Summary of OVA:
The human world is in great turmoil due to the many wars among the human kingdoms. Muzaka and Ashleen witness the horrors of War in dismay and seek refuge in isolation. Ashleen believed that Muzaka was an uncle who used to visit frequently. They lead a humble and blissful life in a cottage at the bottom of a gorge.
One day in Lukedonia, Muzaka visits his loving friend, Rai after a long time and convinces him to leave his mansion and see the world outside. He introduces him to Ashleen and reveals that her mother was one of the many innocents who lost their lives due to the wars created by human greed. Muzaka adds that he intends to protect Ashleen at all cost and ensure that she experiences human happiness i.e age naturally, fall in love, start a family, etc. He wants her to have a normal life.
In Lukedonia, the traitor noble clan leaders learn that Muzaka and his daughter were seen. They discuss the time for Maduke to start the last phase of their plan has come, and that the wars were orchestrated by him as a part the plan to kill Rai and Muzaka. The traitors have colluded with Maduke and hid their activities from their noble Lord in order to put the Noblesse to eternal sleep. Urokai is rather skeptical as he doubts that Rai would fight his only friend but Lagus reminds him that Rai had killed members of his own race (nobles) to protect humans. Lagus tells them to rejoice since centuries of their efforts have finally come to fruition.
Maduke employs some humans to keep an eye on Muzaka and helps them to conquer more kingdoms. According to him, the only way for long lasting peace to prevail is that the world should be ruled by the strong...war is just a medium.
Rai defends Muzaka from Maduke and his werewolf cannon fodder when they arrive at the gorge. Muzaka and Ashleen decide to hide in the Northern Mountains. Before leaving, Rai remarks that Muzaka has changed greatly.
Back at the mansion, Frankenstein informs Rai that one of the clan leaders had come to tell them that the human wars have spread to the Northern mountains. Rai has a sudden premonition and leaves in the blink of an eye. Frankenstein finds it's strange that a clan leader came by to brief them about human wars. Frankenstein notices that his Master is no longer in the mansion....
As the chaos of the war spreads, one of Maduke's henchmen takes a group of human soldiers with him to kill Ashleen. Maduke plans to enrage Muzaka by killing his only child and shift the blame on the humans. The henchmen successfully find Ashleen. She overpowers four human soldiers and escapes on horseback. Unfortunately, she is followed by the werewolf sent by Maduke. He shoots her with a crossbow arrow instead of using his werewolf powers to fool Muzaka. Ashleen collapses in Muzaka's arms and dies. Muzaka is grief stricken and blames humans for taking away everything he cared for: First his human lover and then his daughter.
Rai arrives at the scene and tries to calm Muzaka. The werewolf Lord tells Rai that he will not understand his pain and shoves him out of his way. Muzaka, who had protected humans in the past, embarks on a rampage to wipe out their entire race, and Rai decides to stop him even if it means fighting his only friend. An epic battle takes place. Muzaka reveals that Ashleen was his daughter, and she died without knowing it. In the end, Muzaka falls unconscious on the ground due to his heavy injuries. Rai escapes from the battle field but is heavily wounded and is on the brink of death. He uses the [[Rai's Earrings|earring]] given to him by the Lord in order to prevent his powers from leaking out and summons a [[Rai's Casket|casket]] in which he enters hibernation. The site where the casket is placed is destroyed by the blast resulting from the final clash between the two. Rai's casket falls in the ocean, and he enters his long slumber.
=== Epilogue : ===
820 years later, a scuba diver who works for a subsidiary of the Union finds the casket in the ocean bed.
(In Ch280 or so it's cleared that the Union has no idea about Rai being in the casket. They sent low level agents to retrieve coffin from the smuggling group who deals in antiques . For Union the casket was just a antique: not worthy of their attention and hence why they used low level and discarded agents like M-21 & M-24).
