Arthur hurls magic chains and an aerial circle to crash the attacking dragons into the stone dock. The intense effort knocks him unconscious. A squad of red-robed mages arrives to aid Guinevere and inspects the fallen monsters. Guinevere studies Arthur's limp body and wonders if he destroyed them. Later, she meets her father, President Taliesin, in Avalon. The lead mage admits his team did not slay the beasts, shocking Taliesin.

Guinevere enters the Great Hall to see her father, President Taliesin. The blonde mage informs Taliesin that the rescue unit arrived after three dragons were already dead and two had fled. Taliesin stares at them in complete disbelief.
Key Lines from Episode 8
“Before we even arrived, these three dragons were already finished. Even we couldn't have slain them that fast.”
“Strange... why does my gut say it was him?”
“President, we weren't the ones who defeated them. When we arrived only three dragon corpses lay on the ground, the other two had fled.”
“What? Who did this?”
How Episode 8 Ends
