A retired warrior visits his former lord and learns indestructible swords are forged from unknown metal. He and a swordsman investigate, meeting a young beekeeper girl who sees three other‑dimensional women hunting a lost alien weapon; one, dying, enlists her aid. They discover an old enemy made the swords from the weapon’s shell, and when the alien beast awakens, a battle for control erupts.
