Summary

The kingdom of Nohmur has been a peaceful land for humans since the exorcist Eron Shirano repelled the demons and sealed the way to the underworld of Ruhmon. Generations later, sisters Lys and Rin are the heirs of the illustrious Shirano family, the most powerful exorcist clan charged with watching over the barrier and maintaining balance between the two worlds with the aid of Hikaten, the Sword of a Hundred Souls. Until one day, for unknown reasons, demons begin slipping through once more... and suddenly, Lys vanishes without a trace, leaving the sacred sword behind for her little sister to take up. As the underworld threat grows, Rin sets out alongside her companion, the mysterious Aghyr, to find her missing sister and figure out how to fortify the weakening barrier between her world and that of the monstrous creatures that threaten her kingdom once againAfter their search for the missing Great Priestess Lys leads Rin and Aghyr into trouble and an unexpected battle at the Water Sanctuary, they take some time to regroup among their friends of the Kaishin Clan. There, they meet up with the Fire Oracles Kara and Koru, who have prophesied the arrival of the Scarlet Soul<U+2014> none other than Rin Shirano herself. With the Fire Oracles' help, Rin reclaims her sister's sword Hitaken, which has chosen her as its wielder. Whether she feels ready to take on the responsibility or not, she is the only one who can carry the ancient exorcist blade now. With demon activity increasing throughout the land, it's more important than ever that the Great Priestess is found as quickly as possible... even as forces gather that will stop at nothing to make sure Rin can never see her sister again!
