[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

Ah, Osaka Castle Park. She loved the view; the buildings, the overlook over the water, and even the people were worthwhile every now and again; she loved to see the new faces all over the place! After only having been here once before, she didn't have much to truly remember of the place or the people, but thankfully that didn't stop her from getting the same nostalgic feelings while also having felt that it was a new place altogether. She loved it.

That said though, unfortunately the girl wasn't here for a tourist trip; she'd received a rather important mission as of late; to remove a particular, rather bothersome Quincy - one that has been a thorn in the Emperor's side for quite some time - from existence. She felt she was rather prepared for the interaction at hand, and as such, was ready to stake out the Quincy where she needed to. She wasn't going to let a single thing escape her sight.

Speaking of sight, Priscilla made sure to bring a rather large pack of 500 sheets of origami paper with her. Keeping the open sheets of paper tucked away in her breast pocket, she was more than ready to start lighting up the area with her little "cameras". When she made sure that others eyes weren't focused on her, she'd flick a sheet or two of paper into a tree. Every time this was the case, where nobody had their eyes on her, she'd do that again. Thankfully after her encounter with a particularly interesting Failure, she'd learned that cloaking these sheets before throwing them was a must, so even before each sheet had left her pocket, they'd be almost entirely undetectable.

From here, her next course of action was rather simple. Making her way into a public bathroom, Priscilla went out of her way to style her hair in a rather particular way; making sure to keep a very large portion of it covering over her left eye. She'd need sight on the area around her, though she didn't want to set off any passerby that happened to be around her while she was preparing for reconnaissance. From there, all it took was a simple flick of her form, the ruffling of sheets of paper traveling up her legs, over her body, and stopping at her neck, complete with a quick outfit change in order to make her a bit more... inconspicuous, for as easy as that was with two-toned hair.

{Paper Overall}
Priscilla’s Bow Release is themed around that of paper. With paper having as many uses as it does, Priscilla’s Bow Release is comparatively versatile. Her release focuses around the creation, utilization, and weaponization of paper to a masterful point. Through her release, she can create a multitude of sheets of paper, and use those sheets in order to launch powerful attacks against those she deems her foes. These sheets of paper are special; they’re strengthened by her own reiatsu. As such, they don’t have any of the traditional “weaknesses” paper might usually have, such as fire or water. They can function quite well under both circumstances, provided these sheets are strong enough to withstand those circumstances due to Priscilla’s reiatsu.

Each sheet of paper has a Class & OS equal to Priscilla’s Class & OS when separate, and each piece of paper is a pure white in color. For the cost of 1 reiatsu per sheet of paper, Priscilla can cause a sheet of paper to change color and blend into her surrounding, or rest flat against a person. While these sheets of paper are camouflaged like that, each sheet of paper is treated as though its Stealth Skill were equal to Priscilla’s. When in motion, sheets of paper have an innate speed of 600, unless otherwise specified or used as an arrow. When pieces of paper are created, unless they’re explicitly destroyed, they can be used and subsequently reused by her properties at any point, making her a seriously tricky fighter.

{Heart Property}Class 2 - Heart - Author’s Blessing - Through this property, Priscilla is able to turn herself into what is effectively living paper. At any point while this property is active, Priscilla is able to instantaneously convert and disperse parts, or all of her body into sheets of paper. One limb can be converted into 500 sheets of paper. A smaller part of a limb, like a hand or a foot, is equal to 100. Her head & neck, and her torso can be converted into 500 sheets, respectively. Her whole body can be converted into 3000 sheets of paper collectively. There’s no reiatsu cost in order to convert these sections of her body into paper, but converting back into her normal form requires 1 point of reiatsu for each piece of paper used, totalling at 3000 for her entire body. Individual parts of her body can be converted into paper for an indefinite amount of time, though her head cannot stay in a paper form for more than two consecutive posts, else Priscilla will die. For the rest of her body to remain in a paper form effectively indefinitely, her head must be created somewhere, leaving her open for likely lethal attacks. In order to convert herself into paper, Priscilla must have enough reiatsu in her pool at time of conversion into paper to convert back. If she doesn’t have enough, she cannot disperse her body. Additionally, these sheets of paper function like the rest of the paper she can create, meaning it can still be destroyed with a strong enough attack. While her eyes at minimum are dispersed, or for a cost of 200 reiatsu every time she would like to, she is considered to be able to "see" from every sheet of paper she has laid out, acting as a way to keep track of the whereabouts of foes. While this property is active, Priscilla’s physical attacks made with her body use her OS instead of her strength.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Power Property}Class 4 - Power - Spiritual Plagiarism - While this property is active, Priscilla can reshape her paper into various constructs. These constructs can be used to fight for her, to bind targets, or even create defensive structures. These structures have a pool of SP equal to the amount of reiatsu put into creating one. In order to create a construct, Priscilla must spend reiatsu in order to form the paper needed to pay for the construct. Additionally, every piece of paper already created that is used to form a construct increases the SP of the construct by 1 per piece of paper. A construct can have a maximum SP of 1000, to be spent among Strength, Speed, and Reiatsu Strength, and is not subject to a limit as to what these numbers can be, so long as the total values of them equal 1000 or less. These constructs do not act automatically, and must be mentally controlled by Priscilla, like that of a puppet. If she isn’t fast enough to perceive an attack, and wouldn’t be fast enough to act accordingly to said attack, then the construct does not have a semblance of a chance to do so either. If she cannot focus enough to command a construct, then a construct cannot be commanded. Any of Priscilla’s Bow Properties that can affect her, or are used from her location can also affect a construct, or be used from a construct’s location as well. These constructs can take any shape, and the colors of these specific sheets of paper can be changed for a cost of 100 reiatsu per construct in order to replicate the appearance of people or common structures. These appearances are almost indistinguishable from the copied person or structure, unless inspected with a 3 in Focused Eye or Anti-Stealth. These constructs persist should this property be toggled off, but this property needs to be active to be able to create these constructs to begin with.

