Following Mash's recovery, Seiya agrees to allow him and Elulu join them on the adventure, but insists that they receive more training first. The pair offer to lead the party to a cave called the Dragons' Den, said to contain an ultimate weapon.

Elulu and the others are stunned that she is supposed to offer her life to become the ultimate weapon for defeating the Dragon Lord. The party reluctantly agree to go through with the ceremony, but trouble erupts when they have second thoughts.

Rista narrates a retrospective of the major events of the first half of her adventures with Seiya, Mash, and Elulu.
