WAGNARD SPOILER!
WA
Wagnard is the dark sorcerer whose ambitions eventually become even more dangerous than Marmo's military conquest. Where Beld and Ashram pursue power through kingdoms, armies and relics, Wagnard is willing to reach into forces that should remain buried. In the OVA he seeks the Scepter of Domination and targets Deedlit because the life force of a high elf can fuel his plan. His real goal is the resurrection of Kardis, the goddess of destruction beneath Marmo. Wagnard kidnaps Deedlit and begins the ritual, then survives being cut down by Ashram long enough to kill the Black Knight before finally dying himself. Even in death, his ritual nearly brings catastrophe to Lodoss.

Open page →Ashram reaches Wagnard's altar before Parn and attacks the sorcerer who has turned Marmo's future into fuel for Kardis. The fight is personal even without friendship between them. Ashram sees Wagnard's plan as a betrayal of the order Beld built, while Wagnard has moved beyond caring who rules anything.
Ashram manages to strike Wagnard down, but the wizard refuses to stay down. Wagnard grabs Ashram and the two continue tearing at each other even as the ritual collapses around them.

The Breakdown
Ashram has the better blade and the clearer combat instincts. Wagnard has already become something harder to stop than an ordinary man. Their fight ends with both of them destroying the future they thought they were claiming.
Parn reaches the altar expecting Wagnard to be the final obstacle and instead finds Ashram still standing. The rivalry from the War of Heroes finally gets its uninterrupted rematch while Deedlit is dying nearby and the ritual is coming apart.
Ashram defeats Parn again. The result is important because the OVA does not suddenly make Parn the better swordsman just because he is the protagonist in the last episode. The fight only changes when the mortally wounded Wagnard attacks Ashram, giving Parn the chance to act after both of his enemies collapse.

The Breakdown
Parn does not win the duel. He survives the duel, inherits the moment, and then uses the Holy Sword and Demon Sword together to save Deedlit. The difference matters.
