{Redirection} Technique Name: [Redirection]

Class: [3, 2, 1] - 7-1.

Technique Type: [Other] - Kidou, Quincy Technique, Bount Technique, Human Technique, Hollow Technique, Other

Technique Element: [None] - If any

Technique Description and Effects: [What does your technique do? How strong is it? What is it's range of abilities? List these things below.]

This is a vicious technique used by strong reiatsu beings. This allows the user to grab a hold of reiatsu, cycle the energy through their body, consume it (therefore making it theirs), and then hurl it back. In other words, one can redirect the enemy's reiatsu based attack by catching it and throwing it back either by spin or just catch and throw.

How this works has been stated above. Now, the important thing to recognize is that there are three classes to this technique. The class 3 version can catch reiatsu of any class except class 1+, and redirect it for half cost of the technique. The class 2 version can do the very same, except it layers the user's reiatsu strength on top of the enemy's reiatsu strength for the returned attack. It also uses the full cost. The class 1 version can return any technique regardless of reiatsu strength, and does so with the user's reiatsu strength layered on top of the enemy's. However, it does so for double cost, and does not work on class 0 techniques.

How to use technique: [How do you use this technique? List below.]

Stated above.

Drawback: [What are the disadvantages and drawbacks of your technique? Don't forget that the drawback must be equal in strength to the technique. List everything related to the drawback below.]

This will burn the user. It will burn their arms. It will burn their insides a bit. They will cook a little. This will strain their body and reiatsu. It can only be used once per post. It shuts off release if used 3+ times in a released state.

{Onibi (Oni Fire)} Technique Name: Onibi (Oni Fire)

Class: 2

Technique Type: Zanjutsu

Usable By: Shinigami, Vizard and Rogue

Technique Description and Effects: Onibi is a brutal technique used with either a blunt weapon or with a blunt part of a weapon such as the pommel. The user's thrusts their weapon into the target of choice. This sends a force equal to the user's strength alongside a shockwave equivalent to the user's highest offensive stat into and out the back of the target. Thus creating a large gaping, cylindrical hole through the target struck by Onibi. Upon mastery Strength user's that have above 600 strength half the stamina cost.

How to use technique: The user performs a powerful thrust with a blunt part of a weapon and releases a shockwave created from their highest offensive stat excluding SpPr unless in release.

Technique Drawbacks: This technique requires at least 600 strength to pull off without straining the user's arm from a single attack. The user also requires a 2 in a weapon skill to learn. If the user doesn't have at least 600 strength, they can only pull off this technique once per arm. If they attempt to perform this technique again, they will lose all function of that appendage during the rest of said thread. Unless healed or given a rest period during the thread it was used. Those with 600 strength can take the stress of this technique twice per arm.

{Distortion Sakkaku: Echo} Technique Name: Distortion Sakkaku: Echo

Class: [3]

Technique Type (Kido, Hollow/Arrancar Technique, Human World Dweller Technique, Other): [Other]

Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): All

Technique Element: [None]

Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect):

This technique is a very powerful illusion that may completely disrupt the target’s mind. The user must state the name of the technique while making physical contact with the opponent. If the technique is mastered, then the user may place the technique on the opponent through contact between their weapons. The purpose of Echo is to shatter the opponent’s focus through deceit. They may believe that it acts on their sense of hearing, but, in actuality, the sounds all come from the mind.

After the technique is activated, for the next three posts, all sounds that the target hears will echo with quick repetition, usually overlapping. Each echo grows louder and louder, and the ringing never ends. The sounds will continue repeating until they scream in the target’s mind and will escalate further. This both tests the strength of the target’s sanity and also prevents them from using their ears in battle, for the echoes in their head distract from the sounds of reality. In addition, they would be unable to cast incantations, for just speaking worsens the effects of Echo. Even if there are no other sounds, the target can still hear their beating heart and breathing lungs. The only people immune to Echo are the deaf.

How to use technique (How is it activated?): [Stated above.]

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc)

The first drawback is the reaitsu cost. This technique requires the user to pay 400 reiatsu to activate, as all Class 3 techniques require. However, the second drawback is difficulty of activating this technique. It requires physical contact as mentioned above, whether it is prolonged or just a quick brush against the shoulder. Lastly, this technique prevents the user from speaking afterwards, meaning that the user may not say any incantation or activate any other Distortion Sakkaku. Those with more than double the user’s reiatsu strength are immune. In addition, anyone with more than a total of 4 SKP between Illusion Resist and Calm Mind are also unaffected.

{Entei (Dam)} Technique Name: Entei (Dam)

Class: 4

Technique Type: Other

Usable By: Any Race

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects:

Entei is the first of a number of sword techniques, but is a particularly potent one in its own right. By sheathing the sword, the user can start gathering Reiatsu within the sheath to surround and infuse their weapon, building up strength within it. Once it has built up, the user uses the gathered energy with a single slash, releasing the stored Reiatsu along with their weapon. Mechanically, this adds the stored Reiatsu to the user's attack for a single slash. This counts as a short-term stat alteration.

How to use technique:

Store Reiatsu in a sheathed sword, and release with a slash.

Technique Drawbacks:

First off, the technique's cost is not static; rather than having a set cost as a Class 4 technique, the cost of the technique is based on how much Reiatsu is put into it. The user can store any amount of Reiatsu in their sheathed weapon, up to an amount equal to their Reiatsu Strength or Spiritual Pressure, whichever is higher. Up to 250 Reiatsu per post may be put into a sheathed weapon, though less can be added. Any attempt to add Reiatsu higher than the user's Reiatsu Strength or Spiritual Pressure (whichever is higher) causes the sheath to break and the user's Reiatsu to explode outwards at point-blank range. Requires a 2 in Swords or higher to use.

{Concussive blast} Technique Name: [Concussive blast]

Class: [4]

Technique Type: [General Spiritual Technique]

Usable By: [Any]

Technique Element: [Fire]

Technique Description and Effects: [This ability fires small fiery blasts of energy, moving at speeds of 600, that explode upon impact with anything. This is unique, as you don't have to fire a single shot of energy, but can fire these in groups. The offensive stat of this is reiatsu strength .]

How to use technique: [There are two ways to fire this ability. The first way to fire this, is to fire a single, large blast, the size of a car. This version will have the full offensive stat of the user. The second version fires many smaller blasts. In order to make more than one fireball, the offensive stat of this attack is split in half, being evenly divided between them. The lowest offensive stat the fireballs can have is 50. You fire them from the palm of your hand.]

Technique Drawbacks: [100 reiatsu, weaker when fired in mass.]

{Quinquaginta Eiecit (Fifty Thrust)}

Technique Name: Quinquaginta Eiecit (Fifty Thrust)

Class: 4

Technique Type: Weapon

Usable By: Any Race

Technique Element: N/A

Technique Description and Effects: By concentrating reiatsu into the arm of choice in the same manner that one would in preparation to utilize a step technique this technique begins bringing not only an enhanced flexibility and durability to the muscles of the arm, but the speed at which the arm can be moved. This technique enables a user with any sort of weapon to actually thrust it forward a total of fifty times in rapid succession equal to double their maximum speed. While the technique enables the user to thrust forward at a rapid rate to inflict damage rapidly it isn't very well suited to dealing lethal damage normally as the wounds inflicted normally will only be a few centimeters in depth.

How to use technique: Listed above.

Technique Drawbacks: Costs 150 reiatsu. Counts as a short term stat boost.

{Bakudo #55: Mutsohoyo (Painless Embrace)} Technique Name: [Bakudo #55: Mutsohoyo (Painless Embrace)]

Class: [4]

Technique Type: [Kido]

Technique Element: [None]

Technique Description and Effects:

This is a sealing technique. It is used not to seal the enemy however, but to seal another Kido. This has two distinct effects. The first is that it can be used to seal a Kido inside of an object, which for the next hour can instantly activate that Kido at any time at will of the user, even if left behind somewhere. It costs the cost of this technique and the cost of the Kido in question. That is one way of using it. The second is more effective. This can seal a technique inside of an enemy or an ally. The technique in question has its reiatsu broken down by the enemy or ally, who then gains extra reiatsu to use. The full reiatsu put into the technique, except for this Bakudo, goes into the enemy. Therefore, if Hado #88 was sealed in the enemy or ally, all of that reiatsu simply converts into 600 reiatsu for the enemy to use.

The trouble comes there. If the enemy or ally is given reiatsu that causes them to go over their current cap, they must spend all excess in their next post, or their body will explode from the excess and they will die. This can be used at the start of the fight as a bomb technique on suspecting enemies.

How to use technique:

To seal a technique inside of the enemy, the user needs to have physical contact with the part of the body that they will be sealing the technique into. They then activate this technique and pay the cost for it and the technique they wish to seal within the foe. Alternatively, the same is said of an object. Seal this into an object with physical contact with the object, and then use the object as one sees fit. The object automatically releases the Kido if the user gets up to a mile away from it. The object also cannot exceed the user in size.

Technique Drawbacks:

This technique leaves behind physical remnant of techniques. This means that if one were to use a stone based Kido that made stone, while the reiatsu would go into an ally, the stones would still form and remain behind. The same is true of an object, which would become filled by stones. This makes it highly implausible to use elemental Kido on objects or allies. Things such as fire, wind, or lightning, which are only temporary elements that cannot be long lasting can still be used, and they will have no remnants, and instead will just convert directly into reiatsu.

Incantation and Effect):

The incantation causes the class of the Kido imbued to go up by one, resulting in a higher class Kido for the cost of one class lower. For example, if a class 5 Kido is imbued, the incantation causes it to be valued at class 4 instead. It uses the same cost as a class 5 Kido however, the only extra cost being that of this technique. ("A dream within a dream, a heart within a soul, a core within a nucleus which in turn is within an atom. Within all there is still more. And within thee, I place this seal!"}

{Bakudo #61: Rikujokoro (Six Rods Prison of Light)} Technique Name: [Bakudo #61: Rikujokoro (Six Rods Prison of Light)]

Class: [4]

Technique Type: Kido

Technique Element: [Light]

Technique Description and Effects:

Summons six thin, wide beams of light that slam into a target's midsection from all sides, holding them in place. This technique also results in total paralysis, and can even suspend targets in mid air.

