Fighting Wings is an adaptation of the "Angel Eater" story arc in the manga, which simultaneously introduced the goddess Lind to the story. However, the TV anime series made a divergence from the manga and introduced Lind during its adaptation of the Lord of Terror story arc.

Urd and Peorth are both attacked and incapacitated when they lose their angels. Lind, reminiscing about her past failures and her warlike nature, is comforted by Belldandy. Belldandy agrees to act as a lure for the Angel Eater while Lind stands guard, but once Lind loses consciousness and Belldandy is attacked, Lind realizes that the Angel Eater is within herself. Hild appears and reveals her plan to force devils into goddesses by consuming their angels and replacing them, turning them into demonesses.

Lind rushes outside to save Keiichi and Skuld but discovers that they have easily captured Marller. The Angel Eater's attack, however, forces Lind, Skuld, and Keiichi to retreat. They devise a plan to defeat Hild, despite Skuld's protests. Hild interrupts them and attacks, forcing Skuld to summon her angel. However, the Angel Eater draws Skuld's angel toward her, and Keiichi summons one of Lind's angels to catch Hild in a trap. Hild reveals Belldandy, who has been converted into a demoness and now holds a devil. Lind, Skuld, and Keiichi can defend themselves against Belldandy, but Belldandy converts the devil into an angel. Lind, inspired by Keiichi, starts to duel against Hild, but Hild loses control of the Angel Eater, so Hild and Marller run away. As Lind begins to lose faith in her own ability to defeat the Angel Eater, Belldandy inspires her to continue. With Belldandy's urging and support, Lind summons both of her angels at once and easily defeats the Angel Eater. After rebuilding the destroyed temple and exchanging parting words, Lind returns to Heaven.
