Ace/Abilities

## Battle Prowess

Ace is an exceptionally skilled fighter, his techniques having been forged in the flames of battle and tempered by his master's boundless experience. In battle, as long as his wallet isn't in the line of fire, he will not hesitate to do anything to accomplish his goals. Despite most of his activities not being known, he was still marked as an S-class threat to the Empire, the largest civilization on the continent.

Despite being mostly self taught, aside from a few pointers from his master, Ace has already reached the level of Man and Blade Symbiosis, the highest level of swordsmanship able to be attained under the Divine Realm. This level of swordsmanship also allows Ace to perform a class change, a rare thing that only a select few beings have ever witness. While he is currently still not met the full requirements, once he breaches the level barrier, he would be able to become a Sword Saint.

### Physical Abilities

Despite having many magical means to do battle, Ace relies mostly on his physical prowess to overpower his enemies. Holding the strength of an adult dragon in his body, facing him in melee combat is akin to suicide. Putting a blade in his hand makes him much deadlier, however. While his stats may only double, his battle prowess actually increases manifold. A sword is like an extension of Ace's body, his techniques being able to extract every iota of power that could possibly be exerted.

### Magical Abilities

While his mana pool isn't the most impressive, his innate talents are. With the Mana Scrooge talent at his disposal, Ace is able to cast extremely powerful spells that would normally drain even those with the highest mana pools. His spells are mostly fire based, ranging from coating his blade in powerful flames to throwing a miniature sun towards his enemies.

Since he still resides in the mortal realm, Ace's mana core is only red. It is, however, an extremely bright red core which shows signs of turning orange despite the laws of the mortal realm not allowing it.

### Supernatural Abilities

One of Ace's most peculiar aspects is his luck. When fighting a weak enemy, he may find that a random spatial tear appears in front of him, spitting out cosmic energies and greatly injuring him. On the other hand, when fighting with his life on the line, he could find that an ancient slumbering beast awakened from the battle's aftershocks decides to swallow his enemy whole, while leaving him alone. More often that not, however, Ace's luck will pull through for him in desperate situations. It is unknown why Ace's luck acts this why, the only clue being his Wild Card talent.

### Skills

Ace holds a myriad of different skills for many situations. Most of them being fire related, Ace is restrained to an extent when fighting against opponents who have resistance to the element. Despite this, Ace has come up with many workarounds against such opponents, many of which include slicing them with his sword. Some of his more notable and most used skills are listed below.

* **Fire Manipulation**: Grants the user the ability to create and control fire as they wish. Acts as the basis for the creation of new skills and is the most versatile when it comes to control.
* **Fire Aspect**: Grants the user the ability to coat their weapon in a sheath of flames. The flames do not act to damage the user or the weapon, adding additional flame damage when used against an opponent.
* **Sun Throw**: Grants the user the ability to form a miniature star in their hand. While not being anywhere near as powerful as a real star, this skill is still able to cause extensive devastation to the landscape or anyone unfortunate enough to face it.
* **Heaven's Wings**: Grants the user the ability to form wings made of flame on their back. This ability allows the user to fly at decent speeds or speed up flying if the user already has a similar ability.
* **Mind of Steel**: Makes the user immune to all mind related skills and effects. Can further evolve into **Imperishable Mind** which gives further defences against immunity-bypassing mind skills.
