The chapter opens with a fight against a seemingly invisible assassin whose sharp, rune-inscribed dagger presents a serious threat. The main character uses a whip as a counter-weapon and activates a trap, demonstrating a calculated plan. Later, the focus shifts to the group's camp, where a captured vampire reveals the existence of a blood contract and they start to forge upgraded weapons using the vampire blood for alchemical enhancements. The arrival of Pastor Grasse adds a layer of urgency, unveiling a vampire army led by Duke Dracula and providing a weapon of the progenitor vampire Cain to fight against it.
