Subaru



Information Analysis/Extrasensory Perception
Think this is info analysis, but could just be extrasensory perception, Subaru can feel how strong/skilled people are

Subaru: [……It seems like you’re probably not the hunter.]

Masked man: [Hunter?]

Subaru: [It’s a personal matter. By the way…… are you able to do things like crossing a distance instantaneously, or becoming invisible… stuff like that?]

Masked man: [――――]

The moment he asked the question, the man’s black eyes, able to be seen from the gap in his mask, were narrowed.

However, the masked man’s reaction wasn’t one of anger nor one thinking of deserting him, but it was a reaction showing he took an interest in Subaru.

In fact, when the man let out a small sigh with a “Huh,”

Masked man: [Why have you reached an idea such as that? State your reasoning.]

Subaru: [……I was cautious of my surroundings before coming closer to this place, just in case. Of course, I know there’s tons of people who can tear through anything as poor as my caution, but you’re not one of them.]

Masked man: [Why is that?]

Subaru: [I want you to listen without getting mad at me, but I had a lot of opportunities to coincidentally come across a bunch of skilled people, or what you would call superhumans. Comparing you to those crazy guys, I get the feeling from you that you’re…… uh, ordinary.]

If he was talking to a notable warrior, what he said would definitely offend him.

Even so, it was what Subaru felt after facing the masked man in a conversation. He observed that the man in front of him was unquestionably able to use a sword, but his skill was average, having gotten to that point with a certain amount of training.

Looking at him from Subaru’s eyes, who knew people such as Reinhard, Garfiel, Wilhelm, and Julius, he could only say the masked man was inferior when he measured them side by side.- Arc 7, Chapter 2

Extrasensory Perception


An addition to what he already has, he was able to sense danger, and lower his head out of the way of Todd's attack, despite his back being turned to Todd

Jamal: [――, a Witchbeast!? I wasn’t told about it!!]

Having the roaring snake’s malevolence directed against himself, Jamal drew out a pair of swords, his voice trembling with rage. Unexpectedly, he dauntlessly threw himself at the Witchbeast with surprising swiftness, putting his combative capabilities on display.

However, Subaru could not cheer for Jamal’s unanticipated, courageous fight.

Subaru had been meaning for this to happen, having walked in the forest with Todd for a few hours, with this objective.

The soldiers who did not know of the Witchbeast’s existence, and the Witchbeast that was pulled closer to them by Subaru’s miasma. He always made use of Witchbeasts with his body odor every time, but Subaru was also a proud “Witchbeast Master”.

He had multiple accomplishments, enough to fight against Meili with the title of the “Witchbeast Master” on the line.

However, now was not the time to fuss over that.

Subaru: [I should――]

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he would return to the encampment and free Rem.

He tried to make a break for it in order to do so, but felt dread pricking at the back of his neck. Conforming to the frightening sensation, Subaru lowered his head regardless of how ridiculous he would look in the eyes of others.

The very next moment, an axe sliced through the place where his head had previously been, wedging itself into the large tree right beside him.

Subaru: [――kh,]

He would have been dead had he not lowered his head just now.-Arc 7, Chapter 9


Martial Arts

Learned how to fight from Weitz

Vincent: “――Hk, you!”

Subaru: “Schtop beain sho selfesh!”

Biting down without restraint, he engraved the Emperor’s right hand with a bite wound. His right hand, bleeding as he forcibly shook it free, together with the one bearing a wound from the knife, both of the Emperor’s hands were shedding blood.

Causing the great and noble apex of the Empire to shed blood, Subaru would be unable to avoid the death penalty.

Subaru: “That’ll only happen if the country still exists, you stupid idiot!”

Vincent: “What are you… Guh!!”

The moment he had been shaken off, Subaru’s small body grabbed the Emperor from the front, pressed his head against the latter’s abdomen, and clipped his knees. A fighting style he had learned from Weitz, who had devised it himself.

Proceeding to apply Weitz’s teachings even further, he took a mounted position, and attained dominance through street rules.

With the Emperor having fallen onto his back, sitting upon his chest as to weigh him down, Subaru grabbed him by the collar and slammed him into the floor. Were the back of one’s head to be struck over and over again, no matter who it was, they would be knocked-out instantly. However――

A kid key for Subaru is probably needed too, but won't really touch on that till the ap thread.

Beatrice


Density Manipulation

Can manipulate the weight of her target's

Beatrice: “――Vita.”

Beatrice held her hand up to the night sky, and her chanted magic meddled with the rain of arrows, which was released by the People of Shudraq, as the arrows tore through the sky.

Innumerable arrows poured down upon the undead, their weight multiplied several times by the effects of Beatrice’s Yin Magic―― magic that altered the weight of its target.

The increase in their power could be gauged from the spectacular sound that came from each undead as they were pierced into the ground.

Beatrice: “As Garfiel said, there is no explanation for why some zombies crumble, and others don’t, even though the arrows are of different weights and have different power, in fact.”

Garfiel: “If ya make all the arrows heavier, won’t it be hard to tell the difference?”

Beatrice: “Don’t think so lowly of Betty, I suppose. Instead of making all the arrows the same weight, each arrow was tested differently, in fact.”

Beatrice appeared angry, puffing out her cheeks like a little girl, but her reply in an effort to not be treated like a fool was even more foolish.

Garfiel, as a person who could use magic, albeit specializing in healing magic, understood the precision of the magical manipulation that Beatrice was doing.

One could see that what she had just done with magic was of equal difficulty to threading many needles at once without using one’s hands.-Arc 8, Chapter 17

Homing Attack
Her attacks will continue to chase down her target, even when shattered

But, it was different now. Now, Beatrice could fully accept the magnitude of her presence. That was precisely why an “enemy” that took this form, as far as Beatrice was concerned――

Beatrice: “Betty has gotten angry, I suppose!”

As Beatrice howled, she saw Sphinx charging head-on into the unleashed purple arrows.

The eyes of the “enemy” narrowed briefly as she raised both of her hands in front of her face, and white light shot out from all ten of her fingers, clearing away all the Minyas that stood in her way.

With nary a sound of shattering, the deep purple crystals had been blown apart into pieces―― But, that would not be enough to destroy Beatrice’s frustration.

Sphinx: “――Hk.”

Although Sphinx had supposedly dismissed the threat, her expression slightly contorted.

The reason being, the deep purple crystals she had cleared away had turned into flying shrapnel in their shattered state, spreading out and chasing down the fast-flying Sphinx.

Beatrice: “Magic is an eizou, as soon as you think you’ve stopped it, it all goes wrong, in fact.”

However, the crystalline arrow shape that represented Minya was not what was important. It was about the effect of freezing and shattering the time of the person it struck.

Indeed, even if it did not have the shape of an arrow, as long as it pierced the opponent, the form and size did not matter.

Hence, the flying shrapnel of Beatrice, with her competitive spirit alight, would not allow Sphinx to escape. And then――Arc 8, Chapter 19

Sealing
Can seal others with Ying Magic, making their bodies harden like wax, and preventing them from moving or thinking

Beatrice: “But, the strength of that girl will be useful in dismantling the Sacrament of the Immortal King, I suppose. And, in the unlikely event that we need to seal Sphinx, Betty’s strength will be needed, in fact.”

Subaru: “Seal, huh?”

Beatrice: “If Spica’s Authority does not work, there will be no choice but to use a method to seal her moves and stop her rampage, I suppose. If she commits suicide in order to escape, it’ll be the start of a never-ending chase, in fact. In order to prevent that, it will be time for Betty’s magic to come into play, I suppose.”

With one hand holding onto Subaru’s, Beatrice stuck out her other free hand.

As he looked at the round hands of the young girl, Subaru’s mind was filled with a scene as Beatrice spoke about the “Seal”―― the successful capture of the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony, Roy Alphard, at Pleiades Watchtower.

Roy’s entire body had been hardened like wax by Yin Magic, and he was restrained in a state where he could not move or even think.

Subaru: “That’s right, the Witch of Envy was captured via the same seal…”- Arc 8, Chapter32

Al​


Can cause his sword to explode, sending debris flying at his opponent

Witch: [I am surprised that someone would address me by that name. Explanation: Required.]

Having said so nonchalantly, the Witch of Greed easily avoided the dao with minimal movement.

The blade, which had missed its target, sailed in vain past the Witch of Greed without even grazing her.

――And, that was exactly as intended.

Al: [Eat this!]

Immediately after Al shouted in a deep voice, the dao that had missed its target glowed and exploded.

To begin with, he was not so naive as to think that the sword he threw would hit his opponent. In fact, Al was well aware that his attacks would not be effective against most opponents.

That was why Al’s fighting style would not have been worth considering if he had not laid out all of his moves in advance.

Witch: [――――]

The stone dao that had exploded turned into flying debris, mercilessly striking the slender frame of the Witch of Greed.

It was a small explosive projectile, and although the damage would be far from fatal if it hit its target, the way it splintered was designed to cause damage that could not be ignored.- Arc 8, Chapter 65

Sealing

Can seal others away, preventing them from moving and activating their gates to use magic

Al: [――Ol Shamak.]

In response to the incantation spun by Al’s lips from within his iron helmet, the world transformed.

Basking in the unthinkable attack, the Witch, who had become unable to think for an instant, had her whole body entangled, preventing her from moving her body, and halting the activity of the Gate within her body.

This was an anti-Witch trump card that Al had acquired.

Witch: [――ah.]

The Witch fell to the ground with a weak exhale, having lost her freedom.

Constrained by a power that ought to be called by the contradictory expression of black light, her form resembled the chrysalis of an insect. As a matter of fact, the degree to which her movements had hardened was also to that extent. ――Just as had been done unto the most terrifying Witch in the world.

Al: [But, with this… Blurgh.]

Al landed beside the fallen Witch and attempted to look up, but he was struck by a sense of lethargy as he fell to his knees and vomited on the spot.-Arc 8, Chapter 65


Emilia


Instinctive Action
An addition to what she already has, currently she just scales to Al who has this ability, it's stated she normally dodges attacks without thinking, and can also immediately sense which attacks she can't dodge

――The moment the light was released, its power imbued with will, Emilia had a vision of her own Death.


Her competitive spirit was strong, she never lost hope under any circumstances.


For Emilia, who had strengthened her guts with that attitude, it had been a devastating thing.


Emilia: “――Ah.”


In her head, a small Emilia was screaming that she needed to move immediately.


However, her body would not respond with which way she should move, right or left. Even though she would usually move without thinking, she was unable to do so.


The reason for that was that her heart, rather than her head, had immediately sensed that there was no place to escape, be it right or left, be it forward or backward.


Emilia: “Icicle Line.”


So, instead of running away, Emilia had chosen to guard against it―― No, to deflect it.- Arc 7, Chapter 100

Extrasensory Perception
Foiled Sphinx's plan, which even the smartest characters around didn't know was happening due to her intuition

Originally, Sphinx had sneaked into this deserted place to accomplish something. Emilia somehow sensed this and rushed in, which was when the battle began.

That stopped Sphinx from accomplishing whatever she was planning to do.

With this in mind, Emilia, though it not being her forte, was focusing intensely on thoroughly obstructing her opponent.

――Here again, Emilia was making the best of a situation that no one else at the Imperial Capital could.

If Emilia had taken Sphinx’s life, the Witch would have taken that memory back to her soul, recognized the threat Emilia posed, and manifested a new body prepared with countermeasures.

However, Emilia had no intention of killing Sphinx, but only of stopping her.

Therefore, the situation Subaru had named Escape by Death did not occur, and Sphinx would not send a new version of herself as reinforcements against the unshared threat of Emilia.

This situation would not have been possible if anyone else had been there, whether it was someone powerful like Cecilus or Halibel, someone wise like Vincent or Roswaal, or even a cheater like Subaru or Al.

No one other than Emilia could have pinned down Sphinx here.

Emilia: [HIYAAA!]

Emilia, who had managed such miraculous meshing by relying on her intuition, nevertheless kicked the light ball away with her ice shoes without being aware of it――,
-Arc 8, Chapter 71

Cecilus


Resistance to Fear Manipulation
Cecilus is insane, never once experiencing fear since he was born

The boy with a distinctive appearance in his traditional Japanese outfit and zori looked around, and made such remarks while shading the tops of his eyes with his hands.
His lively complexion and blue eyes were those of the living, deviating notably from the most evident features of the undead.
However, his perspective, taking in the chaos of the drastically changed Imperial Capital, was, in some ways, an opinion that was more detached from the living than the typical undead.
Depending on the person, a true transcendent being might be defined as being allowed to have the selfishness to render the distinction between the living and the dead meaningless.
In any case, the boy’s eyes gleamed with a certain brightness that seemed cheerful and yet insane―― not insanity born from a complete lack of fear regarding the current situation, however.
Rather, because he had never experienced fear once since his birth, he harbored a gleam that could be described as insane.
Boy: “Well, repainting the battlefield by single - handedly and systematically cutting down any visible enemies all by myself seems like a denkitekina display of supremacy only I could achieve, but…”- Arc 8, Chapter 35

Information Analysis
Recognized The Witch of Greed, as the same being as Sphinx despite her appearance and soul changing

It happened at the same moment he had thought that.

???: [――It was unexpected that you did not take her life. Reconsideration: Required.]

Suddenly, the voice of a third party interrupted Cecilus and Al’s conversation.

Those who heard the voice faced towards it, and Cecilus slightly narrowed his eyes. ――The owner of the voice was in the air, not in the midst of a jump, but in a state of simply floating there.

