Summary
As Yoh and the others are wandering in town, Ryu takes of together with Tokageroh to watch a movie about vampires in the movie house. As Tokageroh leaves the room because he finds the movie too scary, Ryu gets attacked by a "real" vampire. Meanwhile, entrance to the town where Yoh and the others are is being guarded by the X-Laws. As the Lily Five asks the X-Laws why, they tell them that it's to prevent Hao from hurting people. Meanwhile as Yoh and the others find an unconscious Ryu, Ren starts to wonder if he was attacked by a Shaman. As Ellie and Millie show up, Ryu wakes up and attacks them all of a sudden, but Horohoro is able to stop him. Lyserg then states that someone who gets bitten by a vampire, becomes a vampire himself. Lyserg then tells everyone about a novel he read called "Dracula". Damayaji, the priest in the church also tells Yoh and the others that "Dracula" was based upon a real person known as Vlad Dracula. Meanwhile, Yohmei tells Anna to deliver the Cho-Senjiryakketsu to Yoh and states that she had learned everything the clan had to offer. As Yoh and the others are wondering about what to do next, the vampire is seen receiving "powers" from Damayaji. As Lyserg decides to go outside and finds the X-Laws, he talks with Marco about their goal to defeat Hao.

Meanwhile at the church, Ryu has broken out of the ice and attacks Horohoro. After Ryu has bitten Horohoro, he turns into his normal self and doesn't know anything about his actions anymore, shocking Yoh and the others. As Horohoro then turns into a vampire and attacks Yoh and the others, Lyserg shows up and stops him with his pendulum. As Lyserg wants to perform his strongest attack on Horohoro, Yoh and the others stop him and save Horohoro. As Yoh furiously asks Lyserg is he was planning to kill Horohoro, Lyserg answers that he was because if he let him alive, everyone could have been turned into a vampire and if so, they would never be able to defeat Hao. Meanwhile Ellie and Millie are ambushed by Damayaji and the vampire, who reveals himself as Boris. As Damayaji asks Boris if he should kill the girls, Boris stabs Damayaji while stating that he was just a mere human. As Yoh and the others show up, Boris confronts Ren while stating that his is one of Hao's followers. As Lyserg then attack him Boris dodges the attack and bites Lyserg while stating that Lyserg's angry heart is full of openings.