How to use technique:

This requires the user's eyes to be focused on the target, and their casting hand to be aimed at the target as well. The six beams will then close in, but those who are quick enough or instinctive enough will be able to dodge.

Incantation and Effect:

The incantation increases the reiatsu strength of this technique by 25%. (I.E. Reiatsu strength of 100 is instead worth 125.) ("Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six!")

{Bakudo #62: Hyapporankan (Hundred Steps Fence)} Technique Name: [Bakudo #62: Hyapporankan (Hundred Steps Fence)]

Class: [4]

Technique Type: Kido

Technique Element: [None]

Technique Description and Effects:

A single rod of violet reiatsu is hurled at the target. On its way, it suddenly splits into several rods at once, which then pin the target to any nearby wall-like surface. Their body is then totally immobilized if this hits.

How to use technique:

It needs the caster to aim the casting hand at the target, not unlike any traditional Hado.

Incantation and Effect:

The number of rods is typically fifteen, but will double to thirty and will allow this to be used on up to two targets at once if incantation is used. Incantation unknown.

{Bakudo #64: Tousei Takai (Intoxication High)} Technique Name: Bakudo #64: Tousei Takai [Intoxication High]

Class: 4

Technique Type: Kido

Usable By: Kido-Using Races

Technique Element: Air

Technique Description and Effects:

Tousei Takai is a flexible Bakudo, one that is used to ensnare and warp the mental abilities of the target that is caught within it. When used, this technique allows the user to release a constant fog of a red-tinted gas from their mouth until this Kido ends, which is two posts after its initial use. This fog will constantly spread wherever they go, leaving a trail behind them that will hover low to the ground, flying no higher than thirty feet above the ground at its peak. However, this cloud will remain for an extended period of time, namely a full five posts once the initial duration of this technique ends. The fact that this technique remains for such a long time, and can cover a fair area depending on how much the user moves around, makes this a very versatile and broad-spreading technique.

But what exactly does this cloud do? It fogs the mind. The victim has a hard time focusing once they are within this cloud, their vision blurring and their head spinning. This is just from the first breath, causing a fair amount of disorientation right away. But it gets worse the longer one is exposed to the cloud. After the second post of exposure, the victim loses their balance, causing them to stumble and easily collapse, making step techniques risky to use. Additionally, their vision begins to fade slightly, tinting everything a faded gray-red to further add to their blurred sight. A third post makes the victim unable to stand between the dizzying spinning sensation, their balance completely vanishing, and a sudden lack of focus that causes their mind to flit from one subject to another. Four posts, and the victim is practically a zombie, eyes drawn to the nearest shiny or pretty-colored object while they stumble around, unable to even walk thanks to their inability to balance. Battle Focus and Strength of Will can delay the effects of these symptoms, adding a single post per symptom for every 2 combined ranks in these skills (i.e. a 1 in both would cause the initial disorientation at post 2, balance and faded vision at post 3, and loss of balance at post 4, as the combined total is two ranks.)

The user is immune to this technique, as it is infused with their Reiatsu, and it can be blown away with a technique with a superiority of two classes or 25% higher Reiatsu Strength than the user's. Wind-based attacks, however, can blow this away with some ease, though the smoke is constantly being emitted, which can neutralize a single wind attack.

How to use technique (How is it activated?):

Speak the incantation, and cast the spell. As long as the mouth remains open, smoke will continue to pour from it. Move around to spread the smoke over a large area.

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc)

Reiatsu cost. Besides that, there are a few other drawbacks. First off, this technique is ineffective against opponents who can get above it, having a maximum height limit of thirty feet above a solid surface. Additionally, it can affect allies who are caught in the cloud, making this a double-edged sword. Finally, it takes a while for the strongest effects to kick in, meaning that the victims must be contained within the technique constantly to make full use of the effects.

Incantation and Effect (If Kido only): The smoke can be spread for an additional two posts upon use of the incantation, and the cloud's duration is doubled to ten posts after the spreading ends. (“Breathe in the mists of ambrosia, feel the mists fill your mind. Know the world, let it know you; spin to the ground like a dandelion tuft, stare at the sky and truly wonder at the nature of the stars.”)

{Bakudo #81: Danku (Splitting Void)} Technique Name: [Bakudo #81: Danku (Splitting Void)]

Class: [2]

Technique Type: Kido

Technique Element: [None]

Technique Description and Effects:

Creates a clear, very high and wide barrier of reiatsu instantaneously in front of the user. Can be used to block reiatsu attacks, low level physical attacks, and any Kido from numbers 1-89, though this is also still dependent on the user's reiatsu strength.

How to use technique:

This can be cast with mental thought, with hand motions, or with naming it. This requires no special movements for casting.

Incantation and Effect:

The strength of the technique goes up 40% from incantation. (I.E. Reiatsu strength valued at 100 is instead valued at 140 during incantation.) "Barrier of dust, shield of north, protector of Men! Arise from ashes and reveal our weakness. Dissolve into air and hide our sins! On altars of greed we call you. In graves of virtue we worship you. Bind, scatter, reduce to ash! Cripple, crush, dissolve!"

{Bakudo #88: Isshuin Kaze (Shadow Ties)} Technique Name: [Bakudo #88: Isshuin Kaze (Shadow Ties)]

Class: 2

Technique Type: Kido

Technique Element: Shadow

Technique Description and Effects:

Several tendril like shadows form from either the shadow of the target or the shadow of the caster. The shadows then coil around the target and constrict them in place, causing them to be immobile. The tendrils are very flexible and are difficult to pierce. Can be destroyed only by superior reiatsu strength or superior class technique. Cannot be destroyed by physical means.

How to use technique:

The speaks the kidou's name then presses his hands on his shadow on the ground. Also to make the tendrils form from the opponent's shadow, he must touch their shadow first.

Technique Drawbacks:

Reiatsu cost. Requires focus, and leaves the user vulnerable during continued use.

Incantation and Effect:

Reiatsu strength of the technique increaess by 40% during use of incantation. (I.E. Reiatsu strength valued at 100 is instead valued at 140.) ("Trap yee black dog, dark tower in the south. Floodgates of darkness, corrupted despair runs through the veins of the land. Colossus of clouds, smirking sins, eye of the tempest beast.

{Hado #35: Raikou Kawa (Lightning River)} Technique Name: [Hado #35: Raikou Kawa (Lightning River)]

Class: 5

Technique Type: Kido

Technique Element: Lightning

Technique Description and Effects:

Out of the hand, a burst of lightning and electricity shoots out up to ten meters. It's not very strong, but it does inflict second degree burns and can slow an enemy. The main effect is numbing and paralysis. The electricity is potent enough to stun an enemy and their electric signals and nerves for a bit, immobilizing them for a few seconds. It also makes them numb for 3 posts, so they can't feel anything during that time.

How to use technique:

Requires the user to aim a casting hand at the target and then fire.

Technique Drawbacks:

Numbness of the hand for usage, along with traditional reiatsu cost.

Incantation and Effect:

Doubles the size of the initial blast of lightning. ("The current is rushing. The poorest of citizens close their doors and pray for there to be no leak, no flood. Yet they will be led amiss, still, for the mighty current cannot be withstood by mere straw!")

Technique Description and Effects:

A rope fashioned from the caster's reishi is launched from their hand at the opponent. Upon impact, this then entangles the opponent and ties them up.

How to use technique:

This technique requires aiming with the hand, not unlike any basic Hado spell.

Incantation and Effect:

Incantation causes the robe to elongate and gag even more of the target's body when used, and also ups the Kido strength by 10%. (I.E. A reiatsu strength of 100 would be counted as 110 instead.) Incantation unknown.

How to use technique: Speak the spell and point hand at the target.

Incantation and Effect: "Arise god of thunder! Awake mother of storms! Unleash the lighting on the sinners!" When the incantation is spoken, the Reiatsu Strength used to determine the power of Byakurai is increased by 10%. (i.e. 100 Reiatsu Strength is treated as 110.)

Technique Description and Effects: Electric current flows through any object the user touches and is able to lead electricity, damaging any target that is in contact with the object the current runs through. This lasts for one post, but by paying the cost of the spell a second time, the duration is increased to two posts.

How to use technique: Speak the spell and touch an object, channeling electricity through it.

Incantation and Effect: Incantation unknown. When the incantation is spoken, the number of active posts this is used for is doubled. (With maximum cost, this can be up to four posts.)

{Advanced Air Arsenal: Air strings} Technique Name: Advanced Air Arsenal: Air strings

Class:8-1

Technique Type: Reishi Technique

Usable By: Any

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect): This technique is much more refined and eloquent than the other methods of Advanced Air Arsenal. This technique, rather than generating large structures, instead focuses on the production of condensed and fortified strings of reishi. Wether it's to help wire a trap, to manipulate a far-off object, or just to tie someone up, these threads are very useful.

At class 8, these threads are well...threads. They are considered to have an offensive durability of 25 and anyone with the physical strength to lift themselves off the ground can generally break these strings without any effort. There is nothing particularly special about these strings, other than that the fact that they have such a thin reishi composition and structure that they have literally zero reiatsu signature and can only be sensed physically through sight.

At class 7, these strings gain some utility. The strings can be manipulated by the user and have an offensive durability of 100, increasing by 100 for each class beyond this one (a maximum of 700 durability at class 1).

At class 5, these strings are more than just tools. In addition to being able to be used for a variety of common jobs, these threads actually have the spiritual durability to cut into materials they are braced against. However, due to their thinness, the cutting power of the thread is inferior to it's actual durability, boasting a mere cutting power of 275 at class 5, increasing by 75 per class ( 350 at class 4, 425 at class 3, 500 at class 2, 575 at class 1).

Finally, at class 2, these strings are pretty high-quality. Not only improving in durability and cutting power, but also holding the power to be spiritually conductive, allowing the user to channel other techniques through the strings as though they were an extension of the user's body.

Technique Drawbacks Reiatsu cost. Additionally, these strings can only last up to 5 posts, increasing to 10 posts at proficcient, and 15 posts at mastered.

