The battle between Dai and Hadlar ends in a draw, but Dai still remains in trouble in "Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai" Episode 44. The new episode is titled "The Hero Lost in the Glacier."

The official preview trailer of "Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai" Episode 44 shows Hadlar leaving the battlefield. After the battle with Dai, Hadlar was wounded.

Meanwhile, Dai is missing after falling into the ocean. Now, Popp is alone and is being followed by Killvearn. It remains to be seen if Popp can survive and fight against Killvearn without Dai’s help. Will Dai arrive to save his friend?

In the last episode, titled "The Clash of Powerful Swords," Popp warned Dai not to use his crest at full power as he needed to conserve his energy.

However, Dai noted that it was not the same Hadlar they knew. He told Popp that he needed to fight with his full strength or they will perish.

Meanwhile, Hadlar was ready to fight against Dai and had high expectations from the disciple of Avan.

Hadlar’s form was different and he appeared extremely dangerous. Powered by his Superior Being body, Hadlar was ready to crush Dai.

Meanwhile, Dai could only defend himself and he was hardly getting a chance to attack.

“Hadlar was more powerful than ever. Along with an indomitable Superior Being body and an unbreakable will, he also has the ability to cast spells. Dai could only defend himself. Cornered, Dai unleashes an Avan Strash with the Sword of Dai,” read the synopsis of Episode 43, according to Crunchyroll.
