma suggests Gagaran to ignore her, but Gagaran refuses and they start to battle. Entoma is quite stronger than Gagaran, but Tia and Ivileye joins in and beats Entoma by the help of Ivileye's insecticide spell. However, just before Entoma is slain, a masked Demiurge appears. Ivileye tries to make Gagaran and Tia run away, but Demiurge kills them using hellfire wall. Ivileye also prepares for death, but Momon appears and saves her, making Demiurge withdraw for a short time.

Demiurge introduces himself as "Yaldabaoth" and tells Momon that he came to find an important item in Re-Estize. He makes a wall of fire around a certain area of the city and summons numerous devils inside it. Believing Demiurge's story, almost all adventurers in Re-Estize unite to stop Yaldabaoth and Momon becomes their hidden weapon as nobody except him can fight against Yaldabaoth. While other adventurers block the weak demons, Momon, Ivileye, and Nabe fly across the city to strike Yaldabaoth and the insect maid - Entoma.

Climb, Brain and Lockmyer go into the area to find survivors. Most of the people have vanished, but Climb finds one group left alive. While they try to help survivors escape, Brain finds Shalltear. As Shalltear lost her memory due to the side effect of revival, she does not remember Brain. Brain challenges her, and by using Gazef's skill (fourfold slash of light), succeeds in cutting her fingernail. Shalltear tries to catch him, but she discovers Climb and stops chasing (supposed by the alliance between Reneer and Demiurge).

The war between adventurers and demons becomes more and more intense. Endless demons drives the adventures into a corner. In their moment of crisis, warriors under Gazef's command, the revived Gagaran and Tia joins to the adventures so they can earn some more time.

Facing a showdown, Momon against Yaldabaoth, Nabe against Lupusregina, Solution, Entoma, Ivileye against Yuri & CZ fight their respective battles, though the former two are merely performances. After hearing Demiurge's explanation about the plan to make Yaldabaoth as the "Dark Lord", Momon acts as he defeats Yaldabaoth and becomes a national hero.

On the other side, Hilma succumbs to torture and betrays the Eight Fingers. Aura and Mare breaks into the executive council. Aura dominates them by using her breath, and celebrates that they will be puppets of Nazarick.
