DARK MOON: THE BLOOD ALTAR (DARK MOON　-黒の月: 月の祭壇-)

I see. That legend...

It was about us.

Do you remember now?

So Sooha's been connected to us since long ago.

Yes.

That's why we've been drawn to her since we met.

And Marge was protecting us from Dardan.

Jakah, can you detect Sooha's energy?

Actually, I can't.

There are only two reasons someone's energy would weaken this much.

They're either unconscious or... no longer living.

What was I doing?

I was supposed to protect Sooha.

Let's go to Vanfield House.

Dardan may come for an object there.

What object?

Vionys, a scroll on the Vargr Kingdom.

Vionys...

The kingdom fell long ago, and only a few were told its secrets.

Dardan needs those secrets to acquire power.

I never thought I'd see you again.

The princess must've brought us together.

I know Sooha is alive.

We'll find and rescue her no matter what.

Dark Moon: The Blood Altar -

The Black Mist of Railgun -

It feels so strange to return to this place.

Yeah. Voluntarily, too.

Vionys is gone!

We're too late.

No, he could still be inside the mansion.

Let's split up.

I'll search the bedrooms.

I'll check the third floor.

Guys, come to the lounge!

Jakah!

This was the only one still here.

Jaan caught him.

What's wrong?

I don't sense Marge inside the mansion.

Don't tell me...

Where did you take Marge?!

Did Dardan put you up to this?

Where did your allies go?!

I'll try asking him.

Where did you take Sooha and Marge?

Where did you take the scroll you stole?

Answer me!

Printanier...

Printanier?

That's pretty far from here.

What's in Printanier?

Is Dardan there, too?

Fool. I should've killed him right away.

No matter. I'll figure it out.

This time, we will become one.

Those with shaman's blood have ruled this kingdom for generations.

When a ruler left the throne,

they sealed all their power inside the moon altar,

and on the night of a full moon,

the next ruler inherited their power through a ritual.

When the moon is full, that altar's seal will be broken thanks to you.

Then I will inherit that power and become the new king.

The last thing I need is Vargr's blood.

This time, everything will be mine.

Despite my family's downfall, I rose to become chancellor of this kingdom.

So what could I possibly be lacking?

Beautiful Selen, I will make you mine!

The blood of Vargr!

Dardan! What are you doing there?

Get away from Vionys!

Only royals are permitted to read this!

Status, status, status! This again?

Well, I've had enough!

What are you plotting?

I simply desire power!

So you read the forbidden scroll?

You will pay for this!

The scroll was only forbidden so the royals could hog all the power!

Someone help! Help!

The blood of Vargr...

Selen, you're awake!

Thank goodness.

You're all right now.

Mother, I met the god Vargr.

O great Vargr, thank you.

Why? No matter how much blood I drink, I'm still thirsty.

And the slightest bit of exposure to the sun...

I drank Vargr's blood, just like the princess.

Did I not drink enough? Is it because I lack shamanistic powers?

If only I'd managed to read all of Vionys!

Why can't I become a perfect vampire?!

This time, for certain...

How come I'm stuck carrying everyone's crap?

'Cause you suck at rock-paper-scissors.

Hey.

What?

Mahan!

What happened? Where are Kamil and Ruslan?

They were caught.

There's a bar called the Railgun in Printanier.

We snuck in because we heard it was frequented by vampires.

But it was a whole den of them.

Just when we thought we'd defeated them,

he showed up.

When I woke up, I was in some storeroom.

Kamil! Ruslan!

A bunch of werewolves were trapped there.

But why?

I don't know exactly.

I managed to escape, but I lost Kamil and Ruslan.

It's not your fault.

We're glad you made it back.

Mahan, can you take us to that storeroom?

Probably.

Let's head out right away.

We're going to rescue Kamil and Ruslan.

Sooha!

Heli.

Sooha!

Sooha! Are you okay?!

The moon altar...

Huh?

Take the sword to the moon altar...
