"The fourth primogenitor"—that is the world's strongest vampire; one who was supposed to only exist in legends. Accompanied by twelve Kenjuu in spreading catastrophes, this phantom vampire appears in Japan. In order to observe and eliminate the "fourth primogenitor", the governmental organization, Lion King, decides to dispatch an attack mage denoted as a "swords shaman". However, for some reason, the one chosen for the observation was an apprentice "swords shaman" girl, Himeragi Yukina. Wielding the strongest anti-primogenitor spirit spear, Yukina arrives at Demon Sanctuary, "Itogami City". What is the true identity of the "fourth primogenitor", Akatsuki Kojou, who she encounters over there!?
