In ancient times, the master mage Enno defeated the demon goddess Karuma by summoning a protector demon named Zenki, whom he subsequently sealed within a temple pillar. Over one thousand years later, Chiaki accidentally unleashes her family powers and summons Zenki once again after evil forces emerge in her vicinity.
