The two who met in “Dogmatika” arrive at “Golgonda”

The two, after arriving at the “Great Sand Sea - Gold Golgonda” with the guidance of the machine bird “Mercourier” that they were given by the “Tri-Brigade”, are welcomed as allies by the “Springans”. It was supposed to be a brief rest for the two, but in the “Dogmatika Nation” that they had left behind them, a horrible ritual was being carried out…..

The Demise of the Great Nation Dogmatika

The Day of Calamity

“Maximus” is looking up at the sky in the holy lands of the “Dogmatika Nation”. He is already in the process of carrying out a ritual that can be called a longstanding desire of his. It is a taboo technique passed down since long ago that awakens the “Brand”, which has been dwelling in the citizens boasting the “Stigmata” and allows to direct the power of darkness from the “Hole” that had opened up. Slowly raising both his arms that “Maximus” had crossed, a shockwave was released from the “Hole” that opened in the sky, like a giant maw enveloping everything throughout the nation. After a moment, the citizens, soldiers, and the great nation Dogmatika, had entirely transformed into “Despia”. 

The “Stigmata” that Maximus had given the citizens were closed “Brands” that were to be contained until the Day of Calamity. The “Brand” carved into their bodies, changes into a “Hole”, opening through the ritual.

Dramaturge of Despia   ?   Despian Proskenio   ?   Despian Quaeritis 

Clinging to the implement used in the religious ceremony, were the cursed souls of past saints. Through the ritual, it is turning into an ominous figure.

Through the ritual’s shockwave, the ground that used to be “Dogmatika” is breaking up, and from below an ominous object looking like a giant castle, is floating up. And then it appeared that a beautiful, yet repulsive monster was crawling out of “White Knight of Dogmatika”, who had become the implement used in the religious ceremony. “Maximus”, trembling with joy, also takes in the power of darkness himself and transforms into “Dramaturge of Despia”. Then, at the place where a struggle for life and death between the chivalric order of Dogmatika and them had unfolded, Shuraig and the others’ battlefront was broken down by the “Despians”, who were attacking fiercely, like they were mad.

Branded in Red    ?    Masquerade the Blazing Dragon

There was a boy observing the fury that was unleashed on “Dogmatika” from the sky, just as if he were theatregoing. The boy, who looked like he was enjoying himself for quite a while, changed his form into that of a jester dragon and entered the stage of the tragedy himself.

A “Jester” that can turn into a dragon just like the boy that was saved by “Ecclesia”. His true character is hidden behind his mask. 

The Impact of the Calamity

The Fierce Battle in the Great Sand Sea

Through the ritual of calamity, a “Hole”, giant like never seen before, opens and the energy released from it reaches even the far distanced “Great Sand Sea”. And then, devouring the “Hole” and containing it in its body, the ruler of the “Great Sand Sea”, “Supreme Sovereign Serpent Golgonda” falls in rage through the effect of the energy. Further, either by coincidence or by necessity, the boy, having been exposed to this after-effect, transforms into the red-hot dragon “Albion” and enters a state of rampage that even endangers his allies.

The Reunion Saving Her from Her Predicament

During “Ecclesia”’s predicament, a thunder piercing the heavens, roars and “Golgonda” is being wiped out by a single blow. Appearing in front of the cheering “Springans” were former members of the chivalric order of Dogmatika, “Theo”, “Adin” and “Fleur de Lis”, a former saint. The woman and the others, having sensed the ambition that “Maximus” was keeping secret, sustained serious wounds from the relentless attacks of his followers but found a way to seal their “Stigmata” and escaped.

The Bond Fostered Between the Two

Albaz and the White Saint

Facing “Albion”, who continued to go on a rampage even after “Golgonda” had been wiped out, “Ecclesia” advances, taking one step forward at a time. There was no fear in her heart, only faith in the boy in front of her. “Albaz” regained his senses through a voice calling him by the name given to him by “Ecclesia”. The many memories gained from their long journey had strengthened their bond.

The paths we walk create bonds.

