Claymore 86

Again, middle of the week raws...why?
Sorry for the delay, and thank you ever so much for your continued patience.

Psyren to come later, tonight or tomorrow.

01
-Whoo-hoo! Just one hit?
-Not bad at all!

-To compensate for her small size and weight, she used the advantage of high altitude to deal the final blow...
-Clearly, she's accustomed to battling Awakends...

left vert: Dietrich's soaring fatal strike!!

02
SCENE.86 - 侵された禁忌 (Trespassers)

right vertical - Mission...complete!!

bubble: fuu...

author lower right: Yagi Norihiro

03
-Well?
-How they lookin'?

-They're fine
-No major wounds
-All are unconscious, but they're sure to awaken soon

-Good to hear!

-We are in your debt
-You two have saved all of our lives
-Thank you very much

04
-No need!
-After all, we're the ones
-who need you to keep quiet about us for various reasons, y'know?

-Sorry, but that I cannot do

-Huh!?

-I swore my allegiance to the Organization...I cannot lie
-I will have to answer for what happened here

-Fortunately for you, I am the only one who knows your faces
-Thus, if you slay me here, the Organization will never know about this

05
-So rather than lying,
-you'd chose death?

-This is who I am
-I know of no other way to live

-For cryin' aloud, what a pain in the ass!
-If we kill ya, that means all our hard work goes right down the drain!!

-hmph

06
-Have it your way
-At least you didn't raise your sword to us after the monster was slain

-Time to go, Helen
-Huh?
-'kay

07
-What...the...hell!!

-Denev! This ain't a joke!
-What're we gonna do!?

-Mm.
-Indeed, this could be quite a problem...

08
-Shit!
-Seriously, haven't we shaken her yet!?

-Her speed is roughly on par with ours...
-At the very least, she's got stamina to spare

09
-So...
-to what do we owe the honor,
-princess?
-Thought it over and decided to kill us, eh?

-Since then,
-I've done some thinking...

-Say if you two were to have kidnapped me...then I would no longer have to report to the Organization
-Nor would it violate my principles...an amicable solution, wouldn't you agree?

10
-HUH!?

-I don't get a word you're sayin'!!
-How in the world does it help US to kidnap YOU!?

-I'm saying that we can act on that premise
-Meanwhile I'll simply tag along
-And if I get in your way, then go ahead and dispose of me

-I should mention that these Southern lands have changed a great deal in the past 7 years
-Surely the two of you, after hiding out in the North all this time, would require a guide?

-Why, you...!!
-How did you...!?

-It was pure logic
-You do not have to confirm the truth, nor am I trying to investigate you

11
-So in the past 7 years, this area's changed?
-Exactly whaddya mean by that?

-For starters, half of all the Southern cities have been wiped out
-Furthermore, I would strongly advise against proceeding any farther South than this

-Wha...

-H-HALF of them!?
-What the hell happened?!
-We're still not entirely sure of the exact reason
-I only happen to know of the South's current state

-Then, what is it
-that's past here?

-I'm not in a position to share all the details
-But please take this as my ardent warning

12
-Farther South of here...
-Lies the one they call the Devil himself

-Sheez...I can't believe it!

13
-Half...HALF!!
-Sayin' half of the cities have been destroyed is like sayin' me and Denev's hometowns might not exist anymore!
-Well...we won't know till we get there

-I've warned you
-And yet you insist on continuing?

-That's the whole reason we're here, babe
-After all, we can't just pack up and go home 'cuz of one warning

-Oh, and your devil?
-We've known 'bout him since the moment we arrived

14
-...and speak peak of the devil, he's right down there
-That unbelievably ridiculous Youki that stands out like a sore thumb...

-Just like that monster we met before, Riful...?
-Nah, even bigger than that...

15
-Isley...
-The man who defeated Luciela, the former Abyssal One of the South

-Well, gotta say
-I ain't surprised they call him a devil

-So what's the game plan, Denev?
-Why are you asking me?

-I mean, look...for a city to still be in one piece with an Abyssal One in it,
-That must mean he's behaving himself and wandering around town in human form, right?

16
-Don'cha wanna steal a peek...?
-At what this so-called Abyssal Isley looks like

-I see you've completely failed to comprehend a word Miria was saying...
-Oh come on! You mean YOU'VE got absolutely no interest
-in him?

-Watch your mouth...
sfx - Grip (biki)

-He was originally the ruler of the North
sfx bub - Gishi (veins throbbing???)
-We never met him in person, but there's no doubt he was behind the war
-He's the number one target worth killing for the death of our comrades...

18
-H-hey!! Simmer down!
-I didn't say anything about fighting him!!!

-Just a glance, that's all
-With our Youki hidden, he won't notice a thing

-Hey!
-Are you out of your minds?!
-You'd best forget the idea...

-Oh. you. Just stay put.
-Waltzin' around with a soldier spewing Youki is just askin' for it
-No worries, we'll be right back

-I said wai--

18
-Goodness...
-What an unbelievable lot

-But going against an Abyssal One...
-Will hiding one's Youki be enough, I wonder...?

19
-Man, this place's lively
-What a crowd!
-Makes you wonder how an Abyssal guy could be here

-Be careful
-Even with our Youki suppressed, we can't hide our silver eyes
-It will surely give us away as soldiers

-This way

20
sfx - biri biri (shocking, tingling...like hair standing up)

biri x3

-W-woah!! This is creepy!!
biri x3
-T-this Youki's on a totally different level!
-There ain't no way ordinary people can't sense this!!

-I'm sure that ordinary people would intuitively feel that something's off...
biri x3
-A strong, inexplicable desire to flee this place, for instance...

-What? That's gotta suck!
-And being unable to understand why must plague them even more ...

21
-...strange

-Huh? What is?
-Because I've been preoccupied thinking about Isley, I hadn't considered
-there's a number of odd things about this situation

-For starters, why is he hiding his prescence in a town like this?
-I can't fathom what he has to gain by lurking as a human

-And what's more,
-The way that soldier spoke...

-There's no reason in particular to avoid mentioning that Isley was an Abyssal One
-So why is it, then, that she intentionally spoke of him in a roundabout way?

22-23 uh oh

24
-Shit...!
-When did he...from the front...!?

-He...
-Is Isley!?

-No, don't stop
-He shouldn't be able to read our Yoki
-We appear just as ordinary humans right now...

-Keep walking, Helen
-W-wait a sec...
-M-my leg's...

25
-Ngh...

-Kuh...
-Please tell me he didn't see it...!?

26
-What's the matter?
-Are you injured?

-N-no...
-My sister is lame, sir

27
-Shall I lend a hand?

-That's quite kind, but that is why I am with her
-You needn't pay us any mind

-Haa x3

-That so? Well, do take good care of her
-Yes, sir
-Thank you for your kind concern

-Fuu...

28
-Ga...
-D-
-DENEV!!!
-UWAAAAAAAH

29
-You worthless pieces of trash...
sfx bub - hyun
-Ngh...
-Gaa...
-Hiding your Youki? What stupid stunt are you trying to pull?

-Ggh...!
-Y-
-YOU...!

-You're an eyesore
-PREPARE TO DIE

30-31
-No...
-Impossible...

-In a place like this...??
-Damn...

-The devil...
-has returned...!

bold: A mysterious figure draws closer to the village...!!
