What can you expect from Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 Episode 5?

The animus surge must be addressed first. The surge that ended the past episode threatens to collapse the whole dungeon. Master now considers his last chance, and Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 Episode 5 will show us what this plan is and what it requires.
The Lich is another problem to follow now. After all, he fell only an instant before the surge began, which means that the danger is not over yet. All the flashbacks about the children from the experiments are leading to something greater. Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 Episode 5 may connect all the dots, while the dungeon storyline nears an end.
What happened in Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 Episode 4?

Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 Episode 4 opens with the six skeleton knights of the Lich appearing at the front of the squad. Jean uses the Netherlord's staff to purify the knights and other undead. However, the Lich travels instantly through space. Thus, Jean had to spend his life essence.
Then, the Lich tells about his powers and his intent to demoralize Fran. Master notices a seal preventing other users from using space and time magic. Meanwhile, Stefan destroys the animus engine located outside the room with the boss.
In the midst of the battle, Stefan makes his way back, enabling the wounded party to join the fray once again. Master appropriately steals the master skill of the Lich. At long last, the purification spell by Jean and the attacks from Fran start to take their toll on the Lich and bring him down.
However, relief is short-lived as a powerful surge of energy emerges to engulf the dungeon. Master thinks of something extraordinary just as the episode comes to a close.
