The official synopsis states that the series follows legendary warriors Ax Battler, Tyris Flare, and Gilius Thunderhead as they once again unite to rescue Yuria from the clutches of the persistent evil giant Death Adder. Their adventure becomes further complicated by the addition of Hampton Squib, an inexperienced and woefully unprepared adventurer who fantasizes about becoming a hero, a dream far beyond his capabilities. Despite their individual flaws, they are forced to cooperate and must find a way to permanently defeat Death Adder.
