Humanity survives on the fringes, relying on a special kind of hero to defend the people from danger -- the Monster Hunters!

Meanwhile, Keres is in pursuit of a Fire Wyvern when he reunites with Raiga after two years apart. How will the party handle a simultaneous hunt for the King of the Skies and the Lord of the Seas?"--from cover.
