zetsubou shita!

The curtain rises in a world completely different from the Saddrac world, Llion Cardzi, and Celestar. There existed a land called “The WilderLance” (Lance of Wilderness) in an era of rivalry among various forces building their countries.

In one part of the land was the Dragon Village. It was said to hold the power of the Dragon God, which was said to have the magical power and be able to grant further power by embedding a crystal of magical power called “Gund Gem” into armor. Because of this, it was targeted!

Knight Gundam Lfrith of the Gundam Clan was the defender of the Dragon Village. He has a Gund Gem in his armor to improve his basic physical abilities. He was also a kind-hearted person and well-liked by the people of the village.

However, a powerful group of nations declared the Dragon Village to be a den of evil and attempted to bring it into serious danger!

In the WilderLance, the rival clans of the MS and Human Clans merged to form the Benerit Clan. They claimed that the Gund Gem, which held the power of the Dragon God, was overly dangerous and dispatched a large army of extermination squads to the Dragon Village.

The adults of the village decided that even someone as strong as Knight Gundam Lfrith would be overwhelmed by their numbers and decided to act as bait, leaving the rebuilding of the dragon village to their children in the future.

Warrior Nadim was a first-rate Gund Gem craftsman who incorporated the Gund Gem into Lfrith's armor. He and Lfrith were good friends and decided to act as decoys together.

Then there was Summoner Elnora, Nadim's wife, who led the escape from the village with her own children and the children of the village. She was an excellent summoner, but during the escape, she injured her face. And later…

With the remaining forces as decoys, the adults were prepared to hold off the Benerit Clan's strike force no matter how wounded their bodies would become.

Elder Cardo, who was the leader of the Dragon Village, also acted as bait for the Benerit Clan to ensure that the children of the village escaped.

With their morale boosted by Elder Cardo's leadership, Knight Gundam Lfrith and the adults of the village bravely confronted the Benerit Clan.

Like his father Lfrith, Swordsman Gundam Lfrith Junior wore armor that incorporated a Gund Gem. Although still a swordsman, he fought bravely for the future of the Dragon Village, but he is lost in the battle.

The Benerit Clan struggled against the defenders (decoys) in the Dragon Village thanks to Elder Cardo's commands, but a cool-headed knight is after Lfrith!

The morale of the garrison of the Dragon Village, which were fighting alongside Knight Gundam Lfrith as a decoy, was high, and Soldier Heingra, a member of the Benerit Clan's extermination squad, was also struggling.

In this situation, Knight Beguir-Beu, a direct subordinate of Chief Delling, the head of the Benerit Clan and commander of the extermination unit, decided that the garrison would collapse if Knight Gundam Lfrith was defeated!

For some reason, he had been targeting Knight Gundam Lfrith, who was boosted by the Gund Gem, and was such a powerful foe that there are whispers that he was equally capable. Although he had been quietly watching, he appeared on the front line as a result of the extermination team's hard fight.

Knight Beguir-Beu, who has a habit of lowering the visor of his helmet and showing his full strength when he perceived a strong enemy, judged Knight Gundam Lfrith to be a strong enemy and challenges him to a fight!

Knight Beguir-Beu was convinced that if he could defeat Lfrith, he could easily destroy the garrison. However, Beguir-Beu underestimated his strength, and a fierce battle ensued between the two.

As a result, Knight Beguir-Beu was defeated and felled, but Lfrith was also defeated, and with the loss of Lfrith, all the adults in the village garrison were wiped out. The village was burned to the ground by the Benerit Clan.

However, the decoys were successful, and a few adults and many children escaped and built a new village in a different forest, where the story begins several years later.

-

Several years passed. The Benerit Nation, a huge city-state, expanded its power in the WilderLance. Even now, the Benerit Clan continued to develop and expand, with each family line rising to prominence and competing with the others.

