The Five-colored Blades (五色の刃) is a S-class adventurer party led by Heinz. They were once a group of five adventurers with Heinz as their leader.
Background[]
As novices, Riley and Heinz happened to be registering at the Adventurers' Guild at the same time. Bonding over their shared childhood dream of becoming legendary heroes, Riley invited the other to form a party together. They slowly gained more companions, beginning with Delizah then Edgar and Martina, they became known as the Five-colored Blades. Starting out, even goblin exterminations were a struggle, but as they blossomed into their own during their first year, they could eventually stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the veteran[1] D-class adventurers. In their second year, they were promoted to C-class. In their third, they cleared a previously undiscovered dungeon, where they acquired even more fame and magic items. However, only Heinz alone was promoted to B-class.[2]
Heinz alone was promoted to B-class, which caused Riley to feel jealous, since he was only known as 'one of Heinz' companions', despite perceiving himself to be Heinz' equal. Riley only left after the two had a disagreement regarding forming connections with Earl Palpapek, following the assassination of Darcia.[2]
The High Priest Gordan sent them an unusual request of assassinating a Dhampir and its parents, which they completed, though they only found the Dark Elf mother.[2] Afterwards, they spent the money they had earned to buy drinks the same day.[3]

It was well-known that the five members of the party had challenged the Vampires in combat during the night where they were supposed to have the advantage. All of them had gained the title, ‘one who tears through the darkness.’ It was true that even Edgar thought that it was an exaggerated and embarrassing Title. Defeating a powerful Vampire as such a being Heinz’s party had been praised as great heroes. But the Vampires had clearly been on the verge of death before the fatal blow. Believing it was too dangerous to let the truth be known to people That true if this truth were to spread, it would provoke the Demon King’s remnants including Pure-breed Vampires who worship evil gods other than Hihiryushukaka. "If a great conflict were to begin, it will not be only the underworld that suffers losses."
The other members were C-rank, so they were a group of capable individuals.
