Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 5 picked up from the ending of episode 4, with Atou confronting Qualia's forces, including the two paladins Verdel and Lornius. Although both of the paladins were ready to engage Atou in combat, Verdel decided to first send out the messengers to notify Qualia of Atou's rather disastrous existence.

Unfortunately for Verdel, Atou had predicted his plan and solely targeted the messengers, leaving them no practical way to send word to Qualia. At their wits’ end, both Verdel and Lornius assume their position to take on Atou, realizing that her tentacles were the first obstacle that they needed to deal with.

Before engaging Atou in combat, Verdel went on to reveal how Qualia had been dealing with the rampage of a "witch" in the north. Atou might also be a witch, making their situation even more dire.

Both of the paladins then go on to activate their holy attributes in an attempt to defeat Atou, gaining a clear advantage simultaneously alongside the neutralization of Atou's tentacles. Unfortunately for them, Atou could summon an uncapped number of tentacles, which she uses to quickly impale Verdel.

Lornius dispersed the rest of the forces in a desperate attempt to send a message to Qualia. Following Verdel's defeat, Atou decided to engage Lornius, who was still using the paladin's holy abilities in hopes of stopping Atou in her tracks.

Unbeknownst to him, Atou had already absorbed both memories and abilities from Verdel, gaining the ability to use the holy attribute. Atou goes on to defeat and torment Lornius, making him aware of how everything would've been peaceful if only Lornius hadn't gone against Verdel's orders. Elsewhere, the dark elves simply dispose of the remnants of Qualia's forces.

Sometime later, Gia returned to witness Atou tormenting Lornius, moments before finally eliminating him. Curious, Gia asks whether Atou really meant everything she said to Lornius.

Atou simply answers that she didn't mean any of it, since she's a pacifist and all of the verbal attacks were simply a form of harassment. Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 5 ended with Atou seeking forgiveness from Takuto for her overzealous demeanor towards Qualia, only for Takuto to simply shrug it off like nothing.

Final thoughts

Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 5 sets the overall role that Mynoghra would adopt throughout the series, while also providing a glimpse into Takuto's demeanor towards those not belonging to Mynoghra. Future episodes will be available for streaming on Crunchyroll and Muse Asia's YouTube channel.
