Teresa explained that only a few Warriors could fight Abyssals, then Priscilla arrived and annihilated the organization's forces. Allen and the deserter Claymores blocked Dae's retreat and began taking revenge on the organization's leaders.

• Teresa told Milia and the others that Arisia, Bixi, and Lafana were among the rare Warriors able to fight Abyssals, and revealed that Lafana and Luciela had killed each other.
• Priscilla appeared over the battlefield, crushed Arisia, devoured her, and then killed Bixi and the abyss devourers.
• Dae ordered the organization's surviving leaders to retreat after their forces were wiped out.
• Sophia, Ine Lily, and dozens of deserter Claymores surrounded the organization's leaders, while Allen denied that he had planned the attack.
• A short-haired Claymore killed her former handler in front of Allen, who complained about blood splashing on his boots.

Allen and the Claymores confronted Dae, who unleashed an endlessly regenerating parasite and joined it, while the others began fighting the monster. On a separate battlefield, Clare attacked Priscilla to avenge Teresa but was swiftly overpowered and left facing the vast gap between them.

• Allen rejected Dae’s claims of cooperation and said the Claymores’ vengeance was for the Organization’s abuse of modified girls.
• Dae’s subordinate destroyed the device controlling the Abyss Devourers, and the parasite absorbed several Abyssal Ones and grew into a huge monster.
• Dae revealed that he had made himself part of the parasite, and Allen warned the Claymores that they needed to destroy it with a single overwhelming attack.
• Ine Lily attacked the monster, but it regenerated its severed tentacles, while Lulu escaped into the woods.
• Clare confronted Priscilla over Teresa’s death, but Priscilla caught Clare’s sword, threw her into a rock, and told her she was too weak to win.

Clare resolved to face Priscilla despite the overwhelming odds, but Teresa arrived and took Priscilla on herself. The Claymores began fighting Isley, Riful, and Dauf while another group battled Dae’s monster.

• Clare’s yoki surged as she demanded a sword so she could kill Priscilla, and Helen reluctantly gave her one.
• Galadria revealed that Priscilla had been the Organization’s No. 2 and had become queen of the awakened beings after Isley, Riful, and Dauf submitted to her.
• Teresa arrived, told the Claymores to handle the other three enemies, and hurled Priscilla into a distant cliff.
• Galadria cut off Isley’s arm, and the Claymores attacked the weakened Isley, Riful, and Dauf.
• Ine Lily fully awakened and unleashed a terrifying ability while fighting Dae’s monster elsewhere.

Ine Lily and the other Claymores struggled to contain Dae’s rapidly growing World-Destroying Demon, so Allen gave Sophia a tactical antimatter bomb under the pretense that he was not intervening. Sophia detonated it over the monster, destroying much of its mass, and celebrated the blast as Allen handed her two more bombs.

• Ine Lily used Severance to shred the monster’s tentacles, but they regenerated as the creature kept growing and devouring its surroundings.
• Sophia and Roar Road realized the warriors could not stop the monster’s expansion, while Allen offered to help by dropping an antimatter bomb for them to use.
• Sophia flew over the monster, activated the bomb, and threw it toward its center before escaping the blast area.
• The bomb’s explosion blinded nearby warriors, hurled Sophia away, and destroyed most of the monster within a one-kilometer radius.
• Sophia laughed at the explosion and asked Allen for more bombs, while Allen gave her two and observed that the monster had lost nearly half its life.

Allen captured the badly injured Dae, read the origins of the parasites from his memories, and left him to the Claymores’ vengeance while warning of a coming war against the organization’s backers. Elsewhere, Teresa provoked Priscilla by confronting her with her traumatic past, and Priscilla attacked her.

• Ine Lily and the Claymores searched the wreckage of the World-Destroying Demon and found Dae alive but gravely injured.
• Dae admitted that Allen had defeated him, and Allen invaded his mind to learn that the organization had cultivated the parasites from cells taken from an awakened Warrior.
• Allen warned Dae that he would lead a fleet against the nation backing the organization, then left as Ine Lily and the Claymores began torturing Dae.
• Isley, Riful, Clare, and the other fighters stared in shock at the Antimatter Bomb’s distant explosion while Teresa remained calm.
• Teresa described Priscilla’s traumatic childhood and argued that Priscilla had become the very kind of monster she hated.
• Priscilla charged Teresa in a rage, but Teresa blocked her attack, kicked her down, and stomped on her.

Teresa overwhelmed Priscilla but left her alive for Clare, while Milia revealed a phantom ability that wounded Riful. Allen watched from nearby and explained to Artoria that Milia’s power turned the fight into a tactical contest.

