Beet the Vandel Buster, Vol. 4

Beet is gonna beat the odds, and bust those violent Vandels!

The New Dark Age

It's the Century of Darkness where monsters known as Vandels rule the world, and the Vandel Busters are the only ones who can fight them. When a group of Busters are killed in battle, they pass on their magic Saiga weapons to Beet, making him the strongest Buster ever. But Beet won't just fight the Vandels--he wants to destroy them and finally end the Century of Darkness.

The Black Horizon

Beet and Poala thought Beltorze was bad--that was until they entered the Black Horizon ruled by the Vandel Grineed. When they're not fighting giant spiders and zombie soldiers, they're facing off with Grineed's most powerful servant, Frausky, a kind of living gun.

But it's not all bad news for them. They run into fellow Vandel Buster, Kissu. Good timing. They'll need allies when Grineed's confederates come back for a final attack. But is Kissu really the good friend Beet believes him to be? Or is he a Vandel spy?