For a moment, upon hearing the familiar manner of speech, Cecilus recalled the existence of the Witch whom he had once killed, but present there was not the same Witch in question――,

Cecilus: [――No, you’re the same person. You look different on the outside but you’re the same on the inside… hmm? Perhaps you’re a little different on the inside too? Is such a thing even possible?]

Witch: [If the form and nature of a soul changes, the exterior follows suit. The converse is also true, but… by what sort of principle were you able to perceive that with merely a single glance? Answer: Required.]

Cecilus: [Hahahaha, now that you mention it, I too wonder how I figured that out.]

Without any intentions to provoke her with teasing, and truly just not knowing why, Cecilus smiled.

Only, for some reason he harbored confidence that such was the case at a single glance. That the woman floating in the air overhead, her white hair fluttering, was the same existence as that Witch.- Arc 8, Chapter 64


Garfiel


All these abilities will be for a new key for Garfiel, but that won't be ready until the ap thread passes, so just looking for this to be accepted now.

Accelerated Development (Battle; Physical Statistics, and Abilities)
Garfiel gets stronger and faster in combat

With one fell swoop of his claws, he wrought destruction down upon the tip of the thorns alongside the surface of the rampart, and the sensation of the “insect” screaming within shook Kafma’s brain.
The seemingly endless amount of thorns were part of the “insect” that Kafma had taken in.
Naturally, if they were hurt, there would be a proportionate backlash. They just suppressed it through sheer vitality, to make it seem like there was no reaction at all.
Garfiel: “GAHHHHH!!”
With unstoppable momentum Garfiel stepped forth, and out of the corner of his eye, Kafma slid down the ramparts with the acceleration of his wings, slipping past the fierce tiger.
The impact, a thundering roar, echoed just off to the side, and Kafma was horrified by how much the margin for evasion had been narrowed down.
Every attack was even faster and more powerful than the previous one.
Either one growing in battle, or one drawing on their dormant strength, neither of which was realistic. Almost every change in force that occurred on the battlefield was a reduction in power.
Of course, any perfect condition set up before a battle was lost with every second that passed once the battle commenced, until one’s energy reserves were depleted and the optimal results could no longer be achieved.
That was why, it was important to unleash the greatest firepower and skill within the first move of a battle.
Of course, Kafma was no stranger to this rule, unleashing maximum firepower and fighting techniques on the enemy.
And Garfiel ought to have been the same, too―― It ought to have been that way, so it did not make sense.
Such an increase in power and speed over the course of a fight, regardless of the particularities of beastification.
Kafma: “And you, you must be seriously injured―― Hk!”- Arc 7, Chapter 89


Garfiel never fought a shinobi before, so he had trouble dealing with Olbart's attacks, Roswaal who has, uses his knowledge to tell Garf how to fight. After a short while Roswaal doesn't even have to do that anymore, as he quickly learned how to anticipate Olbart's attacks

A moment later, Roswaal used the sai in both his hands to knock away a kunai238 thrown at him. Seeing a shadow flashing above his head, Garfiel launched his fist in its direction, bereft of hesitation.

There was a ringing sound, and the strike of Garfiel’s fist was met with a kick with the outer part of a foot, delivered mid-flip.

That attack had been unleashed by Olbart, who had ceased his skull-shattering attack on Roswaal’s head. The monstrous old man countered Garfiel’s fists with his legs, all while saying,

Olbart: “Damn, this really is turnin’ out ta be a problem. Ain’t two against one unfair?”

Garfiel: “Don’t try ‘n change the rules now, old fart!”

Olbart: “Kakakakka! I’m free ta say anythin’ I wanna.”

Drawing back his foot from where it had impacted the fist, and using it as a springboard, Olbart leapt towards the back. For a moment, Garfiel was about to step forward to follow up,

Garfiel: “――――”

A shuriken, swooping in from his side, passed right under his nose as he stopped, slashing through the air.

Letting it sail by, Garfiel exhaled deeply. Roswaal, right next to Garfiel, changed his expression as he re-gripped his sai.

Roawaal’s lips curved at the sight.

Garfiel: “What’cha smilin’ at?”

Roswaal: “Nothing, nothing. Well, I was just admiring the remarkable speed of your growth. Even without me saying anything, you’ve managed to anticipate the surprise attack just now. You’re learning things as you fight.”

Garfiel: “You’re sayin’ I’m just bein’ sly, ain’t’cha? And my amazin’ self ain’t gonna be as shitty as you or that old man.”-Arc 7, Chapter 109



Instinctive Action/Skill
Instinctively attacked Olbart who was invisible

Garfiel: “That’s why――”
After handing over the vanguard of the attack on the Imperial Capital to the rebels, Garfiel would begin his battle with the white menace.
Then, it happened right when he had been about to embark towards the bastion where the Dragon was located.

――Garfiel shuddered, as all the hairs on his body stood on end.
Garfiel: “――Hk.”
Free from obstructive thoughts. He was free from obstructive thoughts.
Without hesitation, without question, following the sensation that had brought to the attention of his brain, he unleashed a blow using the full force of his body.
A backhand, a blow of steel able to shatter rock, striking the wind dead, about to hit what lay ahead of his instincts――
???: “――Oh, so ya can see through my invisibility. Isn’t that a bit dangerous?”
Such a hoarse voice could be heard from beyond his strong fist.-Arc 7, Chapter 95



And we have seen the Hornet, who is 9 Divine General level, previously detect an invisible Arakiya. So more consistency. It should also be noted that Olbart's invisibility is so Eugard's curse doesn't affect him

Olbart: “――――”



Narrowing his eyes concealed by his white eyebrows, Olbart held his breath in the Crystal Palace, which he was in the midst of independently infiltrating.



Invisibility that eliminated one’s presence as much as possible, it was something that lived up to the name of the shinobi’s head honcho―― including the fact that he had been picking off the guards without being noticed, there was no way his presence would be caught.



If his presence were to be detected, thereby including him as a target of the Curse of Thorns, Olbart would be made powerless. He was weak to pain. The mere thought of thorns stabbing into his heart made him want to toss in his sleep.



In order to avoid that, Olbart had been taking the utmost care in his movements.



――Invading the Imperial Capital with a select few, they would quickly defeat the ringleader of the enemy.- Arc 8, Chapter 58

While Al, Groovy and Cecilus, while using Werewolves cloak to hide their presence , were affected

Cecilus: “By any chance, is this appearing on the both of you as well?”

Al: “…Yeah. Oi, Groovy-san. I thought we shouldn’t be able to be detected with this cloak…”

Groovy: “… Hk! You gotta be *** kidding me…!”

Al and Groovy seemed to be in the same situation as Cecilus, and Groovy’s discomposure, or rather, his anger was especially quite immense.

Maybe it was because someone had seen through the effects of the fur cloak that he was so confident in? ――No, that was not quite right.

If the other party had located Cecilus and the others, they would not leave the three of them in the state of being a sandwich for so long. Of course, one could also say that these thorns were a warning.

Al: “Doesn’t seem like it. What do you think?”

Groovy: “――It’s an indiscriminate ranged attack. What kind of ******* wanker does that!? Who in the ****’s spilling out such braindead cursecraft…!?”

Groovy’s throat shook with rage, and he cursed the irrationality of the yet-to-be-seen master of the thorns. –Arc 8, Chapter 39


Body Control
His fighting spirit can cause his canines to sharpen

As all the muscles in his body throbbed, his canines were sharpened by a surge of fighting spirit.
The aftershocks from the fighting fissured, upheaving the street, and with his feet firmly plunked down onto it, the vitality flowing in from his soles overflowed in his soul; looking straight ahead, to the skies above, he glared at the majestic figure spreading its wings head - on.
The sound of his blood flowing got faster, the beating of his heart grew louder and more intense, as if it were a large drum invigorating his very existence.- Arc 8, Chapter 44

Vibration Manipulation
Can unleash shock-waves which travel throughout his target's body

As gauntlets of silver rang out, the torso and cranium of the undead standing in the way were pulverized.

Inside the body of every undead there existed a corebug, and without piercing it, causing a fatal wound would be impossible, even if their head and heart were to be blown away. ――In that case, the best choice was to punch in a way so that the impact would spread throughout the whole body.

???: [How ‘bout this!]

Until now, he had been giving priority to swinging his fists with all of his strength and having them hit their targets, and he had not given much thought to the result that would be brought forth after they had landed. But, he revised that way of thinking.

The shockwave borne from the impact of his fist, he imagined it propagating throughout the body of his opponent. By doing so, a change could be yielded in the way his fist was unleashed, and in the result it brought about.

???: [――Hk.]

With a shivering response from its back, the body of the struck undead was smashed to dust, lagging a moment behind the area that had been directly punched. It was proof that the impact had been transmitted throughout the entire body, and that the corebug had been killed.- Arc 8, Chapter 69

Attack Reflection and Power Mimicry
After getting a shounen powerup after being near death (yea seriously), Garfiel comes back, while blocking Mezoreia's attack, also throws it, this being stated to be a tecnique which gives him bad memories

The Cloud Dragon furiously closed in on the bolt-upright Garfiel, and raising up its thick, long tail, it brought it down like a flash of lightning.

The wind generated from the flap of its wings, which it had used to approach, was enough to make it feel as if the likes of Heinkel were about to be blown away. The extraordinary blow from the Dragon aimed directly for Garfiel――,

Heinkel: [――Ah?]

That instant, the Cloud Dragon’s body blurred mid-air, and its entirety was slammed into the protective wall of the Imperial Capital.

Mezoreia: [――Urahwahdah!?]

Turned upside down, Mezoreia’s back crashed into the wall, and it let out a disheveled exhale without understanding what had just happened; sharing that lack of understanding, Heinkel’s jaw was left agape.

It was not clear how it had been done. But, it was clear who had done what.

――Garfiel had parried the blow from Mezoreia’s tail, and had thrown the Dragon.

Garfiel: [Ahh, shit… Now I’ve done it.]

Looking down at his hands, for some reason, Garfiel muttered so in discontent.

Making an expression as if he was digging up an unpleasant memory, he repeatedly opened and closed the hands that had thrown the Dragon, then turned around.

Those emerald-green eyes directly clashed with the eyes of the upside down Cloud Dragon.

And then――,

Garfiel: [Well, never mind. Let’s ******’ do this, round two. ――Sorry ‘bout this, but my amazin’ self’s the only one who’s got a mountain load of support!]-Arc 8, Chapter 54

As it turns out in the past, Garfiel fought Olbart, who used a technique which allowed him to turn the force of Garfiel's own attacks back at him

Garfiel: “That’s why――”
After handing over the vanguard of the attack on the Imperial Capital to the rebels, Garfiel would begin his battle with the white menace.
Then, it happened right when he had been about to embark towards the bastion where the Dragon was located.
――Garfiel shuddered, as all the hairs on his body stood on end.
Garfiel: “――Hk.”
Free from obstructive thoughts. He was free from obstructive thoughts.
Without hesitation, without question, following the sensation that had brought to the attention of his brain, he unleashed a blow using the full force of his body.
A backhand, a blow of steel able to shatter rock, striking the wind dead, about to hit what lay ahead of his instincts――
???: “――Oh, so ya can see through my invisibility. Isn’t that a bit dangerous?”
Such a hoarse voice could be heard from beyond his strong fist.
Garfiel: “Kah.”
At that moment, his backhand blow was supposed to have connected with the shadow behind him.
Undoubtedly, there had been a sensation of something touching the surface of his gauntlet. Nevertheless, a bitter sound escaped his own mouth, and Garfiel stared in shock as his thoughts were struck by an impact.
An impact had struck him in the back. Someone’s small foot or toe had been perfectly placed on Garfiel’s back. An absurd kick―― No, that was wrong.
???: “That was entirely yer own punch. I just let it pass through my body, and returned it ta ya.”
A voice answered his doubt, and every bone in Garfiel’s body creaked as his eyes widened.
Whether it was true or a lie, Garfiel’s vision was greatly shaken as his internal organs and brain were jolted by a force equivalent to a blow using the full force of his body. Cuts, bruises, broken bones, and ruptured organs could all be healed immediately.
Even if he could heal those fully, he could bring himself to a point where he could move through sheer force.- Arc 7, Chapter 95





Priscilla



Extrasensory Perception
Can tell a person's expression without even looking at them, by just their respiration

Subaru: [――――]

Staring at her in exasperation, Subaru’s thoughts were stirred into confusion as stood with arms open wide.

Momentarily forgetting the pain that coursed through his entire body and the need to breathe, a single word bounced chaotically in his empty head, “Why”.

Why, was she here.

Why, had she saved Subaru.

Why, was she able to face Arakiya with such calm.

Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, he could not stop wondering why.

Overwhelmed by endless questions, Subaru felt like time itself had halted. Then, as if to ridicule the motionless Subaru, the woman of “crimson” gave a snort and――,

Priscilla: [What an idiotic visage. Have your eyes been scorched by my nobility?]

Subaru: [――What, do you have eyes in the back of your head?]

Priscilla: [Nonsense. Does it appear like I have such a deformity? I can tell a foolish commoner’s expression just by their respiration.]

