Chapter 5

Abandon All Hope, Part 4 (すべて希望を捨てるその④) is the fifth chapter of the Ellipsis light novel.

Summary
Infuriated at the betrayal and with the pointless deaths of those who failed to escape, Sada grabs ahold of an severed leg. Stripping the splintered bone from the leg itself, she arms herself as she crawls through the bog; inching closer to Gozu. Mezu wanders near the center of the swamp, trying to find more survivors. As Sada carefully stands up behind the unaware Gozu, she stabs Gozu in the back with the leg bone. Immediately, she grabs ahold of the last chain as Gozu screams in pain. The scream from Gozu alerts Mezu, prompting Mezu to attack Gozu and disembowel the demon. Mezu realizes his mistake too late, howling in fury while Sada is pulled up to safety.

Sada awakens on a sprawling plane of black marble, surprised to find Natsukawa next to her along with several other new faces. She discovers that the survivors from the Swamp of Blood have been split into differing groups all gathered together. As Sada regains her surroundings, it quickly becomes apparent that they are being watched and cheered on by millions of Fiends and other denizens of the mysterious realm. With a demonic fanfare, Sada and the others watch as frightening demons known as the Qliphah make their arrival.
