Recap of The Witch and the Beast Episode 4
Episode 4 begins with the narrator describing necromancy and a necromancer's role in resurrecting the dead. Following this, the episode shows Ashaf and Guideau speaking to a client, assuring her to contact the Order of Magical Resonance if a magic-related case comes up.
At that moment, they notice an "undead" running towards them. Ashaf takes care of the threat and lets the police handle the rest. It is disclosed that an undead can get out of control if left without maintenance from a necromancer.
The authorities inform him that there are several cases such as this. Since Ashaf and Guideau aren't experts on cases regarding necromancy, they recommend an enigmatic duo. Following this, the episode introduces Phanora Kristoffel and her servant Johan.
The necromancy specialist duo finds out that an unregistered necromancer, whom Phanora calls a Stray, has been consistently raising deceased people to life as undead without their permission. She also divulges several interesting facts on necromancy.
Elsewhere, a woman is seen crying over the burial ground of her deceased beloved. A person appears and assures her that they will use necromancy to bring him back. The mysterious figure also compliments the girl's red hair.
Back to the office, Phanora brings out a magical lantern to attract the undead. To everyone's shock, numerous resurrected undead appear and they break through the glass to enter the room. Thankfully, Johan takes care of them on Phanora's behalf.
The necromancy-specialist woman then reveals that there are three types of undead, namely auto, semi-auto, and manual. She mentions that the lantern only attracts auto or semi-auto ones.
However, she cannot fathom as to why the necromancer resurrected them in the first place. Yet Johan discovers that every undead has red hair, which becomes a vital clue to solving the mystery.
Following the undead's trail, the duo, accompanied by their client, arrives at an abandoned mansion, where several resurrected beings confront them. The main perpetrator uses a manual undead to speak to Phanora and others and asks to follow some instructions.
At that moment, the client shockingly notices that her deceased wife has also been turned into an undead. The necromancer then orders an undead to severely injure Johan so that they can get information out of Phanora. The episode ends with the red-haired undead asking them to come inside the house.
What to expect in The Witch and the Beast episode 5
Given the latest installment covered chapters 6 and 7 from Kosuke Satake's dark fantasy manga, fans can expect The Witch and the Beast episode 5 to adapt the next two chapters.
In other words, The Witch and the Beast episode 5 will conclude the Beauty and Death case, and reveal the actual motive of the necromancer. Besides that, fans can also expect to see a different side of Phanora and Johan.