Still with nary even a glance back, came a proud retort of the woman―― of Priscilla Barielle.- Arc 7, Chapter 25

Body Control
Despite never learning any martial arts, she can wield her Yang Sword like a master due to having a perfect grasp of what her body is, and how it moves

To a certain extent, the existence of the rampaging dragonkin was a disaster of a kind apart from the catastrophe brought about by the flying dragons.
To be struck by two natural disasters simultaneously, in a single city, was nothing short of a nightmare.
And moreover, of those natural disasters, one was being brought about to destroy merely a single person.
Priscilla: “――――”
Priscilla kicked the ground as if she were dancing, continuously avoiding the attacks in
Madelyn’s rampage.
Although the physical prowess of the dragonkin was not to be underestimated, Madelyn’s fighting style lacked finesse. She had not learned any sort of martial arts. Perhaps, that was because she underestimated humans as inferior.
Priscilla: “Although, I have never learnt the martial arts myself.”
If there was anything Priscilla recalled seeing well, the movements of those that wielded swords would be it. Aside from that, she held a perfect grasp of what her body was, and how it moved.
If there was a reason as to why she managed to handle the Yang Sword like a master, it was precisely because of that reason.- Arc 7, Chapter 56B

Social Influencing
Her words have great power which can force even her enemies to listen to her

To Sphinx, whose lips remained sealed, the imprisoned Priscilla declared thus with boldness.

At Priscilla’s words as she gazed at her, Sphinx displayed a slight frown.

Priscilla’s tongue, with its characteristic sharpness, seemed to be praising the challenge Sphinx had undertaken.

It was as if it was an acknowledgement of the fact that Sphinx’s trial and error had borne fruit.

Sphinx: [――――]

Within Sphinx’s chest, a slight unease was birthed. ――Unbefitting of the Witch of Greed, a sentiment that should have never been, was birthed.

Sphinx: [――. It seems that I should avoid engaging with your explanations. Self-defense: Required.]

Priscilla: [Oh my. As if being chained this way was not enough, you would now turn a deaf ear to mine words as well? If that is the case, there would be no point for your continued presence here, or in keeping mineself alive. In spite of that, why do you continue to do so?]

Sphinx: [As stated, I shall not engage.]

Priscilla: [Hmph, very well. Then, I shall lay everything bare.]

Curving her crimson lips, Priscilla ignored Sphinx’s statement of her intention to not engage.

Her words and tone of voice held great power. Once she would begin to speak, no matter how much one might desire to close their ears to her utterance, her words possessed the power to force one to heed her.- Arc 8, Chapter 65

Julius​


Platform Creation
Can use blankets of air as footholds

Subaru: “Julius! It’s that girl! Seize her!”


Subaru shouted, pointing to the fake Ryuzu in the air, before they had even landed on the ground.


Hearing Subaru’s request, Julius also spotted the girl blending into the night sky. Leaving all questions about who or what she was doing behind, the Finest jumped into action.


Dropping Subaru on the soft soil beneath his feet, Julius’s body was enveloped in the remnants of the blanket of wind, using it as a foothold to leap through the air and advance towards the fake Ryuzu in a straight line.


Because of his extraordinary momentum, the fake Ryuzu also recognized him as a threat.


That instant, he realized that the eyes of the fake Ryuzu shone a brilliant golden radiance even at night, and understood that she was a pale-skinned undead, something he had not been able to recognize from a distance.- Arc 8, Chapter 19

Acrobatics

Twisted himself in midair, and kicked Sphinx

Without any delay, the fake Ryuzu directed her hand towards Julius, and as she was about to unleash an abominable white light at Julius――


Julius: “――In, Ness, lend me your strength.”


A white light, different to the one alight on the fake Ryuzu’s fingertips, made Julius’s whole body faintly luminescent, and in turn, a black light faintly enveloped the fake Ryuzu’s whole body.


The moment it became clear that Yang Magic and Yin Magic were being simultaneously employed by the two Quasi Spirits respectively, Julius’s sword flashed, and the strength drained from the fake Ryuzu’s arm, which had been housing light.


Fake Ryuzu: “Explanation: Required.”


Julius: “I cut the tendon in your shoulder. Of course, it will likely reconnect soon…”


Julius sincerely replied to the fake Ryuzu, who asked the reason for the lack of strength in her arm. At the end of his answer, Julius twisted in midair, and his long, howling leg struck the floating girl, knocking her body to the ground.


At the spot where the fake Ryuzu fell, the ground transformed together with a yellow light. The ground, which had become viscous, softly and deeply received the girl’s body, and then hardened all at once.


As a result, the fake Ryuzu was stuck, as if wrapped in a quilt made of stone.


Julius: “I recommend you do not resist. If you fail to heed this warning, I will treat you as an enemy, be you alive or dead.”


Fake Ryuzu: “――――”- Arc 8, Chapter 19

Halibel


Air Manipulation
His palm strikes can generate wind that turns into a storm

Halibel: “Bein’ someone with immense affection, I can’t help but wonder who that was bad for.”
Mixing his frustration with the purple smoke, Halibel took a deep drag from his kiseru .
The special tobacco dropped onto the bowl burned out in a single puff, filling Halibel’s unusually large lungs with smoke. In the subsequent instant, biting down on his teeth and tossing the kiseru upwards , Halibel in his black kimono tilted his upper body, and the black hair on his back was slashed by the Fiend Sword that was swung diagonally.
Behind him, as the cityscape of the Imperial Capital tilted diagonally in the aftermath of that slash, Halibel’s towering stature stepped forward, along with another three tall figures doing so simultaneously.
Those tall figures were Halibel, each one an exact duplicate of the others.
However――
Eugard: “That acrobatics feat of thine, I have witnessed erstwhile.”
The Yang Sword wielded in his raised right hand descended, and flames covered the path of the four Halibels.
The hue of the scorching flames was too intense, creating a curtain of flames on the street that even appeared white, forcing Halibel and his duplicates to make a choice. Namely, the options were to leap over the flames or to take a detour―― however, Halibel took neither of these two choices, and instead went for a third.
Halibel: “It’s a lil bit different from the trick I showed ya earlier.”
Two of the four Halibels took the lead, thrusting their palms into the rising curtain of flames.
Halibel’s palms, released in conjunction with a step that caused the cobblestones to explode, moved like battering rams that could blow away a poorly constructed castle gate in a single strike. However, these two strikes were stopped just short of the flames simultaneously, and the generated wind turned into a storm, blowing away the fire.- Arc 8, Chapter 50

Regeneration Negation (High-Mid)
Can stop the regeneration of the undead

Eugard: “――I slay thee, O sable wolfman.”
Declaring that any further time was unnecessary, Eugard took the Yang Sword in his hand, and turned his feet towards the rampart.
Then, he aimed to burn the collapsed Halibel to a crisp with a flash of the sword――
he had been unable to do so. Having just attempted to swing the Yang Sword, Eugard’s right arm burst open at the shoulder.
Eugard: “What?”
At the impact that gave him no sensation of being pierced, Eugard raised his eyebrows. But, the pinnacle of his shock lay at what occurred right after―― The arm of the undead did not begin to regenerate.
Having been shattered like ceramic, fragments of his right arm scattered, and the Yang Sword was thrust into the ground.
And then――
Halibel: “――Finally found the deadspot.”
Akin to an exhale, Halibel spoke in a low voice as he stood up from the rampart.
The wolfman, leaning his back against the fissured wall as he stood up, placed his kiseru in his mouth once again.
Slowly, he placed tobacco into the bowl, snapped his fingers to set it alight, and breathed the smoke into his lungs. While beholding that action, Eugard placed his hand over the injury of his right arm which was not recovering.
The arm that had disappeared from his right shoulder onwards showed no signs of starting to regenerate.
He clearly understood. Eugard’s right arm had been the first part of his resurrected body to die anew.- Arc 8, Chapter 50

I will expand of the undead's regenerate later down this post.

Earth Manipulation
Can soften the ground, preventing others from moving

Viva: [――――]

Despite this, Abel had skillfully cut off the head of the person he had named with the Yang Sword.

Naturally, the merciless power of the Yang Sword would set the soul of his opponent ablaze. ――To what extent they would suffer was something that Subaru did not know, having never experienced his soul being burned.

However, the fact that he used the Yang Sword to cut down an opponent who could have been defeated without causing them to suffer was a clear indication of Abel’s anger towards the other person.

???: [Scary scary. But, I can relate ta what Emperor-san’s feelin’.]

Commenting on Abel’s sword strike, which could have been described as an execution, Halibel opened his thin thread-like eyes slightly as he slid through the enemies, his golden pupils seemingly gliding in the air.

Standing in the way of the slickly moving Halibel were the deformed undead, whose bodies seemed to have been modeled after creatures with long arms and legs, but they proved to be no match for Kararagi’s strongest.

Their elongated arms and legs were mercilessly broken, and all ten or so bodies were buried up to their waists in the ground that had become soft as if it had melted, rendering them unable to move.

It seemed like something similar to the Earth Release jutsu, and how it differed from magic was not clear.-Arc 8, Chapter 66

Power Nullification
Neutralized Sphinx's attack

A quiet voice announced the Witch’s entry into the battle, and Al and the others looked up to see a scene of swirling lights in the sky. It was as if the vortex of light had some kind of gravitational pull, with the surrounding buildings and debris floating up, being swallowed by the vortex, and then crushed and turned into specks of light.

The power of destruction was felt in the specks of light themselves, and all it needed was the Witch to speak, and they would raise the ground――,

???: [――Halibel-sama, please would you kindly,]
???: [That’s fine. I’m always happy ta help a hard workin’ girl.]

Suddenly, two different voices were heard, and in the next moment, a cannonball in a kimono――no, a deer girl, flew by.

The girl spun herself in the air and kicked the Witch’s back just as she was on the verge of raining down the specks of light. The momentum and force of the kick shattered the poor Witch in half.

Halibel: [Yep yep, that’s a great feat. With a girl like you, the future of the Empire’ll be in good hands.]

With the same momentum, the girl was about to dive into the vortex of light but was saved just in time by the jet black wolf man.

The wolf man neutralized the vortex of light the Witch had prepared with a quick piercing hand, softly catching the girl with the same hand before he landed to the ground.-Arc 8, Chapter 74

Illusion Creation
Halibel can create optical illusions

In front of Eugard as he muttered so, the figure of the wolfman faded like mist.

Combining a peculiar walking technique with an unbelievable movement speed, an optical illusion occurred in a form differing from that of the clones. At the sensation of afterimages being left in his consciousness, Eugard could not help but admire that versatility.

However, there was no need for him to be deluded by such a cheap trick. The approaching presences were from directly above, and from his left and right; at the signs that lethal strikes were furiously closing in, Eugard turned the other way, utterly undaunted.

Then, going half a step further than last time, he stepped towards the rear.

Eugard: “Thou plainly scatterest thy presence―― Ergo, the direction bereft of any presence is where thou truly residest.”

Halibel: “Guh.”

His angle of turning around had been insufficient, but still the bottom of the Yang Sword’s hilt sunk into Halibel’s side. The moment he received the sensation of his opponent’s bone shattering, Eugard immediately channeled heat into the Yang Sword’s blade―― the yielded explosion allowed the bottom of the hilt to bury itself even deeper, crushing Halibel’s insides. –Arc 8, Chapter 50



Groovy​


Extrasensory Perception​


An addition to what he already has. Groovy can smell the intent of others

Groovy: “…So, you’re tryna say that you ******* dumbasses had no choice but to drink up all the booze that the dead left behind?”

Blue-Haired Man: “Deary me, it’s a bit embarrassing but you’re exactly right! We were bored, so we ended up betting on whether the next lump of earth that came through the door would be a man or a woman.”

Smiling like a fool, the blue-haired man divulged the particulars of a bet that would make one forget that this was a time of emergency.

Those particulars were nonsensical, but Groovy could not tell if they were gambling with the alcohol that did not really belong to them, or if it was with their own lives on the line. Wherever these men lived or died was all up to their own whimsy. However――

Groovy: “――I really don’t ******* like this.”

Blue-Haired Man: “Heh, what’d’ya mean?”

Groovy: “Bastard, you got the nerve to get on your knees and offer up your katana, acting like you got no ******* intention of fighting, but my nose can’t be ******* fooled… Don’t ******* stare at me with that murderous intent, ******* hell.”- Arc 8, Chapter 21

Acrobatics
Kicked walls, and roofs of buildings, bouncing with great vigor

Cecilus: “You can win, can’t you?”
Groovy: “At least I’ll make time for you, the ******* idiot, to do your work. Who do you think I am? I’m the amazing Groovy Gumlet, Sixth of the Nine Divine Generals.”
Raising his arm, so Groovy conveyed the basis of his confidence to Cecilus, speaking over his shoulder.
This seemed to have resonated particularly well with Cecilus. He let out a delighted snort that was obvious, and without even looking,
Cecilus: “Well, have fun. Next time we’ll meet with the Fiend Sword!”

With the leading actor’s familiar, florid speech, Groovy kicked off the cobblestone pavement and headed off to the battlefield.



――After parting ways with Cecilus and Al, Groovy, now all on his own, leapt his way across the Imperial Capital.
Regardless of being out in the open, he sailed past the streets, kicked the walls and roofs of the buildings, and bounced with great vigor.
From here onwards, unlike covert operations that he might have performed by wearing the pelt of a werewolf, he had to garner the opposition’s attention by purposefully making his move in dramatic fashion.- Arc 8, Chapter 41


Homing Attack

His blood hatchets continually chase his target

Eugard: “――――”


Eugard frowned slightly, evaporating the mist of blood with the flames of the Yang Sword.


The blood contained the poison that Groovy had taken in, but even if one were exposed to it, the damage would be negligible. The goal, however, was not to poison his opponent.


It was to apply Groovy’s blood―― It was successfully applied to his sleeve, which he could not shake off.


Groovy: “Like fish in a ******* barrel.”


Immediately after, Groovy smiled, his bloody fangs showing. Around Eugard―― the countless hatchets he had dodged so far drew close to him, as if pulled by a string.


Using Groovy’s blood as a medium to acquire its target, it was a guided tomahawk application of Curse Tool known as “blood hatchets”.


Eugard: “This is…”


Eugard dodged the incoming blood hatchet, but then his eyes widened as he saw it circle around and come back again.


