Episode 7 of "Ao no Exorcist: Shimane Illuminati-hen" shows Izumo facing her ominous fate. Despite her despair, she seizes the opportunity in a defiant moment to summon her fox spirits Uke and Mike, temporarily escaping her captors.

At the same time, the rescue team led by Yukio and overseen by Pheles makes its way to Inari Peace Town. Fortunately protected by Shiemi's herbal medicine, the team navigates through a ghostly shopping mall and uncovers the horrifying truth about Gedouin's experiments. The test subjects transformed into zombies present a grotesque challenge. As the situation escalates due to Gedouin's change in tactics, driving them into a dangerous trap called the "Feeding Ground," the episode takes a dark turn.

The brief moment of hope for Izumo is shattered when Shima eliminates her protectors, leaving her alone and more vulnerable than ever. This act solidifies Shima's position as a terrifying adversary.

The climax of the episode plunges the characters into great distress, as they are not only confronted with the physical threat of monstrous beasts but also the moral dilemmas of their mission.
