KICK BACK [DP PvP]

[Rozelyn H. Castellanos]

Hiyori watched on in surprise as her strike seemed to miss its mark. Her eyes widened as everything flickered to back for a moment, before returning to normal. As she emerged from Schatten, the Quincy took a moment to look around, aiming to find the Akki with her eyes. Thankfully, the explosive release of her spiritual presence similarly aided with that fact.

As Holika removed the final limiter on her capabilities, Hiyori allowed herself to lower to the ground via Hirenkyaku once more, she positioned herself around two-hundred feet away from Holika. Especially since she wasn't quite sure what that woman was prepared to utilize now. Things proved to be getting rather serious; she'd need to up her game at this point, if nothing else. She'd very well end up dying if she wasn't careful. And frankly, that couldn't happen.

"Made you flee, did I?" She called out, "nothing wrong with a tactical retreat every now and again!" Truthfully, Hiyori was feeling that too. She'd need a moment to catch her breath. Moving at her top Speed for the course of the fight had proven to be a bit taxing on her; such was going to be necessary for her. As more plates of armor manifested across her, weighing her down more than before, Hiyori had prepared to stay relatively still for the most part.

Such still remained the case as hellfire had rained down near Holika; there was very little chance she was going to close the gap between them. At least, not at this moment. Smiling at the onslaught that had followed, Hiyori found herself taking ample opportunity to simply not be there. If nothing else, now proved to be quite the time for the girl to formulate an idea on how she was going to handle this situation.

Given her firepower - literally - it seemed that Holika was prepared to utilize rather explosive amounts of firepower in order to deal with the girl. Was there any way that she could turn it against her? Likely not, she thought to herself, seems she can survive just fine within those areas. Gotta think of something else. The question remains, though... what could work? Dropping Jisatsu Senshi, Hiyori focused on hunkering down for the time.

[Holika]

As the two thousand pieces of purple and black fire covered metal caltrops fell from the sky, raining down around Holika in a two hundred foot perimeter, she stood still in the air, her only movement being the gentle flapping of her burning white hot wings of metal. The air seemed to vibrate from the heat pouring out around her, her black and purple eyes pulsating as they stared down the Quincy, two hundred feet from her. It was truly quick thinking of the Quincy to get just out of range of Holika's ability and something that Holika thought this person wouldn't do. And so, Holika launched another plan instead in her mind.

'Why don't you try this on for size.' Holika thought as she watched her Flocking flares arc from mid air and follow after her target, locked on and searing through the air at Hiyori, seemingly following her energy signature. All five were focused to slam into and explode in the Quincy's chest. While this was happening, Holika lifted her chains, extending them to their max length of 55 feet long and willed them to tie eachother tight to themselves at the ends. This made a single chain at approximately 110 feet long. Holika then lifted her right arm back, lifting the chain to whirl back like a massively long whip, and focus her spiritual energy at the very end of it. As she whirled her arm forward, Holika caused the very end farthest from her to aim at the Quincy and released the whip from her hand.

While aiming her hand at the Quincy, Holika spoke in her mind and incanted quickly, 'Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six!' As Holika mentally spoke the incantation, six lights of pure white surrounded Hiyori and attempted to hold her in place, having a paralyzing effect on her. This was all in order to keep her held still for the entire attack at hand to take place since she liked slipping in and out of the shadows so much. The light from the rods would even make the shadows around Hiyori almost entirely disappear, only being a single spot beneath her and between her feet.

The chain, moving at 600 speed, sped towards the Quincy, the soft, smolder purple energy at the tip being slightly masked by the white hot chains themselves as it sailed through the air, controlled by Holika's mind as it flew at it's intended target. Holika herself would fly directly up into the air, moving at her full speed upwards while keeping her eyes on the Quincy to ensure she would not be caught off guard. The flocking flares and the chain were both flying towards Hiyori at two different speeds. It would be no doubt the flares would reach Hiyori first, but the chain might have been more present and seen by Hiyori, causing a possible distraction to keep her from noticing the flares homing in. "Fly my pretties, fly." Holika mused to herself as she watched the impending carnage.

Saisei Oni Overall Ability:
This ability only takes affect when Holika releases into Saisei Oni. Holika’s overall ability centers around the suffering that flame and steel can bring to the body in Tartarus. The agonies and screams that come from such tortures excite her and bring the blood rushing throughout her body. This is shown through her wings of black steel, lighting up on the edges with almost pure white flames burning along them. The heat wafting off of these feathers reaches upwards of 2,500 Kelvin, easily enough to melt through most metals and rock.