Eugard, with his incredible physical prowess, dodged, dodged, dodged, and continued to dodge the storm of blood hatchets coming at him from all directions, but unless he knocked them down, they would eventually catch up to him as they came flying at him endlessly.- Arc 8, Chapter 48

Sphinx


This is all for a new Arc 8 key for her

Restoration
Sphinx technique which she uses to create undead uses the sacrament of the immortal king and restoration magic, which restores damaged objects

Beatrice: “Essentially, Emilia and Garfiel are about the same in terms of their comprehension, in fact―― Now we know the structure of the zombies’ bodies and the shikake9 behind it, I suppose.”


Garfiel: “Like I asked, the **** does that mean?”


With gnashed teeth, Garfiel posed a question.


Garfiel was already aware of the existence of Restoration Magic. Magic that could restore damaged objects, of which he had heard could even restore burned books from ashes when employed by its best practitioners.


However, it was said that there were few users, and that there were also noticeable shortcomings, such as the need for exquisite magical precision and the tendency for restored items to deteriorate in quality.


And above all, life could never be restored―― This was not restoration nor repair, but the forbidden realm of something like the Sacrament of the Immortal King that had been brought up a few times already.- Arc 8, Chapter 17

Beatrice: “The cause of your hesitation, is it related to Mother, I suppose?”


Roswaal: “…Am I that easy to read?”


Beatrice: “Only matters related to Mother can upset you so much, in fact. Also, more recently, about Ram, I suppose.”


Roswaal: “I’m confident I’d be overcome by emotions if something happened to you as well.”


With that, Roswaal, who had responded with a wry smile, closed his eyes firmly and tightened his cheeks. Then, having pushed aside the hesitation and weakness from before, he opened his eyes and nodded.


Roswaal: “Beatrice’s observation is correct. The mechanism by which the zombies are revived without the original corpse is an application of Restoration Magic. The prerequisite for this is the invocation of the soul, which is an application of the Sacrament of the Immortal King.”


Beatrice: “Both Restoration Magic and the Sacrament of the Immortal King aren’t the kind of techniques that can be used immediately upon understanding the theory, in fact. To begin with, given the feat of combining such fundamentally different types of magic, it can’t be said that there are even a handful of geniuses who can do it, I suppose. Those who could do it would be…”


Roswaal: “――Of Teacher’s lineage. However, it cannot be Teacher. Therefore…”


The “Teacher” that Roswaal spoke of and the “Mother” that Beatrice spoke of were the same person, and by no means could it be said that that person was completely unrelated to Garfiel.


Although it could be confusing because there were multiple people with the same name, upon hearing the name of the Witch involved, Garfiel immediately understood.-Arc 8, Chapter 17

It's said here only a handful of genius could pull this feat off, so her intelligence should also be upgraded to Genius. Echidna should also get restoration, and probably Roswaal, since he is her equal.

Clairvoyance
Projected the view of the Imperial Capital despite being far away

There was a reason. A reason that had become the origin of the Great Disaster.
Sphinx: “Earlier, you spoke of an interesting subject.”
Priscilla: “――――”
Sphinx: “All forms of life are slaves to some sort of greater entity. In the past, I have not been able to understand this, but currently, I am sensing the signs that will guide me to my understanding.”
Sphinx started, seemingly finding the topic interesting, and Priscilla responded to her words with her silence.
She was not scorning her, nor was she ignoring her. If she were to put it into words, it was a type of curiosity that must not be trifled with. Sphinx had begun speaking while mentioning that she found it interesting, and her speech itself was what Priscilla was deeply fascinated with.
The Witch had expressed her understanding of something she previously could not fathom, and even showed her agreement with Priscilla’s words. What was she planning to talk about?
Sure enough, in front of Priscilla, who prompted her to go on with her silence, Sphinx resumed her speech.
Sphinx: “Because of this, I am able to discover a new rationality in the midst of all the irrationality. Attention: Required.”
She said, then struck the end of her glowing staff against the floor once more. The staff, with a glorious jewel inlaid into it, grew glaringly brighter, and during the moment,
a change had occurred to the surface of the jewel.
――The view of the Imperial Capital, outside of the dungeon, had been projected onto the pale, transparent jewel.
Perhaps its principles were similar to how a Conversation Mirror would emulate the reflection on the other side over the face of the mirror. Priscilla felt that such a formula seemed rather grandiose to only be used for gazing at something from a distance, narrowing her eyes through the light.- Arc 8, Chapter 42


Martial Arts
Sphinx is skilled in martial arts

With an agility that resembled the hunting style of a cat, Spica closed in on the Witch, but rather than the claws of a cat swinging its paws, she had the might of swing from a lion, or a tiger, or perhaps even a bear.

It was the kind of blow that, if received directly, would make a mess of even an undead warrior in a single hit; without sparing any quarter, Spica had pummeled that into Sphinx’s slender body――

Sphinx: “I am surprised. It seems that you have specialities that lie outside the realm of meddling with souls.”

Spica: “Aa~u!?”

Sphinx’s quiet analysis overlapped with Spica’s high-pitched voice of astonishment.

Spica’s astonishment was natural. The blow containing all of her might had indeed been delivered to Sphinx. However, with the single arm Sphinx had raised, she had skillfully parried it.

With her blue eyes wide-open, Spica stared into the golden eyes of the Witch,

Sphinx: “Were you taken aback? My defeat in the Demi-Human War was partly because of my inexperience in martial arts. Taking that into account, I began learning from square one. But then again――”

Spica: “Uu!?”


Sphinx: “There is a limit to the enhancement of abilities that can be yielded through the Flow Method for this replicant body.”


While speaking, Sphinx used the momentum from her parry, and threw Spica down by her head.


That elegant movement and technique were not something that had been acquired through half-hearted training. As the Witch had confessed herself, she had used her former defeat as a resource to learn from.

Spica: “Uu!?”- Arc 8, Chapter 59

Duplication
Can make copies of herself

The next moment, right before Spica’s fingers could make contact, the crystallizing face of Sphinx evaporated―― the fired white light blew off the Witch’s cranium, crushing Subaru’s plan.


Everyone: “――――”


Sphinx had been thoroughly killed from the side, and Subaru’s group had their breaths taken away. The Sphinx before their eyes crumbled, and promptly turned to dust.


And, the one who had done that was――


???: “From how it appears, I have concluded that this was an exceedingly perilous scene. Respondence: Required.”


???: “The effects of the Sacrament of the Immortal King are useful, but when that usefulness is experienced, it is irritating that information cannot be immediately shared on the spot. Improvement: Required.”


???: “Before that, I suppose we ought to give priority to eliminating them. Counteroffensive: Required.”


At the bustling voices heard in quick succession, Subaru clearly felt Spica’s body stiffen through his shoulder. Likely, Spica also felt him do the same.


It was only natural that they experienced that level of shock.


???: “――Combat: Required.”


???: “――Combat: Required.”


???: “――Combat: Required.”


After all, having disposed of the cornered Sphinx, several uninjured Witches, several uninjured Sphinxes, had gathered together.- Arc 8, Chapter 59


Spatial Manipulation
Has a dead man's switch which activates upon death, twisting space, blowing an entire area

Cecilus: [Hey hey Al-san! What are you doing getting in my way all of a sudden? That was supposed to be the stylish scene where I show off my abilities after being underestimated at the beginning! Even the audience is booing me!]

Al: [Sorry to steal your spotlight, but I can’t let you do that. After all, if I let you do that, everyone… or, at least, I’d be wiped out.]

Witch: [――. Hmm.]

Cecilus stomped his feet on the ground in protest, to which Al replied, causing the Witch to let out a sigh.

From that single comment, the Witch seemed to have realized that Al had seen through her trap―― a technique that distorted space, blowing away an entire area as it recoiled.

As soon as Cecilus would cut off the Witch’s head, causing the power maintaining the twisted space to cease, a dead man’s switch would be triggered―― rather than detonating upon the press of a button, it was a trap with the same mechanism as a bomb that would be triggered by the release of a button.

It was a power that Al could not withstand, regardless of how many walls of earth he erected or how much armor of stone he wore.- Arc 8, Chapter 65

Relocated her dungeon to another dimension

Priscilla: [The ruination of the Empire resulting from the death of the Stone would not serve your goals. And that is because ultimately, it is not your desire to take mine life here. Consequently――]

Sphinx: [Consequently?]

Priscilla: [――Mineself is not being held within the dungeons of the Crystal Palace.]

The reason why Sphinx continued to layer on measures to bring about the Empire’s downfall, was because she was convinced that all of that destruction would not reach Priscilla.

Destroying the Empire while keeping Priscilla alive. ――The method to fulfill these conditions was straightforward.

Priscilla: [――――]

Despite that being certain, and even after examining her surroundings, she found no discrepancy between the dungeon of her memories and what stood before her eyes.

During her time as Prisca, she had only visited the Palace’s dungeons on one occasion out of curiosity, but this dungeon, which exactly replicated that of Priscilla’s memories, was probably a wholly different space.

The very space of the dungeon itself has been relocated to a place unrelated to the destruction of the Vollachian Empire―― a kind of different dimension, and Priscilla was placed as an observer of the battle-torn Imperial Capital.

The evidence of this was that, at some point, the tremors of the fierce battles unfolding in the Imperial Capital had ceased reaching the dungeon.- Arc 8, Chapter 70


Vibration Manipulation
Can combine magic and martial arts, causing her palms to vibrate and shatter her target

Cecilus Segmunt had slayed the star.

In the likeness of the Witch of Greed, the one behind the curtain who had employed a forbidden magic that was a specialty of that same Witch, was now wide-eyed at the same reality Al had witnessed.

It was no easy feat to make a star fall.

Even the real Witch of Greed had said that she would not want to make more than one fall in the span of a day.

In other words, she could not fire more in succession.

Al: [OHHH――!!]

In a world where the light of the sundered star painted the sky white, and where even all semblance of sound had vanished, Al raised his voice to rouse his own spirits, making his approach towards the midst of the sky using stone pillars that he was creating as footholds.

A star had fallen, that star was slain, and thus, approaching the Witch who had ceased her movement in surprise――,

Witch: [It is true that I was surprised. However――]

The stone dao which Al had thrusted forth as he lunged, was crushed in the palm of the Witch. The wind enshrouding that palm had vibrated immensely, a combination of magic and martial arts capable of shattering its target.

If a direct hit had been made, the magical technique would have shredded flesh, bone, and everything else into pieces.-Arc 8, Chapter 65

Giver her all Echidna's abilities
Sphinx as the Witch of Greed, has inherited Echidna's knowledge and can use her techniques

The Sphinxes, resurrected from the same soul, were all independent, and did not share in the same consciousness.

Hence, among the Sphinxes, serving as the Witch of Greed, who had manifested as seven total bodies, the only one who knew that Priscilla had seen through their intentions, was the one directly facing her.

However, that would not have had any influence upon the intentions of the seven Sphinxes.

That was because it was a stratagem that had been formulated under the assumption that Priscilla would have seen through their intentions from the start, correctly guessing them.

The one that had verified Priscilla’s answer was just the one facing her, but Sphinx could not help but admire her abnormal insight, having guessed almost everything correctly.

As she had said, several Sphinxes were sharing Mana through the source of one soul, so the more of herself she multiplied, the amount of Mana that each individual Sphinx could use would decrease.

Due to this battle, which had raged on for several days with no respite, the reality was that all of the Mana that she had remaining was not reliable enough to utilize large spells such as Al Shario, which had already been employed to bring down a star.

Of course, simply making use of large spells was not how a magician displayed their talents.

For Sphinx, who had inherited knowledge as the Witch of Greed, there were a myriad of small techniques she could employ that did not balance the degree of Mana used with the scale of results.

However, it was also true that for any such small techniques, there were extraordinary, transcendent beings who could hold them back.-Arc 8, Chapter 70

Within the Imperial Capital, enclosed by star-shaped ramparts made up of five bastions, exactly inverse to those five bastions, a magic circle had been laid out in the form of a five-pointed star―― the Sphinxes whose duty it was to activate it, while suspicious of the imperfect activation of the technique, were receiving its effects nevertheless.

The effect of the magic circle, its target was the magic crystals of the defenseless Crystal Palace.

Deconstructing the enormous mass of colorless Mana, the Witch, Sphinx, had plotted to take it into her own Mana-drained soul, thereby gaining immense power.

Now that she had succeeded in reproducing the soul of the Witch of Greed, Sphinx wielded the same power as her creator, who possessed knowledge of all kinds of magic. If only she could just secure the Mana for that purpose.- Arc 8, Chapter 71

Large Size (Type 1)

Her golem's height matches its sword which is 50m tall

That act had been performed by a pillar of magic crystals held in the arm of the Giant Magic Crystal Soldier.

It was one of the pillars that had been constructed around the Crystal Palace at a height matching that of the Giant Soldier’s, and as it was transformed into a deadly greatsword with a blade of fifty meters, its sense of scale was such that it would not lose out to the Yang Sword.

However――,

Sun Princess: [Very well. Flashiness is to mine liking.]

Thrusting the Yang Sword into the blade of the brandished magic crystal greatsword, the Sun Princess rode upon it.

The swung tip of the sword was raised to a height of over one hundred meters off the ground, so she glared into the head of the Giant Soldier――the former battery of the Magic Crystal Cannon, and the site that had become the current throne of the Witch.

The throne had become like a closed flower bud of magic crystals, and she was unable to make direct eye contact with the Witch.