• Teresa repeatedly battered Priscilla, keeping the fight under control and leaving her for Clare to deal with.
• Galadria recognized that Teresa was suppressing Priscilla without using Yoki, while the others questioned who Teresa was.
• Dauf hardened his shell with life energy and knocked Helen and Clare aside when they tried to stop him.
• Milia created physical duplicates and used their phantoms to disappear from Riful’s attacks and slash her twice.
• Allen explained to Artoria that Milia’s phantom ability relied on rules and choices rather than simply overwhelming Riful with numbers.

The Claymores defeated Isley and Dauf, bringing the Old Era closer to its end, while Clare revealed the cutting power she had developed. Riful mourned Dauf as Artoria and Allen reflected on the organization’s role in creating the island’s suffering.

• Fūrola beheaded the exhausted Isley, who died after seeing Priscilla still fighting Teresa.
• Dauf charged toward Milia to help Riful escape, but Clare revealed her new ability and severed his limbs.
• Clare killed Dauf, and Riful cradled his head as she grieved.
• Artoria said the organization was responsible for the island’s suffering, while Allen warned that pity for Awakened Beings could not erase their victims.

Artoria and Allen discussed how he viewed enemies objectively and why he sought vengeance rather than destruction. As the battle against the Organization’s Abyssals continued, Allen sent Ine Lily to kill Riful, who was overwhelmed by Ine Lily’s awakened speed.

• Artoria told Allen that the Western Lands and Southern Lands would celebrate their merger in five days, and Allen said he wanted to avenge past wrongs during the coming expedition.
• Ine Lily reported that their people had cleared the forest of parasites, though the deep underground infestation would take months to remove.
• Allen and Ine Lily watched Teresa repeatedly cripple Priscilla and discussed Teresa’s fearsome reputation among the Warriors.
• Allen revealed that Clare’s flesh came from Teresa and predicted Clare might resemble Teresa after fully awakening, then sent Ine Lily to confront Riful.
• Ine Lily fully awakened and used her speed to slice Riful apart with invisible blades.

Ine Lily killed Riful after revealing the full power of her High-Speed Sword, while Clare began her personal battle with Priscilla. Allen arrived and invited the surviving Claymores to join him in destroying the organization and taking vengeance across the sea.

• Riful bound Ine Lily with her tentacles, but Ine Lily used a vastly accelerated High-Speed Sword to overwhelm her and reveal that Allen had already killed Dae and the organization's leadership.
• Riful died after asking Ine Lily to make the organization’s allies pay, leaving Priscilla as the last super Abyss on the battlefield.
• Clare rejected Milia's attempt to stop her and charged Priscilla after Teresa encouraged her to settle their personal grudge.
• Clare and Priscilla exchanged devastating blows, and Allen explained that Clare's sword ability came from her presence, resolve, and will.
• Allen arrived with more than a dozen defected Claymores, and Galadria pledged herself to him.
• Allen invited the surviving Claymores to join him in attacking the organization's headquarters and crossing the sea to punish the country behind it.

Allen recruited Milia and the surviving Claymore Warriors, then explained that the Organization was mass-producing Abyss Devourers. As Clare transformed into a second Teresa and overwhelmed Priscilla, the real Teresa wondered what their reunion and a possible journey with Allen would mean for her.

• Milia kissed Allen's ring and pledged her life to destroying the Organization, prompting the other Claymore Warriors to join him.
• Allen warned Fūrola, Cynthia, and the others that the Organization planned to mass-produce uncontrollable Abyss Devourers and said its executives would soon face their end.
• Clare released all her Yoki and appeared as a winged, smiling Teresa, leaving Ine Lily and the real Teresa shocked.
• Allen recognized that Clare's Teresa was a second personality formed from her memories, while she herself believed Teresa controlled her body.
• Clare's Teresa taunted Priscilla, dodged her attack, severed her arms, and explained how she concealed her Life Energy to catch opponents off guard.
• The real Teresa admitted she feared meeting Clare after a hundred years in Sky City, and Allen confirmed he wanted her as a companion but would not accept Clare as one.

Clare’s Teresa persona unleashed an evolved High-Speed Sword that seemingly destroyed Priscilla, then collapsed from exhaustion. As the warriors learned that the masked Teresa was genuine and Clare’s version was a copy of her memories, Priscilla’s flesh fused with a damaged Flesh Cocoon and began to transform.

