Dante and Johann take Vanitas and Noé to the distant village of Suagues in pursuit of the Beast of Gévaudan. They venture into the Silver Forest, but Noé becomes separated from the others. It starts snowing and Vanitas, Dante, and Johann come across a squad of dragoons, indicating that they may have traveled back in time. Suddenly, they are confronted by the Beast. However, Jeanne appears and stops it. Meanwhile, Noé encounters Astolfo Granatum, a young Chasseur who has identified him as a vampire. Astolfo slaughters the surviving dragoons, then injects himself with a serum to enhance his abilities. They are suddenly interrupted by the arrival of Jeanne fighting the Beast along with Vanitas. Vanitas intercedes and goads Astolfo by purposely insulting him, which causes the appearance of Charalatan's envoy Naenia and the parade of demons. Astolfo loses his mind and Vanitas opens The Book of Vanitas to restore the Beast, but it is struck from his hands by a knife and all goes black. Later, Noé lies unconscious and Chloé has returned to her human form. Jean-Jacques appears and picks up the grimoire, inviting her to return to the Gévaudan castle with him. (Source: Wikipedia)
