The Lawless City Shadow Garden informs Cid large amounts of money have been flowing to Lawless City, a crime infested slum that belongs to no kingdom. This coincides with the Red Moon heralding the return of the vampiric Elizabeth the Crimson Blood Queen, one of Lawless City’s three rulers. Cid decides to investigate since he was going to Lawless City anyway. Goldy and Quinton approach Elizabeth’s tower and are confronted by White Devil, a notorious murder enslaved as Elizabeth’s guard dog. Cid is shown visiting Lawless City with Claire, who had been sent by the Dark Knight Association to slay vampires, and dragged Cid with her. They pass Goldy and Quinton, beaten and sold to a slaver. The city’s vampires send their ghoul servants to destroy the city. Cid is “saved” by Mary the Ancient Vampire Hunter and is excited to meet the newest character in his role playing game. Skel and Po are also attacked by ghouls, having visited the city hoping to lose their virginities to prostitutes. As Shadow, Cid saves a prostitute named Marie. Claire encounters Mary and after some confusion regarding Cid’s description, believes he was taken as a sacrifice to awaken Elizabeth. Cid rescues the surviving Dark Knights, the rest having deserted from fear of the ghouls. The city’s other rulers, Yukime the White Fox Spirit and Juggernaut the Black Tyrant, attack each other but are interrupted by Cid.
