They are called the “Jaegers”, who came to hunt vampires.

Amongst them, there stood a young man with striking serenity and unusual aura.

His name is Yuliy, a werewolf whose home village was destroyed by vampires.

Yuliy and the Jaegers engage in deadly battle over a mysterious holy arc only known as “The Arc of Sirius”.

What truth awaits them at the end…?

With eternal affinity and spiral of conspiracy entwine, the highly anticipated action-thriller anime begins!