In that case, until she could tempt the Witch to look at herself――,- Arc 8, Chapter 74


General Additions​



Roswaal, Sphinx, Echidna​

Not going into all the verse specifics here, but essentially these characters are all equivalent in terms of magicial capaibility

Roswaal is shown to copy Balleroy's technique while fighting him

That instant, the fired Magical Bullet flew straight, thoroughly destroying the ice spikes that were threatening to pierce the falling Medium. And then――

Roswaal: “――The cause of your defeat, was that you wavered when it came to what was most important.”

Together with the unfeeling voice of the man, a Magical Bullet fired by his opponent pierced Balleroy’s chest, along with the wing of his beloved dragon, bringing this battle of sky to its conclusion. –Arc 8, Chapter 53

Roswaal also copied Julius technique

It was an original magic that had been devised by Julius and his Spirits, and reproducing it required an abnormally large amount of mana consumption, even for Roswaal.

Roswaal was capable of using several types of magic at the same time, but utilizing all six types simultaneously was an act devoid of sanity.

While hearing the sound of his own gate screaming from within him, Roswaal still recreated Julius’s victory condition in order to raise his own chances of winning.-Arc 8 Chapter 53


Al and Subaru​


Fate Manipulation

Al and Subaru's ability allow them to twist destiny and break through inescapable fates

――Aldebaran and Natsuki Subaru.

Priscilla’s laudable clown and the Knight of the half-devil who, despite being somewhat loathsome, had been named as a Royal Selection Candidate.

Like Sphinx’s perceived threat, Priscilla also understood their struggle―― She understood the very fact that they twisted the destiny of the stars that could only be described as something more than a trivial matter.

Priscilla: [What in the Witch’s… Nay, what in the heavens are you both deceiving?]

Sphinx, the mastermind behind the Great Disaster, was not half-hearted in the numerous artifices she had laid out.

The undead army created with the Sacrament of the Immortal King, the use of the Stone Muspel to realize them, the second coming as the Witch of Greed who managed to evade the flame of the Yang Sword once before, the murderous intent toward Arakiya who shared her destiny with the lands of the Empire, the starlight and the Magic Crystal Cannon, the subsequent overload of the Magic Core, the deployment of the magic circle to utilize the magic crystals, and the staging of the plight of the Fortified City――.

Who could have predicted that such well-orchestrated plans would be foiled at every turn?

For the Wise Emperor Vincent Vollachia, for his right-hand man Chisha Gold the White Spider, and for none other than Priscilla Barielle, it would have been impossible.

The ruination of the Vollachian Empire ought to have been inescapable.

It ought to have been inescapable, if it were not for those who broke through that dead-end of fate with an unthinkable power.-Arc 8, Chapter 72

Yang Sword Users


Spatial Manipulation

The Yang Sword can destroy alternate spaces/pocket dimensions

Sphinx: [――Retreat: Required.]
Sphinx: [――Retreat: Required.]

To begin with, the situation had never been one with balanced scales.

The reason for which she had been created, she reaffirmed her perception of it. What was required of her was the second coming of the Witch of Greed, and she was certainly achieving that.

Painting over her current self as Sphinx, by becoming the Witch of Greed, Echidna――.

Sphinx: [――Retreat: Required.]

She would be remade. With that, her purpose of creation would be fulfilled.

With the disappearance of Sphinx, and the revival of Echidna, her days of obsession lasting over three hundred years would come to a close.

To desire anything more than that would not be rational. It would not be rational. It would not, be rational.

Even though it would not be rational――.

Sphinx: [――――]

That instant, a hoisted Yang Sword unleashed a dazzling scintillation, displaying their own presence throughout the entirety of the Imperial Capital.

Having scorched through the alternate space, having forcibly made a return to the skies of the Imperial Capital, having surmounted the future that ought to have torn her limb from limb as if it were only natural, it was a provocation appealing to the Witch, who had decided to retreat.- Arc 8, Chapter 73

Resistance to Durability Negation: the Yang Sword

Julius couldn't cut through Lamia's Yang Sword
Tearing through the dust of the Pruning Corps, which he had cut down, the thrust of the Knight sword, clad in rainbow as it was, was unleashed upon Lamia. Housing an aurora, Julius’s sword thrust even cut through the great shears of the powerful soldiers, as if they were pudding.
However, the Yang Sword held by Lamia released a light and heat more intense than the brilliant rainbow of Julius’s sword, and halted the blow from the thrusting attack head-on.
As light erupted upon the clash of sword on sword, Julius and Lamia both repelled each other.-Arc 8, Chapter 28

Previously this ability by Julius was called a certain death blade

The black, overwhelmingly violent torrent bore down on them head-on, but the rainbow aurora slashed it apart.

“—!”

The sword’s wielder lashed out, slicing down the oncoming evil black hands one after another. The process repeated dozens of times over.

Julius’s rainbow-gleaming sword was an enchanted, certain-death blade imbued with the magic of the six elements. It could even rend Petelgeuse’s Unseen Hands asunder; dispersed into mist, the shadows dissipated and vanished.

Subaru didn’t understand the principles at work. But perhaps it was difficult to reconstitute Unseen Hands severed by the rainbow, for the shadows grew thinner as the sword blows swept away the evil hands; Petelgeuse’s rage grew thicker in their stead.-Volume 9, Chapter 4

Also stated previously stated that there is nothing it can't cut

If you’re going to be so kind as to underestimate me, I’m more than happy to take any advantage. Your sword is mine.”

Cecils watched in amazement as, with a loud crack, the katana in his hand shattered. Tossing aside the broken half of his sword, the young man mouthed a silent word of surprise. Cecils was looking at the weapon that had intercepted his katana; Julius’s saber was shining with a multicolored light.

“That might be the strangest and most interesting thing I’ve seen in my life!”

“This is the spirit sword Al Clarista. It’s missing a hue, but there’s nothing this light cannot cut.”-Ex Novel 4

Explosion Manipulation
Can cause explosions

Kicked in the back, Eugard floated in the air and as he was pounded by Halibel from all directions. From all sides, there were mirror images of wolfmen who swung their hands in karate chops. Eugard, however, was not about to let himself be defeated, and used the Yang Sword’s pulverizing ability against them.
In essence, in the explosion of the atmosphere caused by super-rapid heating, their movement would be disrupted.
The bright, red-hot Yang Sword spun in the explosion, and Eugard’s slash circled in the air as it cleaved all four Halibels in half.-Arc 8 Chapter 50


Dragons

Enhanced Senses


Dragons can sense mana

The eyes of the Cloud Dragon, retaining the form of a dragonhusk constructed with a large volume of Mana, perceived that Mana was flowing from the ground into Garfiel with abnormal vigor.-Arc 8, Chapter 55

Body Control/Temperature Manipulation For Flow Method Users

Dragonkin and dragons can generate intense body heat


Madelyn: “Shut the frig’ up! Don’t friggin’ address this dragon so casually!!”

Emilia’s last ray of hope faded into the distance as her outstretched hand was violently shaken off.

Even though Madelyn had lost the Flying Winged Blade she was able to wield with remarkable skill, Emilia’s silver hair was still disheveled as she leapt away in evasion. A small shadow followed right behind her―― that of Madelyn Eschart, who let out a white exhale as her golden eyes were set ablaze, the ground cracking with every step she took as she brandished her arms that wrought destruction.

Narrowly avoiding it, Emilia bit down on her molars.

The tactic of rapidly lowering the temperature had served its purpose of keeping the rampaging Madelyn and Mezoreia away from the others on the battlefield, but it was difficult to push it any further.

Madelyn: “human, human, human…!!”

A wicked glint in her eyes, Madelyn’s petite body was cloaked in white steam. It felt like she was matching the cloud-wreathed Mezoreia, but there was a difference.

Madelyn’s body temperature was so absurdly high that every single snowflake evaporated upon coming into contact with her―― no, that happened before they could even reach her.

The same thing was also happening around Mezoreia, the “Puck Copycat” tactic was not really effective on these two.-Arc 7, Chapter 100

After posting this it as brought up, that we have seen other characters do this such as Garfiel rasing his body temperature

As Garfiel emphasized and asserted his anger, Subaru’s rebuttal was way out in left field. It was so unexpected that Garfiel could only gape wide-eyed at him.

However, he immediately bared his fangs, the notion that he was being mocked igniting his anger.

“Looks like it ain’t just the half-demon; ya just love gettin’ on my nerves, too, don’t ya! Got a lot of guts talkin’ about stupid, shitty sweet nothin’s of love in a situation like this, don’t ya, aaah?!”

Filled with heat from his swelling anger, Garfiel was making the snow touching him evaporate. His fangs made a creaking sound as they elongated, and his body, on the verge of transfiguration, swelled to twice its size.-Volume 12, Chapter 4

It was also stated that the Flow Method lets people deal with cold, so clearly they raise their body heat using it

Emilia: “Use these, Cecilus!”


Cecilus: “Use what? Even you tell me that, I don’t know what I’m supposed to use… Ohh!”


Emilia lowered herself to the ground, as to place her hands on it, and the eyes of Cecilus, his head tilted, started sparkling. In his vision were swords, spears, axes as well as various other weapons of ice, all growing out of the ground.


Ice Brand Arts, which forged weapons out of ice, manifested a row of weapons in front of Cecilus all the way to Mezoreia.


Cecilus: “This is quite spectacular! I like it, it’s cool! To tell you the truth, I only wanted to hold a suitable, excellent sword of some kind, one that’s legendary or magical, but…”


Emilia: “Then are these no good?”


Cecilus: “No, it’s not like I told anyone about this kimari224, so I’ll just change it in secret! In this scene, it’d be flashier to swing a weapon against a Dragon!”


While saying that, Cecilus stretched his small body’s arms as far as he could and pulled out the two swords of frost on either side. As soon as he did so, Emilia realized her mistake with an “Ah”.


The ice sword had been created by Emilia. Therefore, Emilia would not feel the cold, but it might be too cold for Cecilus, who had not created them.


Emilia: “Come to think of it, Priscilla never said it was cold either, but…”


Cecilus: “Rest assured. I can make up for this inconvenience with the Flow Method, so both myself and the people in the Battalion are fine. Well, I tend to get out of my flow when the Boss and the others are involved, but it’s a fact that I’m especially tokushu for handling it naturally!”-Arc 7, Chapter 104

Sphinx's Undead​


Resistance to Pain manipulation​


The undead don't feel pain

Goz Ralfon was a General admired by many others in the troops, second only to Chisha Gold in terms of commanding large armies; but he was also possessed of outstanding individual combat skills in comparison with the latter.


Were Goz to unleash an attack with the intention of defeating an opponent, the body of an average man would be maimed in a single hit, if said average man were on the receiving end.


However, for Lamia, that had not been so―― At least, not strictly speaking.


Lamia: “Well, this body… It does not seem to feel any pain, so I guess that is a relief.”


Saying this, Lamia stood up and tilted her head as she slowly connected the right half of her body together―― which had been shattered like pottery.- Arc 8, Chapter 109


Inorganic Physiology (Type 1)​

The bodies of the undead are made of earth

Beatrice: “Essentially, Emilia and Garfiel are about the same in terms of their comprehension, in fact―― Now we know the structure of the zombies’ bodies and the shikake9 behind it, I suppose.”


Garfiel: “Like I asked, the **** does that mean?”


With gnashed teeth, Garfiel posed a question.


Garfiel was already aware of the existence of Restoration Magic. Magic that could restore damaged objects, of which he had heard could even restore burned books from ashes when employed by its best practitioners.


However, it was said that there were few users, and that there were also noticeable shortcomings, such as the need for exquisite magical precision and the tendency for restored items to deteriorate in quality.


And above all, life could never be restored―― This was not restoration nor repair, but the forbidden realm of something like the Sacrament of the Immortal King that had been brought up a few times already.


Roswaal: “Teacher chose Mana for her vessels, and I chose blood for mine―― But, this enemy chose earth for their vessels, are they not bothered if the contents overflow?”


Roswaal, covering his mouth, spoke of the revelation that Beatrice had given him.


Even then, Garfiel’s understanding fell short of theirs, but he could intuit that it was a path that would lead to answers that were terribly disturbing and unpleasant even for Garfiel.


Disregarding Garfiel, Roswaal looked at Beatrice with a grim expression on his face.


Roswaal: “Beatrice, this isn’t the Sacrament of the Immortal King, right?”


Beatrice: “…The basis is the same, but the taishohou is different, in fact. For the Sacrament of the Immortal King, the vessel comes first, and the soul second, I suppose. However, as for these zombies…”


Roswaal: “The soul comes first, and the vessel after―― The body changes form to suit the soul.”- Arc 8, Chapter 17

Immortality (Type 2)​


Can still survive even after they are decapitated

Supporting Arakiya with just his left hand, he pulled out the Dream Sword with his right hand, and with one flash of his right hand, without hesitation―― the Witch’s head was sent flying off.

Witch: [Wh-]

Cecilus: [You said I couldn’t kill you didn’t you. To be honest the way you said that was a little bit off-putting so I hope I can redeem myself with this!]

Without even granting her a chance to react, the blade easily parted the Witch’s head from her torso.

Above the speechless Al’s head, Cecilus stuck his tongue out, as his swordsmanship easily killed even the Witch.

At least that in itself was understandable to Al, who was confused by the appearance of a familiar-faced Witch and the fact that it was apparently not the Witch herself.

However――,

Witch: [――Analysis: Required.]

Understanding what happened next was impossible the first time around.

Witch: [――――]

The beautiful face upon the spinning head only slightly loosened its lips, sneering as her white hair was scattered from her having been decapitated.

Immediately after, the space around the falling Witch was violently distorted into white――,- Arc 8, Chapter 65

Regeneration (Mid), and Immortality Type 3​


Undead have a weird sort of physiology, where they can shatter when injuried, and then the pieces put themselves back together.

