Cold open[]

Jean drills through the base of Dauf's throat.[7]

End of battle[]

Her man[]

Jean is about to decapitate Dauf. But tentacles grab Jean and slam her senseless into the rubble. Riful has partially awakened.[8]

Scene 049a
Referee

She apologizes for not letting the warriors have the final victory, but she must call an end to the fight. Although Riful is not proud of Dauf, "he's still my man."[9]

Sword attack[]

Before Galatea can stop her, Clare attacks Riful and scores a sword blow, the blade penetrating the skull. Uninjured, Riful begins to unravel into ribbons. She gives Clare a point for scoring a hit.[10]

Riful fully awakens, the castle bursting apart. Everyone finds themselves in broad daylight.[11]

Promise keeper[]

Up in the sky, Riful has the appearance of a brittle star. Up-close, she appears as a half-mermaid, half octopus. Clare can only gape in awe, now understanding the power of an Abyssal One.

Riful credits the warriors for not breaking under pressure, despite her best efforts. For scoring a hit, she names Priscilla's partner—Isley, the "Silver King" of the northern region of Alfons.[12]

Riful suddenly disappears skyward with Dauf.[13]

Galatea retreats[]

Galatea tries to take Clare, but Jean blocks her way. Rather than fight, Galatea says she will report Clare and Jean dead. She only asks that Clare and Jean stay alive.[14]

Clare's last words: We'll meet again, Galatea.[15]

Sutafu[]

At Organization Headquarters, an unknown warrior is sensing Riful. A Man in Black asks if she is ready to fight Riful. She says not yet. She needs more time.[16]

The man reveals her name—No. 1, Alicia.[17]
