Bexel lost everything in a single moment. From then on his world changed, and now the flame of revenge burns darkly in his heart. Along the way, he repays the wounds he receives from the death throes of monsters in the pursuit of vengeance. To those who look upon him, his soul appears to burn with...

Thanks to the Hunters gathered in Pokke Village, the threat of the approaching monsters has passed. However, many are injured and one person is missing, so they can hardly celebrate their battle prowess. The fight has taught Raiga his lack of skill and he loses sight of his original objective. Then Torche invites him to go with her to see the village where he grew up.

Near the village where he was born, Raiga sees a phantasmal Elder Dragon know as a Kirin and decides to hunt it. But the Waldbrand Guild already has the contract to hunt the legendary monster. A deal is proposed that may cost Raiga one of his friends, yet everyone seems to have underestimated the challenge posed by the Kirin…

Raiga’s former mentor, Bexel, was once a great hero, but what happened to him that caused him to fall from grace? With Raiga and his party in trouble, is there a limit to what they can do, and a challenge they can’t handle? Bexel might be able to help them turn the tide, or he might just be their downfall!

When Raiga’s party receives a request from Moga Village to subdue a Lagiacrus, they head out on the quest, but a Rathalos descends upon the same hunting ground. Meanwhile, Keres is in pursuit of the 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?