Flop: “Wife - san, their companions will notice it before long as well. Let’s hurry to the detached building and open it up.”
Flop made the decision to put off Rem’s sentiments for the moment. She did not object to Flop’s course of action as well, believing it to be the correct choice.
At the minimum, she attempted to give legitimacy to her actions; and as she was on the verge of unlocking the separate unit, she noticed something.
Rem: “Huh?”
Beneath her feet, the fragments of the “enemies” she had ground to a fine powder wriggled unnaturally, the wriggling different from how it would occur when caused by the wind or an earthquake.
???: “――We won’t die that easily. ‘Cause we’re dead.”
Rem shuddered, and the moment she experienced a sensation of unease, the voice of an “enemy” slipped into her awareness.
Turning around, Rem and Flop witnessed the supposedly - beaten “enemies” regenerating. The broken pieces of pottery fused together as if time had been reversed; though fissures with the appearance very much as if they were seams were visible, they had been restored to their original state.
Rem & Flop: “――――”
Petrified by that impossible spectacle, Rem and Flop both froze in place.-Arc 7, Chapter 110


We have seen them heal from fatal wounds

Halibel: “Sorry ‘bout this, but I can actually go up ta three.”

Having detained both his arms, the two Halibels belatedly used their hands to pierce the immobilized Eugard’s head and torso.

As a master of the Flow Method, the sharpness of Halibel’s spear hand was more akin to that of a famed sword rather than a mediocre cutting tool.

Without missing their aim, they pierced Eugard’s right eye and solar plexus, demonstrating their might which was enough to cause an instant death.

However――

Eugard: “Do not attempt to scheme against mineself. For any other than Mine Star it is irreverent.”

Stating this, his unpierced left eye met Halibel’s and immediately afterwards, the radiance of the Yang Sword shone more brilliantly. The next moment, the red glow burst into flames, and including Eugard, the entire area was instantly engulfed in an inferno.

The explosive spread of the fire engulfed three Halibels who were in contact with Eugard, and burned them to a crisp.

Then, a beat later, the flames disappeared like an illusion, and the three Halibels were all reduced to cinders. Eugard, who had also been scorched, regenerated the burnt surface, and stepped forth unperturbed.-Arc 8, Chapter 49

Being cut in half

Goz Ralfon was a General admired by many others in the troops, second only to Chisha Gold in terms of commanding large armies; but he was also possessed of outstanding individual combat skills in comparison with the latter.


Were Goz to unleash an attack with the intention of defeating an opponent, the body of an average man would be maimed in a single hit, if said average man were on the receiving end.


However, for Lamia, that had not been so―― At least, not strictly speaking.


Lamia: “Well, this body… It does not seem to feel any pain, so I guess that is a relief.”


Saying this, Lamia stood up and tilted her head as she slowly connected the right half of her body together―― which had been shattered like pottery.


No jest nor metaphor in that expression, it had been spoken in its truest sense. There had been no blood flowing from the wounds, the crushed parts wriggled and combined together like ice filling out a lake.


But, things did not end with the fact that someone who was supposed to be dead had come back to life, suddenly reanimated.-Arc 7, Chapter 109

They can even regenerate from being decapitated, but that's more so because the corebug, which is the source of their regeneration isn't destroyed

Through the investigation that was carried out amidst the combat to push back the enemy forces during the evacuation from the Imperial Capital, it was discovered that the undead possessed a vital point known as a “corebug”, and that seemed to be the source of their resurrection. There were also some undead that could regenerate even if their heads were sent flying, but that was because their corebug had not been destroyed.



In the end, the source of the corebugs’ power was the Great Spirit known as the Stone, so even if the undead were fully killed down to their corebugs, it would cause Muspel to lose strength, making it unable to support the vast lands of the Empire.-Arc 8, 58

As gauntlets of silver rang out, the torso and cranium of the undead standing in the way were pulverized.

Inside the body of every undead there existed a corebug, and without piercing it, causing a fatal wound would be impossible, even if their head and heart were to be blown away. ――In that case, the best choice was to punch in a way so that the impact would spread throughout the whole body.

???: [How ‘bout this!]

Until now, he had been giving priority to swinging his fists with all of his strength and having them hit their targets, and he had not given much thought to the result that would be brought forth after they had landed. But, he revised that way of thinking.

The shockwave borne from the impact of his fist, he imagined it propagating throughout the body of his opponent. By doing so, a change could be yielded in the way his fist was unleashed, and in the result it brought about.

???: [――Hk.]

With a shivering response from its back, the body of the struck undead was smashed to dust, lagging a moment behind the area that had been directly punched. It was proof that the impact had been transmitted throughout the entire body, and that the corebug had been killed.- Arc 8, Chapter 69

To summarize Undead can receive fatal wounds, which then shatters them, their body comes back together, but I wouldn't really put this High-Mid regen, just a result of their weird physiology. Mid regen seems more reasonable. This probably also counts as Type 8 Immortality, seeing as they won't die, unless the corebug is destroyed.

Edit/Update
As it turns out i missed some things. It's stated the undead can come back from their corebug alone, which is the size of a coin

Roswaal: “Everyone, please be extremely careful. It has been frozen to stop its activity, but if the ice breaks, it is presumed that a zombie will be booorn~ here.”


Subaru: “What are you talking about… Hey, hey, hey, what the hell is that!?”


Roswaal: “Beatrice said it, didn’t she? It’s a bug. I’d even venture and call it a Corebug.”


As he stated this, in Roswaal’s hand was a small block of ice being pinched between his fingers, about the size of a coin; inside, there was a red, round object.


Upon closer inspection, he understood that it was a small round bug that looked like a caterpillar――


Roswaal: “This Corebug is lurking within the body of every zombie. And, this worm is the zombie’s lifeline… in other words, it is undoubtedly their core.”


Subaru: “These bugs are their cores, that means…”


Julius: “――I see. So, the true nature of Garfiel’s perceived discrepancy was the difference in the points at which an arrow killed the Corebug within the zombie’s body.”


While Subaru’s shock from the impact of the bugs had still yet to disappear, Julius comprehended the details in such a manner.


Hearing Julius’s words, the others also reached an understanding. Of course, Subaru also finally understood the purpose of the bugs’ existence――


Subaru: “So you’re saying that the Corebug is basically the heart of a zombie?”


Roswaal: “We will be working to unravel more about the technique, but this Corebug acquires the data of the target that is to turn into a zombie, and then reproduces the original form by making a vessel out of earth… That is our conclusion.”-Arc 8, Chapter 20

So this would actually be High-Mid regen. Additionally even if they are killed/corebug destroyed, they still won't die

Roswaal: “Sphinx certainly died in front of us, she then died once more in front of Subaru-kun and his group. What can be inferred from this is plain and simple… Sphinx is able to die several times, and each time, she can be resurrected as a zombie.”

Subaru: “Wha…!?”

Roswaal: “Perhaps making it even worse, the next resurrected zombie could be aware of her previous death and the circumstances that caused it. In other words, she could know that Subaru-kun and Halibel-dono were the main factors that stopped her plan to blow away the coupled dragon carriage.”

But, there were many parts they could certainly agree with. In the midst of the destructive light that rained down, while being exposed to a blow that would reduce her to dust, Sphinx did not seem the least bit distraught. –Arc 8, Chapter 20

To truly kill them requires their souls to be destroyed

Originally, the only trump card which could have been hoped to stop the Great Disaster of the Vollachian Empire was for Subaru to combine his power with Spica’s Star Eating.

But, if Abel’s Yang Sword could reach the foundation of the souls of the undead then the story was different.

The Yang Sword and Star Eating, the two leading actors in this siege on the undead territory, could be utilized as trump cards in order to defeat the Great Disaster.

Subaru: “You, having realized this earlier, decided to join us in this group, right?”

Spica: “Uuu~?”

Subaru: “You see, Spica, this sly Emperor is able to use the Yang Sword, and even knew that it might be one of the key items in defeating the zombies. Just like you Spica, yeah? So, we had to proactively whittle down the zombies by using Star Eating. What happened then?” –Arc 8, Chapter 62

As they will resurrect as long as they have access to Muspel's mana

Sphinx: “――The Sacrament of the Immortal King is…”

The fact that its effects had been lost, was something that Sphinx could not help but recognize.

Centered around the Imperial Capital of Lupugana, the five locations aligning with the north, east, south, and west of the Vollachian Empire―― spread out over the sites designated as the points of settlement for the ever-migrating Stone, using the blood permeated into the Vollachian Empire’s vast lands as a medium, the magic circle had continued to resurrect the dead via the Sacrament of the Immortal King.

However, that too would come to an end if the vast supply of Mana from the Stone was lost.

Sphinx: “The Spirit Eater, Arakiya… has she seized control over Muspel?”

At the unthinkable reality, she could do nothing but surmise based on the events that had transpired.

That which she had taken upon herself was a far too exceedingly powerful Great Spirit, and even though Arakiya was supposed to have burst asunder after taking it in, the exorcism performed by the swordsman wielding the Dream Sword Masayume had placed the Great Spirit under her complete dominion.

By this point, the Stone, Muspel, was already one and the same as the Spirit Eater, Arakiya.

And, Arakiya had no reason to disobey the Vollachian Empire and support the Great Disaster.

From here on out――

Sphinx: “The undead will not revive anymore.”

The immortal army, the pack of dead wolves who could endlessly revive in their death, the prerequisite for that had collapsed.

Even if the supply from the Stone was severed, it did not mean the undead would lose their lives immediately. Only, the playing field had been leveled―― Death meant the end, just like it did for the living. –Arc 8, Chapter 73

So they should also get Immortality (Type 4), and Resurrection (Low-Godly)

Shinobi​


Pressure Points​

Olbart can precisely strike the weak spots of the human body

Through the investigation that was carried out amidst the combat to push back the enemy forces during the evacuation from the Imperial Capital, it was discovered that the undead possessed a vital point known as a “corebug”, and that seemed to be the source of their resurrection. There were also some undead that could regenerate even if their heads were sent flying, but that was because their corebug had not been destroyed.

In the end, the source of the corebugs’ power was the Great Spirit known as the Stone, so even if the undead were fully killed down to their corebugs, it would cause Muspel to lose strength, making it unable to support the vast lands of the Empire.

Therefore, Olbart was thoroughly putting in effort to enforce the policy of “not killing” the undead.

By precisely striking the weak spots of the human body that were known as pressure points, the body could be robbed of its freedom, becoming powerless like the undead that had been buried in the wall earlier. In that manner, the undead stuffed into the wall by Olbart numbered about fifty―― even though the construction and interior of their bodies were as papier mâché, he was relieved that their pressure points still functioned as weak spots
–Arc 8, Chapter 58

Underground Mobility + Earth Manipulation​


Only applies to Olbart (who will have a profile after all these revisions), and Halibel (the strongest shinobi). Basically Olbart has been show to be able to pass through solid objects ie Olbart dived right into roof tiles, which noted to be hard, should have caused him damaged, but Olbart slipped right through them

Cutting off his words there, Olbart twisted his body as he spun backward. As he did, with his back turned while in an upside - down position, the roof lifted like a wave to greet him.
Chased by shock waves from his front, and by surging waves of roof tiles from his back, he was being attacked on both sides―― the sight of the castle tower surging like an ocean made Subaru want to doubt his eyes.
But doubting his eyes was what he’d want to do for what happened directly after that as well.
Olbart: “――――”
As the roof tiles approached like a tidal wave, seeing that, Olbart kicked himself off the air itself, heading into the roof tiles of his own accord head - first.
Albeit it looked like a wave given its appearance, the tiles that made up the large wave had not lost their hardness and weight.
If he went in head - first, his whole body would be thrashed, his bones broken, and, in the end, his head would be tragically smashed. Without thinking, Subaru covered Louis’s face as he hugged her, hearing her protest with a “Uu!”.
But that cruel outcome never came to pass.
Olbart: “Ain’t I amazin’ for bein’ able ta put the technique of hidin’ in the ground into use without preparation?”
At the moment of collision, Olbart plunged soundlessly into the waves of roof tiles
as if he were diving into water, and jumped straight out the back of the surge of roof waves. Scraping the torn - off roof tiles with his heels, Olbart flashed a cunning smile showing his white teeth, acting as if it had been nothing special.-Arc 7, Chapter 52

Despite being surrounded with no openings to escape, Olbart was unharmed by Yorna's attack

Olbart: “Well, I don’t need this flashy stuff. Ultimately, a human bein’ can be killed by a sharp needle ta the forehead.”
Yorna: “Your words make my fox ears itch―― So, how about this instead?”
Olbart: “Oh.”
Olbart avoided the showy attack, but right after, Yorna struck the roof with her heel. Then, one - by - one, the roof tiles rose and began to float, revolving around in midair.
Drawing an extremely large spiral across the entirety of the roof, the circumference of the whirlpool narrowed towards Olbart at the center―― Just like a tornado. And then――
Yorna: “Why don’t you show me some of your shinobi techniques on how to escape from a place without an opening?”
Before she finished speaking, Yorna’s outstretched hand squeezed tight.
Immediately after, the whirling tornado of tiles engulfed Olbart and compressed him into the center in one fell swoop. The tiles collided with each other relentlessly, and the sound of a fierce, all - crushing impact rang out.
Even a somewhat robust human body would not be able to withstand the pressure at the nexus of this fierce destruction. It would be crushed, with no chance of survival.
Louis: “Au…”
Witnessing the same thing, Louis too gasped at its exuberant destructive power.
In response to Louis’s reaction, Yorna quietly replied, “I’m sorry to have frightened you”,
Yorna: “I started all this on a whim of mine. I feel terrible about the way you look…”
Olbart: “Oioi, don’t’cha go thinkin’ we’re done here. I’m tellin’ ya, the fact that I’m still alive even tho’ I’m a geezer means it’ll take a lot ta kill me, ya know?”
Yorna: “――Hk.”
Just as Yorna was about to turn around, she heard that comment and her fox ears perked up. Taking a look towards it, the voice she’d heard had come from a whirlpool of roof tiles that had gathered at their center, crushing it―― No, it had come from behind it.
Accompanied by a rattle, the voice that came from among the debris of the broken roof tiles was that of Olbart, unharmed despite the fact he’d been at the core of the vortex of devastation.
The monstrous old man waved his hand, smiling with a malicious look on his face,
Olbart: “Yo. And that’s the shinobi ’s technique of escapin’ when there’s no openin’. Ya satisfied?”- Arc 7, Chapter 53

Agree with these, the first one also seems like Info Analysis.

