Recap of the previous episode

The most recent installment of this 2025 winter anime picks up where the previous episode left off. The mysterious demon before the protagonist introduces himself as Ainswelf and explains that he was sealed for several centuries. With this revelation, he unleashes a powerful attack that breaks the entrance of Istoria, and Shion barely manages to save Brigitte, Raphina, and Grast.

The protagonist realizes he is the only one who can see Shion's magic and decides to aid Grast's last stand so the girls can help the civilians evacuate the city. Meanwhile, Cole takes care of the people wounded by the destruction of Ainswelf, and Shion begins to fight the demon, who he discovers is also a vampire, during their clash.

The last portion of the episode focuses on Shion's battle with Ainswelf, where the latter proves to be a superior user of magic. The fight also reveals that the protagonist possesses magic due to his unique lineage. However, Grast's surprise attack, backed by Gawain's return, fails, and Shion barely survives because Raphina steps in to help. Ainswelf tries to turn Shion into a vampire by biting him, but the latter is unaffected. The viewers then learn that the fairies blessed him, thus making him immune.

This leads to Ainswelf's moment of weakness since the protagonist's blessed blood has poisoned him. Shion then uses his knowledge of magic to gain the upper hand and deliver the finishing blow.