Holika’s skin also mimics this theme, as it grows darker and begins cracking, showing a glowing red and orange beneath, dark and pulsating in the cracks of her skin. Her skin mimics the rock basalt where it is not cracked, a dark black with speckles of a light grey almost white smattering about her body. Her own fire and heat cannot harm her however fire coming from another source is another story. She also exudes an aura of hellfire from the cracks within her skin, decimating most low level beings that approach her.

The aura reaches outwards by ten feet and scorches the soul. Those that remain within the aura for more than a single post will feel their skin begin to blister. Remaining within this aura for more than two posts will cause such blisters to begin to burst and begin pouring out a black ichor that has the smell of sulfur. Remaining for even one more post will cause the ichor to burst into hell fire, threatening to consume the being. The flames take on the color of black at its center and bleed outwards reaching an ultra violet purple. Once the ichor bursts and the hellfire is fed the target will suffer double damage from OS attacks. This effect takes up one of her Long-Term stat boosts upon usage.

Those with a superior OS to Holika’s highest Spiritual Stat are able to resist these flames. Those with more than 2 in Strength of Will, Heat Tolerance, or Pain Tolerance can resist all of these pains and continue fighting, ignoring all pain. Those at 2 in Strength of Will or Pain Tolerance will become nearly crippled once the black Hellfire emerges from their body. Finally at a Strength of Will or Pain Tolerance at level 1, the blistering of the skin will cause them to recoil in pain as if one touched hot super heated metal, like the red glow of a stove top, across their entire body. Characters without either of these skills recoil immediately from Holika’s intense heat, not able to enter within ten feet of her body for more than a single second.

Technique Name: [Bladed Chains] (Mastered)

Class: [3]

Technique Type: [General Sinner Technique]

Usable By: [Hell Races]

Technique Element: [None]

Technique Description and Effects:
1: The chains of Hell torment the denizens endlessly, so why not share the misery? Learning this ability influences the blades, giving them the ability to cut through anything as easily as a normal spiritual blade can, regardless of the chains not changing in appearance, still as rounded as ever. The offensive stat for the chains is based off either the highest Spiritual stat, or the user's Strength stat, whichever is higher. Chains are unable to cut their owner. This is a passive ability, and is unable to be turned off.

2: Through some heavy handed use of reiatsu, the user can extend and manipulate the chains to do as they please. For strength users, the chains will extend up to thirty feet, and will move at either a speed equal to their speed stat, or at a speed of 600. For spiritual users, the size scales off of their highest spiritual stat. For every 50 they have in their higher stat, the chains can extend another foot, and can move at either 600, or the user's speed. Cost is 100 reiatsu every post.]

How to use technique: [Pay the cost for chains. Cutting power is permanently active]

Technique Drawbacks: [Cost.]

Technique Name: Burning Body

Technique Type: [Body]

Usable By: Hell

Technique Element: Fire

Technique Description and Effects:
Holika’s body becomes immune to flames of lesser beings, having become a source of Hellfire incarnate. At Primera she immolates all non-water based techniques that do not exceed 50% of her highest Spiritual Stat. At Segunda she immolates all non-water based techniques that do not exceed 75% of her highest Spiritual Stat. At Trecera she immolates all non-water based techniques that do not exceed 100% of her highest Spiritual Stat. At Cuartra her body immolates all non water-based techniques that do not exceed 125% of her highest Spiritual stat. She also becomes immune to all Hellfire-based attacks that do not exceed 100% of her highest Spiritual Stat. Holika can be harmed if the OS of a character using any technique exceeds the aforementioned limits at the appropriate stage of release. This includes a fire based technique.

When a non-water based technique meets the above requirements, the heat from her body surrounded the target technique. Her bodily heat then produces flames around the technique, burning it to a crisp and stopping it's motion, keeping it from touching her body. The flames then expunge the technique from existence, burning it to nothing but ashes that fall to the ground after the immolation has been completed.

How to use technique: This technique is automatically activated upon release and costs 50 reiatsu per post.

Technique Drawbacks:
When activated, Holika takes damage from Ice and Water based attacks, taking the damage as if it is an additional 50% of OS damage.