I agree with these, but is Vita really Density manip or is it not Gravity manip? It seems to be basically the inverse of Murak.

Looks good.

Looks good.

Looks good. As for his reaction to the invisibility, this invisibility was enough to hide Olbart's presence even from the passive effects of Curse of Thorns, which affected Al, Groovy, & Ceci even though they were using the presence-concealing Werewolf Cloak.

Cecilus: “By any chance, is this appearing on the both of you as well?”

Al: “…Yeah. Oi, Groovy-san. I thought we shouldn’t be able to be detected with this cloak…”

Groovy: “****… Hk! You gotta be ******* kidding me…!”

Al and Groovy seemed to be in the same situation as Cecilus, and Groovy’s discomposure, or rather, his anger was especially quite immense.

Maybe it was because someone had seen through the effects of the fur cloak that he was so confident in? ――No, that was not quite right.

If the other party had located Cecilus and the others, they would not leave the three of them in the state of being a sandwich for so long. Of course, one could also say that these thorns were a warning.

Al: “Doesn’t seem like it. What do you think?”

Groovy: “――It’s an indiscriminate ranged attack. What kind of ******* wanker does that!? Who in the ****’s spilling out such braindead cursecraft…!?”

Groovy’s throat shook with rage, and he cursed the irrationality of the yet-to-be-seen master of the thorns. –Arc 8, Chapter 39
Narrowing the eyes concealed by his white eyebrows, Olbart held his breath in the Crystal Palace, which he was in the midst of infiltrating by his lonesome.

Invisibility that eliminated one’s presence as much as possible, it was something that lived up to the name of the shinobi’s head honcho―― having his presence be seized was a must-not, and that included that he’d had to go unnoticed while picking off the guards he did.

Were his presence to be detected, thereby including him as a target of the Curse of Thorns, Olbart would be made powerless. He was weak to pain. The mere thought of thorns stabbing into his heart made him want to toss in his sleep.

In order to avoid that, Olbart had been taking the utmost care in his movements. –Arc 8, Chapter 58

Priscilla
Looks good.

Looks good.

Looks good for now.

I mean this is accurate, but, it's all already on his page I believe.

Looks good. I gathered scans for a lot of these in the Echidna sandbox too, in case you want to use them.

Al and Subaru
Looks good. Priscilla also reconfirms this in Arc 8 Chapter 75.

Yang Sword Users
Looks good.

Body Control For Dragons
Arguably this is a Flow Method fighting-spirit thing given Garfiel does something similar, but I agree anyway.

Regeneration (Mid)​


Undead have a weird sort of physiology, where they can shatter when injuried, and then the pieces put themselves back together.
Their regeneration is such that they can die by having just their hand shattered, or can survive and regenerate from a coin-sized fragment, since only the corebug actually matters. Site precedents would say this is High-Mid, as a character with similar rules of marble-sized weak points in their body doesn't have his rating limited by even several of these weak points.

Zombies actually have 2 forms of Type 8 Immortality: Their regeneration, which is reliant on the corebug in their body, and Low-Godly resurrection reliant on their soul & Muspel's power, with the Great Spirit's mana being used to power the process of a soul being bound and coded into a new corebug to produce the zombie once more even after their corebug is destroyed.
 
I donno about the Subaru sensing strong people stuff. I feel it could just be a property of his wisdom from experiencing so much in the world.

But I do agree with the danger sense.
 
I agree with these, but is Vita really Density manip or is it not Gravity manip? It seems to be basically the inverse of Murak.
Murak does make things lighter, so I guess that makes more sense yea.

Looks good. As for his reaction to the invisibility, this invisibility was enough to hide Olbart's presence even from the passive effects of Curse of Thorns, which affected Al, Groovy, & Ceci even though they were using the presence-concealing Werewolf Cloak.
So layered invisibility, sure.

Forgot I even had that statement about the core bugs being coin size, and acquiring data to make a body out of earth

Roswaal: “Everyone, please be extremely careful. It has been frozen to stop its activity, but if the ice breaks, it is presumed that a zombie will be booorn~ here.”


Subaru: “What are you talking about… Hey, hey, hey, what the hell is that!?”


Roswaal: “Beatrice said it, didn’t she? It’s a bug. I’d even venture and call it a Corebug.”


As he stated this, in Roswaal’s hand was a small block of ice being pinched between his fingers, about the size of a coin; inside, there was a red, round object.


Upon closer inspection, he understood that it was a small round bug that looked like a caterpillar――


Roswaal: “This Corebug is lurking within the body of every zombie. And, this worm is the zombie’s lifeline… in other words, it is undoubtedly their core.”


Subaru: “These bugs are their cores, that means…”


Julius: “――I see. So, the true nature of Garfiel’s perceived discrepancy was the difference in the points at which an arrow killed the Corebug within the zombie’s body.”


While Subaru’s shock from the impact of the bugs had still yet to disappear, Julius comprehended the details in such a manner.


Hearing Julius’s words, the others also reached an understanding. Of course, Subaru also finally understood the purpose of the bugs’ existence――


Subaru: “So you’re saying that the Corebug is basically the heart of a zombie?”


Roswaal: “We will be working to unravel more about the technique, but this Corebug acquires the data of the target that is to turn into a zombie, and then reproduces the original form by making a vessel out of earth… That is our conclusion.”-Arc 8, Chapter 20

High-Mid is fine then. I apparently didn't save anything about them still coming back even if the corebug is destroyed though, where is that from?

I also had a little more on Ceci's intuition, like finding Sphinx the mastermind behind everything, when nobody knew what was going on, but felt it was kinda unnecessary to put all that here, the Echidna feat is probably the most impressive and he already has insane intuition feats on his profile like figuring out Al's ability, no reason why I can't just add all that when I am doing the edits.

It's shown and abused through the duplication of the undead. The corebugs construct the zombie from the soul, and a zombie can simply pour their soul into multiple corebugs to create clones– an extention of the ability to pour their soul into a new corebug should their present corebug be destroyed.

Valgren dies a few times too, but the clear main display of the resurrection is Sphinx and Escape by Death:
Roswaal: “Sphinx certainly died in front of us, she then died once more in front of Subaru-kun and his group. What can be inferred from this is plain and simple… Sphinx is able to die several times, and each time, she can be resurrected as a zombie.”

Subaru: “Wha…!?”

Roswaal: “Perhaps making it even worse, the next resurrected zombie could be aware of her previous death and the circumstances that caused it. In other words, she could know that Subaru-kun and Halibel-dono were the main factors that stopped her plan to blow away the coupled dragon carriage.”

But, there were many parts they could certainly agree with. In the midst of the destructive light that rained down, while being exposed to a blow that would reduce her to dust, Sphinx did not seem the least bit distraught. –Arc 8, Chapter 20
Suddenly, engulfed in the fiery blaze as she was, Sphinx who was supposed to be heading for her demise, took action.

While the flame of the Yang Sword kept her entire body alight, Sphinx placed a finger below her own jaw; blowing away the entirety of the Corebug present within her cranium, she induced her own Death.

And then, the Sphinxes present on the battlefield, in the Imperial Capital, and throughout the entire Empire, all carried out that same act in succession.

Sphinx: “――Analysis: Required.”

Sphinx: “――Analysis: Required.”

It was not that she had given up on herself. Nor was it that she had been dominated by suicidal thoughts.

Only, through dying, all of Sphinx’s memories could converge on her soul. If all the countless Sphinxes died simultaneously, and all the countless memories converged, the collective base of knowledge known as herself would accumulate.

Of course, it was only a matter of time before the soul where all those memories were gathering would be scorched, thoroughly burned to naught.

However, in the time before it was burned to naught, Sphinx naturally continued to construct her own burning selves, and by doing so, she was able to accrete countless analyses and debates about the situation and countermeasures. –Arc 8, Chapter 60
 
Right, but from memory it was kind of something that the smart zombies figured out how to abuse the resurrection ie Lamia. Valgren i remember being like a trump card kind of, Sphinx who is the castor of the spell, thought it important enough to be in her plans.

Basically kind of wondering whether this is something any random undead could do.

not insanity born from a complete lack of fear regarding the current situation, however.
Rather, because he had never experienced fear once since his birth, he harbored a gleam that could be described as insane.
this seem like he is insane because he never face something that make he fears not that he can't feel fear because he insanity.

so he doesn't resist fear he just yet face anything that can make him feel fear.

Power Nullification
Neutralized Sphinx's attack
this seem like he just destory her attack with pure ap , no?
 
The fact that he has never felt fear is what makes him insane, every living obviously would at some point would fear something, heck even Reinhard for all his supermanness, does harbor fears.

The idea for me basically is, if someone tried to manipulate his fears or whatever, he would just ignore it.

Cecilus after all as a baby laughed when his own father put a knife to his throat, and laughs while being on the verge of death, this guy is such a lunatic, while in the middle of a life or death battle, where he could easily (and did in fact easily die many times), holds his hand up into the sky, wishing that Al understand what he wanted and throw his sword to him.

Though we could just stick this under his supernatural willpower, ultimately doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

Halibel I can see being ap though.

hmm I think I Understand now.

however the excerpt specific state that he doesn't lack fear because he insane so I think ability wording need to changed somewhat.

i think something like [never feeling fear in his life even on XYZ situations] will be more accurate?
 
Basically kind of wondering whether this is something any random undead could do.
Only Zombies that perceive the true nature of souls can make multiple simultaneous clones, but any zombie can just resurrect in a new corebug. This is why Stellar Eclipse, which plunders the soul, and the Yang Sword, which burns the soul to nothing, are the only two surefire counters to the zombies. It does seem to take longer for normal zombies to resurrect, though.

Subaru: “First, it should be clear to everyone that Spica’s Authority has the power to nullify their specialty… the resurrection of the zombies. However, currently, it’s necessary for me to accompany her as her guardian so she can use it. If Halibel-san has such a hard time dealing with the resurrecting enemies, then Spica’s absolutely essential for the assault.”

During the attack on the coupled dragon carriages, Spica had made a significant contribution to the defeat of a formidable foe, the Poison Princess, Lamia Godwin.

If she could fully wield the Authority of Gluttony, she could cut off the endless Escape by Death of the resurrecting undead. In terms of defeating Sphinx, there seemed to be no better strategy than utilizing Spica. –Arc 8, Chapter 32
Originally, the only trump card which could have been hoped to stop the Great Disaster of the Vollachian Empire was for Subaru to combine his power with Spica’s Star Eating.

But, if Abel’s Yang Sword could reach the foundation of the souls of the undead then the story was different.

The Yang Sword and Star Eating, the two leading actors in this siege on the undead territory, could be utilized as trump cards in order to defeat the Great Disaster.

Subaru: “You, having realized this earlier, decided to join us in this group, right?”

Spica: “Uuu~?”

Subaru: “You see, Spica, this sly Emperor is able to use the Yang Sword, and even knew that it might be one of the key items in defeating the zombies. Just like you Spica, yeah? So, we had to proactively whittle down the zombies by using Star Eating. What happened then?” –Arc 8, Chapter 62
Sphinx: “――The Sacrament of the Immortal King is…”

The fact that its effects had been lost, was something that Sphinx could not help but recognize.

Centered around the Imperial Capital of Lupugana, the five locations aligning with the north, east, south, and west of the Vollachian Empire―― spread out over the sites designated as the points of settlement for the ever-migrating Stone, using the blood permeated into the Vollachian Empire’s vast lands as a medium, the magic circle had continued to resurrect the dead via the Sacrament of the Immortal King.

However, that too would come to an end if the vast supply of Mana from the Stone was lost.

Sphinx: “The Spirit Eater, Arakiya… has she seized control over Muspel?”

At the unthinkable reality, she could do nothing but surmise based on the events that had transpired.

That which she had taken upon herself was a far too exceedingly powerful Great Spirit, and even though Arakiya was supposed to have burst asunder after taking it in, the exorcism performed by the swordsman wielding the Dream Sword Masayume had placed the Great Spirit under her complete dominion.

By this point, the Stone, Muspel, was already one and the same as the Spirit Eater, Arakiya.

And, Arakiya had no reason to disobey the Vollachian Empire and support the Great Disaster.

From here on out――

Sphinx: “The undead will not revive anymore.”

The immortal army, the pack of dead wolves who could endlessly revive in their death, the prerequisite for that had collapsed.

Even if the supply from the Stone was severed, it did not mean the undead would lose their lives immediately. Only, the playing field had been leveled―― Death meant the end, just like it did for the living. –Arc 8, Chapter 73

this seem like he just destory her attack with pure ap , no?
Halibel I can see being ap though.
It's Power Nullification, specifically it's the same deadspot technique that nullified the zombie's regeneration:

Halibel: “Here’s the deadspot.”

