Sinopsis of The Legendary Hero Is Dead!
Far to the north of the world lies the Gate of Hell, a portal once used by the Demon Lord to invade the human realm. Thanks to the legendary hero Shion Bladearts, wielder of Excalibur, and his loyal band of companions, the Gate was sealed and the demonic threat defeated. Unfortunately, the seal was incomplete and has begun to weaken, allowing the demons to attack again. Concerned for the safety of his village, selfish perverted farmer Touka Scott digs traps to fend off demons. But fear not, for Shion is on his way to re-close the Hell Gate and save humanity.
Or at least he was, because the legendary hero is dead, having fallen into one of the traps Touka dug. Luckily, dealing with the dead is necromancer Anri Haynesworth's specialty. Although she cannot revive him, she Anri can at least save her mission by forcing Touka's soul into Shion's rotting body and dragging him to the Hell Gate in her place. Yuna Yunis, Touka's childhood friend, doesn't want to be left behind and accompanies him. Together, the three of them set off as the most unsuitable group to try and save the world.
