＜Introduction of the second season of "Requiem from Hell".
Dirk Schneider, the great wizard of old who once planned to rule the world. Fifteen years after he was sealed away, the world is threatened by a rebellious army of darkness that plans to resurrect Anthrasax, the god of destruction, and the kingdom of Meta-Rikana is under threat of invasion.
In the midst of all this, the seal of Dark Schneider is broken by the magic of Tia Noth Yoko, daughter of the High Priestess.
However, after a fierce battle with Abigail, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark Rebellion, the kingdom of Meta-Rikana collapses. In the great explosion, all disappeared into the light and were lost.

Two years later...

One of the Four Heavenly Kings, Cal-Su, reigns as the "High King of Ice" with his overwhelming power, leading the Twelve Demon Warlords to form a large army in search of the princess Sheila, who holds the final key to the resurrection of the God of Destruction. Against this, the remnants of the A-Ian Maide Kingdom organized a rebel army led by samurai. The Samurai army clashed repeatedly with the Warlord of Magic in various places. Among the Samurai Army, there was Tia Noth Yoko, who survived the war two years ago...
