Episode 5

Daughter of the Demon King is the fifth episode of the Black Summoner anime series.

Summary


An exhilarated Kelvin tells Victor of his excitement fighting against him, and his opponent humors him by casting the black magic spell Hades Army. The spell resurrects a group of demons from one of the skeleton piles nearby, and with a snap of his finger, Victor orders the monsters to attack. Kelvin notes that the monsters are B Ranked and, with his wand, casts Wind Shot to destroy a small pack of them while Gerard helps him take out the rest. Victor compliments the twos skills and then uses a smoke bomb to conceal his presence and launch a sneak attack. However, Kelvin could sense his presence and alerts Gerard, who immediately counterattacks. Despite this, Victor overwhelms Gerard and directs his attention to Kelvin, who has Clotho use Magic Absorbtion on him and then casts Glory's Sanction. The attack binds Victor's left arm, but it's not enough to hold him. Hence, Kelvin casts Vortex Edge to enchant Gerard's sword. As Gerard goes to attack Victor, the demon tries to launch a sneak attack against Kelvin, who had Efil reveal herself and shoot her Blaze Arrow at Victor. With Victor's right arm charred beyond use, Gerard then slices off his left arm.

Although pleased by this outcome, Kelvin has the group fall back as his Glory's Sanction just expired. Victor compliments the group for doing the second most significant damage ever done to him and blames losing his edge from the peace of that era. However, Victor wasn't going to give up and casts Djinn Scrimmage on himself to enshroud himself in a dark, ominous force. To prevent the spell from finishing being cast, Kelvin, Efil, and Gerard each cast a spell or use a skill against Victor, but they're too late. Kelvin then has Gerard use his Loyalty skill to max power. Once Victor lunges at the group, Kelvin casts Earthen Rampart to block him, but he breaks through it, forcing Gerard to use his shield as a last resort defense. Victor then manages to get the upper hand on Gerard, but before he can attack him any further, Efil distracts Victor's attention with some arrows. It allows Gerard to launch a counterattack against Victor, who then is overwhelmed by Clotho spitting out all of the failed weapons Kelvin created at him. A trifecta attack launched by Kelvin, Efil, and Clotho causes Victor to be slammed against a wall and for rubble from a pillar to topple over toward  Sera Baal. Quickly, Victor catches and moves the piece of rubble that would have crushed Sera, moves it to the side, and faints on his back while conceding defeat. Kelvin then calls out Victor's lie to eat Sera, to which he answers that if he didn't lie, Kelvin's party wouldn't have fought as hard as they did against him. To his admission, Gustav entrusted Victor with protecting Sera as her caretaker.

A flashback shows Victor's past as the caretaker for Sera. In it, Victor is shown training Sera in magical pugilism. Eventually, the Hero's party attacked the Demon King's castle. Although King Gustav's life was in danger, he put a seal on Sera that only a human could break and sent her to a faraway place where she'd be safe. When Victor finally found Sera, he'd protect her and wait for the hero to be long since dead and for an era of peace to revive her so she could become the next Demon King. Before he dies, Victor asks that Sera join Kelvin's party and refuses to join Kelvin's party since his loyalty only lies with Gustav. Kelvin then breaks the seal on Sera, and when she awakens, she tearfully curses Victor and her father for their selfishness.



Outside, the party is met by Urd, who is shown proof of subjugation of the demon in the dungeon. Urd accepts the item, but asks who the lady Kelvin was carrying on his back was, and Kelvin answers that it was someone the demon-possessed. In truth, it was Sera wearing a Camouflage Hairpin to hide her wings and horns. Afterward, Kelvin evolves Gerard into an Abyssal Knight Commander. After Kelvin has a brief conversation with Sera, he and his party take Sera to Parth and show her around a bit. Later Kelvin reports to the Adventurer's Guild about successfully subjugating the demon in the dungeon, which elevates him to Rank A in the guild. The receptionists and other guild members would celebrate this accomplishment back at the inn. Sometime after the party, Sera notes exciting the outside world is and remembers a memory of her with Victor.
