The hunt continues in the bizarre far future of 12,090 A.D, where the immortal vampire lords who were the only winners of mankind's nuclear war still oppress the human survivors who have pushed the blood-drinking fiends back to the lawless Frontier.

Tyrant's Stars brings a legacy of evil hurtling down when a meteorite that destroys half a sector in the northern Frontier is revealed as none other than the return of Valcua, the undead Ultimate Noble, exiled from our planet millenia ago...and now back to wreak vengeance on the living descendants of those who banished him. Then, in Fortress of the Elder God, there is terror enough on Earth already, as D ventures forth against an ancient abomination that an army of 30,000 vampires once failed to destroy!

Created by Hideyuki Kikuchi. Adapted by Saiko Takai.

The Nobility have captured a young Frontierswoman named Tae and held her captive for 8 years, and her prison - the remote Castle Gradinia - can only be accessed by those brave (or senseless) enough to cross into the no-man's-land known as the Outer Frontier. The mysterious "people finder" Granny Viper has been charged with the recovery of the girl... but can she trust her hired escorts, the notoriously shifty Bullow Brothers? In a race across treacherous terrain, it will be up to D to lead the charge and level all enemies on this rescue mission!
