Priscilla[]
Teresa tells Clare to pack their things. Teresa contemplates beheading Priscilla, who knells terrified as she faces death. Teresa is about to behead her.
But to her own dismay, Teresa softens and decides not to carry out the execution. When Clare rejoins Teresa, Teresa warns the warriors that she will cut them down matter how many times they come after her.[6]

Clare shows up with Teresa's faulds and pouch.
Regroup[]
The purge team watch helplessly as Teresa and Clare leave town. Ilena is amazed that Teresa did not kill Priscilla.
Realizing they still have a chance to carry out the mission, Ilena tries to regroup, but Priscilla partially awakens and pursues Teresa. Ilena tells the team to pursue the pursuer. Priscilla is out of control.[7]
Final battle[]
Teresa's warning[]
Priscilla catches up with Teresa and Clare on a deserted plateau. Teresa warns Priscilla to stop releasing her Yoma energy. She explains the stages of awakening and the associated percentages of release. 10% release causes the eye color to change. At 30% the face transforms. At 50% the body changes. The 80% level is irreversible and Priscilla is already at 70%.
Attack[]
Priscilla tells Teresa to shut up and attacks, but Teresa repels the sword strokes as before. Priscilla gradually loses her human mind as the combat continues.[8]
Priscilla does a somersault and sword thrust, but Teresa dodges the thrust. With her sword arm twisting around her body, Priscilla makes an unexpected thrust. Teresa's forehead is wounded with with the point of Priscilla's sword.[9]
Though the wound is not serious, Teresa warns Priscilla that she is losing her human mind and Teresa may have to kill her.[10]

Notes[]
