Back to Wiki Read Manga Characters Chapter Guide

  1. Ancient / Mythic History

    • Creation-of-mankind mystery tied to an ancient tablet and the Grand Compendium / odd-looking book.

    • Tablet later studied by Nolan Bates and Dr. Nadir is described as over 15,000 years old, laser-etched with 100% precision.

    • War of the Flaming Crowns occurs in ancient history; afterward, many continue practicing Imperium and some secret societies await Lucifer’s return.

    • Lucifer is imprisoned by Ethereal Chains on the 9th floor of Hell (Treachery); archangels believed this imprisonment eternal.

    • Rasiel is not an archangel; Rasiel is not involved in Lucifer’s imprisonment; Rasiel acts as a soldier for Lucifer.

    • Knights Templar and Holy Knights diverge as traditions:

      • Knights Templar begin as purely holy, become fascinated by black magic, and are destroyed by imbalance.
      • Holy Knights train through spiritual science to become incorruptible pillars of light.

    • Secret societies continue Imperium traditions after the War of the Flaming Crowns.

    • Pyramid / ancient Imperium age is referenced in Holy Knights teaching context.

    • A major demon presence is later framed as returning after “four thousand years” (Chapter 2 invasion framing).

  2. 1945

    • Nolan Bates claims that after atomic bombs dropped in 1945, humanity diverged from God, revered technology, and forgot destiny.

  3. Year 2022

    • 2022 is a Doomsday / invasion flashback shown in Chapter 1.

    • This is the origin story for Soren and Rush.

    • Soren and Rush are 18 years old during the 2022 invasion flashback.

  4. Year 2029

    • 2029 is the present day of the main Demon Rush story.

    • Star City school-life / civilian contrast with Soren, Rush, and Amilia unfolds in this present-day frame.

    • Demonic invasions worsen.

    • Public order collapses.

    • Military/government response is confused.

    • City-scale angel/demon battle and public reveal of angelic intervention follow in the invasion sequence (Chapters 2–4 context).

  5. Year 2039

    • 2039 in Chapter 1 is a flash-forward showing what Demon Rush can become at its peak.

    • Includes Rush’s battle against Adriel and related Adriel/Lucifer-scale stakes within that peak vision.

  6. Current Arc Events

    • Amilia’s apparent death devastates Soren; Soren receives Aethernus and begins training under Az / Holy Knights path.

    • Rush survives demon pursuit, meets Karner, enters Limbo/Hell, learns the nine floors, and begins brutal combat training.

    • Michael, one of the four Great Archangels, is captured and bound in Ethereal Chains; Hell plans to use him as fuel for continual invasions.

    • Rasiel is dead and becomes Algolga; stored Imperium can open an Algolga-scale gate in half the usual time.

    • Karner pursues a Grand Compendium lead and assigns Rush Earth tasks.

    • Government/science subplot: Q extracts demon energy into monster-killing ammunition; Lieutenant Hightower is tested under Alder.

    • Rush’s Black Hand backstory surfaces: father’s desertion/death, Hannah’s Friedrich Ataxia, Rush Imperium limit 12, Baron over 100.

    • Nolan Bates briefs Rush on the ancient tablet and sends him after relics/coordinates (Arizona, Turkey, Antarctica), starting with Sedona.

    • Karner kills Sigrid with Furantur Anima when Black Hand oversteps.

    • Karner sets Trial 2: face an enemy ten times Rush’s strength; Black Hand combined Imperium over 300.

    • Az acquires a Knights Templar blade from Bardo; Soren continues solo training.

    • Soren and Rush reunite and spar (Chapter 15). Time mismatch: Soren experienced months of training; Rush experiences about two days since invasion.

    • Rush reveals Lux Obice and Karner apprenticeship; Soren realizes Rush is not a Holy Knight.

    • After the clash, Rush rejects Soren’s help, warns that Karner would kill Soren, and tells Soren to forget him.
