Allen and Lenalee fight for survival against Road and her Akuma. Road knows that Allen became and Exorcist to save the souls of Akuma, so she orders an Akuma to self-destruct. An Akuma who dies this way will never be saved and their soul will be lost forever. Desperately, Allen tries to exorcise the Akuma before it happens, but the Akuma explodes, its soul begging for help. Intrigued at Allen's concern for the Akuma, Road laughs and Allen is unable to bring himself to kill the Noah. Road leaves via a portal, and the Exorcists, along with Miranda, are returned to Miranda's home. Miranda turns off her Innocence after some persuasion by Allen and Lenalee because she knows that the injuries they sustained earlier will reappear. Allen and Lenalee return to headquarters to recover, and Miranda leaves the town, planning to become an Exorcist.
