In 1948, the time of the Second Great War, it was said that each Cardinal nation had powerhouses, besides their Saints, that were capable of levelling an entire mountain on their own.
Ensho Kurogane, otherwise infamously known as the Rising Smoke of the East or the Lord of Ash, was one of the East's powerhouses.
Not only was he a mage of the Master Rank (Tier 4), but his skills in combat and affinity weren't lacking in the slightest. He had reached the realm of Martial King and the realm of Mana Emperor.
His most notable feat was during an attack on the Kazehime district from the North, which comprised roughly 50 stealth airships.
Ensho Kurogane, who was the sole powerhouse designated in that district at the time, was able to fend off the entire attack.