Technique Name: Blazing Weapons

Technique Type: [Weapon]

Usable By: Hell

Technique Element: Fire/Hellfire

Technique Description and Effects:
Holika’s weapons become covered in red flames, making the metal glow red while engulfed in the fires surrounding them. At the first stage the flames are no more than ordinary flames, causing damage to those who come into contact with them. At stage 2 the flames are hotter than ordinary flames, becoming blue and causing damage to those who come into contact with them. At stage 3 Holika’s flames become nearly invisible white flames around her weapons, still afflicting those that come into contact with them, however they cannot be seen on the weapons except by those who have techniques to view spiritual aura or those with energy sensory of at least 200.

At stage 4 the flames are made of her Hellfire, causing similar damage as her aura for as long as they are touching the skin of those with a lower RS than her highest Spiritual Stat. Holika’s weapons also change, becoming covered in black Hellfire flames, leaving the weapons seemingly untouched with the exception of the black and purple flames surrounding them. Those with a higher or equal RS than her highest Spiritual Stat would simply receive damage as if they were normal flames.

At all stages these flames may spread from her weapons and set either the target or the environment on fire. This does not include anything that is non-flammable or water based. The flames will continue to spread five feet per post when the environment is set on fire and the flames are not doused. The damage added to her weapons hitting a target is based on Holika's highest Spiritual Stat.

How to use technique:
Paying 100 reiatsu at form 1, with each form adding to the cost by 50 reiatsu per weapon. As she increases in form she only pays the difference between forms to keep weapons that are already alight lit.

Technique Drawbacks:
The cost of this technique is 100 reiatsu per weapon at base form with an increase of 50 reiatsu per level of her forms. The flames on her weapons can be dosed with water at stages one through three and at the fourth form water and wind based reiatsu attacks may put out the flames.

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

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!")

Technique Name: Hellish Whips

Technique Type: [Weapon]

Usable By: Hell

Technique Element: Explosion/Fire

Technique Description and Effects:
Holika uses her short to mid-ranged hand held weapons, summoning a spark at the tips of them that can be audibly heard. At Segunda level these sparks, when touching an object in either a solid or liquid state, explode in a fire around the tip of the weapon in a ten foot radius. This can cause burns and concussive damage to all within this radial area. The resulting shockwave of the explosion travels at 800 speed, outrunning the average speedsters.

At Trecera the sparks become even more volatile and dangerous, causing even louder pops when summoned to the tip of Holika’s weapons. When used on an object, these sparks produce an explosion that takes up a fifteen foot radius burning objects within the blast with third degree burns. The concussive force at the center of the blast may even disorient those with low level resistances. The resulting explosive shock wave travels at 900 speed.

Finally, at Cuartra the sparks become softer and sound more like a smoldering flame, purple edging the ends of Holika’s weapons instead of the bright flash of the regular spark. When the end of Holika’s weapon comes into contact with a liquid or solid object the explosion radius is twenty feet. The resulting shockwave from the explosion travels at 1000 speed. The damage from this explosion is with her Hellfire, causing blisters to appear on whatever living being is within the blast radius and her Hellfire to burn their bodies.

The blisters, if attacked with this technique successfully a second time, will burst open and feed the flames with the black ichor inside of the blisters. If this technique is used on a target that already has blisters present the blisters will open the first time that the attack connects and produce Hellfire through the black ichor. The resulting burning by hellfire activates Holika's overall ability on the targets body with all included effects.

The damage of the sparks is based on Holika's highest Spiritual Stat for the fire burning and OS for the explosion.

How to use technique:
Activation of this technique is 100 reiatsu per spark summoned at the end of her weapon.

Technique Drawbacks:
The cost of this technique is it’s drawback and she may be affected by the concussive force of her weapon’s resulting explosion but not the fire.

[Rozelyn H. Castellanos]

As sparks collided with Hiyori's armor, she paid it no mind. Given the flares weren't to burn through her defensive abilities, it wasn't something that ultimately bothered the Quincy. She'd be able to deal with it, should something come from those. Though, that wasn't exactly the most of her concern at the moment.

As a series of light pillars spontaneously created themselves around the girl, Hiyori immediately took to the air through Hirenkyaku, sending herself straight upward at 3,000 Speed. The goal was to simply fly out of the way of these lights, doing what she can to clear out. Interestingly enough, it seemed that Holika was following the same strategy there. Riding her own reishi platform into the air, the Quincy took the opportunity to do something rather interesting.

As plates of armor began to shed from the woman, falling back down to the ground like heavy weights, she took a deep breath as her platform had dematerialized. She'd been back to that same lightness on her feet that she very heavily enjoyed; a lightness on her feet that she was going to take advantage of once more, against her opponent while she had the opportunity to.

