Benedetta

===Revenge on the Monsters=== The bio of Benedetta, the 100th hero known as the "Shadow Ranger" is revealed for the first time. Beneath the Rantha Mountains, his “Alecto” symbolizes both honor and vengeance. After returning from the Abyss, our land is plagued by plague and the entire southern part of the Land of Dawn turns into a barren place. Although the high mountains of Rantha block the corruption of the Abyss, Mother Nature in the southern realm continues to wither. This once prosperous land is now a silent place filled with death, and people call it the “Place of Despair.” The only passage connecting the Moniyan Empire is broken, separating trapped refugees and exiled wanderers from the rest of the world. They now live in fear and despair, haunted by monsters, but still struggle to survive.

For these people, the name Benedetta brings hope and a feeling of security. This brave and persistent ranger leads a team and fights in the lands south of the Rantha Mountains, protecting the scattered colony established by the last survivors of Despair Place.

This is the fourth year since Benedetta and her team launched their campaign in the Rantha region. Every time she draws "Alecto", the raging monsters scatter, frightened by this long, sharp sword imbued with unstoppable power. People call him the leader of the Rangers who walks in the shadows, the protector of the place of despair. She has won the admiration and respect of everyone in this desolate desert.

However, the distant Moniyan Empire leaves a deep scar in Benedetta's heart, and the wound may never heal. Alucard is not the only person whose life was changed by the war that took place years ago, Benedetta is also one of the victims. But Benedetta's family is not like Alucard's. His father was not an officer, he was just a common soldier.

Unfortunately, the Second Division was found guilty of "rebellion" after being defeated in battle, and therefore no honor or glory was given to the soldiers who gave their lives for the country. As the child of an officer, Alucard was sent to the Monastery of Light with several other children and grew up with the blessing of the Light. But Benedetta, who did not enjoy such privilege because she was the child of a low-ranking soldier, had to struggle to earn a living without her parents by her side.

Ever since Benedetta was little, she had always wished that she could one day become a Warrior of Light, take back the glory that rightfully belonged to her father, and avenge her father's death by killing those monsters. To this end, she continued to train and treat herself as a warrior, constantly honing her combat skills, and inherited the long sword left by her father, preparing for the battles to come.

However, the passionate Benedetta was rejected when she signed up for the Empire's Army trial because the powerful men who led the Order of Knights were furious because of Alucard's betrayal and ordered that no descendant of a "rebel" could ever join the Empire's Army, so that they would never seek the truth as Alucard did.

Disappointed and enraged by the empire, Benedetta took her long sword and left the Moniyan Empire, heading to the Barren Lands and preparing to wipe out the monsters and take revenge on her own.

Although she was mentally prepared, Benedetta was shocked by the corruption and desolation the first time she saw the Wastelands. But what surprised Benedetta even more was that there were people who lived near the foothills of the Rantha Mountains, in a hostile environment. Life there was hard, but these people were optimistic and hardworking, fighting for everything they needed to survive. And they did: they improved the soil, raised the next generation, and defeated the monsters.

At first, Benedetta wasn't interested in these people at all. She wandered aimlessly in the Drylands and gave her longsword a new name, Alecto. She then unleashed her anger on the monsters and slaughtered them all. But as time passed, Benedetta slowly realized that this land was truly a vast area, and the power of the Abyss and the monsters was more formidable than she had imagined. She could never have saved the Despair Place or changed anything on her own.

One day, Benedetta comes across a squad of rangers who were in the middle of fighting against the monsters. The odds were against them, but they fought bravely together and repelled the monsters that tried to attack the human camp several times.

During the campaign, Benedetta and the rangers established friendship and trust through their joint efforts. And these people who lived in a lost place showed courage and a strong will to survive, which eventually touched Benedetta's soul and made her believe that it was not the weapon in their hands that would one day triumph over the Abyss, but the eternal hope in their hearts.

Subsequently, Benedetta chose to stay and formed a team of rangers, each member of which shared the same vision but had different skills. They helped these people defend their homeland.

One by one, the monsters throughout the southern foothills of the Rantha Mountains were defeated by Benedetta and her comrades. Benedetta always left a mark on the battlefield after slaughtering enemies, reminding the monsters that Benedetta never forgot what they did to her. More and more settlements sprang up around the Rantha Mountains and human civilization was able to flourish thanks to their protection.

They went through hell, they made sacrifices. But nothing could shake their will and stop this squad of rangers from marching in the shadows. Under Benedetta's leadership, they believed that while there was still hope, they would one day see flowers blooming in the Barren Lands.

Meanwhile, Benedetta had another, greater ambition: to eliminate monsters and reclaim her father's glory to prove a simple fact to the foolish rulers of the Moniyan Empire, letting them know that honor was never bestowed by anyone, it was hard earned.

It's not just a battle between her and the Abyss, it's also a war between her and the Empire. ===The demons are approaching===
