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 shattered by the invasion of the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth and his demihuman army. But despite the combined efforts of Holy Knight Commander Remedios and Chief Priest Kelart, the power gap between them and Jaldabaoth was overwhelming, leaving the Holy Kingdom on the brink of collapse. Seeking a force capable of confronting Jaldabaoth, Remedios, accompanied by her Holy Knights and her follower Neia, set out on a mission to seek aid from another country. This country was the Magic Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown, a nation ruled by undead, hated by the people of the Holy Kingdom.
