The release of Helck episode 17 is just around the corner, and the action-comedy series has suddenly taken a melancholic turn.
In episode 16, Cless’ close friend Zeruzeon arrives and exposes the truth about the King’s plan to turn all citizens into awakened soldiers and depriving them of their humanity. Helck, Edil, and Alicia decide to help Zeruzeon stop this scheme. They venture to the King’s castle to save Cless, encountering awakened soldiers and confirming the council’s involvement.
When the King becomes a threat to Alicia and the group, a conflict ensues where Cless is compelled to harm them. Alicia uses the Hero Slayer sword to wound Cless, leading to a shocking turn of events involving Mikaros. The episode ends with Mikaros injuring Helck with the stolen sword.
For the upcoming episode, though the king is a potential threat to Alicia, it is still early to determine whether or not she would die. Despite this, fans seem excited to see how the narrative will unfold.
