Kigal-Note

Description:

The Vortigern-style Self-Defense arts were battle arts developed by the legendary Dark Knight, Vortigern Avalar. All arts recorded in this skill are developed by this knight, and due to this is only available to other owners of the Dark Knight class. 

While these battle arts are defensive in nature, they all provide the ability to harm the user's opponents. In layman's terms, it is a collection of counter-focused battle arts.

Various examples of these arts include Critical Counter, a stance-like battle art that improves one's reaction speed for as long as one dedicates oneself to counters and parries, Damage Guard which inflict a certain amount of the damage blocked to any physical attacker in contact with the user, and Crush Parry which destroys a long-range attack and returns the "fragments" to the attacker.

Blot's comment: My, my. To think that a lady like miss Mira would take such a violent, blood-stained skill. 

Mira's comment: Then you think someone like Filyn wouldn't?

Blot's comment: ...good point. Forget I said anything.
