Facing the final battle, the warrior successfully defeated Diablo, and the body of the demon king dissipated into the body of Prince Albrecht, and there was a hole in the head of the prince into the soul stone. Because the evil power of the soul stone still existed, the warrior had to promptly find a way to seal the devil.
