STORY AND ILLUSTRATIONS NUMBER 07
Vanquish Soul
The battle between the great dragon and the god of battle had an impact on the world that reached even into the future, and the energy they left behind fascinated fighters from across the world who have gathered to become the strongest. Let us introduce you to some of the fighters fighting around the “Vanquish Soul”.

The Fighters Drawn To One Another

Long ago, there was a battle between a great dragon and the god of battle. After a fierce battle so intense it shattered the earth and split the heavens, the soul of the god of battle was crushed by the dragon’s blow, and the energy of his soul scattered around the world in several clusters.
This energy has the power to draw them towards each other, or rather, to fate them to fight, causing new conflicts to begin. And now, there are those who seek that power, those who ardently believe in it, those who depend on it, and those who are wary of it.
The endless battle sparked by those intertwined by the “Vanquish Soul” is about to begin!