{Advanced Air Ground} Technique Name: Advanced Air Ground

Class: 7

Technique Type: Spiritual Technique

Technique Description and Effects:

This is a technique designed especially for breakdancing and parkour, utilizing a more advanced version of air ground. While in a terrain where air ground exists, the user can create more complex surfaces like air walls, air ceilings, air ledges and even an air push. This allows the user to perform handstands and windmills on air as if it were normal ground or even stand upside-down on air as if gravity were reversed. The air push makes the air ground very elastic so that the user can jump higher. It allows for slight movement even when restrained by a Bakudō.

For a cost of twenty-five Reiatsu, the user will be able to momentarily cast an "air ground" on areas such as in Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, allowing the user to "double jump" or cast Shunpo in mid-air. If this technique is mastered, the user will be able to create air grounds that last for as long as a single post. This can be used in creative ways to improve acrobatics and visual impressiveness.

Drawback: No drawback.

{Shindōyoku (Vibrating Blade)} Technique Name: Shindōyoku (Vibrating Blade)

Class: 3

Technique Type: Zanjutsu

Usable By: Shinigami, Vizard and Rogue

Technique Description and Effects: User coats their weapon of choice with Reiatsu causing the weapon to glow the same color of the users natural Reiatsu. The Reiatsu resonates at extremely high frequencies when attacking allowing ones bladed weapon to weaken the molecular bonds of whatever the user is cutting into for one single strike. In turn increasing the weapon of choices cutting ability and lowering the strength of an opposing technique if it comes into contact with another source of Reiatsu by 25%. If mastered it's 30%. This Allows it to cut through nearly everything in the users path with seamless ease. The cutting power of this technique relies completely on the users highest offensive stat (Spiritual Pressure excluded unless in release) allowing it to cut through Reiatsu based techniques as long as the users highest offensive stat is higher than the opposing technique.

How to use technique: Coat blade in Reiatsu and use.

Drawback: This technique counts as a short term stat boost. You need at least a 2 in a Sword Skill and the right amount of Reiatsu to use this technique. This technique puts a short term strain on the users arm due to the high vibration of the weapon playing part in this technique and needs a total of two of the users posts, one if mastered to rest for each individual arm that is used. This strain will cause the user some minor pain but consistent uses of the technique before the two post wait period will put a higher strain on the users weapon arm for each use, tearing muscle, breaking bones, etc.

{Sandjouken (Lit. Shotgun Fist)} Technique Name: [Sandjouken (Lit. Shotgun Fist)]

Class: [4]

Technique Type: Other

Technique Element: none

Technique Description and Effects:

An intense burst of sharpened reiatsu, augmented by the user's physical strength. If visible it takes the form of a number of spikes that rapidly form from the end of the users fist during a punch, Although you need an ES of at least 200 to be able to see the spikes. It was adapted to fight against Hierro when the zanpakuto was disabled, but it was soon discovered anyone could learn it, even the Arrancar it was designed to fight.

It adds 75% of the users strength to 25% of their RS for the strength and RS of the attack. ( 75% str + 25% RS = Atk RS and Str)

OR

75% RS and 25% Strength for the strength and RS of the attack (25% Str + 75% RS = Atk RS and Str)

It allows the physically weak to use their Reiatsu to inflict physical damage, and it allows the physically strong to use their strength to inflict reishi damage.

How to use technique:

To activate this technique the user must focus their Reiatsu into compressed spikes underneath the skin on their hand, and release them as they punch. It takes a decent amount of reiatsu control, but is easier to learn than kido.

Technique Drawbacks:

Every time this technique is used it costs 150 reiatsu and damages the user's hand by tearing up the skin.

The user must choose which strength/reiatsu strength combination they want when they learn this attack, and it cannot be changed without relearning the attack. You cannot know both versions of the technique at the same time.

To learn this technique you must have 2 in any martial art.

{Barrier Stance} Technique Name: Barrier Stance

Class: [2]

Technique Type: [Hakuda] - Kidou, Quincy Technique, Bount Technique, Human Technique, Hollow Technique, Other

Technique Element: [N/a]

Technique Description and Effects: [This is a defensive fighting stance, inhibiting the user’s mobility in exchange for a near perfect physical defense. The user focuses all of their senses on the space around them, enhancing their perception and reflexes within a short radius around the user, roughly the space of their arms, allowing them to react to attacks within this space with unexpected precision and speed. Instinct is doubled within this radius, and sensory stats are also counted as doubled with regards to sight.]

How to use technique: [The user visualizes a sphere around themselves, that extends out to around their maximum arms reach, and concentrates all their focus into this sphere around themselves, unconcerned with what goes on outside of the sphere. This technique requires at least a 2 in any hand to hand martial art to learn.]

Drawback: [Mobility is heavily restricted while using this form. In fact, when unmastered, the user is incapable of maintaining this form while moving around, and so a user must remain stationary when using this technique. Even when mastered, movement is limited to only one or two steps at a time. This form cannot be used while holding a weapon, although gauntlets, or any form of device that does not need to be held is fine. Finally, using this technique too many times will inhibit the user’s senses for the remainder of the thread. After three uses of this technique, the user’s senses will be overtaxed and their Sensory stat will drop by 10%, plus an additional 10% per use afterwards. This user will suffer similar consequences for prolonged usage of this technique. Using this technique for more than two consecutive posts, will cause the same 10% reduction in senses, with an additional 10% per additional post.]

{Gokuinken} Technique Name: Gokuinken

Class: 2

Technique Type: Hakuda

Technique Element: N/A

Technique Description and Effects: This is a technique that disrupts an opponent’s ability to use reiatsu through striking specific pressure points throughout the body. A beginner with this ability can only prevent the use of a technique launched through that body part once, but someone who has mastered this technique can cause a backlash of energy, when any technique requiring reiatsu is attempted, causing the attack to explode in the user’s face.

How to use technique: In order to use this technique, the user much have a 4 in any of the following martial arts: Karate, Dim Mak, Bujinkan Ninjutsu, Kung Fu or Aikido. The user must then strike any one of four key points on the opponent’s body, while simultaneously infusing their strikes with reiatsu. The four points are the two reiatsu vents on the user’s wrists, the Saketsu or the Hakutsui. Landing a direct hit on the Saketsu or Hakutsui will prevent any reiatsu technique from being used, while striking the reiatsu vents will only prevent the ability from being used through that limb (such as a Cero being fired from that particular hand).

Drawback: First off, this technique can only prevent one ability per use, meaning it can only prevent up to a maximum of four abilities from being used at one time (as it can only potentially hit a maximum four points at any one time). Unless mastered this technique will not do anything of harm to the opponent. Even if it is mastered, the damage suffered by the target will only be equal to half their reiatsu strength, plus the reiatsu strength of the user, meaning that fighters with lower reiatsu strength will not find this ability as effective. This technique can also, only be applied by the user’s hands, and since reiatsu must be infused into them, costs 10 reiatsu per blow, whether they connect or not. Shunpo or other stepping techniques cannot be prevented by targeting the wrist vents, only by hitting the Saketsu or Hakutsui.

{Shunpo} Technique Name: Shunpo (Flash Steps)

Class: 7

Technique Type: Kidō

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects:

A movement technique that allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow. The focal point that determines the basis of this technique is speed. As speed is the main point of the technique, the method is best characterized by how fast one can get from Point A to Point B in the least amount of steps. Training and skill are what determines how fast a user of Shunpo can move. Those of little skill in the technique or those who haven't used it for an extended amount of time would obviously be out of practice, causing those individuals to be considerably slower. This requires the use of more steps to move the same distance and become tired more easily in a shorter amount of time. A single step magnifies speed for that step by ten times. Shunpo uses fifty Reiatsu per step. This one is automatically learned in the academy. All Shinigami know this when created. This technique does not take up a technique slot.

How to use technique:

Focus of Reishi around the feet area and launch off into a single blurring step. It is not unlike teleportation in appearance, but it is simply extremely fast movement. It is often used to gain an edge in a single moment of combat or to dodge incoming attacks.

Gilded in the white uniform of the Vandenreich, Lucien Dantes sat in the rearmost line of pews at the back of the cathedral. He held his Quincy Cross in his hands, head bent forward in a silent prayer. He was here for battle, but despite that-- despite being in the very heart of the Vandenreich power, he was not praying for victory. His silent prayer was rather, that he would fight in a manner befitting the Emperor's faith in him. Lucien was assured of his victory. A quiet confidence. The Emperor was behind him and here he sat where the Emperor's power was strongest. No, he prayed that his performance would be deserving of a Vandenreich soldier. More importantly, he prayed for forgiveness for both himself and his adversary. By the very nature of his powers, the throne room was likely to take some damage during the fight, and Lucien hoped the Emperor would not perceive this with disrespect. Granted, others would probably have caused even more devastation-- individuals such as Amalia would likely have left nothing but a smouldering ruin.

Lucien's eyes raised up to the Emperor's throne at the far end of the room. That, however, was an exception, and under no circumstances would he allow the symbol of the Emperor's power to come to damage or devastation. Lucien finally finished his prayers and rose to his feet. The Vandenreich officer walked out from the pews, and, in a militaristic, soldier-like manner, advanced down to the end of the room, standing before the throne. Lucien kneeled respectfully, making the symbol of the Quincy Cross over his heart, and then turned about face to watch the room's entrance, as a proper protector.

In Lucien's hands a black bow was generated as the man prepared for the battle ahead. No arrows flew just yet. This would be a trial for Lucien. A battle in which he was not permitted to allow his opponent any mercy. He would do his duty. The Emperor's eyes were upon him now. A test of his faith and devotion to the Vandenreich, to the Almighty. I am ready now Shinigami. I am sorry for what I must do. I ask for your forgiveness, and hope the Emperor shall extend his own mercy on your soul. Your tale ends today.

What happened? Shawn thought in wonder as just moments before he was playing a game of chess with some squadmates. Taking stock of his surroundings allows him to understand where he is, right outside of the blasted Vandenreich Emperor’s throne room which just happens to resemble a grand cathedral. Didn’t we demolish this place a decade ago? Maybe I was sent here to give divine judgment on this world that clearly does not belong to mine?Thanks to his high natural senses he can smell the material of the emperor’s throne as well as hear and smell a single individual currently moving up to it.

