Chapter 39: Duplication (2)
Icebound Technique was such a control-type Arcana Technique
The twelve Sword Servants would be incredibly useful regardless of whether they were fighting alongside each other or supporting others
It was for this reason that Su Chen had chosen a Third-Ring Arcana Technique despite the fact that he had twelve Fourth-Ring Arcana Masters at his disposal
On the other hand, it was because they were Fourth-Ring Arcana Masters that their Third-Ring Patterns were exceptionally solid, and why Su Chen was able to find a technique that they could all possess The unique aspects of their sa Arcana Techniques meant that Su Chen would need to try and find twelve Arcana Masters who had mastered the same Arcana Technique This was no easy feat
Cloud Leopard was a genius when it ca His perception had been honed over the course of many years, but it was for this reason that most Arcana Techniques actually didn’t fit in with his style of battle very well One party was aattacks froe assassin It was very difficult to reconcile the two

Arcana Technique Reversal was a unique Arcana Technique, but it was y Reversal Its use was very simple: it would allow an individual to locally reverse the flow of Origin Energy so that they would be able to push through a wave of Origin Energy
It sounded quite coy attacks wouldn’t be able to send hi; on the contrary, he would be able to utilize this reverse flow of Origin Energy to unleash attacks hiht: 400; border: 0px; font-style: norin-left: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: norn: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transfor: 0px”>This Arcana Technique was quite strange, because it didn’t allow the user to avoid injury, nor would it increase the strength of his attacks However, the user could determine what direction they wanted to fly in - where a fireball would have sent the user flying backwards, Arcana Technique Reversal would allow the user to fly forwards, or to the left or right In that sense, “reversal” was inaccurate as well; the user could choose whichever direction they wanted to the flow to be in
This technique was a bit weak for a Fifth-Ring Arcana Technique, so most people didn’t really find much of a use for it The only reason this technique was considered a Fifth-Ring technique was because it involved control of Origin Energy, which was quite a complicated process In other words, the effect was quite poor, and the cost of learning it was quite high, so the return on investht: 400; border: 0px; font-style: norin-left: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: norn: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transfor: 0px”>To Cloud Leopard, however, this Arcana Technique was extreht: 400; border: 0px; font-style: norin-left: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: norn: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transfor: 0px”>His style of battle was inherently variable and mobile, and his ability to attack fro to deal with for any opponent With Arcana Technique Reversal, Cloud Leopard’s slipperiness would increase even further He would be able to close in on an opponent when he should have been sent flying, and opponents caught off-guard ht die iht: 400; border: 0px; font-style: norin-left: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: norn: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transfor: 0px”>In addition, Arcana Technique Reversal didn’t need to be specifically activated once it was learned; rather, it would become a kind of passive skill that the user could use as they pleased when attacked They wouldn’t be able to decide whether they went airborne or not, but they could decide the direction of their flight If truly e directions in the air, or even draw a syh and your body was strong enough to withstand it
In addition, while Arcana Technique Reversal was active, the user was basically iy around the user was changing directions, and most attacks aimed at the user would be affected as a result However, accidents could still happen, and attacks aimed in a different direction could accidentally be redirected and still hit the user
Because the activation period for Arcana Technique Reversal was so short, this period of “invincibility” wasn’t particularly ih
For the most part, Arcana Technique Reversal was a pretty weak technique, but it was selected because of how compatible it ith Cloud Leopard’s style of coht: 400; border: 0px; font-style: norin-left: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: norn: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transfor Arcana Technique, Elemental Resistance, was very simple It increased the user’s resistance to elemental attacks, but it would also decrease the user’s sensitivity to the ele the power of ht: 400; border: 0px; font-style: norin-left: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: norn: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transfor: 0px”>Most Arcana techniques were elemental in nature Skills such as fireballs, the Icebound Technique, lightning skills, and Wind Blade all were elemental Arcana Techniques, so Elemental Resistance was not very useful to most Arcana Masters It was similarly considered a weak Arcana Technique