{Mass Property}Class 3 - Mass - Librarian’s Lance - With this property, Priscilla can create a large paper lance by creating and combining numerous paper arrows together. While this property is active, Priscilla can spend any amount of reiatsu in order to create said lance. For every two points of reiatsu spent, the lance’s OS increases by 1, with a base OS of 0. The speed of the lance is equal to half of the lance’s OS, and the OS of this lance cannot be greater than triple that of Priscilla’s OS. Sheets of paper already created can be used to form this lance, as well. Every piece of paper used is equal to one point of reiatsu, meaning two sheets of paper will increase the OS of the lance by 1 point. Much like her normal arrows, this lance can be detonated, and has the same effect of applying an area that causes papercuts, though the size of the area is a number of square feet equal to the OS of the lance divided by 20.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Was this really the right thing to be doing right now? Asmoskon had to ponder as he leaned his back up against the body of the cherry blossom tree. He was currently in Osaka Castle Park, one of his favorites places to visit when he had been growing up. This had been one of the few places that he had felt really happy when his parents had brought him. The way that everything came together just separated it from everything else in Osaka. He hadn’t expected it when he had been a child, but now that he had seen a good portion of the human world, there really wasn’t another place that matched this one.

There were others that matched it’s beauty, but not its uniqueness. Perhaps he was biased and this was just due to him coming here as a child. Either way he’d come here roughly an hour ago and been leaning up against the tree for half of it. He still remembered the park outline easily, but knew this spot best. Being here was enough to almost bring a calm peace to an unsteady heart. This wasn’t just some spot in the park, but a family memory. He’s come here and eaten with his parents more than once and due to that it was perhaps the spot in Osaka that could bring him the most joy.

Returning to Japan only a week or so ago Asmoskon had come across very few individuals so far, but he had a choice once again. Was he going to start teaching others how to engage the Vandenreich or would he go about it alone. He’d been away for the last couple of years, he knew it meant that he’d have gotten stronger, used the time to train more brainless servants while his own army was now gone. Years of his life vanished in just a few months leaving him with nothing more than his own might once again. The only solace he could take this time was his mental fortitude hadn’t crumbled in him.

He’d yet to visit his best friend, check in on any of his students, review the state of things elsewhere. All he could ponder the majority of the time now was if he had made the right choice. He’d left everything behind him once Hotaru had gone missing. He’d searched for her, months and months without any clues. Despite calling in dozens of favors, yet nothing was gained. He loved her now she was gone and he was alone again. Had he made the right choice though? Was it right for him to continue his one man crusade when that very thing had brought his bloodline to the verge of extinction?

If he gave up though then the free Quincy scattered throughout the world, those that knew him and he’d helped and those he’d yet to find. All of them would be on their own, all the experience he’d gained against the Vandenreich. All the success he’d had against them, all the pain he’d gone through in his pursuit, all of it would become pointless. One choice meant that he’d be letting down his entire race and all those he’d helped, whereas the other he’d be giving himself a chance at actually being happy. Was it right to sacrifice his own happiness for the sake of others?

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

Leaving the public restroom, Priscilla took a deep breath. Her target was here. There was absolutely no questioning it; her sensory capabilities gave her all the information that she needed to know, let alone the amount of vision she had over the park in general. In a short matter of moments, she could be on him with relative ease. That said though, she wasn't going to rush this. She'd gotten a small bit of information from the bingo books about the man, but ultimately it wasn't nearly enough to go by; she'd need to see the man in person in order to size him up, truly get a good look at what he was capable of. The range wasn't going to be of too much use to her in the current moment, but hopefully the set-up would aid down the line.

Making her way through the park, Priscilla began to draw in Reishi in the air around her, preparing for some semblance of confrontation. Instead of remaining in the uniform she traditionally wore, at the moment, she was in a simple white sundress, stopping right above her knees and adorned with a blue floral pattern. Thankfully, her papers had been doing well to mitigate her Reiatsu signature rather significantly; she wasn't the self-proclaimed "Queen of Infiltration" for nothing, of course. She wasn't going to give this man even a semblance of foresight against her if she could afford to help it. After all, her goal was to win the fight before it had even begun.

Within a rather short amount of time, she was eventually upon Asmoskon. She'd begun to think about how she had needed to go about the next few moments; she didn't want to sacrifice the opportunity to catch the Quincy off-guard, and, after a short amount of time, eventually came up with a plan. Causing her body to ripple and shift with sheets of paper, and altering her physical prowess without changing her appearance, Pris slowly made her way over to the Quincy currently leaning against a rather beautiful tree. She simply sat down across from him, a good twenty feet away on a park bench watching her phone. The goal here was to make her look like no more than a standard passerby, which likely should've succeeded as her papers kept her reiatsu masked.

Every now and then, she'd look up at the Quincy with a playful smile; nothing much, but hopefully enough to draw his attention after a period of time. From there, she simply opened her phone case and took out a small sheet of origami paper. Taking the time to manually fold it into a paper airplane - something she hadn't done in quite some time - Priscilla made sure to quickly inspect the folds, in order to make sure everything was aerodynamic enough to make it over there. Upon completing her inspection, she gently tossed the sheet, though as it left her hand, the airplane itself soared at speeds of 1000; significantly passed impossible for a normal human to hope to launch. The very second that the airplane-arrow was upon Asmoskon, Priscilla simply detonated the arrow, likely doing quite a bit of damage to the terrain around the man, if not the man himself. She prepped herself for the oncoming fight.

{Form Property}Class 6 - Form - Paperwave - Upon activating this property, all of Priscilla’s arrows become made of Reiatsu-strengthened paper. Each arrow is formed from a single 8.5 in. x 11 in. piece of paper, and as such, is much smaller than a standard arrow. This smaller size, however, allows it to fly through the air at a much quicker speed, travelling at a speed of 1000 in a straight line while this property is active. These arrows cost double that of normal arrows. Additionally, when detonated through the innate Vandenreich ability, these paper arrows will “splinter” off, causing anything in a 2x2 square foot area to suffer a large amount of spiritually-strengthened papercuts equal to Priscilla’s OS. Each of these arrows counts as one piece of paper for the purpose of her other properties.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Firing Property}Class 5 - Firing - Queen of the Written Word - After activating this property, Priscilla’s bow effectively disappears. Instead, Priscilla is given the option to fire her arrows by launching folded sheets of paper toward her targets. If her Class 6 property is not active, then these sheets of paper will form into standard Quincy arrows mid-flight, requiring a reiatsu cost equal to the cost of the arrows be paid for this transformation. If her Class 6 property is active, then these paper arrows have no cost in order to be fired.

