A brief recap of Ishura Episode 2: Alus the Star Runner
Ishura Episode 2 kicked off with the narrator describing the city, the New Principality of Lithia, which was formerly governed and controlled by Auretia. However, after Taren the Punished declared independence for the regional city and also took control of the canal she possessed, the city separated from Auretia.
The episode then sees Lana the Moon Tempest traveling alongside Higuare Umitaru and Otogiri Shark in a carriage, getting attacked by a big group of wyverns and bandits. However, they luckily managed to survive without a scratch as Regnejee the Wings of Sunsets, the aerial wyvern commander of Lithia’s wyvern army, destroyed all the enemies in little to no time.
Shark, Higuare, and Lana realize that their target was Auretia, given that the perpetrator inciting attacks on Lithia was part of its government. Elsewhere at Auretia, two officials discussed how to assassinate Taren, as Lithia was slowly becoming a powerful threat, and they came up with the solution of orchestrating a “big accident” to make an example out of it.
Harghent the Still, the sixth general of the Auretian empire, headed to Tileet Ravine to hunt down Vikeon the Smoldering, a giant dragon. While waiting for his soldier to locate the beast’s lair, Hargent learned that Vikeon was heading his way.
Making a swift decision, his commander, Peke, pushed him several feet away from the tent to save his life, albeit at the cost of losing hers. Harghent noticed that Vikeon was already gravely injured, as if he had been in a battle a few moments ago.
Eventually, Vikeon revealed that his attacker was a wyvern, not a minia (human). Harghent tried to kill Vikeon by summoning a ballista using magic, but the weapon had no effect on the beast.
As Harghent was about to be toasted by Vikeon’s flames, Alus the Star Runner arrived and eventually defeated the giant dragon in seconds. Harghent didn’t like Alus interrupting his battle with Vikeon and even told him that he was not his friend, as being a general, it would be blasphemous for him to befriend a wyvern.
Since Vikeon was still alive, he landed a surprise attack on the duo, but Alus managed to defend himself and Harghent against the strong flames by employing The Greatshield of the Dead, a rare artifact that protects the wielder from any attacks. Eventually, Alus split Vikeon into two parts using Hillensingen, the Luminous Blade.
Harghent told Alus that Auretia was gathering heroes for the 29 officials and he could take part, but he was still adamant about not choosing him. Alus told Harghent that he was heading to the Great Labyrinth of Nagan in search of something of interest.
What to expect from Ishura Episode 3
Ishura Episode 3 is titled Dakai the Magpie and Regnejee the Wings of Sunset. Given the title, it can be expected that the coming episode will explore the two eponymous characters who play a pivotal role in the series. While Regnejee already made his grand debut in the recent episode, there is still a lot to learn about him.
Additionally, Dakai will be making his arrival in Ishura Episode 3. In the original light novel series, Dakai is described as an employee of Taren, working as a spy and gatherer of valuable weapons and artifacts for her to help her take down Auretia.
