As the season progressed, Richter and his group faced numerous challenges and met a powerful vampire coven led by Erzsebet Bathory.

Bathory aimed to create a world ruled by vampires, with her at the center as the Vampire Messiah. In a tragic turn of events, Erzsebet turned Tera, a former Speaker and Maria’s mother, into a vampire. This left Richter’s group devastated and outmatched as they battled Erzsebet’s forces during a solar eclipse.

Just when Drolta was on the verge of killing Richter, Alucard, the half-vampire son of Dracula, dramatically returned, killing Drolta and saving Richter’s party from certain death.
