Episode Title:
The Magic Castle of Spirits
Episode Description:
Light, Lena and Ayla are sent to investigate the castle of the deceased adventurer Count Montes where 18 adventurers have recently disappeared. Lena senses the job might be more dangerous than they can handle. Arriving, they find hundreds of adventurers dead and turned into zombies. Light hesitates to attack but Lena helps him understand it will end their suffering. Light is impressed by Lena, who has mastered her Sword Saint skill, whereas he is still learning to use Sword God. Wondering why undead seem drawn to the area they head deeper into the castle. Inside, a mysterious woman looks forward to killing "the Fruitmaster." Ayla appraises that the undead are tamed servants belonging to a powerful necromancer. Following the threads of magic they enter the ballroom and meet Dratena, whose skill lets her control corpses and spirits. She reveals her employers want Light assassinated. Lena is distracted by several of her undead friends, leaving Light to protect Ayla alone. Lena exorcises her friends, who thank her before passing on. Struggling to protect Ayla Light has her climb on his back. Elsewhere, Holy Sister has a vision of a shadow covering the moon, which she interprets as good news for her future plans.
