Plot
"Where there is light, shadows lurk and fear reigns. Yet, by the blade of knights, mankind was given hope."

- Narrator

Eyrith was a Horror that had been sealed by Makai Priests of the past into a stone slab by using nine Horrors as foundation. In the present day, this seal has been secretly undone by Eiji Busujima, a Shadow Knight who is willing to risk everything to bring back his dead lover, Akari.

However, this also set loose the sealed Horrors to prey on innocents. Kouga Saezima's son, Raiga, becomes the new Golden Knight and is tasked by the Senate to deal with Eyrith. Raiga is assigned to find the Slab Horror that contains the seed of Eyrith before she's revived; the Senate sends Madogu (magical tool), Mayuri, a young woman with the power to seal Horrors, a vital ability to seal the nine Horrors after being defeated by a Makai Knight.

To further assist them, the Senate also assigns the Shadow Knight, Crow (Giru's disciple), to assist Raiga and Mayuri in their mission, to prevent Eyrith from blooming and bringing Messiah back into the realm of the living. They also gained an unusual friendship with Darkness Hunter, Biku, an internal affairs priest investigating recent events as well. It was only later that the group discovered Eiji was behind releasing Eyrith that they realized what was happening.
