Marumaro attacks Shu and the rest, thinking they are responsible for destroying the city. They set a trap and capture Marumaro. After being freed by Zola, Marumaro finds the citizens and Nene's minions. Shu and the rest join the fight and face a pair of twin shadow users. The twins withdraws from the fight and Marumaro joins the team.

Shu and Blue Dragon are sent to the nearest town to find a blacksmith to make a replacement part for the Mechat and also to get supplies. On their way to the nearest village, Shu and Blue Dragon save a boy named Tonto from local bandits whose jewels were taken from Tonto. Upon arriving in the village, Shu meets Tonto's sister who happens to be a blacksmith. Shu has some trouble when Tonto steals tomatoes, potatoes, and apples from three local farmers and Shu had to pay for those. Shu and Tonto get into trouble with Tonto's sister when she finds out that Shu is a Shadow Wielder and Tonto had been stealing again. After dodging her hammer before she collapse in sorrow, Shu learns that Tonto's sister hates Shadow Wielders after recurring attack by Shadow Wielders from Gran Kingdom. When asked why Tonto wants to become a Shadow Wielder, Tonto's sister states that Gran Kingdom returned last year with Ivanov and Gustav demanded tribute. Shu and Tonto's sister get word from one of the farmers that the local bandits have captured Tonto. Shu and Tonto's sister managed to find their hideout as the bandits use a tank and robots they stole from Gran Kingdom to attack Shu and Blue Dragon. Due to Tonto's sister not liking Shadow Wielders, Shu is easily taken down by the bandits and Blue Dragon causes them to retreat. After recuperating, Shu finally gets that replacement part for the Mechat and defeats the bandits before rejoining with the others.

The final battle arrives between Shu and the more powerful demon Zola. After Shu defeats Zola everyone begins the resealing of the darkness. But they learn that in order to free the world of darkness, a sacrifice of the shadows must be made. So everybody uses up every last drop of energy that their shadows possess and they reseal the darkness. The world returns to normal, and everyone resumes their normal lives.

Arriving to Coreed, Shu, Bouquet, Marumaro, and Noi ask Homeron the Original to help them in locating Jiro, but learn that he has retired and recommends one more skilled than he is. Upon learning the triangular pattern as part of Homeron the Original's riddle about someone inheriting Homeron's wishes, they end up at the house of Xie (the girl that Homeron the Great was disguised as in an earlier encounter). Before getting down to business, she informs the group that Rosekstan's capital Albarose was destroyed throwing the world in chaos. Xie also mentions that the Red Dragon that Shu had encountered happens to be sighted whenever coup d'état, wars, and natural disasters are going to occur. She does managed to give them directions on where Jiro and Kluke are residing.

Meanwhile, Jiro has a run-in with Delphinium and Deathroy which ends with Delphinium escaping. When Shu, Bouquet, Marumaro, and Noi arrive at Jiro's training hut. Jiro declines Noi's offer to regaining his shadow and rejoining Shu's group. Shu goes against Jiro to see what he has learned, when fighting Blue Dragon. After Jiro managed to knock down Shu, Jiro tells he was training hard in the last 2 years so that he can one day defeat Delphinium. Eavesdropping about Noi's abilities, Delphinium attacks and captures Bouquet. She uses her as a "trade card" to get Noi to reawaken Deathroy's shadow Chimera. Noi does so and preforms the Tosen Kyuden ability on Deathroy which reawakens Chimera. After the events, Jiro and Shu's party begins traveling in their different paths with Jiro in pursuit of Delphinium and reunite with Minotaur in later time.

In a stormy volcanic area, Noi runs into Legolas nearby Z'Mey: a dragon sanctuary. Conrad also arrives with Griz and Daner. Meanwhile, Marumaro and Bouquet continue their search for Kluke. At a nearby town, Kluke is shown tending to the injured. Daner shows Noi an artifact that Conrad's group had found. Noi then leads Legolas, Conrad, Griz and Daner into Z'Mey and go through many obstacles to get to the main chamber. Meanwhile, Shu sees a nearby town that is annihilated when Rudolph arrives. Shu and Rudolph unleash their shadows and fight. Noi places the artifact in the area and it unveiling a shuttle called Mast Driver and its pyramid-like platform. The light it emits is noticed by Shu and Rudolph as Rudolph leaves. Meanwhile, Bouquet and Marumaro have met up with Kluke at the area where Primella's vision of her took place.

Rosekstan begins their attack on Rudolph's war machine. Rudolph then unleashes his winged creatures, a bunch of Amethyst Dragons, a Moody Dragon, and a Phantom Dragon. Jiro, Kluke, Marumaro, Bouquet, Andropov, and General Logi unleash their shadows to attack the war machine while Noi looks for Shu. Meanwhile, Shu makes contact with Zola's spirit. As the battle progresses, Rudolph's war machine decimates most of the Rosekstan fleet. Just as one of the winged creatures is about to attack Jiro, he is saved by Delphinium and Deathroy (who have unleashed Chimera) as they arrive with reinforcements. Sleipnir fires its cannon at Rudolph's war machine but to no avail. Rudolph then fires the attack which decimates more Rosekstan airships as Noi charges towards the war machine.

Things aren't looking good for Rosekstan and Shu's allies. Just then, the Shu/Blue Dragon emerges with Primella in its hand. Primella wakes up as she is given to Dr. Tarkovsky and General Szabo. Rudolph emerges from the war machine and fights the Shu/Blue Dragon. They match blow to blow until Rudolph uses his intangibility to keep the Shu/Blue Dragon from hitting him and then multiplies to attack the Shu/Blue Dragon. With help from Primella, the Shu/Blue Dragon destroys the duplicates. The Shu/Blue Dragon collides its punch with Rudolph's punch. The hopes of Shu's allies, Marumaro's siblings, and even the thought-dead Conrad, Griz, and Daner help give the Shu/Blue Dragon the strength to fight Rudolph. Their combined attacks results in an explosion that destroys the winged creatures and the dragons that Rudolph had summoned. As the Shu/Blue Dragon falls to the ground, Rudolph starts to crack up and explode taking his war machine with him.
