Arifureta season 2 recap
Arifureta season 2 commenced with the students returning to the castle with the news of Kaori joining Hajime's party. On the other hand, Hajime's party reached the Gruen desert where they helped a noble by defeating a plague and then traveled to the nearby labyrinth. The labyrinth was inside a volcano and while exploring, they were attacked by the demon army's commander Freid.
Despite critically injuring Hajime, Freid had to make a narrow escape as he trapped Hajime's party inside the volcano, After escaping the trap, the party reached the Sea City of Erisen where they met Myuu's mother. They then left Myuu with her mother and traveled to the nearby labyrinth to explore it.
While exploring, they meet Liliana who tells them about the critical condition of the empire as Hajime's party decided to help her. As they reached the Empire, they met the ninth apostle of Tortus's god Ehit Noint who was planning on destroying the Empire. Moreover, Freid was also marching towards the Empire with his army of hundreds of demons.
Hajime's party split up into two groups and took care of matters. Where Yue and the other defeated Freid, compelling him to escape, Hajime single-handedly defeated Noint. Inside the castle, Eri also came out as the traitor and used her Necromancer abilities to make every dead student an undead soldier.
Fortunately, Hajime's party arrived in time and took care of matters. Afterwards, Freid returned and challenged Hajime to destroy his demon army which Hajime easily did using a space weapon he developed. After the escape of the antagonists, the Empire decided to unite with Hajime as his party would help Liliana negotiate with the higher-ups of the Hoelscher Empire.
