Chapter Summaries

The Organization’s elite Claymores struggled against Awakened Beings while the Dark Twins fought Luciela and the Organization prepared its controlled abyss devourers. Allen’s group watched from nearby, and Teresa arrived to protect Clare and her allies, leaving the battle poised to shift.

• Teresa arrived beside Clare, killed an Awakened Being, and teased Clare about her weakness.
• Teresa surprised Milia, briefly held and teased her, then said she had been ordered to protect the Claymores from the Awakened Beings.

Teresa appeared on the battlefield and overwhelmed the Awakened Beings, then forced the survivors into deadly matches against the Claymores to train them. Clare volunteered to fight, while the Organization’s leaders speculated that Teresa might be one of Allen’s creations.

• After Galadria questioned Teresa, Teresa slaughtered another Awakened Being and Clare explained that she had met Allen ten years earlier.
• Teresa killed or maimed most of the Awakened Beings, then ordered the ten survivors to fight the Claymores one-on-one for their lives.
• Clare volunteered to face an Awakened Being Teresa had chosen to be stronger than her, and she blocked its opening Cross Slash with her High-Speed Sword.
• On a distant hill, Dae and the other Organization leaders questioned Teresa’s identity, while Lulu suggested Allen might be creating his own Warriors.

Allen explained that fairness drove his plan to destroy the nation behind the Organization, while the Abyssals joined forces to defeat the Dark Twins. Lafana arrived to save Arisia and rejected Luciela’s offer to awaken, declaring that she had come to die with her sister.

• Allen told Ine Lily and Sophia that Isley and Riful treated their Awakened Beings as expendable tools, then described his plan to avenge the Organization’s victims and annihilate the nation behind it.
• Arisia and Bixi fought Luciela until Arisia badly wounded her, prompting Luciela to call Isley and Riful for help.
• Isley, Riful, Dauf, and an unnamed female Awakened Being surrounded the Dark Twins, restrained Arisia, and overwhelmed Bixi.

• Luciela invited Lafana to awaken and join her, but Lafana refused and began releasing her Yoki, saying she had come to die with her sister.

Lafana used a life-for-life vow to attack Luciela, while Isley, Riful, and Dauf fought the Dark Twins and disrupted Bixi and Arisia. The Organization released Abyss Devourers, which overwhelmed the Abyssals, leaving Luciela close to losing her awakened form.

• Allen explained that Lafana’s power came from restraints and vows that likely let her defeat Luciela at the cost of her life.
• Lafana awakened and attacked Luciela relentlessly, forcing the planned battle to change as Isley and Riful fought Arisia and Dauf pressured Bixi.
• The Organization’s leaders decided to release their experimental Abyss Devourers and used Cole’s controller to direct them toward the battlefield.

• Lafana continued attacking Luciela without regard for the devourers, and the exhausted Luciela neared the limit of her awakened form.

Lafana killed Luciela and fused with her into a flesh cocoon while the Abyss Devourers overwhelmed Isley, Riful, and their allies. Allen explained the parasites behind the Organization’s biological weapons as Priscilla approached, and Teresa prepared to face her as the surviving Claymores rested.

• Lafana caught Luciela in the forest, killed her, and absorbed her body into a flesh cocoon.
• Isley and Riful struggled against Abyss Devourers whose parasitic cells allowed them to regenerate, replicate, and consume one another.
• Allen explained to Elina and Ine Lily how the Organization’s parasites created controllable, regenerating soldiers, and Ine Lily prepared to use her High-Speed Sword against them.
• Priscilla flew toward the battlefield as Allen declared that the island’s history would end by sunset.
• The surviving Claymores defeated the last ten Awakened Beings, while Teresa recognized Priscilla’s approach and warned Clare that a greater test was coming.

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.

• 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.

• 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.
