It’s understandable that mere adventurers and mercenaries would be swept up in the ‘Artifact Rush,’ chasing a chance at a fortune. But their opponent was none other than the second son of the Lancaster Grand Duke House, one of the empire’s three great duke houses!

But the shockwaves from Michael Lancaster’s appearance did not stop within the Demon King’s Domain.
The Duke of Lancaster, the most powerful noble house in the realm, and among them, Mikhail, the heir apparent, personally journeyed beyond the northern frontier to the Demon King’s Domain.

Before long, the winds brought by the Northern Frontier era and the artifact rush were no mere ‘fever’. They were a veritable gale.
