This was an exciting chapter. The real battle hasn't even kicked off yet, apparently.
OMG...did Priscilla really just eat Cassandra?
And Tabitha... :( at least she finally got to punch Miria like she said she would and confess her admiration for her.
Translation of the manga by God Eye Galatea at mangahelpers:
The Abyssal of the North, Isley, also known as "The White Silver King," and as his mentor, what was the strategy against Priscilla that he had left for Raki....?
• Raki: Ha... Ha... Ha...
• Isley: The season is changing again.
• Isley: This will be the end of your sword training from today on.
• Isley: From now on, use your own strength to train your body and mind.
• Raki: Wait, Isley! My skills right now to Priscilla are just completely...
• Isley: Even if you train beyond this point, it would still be the same. You have already achieved what a human could hope to possibly achieve.
• Isley: At the time when you challenge Priscilla straight on with your sword, Priscilla would most likely match your strength at the time fighting.
• Isley: You would probably be killed before you can even lay a scratch on Priscilla, but she probably would not kill you right away with one hit.
• Isley: Of course, it's unclear whether the reason may be because of her past sentiments for you, or she just feels that it is fun. This is biggest difference between you and the others.
• Isley: Precisely at that moment, you would disappear completely from Priscilla's awareness.
• Isley: In the midst of the chaos of battle, your presence is like that of a corpse, and as such you are able to escape others' awareness as well. Of course, this is not something possessed by other warriors that could be used against Priscilla's overwhelming power.
• Isley: Right now, you first have to solely focus on improving your stamina. You have to train your stamina to a point where even when you are hit critically, you would still be able to pick up your sword and move toward Priscilla's blind spot and strike her.
• Isley: In terms of your swordsmanship, this is enough. Right now, you are in no way able to carry this out victoriously, go suit up your body with armor. As you are now, you are still far too weak.
• Isley: Beginning from the moment Priscilla strikes you down, it is then that it considered that you have acquire the sword for killing Priscilla. [???]
• Isley: {Never forget that.}
• Isley: {From the moment Priscilla kills you, that is when your battle begins.}
It is only a brief moment. But, that is an everlasting unforgettable moment that the warriors, awaken beings, and even Abyssal One could never have imagined.
• Clare: {Quicksword is going to strike first.}
• Clare: Ha... Ha... Ha...
• Raki: Ha... Ha... Ha...
• Clare: Raki! Are you alright? Hang in there, Raki!
• Helen: Success! Finally finished that bastard!
• Deneve: Really.... He really is an impressive lackey (trailer).
• Chronos: Heh. That brat really dealt the strongest strike. In a poetic sense, one could say that it was a strike thanks to remembrance of Isley.
• Octavia: Even after awakening, you're still quite the romantic. Men are really...
• Miria: Tabitha! Can you hear me? Tabitha!
• Miria: Tabitha... Tabitha...
• Tabitha: Hmm..
• Tabitha: Captain... Miria...
• Miria: Tabitha, Hang in there! I'm sorry, it's all because of my battle strategy, that caused you....
• Tabitha: Pri....sci...lla...?
• Miria: Defeated! Don't worry, you just focus on healing your wounds right now. You can't die, Tabitha!
• Tabitha: Ha...Ha... Ha...
• Tabitha: Cynthia, don't mind my body. Can you and Yuma please heal my right arm....
• Miria: What are you talking about? If you do that, you will die!
• Tabitha: There is no time, Captain Miria.... I have something I have to tell you...
• Tabitha: I'm already done for, no matter what.
• Cynthia: .....
• Miria: That... can't be....
• Miria: Wai...Wait... Cynthia! Can you heal the body parts first?
• Tabitha: Captain Miria....
• Tabitha: Yoki... There is very small trace of Priscilla's yoki lingering.
• Helen: Wha..
• Tabitha: She is injured severely, but there still very weak reminiscence of Priscilla's yoki lingering around.
• Tabitha: Don't let your guards down. The battle is not over yet.
• Miria: Damn....
• Helen: Damn.. That unforgivable bastard. Why can't she die quietly.
• Clare: {Cassandra is gone...}
• Clare: She might be resting over there. Don't move, Raki.
• Tabitha: Thank you, Cynthia and Yuma.... I'm alright. Go tend Deneve's and Helen's wounds and be ready for battle.
• Miria: Tabitha.
• Tabitha: Captain Miria... Can you hold my hand this last time?
• Miria: ?
• Tabitha: From the moment we chased after Miria's footsteps to the organization, I already made a promise with Deneve that when we find Captain Miria, we would punch her...
• Tabitha: I was disappointed that you didn't take me with you at that time.
• Tabitha: But, after that, I'm relieved that it is all settled. Besides that, I'm have nothing else that I'm unsatisfied with, Captain Miria.
• Tabitha: I'm very fortunate to be able to follow Captain Miria through the chaotic battle in the northern land from seven years ago.
• Tabitha: Captain Miria, you are very gentle. If one is to say that as people climb in rank, then they would also become more cold hearted. Captain Miria, you probably don't have that skill in you.
• Tabitha: But that is what I like in Captain Miria the most. Please don't blame yourself because of what happened to me.
• Tabitha: For me, it is the highest honor to be able to become Captain's sword.
• Clare: Ha... Ha...
• Clare: Damn.... I used Quicksword too many times today. Even my Claymore feels heavy.
• Clare: No, it's probably because I already exceeded the limits. I only realized this after defeating Priscilla at this down time.
• Clare: Ha... Ha... Ha...
• Clare: The chunks of Cassandra's flesh...?
• Clare: Ha... Ha... Ha...
• Cynthia: Damn....
• Yuma: Ku.....Kuku...
• Deneve: Miria. Tabitha, she....
• Miria: Let's go! This is the battle for the seven of us, let's fight till the end.
• Clare: Shit... Why didn't I notice this....
• Clare: She was injured that severely, then there is only one place she could have gone to....
• Clare: Damn.... Damn.... Damn...
• Priscilla: I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry!
• Priscilla: I really want to eat entrails.....
A severely injured demon is starting to run loose....
Tabitha :(
and FUCKIN Priscilla!!!!! how the hell she survived and pwned Cassandra with half body!!!
overall i really liked the chapter but sad to see 2 characters done for :(
Neither Clare nor the rest followed up after destroying Priscilla and Cassandra was devoured in one quick instance whereas before she could at least prove some resistance? By virtue of the plot.

