Radiant: The existence of Nemesis
Eggs

In Radiant, Nemesis is a giant egg that falls from nowhere and hatches into a monster. There are many different forms of Nemesis, and normal humans cannot defeat them. The eggs are characterized by their striped pattern, and you never know where they will fall. That's also scary.

They fall from outside the planet like this. The impact of the fall seems to be quite strong, and they fell into the middle of the town of Pompo Hills, where the main character Seto lives. If an egg like this suddenly fell on you, you would panic, right?
How to defeat Radiant
The only one

Only wizards can defeat Nemesis. Normal humans can only faint when fighting him, but they cannot defeat him completely. That means only magic can be used to deal with him. Although he is a wizard who deserves to be treated as a hero, he is despised in this world as an "infected person" and a "demon." It's unfair, isn't it?

This Nemesis is very soft, and no striking attacks worked on him. In the end, Alma, who is also Seto's master, managed to defeat him with a single slash. As you can see, each Nemesis has its own characteristics.
Radiant Mythology

Nemesis is a famous goddess who appears in Greek mythology. Nemesis is said to be the personification of the wrath and punishment that comes from humans' disrespectful attitudes and actions towards the gods. In mythology, she is a beautiful woman with wings. Nemesis is said to mean "righteous indignation," which is essentially an expression of anger toward immoral acts and evil deeds. Although this is only speculation, Nemesis in Radiant may also be a very sacred being like a god. If this is the case, then she would be a mass of anger. What is the truth?!
Radiant: Nemesis that have appeared so far (as of episode 9 of the anime)
① Masked Nemesis

This is the first Nemesis to appear in the story, who appears in the rural town of Pompo Hills. He is wearing a mask and is almost as big as a three-story house. Its round form is very cute, but when it gets angry, its mask rotates to form an angry face and it shoots out a powerful beam that can destroy the city. If it hits you with such force, you'll never be able to return to this world.
②Dragon-like Nemesis

This is Nemesis that Alma met when she still had her memories. We don't know the details, but it seems that Seto was born in this city. After fighting this Nemesis, Alma lost her memories and met Seto. This is the hated Nemesis.
③Large Nemesis

This is Nemesis, about five times larger than the Inquisitor's large ship. It attacks with the horn at the tip, and its power is the strongest. It floats in the sky and searches for the city. The ship of Inquisitor Captain Dragunov sank it. Its size will make you lose your will to fight.
