Plot
With Deak Slathky down, the ice on Silphy Dearcroft disappears. An angry and vengeful Deak quickly gets back up and corms a giant ice block, then brings it down on Sven Vollfied, who, much to Deak's shock, dodges it. Silphy knocks him out with a hammer kick before he could do anything else and thanks Sven for saving her twice.

Train Heartnet and River Zastory arrive at the Apostles's castle. The guards fire as many bullets as possible, but each one is blocked by either River's fist or Train's gun. Once the guards stop firing, the two sweeper get ready to fight.

Inside the castle, Shiki is watching the battle from his crystal ball. He is shocked that four Taoists have been subdued and wonders if these are the limits of Tao. He then decides to personally fight the sweepers.