Before Prissy wasn't serious at all. Last chapter only after cutting down Tabi she said she'd go all out and then quickly disabled Helen and Deneve. Clare only destroyed parts of her body, I think, and she most likely escaped while hiding her presence considering even Teresa didn't notice her back then, Only Tabi, being the eye of the 7 ghosts, was able to detect her faint yoki.
I can't believe Tabitha died. Her last words to Miria were nice, but mother of all...
My OTP just went crumbling down. My heart is shattered. I am but a complete mess right now!

That's what I'm going to say if Yuma dies! Yuma & Cynthia forever!
Tabitha died and of course Priscilla is not yet dead and will likely come at them with full force. I wonder how many of the 7 will have to die before they can take Priscilla out for good.
I wish we had a bit more of a look at Raki's semi-awakened form too.

Poor Cassandra she has my second favorite awakening form and is only bested by Riful (i include riful 2.0 in that). WHY MUST YOU KILL THE BEST CHARACTERS PRISCILLA YOU SUCK GO DIE
The only way I am not going to be incredibly annoyed by this chapter is if Priscilla getting shredded ultimately weakened her. If all that was for absolutely nothing, I am going to be upset.
Priscilla is still alive... So, the author prefers to drag it with the focus on Priscilla. And honestly, it bothers me in a way that Raki could have stabbed Priscilla so easily. I know he was trained by Isley but he is still a human, unless something happened.
WTF was that? So Priscilla got cut into little pieces but somehow she magically found Cassandra and ate her like Cassandra is nothing despite Priscilla being near death?

A_Fat_Man said: This fight is getting really stupid.
no.....actually if had ended in today's chapter it would've been stupid
Exactly....In all entirety I thought it was over with this chapter and that we'd get maybe 2 or 3 conclusion chapters but then I hear the bitch is still alive.
Coming back from being thorn to shreds?....is the author high or something?
Man i no shes supposed to be the strongest but thats getting ridiculous that her regeneration has no limits. They cut her in pieces an shes still able to come back, thats beyond regeneration thats just stupid as hell. I mean come on not even the original abyssal ones can do that otherwise riful and isley would still be there.

