Volume 2: The Painful Revelation The silence of the night was interrupted by the banging of Ekkel's door, who found himself suddenly confronted by a violent and relentless attack. The mysterious vampire in the rabbit mask, whose sinister figure had sown chaos and destruction, unleashed a brutal beating on Ekkel. After an hour of agony and pain, Ekkel lay on the floor, barely able to move, his body marked by the cruel marks of violence. The mysterious vampire then removed his mask, revealing himself as Ekkel's own brother, the missing Maryial. The shocking revelation left Ekkel stunned, his mind clouded by physical and emotional suffering. Maryial, with a dark and determined expression, made a demand to Ekkel: abandon the XCO group and allow Maryial to resume the position of leader, or else face a relentless war, with all supernatural beings summoned against the vampire community. Before Ekkel could formulate a response, Maryial disappeared into the ether, leaving him on the ground, injured and with a troubled mind. His brotherly words echoed in her ears, an ultimatum that threatened to destroy not only XCO, but also the fragile foundations of their brotherly relationship.
