The clerics all start walking back to their homes since Sekai doesn't want to take them back, some of them complaining about how far they have to go. Swordmaster Leafa has been cleaned up and given a robe. She is suspicious on how Sekai gathered all the clerics so fast and demands to know how he did it. Clau tells Leafa to stop harassing Sekai because without him, they could never have defeated Dark Shoggoth. Leafa says he's just a pervert who somehow strips girls. Clau and her party admit that is true, but he saved all their lives and is a true Brave. Niña adds that they already saved the tower, amazing Leafa. Sekai starts to become smug that so many people are praising him, but Fury warns him not to let it go to his head. Leafa says if the Princess supports him, she'll let him off the hook, but if he offends her again, she will kill him.
Leafa discusses the destruction of the Great Seal with Clau. It is not normal for it to crack, so either somebody did it on purpose, or the rumor that the Forces of Darkness are returning is true. Leafa decides to leave and thanks Sekai for weakening Dark Shoggoth for her, though she boasts that even without his help, she would have freed herself and killed it eventually. Sekai says she is welcome, then muses that while Clau and Leafa were talking, he froze time to open their robes and grope them. As she leaves, Leafa wonders about Sekai because her intuition tells her he is weak, yet he pulls stunts like this.
The timer has about an hour left, so Sekai prepares to freeze time so he can carry Niña and Fury to the castle in his cart. Before he can, a blushing Clau gets his attention. She is nervous and stammers as she says that royalty do not show their privates to anyone of the opposite gender except the one they plan to marry. Shocked, he muses that he's seen Alicia's privates as well. Clau says since he saw her naked, will he... Sekai panics, freezes time, and runs away.
Sekai's party are in the King and Alicia's audience chamber. The King believes their story of saving Clau and killing Dark Shoggoth and gives them money. The timer is still going down and has 35 minutes left. Alicia thanks Sekai for saving her sister. He freezes time and pulls down her panties, ranting and asking why he didn't get the Stage Clear after defeating Dark Shoggoth. He puts her panties back and unfreezes time. They notice dark clouds approaching the city from the south and at first assume the fireworks display from last time will happen, but realize it is completely different. The King says it is the Realm of Darkness. Since the Great Seal was destroyed, a barrier was weakened, allowing the Realm of Darkness to expand.
The clouds cover a small section of the city and completely block out the sun, leaving that section in shadow. A man inside the shadow wonders what is going on and is quickly killed by darklings in the form of shadowy demons. Another darkling, a horned woman in a dominatrix outfit carrying a whip, walks to the edge of the shadow and taunts the horrified civilians on the other side, saying once they enter the darkness, they will die, and soon, the darkness will cover the entire land. She says to behold her master and a demon the size of a mountain appears. The royals identify him as the King of Darkness. Sekai worries that he cannot kill him no matter how long he freezes time. King Woz II says the King of Darkness cannot leave the darkness, so they should be safe for now. The King of Darkness says they will all pay for killing Dark Shoggoth. Sekai is horrified when the timer turns red and instantly goes down to 10 minutes before counting down again. The King of Darkness uses the spell Meteor Shower, summoning a meteor shower on the city.
Realizing there is only one option, Sekai freezes time and summons Gankichi. Together, they carry everyone out of the city, with Sekai sometimes taking breaks to ogle women. Once everyone is safe, he unfreezes time. Everyone is confused at their new surroundings, then look on in horror as the meteors destroy the city. Not noticing the people are safe, the King of Darkness says he got his revenge and walks away. King Woz II laments losing his castle and capital city, but Alicia points out the people are safe and they can just rebuild. Sekai finally receives the STAGE CLEAR message while the sky turns dark and the fireworks display happens. The timer resets to 240 hours, or 10 days, then starts counting down again. Alicia says Sekai pulled off another miracle. He freezes time and pulls down her panties.
