As Vandal and his allies were working to take back Talosheim from the demon barren, vampires with orders to assassinate Vandal appeared in the city. But Vandal acquired the skill Soul Crusher and was able to successfully avenge his own father, Varen, by killing the noble species vampire Sercrent. He subsequently ventured beneath Talosheim Castle and also crushed the soul of the Frozen Spear Ice Age. However, while all that was going on, an expedition army from the Milg Shield Kingdom-including High Priest Goldan, one of those who killed Vandal's mother-was preparing to invade Talosheim.
