As Netami appears in front of The Burdens, Netami is surprised at Arino's technique. The Yin Release has Wrath, Potency, Quench, and Grace. But she hasn't seen Wrath being utilized before. She sees newfound potential in Arino. She sees Arino as someone worthy she can call King.

Netami: "You there! You called me auntie earlier, what relation do I have to you?"

Arino: "You don't recognize the Son of Greed, auntie?"

Netami takes a closer look at Arino. His magical essence seems familiar. When she realizes who his father is, she smiles.

Netami: "So you are the profound Son of Greed. I see, I see! Come forth and show me your power!"

As Arino steps forward, so does everyone else. Musabori, scared that Netami will take more lives, shouts at the crew to stop advancing. Arino looks at Musabori with dark purple eyes, his eyes alone shuts Musabori up. Netami laughs as the aura of her presence blows back most of the scenery of the camp. Arino looks at Katria and the others and nods his head. They know this will be a tough fight, but they only have to hold on for a certain amount of time. Netami fully tends to go full strength on them. Knowing The Burdens, even when they aren't strong enough to take on a sin, they are strong enough to hold out a fight.

As Arino prepares his fighting stance, he hears a voice in his head. The voice of Mammon, lingers in his head. I will lend you some strength, you need to prove yourself to her. Arino's eyes turn dark purple and start to glow, Arisa's eyes glow the same shade of purple as her brother's. The two angels eyes' glow gold as Netami laughs. Netami is interested in this group now, as the group powers up for one joint attack, Netami uses a spell to try and negate their magic. Yin Release, Second Potency, Grazen Overdrive. She throws a beam of negation essence at the Burdens, but there is something up. Arino summons a reflecting shield and blocks the entire attack. Netami looks at Arino in awe as she starts to blush a little.

Netami(In her head): "So this one is meant to be the New Demon King, I see what you are doing Most High!"

Netami: "Wonderful! Just wonderful! It seems I will use some of my power now!"

Netami, amazed that Arino was able to block her first spell, she starts to summon a sphere of dark energy. As Arino prepares to block the beam, the shield suddenly disappears. Arino, shocked, tells the others to run, as the beam comes straight at him. He tries to reduce the pain of the attack but the pain is too much. A white light surrounds the area, drowning the mindscape in it's beauty.

Mammon(In Arino's head): You did well in protecting the others, now show her what you are made of Arino!

Arino and the others decide to put their full strength into this next attack. Arino and Arisa's eyes glow dark purple while Katria and Savona's eyes turn gold. As The Burdens charge up their attack, Netami smiles while repeatedly saying more, More!

Arisa, Katria, and Savona insert all their power into a sword of essence. Netami grows more and more excited by the lengths that Arino is willing to go. With the combined force of Yin and Yang, Arino learns a new technique. The Yin Yang Release. The technique only the Most High has learned and mastered.

When Netami sees the sword, she has flashbacks of The Most High using that same sword on her and Satan. Netami starts to laugh as more projectiles fling themselves at Arino. As Arino dodges them all, Netami uses a dirty trick and trips Arino. But Arino uses the ledge as momentum and leaps towards Netami. Netami summons a shield to block the attack but every swing Arino took, it shattered the shield every time. As Arino went to swing at Netami, she looked at Arino full of excitement.

Netami(in her head): "I can't wait for what you will do, Arino! Your auntie will be waiting for you!"

One swing, one chance at a victory. Arino said the fabled words I remember saying long ago…

Arino and Narrator together: "Yin Yang Release, Sword of the Perfect Paradox!"

Netami's arm clashes with the sword, but her arm soon loses connection with her body. As Netami's arm is cut off, Arino does one final slash, landing a hit on Netami. In the midst of the explosion of energy, Netami embraces Arino and whispers to him "You did well. Until next time, my beloved nephew."

Arino and Netami emerge from the aftermath standing. Arino looks close to death as he vomits out a lot of blood. Netami before she disappears makes a lightning storm happen. With Arino's remaining strength he grabs Musabori and the others to get away from the impact. Luckily they were to escape the camp and make their way back to the starter town. Katria and Musabori trot their way to a nearby hotel while Savona and Arisa trot Arino to a hospital. Arino tries to regain consciousness several times. As he's being carried to the hospital, Arino suddenly starts to slip out of their shoulders.

Arisa(faintly): "Arino?! Arino!"

Savona(faintly): "Arino! Don't give out on us! We're almost there! Medic! Someone call a medic!"

As Arino slips out of consciousness, he smiles. Knowing that he saved the others from Netami's grasps, showing them a good example of leadership.
