Summary
Rin and his exorcist classmates are caught in a secret war against the
forces of darkness.
Raised by Father Fujimoto, a famous exorcist, Rin
Okumura never knew his real father. One day a fateful argument with Father
Fujimoto forces Rin to face a terrible truth—the blood of the demon lord
Satan runs in Rin’s veins! Rin swears to defeat Satan, but doing that
means entering the mysterious True Cross Academy and becoming an exorcist
himself.
As his vision of the past draws to a close, an older Rin bears
witness to the tragic climax of the Blue Night. He watches as Satan’s
cloned body can no longer contain the massive cosmic energies within him. The
Knights of the True Cross are faced with an unprecedented crisis as a wave of
destruction begins to sweep across the world. Although just a newborn, Rin is
hugely powerful and his demon heart scourges the Knights of the True Cross with
its fire. The blue flames continue to spread and no one will be spared their
heat...