Additionally, by forcing her reiatsu on sheets of paper she isn’t touching within her line of sight, for the cost of firing an arrow, she can cause them to fold and be held around her, allowing them to be fired for the standard cost of using arrows without any sort of somatic requirement or hand movement. Using this effect requires both her Class 6 and Class 5 properties to be active. To make use of her Class 5 property at all, Priscilla must have some amount of paper on her, or paper must be somewhere she can see.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Thinking to himself as he had been, Asmoskon jumped from topic to topic within his own mind until he came to the conclusion that regardless of how he felt he was in Japan once again and that meant one thing for sure. He had to go visit Kazura, if not just to see how his friend was doing then to finish aiding in the development of the reiatsu turrets. Something that he knew would aid his friend and employees more than himself. They’d been attacked together by the Bandenreich in the past and from that experience Asmoskon learned that such a large building couldn’t ever have too much defense.

It seemed though that he’d have to deal with a mosquito that was looking for a bit of blood. Since he had gotten here he’d been able to hear the movements of anyone that got close to him. His hearing had been trained specifically like virtually everything else to eliminate the Vandenreich. Now there was a woman of young age near him, one that he hadn’t been able to hear who just so happened to look over at him. “So even this place will be stolen from me by them.” Asmoskon whispers to himself as the events about to unfold become obvious to the cyclops.

The little paper plane soaring over to him at an immersive speed would have been enough to take him off guard if it hadn’t been for his alertness prior. Knowing which direction an attack is coming from makes it infinitely more acceptable to deal with. Pushing himself upwards onto his feet and then taking a step forward Asmoskon flows his reiatsu into his left foot accelerating his movement speed for a brief moment. Traversing the distance of roughly ten feet in an instant due to the technique known as Movement. As the paper plane explodes, Asmoskon fires an arrow of his own in the direction of the female.

Manifesting his short bow while he had been stepping forward by the time Asmoskon actually stops moving his right hand is held outwards along with a single pitch arrow with crimson edging to rush through the air. The arrow moves at a speed dwarfing that of the paper plane due to Asmoskon boosting it with further reiatsu. The woman would have to react right after her own explosion in order to evade the arrow moving at 1600 aimed to pierce the center of her stomach.

Asmoskon wasn’t a fool though, that first arrow was aimed for where she had been sitting yet after making an attack like that there was a good chance she wouldn’t stay sitting down. Regardless, a second arrow is fired immediately after the first. This one moving at the natural speed of a Quincy arrow and moving higher than the first. This would only be a threat to her if she stood up from her position. Pulling in a decent portion of the reiatsu in the environment around him to the black cross dropped around his neck Asmoskon prepared for a battle.

“Only back a week and already I’m found. Did his majesty miss me that much?”

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

As her airplane soared toward the Quincy, she'd taken notice of the reiatsu he'd been forcing into his foot, alongside the natural lean that he'd taken up right before he'd been ready to move told her he was going to be displaced here in a second. Looking at the way his body was facing had told her that he'd be off to her left side ever so slightly, causing the girl to avert her eyes before he was even there. While this would've taken time for most anyone else, Priscilla prided herself on being able to process information at the speeds she was able to. Very little was likely to get passed her as it was, and she was planning to keep it that way.

Making no effort to move at all, Priscilla smiled at the Quincy, now out of range from her little wave of papercuts, as he fired off two arrows; the first of which flew straight through her stomach, and the other off to her right side, likely on the chance that she might've decided to escape. Though, there was no need; as quickly as the arrow had flown through her, sheets of paper had separated, and eventually reformed around her body, showing no sign of injury. “Only back a week and already I’m found. Did his Majesty miss me that much?” Priscilla couldn't help but chuckle to herself after he finished speaking, and stood up off of the bench to face her opponent properly.

"Oh, please," she snarked with the same smile on her face, "don't give yourself that much credit. I'm here due to a necessity." Yawning, she watched Asmoskon's movements and planning just what she wanted to do against the man. With sheets of paper ruffling and separating from her body, two large spirals began to form. One to Priscilla's left, and the other to her right, whilst still not impacting the size and shape of her original form. Within seconds, these spirals quickly formed into to large, pure white hands that stretched up about halfway up the forearm.

Quickly thereafter, her reiatsu began to surge through each of these hands, further amplifying their physical capabilities. She was fully prepared for anything that Asmoskon might've looked to throw at her. At least, she felt she was. Ultimately though, she wasn't the type to keep up an offense when unnecessary; she was a defensive fighter, through and through. She'd only aim to attack the man if he did the same. As such, her new arms hovered close by her while she crossed the ones currently attached to her body, drawing in Reishi around her.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Getting up onto his feet and shooting off the arrows from his short bow was something second nature to Quincy. What he saw though was something that told him this Vandenreich was going to be someone that required a bit of thought in order to eliminate. The arrow that he had fired off from his bow at a decent clip of speed didn’t accomplish anything. He could see from the distance between them that although the arrow managed to hit the mark, the mark itself had altered her body in order to avoid damage. An ability that although uncommon wasn’t unheard of nor something Asmoskon didn’t believe he couldn’t handle.

The remark from her though wasn’t one that encouraged a fun little fight to the death. This girl wasn’t like Hadrian which meant she might not let her guard down even if her head weighed to much. A stoic expression across his face as Asmoskon made the decision that someone with an ability like this one couldn’t be allowed to leave alive. If she came across a different Quincy or even the majority of Humans she’d prove too much for them. The ability to prevent herself from actually sustaining damage was one a majority wouldn’t be able to handle. So this was up to him now.

“There’s a reason I’m a necessity.”

This woman was showcasing her ability in a variety of ways right from the start. Now displaying that she had the ability to not just alter her body into paper, but also manipulate them away from her direct body and even form three into different shapes. An ability that could prove difficult to handle if he slipped up. The only thing he questioned at the moment was whether or not her paper could be negatively affected by fire or liquid. If either were true then this wouldn’t amount to much more than practice. If not then he’d perhaps be pushed into actually trying against this woman.

She didn’t do anything with the arms formed from paper though. Something was a little off. Her presence was antagonistic obviously and she had made the first move. He couldn’t feel her presence nor sense her reiatsu so she was definitely someone that had a talent for stealth. Would he need the Eye this early? Was he so out of shape? He wasn’t sure, but it seemed she wished to play defense for the moment which was a little off. Either way though, Asmoskon wouldn’t let her escape. So it was time to reveal one of his own unique abilities as Quincy.

The eye patch was draining something that he hadn’t missed, but he knew that the benefits outweigh Ted the negatives otherwise wouldn’t have made such a thing. The more this girl senses his reiatsu the more it would affect her. Although a good possibility if she was one to rely on such a talent Asmoskon wasn’t looking forward to watching someone vomit. Making an apparent repetitive action Asmoskon fires off another single arrow from his short bow at the same enhanced speed now aimed for one of the two hands of paper. If she didn’t move it three he’d be able to test its durability and potentially inflict either pain or damage into her directly and learn a bit more about her ability.

