Ella infiltrates Victor's castle under the blood moon and corners him on a terrace. She draws her gun, but Victor mocks the Silver Blade. She fires twice. Victor catches a bullet barehanded and dodges the next as red mist. He reveals that he posted the bounty on himself to end his thousand-year existence. When Ella refuses to assist him, Victor binds her with blood magic while she screams for her life and freedom.
Ella slips quietly into the ancient castle beneath the red glow of a blood moon. She moves past stone arches and navigates the dark gothic corridors. Step by step, she closes in on the open terrace where Victor stands alone.
Victor gazes up at the blood moon with a glass of wine in hand. Ella approaches him with her gun raised and declares his time is up. Victor drops his glass, smashes it, and mocks the quality of Silver Blade hunters.
Ella pulls the trigger. Victor shifts instantly to a chair and catches the flying bullet with his bare fingers. Ella shoots again. Victor dissolves into a cloud of red mist, avoids the attack, and teleports directly beside her.
Victor reveals he posted the bounty because living for a thousand years exhausted him. Ella questions his motives and refuses to cooperate. Victor casts blood magic to immobilize her. Ella struggles violently against the bindings and screams for her freedom and life.
“Victor, your time is up!”
“So, this is the best blood hunter the Silver Blade has to offer? I am not impressed.”
“Tell me... Who do you think put up the bounty?”
“Let me go, I want to live! I want my freedom!”
Victor immobilizes Ella with his blood magic, trapping her firmly in place. Ella writhes against the supernatural hold and shouts that she wants to survive and regain her freedom. Victor stares into her eyes as his expression shifts slightly. Will Victor finish off the defiant assassin, or will her fierce desire to live change his plans?
