LatestThe Destroyal finally came to an end. However, the live feed got cut off immediately. It was because of a scheme to invalidate the Destroyal by killing all the Therianthropes and crew. The evil clutches approaches Hitomi and the others whom fought through the games.

Yuuya Nomoto was horrified to discover that the vehicle he was driving was being used to kidnap a high school girl, but he's even more shocked when the girl, Hitomi Uzaki, literally tears her kidnappers to pieces instead! Then she forces Yuuya to drive her to an arena where she bets the value of his organs on herself to win in a death match against a half-lion hybrid! Even more astonishing: Hitomi wins! That's because she's a Therianthrope, a genetically engineered fighter created specifically for the underground death matches known as Killing Bites!