The two that were forced out of “Dogmatika” and have been on a journey together all the way to the “Great Sand Sea”. “Ecclesia” gives the name “Albaz”, meaning “white”, to the boy who had forgotten even his own name.

Regaining his senses through the power of their bond.

Albaz the Shrouded   ?    Ecclesia the Exiled 

“Fleur de Lis”, who appeared during “Ecclesias”’ predicament, tells her that she will return to her motherland “Dogmatika” to stop “Maximus”’ heinous acts. Meanwhile, “Albaz” and “Ecclesia”, having learned that the “Stigmata” are cursed “Brands”, decide to embark on a new journey to seal the “Brands”. They make their way to the sacred mountain where the people who saved “Fleur de Lis” and the others awaited.

The two fly away with new equipment provided by “Kitt”' and the hammer Rocky-chan, which is filled with the feelings of the “Springans”.

The Sanctuary the Two Arrived At

The Great Sacred Summit in the Haze

“Ecclesia”, having left the “Great Sand Sea”, rides on “Albaz”’ back, who has become a dragon, as they follow the directions they were told. However, a haze of mist suddenly covers their path. As they fly on through the haze, unable to see even a single inch ahead, they soon come upon an ethereal mountain range that does not seem to belong to this continent. 

Stretching out before them is the “Sacred Summit”', a sanctuary that only the chosen are allowed to reach.

Encounter with the “Swordsoul”,

Guardians of the Sacred Summit

When they arrived at the “Sacred Summit”, they were met by the “Swordsoul”, the guardians of the sacred summit with mythical beast bodies, carrying their shining swords. Their clan passes on the art of projecting the manifestation of their heart, their “soul”, onto the energy that only exists at the sacred summit called “Icejade”, and molding it into the form of a sword.

With the permission of “Swordsoul Supreme Sovereign - Chengying”, they head for the heart of the sacred summit, where they encounter a breathtakingly beautiful world of ice and water. Mother “Enion Cradle”, the source of the “Icejade” energy of the land is hidden in the depths of the water. The “Great Sacred Summit” is hidden from the outside world by the haze of mist that comes from here.

          Icejade Aegirine   ?   Icejade Kosmochlor  Icejade Cenote Enion Cradle

The “Enion Cradle” created “Kosmochlor” as a small manifestation of itself, and the “Icejade” spirits again were created by “Kosmochlor”. Furthermore, the “Swordsoul” were given the power of “Icejade” by “Kosmochlor” and use it as a sword to protect the sacred summit. In this way, the “Enion Cradle” has been protected from the outside world for a long time. 

The “Icejade” and “Swordsoul”, who had detected the forces threatening the sacred summit through their distant vision, welcomed “Ecclesia” and the others, who were beings from the outside world, as the key to countering the threat. Through the “Icejade”’s divine protection, “Ecclesia” and the others are temporarily spared of their “Stigmata” turning into “Brands”. 

However, as if to make even this seem ridiculous, the “Despia” begin to act..

The Malice Attacking

Against the duty of the guardians of the sacred summit, “Longyuan” harbors dark ambitions for hegemony through death and power. He has been hiding his own “Soul” by splitting his black sword, which is a reflection of his own heart, into two and pretending that one of them is the sword of his disciple “Mo Ye”, who has a peculiar background. 

Swordsoul of Mo Ye

“Mo Ye”, who did not know that her own sword actually belonged to "Long Yuan", has been exerting herself to the brink of death.

The Chance Encounter with the Apostle 

“Dramaturge”, who has surpassed even the power of the “Enion Cradle” through the awakening of the “Brand”, discovers the hidden sacred summit and sends an army of “Despia”. At the same time, “Longyuan”, who took his sword from “Mo Ye”, attacked the “Enion Cradle”. He combines his two swords and reveals his true form, “Qixing Longuyan”, aiming for the life of the “Kosmochlor”. “Chengying” rushed to the scene and fought a fierce battle against “Qixing Longuyan” together with “Kingfisher”, a guardian beast created by “Kosmochlor”.

