Synopsis
The gods who survived the "Great War of the Gods" changed their appearance from humans to beasts and became beasts. The beasts set the discipline of the cycle and marked a peaceful time in the land of Christania. Hundreds of years have passed, and the ambitions of the Verdia army, led by King Barbas, have brought the land into a period of chaos. Five knight apprentices, including Rails, who came from the land of Danan to the land of Christania, met Maris, the daughter of a silver wolf, and learned about the chaos of this land. Faced with the fear of death in the fight against Grail, the Marquis of Fang, Rails decides to fight the Verdia army after a conflict. Immediately after that, a goblin with a saber-toothed tiger attacked in front of his fellow mercenary group of the beast people, the beast fang warriors. With Rails hesitating to fight, the warriors of the beasts turn their faces into beasts and defeat their enemies one after another.