Piloting another reishi platform through Hirenkyaku while moving a great deal faster than the incoming attacks, Hiyori flew toward the Akki that had sought to remain in the air. Was that the best of choices? The both of them were soon to fight out whether or not that was true. Smirking all the while, Hiyori went in for a strike, the moment that she'd moved upon the Akki.

Swiping her blade directly up in a vertical fashion across the Akki's chest, Hiyori did what she could to strike the woman as hard as possible, once again aiming to bisect her as she could. Though, what Holika likely hadn't prepared for was a rather nasty surprise; if she glanced up, she'd notice very quickly that a hail of katana were now primed and ready to fall, threatening to pierce the woman no matter where she'd moved to.

{Class 1 - Soul - 折れた刃のフィールド - Oreta Ha no Fīrudo (lit. ‘Field of Broken Blades’)}
Serving as Hiyori’s penultimate ability, Oreta Ha no Fīrudo creates a storm of arrows overhead upon activation, peppering a five-hundred foot diameter around Hiyori with hundreds of arrows each post. These arrows, being physical in nature, utilize Hiyori’s Strength to deal their damage. If Shinken is active alongside this property, the arrows from this property can be made into katana as she desires. Hiyori and her allies will not be struck by these arrows, but her foes are not likely to find themselves so fortunate. Arrows and swords from this property will persist after deactivation, but new waves will not fire. Arrows and swords from this property clash at Class 4 while raining, but while Hiyori is wielding these swords, they are Classed as normal.

[Holika]

As the flares flew into their target, firing off on Hiyori and exploding with immense powerful concussive forces, the fire of Hell that spawned from the explosions impacted Hiyori within her armor, causing blisters to flare once again upon her skin. At the same time, as Hiyori rose upwards from the Kido cast by Holika, Holika's chain impacted into Hiyori's chest, exploding with a Hellfire boom of it's own, the flames licking at Hiyori's newly formed blisters and causing them to burst with a black ichor flowing freely. The shockwave might have also given Hiyori pause, the shockwaves of all the techniques possibly rattling her with the immense power behind all of them. But Holika was not concerned with that. She was more concerned by seeing Hiyori brushing most of the powerful attacks doing nearly nothing to her.

Holika recalled her chains, flinging them back to her right arm in order to possibly catch it before Hiyori would get close. But that wasn't the case, unfortunately. Holika witnessed Hiyori rise up at her with such a speed it truly worried her, shaking her again. It was not the first time in this battle that Hiyori was shocking Holika. But at that moment another thing occured, one last boom to mark the occasion of this fantastic fight. Beneath them, with the ground covered in Holika's caltrops that still burned with purple flames, the Hellzone mines that had been planted finally exploded with intensity. The concussive force seemed to ripple the air a bit, all of the heat being released and the ground finding itself with a massive crater being burned into it. And with chunks of Earth also flew upwards in a massive umbrella shape, the caltrops also flew high into the air. 

Due to the small nature of the caltrops, they soared high into the air, reaching all the way to where Holika was hovering, following behind Hiyori with their purple flames. As they reached Hiyori and pelted against her, the black ichor all over her body ignited, turning the skin into a pyre of purple flames lighting the air around Hiyori as they burned into her flesh and ate at her. If Hiyori continued her ascent and did nothing but ignore the flames, she would certainly find her strike to be true. However, that would be very hard to believe for Holika as she knew that certainly some fear of the flame existed in the Quincy's heart. Holika would revel in it, but not outwardly speak or even laugh out loud. She would honestly find herself mesmerized by the flames dancing before her on Hiyori's skin.

[Rozelyn H. Castellanos]

As she closed the distance, watching carefully as a cascade of explosive fury closed in around the girl, Hiyori steeled herself through sheer strength of will to continue pushing through the blast that was to come. Though, she was more than prepared for dealing with her foe's grand-scale attack; she wasn't to be caught off-guard from something like this again, if she could help it. As such, her strike blasted forth with ten times the speed it would've normally been delivered at, utilizing Hirenkyaku platforms in order to propel her strike as fast as she could. As her swords stopped raining from the sky, and chunks of her armor quickly fell off, shedding the added weight, the girl prepared for a decisive strike.

Searing into her flesh at the same time, Hiyori continued to push through, and much like the both of them were sure of, the Quincy struck true. As her slash tracked clean through the Akki's midriff, bisecting her quicker than she had the capability to react to. As the girl cleared through the strike, she held out her hand to the blasts tracking toward her, absorbing the malignant reiatsu into her cross. Within a few short moments, the technique would be completely absorbed within her cross, ceasing the damaging effects.