On the other hand, the few adults and many children who had escaped from the Dragon Village, which was thought to have been destroyed, joined forces to develop a new Dragon Village and lived peacefully.

The village's young priestess, Priestess Miorine, was the “link between the dragon god and people". Despite her young age, she had the power to repel malevolent magic with her blessings, and a winning personality.

Surprisingly, she was also in charge of food production in the village, and grew beautiful tomatoes from the seedlings she brought back from the village that was destroyed.

However, her peaceful life was about to be destroyed by a scouting party from the Benerit Clan, who wanted to exterminate the survivors of the dragon village. At that moment, a vagabond with mysterious powers saved her!

Miorine's rescuer was Magic Knight Gundam Aerial, a vagabond and wielder of the “Magic Sword Escutcheon” who had been traveling throughout WilderLance!

This wandering knight had acquired extraordinary strength through training during their travels, and by making a contract with a spirit, the “Gund Glyph” emblems on their armor appear and the Magic Sword Gunbit Rondo (Gambit Rondo?) that holds the power of the Gund Gem is unleashed.

This strength was achieved without the Gund Gem. They were a mysterious wanderer who appeared to look somewhat similar to the late Knight Gundam Lfrith due to also being a member of the Gundam Clan. They seemed to be a good person who vowed to save the weak from selfish violence.

Thanks to Aerial's efforts, the Benerit Clan's scouting party was defeated and Priestess Miorine was safe. However, Aerial noticed that a small dragon of the Dragon God was hiding in Miorine's bosom.

It was at that point that a mysterious beast girl who was assigned to guard Miorine by “a certain someone” showed up.

Mage Suletta was a beastman skilled in magic who had not been living in the village since she escaped from the dragon village, but had been living in the surrounding forest for a long time. She was quite capable as a mage.

Suletta was entrusted by “a certain someone” to escort the priestess Miorine, and she rushed to join Aerial.

Perhaps because of her characteristics as a beastman, she is good at conversing with spirits, and as a mage, she is highly skilled in sensing magic and magic investigation, and she quickly became friends with Aerial.

In return for their help, Miorine decided to guide them to the forest village where they lived. Upon arriving, she introduces her hardy companions who live in the forest, a group of friends that now included Magic Knight Gundam Aerial and the Mage Suletta.

Hunter Chuchu boasted of her strength and was close to Miorine's age. She was a girl who remembered the despair she felt during her escape from the dragon village and has therefore chosen to become a hunter herself.

She usually hunted her prey and brought back the materials she obtained from the forest monsters she had killed to the blacksmith to have her own equipment made. She seemed to have developed a surprising fondness for Aerial.

Hunter Kenanji, also a hunter, was a former member of the extermination team of the Benerit Clan who was now part of the dragon village. Although he was a former member of the Benerit Clan, he was one of the few adults in the forest who is well-liked.

He was a good person who was welcomed as a member of the village after he abandoned his mission to eradicate the dragon village and helped the children escape, rebelling against the cruelty and pressure of the Benerit Clan. He has excellent hunter skills.

Everyone in this forest seemed to be friendly to Aerial. This is because they felt an aspect of the now deceased former hero Knight Gundam Lfrith within him.

Blacksmith Nika dealt with blacksmithing in the village. Because of her expertise in blacksmithing, she took on the creation and repair of tools for the hunters, as well as the creation of daily necessities. She also supported Chuchu and the other hunters.

Then there was Shopkeeper Martin, the leader of the village children. He is the owner of a blacksmith store and a diner. He was timid, but had a strong sense of responsibility as an elder and looked up to Kenanji, who was one of the few adults in the village.

Martin and Kenanji sometimes travelled to sell the village's products to the city and stock up on daily necessities. Nika sometimes accompanied them on these trips, but she was always wary of the Benerit Clan.

And today was the day of the return of a brave MS warrior, one of the few adults in the village.

