When troubling news arrives from the Church, the situation grows dire. A new demonic presence has devastated the Capital. Godd Deos is dead.

Elisabeth and Kaito rush to the scene to face the threat but are wholly unprepared for what they find… The contractors of the final three demons—the Monarch, the Grand Monarch, and the King—have been fused together to create a living nightmare…
The Torture Princess has fulfilled her duty, and the fourteen demon contractors have been laid low. Yet, when the time comes for Elisabeth to burn—forsaken by heaven, earth, and all of humanity—the fifteenth demon contractor, Kaito Sena, host of the Kaiser, appears and declares himself the enemy of mankind. In light of this, Elisabeth receives a new lease on life as the heartrending task of hunting him down is forced upon her. Now on the run, Kaito and Hina find themselves in the company of beastfolk who wish to “receive the enemy of mankind as an honored guest.” They are not without their own share of problems, however. Someone has been slaughtering their kin in the most gruesome ways imaginable. If Kaito’s instincts are correct, these killings could be the work only of demons. But the demons have been dealt with…Haven’t they?

The fourteen demons’ defeat should have ended the story, but instead the tale grew even crueler, forcing all involved to make a terrible choice. After being invited into the underground tomb by the golden Torture Princess, Jeanne de Rais, Kaito and the others come face-to-face with a horrifying truth but elect to cooperate with her to bring about salvation. What paths will Kaito, Elisabeth, Hina, Jeanne, Izabella...and the Butcher each take to alter the fate of a world that nourishes itself on tragedy?

FOR THE BEGINNING, MIDDLE, AND END ALL LIE IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND. Kaito Sena has come a long way. The boy who died broken and alone has donned the mantle of the Mad King and will dedicate every ounce of his newfound might to one purpose: saving the woman he admires. To this end, he has done the impossible and united humans, demi-humans, and beastfolk under one banner. For Elisabeth Le Fanu, Kaito would stand against God, Diablo, and all of creation. Unfortunately, the cost of her salvation may be greater still...
