Deneve and Helen leave for Lautrec so Cynthia can heal Helen's eye. Dietrich delivers Deneve's to Miria. Clare's group encounters Dauf, who catches Uma's leg—Clare cuts it off. Clare follows Dauf to Riful's second castle, where another fight occurs. Clare escapes. As Dauf and Riful are distracted by Renée's escape, Clare reenters the castle and finds Luciela-Rafaela. Clare enters Rafaela's dream world, where Rafaela attacks and "kills" Clare. Clare awakes in a dream within a dream. This time Ilena's arm attacks with Quick-sword and kills Rafaela, who gives all her memories to Clare, among which is, "the thing that you must know." When Clare emerges from the sea of Yoma tissue, she sees a skyhigh, demonic parody of Teresa and Clare—the Destroyer. Riful and Dauf are attacked by Abyss Feeders, then Alicia and Beth. The Destroyer fires rods that awaken into cat-like Awakened Beings. Clare describes them as automations. Beth is impaled by a rod, causing Alicia to revert to human form.
