In the northern part of the globe is located Hells Gate, a portal that was previously utilized by the Demon Lord for invading the human realm. Thanks to Shion Bladearts and his companions, including Excalibur, the Gate was sealed off and the demonic threat was eliminated. However, despite the hero's efforts, the seal has begun to weaken, allowing demons to resume their attack on humanity. Touka Scott, a selfish and perverted farmer, digs pitfalls in an attempt to protect his village. Despite this, Shion is still determined to reseal Hells Gate and save mankind. Unfortunately, Shion falls into one of the pits dug by Touka and dies. Necromancer Anri Haynesworth steps in to salvage their quest by transferring Toukas soul into Shions decaying body, allowing him to accompany her on her journey to Hells Gate. Along with childhood friend Yuna Yunis, the three of them embark on a mission that may not be the most suitable for saving the world.
