Together with the greatest hero of all time, the team heads to Vearn’s palace.

In Episode 73, titled "The Hope in the Flames," Dai, Popp and Hadlar were imprisoned by Killvearn’s trap. Popp was trying his best to protect Hadlar, Dai and himself from the flames.

But he knew he wouldn’t be able to hold it any longer. Meanwhile, Hadlar snapped at the duo and said they should be ashamed to call themselves Avan’s disciples.
