Marked for death and fated to be hunted by demons until his end, Guts sets out on a path to challenge that grim destiny, as swarms of monsters chase him relentlessly. Firm in his determination, he wields the colossal sword Dragonslayer and swears to punish the one who betrayed him, tracking down the man he once admired and deemed a comrade. During his trek, he meets unexpected companions like a diminutive elf named Puck and Isidro, a youthful thief eager to learn swordplay from the veteran mercenary. As this motley band gradually unites after choosing to accompany Guts, they confront peril beyond anything they have faced before amidst the bleak, unforgiving wilderness where shadows loom and hope is scarce into the abyss forever.
