Mao seeks his father in the mythical ninth desert, where Hyudra—living water—preys on humans in a post-war wasteland.
Hyudra is living water that attacks moving humans. A thousand years ago, a large war ravaged the land and turned most of the world into desert, driving humans to hunt Hyudra for water. In total, there exist eight deserts. The story focuses on Mao as he heads to the phantom ninth desert to find his father. (Source: MU)
