Synopsis
As the Level Two kicks Allen through a wall, it notices that its hand is starting to break apart and correctly concludes that Allen is an Exorcist. When Allen notes that the Level Two is the one who killed the Finders, the Akuma grins and lunges at him. Kanda leaves fighting the Level Two to Allen and activates his Innocence, Mugen, going after the Level One Akuma trying to get to Guzol and the child, instead. In his fight, Allen notices that the Level Two seems to feel emotions, and that the soul chained to it is breaking down. When the Level Two notices Kanda, who has killed the Level One Akuma and is preparing to retrieve Guzol and the child, one of whom possesses the Innocence, the Level Two becomes infuriated, unable to pick between fighting Allen and going after the Innocence. Kanda takes Guzol and the child with him, telling Allen before he leaves that he will not help him and that the Level Two is his mess to clean up. Allen, who does not mind, resumes his fight with the Level Two. Just as he seems to have cut it in half, he realizes that what he attacked was not the real Level Two. Just then, a second Allen, this one a mirror image of the real Allen, appears behind Allen and attacks him with its own Cross Anti-Akuma Weapon.
