Following the catastrophic defeat of the Dark Lord Shabranigdu, Lina Inverse and her dim-witted but fiercely loyal swordsman companion, Gourry Gabriev, find themselves on a desperate quest to restore the legendary Sword of Light. Their search brings them into contact with Xellos, a mysteriously cheerful priest, and uncovers a dangerous power struggle over the Claire Bible—an ancient text holding the ultimate secrets of water-element magic and the world's true history. As demon lords emerge from the shadows to claim the book, Lina must master the volatile, reality-warping powers of the Giga Slave, risking the total annihilation of existence just to save her friends. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSlayers NEXT (Season 2) is a 26-episode high-fantasy anime epic produced by Easy Film (E\u0026amp;G Films) directed by Takashi Watanabe, written by Jiro Takano, and based on Hajime Kanzaka’s blockbusting light novel series published under Fujimi Shobo's Fantasia Bunko imprint.
