Jean Firebrand, the older brother of Fernand Firebrand and an S-Rank Hunter was cursed.
A few minutes after talking with his brother and discovering that he found the Blood Core, absorbed it, and gained a strange Ability that turned him into a Dhampir, he felt a strange, dark force gripping his soul and blood.
I was a strange, black-colored claw of ethereal darkness, an abyssal form that even an S-Rank Hunter like him could not easily suppress…
It was outstanding to the point that he felt lethargic…
An S-Rank Hunter like him, feeling lethargic!
It was truly something out of this world.
Who could have even done such a thing to him?
Jean kept using his Aura and powerful senses and abilities related to them in unison, wasting a lot of Mana.
He inserted his very will inside of his body and soul, finding the darkness encompassing his existence, the cause of the curse.
"Hahh… What is this?" he wondered, as he tried to grasp it with his will.
CLASH!
