Victor senses Lara in danger and breaks out of a stone dungeon. Inside the cathedral, Father Aldric and a red-eyed woman trap Lara in a magic circle to pull the ring from her finger. Her soul begins to fracture under the ritual. Victor bursts through the cathedral doors holding a death scythe. He strikes Aldric's holy barrier, but a sudden memory of Elena burning at the stake hits him as he fights to save Lara.
Victor wakes up inside a stone dungeon cell with glowing blue eyes. He feels the immediate threat to Lara and unlocks his sealed divine energy. He leaps upward and smashes directly through the iron bars of the ceiling window.
Lara remains trapped inside an illuminated magic circle on the cathedral floor. Father Aldric and a red-eyed woman in black oversee the extraction. The ritual pulls hard at the fused ring, and Lara screams as her soul fractures.
Victor shatters the cathedral's heavy entrance doors and marches into the sanctuary. He summons a death scythe in his hands. He walks straight toward the ritual circle and strikes Father Aldric's glowing golden cross barrier with full force.
Severe pain grips Victor's head during the assault. A vision of his past lover Elena burning on a cross flashes through his mind. Victor refocuses on the altar and vows that he will not allow Lara to die like Elena.
“Stop! My soul... it's shattering!”
“Hurry, Aldrich! The ring is about to come off!”
“Who dares touch her?”
“Elena... No, Lara. I won't let you die again.”
Victor stands in the cathedral, reeling from the sudden memory of Elena burning at the stake a century ago. He glares at Father Aldric's holy barrier, refusing to lose Lara to the same fate. Can Victor break the golden barrier and rescue Lara before her fractured soul completely shatters?
