The sorcerer, Cartaphilius, threatens to use Alice in an experiment if Renfred ever fails him again. Elias is asked to discover if a Grimm in a nearby graveyard is dangerous. He gives Chise a magical ring to reduce the amount of magic she generates. At the graveyard they find a young woman has been murdered. Chise is attacked by a dark magical creature but is saved by a young man who crushes the creature before collapsing from bite wounds. He suddenly transforms into the Grimm. Alice appears and tries to take the Grimm but Chise knocks her unconscious. The Grimm, called Yuris, is unable to remember who injured him. Alice reveals Cartaphilius wants to turn Yuris into a Chimera. Elias appears and decides Yuris is not dangerous. Alice asks Elias to help against Cartaphilius, who took Renfreds arm and created the Chimera which killed the young woman. Elias agrees since the Church was probably going to ask him to do it anyway. Chise suddenly pushes Alice out of the way and is impaled through the chest by Cartaphilius, who had been aiming for Alice. With Chise dying in his arms Elias transforms into his true form, an inhuman monster.