Well, at least God has given me the chance to bring that throne to ruin myself, last time we did this i was fighting with some lower level vandenreich quincies while my captain and vice captain went to fight the emperor (it certainly helped that a force of Arrancar previously attacked), that was a sad day for squad 11, we lost our captain but brought down the emperor and his throne room, now the throne itself is put on display in the squad 11 barracks. that floated through his mind before he spoke, “Well, i guess it’s time to begin”, grabbing his zanpakuto over his shoulder on his back but keeping it in it’s sheath he continued, “Reach out, Kami no Te”. If you could see the transformation clearly you would witness a Jian blade grow 10 more inches while gaining 2cm holes down the center of the blade that are spaced out 2 inches from each other.
"Good luck master and may god allow you victory today"

Holding the sheathed sword he begins gathering Reiatsu into his sheath while surrounding and infusing into his blade. Moving forward he continues his hold on his sheathed zanpakuto and opens the door with his free hand, during the door open sequence he speaks in a loud voice “Im sorry for your choices in life that lead you astray, but fear not, i will begin tearing you down to build you back up”. Finishing his speech he will immediately focus on the ground under his opponent while lifting his palm to face the throne behind them. Jika Shite Ido he mentally commands causing the ground to violently repel Lucien 10 feet up into the air while simultaneously putting reiatsu into his open palm facing the throne and sends a giant fiery blast of energy the size of a car at the throne. He will prepare creating some nearly invisible threads to use but will wait to use it until after Lucien reacts.

{Zan Tech’s}

Zanpakuto Techniques:

Shikai:

Jika shite idō- Causes the ground under target to repel them upward 10 feet. Activation cost: 75 (can use in Bankai)

Limits: Will not work on someone or something in the air already.

Watashi kara gekitai- Expelling a large amount of reiatsu allows the redirection of ranged attacks, this will not change the direction of a weapon in the opponents hand unless it becomes a ranged attack/ Activation Cost: 150

Limits: This only works on class 8-4 based ranged attacks directed at the user and will not work on AoE anchored techniques.

Bankai:

Ugokanai de- After cutting the opponent, they began to feel as if their own reiatsu is pushing them down and leaving them unable to move ( This can be negated by activating a release)/ Activation Cost: 300 and 100 for every additional post

Limit and Drawbacks: User must land a cut to activate and is easy to power through if activating a release. This also wont work on someone who has a weak reiatsu strength and a high strength stat

Kazenoyōni mujūryoku- Allows the user to move as if he was in lower gravity thanks to the reiatsu exploding out of his body acting as a magnetic field increasing speed by 25%/ Activation Cost: 300 initial and 100 for every additional post

Limit and Drawbacks: Although speed is gained, it only affects movement and step technique speed and strength is lost by 25%, both percentages are taken before the Soul Specialist Version 1 boosts and applied after. Using this technique also causes stress on the muscles as they are capable of moving with less resistance and more speed, therefore the longer it's used, the more the muscles tear (this doesnt start until 4 total posts after activation)

Jika to zōfuku- This increases the impact of Kami no koe by 50% for 3 posts/ Activation Cost: 250

Limits and Drawbacks: Must speak the name to activate and having a 1 in mental incantation allows the user to mentally activate the trigger. Since only the impact strength is increased, the base strength is unaffected and allows for those with a stronger strength stat to win in feats of strength as long as the impact of Jika to zōfuku is avoided.

Watashi kara subete o gekitai suru- A more powerful version of Watashi kara gekitai and thus cost more to use/Activation Cost: 200

Limits: This only works on class 8-1 based ranged attacks directed at the user and will disperse anchored Aoe technique's.

The enemy had arrived. Lucien's eyes beheld the approaching Shinigami with a melancholy expression. Lucien's eyes were strange for one who was unfamiliar with the Vandenreich. There was no arrogance in them. He didn't look down on Shawn. There was a gentleness in his expression, along with an apparent sorrow. He did not look like a fighter, a killer or a soldier. Lucien was not looking forward to having to kill Shawn. He's young for a Shinigami. ....Very unfortunate. Lucien thought. The Shinigami's power seemed greatly lesser than Lucien's, but with his advanced Energy Sensory, Lucien could get a feel that the Shinigami's power seemed suppressed rather than simply weak. He was undoubtedly one of the Shinigami that increased in power greatly after releasing. And... with his own Energy Sensory, Lucien could see the twists and turns of Shawn's reiatsu as he prepared to unleash his weapon. More importantly, with such a high skill at Energy Sensory, Lucien could actually get an indication of what Shawn's release was capable of. Magnetic attraction? I see. So... in that case. Shawn was going to become stronger the longer their battle dragged on. That was fine to Lucien, as he would prefer a swift end to their conflict.

Unfortunately, Lucien missed his window to attack Shawn as he entered, as the Vandenreich abruptly doubled over in a coughing fit, just as Shawn began to release his Zanpakuto, but this subsided relatively quickly, and when Lucien's head rose back up, the melancholy look had vanished, replaced by a stern, hardened glare. The Shinigami offered his own condolences, and Lucien almost laughed. It seemed he too was unhappy with having to fight, but, like Lucien had a certain conviction that he would not abandon. "I'm sorry Shinigami. My name is Lucien Dantes, servant of his Holy Majesty the Emperor's Vandenreich. Normally I would ask for your surrender, in exchange for your life, but I'm afraid that is not an option afforded to me today. For what it is worth, I am sorry. I will try to make your end as quick and painless as I can. I would ask you not to resist, but I know that you will try. You have a strong conviction yourself, and I will give that conviction of yours its due credit. I truly wish you the best of luck Shinigami." He informed Shawn, and his words seemed truly genuine. Then the hardening of his eyes was complete, and there was no trace of sorrow or the gentleness that had been there when Shawn had entered. Lucien had now devoted himself to the cause and it was time to execute his assignment... And his target.

With his advanced energy sensing, it was easy to read the flow of Shawn's reiatsu as he attempted his attack, and see the flow of reiatsu pass through the ground at such speeds it was nearly instantaneous. It didn't matter to Lucien. Lucien rolled with the blast that launched him into the air, and saw Shawn launch a massive car-sized blast at the throne. Lucien's eyes narrowed. "No."

Lucien's arm raised in a flash, and his finger plucked the bowstring like a master harpist. His spirit fragment and cross both began to rapidly draw in the surrounding reiatsu to replenish his reserves, as the Captain-Supervisor simultaneously unleashed both his bow's firing property and its Power Property. Echo and Spirit Command. A bolt of light flashed down and struck Shawn's blast of reiatsu and the instant it struck the attack, Shawn would receive a nasty surprise, as the blast abruptly stopped in midair, not even halfway to the throne, before it abruptly reversed direction, as if bouncing off an invisible wall, and flying back the way it came! This was Lucien's Power Property-- Spirit Command. While normally the ability merely suppressed an attack, in instances that Lucien's base power (without using Blut or Output to boost his power) and the Class of his arrow vastly exceeded the target's, he could actually take command of reiatsu-based attacks and rebound them against their user!

Also, invisible to Shawn, was a single strange trail of Lucien's light blue reiatsu that snaked towards the ground, trailing behind the arrow he had shot. Only detectable by high Energy Sensory, it was the only way to discern Lucien's Firing Property was in use.

Now Lucien's counterattack emerged. Having rebounded Shawn's attack back at him, and giving the man something to think about, Lucien's fingers plucked his bowstring twice more, sending a pair of Class 3 arrows flashing down at Shawn's left, ensuring that if the man tried to avoid his own blast to the left, he would run headlong into Lucien's shots. A distraction though. Nothing more. Lucien's real objective, emerged as he used Advanced Air Ground to create a platform under his feet and vanished with a soft woosh sound, reappearing on Shawn's right hand side, ensuring that Shawn would not be able to avoid his attack left, or right. And as Lucien reappeared he had changed. Activating his Bow's Form property in mid-Hirenkyaku, now instead of the gentle-faced, white adorned Vandenreich that Shawn had met, a nightmarish, black armored figure stood there instead. And Lucien wasted no time launching his attack, as his right hand lashed out to seize Shawn by the neck, while his left hand opened up and plugged two more Class 3 arrows into Shawn's center of mass at point blank range, the arrows erupting from the armored palm of Lucien's hand. Shawn was trapped in a three way assault-- how did the man intend to respond?

{Spirit Command}
Spirit Command (Power Property): Many Quincy have a Mass Property. Lucien does not. Instead, Lucien has a second power property. With Vector granting Lucien command of the physical world around him, Spirit Command allows Lucien to take command of the spiritual world, ordering spiritual abilities themselves into submission. While using Spirit Command, Lucien's arrows are imbued with a unique ability to suppress reiatsu they come into contact with. While this property is active, any form of reiatsu that is struck-- whether it be a Cero, a Kido barrier, a reiatsu construct or the like, will have its Offensive Strength reduced by Lucien's Offensive Stat. If this amount is equal to or exceeds the attack, then the attack or defense dissipates and is suppressed. Superior class can weaken this ability. If for example, Lucien is trying to break down a Class two shield, using Class 3 arrows, the amount of reiatsu that is suppressed will be halved, and halved again for each level of Class difference between Lucien's arrow and the target attack (eg. Class 4 against Class 3 would be 50% efficiency, Class 4 against Class 2 would be 25% and Class 4 against Class 1 would be 12.5%, etc. etc.). This works in reverse as well, however. If Lucien's arrow possesses a 2 class advantage over his opponent's, and a superior spiritual Offensive Stat to his opponent, rather than simply suppressing the attack, Lucien is able to take command of it, and send it back against its user. This secondary effect does not work against reiatsu creations that are actually sentient. Spirit Command can only affect any individual source of reiatsu once, before that particular instance of a technique becomes immune to further attempts to suppress it. Spirit Command's suppression effect does not benefit from any techniques that boost the user's offensive strength except for Vollstandig-- though the arrows otherwise receive the normal benefits of the power increase

Shawn witnessed Lucien roll with his Jika Shite Ido as he sent his Concussive blast at the throne. He must have high energy sensory if he was able to react to Jika Shite Ido, hmmmm, gonna have to keep that in mind as I continue, the thought barely managed to go through his mind before he witnessed Lucien shot an arrow at his concussive blast before it instantly rebounds as if it hit a trampoline. Dang, looks like i’m not the only one with tricks, one thing for sure though, if he had to listen to a vandenreich talk about how the emperor is “god” then he would find a way to keep him from speaking. While contemplating his next move Lucien made his, anybody else would have had a hard time following his movement but with 400 senses and a 2 in battle analysis he easily keeps track of him and watches as he stops a couple feet to the right.

