Dalton Teban and his team gather once again for the second round of the Guardian Tournament, eager to continue tracking down the criminal responsible for fracturing the seal securing the five worlds. Still operating behind the distraction of the Guardian Tournament, Team Dalton focuses on weeding out the corruption in the Dimension Protection Council. However, even within their own team, there are secrets. As Keito and Hanyi begin to reveal what they already know about their foe, distrust begins to take root in the team of Guardians as the younger members wonder what other secrets their teammates are hiding. But it is not only the older Guardians keeping secrets-Council has been hiding the existence of beings that possess god-like powers and those beings are keen to make themselves known. When their enemy emerges from the shadows to reveal himself as the notoriously powerful demon, Lord Yokouro DeVastes, Dalton follows every lead he can only to discover how long Yokouro has been planning the destruction of Council and the human-inhabited realms. Twisting associations and even more terrifying allies cause Dalton to worry that he and his team are unable to defeat the menacing forces vying to rip apart the five realms. Pulled into a web of unclear intentions and strange tests, Team Dalton stumbles about their mission blindly, desperate to find a way to protect the realms and themselves from a demon intent on destroying humanity.
