A brief recap of Ishura Episode 3: “Nihilo the Vortical Stampede and Kia the World Word”
At the Auretia Central Detention Center, Hidow was briefed by a soldier on losing communication with ten members of the New Principality. Although the issues of the division were not his concern, Hidow had to act on the matter, given that the Third Minister, Jelki, had ordered him.
He revealed a strategy to the soldier to station his men in the hollow ground that a stream had carved out by a stream that could help them avoid wyverns. Later, Hidow unlocked the prison cell containing Nihilo the Vortical Stampede, to send her on a new mission. Hidow described Nihilo as the most horrific bioweapon ever created by mankind.
The second segment of the episode saw the debut of Elea the Red Tag, the Seventeenth Minister of Auretia. Elea was in some village that was off the records, and as she was to leave the place with her student, she decided to bathe one last time in the hot springs, where she encountered Yawika, an elfen child, who was fond of her.
Later, Elea regrouped with her student, Kia the World Word, whom she described as the child prodigy whose capabilities defy every fundamental rule. Kia was capable of doing anything she wished without the need to understand the target object and using special incantations. Unbeknownst to Kia, Elea lied about enrolling her in a school in Auretia.
Elea’s intention with Kia was to enlist her in the Imperial competition, where she could easily outshine others. Since Elea was aware of her movements being tracked, she decided to give away the location of the village that was off the grid, a price she was willing to pay to avoid any hurdles getting in her way.
What to expect from Ishura Episode 5
Ishura Episode 5 is titled “Higuare the Pelagic and Nastique the Quiet Singer.” The upcoming installment will explore the mandrake gladiator and an angel, who play a pivotal role in the storyline. Employed by Taren the Guarded as a mercenary, Higuare is described as a calm and passive individual who follows orders without question.
Higuare appeared for the first time in the second episode when he was transported to Lithia and was attacked by enemy wyverns. The other character, Nastique, is a literal angel who wields authority over death itself.
