The malevolent Count uses his dark powers to transform the captain of his guard into a horrific, inhuman beast, with the aim of killing Guts, the Black Swordsman. Meanwhile, Puck, the elf accompanying Guts, is captured and offered as a gift to the Count's innocent daughter, whom her father keeps imprisoned in her room.
Guts, determined to kill the Count—and, if he has time, to save his friend—attacks the castle and faces the former captain, now a demon, in a bloody duel! Until he stands before the Demonic Count, who, when revealing his true form, makes Guts' enormous sword look like a mere toothpick...

Kentaro Miura's dark and violent epic narrates the terrifying adventures of the mercenary Guts in a fantastical Middle Ages, brimming with magic and dark creatures. Guts' dark journey continues in this second volume from "Anubis Manga".