Remaining Reiatsu: 2689/2500
Arrow Class 3: {-50} (-13)
Short-Bow Speed Boost: {-50} (-13)
Power Property: {-200} (-50)


Class 4 Property: Power Property: Never a Wasted Shot

Asmoskon's Primary power property enables every arrow fired from him to inflict harm upon any reiatsu entity struck by them. How this works is very simple if Asmoskon's arrows were to make contact with someone that prevents the physical damage from occurring then physical damage will appear on that entity in the same spot that the arrow would have struck. Damage inflicted by this ability however are only fifty percent in damage compared to the actual physical damage that would have been inflicted naturally. This means that if an arrow would have penetrated four inches into an entity then by this ability the wound will only be two inches and half as thick.

This property does though effect entities through extensions of their reiatsu in a different manner than physical contact listed above in the previous paragraph. If an arrow managed to make contact with a different focused form of reiatsu than the arrow will actually seap into the opposing reiatsu without causing a clash or inflicting any sort of opposition. What does happen from this is a instant spike of pain inflicted to the location of the entity that cast the opposing reiatsu structured. As an example if an opposing entity were to cast a projectile reiatsu technique from their hand then that hand would feel as if the arrow had just pierced through it until the end of Asmoskon's next post. This aspect of the property doesn't work on entities that possess a spiritual offensive stat 50% higher than Asmoskon.

Item Name: The Eye Patch
Item Type: Tool
Item Rank: A
Item Description: The Eye patch that Asmoskon is normally seen wearing is not as standard as one might assume simply because of it's appearance. Asmoskon through various attempts has been able to create a type of reiatsu disturbance device that just so happens to be his eye patch. When it's attached or so long as it makes contact with Asmoskon or anyone else for that matter that is a spiritual being the natural flow and status of their reiatsu suddenly becomes hectic. As if a stream of water suddenly begins to boil and splash about although nothing is causing it. What this accomplishes is simple predicting anything from Asmoskon's reiatsu becomes virtually impossible. The hectic nature of his reiatsu causes anyone who is sensing his reiastu to feel as if they're nauseous. Being able to pick up the spikes in his reiatsu prior to the execution of techniques becomes impossible as his reiatsu is constantly spiking in different ways that misleads anyone sensing to believe multiple techniques are being channeled every moment.

This does cause a fair bit of disadvantages as well though that despite his best efforts Asmoskon is unable to eliminate from the eye patch. While active his reiatsu becomes so hyper active that even those with 0 in Energy Sensory are able to find his location meaning that stealth becomes impossible against anyone spiritual. Asmoskon has to spend an additional 25% cost to any reiatsu based action meaning even forming arrows costs additional reiatsu. Those with higher than 400 in Energy Sensory are immune to the majority of the effects of this device however while these individuals are able to still predict Asmoskon's reiatsu normally they do suffer from the nauseous effects and suffer instant headaches the more and more they choose to sense Asmoskon's hyper active reiatsu.

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

“There’s a reason I’m a necessity.” Oh, she was going to enjoy this fight. Though, she wondered whether this was just blind confidence, or whether he was just full of himself. To say she was excited to find out was an understatement. "Really now?" She asked, that same condescending smirk still on her face, "Then tell me; if you're such an important target like you make yourself out to be, then why is one of the chief strategists for his Majesty here fighting you in place of someone much more combat-capable?"

Using her sensory capabilities to try to read into any flared signature the man seemed to have, Priscilla was immediately met with one hell of a headache; one she hadn't dealt with before when honing in on his Reiatsu. He'd been up to something; something that told her that tracking him that way was going to be rather difficult. She'd need to resort to using just the sight she had over him and the battlefield instead, possibly using her sensory capabilities in dire situations only.

Quickly stopping her reiatsu sensory, she focused on the man in front of her instead. Just what was he planning on doing? As she asked that, she saw him quickly ready a shot not against her, but against the hand to her right; with the way he was standing and the slight tilt in his body, there was absolutely no way that he was aiming for her. Considering his bow was fairly perpendicular with the rest of his body and that her arms were a bit above her head, considering her already much shorter height than the man, there was very little chance he was aiming at her. 

Considering the fact that he hadn't aimed for a lethal shot to start his approach, it was safe to say that he wasn't the type to end a fight quickly. Coming to that conclusion, she'd made the assumption that his arrows had done something upon making contact; something she didn't exactly want to find out the results of, but something she needed to experience in order to truly figure out what she was going to have to deal with. Letting the arrow soar straight into the hand, Priscilla stared in visible confusion as the arrow flew directly through the palm at rather impressive speeds, and entered through the other side. 

Interestingly enough, very little happened. The hand reformed, and continued about floating beside the girl without fault. Unbeknownst to the girl, removing her body from existence temporarily seemed to aid her in the situation, seeing as a construct body had no nerves to count on, else she'd be experiencing pain that would've easily been crippling for her. "I've certainly got to say," she started, "I was expecting something a bit... I don't know, more than that?" She chuckled to herself.

Shifting around her neck a bit as though to crack it, Priscilla let out a sigh. "Well then, if that little sparkler of an arrow was your only attempt to strike, then I do believe it's my turn, no?" All while keeping her arms crossed, the paper arms began to approach the Quincy at their full speed of 750, all while she was siphoning Reishi from the environment. Each arm looked to aim for a different part of the Quincy; the left one flattened out its hand and pushed each finger together in order to create a straight line, with the tips of each finger now forming into what were effectively single-edged razorblades, headed straight for Asmoskon's neck. The right hand, however, spread its fingers wide and aimed to wrap around the Quincy in an attempt to grab him, looking to hold him down so that the left hand could complete its goal of decapitation.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Asmoskon pulled on the reiatsu of the area around him while his foe spoke once again, wise enough now through the years of harash war that he was aware of how useful even a moment's worth of preparation could be. The reiatsu that was gathered into the black cross around his neck gave him a feeling that he hadn’t experienced in the last few months. The sensation of actually drawing on the energy of the environment around him. Another sign that perhaps he really had been gone too long. What had once felt so second nature that he didn’t even notice now felt as alerting as a gallon of water cascading down his shoulders.

