| Determined to rescue his master, Nathan fought his way to the Ceremonial Room and saved Morris, defeating Dracula in battle. The Dark Lord retreated to a dark realm to recover his strength, and as Hugh carried his father to safety, Nathan stayed behind to face Dracula once more. Emerging victorious, Nathan confronted Dracula, who warned him that his victory was futile since he would continue to return as long as darkness and human desire existed. Nathan replied that they would always be there to stop him. | | Determined to rescue his master, Nathan fought his way to the Ceremonial Room and saved Morris, defeating Dracula in battle.
