The remaining Seven Stars commence the final action of their plan as planes all over the city crash into buildings creating countless Shikabane. All Contracted Monks and their Shikabane Hime are sent to take on their greatest mission yet and fight off the hordes. When Akasha, Hokuto and Hazama travel toward the purification chamber, Sadahiro and Akira block their path and attack them, only for each of them to evade to the purification chamber. When Ouri and Makina arrive, Sadahiro and Akira prohibit them from entering the purification chamber, but Makina manages to get in with Ouri's help. In the purification chamber, Hokuto breaks through the barrier created by the bishop Tokihana Shiou and punches right through his body. Akasha then tells Hokuto to destroy a mysterious casket there, breaking the bond of all Contracted Monks and causing each Shikabane Hime to begin to collapse.
