Synopsis:
The Holy Kingdom of Roble, led by Holy Queen Calca, enjoyed an era of peace, protected by its immense walls. However, this tranquility was abruptly destroyed by the invasion of Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth and his army of demi-humans. But despite the combined efforts of the Holy Knight Commander Remedios and the Chief Priest Kelart, the difference in power between them and Jaldabaoth was overwhelming, leaving the Holy Kingdom on the brink of collapse. In search of a force capable of confronting Jaldabaoth, Remedios, accompanied by her Holy Knights and her follower Neia, set out on a mission to ask for help from another country. This country is the Magical Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown, a nation ruled by the undead, hated by the people of the Holy Kingdom.