Swordsoul Catastrophe - Qixing Longyuan   ?    Icejade Creation Kingfisher

The sacred summit is in turmoil due to “Longyuan”’s rebellion and the attack of the “Despia”. Taking advantage of the turmoil, a boy named “Aluber” appears before “Albaz” and “Ecclesia”, who is so similar to “Albaz” that even with a mask on, it is still recognizable. “Ecclesia” senses that something is not right, but in order to save the “Icejade” to whom she owes a debt of gratitude, together with the “Swordsoul” she scrambles to stop the “Despia” from committing their evil acts.

Branded Disciple

What is the intention of “Aluber”', who suddenly appeared in front of the two, spreading his brilliantly red wings? 

“Aluber”, who controls the power of the “Hole” as if it were his own limbs, restrains “Albaz”, stealing his power of turning into a dragon and transforms into “Lubellion”, a dragon that wields the fire of a divine age. He then burns down “Chengying” and “Kosmochlor”, who were confronting “Qixing Longyuan”, with a disastrous flame attack.

Branded Lost   ?    Lubellion the Searing Dragon

“Albaz”, has lost the power of turning into a dragon but still refuses to give up. Sensing this, “Kosmochlor” and “Chengying” unleash their last bit of strength and “Albaz” awakens to the power of the “Swordsoul”. “Albaz” transformed into “Mirrorjade”, a sword dragon clad in ice and flame, and repelled “Qixing Longyuan” with countless ice swords.

Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon

Icejade Curse

“Kosmochlor”, who had used up all her strength in the repeated fierce battles and for the awakening of “Mirrorjade”, collapsed in front of “Aegirine”.

Mirrorjade and Lubellion unleash rivaling attacks. Their clash creates a tremendous force field, and the two dragons start to combine as they fight. Then, a mass of energy almost like the sun emerged from the bottom of the “Enion Cradle” to the far sky above the sacred summit, and a new dragon appeared from within..

Confronting the Source

Condemnation of the Branded 

At the same time that “Albaz” and “Ecclesia” were involved in the mayhem at the sacred summit, “Fleur de Lis” and the others arrived at the place where “Dogmatika” used to be. Appalled by the changed appearance of the people they were supposed to protect, the group, driven by anger and a sense of duty, set foot in a place where the influence of the “Hole” was even stronger. Then “Fleur de Lis' confronts the source of it all, “Dramaturge”. “Fleur de Lis” managed to get close to the former supreme commander, who was smiling madly, and seemed to have struck him with a full-bodied blow with the power of “Swordsoul”...

Dogmatikamacabre   ?    Branded Retribution 

The saint sinking into despair…

The foolish performers…

Through the power of the ritual brought by the boy that descended, the first saint “Quem” received a temporary body. Since the founding of “Dogmatika”, the “Brands” of six hundred and sixty-three saints, colored with despair, have been engulfed by the implement used in the religious ceremony. Will the deep affection fostered between the remaining two also turn into sweet nourishment? It is all just a tragicomedy on the stage of the palm of one’s hand, and it is only the beginning of the evil drama that is about to begin. The story of a boy and a girl at the mercy of their inevitable destiny is about to take a sharp turn….

Gung Ho Springans! ~The Land of Iron~ 

The Struggles of the “Springans”

The “Springans”, still worried about “Albaz” and “Ecclesia” after their departure. “When our cute little brother and sister are in trouble, there's no way we wouldn’t get down to business!”

The energy projectiles fired from the weapons of the 'Tri-Brigade' have the power to deter the miracles used by the chivalric order of Dogmatika. The "Springans" embark on a journey to trace the origin of this power.

Seeking the power to stop the miracles of the chivalric order of Dogmatika, they set off for the reproachful yet nostalgic land of iron. “Let's go and receive the shocking force of the power of the “Hole” used by “Shuraig” and the others from the leader of the land of iron, who's kinda an ass!” the party exclaimed enthusiastically…

The group arrived at the “Colosseum Saucer”, which is powered by volcanic energy. As the name implies, the perfectly round looking bastard of a leader is still in full fighting mode on top of the mountain. “The only way to challenge him is to beat up all the lumps of iron who are all brawn and no brains. Please help us, our captain “Sargas”!”.
