Leap Slash

Technique used by the swordswomen of the Ancient Ruins of Endor where Garen finds the living techniques. Garen learns it after their constant attacks during his exploration of the second floor of the ruins.

## Overview

The last swordswoman’s speed was already faster than his, reaching speeds equivalent to about 20 potential points, this seemed to be the limit, the swordswoman’s attacks came at a jumping curve, and the instant the black sword twinkled, the blade was already on Garen’s body. Garen called this technique the Leap Slash, it was not any particularly special technique, just a terrifying ability born from the swordswoman’s explosive power.

With the price of a deep cut through his shoulder, Garen took the chance to smash the swordswoman to death and win. But he had no choice except to stop as well, waiting for his body to heal naturally. Although he didn’t have his unnatural powers here, making his healing speeds much slower, but the Nine-Headed Dragon’s Heart still had a powerful recovery speed that normal creatures could not hope to match.

After resting in the same spot for three whole days, Garen’s injuries no longer affected him, so he got up and continued on. In these three days, he had also understood the swordswoman’s final Leap Slash. The swordswoman’s body was far from as powerful as his, and yet she could demonstrate such explosive speed. That was how valuable that technique was. After three days of reflection and study, and after so many hands-on fights with the swordswomen, Garen finally understood the key to it.

As an expert fighter who had witnessed many secret techniques, Garen had a far stronger understanding of these secret technique battle skills without any unnatural powers than the Cthulhu King or the Divine God Palace Master. Such techniques naturally held no secrets to his eyes. His powerful Intelligence came into play in a big way here as well, as he successfully analyzed the principles behind the Leap Slash.

This technique could unleash close to 20 attribute points of speed in an instant, but it required a light and sharp weapon, by controlling the weapon and the rhythm of one’s body, using a special blood qi channeling technique, they could gather all the power in their body, and shoot out their weapon as though it was a hidden weapon.

Although this technique was strong, its limit could not go any further than 20 attribute points in speed, and its power was equivalent to a Form Four battle totem outside. Outside, this sort of technique had no meaning, but in here, in the ruins where he could only use his own body to fight, the Leap Slash had a powerful effect.

This technique may have put a heavy burden on the swordswomen, but to Garen, it was easy as pie. He could absolutely use it like a normal technique, such was the power of a strong Vitality. Ever since he entered the ruins, this was his second time reaping rewards from it, the first was learning the Doublecast ability, this time it was the simple Leap Slash technique.

Both of these techniques were things he could use by himself, no matter in what surroundings, with or without totem power or Totem Light, they would not be weakened.
