During the war between the Yasudo and Hoyashi clans, external forces unexpectedly interfere. The asura queen Ilit wants to place Yasuo Hoyashi on the Imperial throne, but for some reason the envoy of the Lord Seth Ba-Lef tries to stop her. The Battle of Great Beings takes place above the Hoyashi clan camp, and they, having lost their leader, retreat from the besieged city. Taro Ueda, the bodyguard of the slain Moon God, believes his mission in the lands of Yasudo is complete and is already preparing to go to Aokigahara to search for the remaining pieces of the phylactery of his fallen Lord. But troubling news comes from the capital of the Empire—Heian-kyo—and he is forced to go there.
