Cold open[]
Clare approaches the castle entrance. She senses many Yoma auras that confuses her.[7]
Trap[]
Entrance walls bristle with Yoma rods, throbbing with Yoma power. She wonders what huge entity created them. Then four Yoma attack. The rods camouflages their auras. Despite the surprise, Clare engages the Yoma, killing three.[8]
The fourth Yoma flees, but from the floor below, Dauf's arm erupts through. He seizes and crushes to death the Yoma for retreating.[9]
Round I[]
Dauf climbs through the floor and confronts Clare, whose gender puzzles him. But the narrow corridor confines his movement. Clare attacks, but the Quicksword fails to penetrate his armor.[10]
Dungeon[]
Downstairs, the mysterious girl notices the commotion above. But she returns her attention to Jean. She tries to persuade Jean to awaken and join her, but Jean refuses, wishing to live for humans.[11]
Jean
Surprise caller[]
Upstairs, the combat continues. Dauf fires a rod that hits Clare's leg, disabling her. He picks Clare up by the head with the intent to discover her gender.[12]
But an unknown Claymore warrior enters unafraid into the corridor. This interrupts Dauf's interrogation.[13]
Additional details[]
Notes[]
- In an exercise in artistic license, both the castle corridor and Dauf will increase in size during the "Witch's Maw" and "Purgatory" arcs
- The flying Yoma rod is introduced in this scene
