Sakuya erbt von ihrem Vater das mit Hilfe magischer Kräfte geschmiedete Vortex Schwert, das als einzige brauchbare Waffe gegen die Höllenbrut gilt, seinem Träger aber auf Dauer die Lebenskraft entzieht. Um das Menschengeschlecht zu retten, entsendet sie der Lord von Yamamoto, den Anführer der Monster zu töten.
Seit vor kurzem aus Erdspalten ausgespuckte Dämonenscharen das Land in einen Höllenpfuhl verwandelten, zieht die junge Kämpferin Sakuya mit zwei Ninjas los, um der chaosbringenden Brut Einhalt zu gebieten. Naive, effektlastige Fantasy.
