"Sir Rhaegar!" the other knights shouted, rushing at Taranis from every direction.
"Sword of Thunderbane: Chapter Four: Xuanwu Thunder Bastion!"
The combined attacks of the True Sage Knights were instantly blocked as a turtle shell of golden lightning materialized around Taranis, protecting him from every direction.
The fourth chapter of Thunderbane Swordsmanship was a unique defensive sword skill that could guard against most lethal attacks. It was thanks to this very technique that Taranis had only lost an arm to the cannon blast of Astrid.
However, absolute defense was not the only thing it provided.
"Sword of Thunderbane: Chapter Three: Qilin's Judgement!"
The lightning Qilin bolted out of the turtle shell without any resistance, striking the knights and erupting in a thunderous explosion.
The fourth technique also allowed the user to unleash attacks from within.
