Best moments from Delicious in Dungeon episode 15

The 15th episode of Delicious in Dungeon began with Laios and his party awakening to the realization that the dungeon floor they were on was undergoing a transformation. They hypothesized that the deranged sorcerer was behind the changes, attempting to hinder their escape from the dungeon.

As they continued towards the surface, Laios and his party encountered dryads and engaged in a battle with them.

Despite initially appearing to be winning, the party’s fortunes took a turn for the worse after defeating a dryad. The creature’s corpse released numerous spores, causing Laios, Senshi, and Chilchuck to suffer from severe hay fever.

In addition to affecting their senses, it also caused their eyes to close and their nose to run, ultimately impacting their ability to fight.

Despite the challenge, Senshi managed to defeat the dryads with the help of Chilchuck, who utilized his enhanced senses as a thief. With the victory secured, the group collected the dryad’s fruit, only to discover that they were actually pumpkins with human-like features. As they continued on their journey, Marcille used her healing powers to relieve everyone’s hay fever and even offered to teach Laios some magic so they wouldn’t have to rely on her alone.

Despite his initial hesitance, Laios eventually agreed to learn magic at Marcille’s insistence. With her guidance, he quickly grasped the fundamentals of basic healing magic and was even able to heal some of Marcille’s wounds to the point where they fully healed.

Despite using magic for the first time in his life, Laios was rendered unable to move due to mana sickness. While Marcille, Chilchuck, and Senshi continued to explore their surroundings, they stumbled upon a Cockatrice. This creature had the ability to turn anyone it bit into stone. Despite successfully defeating the beast, Marcille fell victim to its bite and was transformed into a statue.

During the following days, Laios, Chilchuck, and Senshi tried various methods to reverse Marcille’s petrification while also using her petrified body as a pickle press.

The conclusion of Delicious in Dungeon episode 15 saw Marcille being cured of her petrification and subsequently reprimanding the group for using petrified individuals as pickle presses.

Conclusion

The main focus of Delicious in Dungeon episode 15 was to introduce new plot points related to the elves’ connection to dark magic and Laios’ hidden magical abilities, rather than advancing the existing plot. The next episode, episode 16, is scheduled to premiere on April 18, 2024 on Netflix.