It was Warrior Demi Trainer, who protected the village! He was a warrior who was entrusted by Knight Gundam Lfrith with the children during the attack on the dragon village, and escorted the escapees, despite being a garrison member.

However, he had a strong sense of territoriality from past attacks, and his quarrelsome personality had influenced Chuchu. He too was wary of Aerial at first.

His son, Hunter Demitrainer, is training to become a great hunter with Bound Puppy, a cub monster he picked up in the forest.

The warrior Demi Trainer was skeptical of Aerial, but since they and Lfrith were of the Gundam Clan, he accepted him for now and invited him to help hunt forest monsters.

The group was soon confronted by forest monsters!

The forest demon-type monster Bear Azrawan is a large bear-like monster, and is thought to be an evolved form of the monsters that also exist in the Saddrac World.

Next is the humanoid monster Orc Clibarri. It seems to be an evolved form of the humanoid monster in Saddrac, and is a more formidable monster.

Then there is the small monster Goblin Kapell-Kuu. This monster also seems to be an evolved form of the same monster in the Saddrac World. The existence of these monsters seems to be deeply related to the still-undisclosed relationship with the Saddrac World.

While the group was hunting monsters, the survivors of the earlier scouting party of the Benerit Clan made the main clan aware of the existence of a village in the forest!

For some reason, the existence of the survivors from the destroyed Village of the Dragon God, made Chief Delling feel threatened, and he ordered their extermination by the three families that were currently competing for the Benerit Clan.

The next head of one of the three families, the Jeturk family, Noble Knight Guel, led his own forces to outflank the other two families.

Although his youth made him a bit aggressive, rude, and rough, he also had the integrity to respect those who show their strength. Little did he know that this battle would change his destiny forever….

One of the other families, the Grassleys, who are fearless in their actions, was also on the move.

Shaddiq, the noble knight of the Grassley family, had high political power among the Benerit Clan. He was aiming for success while maintaining his composure, trying to counter the Jeturk family, which fought aggressively, with intelligence.

It was said that Shaddiq was a crafty noble knight, and that he had been playing some tricks within the city to gain means outside of combat.

But in this battle, Shaddiq did not expect his pride to be hurt by Aerial.

And the last of the three families was full of mysteries...

While the three families of the Benerit clan were plotting to exterminate the people of the forest, where the survivors of the Dragon Village live, the mysterious “Peil Family” had also begun to take action.

The next head of the Peil family, Noble Knight Elan, was a Noble Knight with magical powers unique to the Peil family. Unlike Guel and Shaddiq, he was aiming for the complete know-how of the Gund Gems possessed by the people of the forest rather than taking credit for their extermination.

In fact, the joint heads of the Peil family, a group of Sorcerers, had Gund Gems they had recovered in secret when they destroyed the Dragon Village, and had been conducting their own research in secret. They gave the imperfect results to “a certain Gundam Clan noble knight”.

In the midst of the dark activities of the Peil family, Elan, who was researching magic, became interested in Mage Suletta, whom he would meet in this battle.

The three families of the Benerit Clan would lead their respective forces into the forest. But now the people have a well-minded wanderer Magic Knight Gundam Aerial as their companion!

At last, the three major forces led by the three families of the Benerit Clan invaded the forest to destroy the survivors of the Dragon Village. It was the Jeturk family that first took the initiative!

The captain of the Jeturk army, Noble Knight Dilanza, was a knight with high combat power and a deep knowledge of not only strength but also tactics. He lightly regarded Aerial as a “bumpkin”….

Contrary to his captain, Warrior Dilanza was belligerent and prefers to act alone. He was a conspicuous figure in the Jeturk family. Soldier Demi Garrison, a common soldier of the Benerit Clan, was also a member of the Jeturk family and is aggressive in numbers. The Jeturk family's forces attack in numbers!

However, they underestimated the Magic Knight Gundam Aerial's magic sword and suffered a painful defeat.

The next army was that of the Grassley Family.

