Kavacha

I turned my attention back to the Panoptes as it finished gathering power. I knew exactly how much energy it had gathered and while I was fairly certain it wouldn’t be an instantly lethal blow, an attack like that could very well strip away anywhere from a third to half of my health bar. With Sahasrara active alongside my other defenses, I wasn’t particularly worried about that, though—but then, that why I was testing this against a giant peacock instead of against Ziz. Nonetheless, I prepared myself to take the shot.

There was a moment of silence and then something tiny and unbelievably quick leapt from the tip of the creature’s beak to the center of my forehead. Despite the amount of energy it had gathered, the attack looked like nothing more than a spark of static electricity.

But when it connected, there was a burst of color and sound and light. Power washed over me, shattering the ground beneath my feet, around me, and behind me. Though everything between the Grimm and I went entirely untouched, a trench was carved for over a kilometer behind me as a rush of light swept it away. It was an attack powerful enough that, if not for the effects of the Gamer’s Body and Sahasrara, it wouldn’t have been surprising if my entire upper body vanished despite my defenses.

And yet, I felt nothing.

As the light faded, I lifted my hand and pursed my lips, ignoring the dust and smoke clinging to my skin.

“Not a scratch, huh?” I mused. “As I thought, something like this works pretty well against the Grimm.”

Kavacha (Active) LV1 EXP: 0.00% MP: 100000
The armor of the gods. Rather than a defensive technique, the nature of this skill is one of transmutation—a shift from base material to something more. By using this technique, the user temporarily transforms their entire body into something that does not—and cannot—naturally exist within the Kingdom; a substance which originates instead in the worlds above. Similar in structure to the elements which compose the soul, it is an impossibility given form, and highly resistant to the touch of the mortal world.
Body transforms into the unknown material ‘???.’
Physical attacks that inflict less than 10000 damage after all applicable defenses instead do no damage.
Physical attacks that deal more than 10000 damage reduce their end damage by 10000.
MP attacks that inflict less than 1000 damage after all applicable defenses instead do no damage.
MP attacks that deal more than 1000 damage are unaffected.
Additional 100000 MP used per minute.