• Priscilla regenerated stronger after each attack, so Clare’s Teresa persona concentrated her Yoki and Life Energy into an evolved High-Speed Sword.
• Clare’s Teresa persona and Priscilla attacked at once, and Allen shielded the watching Claymores from the devastation with Holy Light.
• Allen revealed that the Holy Light Church’s founder, Artoria, was his partner and that he was the true source of Holy Light energy.
• The real Teresa explained to Galadria that her soul had trained after death and that Clare’s Teresa persona was a copy of her memories.
• Clare’s Teresa persona’s strike left a vast ravine and no visible trace of Priscilla, but it exhausted Clare and knocked her unconscious.
• A damaged Flesh Cocoon fused with a piece of Priscilla, and a powerful heartbeat sounded as the creature inside began taking shape.

Allen transformed the Flesh Cocoon into a powerful but harmless-looking cat named Nancy, then prepared the Claymore Warriors for their march on the organization’s headquarters. Two days later, Lemoto and the other executives learned of their defeat and planned to flee by ship, unaware that Lulu had sabotaged it.

• Allen reshaped the Flesh Cocoon into a two-tailed, horned cat, named her Nancy, and explained that Clare could not be awakened yet, so Teresa took her to Sky City.
• Allen agreed to let the warriors rest overnight before heading east and enchanted their weapons and armor to strengthen them for the coming fight.
• The Claymore Warriors set out with Allen the next morning, leaving a few behind to deal with the aftermath of Dae’s battle.
• Two days later, Lemoto’s headquarters received news of Dae’s death and the alliance between the Western and Southern Lands, prompting the executives to prepare parasite weapons and plan their retreat by ship.
• Lulu revealed that he had secretly sabotaged the ship, intending to destroy it at sea with the executives aboard.

Allen and Teresa caught the organization's executives as they prepared to flee by sea, while the Claymores fought the organization's remaining forces near its headquarters. After Teresa brutally punished one executive, Lulu revealed he was a spy and asked Allen and Teresa for protection.

• Galadria, Milia, and Ine Lily led the Claymores against the organization's parasite-infected warriors, Yoma, and Awakened Beings.
• Teresa told Allen that Clare had awakened and was recovering, then joined him in pursuing the executives escaping through a secret sea cave.
• Allen and Teresa arrived at the hidden harbor and confronted Lemoto and the other executives as they waited for the tide to rise enough for their ship to leave.
• Allen ordered Teresa to mutilate an executive who insulted him, and she severed his limbs, destroyed his teeth, and forced him to swallow his tongue.
• Lulu revealed that he was a spy, claimed the sealed case of research materials, and requested protection from Allen and Teresa.

Allen revealed his plan to launch a war of vengeance across the sea and stopped Lulu from taking the Organization’s research back to the continent. Lulu tried to escape but was recaptured, and Allen handed him over to Nancy.

• Allen refused to let Lulu copy the research and explained that he planned to wage a war of vengeance against the continent.
• Lulu realized Allen had manipulated communications for years, then accused him of wanting to conquer the world.
• Teresa separated her soul from her body and explained how Allen had saved her after her apparent death.
• Lulu released hidden Awakened Warriors as a diversion and escaped aboard a biologically propelled speedboat.
• Teresa killed the Awakened Warriors and incapacitated the Organization’s executives, while a Guardian caught Lulu and returned him to Allen.
• Allen gave Lulu to Nancy, who transformed and tore flesh from him.

Allen and Teresa destroyed the Organization, and the Claymores decided to join Allen’s expedition against the country behind it. After reaching the prosperous Western Lands, the warriors headed to Allen’s residence to learn his next plans.

• Nancy devoured Lulu, and Allen explained to Lemoto that strength and rewards could tame even a super Abyss.
• Teresa destroyed the Organization’s ship, and the Claymores tortured the executives until Lemoto died, ending the Organization’s rule.
• Galadria told Milia that the Claymores would invade the country behind the Organization, and Ine Lily revealed she commanded the First Expeditionary Army Corps.
• Ine Lily relayed Allen’s plan to destroy the country’s ruling class and cultural inheritance, then told the warriors to gather at the largest port in the Western Lands.
• After five days of travel, Galadria, Milia, Sophia, Ine Lily, and the other Claymores arrived in the prosperous port city and set out for Allen’s residence.

Allen revealed that the Organization’s homeland had destroyed an ancient country on the island and turned its people into experimental subjects, then announced a War of Vengeance against that country. The expedition began taking shape as Allen assigned the Claymores to fight its modified warriors.

