Plot summary

Lemnear, a young warrior, arrives in a city ruled by the corrupt slaver Lord Vuan. She seeks revenge on the evil wizard Lord Gardein, Vuan's master, who slaughtered her people when she was a child while searching for the prophesied Champion of Silver. Lemnear confronts Gardein but is knocked out by a magic blast and sent to the city's dungeons, where girls are kept for Vuan's harem. An old mage tells her a prophecy: the Champion of Silver will turn a Champion of Bronze into Gold and destroy the dark lord Varohl, the ultimate mastermind.

To rescue a friend, Lemnear infiltrates the harem but is brainwashed by Vuan. She breaks free using her magic choker, kills Vuan, and learns from Gardein that Varohl challenges her from his Castle of Valkysas. There, she meets Mesh, another survivor of her people, whom Gardein had believed to be the Champion of Silver but who is actually the Champion of Bronze. She kills Gardein, who is revealed to be the enchanted right arm of Varohl.

Varohl, a Champion of Gold raised by dark powers after being cast out as a human hybrid, fights Lemnear and Mesh. They defeat his human and dragon forms, but he becomes a stone giant by possessing the castle. Realizing the prophecy, Lemnear awakens her power through her choker, turns Mesh into a Champion of Gold, and together they destroy Varohl's weak spot, killing him.