Turning on the platform she stood on, Hiyori spun, before delivering a punch aimed toward the now-split Akki's head. "Checkmate!" She called out, slamming not only the force of her own punch into the Akki's head, but the raw force of her strike had been increased by the strength of Holika's own technique; absorbed and refired, one might say. Similarly, some of Holika's own Reiatsu was to be leeched from the incoming blow.

As her strike went through, whether it was successful or somehow missed, the girl took the the ground for a short second in order to recuperate. She knew full-well that hellions weren't exactly the most normal of things she could've fought, so she prepared for anything that was to come. For all she knew, this thing was going to attack her from the grave. Regardless, her injuries quickly patched themselves up, thanks to her Bow's capabilities. The injuries hadn't been enough to put the girl down, so she stood valiantly after the punishment that had been inflicted upon her.

{Absorbieren und Nachbrenntemperatur}
Technique Name: Absorbieren und Nachbrenntemperatur (Absorb and Refire)

Technique Class: 2 - 180 TTP

Technique Type: Vandenreich.

Usable By: Vandenreich Quincy.

Technique Element: N/A.

Technique Cost: 600 Reiatsu.

Description: A powerful form of martial combat created for Quincy that draws upon the race's natural affinity for manipulating reiatsu. The user can use their Quincy cross or spirit fragment to absorb incoming spiritual attacks, before launching them back out with a strike, combining the effective Reiatsu Strength of the attack with their physical strength. If Blut Arterie is active, this technique has no initial cost.

How to Use: The user holds out their Quincy cross/spirit fragment towards the attack, absorbing it before striking out with the item that absorbs the attack, sending out the attack.

Incantation: N/A.

Drawbacks: The user will be unable to absorb any reiatsu using either the spirit fragment or the Quincy cross for the post in which this is used. Also, this technique also causes physical strain on the body, and repetitive use will exhaust the user more quickly, and requires at least one point in Martial Arts (Angehen) to perform.

{Verschlingende Streik}
Technique Name: Verschlingende Streik (Devouring Strike)

Technique Class: 2 - 180 TTP

Technique Type: Vandenreich.

Usable By: Vandenreich Quincy.

Technique Element: N/A.

Technique Cost: 0 Reiatsu.

Description: An advanced form of the Quincy martial combat, Angehen, and considered one of the strongest. It is considered one of the greatest weapons versus spiritual beings, and allows the Quincy to 'eat' the beings' reiatsu and even their spiritual form. Every time the user strikes those with spiritual power, the being loses 250 reiatsu and the Quincy gains 125, stored in the Quincy cross or mask fragment, and the person gets slight stamina depletion. For spiritual beings, if they are hit when they have 250 reiatsu or less, their body breaks down and is absorbed by the Quincy into the Quincy cross or mask fragment.

How to Use: The user strikes the opponent, using their Quincy cross or mask fragment to steal away reiatsu on contact.

Incantation: N/A.

Drawbacks: This technique also requires at least a three in Martial Arts (Angehen) to perform. Rei gained this way, however, cannot go past the cap of the Quincy. If it does, they need to use it within 3 posts, or else they explode. The technique is also physically demanding, and as such causes the user to grow tired more quickly.

Technique Class: 4 - 40 TTP

Technique Type: Vandenreich | Angehen.

Usable By: Vandenreich Quincy.

Technique Element: N/A.

Technique Cost: 150 Reiatsu.

How to Use: Create a reishi platform akin to Hirenkyaku over a limb, and send that limb flying forward.

Drawbacks: Requires a 1 in Martial Arts: Angehen, and Hirenkyaku at Mastered. This technique at Learned can be used once per post; Proficient is twice, and Mastery is three. Counts against the user's Stepping techniques per post.

[Holika]

Holika stared at the blitz of explosions, watching as the fire grew and then... suddenly it was gone. Holika watched as the fires were instead snuffed out almost instantaneously and she felt a sting in her stomach. Before she could even react, she felt much lighter and like the weight of her body was so much freer in the air. The pain was so intense, she almost got a euphoric high from it all overloading her mind and she could sense her energy being sapped from her as she was cut. Even her poor wings were split in two by the piercing blade that found it's way passed her defenses. And there was the burnt Hiyori, already regenerating before Holika's eyes. 

