Centuries ago a powerful noble house dominated the Imperial Court, wielding a unique force known as “Kidou.” Though the ability gave them great influence, it also bred deep resentment, and the family became despised. The patriarch was eventually lured into a trap that led to his death, plunging the clan into ruin. In the present day the remaining descendants, now calling themselves “Kidousyuu,” conspire to bring their slain ancestor back to life. Their dark ritual awakens a ferocious evil spell that threatens to unleash chaos once more.
