As Ricki and the rest looked at Clare, they saw that she was a different person. 

She was taller, more beautiful and much more confident in herself. 

She walked over to Ricki and patted his head

"Clare?" he asked, not sure who this is

Then suddenly, she knocked his head hard

"When I think of how Clare's chastity could be taken by a player with so many girls like you, it kind of pisses me off. Even so... she's been blessed with such a manly man, I'm sure you have enough love to share with Clare too" she said

*BOOM*

Priscilla attacked with her monstrous form

"In a little while that I haven't seen you, you've become quite ugly huh? How did you steal that man from Clare?" the woman smiled and asked

Priscilla looked shocked

"Time to take care of unfinished business. I'll turn you into dust Priscilla!" she said as she charged

"Wha... what's happening? That warrior, I've never seen her before" Miria said

"Is that..." on of the ghosts asked

"So that's it! Inside of Clare is the flesh and blood of a warrior, instead of a youma. That huge existence that Clare previously carried. Teresa of the faint smile. This is the strongest No 1!" Miria said in astonishment

"...Teresa of the faint smile.."

"...the strongest number 1.." the rest of the ghosts muttered

 With a swift strike, Teresa's sword smashed Priscilla, severing her body in two

As she stood back, Priscilla's body started to recover before their eyes

"The foundation of her power is hatred after all. Just from the sight of me, who brought her to her knees as a warrior, that power will surely rise without limit" Teresa said

She smiled at Priscilla before continuing

"Right now, what stands there just carries Priscilla's name. It is hatred itself, in its final throes. In other words, simply madness" Teresa said

Priscilla released her power, demonstrating her powerful monstrous body as she expanded her wings menacingly.

Ricki stood with his companions, protected by Tatsumaki's force field

"Well then, it's been a while since I've let loose, hasn't it?" Teresa said as she charged

She sliced off Priscilla's right arm easily

But multiple arms regrew back and started attacking her

"Te-re-sa. Te-re-sa" Priscilla muttered in a crazed state

"Hey, hey. Your hatred for me is out of control, no?" Teresa smiled, easily avoiding her attacks

"Te-re-sa. Te-re-sa" Priscilla muttered as she continued attacking in a frenzy

"Jeez. To be hated to this extent, I'm starting to think its no different from being loved" Teresa smiled

Teresa ducked and sliced off Priscilla's left leg.

Priscilla immediately regrew her leg and chased after Teresa who kept dodging her attacks

However, Priscilla seemed unbalanced. She stopped attacking and destroyed her own right leg, regenerating another one

"Could it be that each time her body is shattered a more powerful body can be generated?" Deneve, one of the ghosts asked out loud

Priscilla's body sped up faster than the human eye can follow but Teresa still managed to dodge

Priscilla accelerated even faster.

"So you're going to play it that way huh?" Teresa said and moved her sword around

"Right about here?"she said as she left out and Priscilla impaled herself on Teresa's sword, looking stunned

But she shrugged it off and continued attacking, making a wide range attack forcing everyone nearby to flee

Only Ricki and his companions stood still, protected by Tatsumaki

Teresa was surprisingly unharmed, managing to dodge everything, and she sliced Priscilla's head into 3 pieces

But Priscilla's head rejoined and continued attacking.

The attacks became more savage and even Teresa was cut with a wound on her forehead bleeding down her face.

Suddenly, with a burst of energy, Teresa awakened.

She still looked the same only now, she had wings sprouted from her back looking like an angel.

However, the toki energy released from her was far beyond even the most powerfuk awakened being Priscilla

All the ghosts were stunned, having never felt so much toki energy before.

Immediately she attacked, drilling a hole into Priscilla's chest, then she sliced her to pieces

As her body tried to heal, Teresa drilled through her body again with her sword

Then she cut her to pieces again. Over and over, she relentlessly destroyed Priscilla's body

Priscilla finally stood naked in her human form

"Help me. Please help me. Can I not die? I stabbed my sword into my own body. I went to where the strongest enemies were in order to fight. Even then it was no good. It overflows from within my body. Endless hatred towards everything" Priscilla said

"Return to dust Priscilla. I came to fulfill your wish" Teresa smiled

"Can it... really end with this? I hated everything that appeared before my eyes. I wanted to destroy everything" Priscilla asked

"This time, I'll send you off properly" Teresa said as she charged

As Teresa charged Priscilla looked at Ricki with tears in her eyes and he could clearly see her mouth move

"I love you" she mouthed as Teresa's attack turned her into dust

Everyone looked around as the area seemed to be raining flower petals

Teresa turned to look at Ricki, walking towards him. 

She looked exhausted, but still smiled

"I leave Clare to you. Please take good care of her... I'll be watching" she said and kissed him

Ricki felt her embrace and her tongue invaded his mouth

Suddenly, he felt her change, as if she shrank in his arms

He opened his eyes as saw that he was kissing Clare. Teresa had transformed back to Clare.

"Well that's that" Evangeline said as the other former Claymores and trainees gathered around them.

Clare greeted her friends, knowing she will be leaving soon with Ricki and his companions.

Ricki looked around. This was the ending of the manga he had read.

Going across the sea would be something new and out of his knowledge.

He felt excited and yet hesitant.

He didn't even know his goal. Was it to return back to his original dimension?

But he was now a amalgam of himself, Rickert, Edward Elric and Raki. 

And besides that, what will happen to his companions? He brought them here, or got them to join him. 

They were his responsibility.

This new direction would hopefully give him new ideas and thoughts as to the direction they would take.

Seeing Clare in his arms, he forgot his worries to indulge in his new lover's body.
