*-Storisu to his fellow Static Demons-*

Storius is the main antagonist of Part 2, The Last user

Storius is the leader of the Static Demons, and the designer of the Stone Mask. His goal is to evolve further to become immune to the sun's rays, and thus he seeks the Crimson Stone of Shinku to empower his Wisdom book, battling the Breathing users for its possession. He is ranked 1st out of all the Static Demons.

## Appearance

Storius takes the appearance of a tall, very well-built man. He has elegant, relatively feminine facial features, and a much lighter complexion than the other Static Demons. He has long, dark, wavy hair which he keeps under a dark, tight head-wrap (taking it off as a sign of either honor or aggression).

He is otherwise minimally dressed, wearing high boots, forearm guards, a thong, and a flowing loincloth. When attacking, he produces long, shimmering blades from his forearms.

While travelling to Sweden, Storius will dons a fedora and a longcoat in order to appear less conspicuous.

## Personality

Storius is intelligent, ruthless, and single-minded in his dedication to obtaining the Blue Stone of Aiiro. He was stated to have been a genius among the Static Demons, having been the original creator of the Wisdom book.

Initially, he appears to be the most aloof and no-nonsense of the Static Demons, rarely smiling and often being the one who has to remind the other two of their ultimate objective. Obsessed with obtaining the Crimson Stone of Shinku, he is willing to trample anyone in his way, no matter how dishonorable the method. At his worst, he broke his word about fighting for the Stone fair and square, cheating to defeat Tsuneto Kushihara and then unleashing his Demons minions to kill a weakened Takahiro Kushihara and has been revealed to execute children, anticipating their revenge.

## Abilities

**Light Mode or Brilliant Bone Blade** in english (光の流法モード, *'Hikari' no Mōdo*): Storius power is that of light; he is able to produce bladed appendages from his arms and legs and use these to reflect blinding light toward his enemies. The light comes from the tiny, shark teeth-like claws running along the edge of the blade much like a chainsaw. It is from the reflections of these claws that gives Storius ' Light Slip Blades (輝彩滑刀, *Kisai Kattō*, lit. "Gleam Coloring Slide Blades") their shining intensity. In this mode, Storius' blades are sharp enough to cut through most objects, including an automobile and several bullets at blinding speeds.

**Body Manipulation:** As with the other Pillar Demons,Storius has the same body manipulation capabilities shared by his companions. Once he becomes the Grimoire, Storius shapeshifting abilities are enhanced with access to the genetic code of all of Earth's known life forms along with reactive evolution. As a result, Static Demons abilities like absorption become functionally obsolete.

**Grimoire** (グリモア *Gurimoa*): Storius acquires multiple abilities and skills:

* **Biology Manipulation**(生物学の操作 *Ikimonogaku no sōsa*)**:** As the Grimoire Form, Storius' body contains the DNA of every organism to ever live on the Earth. He can manipulate his entire body on a cellular level to gain the traits of any life-form. He can even detach parts of himself and transform them into separate organisms that act independently of himself, such as turning his hand into a flesh-eating squirrel or turning his feathers into armadillo-scale projectiles that morph into piranhas and octopus tentacles to bring down Takahiro's plane.

* **Flight:** By transforming his arms into crow-like wings,Storius can fly through the air at close to 240 km/h.

* **Reactive Evolution**: Storius can also alter his body to withstand extreme conditions, as seen when he evolved a continuous layer of inorganic porous material to survive being submerged in magma.

* **Superhuman Intelligence:** Storius is an extremely intelligent and cunning individual, even by the high standards of his species. He was the one who created the Wisdom book, studying the Static Demon's brains to unlock untapped power. In battle,Storius is methodical and observant, able to analyze the enemy's plan and plan accordingly with cunning and ruthlessness.Storius has also mastered his godly powers quickly, using the power of Earth's fauna and even its most obscure properties to his advantage. In every setback,Storius manages to quickly find a counter or a way to exploit it and reverse the situation. After he transforms into the Ultimate Life Form, his IQ is stated to be 400; a level far, far higher than that of even the most intelligent human.

* **Superhuman Senses:** Storius can sense the heat and air pressure around him by forming antennae. His vision is akin to an astronomical telescope, and he is able to hear anything from whale calls to bat screams.

* **Superhuman Strength:** Storius possesses incredible strength, which we have seen him go up to 900 kg/cm2.

* **Regeneration:** Storius can heal any wound in a short period of time.

* **Immortality:** Storius is invincible, immortal, and nigh indestructible. He does not age, is self-sustaining, and is described as more beautiful than a Greek sculpture. Additionally, his previous weakness to UV light is completely negated, along with his weakness to Breathing Styles.
