I agree with you to some extent. Maxim somehow was able to keep his true self up to the point where he managed to rescue Lydie, but at that point he had reached his limit and cannot control himself any longer. When he says he'll make Juste to kill him, his portrait changes to that of his evil self, complete with a red aura around him, which may imply his evil side has finally taken over, although still using Maxim's final wish to challenge Juste in a final battle.

I remark the portrait change because in Japanese (media) storytelling like this, they generally make it very clear when a phenomenon of such nature (either mental, magical, spiritual, etc.) takes place, leaving no doubt the change was made by an external force. The same could be said by the frequent use of over exposition that almost always happens when a character tells a story, refers to an item, or talks about a power.
