History
15 years ago, Kiba was ranked 12th in the KOK A-League, being the highest ranked in Japan at the time. Kiba though mysteriously disappeared from the A-League, leaving to challenge Edelweiss along with Ranbalt Raab. They though failed their quest, with Kiba remarking they didn't even get close.

White Summit
Kiba, along with Raab, meets Stella, Ikki, Yui and Ascarid in a small village near Edelberg, a giant mountain where Edelweiss lives. He and Raab stop a group called Murder Entry from attacking Stella's group.

They then ask what Stella and her group are doing there, guessing they are going to challenge Edelweiss. Like many others there, Kiba is also there to fight Edelweiss, although his reason for doing so is unclear. It's possible Kiba either wants to help Raab, or simply gain Edelweiss' title as the world's strongest swordsman. Stella and her friends though decide to fly on top of the mountain to Edelweiss, instead of joining with Kiba and Raab.

Intense Cold Trial
Later, Kiba and Raab are still remaining in the village, conserving their strength for the upcoming cllash with Edelweiss. Raab also easily defeats 50 Blazers, after he provoked them. As the two finally decide to head for Edelweiss they are stopped by an unknown girl.

The girl is revealed to be Fu Xiaoli, one of the Four Sages of Shinryuu Temple, who is currently on the run. Xiaoli challenges both Kiba and Raab, manifesting her Device. Kiba decides to fight her first, drawing his own Device. Kiba stabs the ground with his Device, summoning white mist. When the mist clears, ten Kiba's are suddenly present. The 9 of them are actually just ice clones created by the real Kiba. Kiba, along with his ice clones, then engage Xiaoli. Kiba manages to trap her, with the ice clones, trying to freeze her with his Device. Xiaoli though grabs the Kiba's sword, not being effected by the ability, due to copying it. She then punches Kiba in the abdomen, defeating him. Xiaoli also defeats Raab.
