Ep. 67: The Great Purification Spell Faces Peril as Popp Fails to Power His Insignia

The purification ritual is on the verge of failure because Popp cannot activate his insignia. Zaboera arrives to execute a trap, summoning a horde of monsters to attack the warriors defending the party. He specifically attempts to assassinate Popp using a poisoned dagger. In response to this immediate threat, Merle places herself in the line of fire to shield Popp from the attack. This intervention highlights the critical danger facing the group as their defensive capabilities are compromised by Popp's inability to contribute to the ritual, leaving them vulnerable to Zaboera's coordinated assault and the overwhelming number of enemies deployed against them.
