The anime takes place in a world where the Demon Lord's army is locked in a never-ending battle against humanity. The plot centers around Ike, a powerful magician and the leader of the Immortal Brigade, which is part of the Seventh Corps of the Demon Lord's army.

Ike had the reputation of being the strongest magician of the Demon Lord's army, and for good reason, seeing as to how he was capable of pushing back the armies of humanity and capturing fortresses all by himself. He was even able to singlehandedly take an impregnable trading city in just one week.

As the grandson of the great magician Ronberg, Ike is highly respected by many demons. That said, neither his loyal soldiers nor the Demon Lord himself are aware of Ike's darkest secret—that he is actually a human in disguise.

Fearing that the discovery of his true identity could lead to fatal consequences for him, Ike tries to use modern knowledge to guard his secret. The story focuses on whether or not Ike would be able to keep his secret safe and if he could bring peaceful coexistence to demons and humans.
