Rebirth (manhwa)

Rebirth is published in English by Tokyopop, with adaptation by Bryce P. Coleman and Aaron Sparrow.

Engaging in combat, most of the party is quickly killed, leaving only Sang-Ho, his daughter Remi, and an exorcist, Millenear Shephield.

Sang-Ho decides to sacrifice himself to Deshwitat to give him enough power to save his daughter and Millenear.

After Deshwitat metamorphoses Sang-Do's body into resurrection dust, he reassures Remi that upon his death, her father would return to life as a human being.

Millenear tells him that she is unable to teach light magic herself, but she does know of a Buddhist monastery in Hong Kong that could be able to instruct him.

Deshwitat discovers that the swordsman is his old friend Rett Butler, who should have died over 300 years ago, and his fighting companion Beryun.

He is ambushed by a large group of priests, which also include the elite special forces unit of the Catholic Church, the Order of St. Michael.

She reawakens his thirst for vengeance, and he devastates the party, taking one of the Order of St. Michael, a girl named Erica, hostage.

Master Tae insists that they take Eiji since he is vital to contacting the New York ninja sect.

He begins to battle Grey, who stops the fight, saying they will continue it at the Vampire Lord Tournament.

At the tournament, Deshwitat faces off against Millenear, who while held captive, was turned into a vampire herself by Rang.

Draistail leads Rett, Beryun, Remi, and the Order of St. Michael into a trap that he along with Grey and the Council of 6 had set up.

Grey calls the Elder vampire to let them go, and he allows Deshwitat to strike him in the chest, severely wounding him.

Under Kalutika's influence, she moves to kill him but he is saved by the Elder Vampire, who teleports them to safety.
