Plot
Just as Jeanne D'Arc is tried for heresy and burned at the stake, she is rescued by the demons Lilith and Lilum and taken to the court of the demon queen Agrat bat Mahlat. 31 other famous women from across history were similarly rescued from the time of their deaths, restored to their physical prime if they were old or ill, and gathered. Agrat calls them Witches and explains that they can all manifest magical abilities by focusing on their greed, desires, and regrets. She commands them to enter a tournament called Walpurgis to take turns fighting to the death in an arena for her amusement and offers to grant a wish to the sole survivor, but warns that if they die, their soul will cease to exist. The audience of the arena is made of both demons and people from their lives, who gamble on the matches' outcomes for the merit to be reborn. Jeanne had blindly followed orders her whole life and never wanted anything before, so she struggles to understand what her desire is.Characters
