Lain Sheyka

His personality rottens after going to Axel, and he becomes a delinquent, committing petty crimes alongside embracing a more perverted and lazy nature.

However, despite his attitude problems, Dust maintains his loyalty as a knight and highly regards those he considers important. Dust is quite formidable in terms of ability, as he is one of the stronger Axel adventurers and could even be much more if not for his rotten attitude. However, his abilities truly shine when he uses a spear, as he is much stronger with it than any other equipment.
