Marquis de Monte-Carlo



"Hah... How foolish! I've been alive for 2000 years. I fell into a deep slumber 300 years ago in this castle, but the hunter from back then should be dead now. Now there is nothing left for me to fear! Your blood shall bless my revival!"

- Marquis de Monte-Carlo

Marquis de Monte-Carlo is the main villain and final boss from Rusty.

Story
The Marquis de Monte-Carlo is a vampire lord who ruled over a remote European region, controlling a army of demons to terrorize the land. One day, he was defeated and sealed away by a lone hero, a demon hunter from the Crystal Blood clan, who put him into a eternal slumber. 300 years have passed since the Marquis was sealed away, but his seal started to weaken, which prompted many monsters to reappear and terrorize the villages once again, leaving destruction on their wake. Many young women start disappearing from the villages, apparently kidnapped by the monsters, so the villagers believe the Marquis has once again returned.

Learning of the demonic invasion, a traveling hunter named Rusty arrives at one of the villages, where the mayor tells her a girl named Ryoko was recently kidnapped and taken to the Marquis castle. Rusty begins her journey to defeat the evil plaguing the land, learning from one of the captive girls that the Bloody Mary is behind the kidnappings, intending to use the girls as sacrifice to awaken her master. Rusty eventually reaches the castle, confronting and killing Bloody Mary, after which she finally meets with the recently awakened Marquis himself. He confronts Rusty and, upon recovering his full powers transforms into a large demon, but in the end he is defeated by Rusty for good. After the credits it is revealed that Rusty is a descendant of the hunter who once sealed the Marquis.

Trivia

 * The Marquis is clearly inspired by the Dracula from the Castlevania series. Not only his throne room is reached after climbing a large staircase, his two forms in battle also resemble the Count's, with him teleporting around and shooting fireballs from his cape on his first form and then turning into a giant grotesque demon for his second form.
