**Valiant Dragon** is Story Keeper's red and black primary form accessed by using the Valiant Dragon Fragment Tale in the Holy Sword Swordriver.

Valiant Dragon consists of the following parts:

* **Dragon Helmet**: The head.

* + **Sword Crown**: It is installed on the top of the head as a proof of being selected by a Sacred Sword. It has the role of adjusting the state of Power Rider Story Keeper and the Sacred Sword, and adjusts the power balance between them and cancels transformation in an emergency. It is also a blade with a sharp edge, and can also be used in battle.

* + **Animask**: The forehead mask. It has the property of enhancing the physical ability of the user, and by exerting the power of the Fragment Tale contained in the midshelf of the Holy Sword Swordriver, it exerts various abilities. It is said to be particularly compatible with animal-based Fragment Tales.

* + **Valiant Dragon Mask**: The right side of the helmet. The power of the Valiant Dragon Fragment Tale grants the ability to sense evil beings.

* + **Flame Shade**: The eyes. Even in a burning flame, the user can catch the target and never miss it.

* + **Histomask**: The left side of the helmet. It has a characteristic that strongly affects the activation of special abilities by the user, and exerts various abilities by putting the power of the Fragment Tale contained in the left shelf of the Holy Sword Swordriver. It is said to be particularly compatible with the story-based Fragment Tales.

* **Sacred Robe**: The suit granted by the user of the "Flame Sword Raging Fire". It is attached at the same time as the awakening of the Sacred Sword, and gives the user the power to fight such as improving sword skills, strengthening physical abilities, and activating special abilities. This characteristic is assigned to the right half of the body, which is based on the Divine Beast "**Valiant Dragon**", the center of the body, and the left half of the body.

* **Dragon Shoulder**: The right shoulder. It has the power of the Divine Beast, "**Valiant Dragon**", and uses the courage of the user to bring forth the dragon's mighty power.

* **Fire Arm**: The right arm. Bringing the right arm of the "Ride Arm" to red heat gives the power to control the flame freely, enabling the release of the Valiant Dragon that has turned into a flame. In addition, it becomes one with the horrible flames of the "Flame Sword Raging Fire", and doubles the sharpness of the sword skill of the flame attribute.

* **Flame Veil**: The right half of the suit. It is made of a series of flame-attributed hard scales, preventing any evil attacks. There is only one scale that grows upside down somewhere, and if you touch it, it will awaken the fierce anger of the Valiant Dragon.

* **Histoleft**: The left half of the suit. It has a characteristic that strongly affects the activation of special abilities by the users, and exerts various abilities by putting the power of the Fragment Tale contained in the left shelf of the Holy Sword Swordriver. It is said to be particularly compatible with the story-based Fragment Tales.

* **Pagearm**: The left arm. The exterior of the armor "Fire Robe" is laminated armor called "**Page Armor**", which is formed by stacking trained plate armor in multiple layers. As a result, it has acquired strong defense and the flexibility to follow various actions.

* **Anicenter**: The center portion of the suit. It has the property of enhancing the physical ability of a transformer, and by exerting the power of the Fragment Tale contained in the midshelf of the Holy Sword Swordriver, it exerts various abilities. It is said to be particularly compatible with animal-based Fragment Tales.

* **Ride Leg**: The legs and feet of the suit. Due to the characteristics of the "Aniride" in the central part of the armor "Fire Robe", overall leg strength such as running power, jumping power and kicking power has been greatly enhanced. In addition, when the special move is activated, the destructive power of the kick is greatly increased by putting together a terrible flame.