As for the comments made the tall Quincy simply stood remaining calm and stoic to the woman he knew despite being quite attractive wouldn’t be holding onto that aspect or anything else once their paths finished intersecting today. That blind faith in someone above you, she spoke in the same way as most and she’d die for it like most. “Doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result is insanity. That’s one thing your Emperor is not. Why a literal paper pusher like you was sent to welcome me back into this chess match against him. . . That I don’t know. I was expecting someone more akin to a Knight or Bishop, not a pawn.”

Firing the arrow from his short bow Asmoskon reviews the results of his pitch arrow piercing through the pure paper hand. What he saw though told him something important yet nonetheless frustrating. His arrow hadn’t accomplished anything. It hadn’t dispersed into the paper nor had it caused any sort of negative reaction from the woman. Whether or not it worked though it gave him further information on her ability. Something Asmoskon excelled at gathering and utilizing against his foes.

While the foe spoke once again Asmoskon thought about just how he could get through the apparent ability to transform her physical body into spiritual paper. It was an interesting ability, but he doubted that it followed actual logic. Pulling in more of the reiatsu from the environment through his cross Asmoskon watches the woman’s body. Describing his power property a few moments ago was the right choice and he knew it if it wasn’t able to enforce even a bit of pain on her. Right now she had two floating hands of paper which were obviously her arrows transformed.

Watching her lips move yet listening to no words Asmoskon comes to the conclusion that he’d have to wait and see while trying some basics. If this had been virtually anywhere else then it wouldn’t be his choice, but the man truly didn’t want to destroy the park. The heartless methods of the Emperor, something that despite everything he’d been through Asmoskon, was still a novice by comparison. As the hands rush towards him Asmoskon fires off three arrows in rapid succession from his short bow.

One arrow each set to hit the hands while moving at the basic speed which seemed to be superior to them now. The first arrow he fired though was aimed directly at the face of the woman. He’d seen her alert her torso with no ill effect. Could she do the same for her face and if possible did it mess with her sight. Information that was important in a fight against anyone that must die at all costs. If the hands retained their shape and continued onwards then Asmoskon would execute a handless backflip putting a bit of additional speed between them before accelerating himself forward past them via Movement.

Getting closer to the woman regardless of whether or not she had to evade his arrow or simply allowed it to pass through her head Asmoskon fires a single arrow from his short bow this time enhancing the flight speed once again. Fast enough to close the distance near instantly Asmoskon employed the technique known as Verwüstung. The arrow splitting apart from itself with a thin black line of reiatsu connecting the two now. Wrapping around the woman in order to restrain her until after a moment they’d circle around enough to connect and unleash a powerful explosion of reiatsu covering several feet in radius.

Arrow Class 3: (2x) {-50} (-13)

Quincy Cross: {+1600}

Technique Name: Verwüstung (Devastation)
Class: 5
Technique Type: Quincy Technique
Usable By: Quincy (All)
Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects: This technique at first can't be distinguished from a standard Quincy arrow until after it has been fired from the bow. Once the focused arrow is fired it will split into two arrows connected to one another through a rope formed of Reiatsu. The effect of the rope allows the arrows to wrap around the target multiple times restraining them until the arrows eventually connect together and cause an explosion of spiritual energy.

How to use technique: Summon not one, but two Quincy arrows that are merged together into a single shot, and then release them to split-apart mid-flight.

Technique Drawbacks: The technique can simply be evaded through swift movements and dodging the inner spiritual connection. Only those who an offensive stat greater than the user are able to break free from the rope and free themselves once entangled.

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

"His Majesty works in mysterious ways," she said, "have you thought about the possibility of me being the one who'll finally put an end to the dog that thought he could stand against man?" As her paper constructs began to fly toward Asmoskon, each one now having an arrow sticking out of the palm and missing their mark, she watched as the Quincy flipped backward and launched an arrow aimed directly for her head. A shot like that was certainly impressive, to say the least. Nonetheless, she wasn't going to allow herself to be hit by something like that. Activating her Heart Property as the arrow soared through the air, her head spread out into numerous sheets of paper, some of which moving dramatically away from her head and others separating significantly, ultimately looking to force the arrow to fly right "through" her.

Not long after, these sheets of paper quickly formed around her head once more, her hair no longer covering her left eye, and leaving her with an angry look on her face and a body that began to ripple and shift. In place of an actual eye, that entire half of her face looked as though it had been wide open, with paper opening up what would've looked like that of a wound. "Tch," she scoffed, "I would've liked to not have to show something like this to poor civilians that're around here. Guess I've no choice now?"

As another set of arrows split and flew around the Quincy, quickly wrapping her up, she made no effort to escape. In truth, there was no need to do so. Instead, she simply recalled her hands to a distance incredibly close to herself; well inside the range of the explosion that was now going off directly on her, and causing paper to fly absolutely everywhere. With sheets of paper flying everywhere, to someone who didn't know much better, the fight would seem over as she was no longer there once the smoke cleared.

Though, thirty feet to her left, all of the paper that had been launched around the area quickly began to reform around that location, with even more paper seeming to be spontaneously created from thin air as she willed to happen. Over the course of a few short moments, the girl was eventually whole again, and ready to fight once more, though with a ragged breath to her. She'd looked like she had right before the blast, though instead of having those floating hands, she now held what they'd become. Weapons for the Quincy; a rapier in her left hand, and a buckler in the right.

"Well, that certainly was a cheap trick, wasn't it?" She said, taking a deep breath to draw in reishi. In an instant, however, she was gone, bolting toward the free Quincy at a speed of 6,000 thanks to the standard Quincy step, Hierenkyaku. She'd looked to position herself directly in front of the man, and pierce through the man's chest with her new blade, striking with a strength of 900 backing her. She'd quickly come to realize that this man wasn't exactly going to hold back against her, and in turn she had no reason to do so either.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

“If you believe you’re the one to pull the thorn from your Emperor’s backside then do it.” The arrow that Asmoskon fires off didn’t accomplish anything beyond giving him further information. The fact she was able to turn her head into various sheets of paper in order to avoid damage wasn’t something that Asmoskon hadn’t expected, but it all the same gave him what he needed to know. Everything that he had seen so far told him that she could more than likely turn her entire body into paper, but she needed to do so intentionally.

It wasn’t just the fact that this girl now had an angered look on what part of her face had reformed from the paper, but the fact her body hadn’t turned to paper right away. These were the things that told Asmoskon he needed to either turn up the speed on his arrows or catch her by surprise. Both were options, but Asmoskon wasn’t sure which would be the best choice. Before he managed to make a decision she began to speak again claiming that she didn’t want to show what was about to happen to the normal humans around. “Please your kind, don't care now, get on with it.”

