※Manga Adaptation Confirmed!

Once, humanity, having lost most of their habitable lands in a war against demons led by four Demon Lords, divided the remaining territory into seven parts and protected each land with the seven holy swords forged by the Goddess who created humanity, designating them as 'Guardian Holy Swords'.

Countless 'Imitation Holy Swords' were created, mimicking the seven holy swords left by the Goddess. Wielding these, humanity continued to live, battling against the ever-encroaching demons.

Swordsmen chosen by an Imitation Holy Sword are called 'Holy Swordsmen,' and they learn martial arts and swordsmanship at 'Holy Sword Legendia Academy,' built in the largest of the seven nations, the 'Kingdom of Trabia'.

Edward Tirayul, a legendary Holy Swordsman once known as the 'Holy Sword King'. A boy named Roy, who inherits Tirayul's blood... was a 'failure,' completely devoid of talent in swordsmanship, unable even to perform a proper practice swing.

However, Roy never gave up, continuing to wield his sword. For his childhood friend, Eleanor, with whom he swore to become a Holy Swordsman. But—Roy remained a failure. He kept losing even to Eleanor, who began learning swordsmanship later than him, and was constantly called a 'good-for-nothing' by his father.

Still unable to abandon his dream of becoming a Holy Swordsman... he aspired to the 'Holy Sword Selection Ceremony,' held once a year.

There, he hoped to obtain an Imitation Holy Sword suited to him. He believed that if he could just get a holy sword, he could become a Holy Swordsman.

However, at the 'Holy Sword Selection Ceremony' he entered with that hope... what Roy obtained was a crude wooden sword.

It was merely a wooden sword, known as the Non-Lethal Holy Sword.

In contrast, his childhood friend Eleanor was chosen by... one of the seven holy swords that had long lacked a suitable wielder: 'Flaming Holy Sword Phoenicia'.

Roy was on the verge of giving up his dream of becoming a Holy Swordsman.

Then, one such day.

“Perhaps I’ll go hunting…”

Roy's 'hunting'—both a means of survival and a hobby.

It was the kind of hunting where one shoots game with a bow... but what Roy displayed was divine-level 'archery skills,' accurately hitting a vital spot on prey from several kilometers away.

In a world where holy swords reigned supreme, Roy was a boy who wielded a bow with god-like skill.

He couldn't become a Holy Swordsman. But... he could become something more.

“You are the only one.”

“What?”

Acknowledging such a Roy, the crude wooden sword, known as the 'Non-Lethal Holy Sword,' unleashed its true power. It was 'the Fifth Demon Lord,' feared by the four Demon Lords who almost annihilated humanity.

This is the story of a boy who yearned to be a Holy Swordsman but was loved by the bow and arrow, and the strongest, most evil Demon Lord, sealed away by the four Demon Lords, as they save the world.
