The Bishops and Lloyd’s companions do their best to fend them off, while the story briefly shifts to a flashback from several days prior.It’s revealed that Lloyd had volunteered to perform at the Great Advent Festival, already suspecting the Pope to be the mastermind behind the chimera experiments. His reasoning was simple: only someone with immense time, influence, and wealth could operate such a lab, and the Pope fit the profile perfectly.Back in the present, Guitane becomes convinced that Lloyd is not just a prince but some god. He shatters Lloyd’s Luxa and sets his sights solely on eliminating him. He doesn’t care about killing the King or Jihreil anymore.Meanwhile, Grim takes Jihreil and rushes to finish subduing the chimeras in the city so he can return to support Lloyd. He worries that Lloyd’s tendency to see potential in everyone, including Guitane, could cause him to act recklessly.Lloyd in the flashbacks (Image via Tsumugi Akita Animation Lab)Elsewhere, Lloyd’s allies are each drawn into battle. Bishop Anastasia clashes with Sylpha, while high-ranking chimeras confront the others. Tao faces Shakra, a wraith-possessed chimera with a long-standing grudge against Tao’s dojo, Hyakkaken. Crow and Bishop Batts take on the SS-Rank dragon chimera, while Galilea and Talia confront a chimera claiming to be none other than Grimoire.Despite her human limitations, Tao defeats Shakra and his Rakkaken technique. She also grants him the acknowledgment he had yearned for in life and after, allowing him to pass on peacefully. Meanwhile, Galilea and Talia struggle to determine which Grim is real, knowing the one they’ve fought beside is far too "lovely" to be a vicious demon.Just as they’re lost in doubt, the real Grim arrives, this time in a human-like form. He effortlessly eradicates the impostor with overwhelming power and instructs them to exorcise it. Apparently, the wraith was only an ancient sorcery researcher and Grimoire’s fan. Grim also instructs Galilea to seal the city’s rifts that are summoning the chimeras and leaves.Galilea and Talia are left stunned, reeling at the sight of this unexpected, almost unrecognizable version of Grim, closing the episode with an exciting turn.What to expect in I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince season 2 episode 9?
