Leo endured the hazards of the Dimensional Gap until he found a drifting fragment of land with an ancient castle. A powerful unknown Dragon King awakened and attacked him, leaving Leo facing a fight instead of the help he had hoped to find.

• Leo narrowly avoided poisonous remains and an invisible Fragment of Nothingness while searching the Dimensional Gap for a way out.
• Leo worried about Cao Cao, his peerage, and the Summit Meeting, but reassured himself that his allies were likely alive.
• Leo discovered a vast fragment of land drifting through the gap and cautiously explored it, finding a ruined castle.
• Leo found a sleeping, fluffy purple dragon outside the castle and recognized its aura as that of an unknown Dragon King.
• Leo awakened the dragon, which blasted him with lightning breath and then charged at him when he emerged unharmed.

Leo fought a giant dragon on a ruined floating land in the Dimensional Gap, dodging its attacks and discovering that it absorbed lightning. He launched a compressed Fire Lotus at the dragon, triggering a massive explosion that engulfed the land and left the battle’s outcome unclear.

• Leo found the Dragon King near death after his fire lotus attack and offered to spare it in exchange for information, but it died before answering.
• Leo used his last Evil Piece to reincarnate the Dragon King as his peerage member, restoring its body and receiving a large amount of Demonic Power, an enhanced Sacred Gear, and the Lightning trait.
• Leo discovered that he could readily manifest powerful lightning and that feeding lightning-aspected Demonic Power into Zenith Tempest greatly amplified its lightning attack.
• The revived Dragon King transformed into a little girl, startling Leo, who asked her name.
• The girl told Leo that her name was Kanna Kamui.

Leo coaxed Kanna into explaining why she guarded the castle, then broke the barrier that kept her out and entered with her trapped in a magical bubble. Kanna revealed she had been exiled to the Dimensional Gap and had grown to Dragon King strength while living near the castle, which Leo began exploring.

• Leo used giant lollipops to persuade Kanna to admit that she had never entered the castle because its barrier repelled her.
• Leo flew into the castle courtyard, while the barrier stopped Kanna and forced her to agree to follow his instructions.

• Leo and the bubble-bound Kanna traveled through the vast castle, which Leo suspected had been built for dragons.
• Kanna told Leo she had been exiled to the Dimensional Gap for her pranks and had settled near the castle, where her power had grown to Dragon King strength over hundreds of years.

Leo searched the ruined castle for a way out of the Dimensional Gap and learned from its books that it had once been the royal castle of the Vermis Kingdom, blessed by Great Red. After finding no escape route, he went to the sealed Throne Hall on the castle’s top floor.

• Leo searched the castle’s corridors and rooms, gathered books, and discovered he could read their Dragon Language.

• Leo searched the castle for several days but found no way to escape, while Kanna slept in a soap bubble.
• Leo went to the top floor and found that the doors to the Throne Hall still would not open.

Leo failed to open the sealed chamber holding the Dragon Bloodline and Dragon Treasures, even after Kanna's Electric Breath and his attempt to slip beneath the door. When two immense dragon auras shook the Dimensional Gap and began destroying the castle and land, Leo decided to head toward them, believing they might be his best chance to escape.

• Leo examined the layered sealing spells on the chamber door and concluded that neither he nor Kanna could break them.
• Kanna fired her Electric Breath at the door, but it remained unharmed, and Leo's attempt to flow beneath it as water was also blocked by the seal.
• A powerful blast shook the castle and shattered the surrounding land, forcing Leo to fly out with Kanna.
• Leo sensed two immense auras in the depths of the Dimensional Gap, and Kanna recognized them as belonging to terrifying dragons.
• Although Kanna urged him to flee, Leo decided to fly toward the dragons because they might offer a way out of the Dimensional Gap.

• Ophis reappeared behind Leo and identified him as a Devil.
• Leo told Ophis that he had come to ask for help escaping the Dimensional Gap.

• Ophis recognized Great Red’s faint scent on Leo, and he explained that he had encountered treasures blessed by Great Red in the castle.
• Ophis carried Leo across the Dimensional Gap to the castle, where she noticed an even stronger trace of Great Red around the Throne Hall.

• Ophis broke the door’s sealing spell, and Leo followed her into the Throne Hall while Kanna stayed behind in the bubble.
• Leo and Ophis found a Crystal Coffin where the throne should have been, containing a sleeping red-haired girl and a fiery-red sword.

Leo discovered Stella Vermillion, the last princess of the Vermis Kingdom, sealed with a Dragon Treasure and persuaded Ophis not to destroy her. He reincarnated Stella as his Knight, gained Maou-Class power and twelve wings, and left the Throne Hall confident that only Sirzechs Lucifer and Ajuka Beelzebub surpassed him among Devils.

• Leo read the coffin inscription and identified Stella Vermillion as the last heir of the Vermis Kingdom's Dragon Bloodline, sealed alongside a powerful Dragon Treasure.
• Ophis prepared to destroy Stella and the Dragon Treasure as remnants of Great Red's power, but Leo stopped her by offering to make Stella his Peerage and remove her from Great Red's side.

• Leo’s Devil Wings grew to twelve, and Ophis shifted her attention from his Great Red aura to Leo himself.
• Stella awoke in Leo’s arms, then erupted in flames and blasted him across the Throne Hall.
• Ophis explained that her presence had awakened Stella’s bloodline’s defensive instinct, causing Stella to mistake Leo for an enemy.
• Stella summoned Laevateinn and advanced on Leo, who declined Ophis’s offer to intervene and chose to fight her himself.
• Stella’s strike shattered the hall floor, and she followed with her Dragon King Flames technique, bringing a blazing slash down on Leo.

Leo fought Stella as her Dragon Bloodline drove her to unleash devastating attacks that destroyed the Throne Hall and engulfed the castle in magma. After revealing his superior power, Leo defeated her with a lightning strike, caught her as she fell, and flew back toward the castle.

• Stella repeatedly attacked Leo with her Flame Sword, while he dodged, blocked, and countered her strikes with Lightning.
• Stella used Dragon Tremor Kick to send Leo flying, then split his body in two with her Flame Sword, but he regenerated.
• Stella unleashed Hell Dragon's Maw and Tyrant Dragon Roar, while Leo's Lightning overwhelmed her until she raised a powerful heat wave.
• Stella used Lair of the Dragon Queen to erupt magma through the castle, forcing Leo to fly into the open air.
• Leo called his Lightning attack Chidori, pierced Stella with it, then caught her as she fell and flew toward the castle.

After returning to the ruined castle, Leo learned from Ophis that his Peerage Transformation power made him a unique kind of Transcendent and could rival the Dragon Gods’ authorities.

• Ophis asked Leo to help defeat Great Red, saying she could help him grow stronger.
• Ophis offered to become Leo’s servant so that he could use her power and eventually surpass Great Red.

Ophis offered to become Leo’s Devil servant and give him much of her power so he could surpass Great Red and help her defeat the Apocalypse Dragon. Leo was tempted but remained wary of the danger, so he postponed his decision and received an Evil Piece that would let him summon Ophis.

• Ophis explained that Leo could gain enough power to surpass Great Red if she became his servant and transferred much of her strength to him.
• Leo recalled his modest goals and admitted that Ophis’s offer tempted him with the chance to become a Dragon God-level being.
• Leo asked what giving up her power would do to Ophis, and she said she cared only about returning to her quiet world.
