After Ariel reveals Darius's crimes and he was about to be arrested Reida comes crashing down from the ceiling in the party and has Rudeus and party in a deadlock using her trump card Deprivation Sword Kingdom. It is revealed that she was one of Hitogami's Apostles and she came to save Darius Silva Ganius who is also her first love. She kills two of Perugius' servants instantaneously as they move to attack her, Almanfi and Trophymus, nearly cuts Rudeus Greyrat's hand off if it wasn't for his magically-enhanced gauntlet simply for him channeling mana into his ring to contact Orsted. This causes everyone near her to be incapable of moving a muscle(including Rudeus, Eris, Ghyslaine, Sylphy, Perugius and his servants), allowing Reida to take advantage of this opportunity to pay back her debt to Darius. She instructs Auber Corvette to cut off Ariel, Perugius, and Rudeus' heads for her while she maintains her skill. While everyone remained still, she created a fake explanation for her actions, that she was operating under pay from the King Dragon Realm and was ordered to assassinate Asura nobles, but after sensing that Orsted was coming for her she went into a monologue about how the Man-God came to her in a dream and convinced her to repay her debt to Darius. When Orsted arrives everyone at the party is frozen due to his curse. She asks Orsted if he has come to kill her, and he replies in the affirmative. After this she uses Deprivation Sword Kingdom, but Orsted blocks all her attacks using his bare hands, walks upto her and kills her with one blow to the heart and leaves the party without saying anything further.