Strangely though she made no move, despite what she said Verwüstung continued on just as was intended up to the point where it actually wrapped around and connected causing a large explosion. Right away though Asmoskon could tell his technique hadn’t accomplished the killing blow. Unsure whether or not it had done anything to her at all due to the smoke obscuring his sight. He was certain this was still going on just due to the mass of paper flying everywhere now. If her ability was to turn her body into paper then upon death no further paper should appear.

After only a few moments Asmoskon could see that the poet over the area now was moving towards a single location gathering together to form what would undoubtedly be the Vandenreich. As the woman began to reform her body she’d find another arrow of pitch with crimson edging flying right to her face. Moving at a speed of 1600 just like the previous. Another test to see just how full proof her ability happens to be. Asmoskon holding his short bow in his left hand simply watches from this point.

If she dodged or was in no danger from the arrow then she’d likely proceed as planned getting no response from Asmoskon as she formed her rapier, buckler and additional hands from the paper. A very useful ability yet one that had to have some sort of limitation of weakness. Once it was figured out then she’d be left easily vulnerable. She hadn’t used anything else yet which meant she was one to likely rely on her unique abilities. Although the appearance of weapons told him she may be proficient in close combat.

Also as if they had planned to do it together Asmoskon begins to absorb reiatsu from the environment once again into his cross. Not gathering up so much in such a short span of time that it would have an ill effect on the park, but enough that he was confident he wouldn’t have any trouble dealing with this lackey. In the moment that followed she accelerated her movement speed in order to close the distance right away and thrust her rapier forward at his chest. Asmoskon, possessing the knowledge and processing power to track her, was ready.

Thrusting her sword forward to his chest she’d feel immediate resistance against her blade. Resistance enough to stop it. Asmoskon’s face along with the rest of his body, even if it remains concealed beneath his clothing, was now covered in black tribal-like tattoos. From his chest arrows aren’t just formed, but fires from as Asmoskon activates his Form Property. Five arrows all at once from his chest fired off not just to clash with the rapier, but set to hit her as well.

Form Property: Markings of an Archer

Asmoskon's Form property is one that doesn't change his bow from a normal one into a different type of weapon whether it be meant for distance or melee range. In fact it doesn't even alter his bow into an item or type of clothing like many of the new Quincy. Instead Asmoskon's Form property actually takes the form of tattoo like markings that cover the majority of his body ranging from his face, chest, arms, waist, hands, legs, thigh, shins and feet. Virtually every part of Asmoskon's body is covered at least to some degree in these markings that appear on his skin the moment he activates this property. What this property actually allows Asmoskon to achieve though is something completely different as now Asmoskon can fire an arrow from any of the markings on his body at any moment. These markings also offer Asmoskon a type of pseudo-defense that is constantly activate from the moment of activation. The markings are able to prevent Asmoskon's body from sustaining damage on the points covered from any type of attack. The class of defense these markings possess is the typical class 6. The markings lose this defensive property the moment that an arrow is fired from one of them. They regain the defensive property at the beginning of the next post. In order to reactivate the defensive property in the same post as firing an arrow Asmoskon must pay 100 reiatsu. This property effectively makes Asmoskon's own body his bow.

This property stems from Asmoskon's past. Specifically Asmoskon's younger years experiencing the lose of his family and the training that he underwent to claim the title of the greatest archer. Taking the claim and the goal to heart the hours of training are the cause for the tattoos enabling Asmoskon to fire his arrows from them. This is linked mainly to Asmoskon's pride and resolve as an individual. The defensive nature of the tattoos is much more personal as they're linked to the pain and torment that Asmoskon suffered when his family was killed. Wearing that pain as armor is a literal look on this property as Asmoskon has accepted the lose of his family.

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

As she began to reform, with an arrow now launching straight for her, she simply took the time to reform her head ever so slightly slower. Having full vision over the entire area, not to mention awareness over Asmoskon himself firing an arrow, this wasn't a feat that was anywhere near impossible for her to pull off. After all, with the speed at which the arrow had been flying to begin with, and the fact that it was significantly faster than her own reformation process, there was little chance that her deliberately slowing herself down to avoid a strike was going to be a hinderance. After the arrow had flown threw and she'd begun to completely reform, she smirked at the Quincy.

Continuing through with her strike, Priscilla was caught off-guard rather quickly by her inability to move her blade forward. While she couldn't directly feel the rapier have to deal with the resistance of the arrow that had now contested it, or the arrows that had now been lodged into her abdomen due to her inability to feel anything, Priscilla withdrew from melee range. She needed to take a second to piece together just what this Quincy was capable of doing. While not quite sure of what he could do at the current time, she'd need to take the time to figure it out. Nonetheless, she took the time to draw in reiatsu before doing anything else.

Looking down at her abdomen, Priscilla giggled to herself. "Oh," she said, "would you look at that; appears as though I've been impaled." Not caring to deal with the arrows in her fake body at the moment, she simply entered melee range once more and went in for another strike against the Quincy. This time though, her rapier was directed at the Quincy's face; specifically, that uncovered eye of his. If all went well, she'd been looking to blind the man completely if she could. From there, it'd just be a matter of keeping that buckler close by on the off-chance that she needed to defend against another strike.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Something was different, this Vandenreich wasn’t just turning herself into various sheets of paper in order to avoid damage. He could see that for certain now as the head that he had aimed to pierce as it reformed seemingly slowed down. The arrow passed through at what seemed like the perfect time for her. Almost as if she was watching and waiting in order to avoid harm at just the right moment. The way that this ability seemed so far Asmoskon had a hard time believing that it was automatic which meant it was intentional. Could she sense or see in a way beyond physical vision?

The reformation of Vandenreich's body was something that Asmoskon had seen a few times now, but this time he could see the expression written across her face. The rapier being stopped by the few arrows from his chest wasn’t something that Quincy seemed to expect, so could she not see them coming from his chest? Being fired into her form though brought about the most important bit of information. She made no reaction to the apparent damage. Even going so far as to make a joke about being shot. So just how could she be brought down?

Almost her entire body was reformed at this point and it seemed she was determined to force this close combat attempt. Asmoskon, still keeping his form property up, was covered in tattoos, her rapier moving forward towards his head Asmoskon executing movement in order to step to the side at an accelerated speed. A few feet of distance between them now as Asmoskon moved to the right and an arrow flew off from his left arm right towards the Vandenreich.

