Raikiri "I remember..." "My father wielded this sword when he helped seal away a massive beast many years ago, now it's here in my hands to wield for myself. I can't help but shake a little at the thought of using it, but I'll put it to good use. I swear when I laid my hands upon it, I could hear someone calling out." "From what I can feel when holding the weapon, it has a strange resonance with Reikori. Could my father and this weapon really be the same ones that helped seal him away all those years ago, to stop his acidic carnage? "Hitting 2 slashes quickly, then hitting another opponent that is not the last opponent that Raikiri hit seems to empower the blade even more. I can hear the weapon cutting through the static in the air as this happens, gives me chills." "By using my movement and the weapons ability, I can do unique attacks with Raikiri."
