Number 69.Vanitas flatters Moreau and declares that he has brought in the Chasseurs to protect him. Deceive by Vanitas' ruse, Moreau entertains them. However, when Vanitas asks about his benefactor, Moreau refuses to answer. Noe loses his temper and attacks Moreau, but Moreau is rescued by a multi-eyed being whom he calls Spider, leaving Noe, Vanitas, and the Chasseurs to face the malnomen Predateur, a black smoke-like monster which devours all life in its path. In desperation, Noe convinces Vanitas to leap with him into its gaping maw. They reach the curse-bearer who is manifesting Predateur and Vanitas cures it. While they all recover, a series of explosions begin to destroy Moreau's complex so Noe and Vanitas exit the catacombs while Roland explains the disturbance to Olivier. Meanwhile, Spider reports Noe's disruption of Moreau's experiments to Ruthven.
