The destination is also the starting point, disappearing but reappearing
After a noisy and lively banquet, the Count's Banquet disappeared without a trace along with the legendary vampire treasure "Tome". For the dark and lonely vampire, this may be the destined destination and end. But the desire for holy objects aroused the forces of all parties, uncovering an even more treacherous dispute.

The elder Bloody Sword, who holds a high position in the Vampire Clan and is watching the power of the grimoire, was betrayed by the Vampire Clan and joined the church. The Misfit, who believes in destroying the alliance, continues the long-lasting battle. Due to the disappearance of the grimoire, it's getting worse.

The appearance of The Embrace instantly attracted the attention of all insiders - this grimoire writer who wrote the secrets and destiny in the secrets naturally mastered the little-known secrets of the grimoire. What's more, he hugged him tightly. What he held in his arms seemed to be the Tome that made everyone crazy!

The two major forces compete, unveiling chaos and disputes

The grimoire has surfaced, and the two major forces, the Vampire Tribe and the Church, are also ready to make a move. The photographer's A costume Bloody Sword and the cowboy's A costume Misfit will be on the same stage to perform the battle of the grimoire.

Bloody Sword is a powerful elder of the Vampire Clan. The gargoyle standing next to him is stepping on a tombstone, and two candles are burning under the tombstone. Who has this destiny been prepared for by Bloody Sword?
