Sword Art Steps:
The First Quarter - Duelling
First Step
A sudden, predatory thrust to seize momentum.
Second Step
A smooth, pivoting slash across the stomach or ribs.
Third Step
Concussive blows aimed at arms, shoulders, and skull to break guard.
Fourth Step
A spiraling upward cut lifting the opponent's stance and weakening their guard.
Fifth Step
A brutal stomp and reversed strike that collapses footing and forces the enemy off balance.
Sixth Step
Two rapid X-slashes batter the guard apart.
On the second cross, blood-energy surges down the blade in crimson flame,
ending in a single downward cleave meant to split the target clean in half.
Seventh Step
A forward thrust followed by a violent upward tear.
A crimson blood-spike erupts from the blade's tip,
impaling foes at range and ripping their stance open.
Eighth Step
After tearing upward, the wielder twists the blade behind the back in a tight, circular motion.
Blood-energy and shadow wrap around the sword like a coiling serpent, forming a vortex of red and black that shrinks inward with each rotation. This step gathers rotational power, blood pressure, shadow momentum, and emotional malice into a single focused point.
The air darkens.
The wielder's shadow stretches unnaturally, causing fear and disorienting the enemy.
This is the moment where the dragon-form begins to awaken.
Ninth Step
The final execution strike.
The greatsword falls in a devastating vertical cleave,
and the shadow vortex from Step Eight erupts into a colossal shadow-dragon whose wings unfurl and a serpentine body coils through darkness its enormous claw rakes downward in perfect time with the blade
Stone splits.
Bone shatters.
The spirit itself is ripped apart.
This is the ultimate killing technique of the Black Dragon Court's first Quarter.
