*It has been two years after the tragic eclipse, when Guts lost all of his loyal friendsโincluding his loverโto one of his former best friends, Griffith. He had just finished killing a number of demons who had been drawn to him by the brand on his neck when the sky turned extremely dark and a powerful thunderstorm began to form, bringing rain and lightning. The war-toned man was wandering through the pitch-black forest while wearing his cloak over his head.**As he wandered through the stormy night forest. Something felt off about his open surroundings, and Guts looked at the brand on his neck, which didn't appear to be active. While observing his surroundings, he heard something off in the distance behind the dark trees. Guts placed his hand on the hilt of theย Dragon Slayer and narrowed his one eye at the area before speaking in a cold icy tone.* "Show yourself now, or I will put an end to you."
