What to expect from The Eminence in Shadow episode 9?

The ninth episode of The Eminence in Shadow is titled Itsuwari no Hate, which roughly translates to End of Lies. Episode 9 will see an enthralling battle between the Cult of Diablos and the Shadow Garden. As Iris Midgar deems both organizations a threat to the Midgar Kingdom, fulfilling her duties as the strongest Dark Knight, she won’t back down from drawing her sword against anyone who gets in her way.

The upcoming episode will also explore Sherry Barnett’s character and reveal how her mother, Lukreia, died and how Lutheran became her foster father. Using the Shadow Garden name to wreak havoc around the Kingdom, the Cult of Diablos has successfully managed to ruin the organization’s reputation, so how the actual member would redeem the people’s faith in them will be revealed after the episode airs.

A brief recap of the previous episode

Cid purposely faked his death because he knew the members of the Cult of Diablos would vacate the entire classroom to gather the students in the auditorium, leaving his corpse behind. Using his magic to control the blood flow, Cid risked his life, as it was the only way to escape the enemy's sight. He began killing his enemies one by one in stealth.

Glen and Marco defended Sherry and helped her escape with the artifact. As Sherry wasn’t very good at sneaking away from the enemies, Cid stepped in and watched her back. Later, Cid learned about the functioning of the Eye of Avarice and the artifact in Sherry's possession.

As Sherry was able to activate the artifact to nullify the Eye of Avarice, Cid headed towards the laboratory to gather the required ingredients and tools. Cid encountered Rex on his way and defeated him without breaking a sweat.

Nu reported to Cid that Gamma was leading the Shadow Garden and that the Dark Knights were in position. The latter surprised the former by saying he would be fine-tuning the artifact to resume the magic flow within the academy.
