Synopsis:
The Sacred Kingdom of Roble, led by the 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 army of demi-humans. But despite the combined efforts of the Holy Knights Commander, Remedios, and the High Priest, Kelart, the power difference between them and Jaldabaoth was overwhelming, leaving the Sacred Kingdom on the brink of collapse. Seeking a force capable of confronting Jaldabaoth, Remedios, accompanied by her Holy Knights and her follower Neia, embarked on a mission to seek help from another country. This country is the Magic Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown, a nation ruled by undead, hated by the people of the Sacred Kingdom.
