The Witch Hunter System

Within the northern parts of the Kingdom of Black Rose, an enormous crescent-shaped canyon with rocky cliffs as steep as the snowy mountain peaks existed.

It was called the Blackmoon Region.

Because a black crescent moon is observable in the canyon during the rise and fall of the sun, it was named as such.

With Blackmoon City situated at the bottom of it, the canyon ’s cliffs became the city ’s natural eastern and western walls, enabling the city to become a defensive pass against the demons of the Ashfallen Forest.

If the northern fronts ever fell, Blackmoon City will become one of few important footholds in holding back the demons from invading the rest of the continent.

’If a day where the northern fronts fell, it would also signify the end of the Kingdom of Black Rose, ’ Vaan thought.

Even a five-year-old kid would understand the reason why.

The kingdom ’s capital city was established in the north, and so were all the strongest powers in the kingdom were gathered.

Nevertheless, Vaan didn ’t dwell on the topic and quickly refocused his attention on the northern outskirts of Blackmoon City, where Dark Hellhounds are frequently sighted.

They were dog-like demon beasts with dark features, sharp fangs, claws, and nimble feet, making them incredible and dangerous hunters in the darkness of the canyon.

Typically, their strengths varied between Rank 1 to Rank 3, but mostly Rank 1. Unless Vaan was extremely unlucky, encountering a Rank 3 Dark Hellhound was unlikely if he followed closely along the stream.

’Rank 1 Dark Hellhounds usually roam the canyon while the stronger ones only lurk inside the caves along the cliff edges and wait for their minions to bring back the hunt of the day, ’ Vaan pondered.

Although he felt like he could defeat a Rank 1 Dark Hellhounds, these demon beasts don ’t always travel alone.
