Chocolove McDonell overs ouled Pascal Avaf but can not do it fast enough. Lyserg uses Morphine to save everyone and readies himself to fight his old officiant. Bron is revealed to have spider webs under his feet to keep himself up. Lyserg pulls out his X-Laws gun and aims at Bron saying that he will defeat him. Bron wonders how Lyserg would achieve that as he had already killed Tao Ren with a single blow. He then points at Usui Horokeu and notice how they won't have Furyoku to revive one another forever and then kills Horokeu.

Lyserg becomes agitated and points his gun at Bron although he is stopped by Yoh who notes that Bron must have a strange and secret power seeing that he was willing to kill. Bron notes how he should have killed Yoh first but explains about the Patch Song and begins singing it as his spiders rearrange the web holding the invaders. Lyserg over souls his new Archangel and Morphine and moves behind Bron to surprise attack him. Bron however dodges thanks to the web he had layed out over the entire area and attacks but the attack is burned down by Lyserg. Lyserg smacks Bron across the face but Bron powers up. Bron is burned by Lyserg but gets right back up and hits Lyserg in the chest seemingly killing him and turn somehow turns mad.

Iron Maiden Jeanne is however unlocked and is quick to create a guillotine with Over Soul and chops off Bron's arm. Jeanne oversouls another torture device locking Bron in a head and leg torture device. Bron however tells her not to underestimate his Furyoku and increases his power more and creates a spider body by covering his entire body in his Over Soul. Bron quickly attacks Jeanne but to his surprise is stopped by Lyserg, who reveals that the glasses Marco Lasso gave him was bulletproof.

Bron readies himself to finish the fight, but Lyserg uses his Over Soul's many arms to hold Bron telling Bron that can't do anything as him seeing Lyserg alive, disturbed his heart. Lyserg then thanks Bron for everything and unleashes his Cremation attack killing Bron by burning his body within a large vortex of fire. Bron falls to the bottom of his plant dead and Yoh and company move on. His dead body was last seen lying next to Jean who was praying.

He later appears, together with all the other Patch Priests, within the Great Spirit.