This time though the arrow was different from anything else Asmoskon had done so far. It wasn’t a typical or even an extremely fast one, nor did it split apart like the technique he had tried a minute ago. This arrow didn’t even look like that of a weapon, no it looked like . . . Asmoskon?! A miniature version of himself in the coloration of his reiatsu. Flying right towards Quincy , extending out his right hand towards her rapier with a giant grin across its face. “HI THERE BEAUTIFUL!” A giant explosion covering eighty feet would erupt in the moment that follows as the arrow detonates from a single word uttered by Asmoskon. “Detonate.”

Remaining Reiatsu: 3812/2500
Arrow Class 2: (-60)
Power Property 3: (-300)

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

As Asmoskon tried to put distance in between the two of them, Priscilla decided to do the same, hopping backward a few feet while keeping a tremendous amount of vision on the man in front of her. Watching him fire an arrow that very much did not look like an Arrow, Priscilla immediately went on the defensive. As what looked to be a clone of the Quincy began to fly toward her, she immediately threw up her buckler in defense, and activated Blut Vene & Gate.

“HI THERE BEAUTIFUL!”

With a cacophonous ring from both the "arrow" and the explosion, Priscilla was forced to endure the blast head-on. There was very little chance that she was going to actually escape the blast radius, nor did she seek to do so. Instead, paper within the explosion began to scatter, flying about as the lot of it was subjected to a force that was on par with what each individual sheet had been capable of responding with normally. While each sheet hadn't been destroyed, there was certainly the possibility for it should an upper limit have been pushed.

As the blast cleared, the sheets that made up Priscilla's body began to reform and recirculate around where she'd been originally standing. Aside from the paper that had certainly been scattered due to the sheer force of the blast itself, she stood relatively unharmed, but royally pissed off. The arrows that were now in her chest had been scattered with the blast, and were no longer pierced through the fake body she'd made for herself.

"Listen," she said, her body rippling again as her capabilities had been changed, and deactivating Pulley, "I'll give you one chance here; stand down. Lay down your arms, and I promise you I'll make the rest of this painless. Keep fighting, and I promise you that I'll put you through hell in the worst way imaginable, Asmoskon. It's your choice." With that said, she vanished from sight thanks to a rather potent stepping technique that Quincy had access to; one that'd likely push Asmoskon's ability not to mentally react to, but to physically react to.

Hierenkyaku Constant. A Quincy technique notorious for not only enhancing a Quincy's ability to travel, but their ability to move their entire body at noteworthy speeds. In this specific instance, Priscilla was making use of this in order to close the distance between her and Asmoskon rather immediately at a speed of 3,000, appearing behind him and giving him very little time to react, let alone respond to her words. At that same speed of 3,000, Priscilla forcefully pressed her hand against the back of his head with a hand that was now actually her own hand.

With that, she'd forcefully launch her own veins into his skin, making use of a technique taught to her by her best friend and mentor, Amalia; Blut Vermächtnis. While he was likely going to be tolerable to the pain that would prove to wrack his body for quite some time, something like this was going to prove to be a nightmare as the fight continued to press on. She'd be interested to see how he'd react to what she'd just thrown at him, and absorbed reiatsu as she planned for what was to come.

{Blut Vermächtnis}Class: 3

Technique Type: Quincy Technique

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

Technique Element: Spirit

Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect): A technique that is a curse upon an enemies. The user can activate their blut and offer a portion of it to another, allowing it to leave their body and enter another’s. The characteristic veins of Blut can extend from the user’s body by only five feet. They can enter an opponent if the user touches them or if the vein tendrils are capable of touching the skin.
When bestowed upon an enemy this will enter the veins and spread gradually across eight posts. The purpose is to cause terrible bleeding by rupturing blood vessels. As the infection progresses, the opponent will literally be drained off their blood, unless they are emptied and left for dead. The course of the blut infection is outlined below.

1. Blut will be observably present beneath the skin in the veins, moving independent of the body. It will create a bluish-glow across the body’s veins. From the moment of infection the opponent will experience incredible pain. It will feel like the blut is drilling through their body and their skin.

2. The skin will have become so sensitive to the blut infection that it is hyper-sensitive to touch, which includes clothing, armor, and even holding a weapon. Even the gentlest of materials or lightest of touches will feel like severe burns. A three in pain tolerance is able mitigate this side-effect, though they will still experience this pain intermittently.

3. Intense and random stabbing pains will be experienced, as if they were jabbed with a knife is various locations. The capillaries at the surface of the skin will begin eroding and cause pooling of blood under the skin. If the opponent is cut the wound will hemorrhage more quickly due to damage blood vessels. An opponent will begin to feel fatigued from the effects of the blut.

4. The walls of blood vessels across the body have thinned causing internal bleeding in various parts of the body. Blood loss has prevented the body from receiving steady blood to vital organs, which begins impairing an opponent’s senses and ability to concentrate and plan.

5. The body’s muscles have begun to weaken due to poor blood flow and tissue across the body is dying. Blood has begun seeping through the skin and drenching clothing. Eyes will begin pooling with small amounts of blood as will the ears and mouth. This will distort vision and complicate hearing.

6. Fatigue will have greatly intensified. Battling will be tiring and exhaust the opponent greatly, reducing their ability to launch continuous attacks, whether those are techniques, hand-to-hand fighting, or weapon use. Their body is heavily leaking blood, enough that they leave blood behind wherever they go and stain everything they touch. Their skin is bleeding and blood has pooled considerably on the brain and beginning in the lungs, causing labored breathing.

7. Blood is pooling in the back of the throat, practically choking an opponent. Skin has begun to split and peel off from being soaked by so much blood. All friction causing the skin to tear, which includes holding onto objects and even clothing. The opponent is in pure agony and high-class techniques run the risk of severely damaging the body due to its weakened state.

8. This post signals the end of anyone infected with this form of blut. All the vessels in their body has dissolved or ruptures and their blood drains from every part of their body. Essentially, a fountain of blood soaks the ground and they are drained dry, as nothing is left to contain their blood.

How to use technique (How is it activated?): Can activate by offering 400 reiatsu.

