Once they arrived, Claire left Cid alone while she attended a meeting between swordsmen at the Magic Swordsmen Association to form a plan to subjugate the Red Tower, and discovered that her brother was missing upon her return. She headed out to Outlaw City to search for him and encountered the Vampire Hunter, Milia, who informed Claire that her brother might have been taken to Red Tower to be sacrificed. Because their goals aligned, the two agreed to work together to stop the vampire queen's revival.

Using a tunnel to bypass the Vampires and Ghouls, Claire and Milia met Beta from Shadow Garden, who were there to get a sample of the progenitor's blood due to similarities with Demon Possession. Claire asked Beta if there was a way to cure Demon Possession for which Beta did not clarify but informed the former not to worry about it, much to Claire's confusion. The two then encountered Juggernaut who decided to kill them and nearly overwhelmed them until Milia was forced to reveal her secret to Claire, becoming a full-fledged Vampire to defeat their enemy.
