Synopsis
The story is set in an alternate fifteenth century Rome, where witches have declared war against humanity. Nikola Eskalibur (ニコラ・エスカリバ) is a young monk adopted by the Catholic Church, whose parents were murdered by a witch. After studying heretical tomes in the Church's secret archives, Nikola discovers the way to winning the war; he must resurrect twelve ancient witches who were locked away centuries earlier, known as the "First Witches" (最初の魔女). To revive them, however, Nikola must form a marriage contract with each one. Nikola, thus, becomes the key to make the First Witches the Church's greatest weapons and save the world.
