Rauoul, seeking to avenge his lover Sophie's death, sacrifices his soul to become a vampire and fight the hunters.
After a fight, he commits suicide out of refusal to be defeated by humans. In the castle, Guillaume kidnaps Caroline and is pursued by the hunters to the rooftops.
Bathe'lemy duels the hunters in the village square, but is defeated. Along the way, they rescue a young girl named Caroline from villagers who are under the influence of the vampiric Sarcoma. In 2006, Michel and Albert track Auguste's location to a castle located near a 19th century-era French village.
However, fearing death, he stripped the hunters of their powers and enlisted his followers – Bathe'lemy, a knight Guillaume, a mad scientist Rauoul, a misanthropic fencer and Diane, a mermaid and Auguste's lover – to stop them. 300 years ago, the vampiric leader Auguste tired of immortality and created vampire hunters Michel and Albert to end his own life.
