Chapter Summaries

Esdeath mastered Absolute Zero Qi by fusing her ki with the Ice Phoenix bloodline, while Scathach chose to strengthen her ki and magic. Chang Wei gave them the Fusion Technique, and they agreed to try it together.

• Chang Wei exchanged the Fusion Technique for Esdeath and Scathach, explaining that it could serve as a powerful trump card.
• Esdeath eagerly suggested they try the dance, and Scathach agreed, though their energies would need to connect as well as their movements.

• After several days of training, Scathach and Esdeath began their fusion dance as Chang Wei watched.

• Scades attacked Chang Wei to test her new power, and he caught her fist and leg before blocking her Qi and growing a third arm.

• Chang Wei identified the world as Claymore and reviewed its demons, Claymore warriors, and the risks of releasing demonic power.

Esdeath, Scathach, and Chang Wei entered the Claymore world and discussed a Main God Space mission to kill much of its population. They reached a town with a Yoma and introduced themselves as bounty hunters, leaving the townspeople unsure whether to hire them.

• Chang Wei told the mayor they were bounty hunters competing with the Organization of Men in Black and would collect payment after completing their work.

Chang Wei, Esdeath, and Scathach exposed and killed three yoma in a town, then collected a bounty from the mayor. As they left, Teresa appeared and confronted them, recognizing their work as competition for her organization.

• Chang Wei ordered Esdeath and Scathach to attack three suspected yoma, and they killed them as the townspeople watched.

• Chang Wei recognized Teresa and showed strong interest in her, while Scathach felt jealous and Esdeath reflected on her place in the Main God Space.

Chang Wei warned Teresa that a catastrophe worse than the Yoma threatened her continent and claimed her land was an isolated testing ground. Teresa listened as he described the war and the origins of the Claymore warriors, leaving her to consider his account of the world.

• Esdeath formed an Ice Sword, and she blocked Teresa’s powerful opening strike with a metallic clash.

Teresa increased her demon power during her duel with Esdeath but could not break through Esdeath’s defense. Chang Wei invited Teresa to join them against the invaders, and she accepted before he admitted he wanted her because she was beautiful.

• Teresa opened her Golden Vertical Pupils and released ten percent of her demon power to begin the serious fight with Esdeath.
• Esdeath blocked Teresa’s attacks, and Teresa released another twenty percent of her demon power without gaining the advantage.
• Teresa stopped fighting and returned to her silver eyes because she did not want to look ugly by releasing more demon power.
• Chang Wei told Teresa that greater releases still would not make Esdeath use her second hand, then invited her to join them against the invaders.
• Teresa accepted the invitation, asked whether Chang Wei’s group were all No. 1, and was stunned when he said he wanted her because she was beautiful.

Chang Wei helped Teresa fully assimilate the Demon Flesh and Blood, healing her wound and awakening her into a powerful Four-winged Archangel. After Teresa returned to human form, she accepted Chang Wei’s invitation to go inside the house he conjured.

Chang Wei explained the invaders’ motives, leaving the warriors confronted with the brutal law of the strong preying on the weak.

• Teresa told the Claymore Warriors that the Organization created Yoma and used them as experimental subjects, then urged them to unite against it.

• Chang Wei said the invaders killed for pleasure, slaves, territory, and resources, describing their actions as the law of the strong preying on the weak.

Chang Wei warned the Claymores that Reincarnators had killed the Northern Horse and other Abyssal Ones, while Riful had been captured. A Tyranid swarm then attacked the group, and as Teresa and Ineli fought through the bugs, Chang Wei summoned Ineli and offered to make her stronger.

• Ineli and Teresa cut through the front of the swarm, while Sophia and the other Claymores struggled against the resilient bugs.
• Chang Wei called Ineli to him and promised to make her stronger, then grabbed her hand.

Chang Wei purified Ineli’s Demon Flesh and Blood, allowing her to awaken without losing her humanity or control. As the Claymores fought off the Blade Bugs, Ineli protected a trainee and sent the warriors to Chang Wei, who was surrounded by them.

• Chang Wei erased the possibility of Ineli transforming into a beast and told her that her Demon Flesh and Blood had fused with her, awakening her power.
• Chang Wei explained that he had purified the Demon Flesh and Blood in Ineli and Teresa, removing its madness so they could retain their selves.

• Ineli saved a young Claymore trainee by tearing dozens of Blade Bugs apart with an invisible force, then ordered the others to fall back and go to Chang Wei.
• The Claymores gathered around Chang Wei.

Teresa, Ineli, and the other Claymore Warriors fought through the bug swarm while Chang Wei helped the women awaken and grow stronger.

• Teresa and Ineli slaughtered bugs as their awakened strength increased.

• The giant bug watched the female Claymore Warriors and decided it might evolve a human form instead of eating them.

Teresa faced a powerful Void Creature that knew her and tried to claim her, but she refused and awakened her Four-winged Archangel form. The creature blurred into the darkness to attack, leaving their battle about to begin.

• The Void Creature offered Teresa power and freedom if she became its possession, but she rejected its offer and declared she trusted her own strength.
• Teresa awakened her Four-winged Archangel form, and the Void Creature blurred into the darkness as their fight began.

Teresa and Ineli struggled against the Void Reincarnator until Teresa realized she could concentrate High-Speed Sword strikes into a single point. She cut the creature in two, though the force shattered her greatsword.

Teresa and the Claymore Warriors fought powerful invaders from the Continent of Darkness and Death while Chang Wei’s group cleared the Experiment Continent of Reincarnators and gathered survivors. After capturing nobles and soldiers fleeing the Warfire Continent, Chang Wei proposed building a giant defensive wall and using the newcomers as slaves for reconstruction.

• Teresa used an overlapping High-Speed Sword attack to kill a monster, but the recoil cracked both her hands and destroyed her weapon.

• Chang Wei proposed contracts granting the survivors of Warfire Continent freedom, land, and new identities after they helped rebuild, and the Claymore Warriors supported his plan.

• Teresa reflected that Chang Wei had saved the Claymore world and felt deeply grateful to him.
• Chang Wei reassured Teresa, and she responded affectionately before her enhancement began.