They'll probably need a spirit bomb to beat her. That's is the best thing to use against regeneration villains.
Love the Isley flashback :D Tabitha is gone without even being able to give everything >.< Cassandra is gone as well, it won't be long until the other 2 awakened beings are taken out :(
Man, so much for Raki x Claire's final combination attack. After all that Prsicalla sneaks off and somehow instant-gibs Cassandra. Prisicalla is like some super cockroach at this point.
The fact that Tabitha kicked the bucket is worrisome on top of Prisiclla healing. It's gonna be sad if the any more of the 7 starts dropping as well. Really hope Priscilla isn't back to 100% after feeding on Cassandra or this will be beyond silly.
You guys are all to harsh. Be patient Claymore is only show that didn't dissapoint me in some aspect. I am sure that regeneration is not infinite,why don't u think about it u just come here and talk sh*t about one horned b*tch to die. Maybe that's not even regeneration start reading manga like rly reading it not just watch pictures ffs!

might as well make priscilla eat clare off-screen and get over with this shit >_>
the plot is absolutely retarded at this point
Dumb? It's tying up lose ends, what else is suppose to happen? They kill Priscilla then the Awakened Beings and the Warriors become friends? Or just have Cassandra kill everyone and end it?

If Yuma dies, I will rage quit!!!
After you rage quit, Ilena comes back.
:,[ If Helen, Yuma, or Cynthia die...I will be torn. Ilena must come back and save them!
Speaking of people coming back... I wonder, by a long shot, that the Fusion Awakened Being made a copy of Teresa, or even Ilena... She was inside that thing maybe it still had some of their blood? I also wonder if it's possible for Rafaela to come back, after all, she never ate a person and her mind is in Clare now.
-------------------------------------
I think I'm seeing a lot of mixed messages from peoples comment here. It's not that Priscilla just regenerated again, it's that Cassandra already had Priscilla's flash in her then when she was fighting with her she kept eating more and more till Priscilla had enough to make a copy of herself inside Cassandra. Like what came out of Hysteria, but more powerful because of this.
If priscilla was killed so easily after everyone she beat (like riful 2.0), that would be stupid. I would be dissatisfied. But shredding her has barely weakened her at all, and she managed to defeat an abyssal one in that form? Raki's trump card already used? Now, no matter how they defeat her in the end, I won't be able to believe it, they just made priscilla way too powerful. I hope it won't just end with priscilla defeated too, I hope they actually go to the mainland..

I agree that Priscilla was too OP for some of the stuff she did like when she took down the 'Fusion' Awakened Being 'shell' in one attack like that. But, ( http://www.mangareader.net/claymore/148/17 ) "Priscilla's yoki is still 'faintly' present", meaning she has been weakened.
Priscilla said that she was going to fight them with the power she had before she awakened and slowly increase it, so she wasn't going all out against the Warriors and Awakened beings. http://www.mangareader.net/claymore/144/27 and the previous page.
================
The only question about this chapter I fine is: Who is going to kill Priscilla? Clare's arm is down from using it too much, Raki is KO, and Miria and the others are on the way. The way the story goes, Clare should be the one who does it, but she can't even really move her sword right now. Another way for this to end is to have a return of a character from the past. Like Teresa, Ilena, or even someone we don't know about yet, to come in for the finishing blow.
Also, we don't know if the 'Fusion' being is dead or not, it just seems to be weak and it's been sitting there so it could have been eating this whole time (IE the grass, trees etc...); that's something to watch out for.
I hope Priscilla lives.......yeah I said it and I feel sorry for her. I could see her suffer though out the series it's the yoma inside her doing al these horrible things and Priscilla also lost her family and she still likes riki and she knew riki was near that's why she didn't blow up the place.
this is getting ridiculous., can the mangaka just let priscailla die? if he wants so desperately to continue the manga he can take the story to the mainland (or the mainland to the story), but fpr the love of god, months and months of fighting the same battle with no possible end in sight is bullshit.
Yeah, I don't really see either any of those dying unless they take the entire pair down. They all add personalities that are more unique than the majority of the group though, so it would be more detrimental to kill them off unless they're replaced.