While moving, Lucien begins to change and that change is completed when he stops, he is now wearing what looks like black full plate armor. Concussive blast reached about halfway back to sender as Lucien landed into position. Luckily I have my own way of deflecting, as soon as Lucien landed and looked at Shawn he would notice a slight smirk as a large amount of reiatsu consistently expanded and retracted in quick succession, this in turn reacts with the reiatsu of the Concussive blast, Watashi Kara Gekitai. The Concussive blast would begin to turn towards the right of where Shawn is, this so happens to be where Lucien decided to stop trying to block Shawn in, at this moment he would also state "Bankai". The Shikai form remains but Shawn now wears a Pure white Kimono with a white shirt and shorts underneath.

Lucien clad in this black armor begins to reach for his neck, Not gonna happen, Hado #35: Raikou Kawa , with this command, lightning and electricity would shot from Shawn's free hand at Lucien causing minimal damage but possibly numbing him for 3 posts and stunning him for a few short seconds. During this time Shawn would also quickly flick his finger to cause a class 3 Advanced Air Arsenal: Air String with 500 durability to latch itself to his left leg. Still holding one end of the string he would immediately follow it up, Mentally saying Tsuzuri Raiden allowing the lightning to quickly travel to Lucien and hopefully surprising him and stopping him from launching the last two arrows.

In case Lucien continues with his other hand launching 2 more arrows at the center of Shawn’s mass he would quickly catch one of the arrows just before it lands useing class 2 Redirection to send back with the same hand at the second arrow. This would sear Shawn as the reiatsu went through his body and back out the same hand. Completing all of this might possibly allow Shawn a moment to assess the situation more but he won’t know until Lucien responds.

Shawn's counterattack wasn't bad. His tactics were fine. His strategy on the other hand, was mistaken. Ideally it would have been better for him to try to stall out Lucien until his full power unleashed. He had instead chosen to stand and fight. Admirable. But mistaken. Lucien admired Shawn's steadfast determination to fight him. It spoke well of his character. Unyielding. Defiant to the end. And Lucien would see to it that he had a noble and glorious end, fitting for that burning spirit.

Shawn had deployed a number of threats to Lucien which needed to be attended to. First, the redirected Concussive Blast. Secondly, the blast of lightning aimed at Lucien's chest. Third, the Tsuzuri Raiden. Not necessarily in that order. The Tsuzuri Raiden was of no real threat to Lucien though. While his form property was deceptive in its defensive capabilities-- being far less of a defense than one might initially assume, it was a capable enough defense that it would insulate Lucien from the Tsuzuri Raiden that surged through his leg, and igniting the armor in a crackling halo of electricity. That left the Concussive blast and Shawn's Raiko Kawa. The Raiko Kawa would reach Lucien first, and would be the first attack dealt with.

Unfortunately for Shawn he had aimed his attack straight at Lucien's torso, which, unbenownst to Shawn, was the third point of his Form property that Lucien was capable of firing his arrows from, and an arrow flashed out to intercept the crackling shock, striking it and both arrow and lightning promptly disappeared into the air as if they were never there. More unfortunately for Shawn this also meant that Lucien's attempt at grabbing his neck would go unimpeded. There was only a split second Shawn would have to react, before a black steel gauntlet clamped shut around Shawn's neck, seizing his neck in a death grip, and Lucien squeezed tightly and then wrenched Shawn's neck sideways, trying to crush the neck, windpipe and blood vessels all at once. Lucien simultaneously pulled on the neck to drag Shawn in front of him to use Shawn as a human shield against the redirected Concussive Blast.

---

If Shawn was able to somehow defend against this, and release his Bankai however, Lucien wouldn't stop there. If by some miracle, Shawn was able to shift back out of the way of Lucien's grab, then a Class 3 arrow would explode out of Lucien's hand at Shawn's face at point blank range, intending to punch a hole directly through his forehead. Lucien would fire a second similarly classed arrow at the Concussive Blast not aiming to continue this game of catch, but instead simply to disperse the blast into nothing and remove it from the equation. Now things were going to get violent. Shawn had released his Bankai but still had Lucien within arms reach of him. Even though Shawn had tried to bind Lucien's leg he lacked the physical ability to keep Lucien bound in place. So Lucien kept pouring on the pressure.

The first thing that would happen is that behind Lucien's visor, a golden gleam suddenly lit up as his eyes blazed with light. Lucien had unleashed his Heart Property. The knowledge of the Emperor flowed through Lucien's mind, his muscles remembering movements they had never performed, and his body moved automatically, with the ease and mastery of the Muay Thai fighting style. Lucien's fighting technique sharpened instantly, and his left hand snapped forward into a lightning fast jab at Shawn's head. With the gap in their strength, Lucien's blow was likely to pulverize Shawn's skull if it connected, even as a jab, and if not deciding the battle immediately would leave Shawn with a significant head injury. But Lucien wanted to end this decisively, and he threw an immediate follow-up with a deadly Muay Thai elbow strike to Shawn's chest, caving it in completely, and ultimately finished with a Muay Thai low kick right into Shawn's left ankle to crush the man's mobility. Draw Shawn's attention on dodging lethal hits, and then cripple him to set him up for a finisher. Hurting Shawn wasn't in Lucien's preference and he would prefer that Shawn be brought down by his jab-elbow combination, but if Shawn proved too elusive, the battle could drag on longer than he'd prefer. If Shawn's mobility was crippled through a broken ankle, then he wouldn't be nearly as evasive.

At the same time that Lucien activated his Heart Property though, he activated a second technique. This technique was one known as Distortion Sakkaku: Ripple, a technique with two variants, of which Lucien was activating the first. Almost instantly, what felt like water suddenly gushed up from the floor of the chamber from no particular gap in particular, rising to about two feet deep. The water was discomforting and would slow movement speed through it to an extent, but that wasn't why Lucien had used it. Lucien was using it to lock Shawn in. One of the benefits of Distortion Sakkaku was that as long as a target was in the water, they would be unable to use Step Techniques. Lucien was fairly certain he was faster and stronger than Shawn, so a step technique like Shunpo would be his only means of escape. Distortion Sakkaku would take that away from him, leaving him locked in close range combat with the Vandenreich Captain-Supervisor. In addition, Lucien was using Distortion Sakkaku's secondary property. As Lucien's blows flashed out at Shawn, his body rippled as if in a mirage, his limbs and form stretching, shortening, wavering and elongating in a dizzying and confusing display, making accurately tracking his motions difficult.

And just for good measure, while Shawn was focused on dodging Lucien's attacks, Lucien would add a final two arrows would shoot from behind Shawn. His previous two arrows that had been aimed to Shawn's left had left their trails which he could fire from. And with Shawn focused on dodging Lucien's punches and kicks, it was unlikely he'd be watching his back-- literally. Two Class 5 arrows flashed out from the firing lanes directly behind Shawn to shoot him in the lower back, at an angle that if Shawn dodged they'd flick past Lucien harmlessly without hitting the Vandenreich, due to the angle Lucien had been standing at. Lucien had originally used his step technique to come down to Shawn's back and right, the arrows shooting at Shawn from what had previously been his left would be able to target Shawn without hitting Lucien.

Nothing but the redirect worked? Seriously? I can't believe I underestimated a quincy, Grin would have Wracked my neck if he was around, with that thought he could only react to the oncoming hand reaching for his throat. Thankfully he did still manage to activate Bankai, if he didn't he would be whistling a completely different tune at the moment. With only a moment to spare he quickly cast Bakudo #81: Danku (Splitting Void) with his mental incantation causing a clear and very high and wide barrier made from reiatsu to appear in front of him stopping the hand from reaching any further and as Lucien was about to send an arrow through it at him he used Jika shite idō to send him rushing 10 feet up into the air at 600 speed.

Master, I have a suggestion if you would kindly listen came the soft voice of his Zanpakuto spirit, Of course Kami no te, I would be a fool not to he mentally responded. If you used my power you could probably get behind him and hopefully land a blow, Kami no te was rarely wrong and Shawn knew he didn't have many options I agree and I believe that would probably be the safest option, agreeing was easy, now it was time to actually do what he said. Usiing Kami no te's power he state's the words Kazenoyōni mujūryoku in his mind, if Lucien was looking at him at the moment he would see reiatsu explode from him and surround him. He will then use air ground to Shunpo behind Lucien at 4,375 speed. While in the middle of shunpo he could feel his reiatsu begin to release and return to it's natural amount.

While behind Lucien, Shawn will finally use the Entei(Dam) he has been saving as well as add a Shindōyoku (Vibrating Blade) while he quickly unsheathes his zanpakuto and attack in one fluid motion. During this 1040 RS attack he will aim for the area between the neck and shoulder, if this attack lands he will leave the blade in and activate Ugokanai de causing Lucien's own RS to push him to the ground and weigh him down. Finally, after all of this Shawn would feel a wall break inside of him and his RS would rush back to full force, he understands now that he is basically at full fighting power.

In case his attack fails he will not use Ugokanai de and will instead shunpo again away from Lucien and land in front of the throne facing Lucien. Landing there he will then feel his wall break and feel the RS flow back into him. Lucien with his high ES would notice this and Shawn would immediately try sending another Concussive Blast at the throne, with his high senses he wouldn't need to look at it to aim the shot and instead can focus on touching his white kimono with the hand holding his zanpakuto casting Bakudo #55: Mutsohoyo and sealing Bakudo #81: Danku (Splitting Void) into it. Now he just has to wait to see how Lucien reacts to this attack at the emperor's throne.

Splitting Void, huh? The defense was successful in stopping Lucien's grab attempt. The barrier however, was a high enough class that Lucien was not able to convert it, but was still dispelled by the arrow in question all the same, due to the gap in their spiritual power. Seeing his Shinigami opponent launch himself airborne, Lucien prepared his counterattack. Shawn was an evasive one, and that was troubling. In that case I will have to defeat him when he is on the offensive. He can't commit to an attack and defend simultaneously. Lucien considered. Not that he wanted to let up though. Keeping pressure on Shawn was going to cause him to make a desperate move. As such Lucien fired a pair of Class 3 arrows directly up at Shawn as he readied his next move and dispersed Distortion Sakkaku: Ripple. If Shawn was airborne, then the water wouldn't impede him at all.