• Ine Lily arrived at the Lord’s Manor with silver-eyed Claymores as Allen prepared to announce his plans.
• Ine Lily explained that the Organization came from another continent and had created Yoma, Awakened Beings, and Claymores to serve a foreign country’s war.
• Allen revealed that the foreign country had destroyed an ancient island nation, and his illusion of the massacre drove the assembled officials to demand revenge.
• Allen ordered six army corps formed for the War of Vengeance, while merchants pledged support in exchange for exclusive rights to buy spoils of war.
• Artoria left for Space City, and Aria took over the Holy Light Church and agreed to send priests and Paladins to aid the expedition without participating in civilian massacres.
• Allen assigned the Claymores to Ine Lily’s First Army Corps to fight the continent’s thousands of modified warriors.

Allen led a massive expeditionary fleet from the newly united Western and Southern Lands to invade the continent, intending to reshape its history through the island's people rather than using his own power. The fleet reached a port city and opened its attack with cannon fire, devastating the defenders before the landing began.

• Allen's fleet departed after months of preparations, while he explained to Teresa his plan to weaken the continent's two rival nations and provoke their internal divisions.
• Allen told Teresa he intended Laki to succeed him, with Clare presented as his daughter and married to Laki to secure the loyalty of his forces.
• Teresa destroyed a giant sea creature that attacked their ship as the fleet crossed the ocean.
• Near the continent, the Second and Third Legions split off to target other ports while Ine Lily led the First Legion toward a port city Teresa had visited.
• The city's general mistook Allen's fleet for the enemy and sent modified male Claymores to defend the docks.
• Allen's warships fired cannon volleys from beyond the defenders' range, destroying their weapons and slaughtering the warriors at the harbor.

Allen’s fleet destroyed a border fortress city and began a campaign to destabilize the country behind the Organization by stripping villages of food and driving civilians toward unrest. Teresa left alone for the northwest to hunt the Dragon’s Descendants after Allen ordered their extermination, and she headed toward their mountain refuge.

• Allen ordered seven warships to bombard the fortress city for half an hour, leaving it in ruins and killing its commanding general.
• Iene Lily led the landing, and the Silver-Eyed Slayers killed the awakened male survivors while the soldiers searched for prisoners and supplies.
• Allen studied a map and planned to raid nearby settlements, burn crops and homes, and leave starving civilians with weapons to provoke rebellion.
• Teresa asked to travel alone to find the Dragon’s Descendants, and Allen agreed on the condition that she kill them all.
• Teresa set out for the snow-covered mountains in the northwest, where the Dragon’s Descendants had lived for generations.

Allen used the expeditionary army’s invasion to turn tens of thousands of displaced civilians against their rulers and set off waves of looting and violence across the continent. As Galadria watched the chaos spread, Allen credited his success to understanding how easily people could be influenced.

• The expeditionary army destroyed settlements near the fortress city, seized their food and valuables, and drove the civilians to the ruins.
• Allen rejected a merchant’s proposal to sell the prisoners as slaves and told the crowd that their rulers were responsible for the retaliatory war.
• Allen gave the prisoners ten days of rations, weapons, and armor, then urged them to take food from undefended villages and the estates of the ruling class.
• The prisoners split into rival groups that robbed one another before growing into armed bands and attacking settlements beyond the initial area.
• Galadria remarked that Allen’s words had thrown the country into chaos, and Allen said learning helped him understand the world and influence others.

Allen explained to Galadria that the uprising and ensuing atrocities served his plan to break the nation behind the Organization into smaller, divided states. As rebellions and invasions spread, the Emperor learned that an unknown fleet with powerful weapons was attacking the coastline and questioned whether another continent existed.

• Three rebel groups captured a major city, seized control of its modified warriors, and unleashed a massacre and widespread abuse.
• Galadria condemned the violence, but Allen explained that he intended to exploit internal divisions to dismantle the nation behind the Organization.
• Allen assigned Galadria to monitor the rebels and keep them from being crushed before they caused enough destruction.
• Slave uprisings and rebellions spread across the provinces as the nation’s old enemy advanced along the front lines.
• The Emperor questioned his assembled governors and generals about the rebellions, and an intelligence official reported attacks by a mysterious fleet armed with powerful black metal weapons.

The Emperor and his court realized that a mysterious fleet tied to the lost Organization was exploiting rebellion and food shortages to threaten their nation. Allen entered the Royal Court Meeting Room after Lemoto’s head was discovered, and the chapter ended as Allen effortlessly stopped and broke a general’s sword.

