The Feudal Lords, using their magical knowledge, ruled Midgard a long time ago. However, one day, five Goddesses came from the sky, defeating the Lords with the power of the Song and bringing peace to Midgard, becoming the Intoners.

Nevertheless, there was one more Goddess, or demon, Zero, the oldest of the Intoners. For an unknown reason, Zero decided to kill her sisters and attacked Cathedral City; a land ruled by Intoner One, with her dragon, Michael.

One and her sisters prepared the city for the attack, and the clash between them took place in front of the city's great cathedral. At least it would, if it were not for the appearance of an unknown man, a Slayer of Demons named Edric.

-Midgard, Cathedral City-

Edric raised his shield, blocking Four's punch, and rolling backward upon seeing something approaching, dodging Zero's sword that approached his head.

Seeing one of her targets nearby, Zero slashed Four in her chest but stopped her attack when Two's great sword nearly decapitated her.

"Son of... I mean... Zero! Please, stop, we are sisters, we shouldn't fight!"

"Seriously? So why don't you stop swerving and let me get this fight over with?" Zero replied, cutting Four's right arm.

Shortly afterward, Zero blocked Two's blow. The Intoners crossed their blades, each trying to overpower the other.

"Hey Zero! Who is the armor person? Is he a friend of yours? Gasp! Or would it be a boyfriend?"

"I have no idea who that bastard is, but he'll be next once I'm done with you!" Zero said, pushing Two back and cutting her right after.

Zero looked up upon seeing a shadow forming over her and saw Four descending with her armored fist raised, hitting Zero in the face and sending her backward.

Zero pierced the ground with her sword to stop her movement, then closed the distance and thrust her weapon forward, aiming at Four's heart. Four, having just landed, had no time to dodge. Luckily, Two stepped in front of her sister, using her large sword as a shield.

Zero placed both her feet on the flat of Two's sword, delivering a powerful double-kick, throwing the Intoner away and hitting Four in the process. Taking the chance, Zero slashed Two and Four repeatedly.

Recovering from the onslaught, Two tried to cut Zero in the stomach, but the Intoner jumped back, unintentionally allowing Four to approach and deliver a flurry of punches. Zero blocked some with her sword, but still suffered wounds across her body.

Taking advantage of an opening in Four's punches, Zero cut Four's unarmored right fist since it had no gauntlet.

"AAAHHH!" Four screamed in pain, backing away while holding her injured wrist.

"Four!" Two yelled, running towards the hurt Intoner.

"That hurt? Sorry, I'll be more careful next time." Zero mocked, reading her sword to finish off Four and Two, but Five and Three came flying, hitting Four and Two respectively, interrupting Zero.

"What?" Zero asked confused. Looking aside, she saw Edric approaching while carrying a great hammer.

"You gotta be kidding me! Where did you get that thing?" Zero yelled.

"I don't have to give you any satisfaction, demon." Edric replied, raising his hammer.

-A few minutes ago-

After rolling backward, dodging Zero's blow, Edric raised his shield again, blocking a spear thrust aimed at his chest.

Edric raised his Holy Sword of Moonlight and swooped it down towards Five. The Intoner jumped away, giving Three room to step forward and try to cut Edric's neck.