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc): If an opponent has 200+ HE, they can delay the effects of the technique for two posts and the effects will not exceed post five effects. If an opponent has 400+ HE, they will be able to completely thwart the technique. If an opponent has 50% RS they are unaffected by the tech. If a user has poison resistance one, they can halt the effects for a single post. They get one additional post for each point in poison resistance, up to three posts for which they can postpone. The user does not have access to blut vene for five posts following activation of this technique.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

The sight of his reiatsu erupting not just upwards, but outwards enveloping everything that had been in the immediate vicinity. Asmoskon standing now at the cusp of the crater couldn’t help the pit sensation that he endured in his heart. This place had been perhaps one of the last little jems of his life as a child. One of the last memories that he could visit when his parents had been with him, when that bastard hadn’t corrupted them. Now it is gone. The sensation was made even worse by the fact that he had chosen to corrupt this area with his own power. This wasn’t because of that man nor his lackeys it was his doing and one he had to accept and smother like so many others just so his corpse could continue forward with purpose.

Asmoskon could see hundreds of sheets of paper scattered throughout the area, a bit of information that gave him what he needed to make a judgement call. “She’s not dead then.” He reasoned to himself as he thought of the next few steps in this play. So far he’d seen her reform her body and even alter it by using her paper abilities. The black reiatsu of the explosion in front of him was dying down now yet it would be visible as a small portion of the reiatsu was pulled back into Asmoskon’s cross. Along with reiatsu from the environment Asmoskon made sure to keep his reserves adequate.

So far she’d shown quite a few different abilities and all of them revolved around paper, so he had to surmise that she relied almost exclusively on her own unique abilities, having seen virtually no actual techniques. A gamble for any individual to bet on, although Asmoskon was certain at the moment that this girl was hiding something. He couldn’t tell where she was right now which meant she was likely gathering information on him as well or getting into a position to make her next move from a safer distance. Either way Asmoskon had time to ready himself by funneling reiatsu into the crest of his back.

The crimson colored tattoo of his family would glow briefly beneath his black sleeveless tank top. Only the edging on the circle sides visible from behind yet nothing else would be revealed. The tattoos that cover virtually the entirety of his body were black ink with a tribal look whereas the one was completely different. This wasn’t a product of his form property. The cherry pink petals of the trees blown throughout the area by the unnatural explosion so close by, Asmoskon to anyone looking in would seem like an accident. A drop of black ink in a sea of beautiful pink.

In the moments that followed Asmoskon stood watch as the Vandenreich girl reformed herself in the crater. Roughly ten feet in depth with a radius easily larger, Asmoskon was quite literally looking down on her now. Whether she realized it or not this wasn’t a battle between the righteous and the damned. It was a battle between the naive and the experienced. Although a bit of distance now stood between them Asmoskon could recognize the details of her face pulling in the information that she was close to losing her controlled emotional state. “It won’t be long now.” Coming to the conclusion within himself.

Attempting to bargain a cease fire? To get him to surrender in order to save himself from pain? He had to wonder whether they’d even briefed her on him. It’s been almost two years since the last Vandenreich had been brought down by his bow yet he hadn’t expected them to forget so fast. Time for some re-education. Asmoskon allowed her to speak her threat, a stern expression, her only sight in return to her rage. “Seventeen.” Asmoskon spoke loud enough for her to hear for certain. Making sure she had a moment to try and process just what he could mean. “The number of times one of you lap dogs have attempted to save yourself with that same offer.”



Asmoskon could feel the reiatsu signature of this girl spike for a moment higher than it had prior, he had noticed that her signature was either very faint or unperceivable which meant that whatever she was about to unleash took a fair bit more than what she had been doing. This was likely going to be something outside of her own unique abilities. A technique that she felt could give her the edge needed to bring him down for his blasphemy. Perhaps it may have given her an edge if Asmoskon hadn’t prepared for something to happen while her paper had scattered.

The moment that she vanishes from Asmoskon’s sight the acknowledgment of her actions is immediate. He hadn’t fired an arrow from his tattoos for more than a few seconds which meant that the defensive properties were back yet would they be enough to protect him from an arrow to the back? A question that at one point he may have worried over. Now his family watched over his back just as he arrived to avenge them. The moment she arrived behind him extending out her hand to touch his head the crimson tattoo on his back shines bright. A circular ring of reiatsu appears between her hand and Asmoskon, spinning at insane speeds yet sending out a push away.

A potent technique that would act fast enough to prevent this Vandenreich from touching Asmoskon sending out a shockwave that would push her away yet wouldn’t inflict harm upon her unless she finds herself slamming into a tree. The threat would be from the miniature Asmoskon’s flying out from his back towards her. Five of them are identical to the first with the only exception being the expression across their faces. Spreading out immediately with two going horizontal to the ground and arcing around the sides. Two others moving upwards at an arc and the final rushing upwards high above.

No detonation though, instead the hands of each miniature morphing into a small bow, each one firing an arrow towards the Vandenreich as she’s pushed back from the force of the shockwave. This Vandenreich wasn’t just facing down one archer, she was facing what could become a true volley of arrows. For the moment she had enhanced her ability to move, but now Asmoskon more than tripled his ability to shoot. “How long can your body hold up under the pressure of that man’s feet?”

Technique Name: Tamashī no Sukuriputo (Soul Script)
Class: 1
Technique Type: Other
Usable By: Any Race
Technique Element: N/A

Technique Description and Effects: This technique takes on the appearance of a tattoo located on his back hidden from sight and one that very few individuals know about. This tattoo is the Crest of the Masurao Family which covers from the back of his shoulders down just below his shoulder blades to the upper middle of his back. Asmoskon actually has no control over this technique as he devised it to have a trigger situation that must be met in order for the technique to activate itself. In short when anything of danger reaches five feet from Asmoskon from behind the tattoo activates. Suddenly the crest of the Masurao family will appear behind Asmoskon as crimson reiatsu while rapidly rotating clockwise. Instantly the crest repels whatever activated it backwards with force equal to Asmoskon's Reiatsu Strength.

How to use technique: Listed Above

Technique Drawbacks: Costs 800 Reiatsu. The technique can't activate if the tattoo on Asmoskon's back is damaged in anyway meaning cutting his back can render this technique incapable of activating. Asmoskon has no control over the technique meaning it can actually be exploited against him. This technique isn't meant to cause harm so even though whatever triggers the technique may be pushed backwards with overwhelming strength the push itself won't cause any sort of harm. However, harm is possible if someone is pushed into an opposing force or obstacle that can't be moved by this technique. The greatest weakness of this technique is the simple fact that Asmoskon must fill the tattoo with his reiatsu prior to a threat appearing in order for it to activate. This must be done prior to every single activation as the technique will not activate unless this process is fulfilled.