• The Emperor’s court linked the fleet’s attacks and the rebellion to the Organization and debated how to defend the capital while facing dwindling food reserves.
• An Imperial Guard reported that a bloody head had been hung from the Royal Plaza flagpole, and the palace guards failed to find whoever had placed it there.
• The court identified the head as Lemoto, the former head of the Dragon’s Descendants research institution, and discussed the dangerous modifications that could prolong a person’s life.
• Allen dropped through the ceiling, confirmed that the Organization had been destroyed, and calmly poured himself tea while the court fell into panic.
• A general attacked Allen, but an invisible force stopped the sword and broke it, sending a blade fragment toward the general’s neck.

Allen declared war on the Empire’s rulers and left them scrambling to investigate him and protect the Emperor. Meanwhile, Ine Lily’s First Expeditionary Army Corps used Cannons and Firearms to annihilate a much larger enemy force, leaving the war’s battlefield dominance unmistakable.

• Allen killed a general who attacked him, then told the Emperor and Royal Court that he commanded the fleet assaulting the Empire and had destroyed its shipbuilding capabilities and contact with the organization.
• Allen revealed that Lulu had been an Empire spy, delivered his declaration of war to the Emperor, and vanished through a portal.
• The Emperor ordered his intelligence chief to investigate Allen within a month and approved a round-the-clock guard of loyal female modified warriors.
• Allen returned to the plains, where Ine Lily’s First Expeditionary Army Corps faced an Imperial army sent to suppress the rebellion in the fallen provinces.
• Ine Lily ordered the Cannons and Musketeers to fire, and their barrage killed more than eighteen thousand enemy cavalry and infantry at the cost of a few weapon failures and casualties.

Allen and Ine Lily’s forces routed the invading army after its modified warriors turned on their own soldiers, while Allen anticipated that the enemy’s ruling elite would respond to defeat by creating more Awakened Beings. The chapter left the expeditionary force confident it could dismantle the enemy’s control, though the Knight Order worried that the continent’s other nation might seize the opportunity to expand.

• The general ordered his adjutant to flee toward the capital with news of the enemy’s firearms and artillery, while he stayed behind to lead the army.
• The general sent male warriors forward as cannon fodder, and Ine Lily ordered the Claymore Warriors and Knight Order members to attack before the warriors could awaken.
• Ine Lily and the Claymore Warriors killed enemy warriors, prompting the remaining males to awaken and attack their own infantry.
• The panicked army broke into a rout and an internal fight as deserters turned on their officers and the general.
• Allen explained that defeat would drive the Emperor to create more modified warriors and Awakened Beings, while a Knight Order member recognized that the enemy could be dismantled but feared the rival nation might take its territory.

Allen defeated an army sent to suppress the rebellion, executed its general, and sent Ine Lily to carry out the next stage of the occupation plan. He then found Teresa fighting a colossal dragon-like being that claimed to have created the Dragon's Descendants, and suspected he had uncovered the world's hidden history.

• Allen challenged the captured general's belief that ordinary soldiers owed their lives to their commanders, then killed him with Ninth Tier Magic, Heart Mastery.
• Allen told Ine Lily to absorb the rioters and restore order or drive them inland, and said he would warn the other expanding country himself.
• Allen arrived at the Dragon's Descendants' settlement, where Teresa had killed its inhabitants, and began collecting their heads to display as a warning.
• Allen heard a commotion and rushed to find Teresa battling a colossal dragon-like creature that regenerated from her attacks.
• The creature revealed that it had created the Dragon's Descendants as test subjects to reshape the world and restore the Dragon Race civilization, while Allen watched and concluded he had found the world's secret.

Allen uncovered the history of the Great Dragons and the origins of humanity, magic, and Yoki, then revealed that Kalikardos was the last source of the world's residual magic. Teresa killed Kalikardos, ending the old era's lingering threat and beginning a human age shaped by technology.

• Allen read Kalikardos's memories and learned that humans had been created by the Great Dragons and later destroyed the world's magical core during their war.
• Allen revealed Kalikardos's name and explained that it had created the Mother Body to produce Dragon's Descendants and revive dragon civilization.
• Allen summoned Verena, whose presence overwhelmed Kalikardos, then sent her back to Sky City.
• Allen warned Teresa that Kalikardos's death would gradually strip Claymores and Awakened Beings of their powers, though their lifespans would remain longer thanks to Life Energy.
• Teresa chose to kill Kalikardos, and her attacks reduced it to dust despite its powerful healing.
• Kalikardos's death sent a tremor across the world, and Allen told Teresa that humanity's new era had begun.
