LEYLIA SPOILER!
LE
Leylia is a priestess of Marfa whose disappearance motivates Ghim's entire journey, although for much of the OVA the audience sees her without knowing who she really is. Before vanishing, she helped nurse the injured dwarf back to health and became someone he cared about deeply. Karla takes possession of Leylia through the Grey Witch's circlet and uses her body while manipulating the War of Heroes. Ghim eventually recognizes the woman beneath Karla's identity and refuses to abandon her. His final attack knocks away the circlet and restores Leylia to herself, though it costs him his life. Freed from Karla, Leylia carries both gratitude and grief, as well as knowledge of the witch that few living people possess.

RECORD OF LODOSS WAR COMBAT LEDGER //
Open page →Ghim's confrontation with Karla is a rescue mission disguised as a boss fight. He does not care about proving that a dwarf can defeat an ancient sorceress. He cares that Leylia is inside the body Karla is using.
When the full party joins the fight, Karla's magic is still overwhelming. Ghim keeps forcing his way toward the circlet anyway and finally tears it free, releasing Leylia before Karla's attack kills him.

The Breakdown
The win condition is the circlet, not Karla's health bar. Ghim understands the objective more clearly than anyone else in the room and pays everything to reach it.
