- Invasion of Pieta arc:
21: Part I
22: Part II
23: Critical Point I
Cold open[]
Rigaldo looks at the stump where his arm used to be. Nearby, Clare watches Rigaldo, her awakened legs looking like a cross between a horse and a pterodactyl.
Finders keepers[]
When Rigaldo tries to retrieve his arm, Helen snatches it and chops it up. Clare continues charging like a bull. She keeps missing as she has little control of her legs. Meanwhile, Raki arrives in Pieta.
Gaining control[]
Helen tries to help Clare, but Rigaldo repels Helen's attacks. Clare left arm awakens into a great claw, which gains traction on the ground. At last Clare has control of her speed, enabling her to stop and turn in any direction. Her attacks strangely invigorates Rigaldo, who remembers fighting this hard only against Isley.
Rigaldo fights Clare
Despite the dangers to himself, now handicapped with only one arm, Rigaldo finds the situation too irresistible to leave.
Infirmary[]
From inside the inn lobby, Miria watches Clare fight Rigaldo. There appears 13 warriors, most incapacitated. Cynthia and Tabitha tend the wounded.
Helen catches Raki and drags him into the building. But he insist on finding Clare and leaves. Miria send Helen to retrieve him.
Finding Clare[]
Raki finds Clare and Rigaldo fighting. But Clare's awakened appearance horrifies Raki. He collapses to his knees, his body paralyzed.
End of combat[]
Clare gains more and more control as she further awakens. She finally hacks Rigaldo to pieces.