Holika tried to reach up a hand to her chest but before she could the fist of the Quincy slammed into Holika's face, causing her to scream out, finally registering the pain fully and flying down to the Earth below, her upper half flashing towards the ground with the impact force of Hiyori's punch. 'Checkmate!' The word repeated in Holika's mind as she slammed to the ground, her right hand buried in her own chest as she started to feel something. Very, very cold. She looked over to the right and, from where she landed, she could see the Quincy had landed and was starting to take a breather. Holika grinned slightly to herself as she tried to think. And then, her final plan came to mind. The world flashed around her, a pitch black explosion on the ground around Holika. 

Between Hiyori's feet, Holika's upper body would return in an explosion of pure terror and screams from the pits of Hell for a moment, with Holika on the ground, her right hand buried in her chest and gripping her heart. "Yeah... you got me." And suddenly, Holika's basalt skin cracked as she crushed her heart of purple Hellfire, her core becoming an explosive burst of energy that sent her rocky skin 100 feet in every direction and attempting to leave the Quincy with a lasting memory of the Akki. That she might have lost the battle but she was not a complete push over. And that she should still beware their power. After sending off the explosion of her Eruption Button, Holika would sigh as she began to melt into the earth, a slimy, gooey molten mess being pulled back into Hell where she would plot how and who next to try to bring down to the pit with her.

Technique Name: [Placidus] (Mastered)

Class: [4]

Technique Type: [Other]

Technique Element: [None]

Technique Description and Effects:
This is the Akki step technique. While Akki can use step techniques from other races, this technique is particularly devastating because it belongs to them. This is the unique Akki ability for stepping.

What this technique does is allow the Akki to phase briefly in and out of their current plain of existence. In other words, they momentarily disappear, blinking out of existence. As they do, a flash of black explodes outwards. Anyone that witnesses them blinking out of existence will suddenly see nothing but blackness for that split second. It is hardly enough to affect the battle, but rather it is theatrical. The Akki, during that brief second, is gone, and cannot be attacked. This is a direct "teleportation," unlike Shunpo or Sonido, which are merely fast movement.

Averagely, this is performed at 15x the user's speed, making it one of the fastest individual steps. It is also known to be able to move forwards within three small steps rather than one. It can also be done for one. If done in three, the same distance is covered in three smaller steps, creating a theatrical flash of black with each appearance and disappearance. Additionally, there is a flash of white light when the Akki reappears and blinks back into existence. Any who witness this flash of light will suddenly see hallucinations of horrible monstrosities and new body features on the Akki in question that uses this technique, and their fear of the individual will increase.

How to use technique:
Like all step techniques, this one requires a simple step as well. It is done for 200 reiatsu per use, which is why most Akki prefer to use the steps of other races. It is an expensive step technique, but is easily one of the most powerful.

Technique Drawbacks
Reiatsu cost.

Technique Name: Eruption Button

Class:

Technique Type: [Body]

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

Technique Element: Fire

Technique Description and Effects:
Holika’s last option, this technique is reserved for the life or death situations that may pervade her course of actions. This technique, once activated by Holika reaching into her own chest and squeezing her Hellfire core until it bursts, exploding the skin from her body. Her body then remains only a molten form, continuously dripping with dangerously hot Hellfire magma. When she explodes the basalt skin she had encasing her fires in a 100 foot radius around her body, burning with her Hellfire aura still attached to the pieces.

At the shortest range, 0 to 10 feet around Holika’s body, they will easily become riddled with Holika’s ballistic basalt and consumed briefly in her Hellfire. The hellfire, if coming in contact with current blisters will activate her overall ability and all effects included. At 10 to 50 feet it becomes a little easier to dodge Holika’s basalt blast and suffer only minimal Hellfire burns. Hellfire burns will cause the same effect as those at a range of 0-10 feet. Any further up to 100 feet and the chance of being hit by the basalt is easily avoided. The Hellfire blast has no chance of hitting an opponent outside of this range. The damage of this ability is based off of Holika's highest spiritual stat. Within the 0-10 foot range it is 1.5x her highest spiritual stat. In the 10-50 foot range it is her highest spiritual stat with no bonus.

How to use technique:
Holika reaches within her own chest, grasping at her internal Hellfire core. She then squeezes until it bursts, causing the outermost layer of her skin on her body to explode outwards, keeping only the molten form.

Technique Drawbacks:
Holika abandons defense with this technique, which can only be used again after 5 posts of cooling her new skin down. During this cooldown she also removes her Legatus Guard until her new skin cools and replaces the destroyed layer. She, during this cooldown, takes double OS damage other than from fire based or other heat related techniques. The cost of this technique is 400 reiatsu.
