In England, Kiyo has his bag stolen. Zatch desperately chases down the culprit and captures him. The culprit's name is Kory. For some reason, Zatch and Kory become friends. Kory's arm is injured, and Kiyo kindly decides to take Kory to his father's university for treatment. However, when they arrive, Kiyo's father is gone and his office has been ransacked. All they find are some mysterious flowers
Kory's expression drastically changes when he sees the flowers. He appears to know something
According to Kory, a mamodo took up residence in a nearby castle about 6 months before. The surrounding villagers are forced to bring him all sorts of tribute, for fear the mamodo's armored knights will attack them and take them away. It also seems that Kory's parents went to the castle, but have not come back since. Then they learn that Kiyo's father was taken by the castle mamodo. Kiyo and Zatch set out for the castle, accompanied by Parco and Kanchome. But to free the villagers and find Kiyo's father, they must battle armored knights, counter sword attacks, and defeat the giant mamodo Baltro in the throne room. Baltro seems invincible, but Kiyo figures out Baltro's secret. Inside the hollow bodies of the armored knights, there are flowers. The same flowers are attached to Baltro. Baltro's power is using the flowers to manipulate things. Baltro, who appeared to be huge, is not the actual Baltro but rather a giant puppet controlled by the flowers
