The people around Aquarose sighed in relief, despite Maria leaving behind most of her forces, they had barely managed do defend the city. The heads that Maria's group had cut off from the King of the Depths had infiltrated into the city's outskirts and started attacking, summoning countless sea monsters.
With the aid of Catarina, Silva, Fabian and his friends, Takeshi, Laura, Tear, Celes, Nia, Violet, Arthur, and many Undead, they were able to resist the endless onslaught of monsters for these last few minutes, before they all started turning into ashes.
The portals summoning them also disappeared completely, revealing that it was all because of the King of the Depths, most of his heads had been destroyed though, but the ones that remained alive quickly turned into ashes as well, groaning in agony one last time.
"GRUOOHHH…!"