The commander of the army of the Grassley family was Noble Knight Michaelis. He is a schemer, and under the direction of Shaddiq, was secretly planning to use the power of Miorine's power as the priestess of the dragon god to his advantage.

Then there was Fencer Heindree, Michaelis's subordinate and a faithful swordsman. He had not been told of the priestess's power in the Dragon Village, and faithfully followed his instructions to subdue her.

The noble knight Michaelis was also quite a skilled swordsman, but he was no match for Aerial's magic sword and was narrowly defeated.

Two of the three families were defeated by Aerial one after another, but the Peil family was different. The leader of their army was also a member of the Gundam Clan, just like Aerial!

Mage Zowort, the mage of the Peil family, was led by the jet-black knight Noble Knight Pharact, who boasts of abilities that rival those of the magic knight!

A knight skilled in magical combat and armed with magical versatility, he stands as Aerial's most difficult enemy. This was because the Peil family had recovered the Gund Gem, a secret that was left behind at the time of the fall of the Dragon's Village, and had implanted it in Pharact.

In the fierce battle between Aerial and Pharact with magic, Aerial won by a narrow margin.

However, the Gund Gem inside the defeated Pharact began to run amok!

Pharact transformed into the dragon-shaped monster Pharact Dragon when the Gund Gem embedded in him went out of control! He has lost his sense of self due to the outburst of magical power.

The mysterious Gund Gem, which had been secretly recovered by the Peil family at the time of the collapse of the Dragon Village and studied independently, went out of control due to the “residual thoughts of anger” and “malice” within Pharact. He became a powerful enemy whose entire body has been transformed into a dragon of destruction.

Those who obtained powerful magical power from the Gund Gem had “Gund-Graphs” appear on their bodies, appearing like cracks all over their bodies.

It was then that a spirit summoned by “a certain person” saved Aerial, who was struggling against the overwhelming power of Pharact Dragon! This person summoned “Spirit Iceburn,” a spirit of water and ice, and “Spirit Geist,” a spirit of fire!

Aerial, using these high-level spirits and empowered by their opposite elements, finally defeated Pharact Dragon. The morale of the three families' troops was lowered, and the three families were defeated.

But who was the “someone” who summoned the spirits?

It was Summoner Prospera, who protected the self-proclaimed dragon god priestess. She lent her power to Magic Knight Gundam Aerial. It was under her direction that Mage Suletta was dispatched.

Prospera was an excellent summoner, and is able to summon more powerful spirits by offering her life force as well as her magical power.

Prospera seemed to be a survivor of the former Dragon Village, but she wore a mask because her face was injured during the escape. Currently, she boasted the greatest amount of magic in the current village due to the large number of inexperienced children.

Prospera was calm, but she seemed to hate the Benerit Clan intensely. Aerial was wary of her, even though she was a mystery, and they owed her a debt of gratitude.

Meanwhile, the three families have suffered a painful defeat at the hands of Aerial and the rest of the forest village, but now that the Benerit Clan's head, Chief Delling, has learned of the existence of the village, he has given the three families new instructions!

Summoner Prospera had saved Magic Knight Aerial by summoning spirits against the Pharact Dragon. However, summoning multiple spirits was an extremely difficult task.

Prospera's summoning was assisted by Spirit Erichts, which were mysterious child-like spirits. These spirits followed Prospera, but they had their own unique personalities and a childlike innocence.

Although the Spirit Erichts were mysterious spirits, Prospera was able to summon more than one through their power. But her goals were still unknown at this time. Aerial was also wary of her.

Meanwhile, the Peil family's secret independent research on the Gund Gem had been revealed, and the other families have begun to target the “Gund Gem” independently, while the Peil family has been standing on its own shoulders within the Benerit Clan. Finally, they had discovered the forest village where the survivors of the Dragon Village went to.

At that time, two knights with shining gems on their foreheads were about to appear. They were Magic Knights from the Gundam Clan just like Aerial!
