Story
Events of Nocturne of Reminiscence
One day, Alexis and Ciryl heard about recent vampire activity in a nearby village and the two headed there, because Ciryl expected to find the murderer of his sister, who had recently fallen victim to a vampire's attack. When they arrived at the town, they noticed that Ciryl potion was changing color, suggesting that an evil presence was nearby. A while later, the two approached a young woman named Maria Renard and told her it wasn't safe and that she must return home immediately.
That night, the two vampire hunters encountered a werewolf. They were eventually able to slay the creature. A man who had been examining the skirmish from a distance approached them while clapping and complimented Ciryl on his performance. Ciryl was annoyed because he thought that he was being made fun of, but he was calmed down Alexis. They noticed that the man wielded a whip which radiated tremendous power and they realised that he was the Richter Belmont who sealed Dracula away six years prior. Ciryl demanded that Richter tell them what he knew about the recent events, and the vampire hunter replied that he would tell the duo everything he knew if they were able to defeat him in battle. Ciryl was about to charge at Richter, but he was stopped by Alexis, who sensed Richter's power and told him that it was not the time to be messing around. The two eventually left, much to Ciryl's protest.
The next morning, Alexis and Ciryl encountered Maria wandering around in the woods again and they were upset to find her there, since she did not go home as they told her to. Maria then revealed that she was a vampire hunter of the Belmont Clan, but the two men blew it off as absurd. Alexis then declared that the era of fighting vampires with whips and swords had come to an end and their 'medicine' was the perfect weapon. Maria sensed an evil power radiating from the potion and asked them to hand it over. When they refused, she tried to grab it but accidentally got in contact with the substance while doing so. The liquid immediately effected her and she fell to the ground while undergoing tremendous pain. Suddenly, Richter Belmont came rushing towards her and quickly carried her to her home, while leaving the two dumbfounded hunters behind.
While still continuing their investigation, the two vampire hunters were suddenly attacked by an Incubus named Magnus, who spirited Alexis away. Alexis was able to escape from the clutches of the demon, but was heavily injured. While running through the forest he encountered Ciryl accompanied by Richter, the dhampir Alucard, and his familiar, the Imp, who had been looking for him. Alexis was followed by Lyudmil, a figure from Alucard's past who despised humans because of what they did to Lisa, and had chosen to become a vampire as a result. Lyudmil revealed that it was he who had been attacking the townsfolk. Ciryl was outraged, because that would mean that Lyudmil was responsible for the death of his younger sister.
Richter, along with Alucard engaged Lyudmil and Magnus in battle while Ciryl went over to the injured Alexis to make sure Alexis wouldn't succumb to his wounds. Magnus was planning on luring Alucard to his father's side again by playing on his emotions. Magnus had Alucard come in contact with a former friend who also knew his mother. Magnus was planning on resurrecting Dracula's castle and making Alucard its new Lord.
While Richter was fighting Lyudmil, the vampire summoned an enormous flock of bats and commanded them to attack his enemy. Richter tried to fight them and was almost overwhelmed. He was saved by Maria, who had recovered and arrived at the battle. She was able to rescue Alucard, who had been hypnotized by Magnus. Due to a blast of light Maria created, Lyudmil snapped out of his hypnosis and realised that he was being manipulated by the Incubus all along. Alexis then came rushing to the scene of battle and shouted at Richter to smash Magnus' claws, because those were the source of his powers. Richter did so, and Alucard was able to vanquish Magnus, but a gravely injured Lyudmil died in the process. Nonetheless, prosperity was secured for the time being.
