Things would dramatically change when his lover, Makai Priestess Akari, was dying from illness. Angered by the fact he dedicated a lifetime to protect the innocent, but unable to save Akari, he turned his back on his vows as a knight to suit his needs. Desperate to save Akari, he would dare to use any method, even if it's dark forces, to save Akari. Unfortunately, Akari's body couldn't hold anymore. Unwilling to let her go, he concocted a highly ambitious plan: use the Seed of Eyrith to resurrect Akari.

Garo : The Makai Flower
When the Ady Slate was first uncovered, Eiji broke into the museum it was displayed in and used a charm and a dagger to undo the seal to free Eiris and the nine Slab Horrors. By then, he waited and orchestrated some of the events leading to Mayuri sealing most of the Slab Horrors, while also ensuring the revival of the Horror. Eventually, Eiji reveals himself and fights both Raiga Saejima and Crow, initially gaining the upper hand, until Eiris awakens and flies off by possessing Crow.
Still seeing this as a means of reviving Akari, he challenges Raiga once again, this time battling in their Makai Armors. Eventually, Raiga convinces him to abandon his desires. Eiji was left distraught, as Raiga follows the possessed Crow. When Raiga was transformed into a Lost Soul Beast and controlled by Eyrith, Eiji arrives and assists Crow in helping fight off and eventually calm the raging Raiga down.
