He rescued them from a skeleton, making himself known. There, he encountered Cyril and Alexis, the self-proclaimed vampire hunters. It wasn't long before Richter tracked down the vampire attacks.

Richter sends a letter to Maria, warning her about vampire attacks in the village that she and Alucard were staying in, he also tells her to be wary of the vampire. Alucard then proceeded to face his father for the second time, while Richter and Maria awaited for him outside the castle.ДЄfter the events of Symphony of the Night, Richter quit the vampire hunting job ashamed for being manipulated by Shaft, but wields again the sacred whip, the Vampire Killer, to help Maria and Alucard. Alucard fought him and freed Richter from the possession by destroying Shaft's crystal ball, severing the link between him and the hunter, and then moved on to stop the evil priest who later revealed that he brainwashed Richter because, due to his status as a Belmont, he was supreme among vampire hunters and thus could not be defeated in a straight up fight between various ones, effectively acting as a deterrent regarding anyone trying to stop Dracula's resurrection.

If I bring him back now, the battle can last for eternity!'. One chance for each Belmont to shine, and then we're finished, forgotten. Richter was manipulated because he was not feeling totally pleased with his victory over the Count, as he told Alucard: 'Dracula rises once a century. Shaft, who had somehow survived the events of Rondo of Blood by preserving his soul inside an invisible crystal ball, managed to manipulate Richter four years later to be the new master of the castle and aid him to revive Dracula, acting as the ultimate guard so nobody could stop his schemes. After ridding the town of creatures of the night, Richter, obligated to battle the Dark Lord in every incarnation, slayed the Count's massive army вЂ“including ShaftвЂ“ alongside Maria, who joined his quest after rescuing her, and together arrived in time to both save the women and defeat Dracula - proving to himself that he was worthy of his vampire-hunting destiny. After Richter dispelled the attacks, Death took his leave, although not before vowing that he wouldn't go easy on the vampire hunter in their inevitable next encounter. On his way to the village via wagon, Richter was ambushed by Dracula's second in command, Death, with the latter also 'testing' him by using various attacks on him.
