2. Shangri-La Frontier Season 2 Episode 15 Recap
Episode 15 of Shangri La Frontier started with Sunraku being spit out by the Lycagon after it chewed him for a bit. Sunraku, who expected the curse to be gone at this point, was shocked to see that the markings on his body had increased and even extended to his back. It would seem that those who had managed to defeat Lycagon’s clone would no longer be seen as prey but as an enemy worth defeating. Furthermore, the effect of this mark would cause him to be targeted more by high level monsters, and the only way to have the curse removed is to defeat the main body of the Lycagon.
While most of the effects seemed to be pretty useless or annoying to Sunraku, the one good outcome from defeating the Lycagon was the reward he received. The item acts as a radar that can detect the presence of the Lycagon, given that it is in the user’s proximity. After this, the group challenged the area boss, Usurper Dragon, and after much time, they defeated it.
The next scene saw Sunraku’s party heading to Fifticia, where they found out that Akitsuakane accidentally made her avatar her own face, so she walked around wearing a mask at all times. The most important event that happened in episode 15 of Shangri-La Frontier season 2 was the reveal of Arcanoom, the Monk of Awakening. He appears in front of characters after they reach level 99 to help them unlock a special sub-job: Arcanum.
This sub-job can grant a player certain boots in exchange for minor demerits. On knowing this, he decided to take the risk, so he had Arcanoon pick out his new Arcanum. The arcanum he received was called “The Fool.” In exchange for the inability to heal his body ailments and wounds, he got the ability to half his skill cast time, which was a huge jackpot for Sunraku. Arcanoom then warned Sunraku and told him that even a minor illness would prove to be a far greater threat than before. He discarded this warning without much thought.
3. What To Expect In Episode 16 of Shangri-La Frontier Season 2
Episode 15 of Shangri-La Frontier saw the end of the current arc, so there isn’t much we can predict about the direction in which the next arc will start. Since the episode ended with the entry of Mordo and Rust, we can expect them to be involved in the story of the upcoming arc. Rust even mentioned that she was itching for action since she was logging in after six months.
The Abyss City Arc of Shangri-La Frontier Season 2 has been announced, and from the trailer, we know exactly who is involved in it. The last scene in episode 14 revealed the octopus-type monster, Ctarnidd of the Abyss. Not much is known about its involvement, but since one of the Seven Colossi has been featured, the next arc is sure to be promising.
