Victor grows tired of eternal life and lists a hundred-million-dollar dark web bounty on his own head. Ella, an assassin from Silver Blade, takes the job and infiltrates his castle. She strikes at Victor with a dagger while he lies in bed, but he repels her with blood magic. Victor binds her and mocks her failure. Ella secretly draws a pistol and shoots his head off. As she leaves, Victor speaks behind her.
Victor grows weary of living forever. He posts a hundred-million-dollar assassination bounty on himself on the dark web. Ella receives the hit contract at her Silver Blade assassin base. She takes the mission and travels to Victor's fortress alone.
Ella slips quietly into Victor's bedroom. Victor lies motionless on his bed. She lunges forward and thrusts a short blade at him. Victor opens glowing red eyes and unleashes an invisible force. The impact blasts Ella across the room through the air.
Crimson energy wraps around Ella and pins her in place. Victor stands over her inside the room. He torments her physically and mocks her failed assassination attempt. Ella struggles against the magical bonds while Victor taunts her helplessness up close.
Victor corners Ella completely. She secretly reaches down and grips a concealed firearm. Ella raises the barrel to Victor's skull at point-blank range and pulls the trigger. The gunshot shatters his head, and Victor collapses onto the floor in blood.
Ella gathers her composure and walks toward the bedroom exit to escape. A familiar, calm voice suddenly rings out from behind her back. Ella freezes in terror. She spins around toward the fallen vampire and aims her weapon into the room.
“You have failed yet again. Are you ready for your punishment?”
“Finally... It's over.”
“Where do you think you're going? Did you truly believe that was enough to kill me?”
Ella walks to the bedroom door, confident that her point-blank shot finished the contract. Victor's voice echoes behind her before she can step outside. She spins around in shock and raises her gun at the unharmed vampire king. How will Ella survive against an immortal target who cannot be killed by gunfire?
