Summary[]

Hank, Schaal, and Lisa arrived in Whitechurch, a almost lawless slum city.In order to find out Cain's purpose, they asked many local residents. However, because Hank and Lisa were military, The residents completely refused to answer and will cooperate their questions, so they got no relevant information.

That night, Schaal discovered that Hank's jacket still had a hole in it from the shotgun she shot, so she began patching the hole in the jacket. Schaal said she was good at sewing, explaining that she once mended the clothes of orphans at her father's orphanage. Hank explains that he grew up in an orphanage in a foster care facility where he was unreliable and always in need of care. When Hank noticed that Schaal's eyes were blue, he thought of Elaine. Hank felt comforted and gradually recalled that Elaine had helped him mend his clothes in the past.

Hank said that he knew someone with the same blue eyes as Schaal. Schaal knew that the person Hank was talking about was actually Elaine, so she asked Hank about the time when he mentioned Elaine's name while talking in his sleep. Hank told Schaal that because he was dreaming about the scene where Elaine is killed by Cain before.Hank explains to Schaal that Incarnates will one day lose their hearts as humans. At that time, Elaine, as the founder of Incarnates, also understood the serious consequences. She knew that she had to take responsibility for the creation of Incarnates. At first, Hank understood that Elaine wanted to complete her due responsibility, but Cain kills Elaine and releases all the Incarnates. Hank did not know Cain's motives for killing Elaine and his reasons for releasing all the Incarnates,he only know as long as  the Incarnates lost their humanity and rationality ,they will attack human no matter what happen for everything. he can do only thing is to kill all the Incarnates before they begin to degenerate into beasts, so that they can be buried as humans for his last duty as the leader of the Incarnate army. Hank said he also wants to find Elaine who was killed and find answers while killing Cain. Schaal is astonished by the fact that Hank has become a hunter who hunts the beast incarnate and why he embarks on the journey, and she feels sympathy for Hank who has to endure all the pain and everything alone.

The next day, Lisa woke up Schaal and took her and Hank to see a woman who was killed and crucified overnight. At this time, Hank discovered that the woman who was crucified was not killed by Cain because He saw the claw marks of a beast on the body of the murdered woman.At this time, Andy, a little boy who witnessed the murder, explained to the police officers and the onlookers that he knew who the murderer was, but was rejected. When Hank understood from Andy's mouth that Topher, the Gargoyle Incarnate, committed the crime, he remembered Topher comforted many members who were about to give up the fight on during the war. He cheered them up with his sense of justice and infinite will that defeated the Federation. Andy's sudden departure made Schaal worry about him. She got Hank's half-agreement to chase Andy, while Lizzie chose to leave to deal with other orders because she received orders from the military.

After Schaal found Andy and explained the reason why she followed Hank and the fact and opinion that she thinks the Incarnates are still human were still human beings. At this time, she found that Andy suddenly took an apple from a vendor and asked him what he did. Seeing the scars on his arms, Andy explains to Schaal how he once witnessed a gargoyle kill his mother.Suddenly, Topher appears and interrogates Andy for his crime (theft). Schaal questioned the gargoyle but was unable to shoot him. Fortunately, Hank appeared to stop the gargoyle and saved Schaal and Andy, but he were attacked and injured. After Hank damaged one of the Topher 's wings with a Godkiller bullet, Topher retreated tell Hank that fighting against him would betray justice and make him a sinner, he told Hank that he would wait for his arrival in an abandoned church.

That night, Topher was bored by the environment in the white church, when Cain and a girl named Miglieglia approached Topher. Topher told Cain that he would not follow him until he had accomplished justice in the area, as he would only kill all those who committed crimes. Cain knew Topher's personality, so he gave Topher a Godkiller bullet. Before he left, Cain told Topher that they would meet again when he could complete justice. While Hank was dealing with his injuries and soon decided to go find Topher, he asked Schaal that it would be safer to stay in the hotel. Before he left, he asked Schaal that she had better leave the White Church immediately tomorrow morning if he didn't come back. Hank left the hotel and came to the church. When he saw many people hanging above the church and killed by Topher, he immediately rushed to the gargoyle but found that it was just a stone statue. Not long after, he was attacked Topher's attack. Elsewhere, Schaal is distressed by Hank's request that she leave town tomorrow morning. When she discovers her rifle is missing, she realizes that Andy may be going to church. She completely ignores Hank's warning go to the church alone to stop Andy.

Hank successfully subdues Topher after transforming into his werewolf form and engaging in a fierce battle with him. However, Topher shot Hank with a Godkiller bullet and suppressed him. Topher interrogated Hank if he knew what they existed as Incarnates and what they had fought for until now. Topher explained that he was unable to accept the end of the war. When he failed to achieve any justice, he tried to tell his comrades to keep fighting, but instead they became suspicious and parted ways, and he returned to his hometown of Whitechurch, where he was feared by all the residents.At this time, Andy came to support Hank with Schaal's rifle, but was knocked to the ground because he failed to shoot Topher. Schaal rushed to help Andy up and questioned the Topher 's motives. Topher told Schaal that her behavior made him When he recalled how he accidentally killed a boy who had committed a theft while trying to talk to him and was treated as a monster, his conflicted heart completely collapsed and he was immersed in the joy of killing the sinner.When Schaal fails to stop Topher, Hank immediately pulls out the bullet lodged in his body and briefly transforms into a werewolf, thrusting his hand into the Topher's chest and executing him. Topher believe he was a righteous until Hank was to shot him. Before Topher died, he told Hank that he knew that Hank's killing of many of their comrades with his own hands was not an act of justice at all.

Schaal felt conflicted about the gargoyles' behavior and sadly asked Hank the reason for all this. Before Hank fell to his knees due to injuries, he told Schaal that because their power was too strong, no Incarnates could. Continuing to maintain his humanity, when Schaal wanted to help Hank up but was entangled in spider silk, at this moment Cain appeared in front of Schaal and Hank and said that since they are incarnations, they can achieve what no one can achieve concept, when Cain asks Hank if he ever experienced the thought of being shot by a Godkiller bullet again, Hank realizes that it was Cain who handed Topher a Godkiller bullet. Schaal was surprised by Cain's behavior, but before she could react, she was knocked unconscious by Elizabeth who suddenly appeared behind her. Cain told Hank that he showed up to invite him. Cain told Hank If he comes to the party he is hosting tomorrow night, he will let Schaal go and ensure her safety. Hank fell to the ground before he could retort to Cain. The next morning, Lisa stood with Claude Withers and members of Coup de Grace, overlooking Whitechurch. Claude said that the time has come and said that he could not wait to find and defeat Cain.
