In the heart of the lawless city, two titans make their grand entrance: Juggernaut the Tyrant, a brutal, battle-hungry brute, and Yukime the Ghost Fox, a mystical figure fascinated by the celestial drama of the red moon. Both have set their sights on the enigmatic Blood Queen Elisabeth, setting the stage for a thrilling showdown.
Inside the labyrinthine tower, the paths of Claire Kagenou and Mary, the ancient vampire hunter, cross with those of Beta from Shadow Garden. Beta is on a cryptic mission, collecting blood samples to unravel the genetic secret linking the ancient vampires and the Possessed. A tense standoff ensues, but both parties agree to a non-interference pact. Beta, however, is displeased and reminds them that their ultimate goal lies in the hands of Lord Shadow.
As Claire and Mary delve deeper into the tower, layers of secrets are uncovered. Mary confesses her vampiric lineage and recounts the tragic tale of "Haven," a utopian dream where vampires and humans once lived in harmony—until it was shattered a millennium ago by a red moon event. Claire, in turn, reveals her tormenting fear of becoming a monster due to her potential Possession. Their journey takes a dangerous turn when they encounter Juggernaut the Tyrant. A fierce battle ensues, pushing them to their limits. They barely escape, but not without cost. Mary is forced to drink Claire’s blood to heal, revealing her true vampiric nature.
Elsewhere in the tower, Cid—who is none other than Shadow—is on his own treasure hunt. He collects coins, not just for their value, but as part of a grander scheme. He plans to defeat the boss vampire in such a spectacular fashion that all others will be left in awe.
The episode culminates in a tension-filled moment as Crimson, a devoted follower of the Blood Queen, stands on the verge of awakening her. At that very moment, Shadow makes his appearance, signaling that the hour of reckoning is near and the frenzy has officially begun. As the red moon casts its ominous glow, the episode ends, leaving the audience breathless.
