It foretells that one day, under the leadership of the Heralder—the only human ever born with an SSS-rank bloodline—humanity will finally reclaim its place atop the food chain.

Consumed by vengeance, Lobo sets out to find this person, willing to risk everything to confront them.

Arcadia's Big Five use their elemental abilities to maintain control over the city, turning it into a dangerous battleground for anyone daring to oppose them.
