### Summary
Confirming the audience's fears from the previous chapter, this chapter depicts the tragic death of Father Michael. The event serves as a pivotal inciting incident, with readers acknowledging it as the catalyst that will propel the protagonist, Hayan, onto her path of revenge. Michael is killed during a confrontation with a villain, identified by readers as an Angel of Death, and is ultimately crushed by a pillar. The emotional core of the chapter revolves around Hayan's helplessness; she is forced to watch her caretaker die because intervening would have exposed her pureblood vampire identity, rendering Michael's sacrifice to protect her secret meaningless. This has left her with immense guilt and elicited a powerful, sorrowful reaction from readers, who express profound grief and heartbreak over the loss of the recently developed "battle priest" character. While some debate whether Hayan could have saved him, others argue his injuries were too severe, making his death tragically inevitable regardless of her intervention. His death is seen as a necessary, albeit painful, stepping stone for Hayan's character development, forcing her to confront her past and embrace her powers.
