The group spends the next two days acquiring more medicine and upgrading gear, until the time has come. The group is in front of the pharmacy...

Marcel: "(pumped up) All right! We're ready for the next Virtue!"

Tyler's sanity has been slightly restored.

Tyler: "(blankly) Then let's go..."

Everyone: "Zero Fiction!"

The group enters the middle of a arena built out of schools and lamp posts.

Nia: "This must be Diligence."

???: "Why you are correct Riate."

A man with massive fists sits on top of a throne on top of a school.

Diligence: "Hymn has asked me to toughen you all up a little bit. He may want the souls of Heartfield and that other Riate, but he wants to have a good fight since things have gotten interesting since Humility and Kindness."

A half dozen Souldiers surround them.

Alexis: "Let's take out anything he throws at us and then go for him."

Amanda: "That appears to be our only option."

A Soldier lands a good hit on Amanda while she wasn't looking.

Marcel: "I've got him!"

Marcel lands a good kick and sends the Soldier out of the ring.

Ethan: "Keep it going!"

The next hour or so is basically having the group brutally massacre anything thrown their way. They finally reach the end.

Diligence: "Excellent!"

The group has been pushed way beyond their limit and are exhausted.

Ike: "(wheezing) This won't be easy..."

Diligence jumps down from his throne and smashes his fist into the ground.

Diligence: "If you can't keep your stamina up, you can't hold a candle to Hymn!"

Diligence seemingly teleports in front of Shoma and Nia.

Shoma/ Nia: "(wheezing) How did-"

Diligence slams both of them with his fists and sends them crashing through several buildings.

Lucas/ Ethan: "(panicking) C'mon! Hang in there!"

Diligence: "Two down..."

Diligence does it again in front of Marcel.

Diligence: "Four to-"

As Diligence begins to punch a dazed Marcel, Amanda shoots the fists, giving Marcel a chance to get a hit in and do a little damage to Diligence.

Tyler: "You can get him!"

Marcel's blitz hits Diligence square in the face.

Diligence: "(cocky) Seems like a few of you can land some good shots still."

Alexis takes advantage of this moment and attempts to repeat what she did to Temperance.

Diligence: "(laughing) Even I could see how predictable that is!"

Diligence back hands Alexis into the ground.

Shoma: "(getting up) No you don't!"

Shoma does his signature Magma Slash and causes Diligence to begin to burn.

Bell: "Freeze him in place!"

Ike freezes him in his current position.

Diligence: "(laughing) Do you all think you've won?!"

Diligence begins to have a golden aura surround him.

Chloe: "Wh-What's going on?!"

Diligence: "A special gift Hymn gave to the remaining three Virtues!"

A massive explosion erupts from his body that sends everyone flying.

Diligence: "(exhausted) None of you can stand."

Everyone is seriously hurt compared to the last four.

Diligence: "(exhausted) I may have used everything I had, but now you're all easy prey! Such a shame you couldn't give Hymn his dream fight..."

Diligence starts his killing spree with Shoma.

Lucas: "Shoma!"

Shoma: "(weakly) I can't... move."

Diligence picks up Shoma by the head.

Diligence: "Don't worry. Your memories of this moment shall disappear with your death."

Diligence readies his other fist for a fatal punch.

Nia: "(in pain) Lucas... Shoma..."

???: "Hands off my Lucas!"

A pink arrow is shot from an unknown location and lands a head shot in between his eyes.

Lucas: "(afraid) That voice..."

Diligence drops Shoma and becomes a Soul Coin.

Alexis: "(weakly) Another bond?"

Alexis grabs the Soul Coin as the realm begins to collapse.

Samuel: "(pissed) Let's just go!"

The group returns to the standard realm only to find themselves sore as hell.

Ike: "(in pain) That was exhausting..."

Lucas has a look of dread.

Lucas: "(afraid) She can do it too?!"

Amanda: "Who?"

Lucas: "My stalker."

Marcel: "(afraid) You don't mean-"

Lucas: "Yep, her."

Nia: "(in pain) Let's go inside and discuss it there."
