The Exorcists continue to battle a swarm of evolved akumas at sea, with Lenalee debating if she should use the full force of her Innocence and Lavi using a special power.

In nineteenth-century England, fifteen-year-old Allen Walker searches for the mysterious substance used to obliterate the "akuma" demons, and, after the battle at Krory Castle, finds an unexpected ally to help him in his search.

"Crona's crimes have become too terrible to ignore, and the troubled youth is added to Shinigami's list. Hoping to reach her friend first, Maka extends her soul perception ability to engulf the entire planet. But the sweep delivers even more than she had bargained for--the location of Kishin's hideout"--Back cover.

"Kid has been freed from Noah's greedy clutches, but The Book of Eibon remains at large. Noah was a troublesome foe, but the vast knowledge contained within the book could itself be dangerous--and information is not all that lies in its pages... Meanwhile, Crona has resurfaced in Moscow, his madness and Medusa's maternal pressure having all but consumed the friend Maka once new"--Back cover.

Inside Baba Yaga Castle, Maka, Soul, and Medusa prepare to face the mad witch, Arachne, in her chambers. With everyone in and around the castle under Arachne's spell, Soul must perform a string concerto that will move his audience to their souls, or become trapped himself.

Medusa plots to beat DWMA and her sister, Arachne, in the race for Eibon's demon tools, and Maka, Black Star, and Kid step up their training with their weapons.

Black Star wants to overpower his friend Death the Kid, who has embraced a new world order.

Black Star has found a way to harness the power of the Uncanny Sword as Maka and a team of DWMA students disguise themselves as Arachnophobian guards to enter Baba Yaga Castle.

Maka, Kid, and Black Star enter the magnetic field to finish the mission Doctor Stein is unable to complete, locating the demon tool "BREW." The three face off against Mosquito as time runs out, but harmonizing their wavelengths within the magnetic vortex is difficult.

Death the Kid and Black Star chase Free and Eruka to prevent them from using the Black Blood to revive the First Kishin. Meanwhile, Maka risks slipping into madness herself as she tries to reach Crona's troubled soul.
