Aphrodite explains that the roses are known as Royal Demon Roses, poisonous roses that can kill someone with their thorns or pollen. Seiya will lose his five senses and soon die. He then reveals that he is the assassin of Shun's master Albiore. Alongside Scorpio Milo, they went to Andromeda Island. Albiore was as strong as a Gold Saint even though he was a Silver Saint, so Milo struggled and was slowly approaching defeat. Aphrodite threw a rose and poisoned Albiore, paralyzing him and leaving him vulnerable for Milo's killing blow. Shun attacks, ready to avenge his master, but falls victim to the Royal Demon Roses. Shun thinks back to his training on Andromeda Island while training with Reda, Spica, and June. Shun was willing to try the Sacrifice Ritual to earn the Andromeda Bronze Cloth. June tried to get him to quit and go back to Japan, as she was worried about him. Shun, however, was determined to go through with it and go back to Japan with the Cloth, to see Ikki again. Before the ritual, Shun defeated Spica and Reda. The ritual consisted of Shun being tied to rocks by the Andromeda Chain. If he burned his Cosmos to the limit and cut the chain, he will earn the Andromeda Cloth. Albiore believed that a Saint should also have a heart as kind as Shun's, and wanted to see that he could prove it. Shun burned and exploded his Cosmos, allowing him to break the chain, earning the Andromeda Bronze Cloth. Back to the present, Shun stands up, ready to fight again. With Shun's Circle Chain, he is able to block Aphrodite's Royal Demon Rose with Rolling Defense and repel the attack. Shun tries to end the battle with his Thunder Wave, but a black rose stops the attack.
