The inhabitants of this new realm believe Akane is the only one who can stop the demons from conquering their land. However, the demons themselves desire to exploit her power for their own nefarious purposes. Fortunately, Akane is not alone; she is supported by the Hachiyou, eight men each possessing unique abilities and sworn to safeguard the Dragon Priestess.
