When last we left our reluctant heroes, Lina and Gourry found that they are in possession of the most powerful magic amplifier in the world - the Orihalcon. Now, the guys who have been trying to kill them are on their side and join the fight against the rebirth of Shabranigdo, Dark Lord of the Monster Race.

While trying to figure out what to do, Lina and her new companions are summoned to Rezo's tower by an offer they can't refuse. There, they discover why Rezo has been literally tearing up half the countryside looking for them. Now only do they have the sole object that is needed to resurrect Shabranigdo, but now, they also have front-row seats to the event that may bring about their own death!

He's big. He's mean. He has the powers of a god. And it'll take more than a fireball or even Lina's powerful Dragon Slave spell to save the world from him. Our heroes might be valiant, but are they good enough to defeat Shabranigdo? Be sure not to miss this thrill-a-minute volume of The Slayers!
