Centuries ago, the fearsome demon king Gyumaoh terrorized the land until the war god Nataku Taishi finally subdued him, sealing him away within Houtou Castle. With the great threat contained, the realm of Togenkyo flourished in an age of tranquility that lasted for generations. But that peace is now crumbling. A shadowy faction obsessed with bringing Gyumaoh back to life has set a catastrophic chain of events in motion, flooding the world with dark energy that pushes youkai beyond the edge of reason. As violent attacks on humans escalate across the land, the goddess Kanzeon Bosatsu takes action—dispatching an unlikely group of four westward to confront the crisis at its source. The party consists of the stoic priest Genjou Sanzou, the wild and powerful Goku Son, the sharp-tongued Gojou Sha, and the composed Hakkai Cho. United by necessity rather than choice, these four very different individuals must journey together into danger.
