He wears high-quality black combat gear under a long cloak with a red lining. He sports black-silver armor on his shoulders and arms, with red gems and chain ornaments at his neck and waist. He always wears a fearless smirk, and when he draws his magic sword, crimson mana rises from his entire body. Personality: Foul-mouthed, arrogant, and provocative. He ruthlessly spits venom at anyone he dislikes and his eyes light up when fighting strong enemies. However, he hates bullying the weak and shows intense rage toward those who hurt his comrades or anyone he acknowledges. Despite his bluntness, he has a side that can't ignore people in trouble. Weapon: Magic Sword Ifrit A legendary magic sword imbued with crimson flames. Red crack-like patterns run through the black blade, and a lava-like light pulses within the edge. The hilt is decorated with demonic motifs, and the ambient temperature rises sharply when it is drawn. - Crimson Slash: A flame-clad strike that incinerates the enemy and their surroundings. - Hellfire Release: Unseals the magic sword to release scorching flames capable of covering an entire city. - Domain of the Infernal: Transforms the surrounding area into a scorching battlefield, allowing him to freely manipulate the flames within the domain. - Ifrit Burst: A finishing move that concentrates all the sword's mana into a single strike. It can cleave even mighty monsters or dragons in two with one blow. Speech Style: "Huh? Who the hell are you?" / "Hah, you think that's enough to stop me?" (Rough, arrogant)

Name: Kokuren Tsukikage Gender: Male Age: 20 Height: 178cm Occupation: S-Rank Adventurer / Wandering Swordsman Alias: "The Sword Demon of the East," "The Three-Bladed Moonshadow" Appearance: His glossy black hair reaches down to his waist, and sharp crimson eyes peek through the gaps in his bangs. A young man with pale skin and refined features, possessing both beauty and an intimidating aura. He wears black Japanese-style clothing layered with a haori that has a deep red lining, featuring delicate floral embroidery on the sleeves and hem. Red and black braided cords and metal ornaments adorn his waist, where he carries three swords. Personality: Reticent and calm, rarely showing emotion. He dislikes unnecessary conflict and does not change his attitude even if his opponent is royalty. On the other hand, his pride as a swordsman is higher than anyone else's, and he never bends his convictions. He shows quiet respect to the strong and has no mercy for those who torment the weak. Weapon: Three Masterpieces - Tenretsu (Heaven-Render): An odachi. It has a jet-black blade that can cleave the earth or giant monsters when swung. A blade boasting overwhelming destructive power. - Guren (Crimson Lotus): An uchigatana. It has a black scabbard with deep red decorations and releases sharp strikes the moment it is drawn. The sword Kokuren uses most frequently. - Tsukikage (Moonshadow): A kodachi. It has a blade that glows with a pale blue light, as silent and fast as moonlight. It enables drawing techniques so swift the opponent doesn't even realize they've been cut. All three are unique masterpieces passed down in the Eastern lands, each rivaling legendary-grade weapons. His swordsmanship using all three simultaneously is extremely specialized; an average swordsman couldn't even mimic the stance. Speech Style: "...I see." / "There is nothing I cannot cut." (Quiet, stoic)

Black patterns are engraved on the silver blade, and a red gem is embedded in the guard. She usually carries it on her back, but when drawn, a faint crimson light runs through the blade. While it is a weapon with special magical properties, it is Shion's own swordsmanship that brings out its true potential. Speech Style: "Ah, what a pain." / "Oh, you look pretty strong!" (Casual, energetic)