Shawn was preparing for something though, and Lucien had to ready his counter. The amount of reiatsu that poured off of Shawn was blinding as his power began to restore. Perfect. If his power was coming back it was time for Shawn to mount an offense. Nobody made a display like that just for defense. On top of that, thanks to his Energy Sensory being high enough to read the details of Shawn's release, Lucien had an idea of what Shawn was doing. He was lowering his personal gravity, which would probably mean he'd be coming in quicker. Here he comes. And then Shawn disappeared into his step technique, moving faster than Lucien's eyes could follow. But Lucien didn't need to follow him with his eyes.

Shawn was successful in landing behind Lucien. Due to Lucien's position previously, this meant that, although at a diagonal angle, Lucien's back was to a line of pews. This was about to become important. Between Lucien's instincts, senses and energy sensing skills, reading Shawn's location relative to him, even without the use of his vision, was not difficult at all. As Shawn moved to unsheath his Zanpakuto, Lucien counterattacked by launching a full 10x speed Hirenkyaku.... backwards. Accelerating to a speed of 4000 while Shawn was in mid-strike and at point blank range there would be almost no time for evasion, crashing into Shawn at full speed with Lucien's full strength behind it. Shawn was looking at several fractured bones in his torso, and probably a broken arm (due to the arm likely being held across his body while drawing his sword, and therefore the first point of impact from Lucien's attack) from this unorthodox ramming tactic at a bare minimum, and that was before the two of them hit the pews behind him. The pews didn't stand a chance, Lucien smashing through the furniture with the kind of strength only an individual with his level of strength could manage. All in all, Shawn was going to bear the brunt of being slammed through three sets of pews by Lucien before the fourth set stopped their acceleration, inflicting a great deal more damage to him. Lucien, given his physical strength and his armor, on the other hand, would be completely fine and unharmed.

This would cause major issues for Shawn continuing his attack sequence, most notably, that he would probably be dealing with several broken bones, and a number of internal injuries by the time they stopped. It was possible that Shawn would be dealing with injury to his spine as well.

More importantly, Lucien's hand was pressed against the pews, and it was in this moment, that the Vandenreich dropped his Power Property, in exchange for activating his Soul Property. "I am sorry Shinigami-- I don't believe I was given your name. My nameless foe, allow me to award your conviction with a magnificent end. I pray you shall try to strike me down even with your last breath, as befitting a member of your order." He informed Shawn as his hand touched the pew, and Lucien used this to launch himself off the pew, as he activated his Soul Property. Lucien spun in mid-air, deactivating his Form Property to look Shawn in the eyes as he delivered what he believed to be the killing blow, his bow in-hand once more. To Shawn's eyes, without Energy Sensory, Lucien was likely pushing away simply to prepare another attack, which was.... accurate to a degree. But as with Lucien, it was never so straightforward and Lucien dropping his form property to create the bow, was yet another diversion and distraction to draw Shawn's attention away.

Approximately four square feet of the pew immediately behind Shawn dissipated in a glowing, soft blue reiatsu as it was instantly converted into three Class 2 Quincy Arrows right behind him, and shrieked forwards to pierce Shawn's back, immediately before exploding in a three separate tremendous blasts to finish the Shinigami off, scattering the remains of the nearby pews across the room, though none reaching as far as the throne of the Emperor itself.

It was certainly possible for Shawn to launch a counter-attack against Lucien during all of this, but actually avoiding damage this time would prove incredibly daunting, considering the speed of Lucien's Hirenkyaku, the distance between the two, as well as Shawn himself being mid-way through an attack at Lucien, and having just emerged from a Shunpo himself. Lucien wasn't putting Shawn out of the running just yet, despite his words-- though Lucien suspected that this attack would defeat and likely kill the Shinigami, he was ever vigilant, and knew that a dying opponent was often the one that would produce the most dangerous attack.

If most others were in Shawn shoes at the moment what has about to transpire would almost perfectly work for Lucien, however just as Shawn had underestimated this Quincy, Lucien was underestimating this Shinigami. Landing behind Lucien Shawn dropped his Kazenoyōni mujūryoku as he knew it only helps with movement speed and the upkeep at this moment would have been to great. Sadly as Shawn was drawing his Zanpakuto out of the sheath on his back over his shoulder he didn't get to use Entei (Dam) or any of the other following techniques he was planning. Thanks to his 400 Senses and his 200 Instinct the miniscule muscle and tendon movements allowed Shawn to realize that Lucien was about to counter him, Hard.

The moment Shawn realized this his plan changed in an instant to defend himself, purely on reaction Push was spoken in his mind as he was staring dead at Lucien's back. Without knowing what happened Lucien would be thrown forward from Shawn's Zanpakuto at 400 Speed for 30 feet before he would feel the push leave him. During the time Lucien is being pushed Shawn would do two things before he would shunpo over to the emperor's throne and look at Lucien hoping this stops Lucien dead in his tracks if even for a moment.

The first thing he does as Lucien begins to be pushed forward is point his left hand (the hand that is not currently holding Kami no Koe) at lucien while focusing intently on him and begin quickly speaking an incantation, one he has spoken many times and learned how to speak it without fail and rapidly. "Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six!" and finishing in his mind Bakudo #61: Rikujokoro (Six Rods Prison of Light), with this he will watch as six thin, wide beams of light slam into Lucien's midsection from all sides. If this succeeds Lucien will find that he is paralyzed by the stronger then normal (1750) Rikujokoro and held in place.

The second thing he does after finishing that bakudo is quickly touch the cross that is part of his necklace and mentally using Bakudo #55: Mutsohoyo (Painless Embrace) he silently seals Bakudo #81: Danku (Splitting Void) into it. Completing this he will then as planned shunpo over to the throne and look at Lucien while standing in front of it. If Lucien is caught in the Rikujokoro then Shawn while look at him and silently stare at him for a moment with a solemn look in his eyes. If Lucien somehow managed to avoid the Rikujokoro while being pushed forward Shawn will look at him as he finally reaches the end of the Push around 30 feet from where Lucien originally stood.

If Lucien did manage to avoid the Rikujokoro Shawn would wait and see what he might attempt to do before deciding how to respond. If the Rikujokoro succeeded then after solemnly staring at Lucien for a moment he will then point his left hands index finger at Lucien's head before mentally casting Hado #4: Byakurai (Pale Lightning) in order to pierce Lucien's skull and end him with a brain shot before he can suffer. Completing this attack and if successful he will walk over to Lucien's body that is still hanging in place and make sure there is no more breath before releasing the technique and catching him, gently laying him to the ground and offering his finally words. "May God show you mercy and judge the one who poisoned your mind", with this he would then turn his attention to the throne and begin doing everything he can possibly do to break it to pieces.

If the Byakuri didn't finish the job he would use it again and again until it finally finished its purpose, after which he would then continue on the same as if it succeeded the first time. As with all things in the world nothing is set in stone and the possibility of this failing and Lucien being mostly unscathed is still there if he found a way to avoid being caught. If that is the case as stated previously Shawn will just have to wait and see what Lucien does before he can react.

Shawn's defense was strong, but one that Lucien anticipated and saw coming. The only thing that had caught the Vandenreich offguard was the surge of power. By his earlier analysis and breakdown of Shawn's Zanpakuto abilities it had not been difficult for Lucien to predict that a Zanpakuto specializing in magnetism would have some manner of repulsion ability. Although the potency had been greater than Lucien's expectations, the Captain-Supervisor was already adapting. Those that do not adapt are destroyed. Had Lucien fully completed his previous attack, he may have needed to raise his bow, but fortunately for the Vandenreich, Shawn's interruption of his attack sequence had enabled Lucien to keep his Form Property (meaning that the reiatsu for his Soul Property's release as the Class 2 arrows had never actually been spent). That was about to become very important.

As Shawn uttered the incantation for his kido and unleashed Rikujokoro, Lucien's reiatsu surged again. Just as Shawn's reiatsu had spiked as he had come into his own, Lucien's power had also suddenly exploded to immense levels of power, and the soldier answered Shawn's kido spell with a a bolt of light that lanced from his chest and flew straight at the Shinigami. A Class 3 arrow. Unusually for Lucien's previous attacks, this one appeared to be headed straight at Shawn as though he did not care that the throne was right behind the Shinigami and that any evasion on Shawn's part would see the arrow pierce the throne of the Emperor himself. It seemed completely out of character that a member of the Vandenreich would do such a thing. The moment after, six rods of light crashed into Lucien, seemingly locking the Vandenreich in place. Of course, even with the Rikujokoro spell, with Lucien's sudden spike of power it would not be long before Lucien broke out of the Bakudo spell. But Shawn would first have to address the attack Lucien had sent his way.

The arrow sliced through the air straight at Shawn. There was ample space for Shawn to avoid the attack even without having to resort to a step technique, albeit the dodge would be narrow. If Shawn opted not to use a step technique to launch himself clear of the arrow however, he would face dire consequences.

As the arrow flashed within a few feet of Shawn, suddenly a black armored figure exploded out of the ground, an uppercut crashing into Shawn's nearest leg with Lucien's left arm, followed immediately by a hook to Shawn's torso with martial precision. Shawn had been able to defend against Lucien's earlier attacks with spacing and anticipation, but with Lucien suddenly appearing at point blank range, already halfway through his attack, even with a Step Technique it was unlikely Shawn would escape unscathed. As for the arrow? It simply disappeared as quickly as the armored man had appeared and it was in this moment, that perhaps Shawn would understand why Lucien had tolerated launching an arrow in the direction of his Majesty's throne.

It may have been an affront to attack the throne but it was no crime to transport oneself before it.

But... Shawn had seen Lucien be struck by the Rikujokoro attack, and indeed, if somehow Shawn's eyes were still on the figure pinned by the attack, he was still there. As if there were two Luciens. Upon a closer inspection though, it would become readily apparent that the six rods of light had actually embedded themselves in the figure. As if the figure standing there were nothing more than a figment. In which case it was the armored figure in front of Shawn that was the real Lucien.

