Cold open[]

Riful orders Dauf not to kill the Claymore warriors.[7]

Paving way for attack[]

While Clare distracts Dauf with her Quicksword, Jean winds up her sword-arm. But instead of the regular 15 twists, Jean does 21. By the time Dauf notices, it is too late to stop Jean.[8]

Clare sends Jean on her attack.[9] Clare reflects on her previous error of allowing Ilena's arm to strike blindly. This time, Clare's Preemptive Sensing must guide the Quicksword.[10]

Scene 048a
Round IV

Clare follows Jean as they lunge toward Dauf, who tries to crush Jean between his wrist stump and left hand. Clare beats both back with Quicksword as the sword is guided by following Dauf's Yoma power flow.[11]

Counter-attack[]

Dauf opens his mouth, about to fire a rod at Jean. But Galatea, though still down, uses her Yoma energy alignment and control to shut Dauf's jaws.[12]

Drill Sword[]

Jean finally drills through base of Dauf's throat.[13]

Additional details[]

Notes[]

  • The corridor height in this scene is approximately 4 stories high, up from one story when Clare enters the Witch's Maw in Scene 43
  • The corridor expands in proportion with Dauf's increasing height
