中岛阳子是一个普通的高中女生。她常常在夜里做相似的梦，关于一个遥远世界的梦。在梦中，她总是看见一片无边无垠的大海，海水在静谧的夜里泛着幽蓝的光泽，在水中央的石头上蹲着一个长得像人猿的生物。这个生物总是对她邪恶的笑着，仿佛要把她诱惑到黑暗的深渊中。她同时还看见一些奇异的景象：凶禽穿过阴郁的天空，荒凉大地上猛兽残害着生灵，还有一把不知道来历的宝剑在梦中若隐若现。有一次她甚至梦见一个金发男孩对她说：“你的身上有血的味道”。这些神奇而完全不同于她所在的世界的景象，令阳子感到困惑和焦虑。她试图向身边的人讲述她的梦，可是却没有人对她的梦感兴趣……

阳子等人受到妖魔的追击。在这个危急的时刻，阳子绝望地呼唤景麒现身相救，但景麒始终没有出现。押送他们去县城的两个村民已经被妖魔杀死了，此时妖魔正虎视眈眈的望着阳子、杉本和浅野三人，但不知为什么，它们仿佛有所畏惧不敢立刻攻击。在“冗佑”的作用之下，阳子突然挥刀杀死了妖魔的头领，其他的妖魔见头领已死渐渐散去。 与此同时，在雁国的大街上，延麒六太正匆忙地赶去见延王尚隆。这位风流倜傥的王，即位之后就曾因为耽于玩乐、不理朝政，而屡屡受到朝中众大臣的指责。但这些都只不过是尚隆故意制造的假象。其实，他是一位头脑清醒、有勇有谋的明君。六太此时赶来，是要向延王尚隆汇报庆国的情况：自从庆国国王予王驾崩以后，庆国国内起了内乱，妖魔横行，最近却突然有新王即位。事有蹊跷，六太怀疑庆国这个新王是个冒牌货。延王尚隆对此却满不在乎，无奈之中，延麒六太决定亲自去庆国查看一下……