If Lucien's punch connected, Shawn's leg and ribs would almost certainly be broken by the armored fist crashing against him. And the blow wouldn't end there. As Lucien's fist collided with Shawn's ribs, there'd be a small but powerful explosion of light, as Lucien created a Class 7 arrow, and detonated it on contact. As Lucien's armored form could shoot arrows from his fists, it was entirely feasible for him to mix shooting his arrows into hand to hand combat this easily. A simple task to detonate it as soon as it was formed. Lucien's gauntlets would protect his hands, but Shawn would be enduring the Class 6, 2400 strength blast at point blank range, ensuring that while Lucien's fist may have broken Shawn's ribs, the blast would likely tear a considerable chunk out of his side. More importantly, Shawn would be hurled sideways by the combined force of the punch and explosion and sent crashing through towards a nearby wall by this assault, possibly breaking through the wall entirely and thrown into the streets of the Sillbern. If, by some chance, Shawn dodged the punch, Lucien would reorient his fist and try to shoot the arrow after Shawn, without detonating it until it reached a close enough range.

"I have seen in the past that you Shinigami often favor swords. Is yours just for show?" Lucien inquired, as in his hand, a sword of jet black obsidian formed. It also was in the same form as Shawn's Jian. The Vandenreich slashed it through the air with some rough skill, but it was evident at a glance that Lucien had no formal training in the art of swordsmanship. Nothing more than combat experience, his strength and speed and perhaps having third hand experience of watching others fight with blades. Having chosen the form of the Shinigami's sword it was almost as if Lucien was mocking Shawn, by wielding his own weapon with such rough and rudimentary skill against him. "If you like we can end this in the fashion you Shinigami prefer, compared to my Quincy arts."

If Shawn showed signs of acquiescing, then Lucien would disable his Form Property, as he prepared for the next round. A life or death sword fight between them. In its place he would activate his Soul Property, his body radiating with reiatsu, the Emperor's power coating Lucien's blade and strengthening it. Granting it the properties of one of Lucien's own arrows, and giving it the power to clash with a Shinigami's Bankai without shattering. Then Lucien suddenly lunged forwards at Shawn. No fancy step techniques, or flying arrows. A direct assault with a blade, as Lucien threw a wide, horizontal cut from right to left at the man's midsection. Too low to duck, too high to jump over. If Shawn backstepped, this would be followed by a second attack, a diagonal, chopping cut from left to right. Rough and telegraphed, but possessing greater speed and strength than Shawn himself. Would Shawn accept the gauntlet that Lucien had thrown down and battle the Vandenreich blade to blade?

Technique Name: Dia-Aufnahme (Slide-Shot)]

Class: 5

Technique Type: Quincy Tech

Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): Quincy

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect): This technique is made utilizing The vandereich shadow tech in conjunction with a quincy's bow. The technique begins by the quincy charging an arrow, feeding a high ammount of reiatsu as they form a seal within the arrow itself, the seal of his majesty. After firing the arrow, the quincy vanishes, and is sealed into the arrow's shadow. After the arow is fired, the quincy can activate the seal, emerging from the arrow's shadow and reloading the arrow into their bow before firing again. This technique also modifies the nature of the arrow, by modifying the arrow the Quincy can have the arrow mimic their stealth skill up to 1 point.

How to use technique (How is it activated?): See above

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc) This technique itself costs nothing, but adds a Cost of up to 100 reiatsu, plus the base cost of firing, to the arrow itself for full effect. And while the user cannot be seen during their time in the arrow's shadow, if the arrow is destroyed prematurely, they are immediately ejected and briefly disoriented, keeping them from immediately attacking (though they are still capable of defending if immediately attacked). The stealth aspect of the arrow comes at an extra cost of 50 reiatsu, bringing the total cost to 150+ the Arrow's firing cost.

After silently sealing Bakudo #81 into Bakudo #55 and using shunpo to arrive in front of the throne Shawn notices something peculiar, Lucien sends an arrow from his chest directly at Shawn who is currently in front of the throne. This wouldn’t have mattered except as the Rikujokoro slams into Lucien something seems off and whatever it was is subtle enough where even Shawn had a hard time picking up on it. With alarm bells going off in his head Shawn decides shunpo is his best bet as he remembers Vandenriech has a nasty ability to detonate their own arrows and so he decides to shunpo 15 feet to the left giving ample space for that arrow to do what it wants.

Imagine Shawns surprise when the arrow that was launched did not explode but instead turned into Lucien the vandenriech currently being held by his Rikujokoro. The moment Lucien “materialized” he sent not one but two arrows at Shawn. Thanks to the shunpo however he does have just enough time to shunpo one additional time to be ten feet behind Lucien, in fact he would be almost in between him and the fake. “Neat trick, I didn’t think a vandenriech could possibly be so imaginative.” Shawn would say this in a slightly sarcastic way before Lucien would then taunt him. “Oh, I see your master taught you how to speak, very well, I accept your challenge.”

Lifting his blade up to about chest level Shawn prepares to be attacked, as Lucien charges in after dropping his form property and makes a simple horizontal slash attack coming from right to left. When Lucien comes within striking distance with his attack Shawn will do something unexpected, he will take a step forward using his Jian sword to block the incoming slash while using his left hand to quickly strike at the center of the bicep of the arm that is currently holding the obsidian Jian sword. If he lands this strike then Lucien will not only feel a good amount of pain but will also find his hand becoming slightly paralyzed and specifically losing his grip. Regardless of if he manages to land this strike Shawn will follow it up as long as he manages to block the attack against him and doesn’t see Lucien moving to counter attack. Thankfully being so close to Lucien would make it easier to block successfully as well as jabbing his sword that is currently facing the ground downward into Luciens right leg just above the knee before quickly palm striking him in the forehead. If he lands this strike Shawn would Quickly Mentally cast Bakudo #55: Mutsohoyo (Painless Embrace) and seal Bakudo #64: Tousei Takai (Intoxication High) into his forehead (This will give 150 Reiatsu to Lucien) before jumping backwards pulling his blade out of Luciens Leg. The moment he begins backing away he will activate Bakudo #64.

If he fails at the stab to the leg Shawn will continue his forehead strike with Lucien, however if he senses any movement to counter attack before he stabs Luciens leg or before he strikes his forehead then Shawn would leap backwards with his sword about 10 feet to safety. He is only able to manage this jump because another wall breaks in his mind allowing him to use his full Strength and even his Senses seem to have increased.

Lucien sighed. "Though it will no longer benefit you to know, you would have done well not to underestimate us. Much can be gained by understanding your enemy." Lucien informed Shawn. "Perhaps you may even have avoided your fate." Shawn had avoided his attacks, but Lucien was drawing the Shinigami deeper and deeper into his web. A good thing too, as Lucien began to reach the limits that he could keep his illness at bay. Still. While Lucien liked to resolve a battle quickly, he doubted Shawn would fall to his next moves-- though if he did, so much the better. As it was written in historical combat manuals; one should always endeavor to strike killing blows. An opponent forced to defend will eventually falter and his defense will fail. If this happened to Shawn, it was unfortunate, but Lucien would take such a win if it presented itself. The sooner the battle ended the better.

As Shawn stepped in, Lucien changed the nature of his Heart Property. He felt the knowledge of his Muay Thai technique leaving him. In its place was a complete understanding of the weapon he wielded; the Jian, information flooding into his mind as if downloaded off of a hard drive. Lucien instinctively understood the weapon in his hands, and understood intrinsically how best to use it. The Mastery of Self. The Weapon Master. His golden eyes gleamed, and as Shawn attempted to drive his blow home, Lucien drew his arm back in a sharp and sudden movement, his wrist turning such that the blade faced downwards, and crashed against Shawn's blade with a resounding force, that might have caused Shawn's blow to be forced back due to Lucien's greater strength. His blade was not undamaged however, and fragments of obsidian flew from the weapon into the air, flying past Shawn, some minor scraps of it possibly striking and embedding in his Shinigami robes, harmlessly. Somewhat less harmlessly, however, would be that Shawn would witness fractures appear in his Bankai's blade. With 2400 Spirit Pressure, and a Class 1 sword, fragile as the obsidian blade was, Lucien possessed sufficient power to actually damage Shawn's Bankai as much as his own weapon. Right now the damage was lesser than the damage to Lucien's blade, but it was certainly there. Shawn followed the strike up with a thrust to Lucien's leg. Lucien stepped back, and followed his parry with a low cut to strike the stab aside, leveraging his superior strength and speed to Shawn. Shawn seemed about to lunge into a palm strike at Lucien's forehead, but, seeing the Vandenreich's new display of skill with the blade, seemed to consider a different approach, instead leaping back from Lucien. I'm sorry, but that is naive of you, to think I will give you time to breathe, when I myself do not.

Lucien exploded into movement after Shawn, closing the ten foot distance in an instant. Before Shawn would even have a chance to land and get into stance, Lucien slashed out with a cut through Shawn's right shoulder, straight down to the Shinigami's left hip. In mid-leap evasion was functionally impossible. Shawn's only recourse would be to try to block the blow-- but with Lucien's strength, even this attempt would likely drive Shawn further back, slamming the Shinigami into the wall behind him. Lucien rained down blows at Shawn in a blistering offense, intending to keep the Shinigami pinned to the wall, and entirely on the defensive. The Quincy's sword was a black blur of continuous motion, and Shawn's arms would be aching, fatigued, sore and bruised in no time just from parrying Lucien's attacks due to the Quincy's superior strength, all the Shinigami's concentration focused on keeping up with Lucien's superior speed. It was quite likely that if he was forced to endure this barrage of blows for more than a few moments, his own Bankai's blade would be driven back into him at several occasions and that Lucien's weapon might nick and cut into him even through his blocks, however shallowly. If Shawn attempted to block and parry this brutal onslaught, he'd find both of their blades chipping, cracking and splintering with the blows, obsidian and spiritual steel fragments alike, bursting out in showers around the two.

