Dirk Schneider, the great wizard of old, who once tried to rule the world by pillaging it. Fifteen years after he was sealed away, the world is threatened by a rebel army of darkness that plans to resurrect Anthrasax, the God of Destruction, and the invasion of the Kingdom of Meta-Rikana is imminent.
In the midst of this, the seal of Dark Schneider is broken by the magic of Tia Noth Yoko, the daughter of the High Priestess.
Dark Schneider, who was able to defeat his enemies one after another with his overwhelming magical power, ended up in a fierce battle with Abigail, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark Rebellion, and the kingdom of Meta-Rikana collapsed. In a huge explosion, everyone disappeared into the light, and the course of events was lost.
Two years later...
Kalu, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, reigned as the "High King of Ice" with his overwhelming power, and led two hundred and two demon warlords to form a huge army, searching for his sister Sheila, who holds the final key to the revival of the God of Destruction. Against this, the remnants of the A-Ian Maide Kingdom organized a rebel army centered on samurai. The Samurai army clashed with the Warlord in various places. Among the Samurai Army, there was Tia Noth Yoko, who had survived the war two years earlier...
