Madra Shenson

Madra Shenson (マドラ・シェンソン) is the runner-up of the previous Demon Sword Tournament. He is considered Dilhade's fastest swordsman.

Appearance
Madra looked beastly in appearance, with his whole body covered in scars.

Personality
Ever since losing against Kurt Ludwell, he became obsessed with getting stronger, spending the past two decades doing nothing but clearing the Granhelia dungeon's floors.

History
Thirty years ago, Madra went against Kurt in the tournament's finals and lost. His defeat caused him to go into the Granhelia Underground Labyrinth, a place where even the first floor is said to be challenging, all in order to get stronger and avenge his loss. He was rumored to have reached the 250th floor and remained there for twenty years.

Demon Sword Tournament Arc
In the present time, Madra goes against Lay Grandsley in the second match of Round 1. Madra offers Lay the option to withdraw, since unsheathing Leflecia will turn it into a deathly gale, but Lay nonchalantly turns down the offer. This causes Madra to draw his sword in a lightning-quick move and aim for Lay's neck, but he suddenly finds his sword shattered. As it turns out, Lay drew his sword and then sheathed it faster than Madra or anyone else could've seen. With the destruction of his sword, Madra loses the match.