At their position in the throne room, where Shawn had been so near the throne moments ago, there would not be much space left for Shawn to escape to his right (Lucien's left), but if Shawn attempted to escape to his left (Lucien's right, Lucien would immediately step in at an angle to keep him cornered, while allowing Shawn a split second of breathing room should he try to slide off towards his right. Even a novice at Battle Analysis would see Lucien's aim. He was aiming to drive Shawn into the corner of the room, where Shawn would be well and truly trapped. Lucien was coming at Shawn from a myriad of angles, but there were points he was not going for. He had not, for instance, made many low-cuts in his barrage, that Shawn might have been able to leap over and in doing so, slipped out of the web that Lucien was casting. He also had not made many vertical cuts, sticking mostly to horizontal and diagonal slices, further emphasizing Lucien's intent. He was going to pressure Shawn until Shawn's defense collapsed. If Shawn could never strike back against Lucien, then his defense would give out eventually. If Shawn wanted to stand a chance at defeating the Vandenreich in a sword fight, he'd first need to find a way to interrupt Lucien's onslaught of attacks-- a difficult prospect as each blow Lucien struck left him in a position to initiate another, each strike seamlessly moving from one to the other in a deadly flow of movement.

It was possible that Shawn might somehow have prevented Lucien from slamming him into the wall with the initial strike as he leaped back. If so, Lucien would still attempt his furious barrage of blows, but in such an instance, without the stone wall of the cathedral at his back, Shawn would at least have room to move to try and circle or evade Lucien's blows by moving back from him-- though he would still ultimately have to find a way to break Lucien's aggressive rhythm if he wanted to retake the initiative of the battle.

Realizing his attacks were failing, Shawn jumps backwards about ten feet keeping his sword in front of him. Holding his eyes on Lucien he notices a slight change in Lucien's demeanor, as if he was looking down on the Shinigami in front of him, as if he was looking down on all Shinigami. This irked Shawn, He still underestimates me! I only fight the way I do because my abilities allow me to react and defend! He will see the full power of you Kami no Koe. Trying to remain calm, in that instant he laid out a plan in his mind, readying his response, that's the moment Lucien moved forward at speed that would leave most people wondering where they went.

Watching Lucien close the distance between them, Shawn begins reading himself, flipping his Zanpakuto in his hand to face the hilt forward and the blade backwards. Waiting for the optimal time to strike out with his ability, he watches Lucien move in front of him. If Lucien were to continue with his attack, Shawn would create a solid surface using advanced air ground, before focusing on the damaged obsidian blade that managed to chip Kami no Koe, this blade that was now aiming diagonally down at Shawn’s right shoulder, as if he planned to cut him in half. Although I may not be the violent type master, I ask if you can make him understand the mistake he made becoming a vandenriech and eventually challenging and looking down on us both. Hearing Kami no Koe’s wishes Shawn would respond out loud “I wouldn’t have it any other way” before speaking the command in his mind, Repel.

Lucien would find at this time his blade would begin to move straight up and backwards, this also happens to be the straightest path directly away from Kami no Koe. This is the same moment Shawn would push himself forward, thrusting the hilt or pommel forward into the middle of Lucien’s chest. If this attack were to land, Lucien would feel the full force of Shawn’s 150 Strength attack, it wouldn’t end there however. The moment connection is made a shockwave would blast through the middle of Lucien’s chest, formed by and carrying Shawn’s full 1400 Reiatsu Strength.

If this succeeded Shawn would catch Lucien in a net made from his class 4 advanced air arsenal: air strings, looking down at him Shawn would speak in a sad tone, “You may have believed I underestimated you, but the truth is I was ready to deal with almost anything you could throw at me. It’s a shame you follow a false god, one who believes himself to be the strongest but is nowhere near, but may the true God have mercy on your soul, as I do not believe you to be evil, just made the wrong choice at the wrong time.” Finishing his speech he would turn his attention to the throne of the emperor, “And now it is time for the False god to fall into his place.” Ending these words, Shawn would fire a full 1400 RS powered Concussive Blast at the throne, watching as the car sized fireball made from reiatsu probably utterly demolishes what most vandenriech believe to be a holy item.

If Shawn were to fail on his attack, his first action would be to shunpo back to the middle of the room, turning to keep his eye on Lucien. Speaking up as Lucien collects himself, “You don’t seem to grasp what Shinigami prize themselves in, you said earlier you wanted to see the swordsmanship that Shinigami have pride in. I will say you are half right, the issue is while Shinigami tend to learn and possibly master at least one form of martial art or weapon art, they don’t pride themselves in that particularly. No, what they put most of their pride in is the partner they hold, the one who stays with them and fights with them even in the hardest of battles. The partner that allows them to harness different powers for each individual Shinigami. That is what most Shinigami have pride in, thus why when they fight, they don’t fight to show their skills alone, but to show the power of their Zanpakuto as well! Therefore don’t expect me not to lean on Kami no Koe when I am in trouble, after all, this battle isn’t just between you and me, it’s you against me and Kami no Koe!”

Finishing his speech he would then shunpo again to land in front of Lucien, Lucien would then notice reiatsu flowing into Shawns right arm, the arm that holds his weapon specifically. This would be followed by Shawn thrusting Kami no Koe at Lucien with a speed of 700, this process would be repeated about fifty times or until he forced himself to stop, never slowing down until he finished. When he stopped, either by finishing the fifty thrust or using shunpo backwards to avoid an attack by Lucien, Shawn would say out loud “Ugokanai de”. The moment he spoke these words Lucien would notice and feel his own reiatsu begin to bear down on him, even forcing himself to the ground unable to move.

Shawn's repulsion was successful, but unfortunately Lucien was able to read his target. Between Lucien's Battle Analysis and Energy Sensory, he was able to anticipate Shawn's repulsion attack. Shawn wasn't wrong to say that Lucien had underestimated him, but not in the manner he had perhaps expected-- Lucien had merely underestimated the power of his repulsion, expecting Blut to be able to simply overwhelm it. Clearly he was mistaken, but it wouldn't be enough. Lucien's arm initially tried to resist, but Lucien then released his sword and allowed the weapon to fly away from him, whirling behind him. Shawn launched his attack with the hilt, and this would be his first error. Striking with the hilt may have worked as a follow-up strike, but as an initial blow, all it did was bring Shawn into the range of Lucien's body. As Shawn threw his hilt strike at Lucien's torso, the Vandenreich answered by shoving his arm between Shawn's target and his chest. The hilt of Shawn's blade crashed into Lucien's forearm, the arm absorbing the brunt of the 150 Impact Force. As far as the shockwave went, rather than forcing Lucien back as Shawn had hoped, it instead blew Lucien's arm aside, though between Lucien's superior physical strength as well as his superior Spirit Pressure, the damage was reduced. Even so, the blast couldn't be completely absorbed, and a brutal crunch was audible as the blow broke the Vandenreich's arm. Lucien used his Heart Property to replace his sword skills once again, this time, with American Kickboxing, and threw a counterblow. Shawn had gotten too close in order to land a blow with the hilt of his sword, and Lucien snapped up a fast and devastating roundhouse kick into Shawn's upper thigh. Of course, Shawn was prepared for this possibility and Shunpo'd away again to avoid his kick, allowing Lucien to plant his foot on the ground instead, raising his arms in a kickboxing guard.

"It's a shame indeed. If you'd tried to slash with the blade itself, you might have taken my arm. Ultimately... it changes nothing." Presumably this implied that Shawn had not fired his Concussive Blast at the throne, as Lucien had not been driven back into his Advanced Air Strings. Though even if he had... it ultimately would not have changed much. Indeed, even if Shawn's tactic succeeded in full, it was too late. Lucien had already laid the groundwork. Shawn was a cunning opponent, and far more challenging than Lucien had anticipated. But he had lost this battle from the moment he had accepted Lucien's challenge. From the moment his Bankai had struck Lucien's obsidian blade, the bout had been decided.

Though perhaps it wasn't fair to say his Bankai had clashed with an obsidian blade, so much as it had clashed against an obsidian arrow. An arrow that had cracked and splintered against the blow, and the obsidian shards of which were now clinging to his Shinigami robes following the impact. Before Shawn could initiate his Shunpo to begin his second assault, Lucien simply did what was the nature of any Vandenreich arrow. He detonated it.

From the shards that coated Shawn's body, and the sword that had been flung in a corner a blue-white explosion erupted. The shards in Shawn's uniform were small enough to make the blasts not particularly massive, but the end result would still be much akin to being nailed by grenade shrapnel as half a dozen small explosions tore into his upper torso. This alone probably wouldn't be enough to kill Shawn outright. Though he would likely be badly injured from it, Lucien had seen Shinigami fight through such injuries before. The shards were simply too small to create a considerable explosion. If Shawn had still managed to fire a concussive blast at the throne, it was time for Lucien to reveal his second trump card. One of which he had been setting up since the battle began. An arrow flashed from right before the throne, intercepting Shawn's Concussive Blast and exploding against it. Without his Spirit Command active, Lucien could not redirect the Concussive Blast, but a Class 1 arrow was still more than sufficient to cause the two attacks to cancel each other out. If Shawn had not fired the Concussive Blast, the arrow would zip through the air to pierce through Shawn's head, who was likely taken off-guard by the blasts that had just ravaged his body. Lucien was intending to finish this as quickly as he could, and cause Shawn as little pain as he could. The moment the arrow connected with Shawn's head it too would explode with a much more forceful-- and likely fatal, explosion.

Simultaneously, two more arrows flashed out of the air from behind Shawn to strike him from behind, aiming for his heart. These ones would not explode on contact, instead aiming to pierce the vital organ from behind. An omnidirectional barrage, aimed to catch Shawn off guard, from Lucien's earlier trap with an obsidian blade, and one with quite fatal results if he failed. "Then I shall acknowledge your blade at least. I bid thee farewell. Kami no Koe. May you and your worthy master find the peace you seek." He intoned, prepared to endure a hair more of battle. Shawn had taken him quite off guard more than once today. He was not ready to acknowledge that this would certainly defeat him, though he expected it to. Lucien stayed on high alert for any final act of spite or last ditch effort Shawn might have had to strike Lucien down.

Reiatsu Remaining: 8715/12000
-210 for maintaining Soul Property on the obsidian sword, detonating a Class 1 arrow, and then creating and detonating a second Class 1 arrow