As soon as they said it, the figure advanced in front of the three, and swung the arm they had taken out of its sleeves, tossing something into the white light.

The light possessed the power to swallow everything and turn it into dust. Beyond the barrier that Emilia and Julius had used to hold it back, that too would be swallowed up and then disappear.

Or, so it had seemed.

Emilia: “No way…”

Letting out a voice akin to a gasp, Emilia’s amethyst eyes widened.

Reflected in her beautiful eyes was not the white Death that had been so close at hand, in fact, that had disappeared entirely; and instead reflected was the night sky, covered with thick clouds that had now been hollowed out in the shape of the light.

Witnessing the same thing, both Subaru and Julius were left speechless.

The aurora-clad ice wall that had collided with the light had also disappeared, and the fake Ryuzu, who had used herself as a target, disappeared into the light, leaving nothing behind―― –Arc 8, Chapter 19
Then, he aimed to burn the collapsed Halibel to a crisp with a flash of the sword―― he had been unable to do so. Having just attempted to swing the Yang Sword, Eugard’s right arm burst open at the shoulder.

Eugard: “What?”

At the impact that gave him no sensation of being pierced, Eugard raised his eyebrows. But, the pinnacle of his shock lay at what occurred right after―― The arm of the undead did not begin to regenerate.

Having been shattered like ceramic, fragments of his right arm scattered, and the Yang Sword was thrust into the ground. And then――

Halibel: “――Finally found the deadspot.”

Akin to an exhale, Halibel spoke in a low voice as he stood up from the rampart. The wolfman, leaning his back against the fissured wall as he stood up, placed his kiseru in his mouth once again.

Slowly, he placed tobacco into the bowl, snapped his fingers to set it alight, and breathed the smoke into his lungs. While beholding that action, Eugard placed his hand over the injury of his right arm which was not recovering.

The arm that had disappeared from his right shoulder onwards showed no signs of starting to regenerate.

He clearly understood. Eugard’s right arm had been the first part of his resurrected body to die anew.

The one who had done that was Halibel who stood before his eyes, and it seemed to be the result of the “deadspot” of which he had spoken.

Eugard: “There yet remaineth an abundance of things of which I am unaware.”

Halibel: “Ain’t that right. It’s fantastic that I was able ta teach ya that. The wolfpeople were ‘bout ta be wiped out just before I could do so.”

Clearing his throat with a laugh, Halibel nodded as smoke escaped his nostrils.

The versatility of this wolfman had impressed him repeatedly, but this was the highest grade. To think he was even equipped with a technique to kill the undead, his skills and expertise were terrifying.

Eugard: “In the same manner as thou hadst rended mine arm, shalt thou take even mine life?”

Halibel: “That was my intention for observin’ ya after all. Seems like it’ll be a lil’ tough, but… Well, I think I’mma be able ta do it, don’t’cha agree?” –Arc 8, Chapter 50
Halibel: “Yep yep, that’s a great feat. With a girl like ya, the future of the Empire’ll be in good hands.”

Her momentum unhalted, the girl was about to fly into the vortex of light but was saved in the nick of time by the jet-black wolfman.

With a quick piercing hand he neutralized the vortex of light the Witch had prepared, and with the same hand the wolfman softly caught the girl before he landed to the ground.

That the wolfman who had thrown the girl was the same one who had caught her, led to some confusion.

Al: “A new monster has joined the fray! A Cecilus-type!?”

Halibel: “Can’t deny that, but that’s an unpleasant way of classifyin’ me.”

Tanza: “It has been a while. I am sorry to be presumptuous, Cecilus-sama and Halibel-sama are so different in their nature that it would be disrespectful―― Why don’t we protect Schwartz-sama?” –Arc 8, Chapter 74

Zab already said what i wanted to say...
Olbart has layered invisibility too and Garf would get layered invisibility sensing
 
Their regeneration is such that they can die by having just their hand shattered, or can survive and regenerate from a coin-sized fragment, since only the corebug actually matters. Site precedents would say this is High-Mid, as a character with similar rules of marble-sized weak points in their body doesn't have his rating limited by even several of these weak points.

Zombies actually have 2 forms of Type 8 Immortality: Their regeneration, which is reliant on the corebug in their body, and Low-Godly resurrection reliant on their soul & Muspel's power, with the Great Spirit's mana being used to power the process of a soul being bound and coded into a new corebug to produce the zombie once more even after their corebug is destroyed.
I'd like to bring the convo back to this since it looks like it was just handwaved. Their resurrection especially should be pointed out.

In any case, no mention of Garf's power mimicry or attack reflection at all?!?!??!?

I agree that Vita and Murak both just seem like gravity manipulation.

I don't think earth manipulation is enough to sufficiently explain the Shinobi ability to dive into the ground, into and through the walls of buildings, and drag opponents into them as well. It's more like a form of intangibility.

The dragon heat is pretty clearly a trait of mana as a whole imo. Dragons are beings made of pure mana so they are super hot. On the flip side, when Puck absorbs all of the mana from the environment everything freezes. When Reinhard absorbed all of the mana from the loot house everything grew cold. When Garf and Cecilus expend mana with the flow method it generates heat. Frankly, I think the very same tempurature manipulation Garf and Cecilus display should be applied as a standard ability of flow method as well as a standard trait of mana for the verse as a whole.

Make sense yea, temperature manipulation via the flow method sounds good.
 
I agreed with it
You agreed to the upgrade for the regen but it wasn't clear to me if you noticed the rest of the explaination about the multiple types of Immortality and it wasn't added to the op.
Must have forgotten, can you post the evidence?
From Soumatou:
The Cloud Dragon furiously closed in on the bolt-upright Garfiel, and raising up its thick, long tail, it brought it down like a flash of lightning.

The wind generated from the flap of its wings, which it had used to approach, was enough to make it feel as if the likes of Heinkel were about to be blown away. The extraordinary blow from the Dragon aimed directly for Garfiel――,

Heinkel: [――Ah?]

That instant, the Cloud Dragon’s body blurred mid-air, and its entirety was slammed into the protective wall of the Imperial Capital.

Mezoreia: [――Urahwahdah!?]

Turned upside down, Mezoreia’s back crashed into the wall, and it let out a disheveled exhale without understanding what had just happened; sharing that lack of understanding, Heinkel’s jaw was left agape.

It was not clear how it had been done. But, it was clear who had done what.

――Garfiel had parried the blow from Mezoreia’s tail, and had thrown the Dragon.

Garfiel: [Ahh, shit… Now I’ve done it.]

Looking down at his hands, for some reason, Garfiel muttered so in discontent.

Making an expression as if he was digging up an unpleasant memory, he repeatedly opened and closed the hands that had thrown the Dragon, then turned around.

Those emerald-green eyes directly clashed with the eyes of the upside down Cloud Dragon.

And then――,

Garfiel: [Well, never mind. Let’s ******’ do this, round two. ――Sorry ‘bout this, but my amazin’ self’s the only one who’s got a mountain load of support!]
I know it's not explicitly stated but there's really no other explaination for this. Immediately after going through a whole character arc about relying on others he blocks Mezo's attack and it ends up sending it flying back when it collides. It's described as some special ability rather than just normal parrying and it brings back bad memories for him. He copied Olbart's technique.
I was thinking of it as Underground Mobility + Earth Manipulation
Since it works for going through walls, floors, and roofs as we see multiple times from Olbart I would rather argue it just being intangibility.
 
So will Subaru's Arc 5-6 key be renamed as some Arc 5-8 key? Or were the recent arcs distinct enough to justify a new key?
There was discussion of a kid Subaru key but the only actual difference between Kid Subaru and current Subaru is slightly less AP and diminished intelligence. Although he was able to damage a guiltylowe anyway so he should scale the same.
What are the implications of this? Specifically for Subaru?
Subaru needs a rework for every point in the series anyway. I believe there is a calc from the anime that may be made soon?
 
I was thinking of it as Underground Mobility + Earth Manipulation
I agree with indexing it as that yeah, since it's called earth release jutsu (a Naruto reference). It also works on things like roof tiles which made me consider matter manipulation, but tiles are usually a type of stone anyway.
 
Relevant Zombie stuff, compiled.
Inorganic Physiology (Type 1), Immortality (Types 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, & 8), Regeneration (High-Mid), & Resurrection (Low-Godly) (Zombies are undead beings created by a combination of a deceased soul being summoned by the Sacrament of the Immortal King, and an earthern body matching the soul's data being formed by Restoration Magic. This process is controlled automatically by a coin-sized object called a Corebug, which acts as the core of the Zombie, allowing them to function with fatal damage and regenerate from any wounds so long as it is intact. Should the Corebug be destroyed, the Zombie will die, and their soul will again be called by the Sacrament of the Immortal King to a new Corebug, thereby resurrecting them once more. This entire process is powered by the Mana of the Great Spirit of Earth, "The Stone" Muspel, and each resurrection upon a Zombie's death will drain the Spirit's Mana, which while vast is not endless)

Roswaal: “Beatrice, this isn’t the Sacrament of the Immortal King, right?”

Beatrice: “…The basis is the same, but the approach is different, in fact. For the Sacrament of the Immortal King, the vessel comes first, and the soul second, I suppose. However, as for these zombies…”

Roswaal: “The soul comes first, and the vessel after―― The body changes form to suit the soul.” –Arc 8, Chapter 17
Roswaal: “Beatrice’s observation is correct. The mechanism by which the zombies are revived without the original corpse is an application of Restoration Magic. The prerequisite for this is the invocation of the soul, which is an application of the Sacrament of the Immortal King.”

Beatrice: “Both Restoration Magic and the Sacrament of the Immortal King aren’t the kind of techniques that can be used immediately upon understanding the theory, in fact. To begin with, given the feat of combining such fundamentally different types of magic, it can’t be said that there are even a handful of geniuses who can do it, I suppose. Those who could do it would be…”

Roswaal: “――Of Teacher’s lineage. However, it cannot be Teacher. Therefore…” –Arc 8, Chapter 17
Roswaal: “Everyone, please be extremely careful. It has been frozen to stop its activity, but if the ice breaks, it is presumed that a zombie will be booorn~ here.”

Subaru: “What are you talking about… Hey, hey, hey, what the hell is that!?”

Roswaal: “Beatrice said it, didn’t she? It’s a bug. I’d even venture and call it a Corebug.”

As he stated this, in Roswaal’s hand was a small block of ice being pinched between his fingers, about the size of a coin; inside, there was a red, round object.

Upon closer inspection, he understood that it was a small round bug that looked like a caterpillar――

Roswaal: “This Corebug is lurking within the body of every zombie. And, this worm is the zombie’s lifeline… in other words, it is undoubtedly their core.”

Subaru: “These bugs are their cores, that means…”

Julius: “――I see. So, the true nature of Garfiel’s perceived discrepancy was the difference in the points at which an arrow killed the Corebug within the zombie’s body.”

While Subaru’s shock from the impact of the bugs had still yet to disappear, Julius comprehended the details in such a manner.

Hearing Julius’s words, the others also reached an understanding. Of course, Subaru also finally understood the purpose of the bugs’ existence――

Subaru: “So you’re saying that the Corebug is basically the heart of a zombie?”

Roswaal: “We will be working to unravel more about the technique, but this Corebug acquires the data of the target that is to turn into a zombie, and then reproduces the original form by making a vessel out of earth… That is our conclusion.”

Beatrice: “Indeed, in fact.”

Without objection, Beatrice nodded her head in agreement with Roswaal’s conclusion. –Arc 8, Chapter 20
Vincent: “You cannot expect the assistance of the Stone. If anything, the existence of the Stone is being put to use by the opponent… by the Great Disaster.”

Subaru: “What, do you mean? The Great Spirit――”

Vincent: “Is in the palm of the enemy’s hand. Likely, in order for the Great Disaster to inexhaustibly give rise to the undead from the grave, it is utilizing that extraordinary amount of Mana. Henceforth, they continue to appear in perpetuity.”

Everyone: “――――”

Vincent: “And――”

Eyes widened at the horrible report, Subaru looked in disbelief at Abel as the latter still proceeded to continue. But, Subaru did not possess the ability to deter his words.

In the midst of the strained air of the conference room, Abel continued without halt. That was――

Vincent: “I expressed it as «in perpetuity», but that is not accurate. No matter how much Mana is in the Stone’s possession, it will eventually run out. When that happens, the vast lands of the Empire will meet their demise―― After all, the Sanctum protected by the Stone, the power sustaining the vast lands of Vollachia, will be forfeit, and there will be no escaping collapse.” –Arc 8, Chapter 30
Dispossessed of their free will, becoming a being used and discarded as tools for the sake of battle, their soul would be called down again even were they to repeatedly taste Death, their earthen vessels revived with a new anchor. –Arc 8, Chapter 58



Resistance to Pain Manipulation (The undead have a reduced sense of pain, such that burning alive, or being shattered to pieces, isn't bothersome)

Lamia: “Well, this body… It does not seem to feel any pain, so I guess that is a relief.”

Saying this, Lamia stood up and tilted her head as she slowly connected the right half of her body together―― which had been shattered like pottery.

No jest nor metaphor in that expression, it had been spoken in its truest sense. There had been no blood flowing from the wounds, the crushed parts wriggled and combined together like ice filling out a lake. –Arc 7, Chapter 109
A piercing impact bore through Izmail’s left shoulder, and he released a cry of pain.
What had pierced through the walls of the house whose destruction had been interrupted, coming to strike Izmail no matter if it had been aimed precisely or merely a lucky shot, was a stone fired at a high speed.

He thought his bones would break if struck by that, and in accordance with that belief, that force caused Izmail’s left shoulder to violently explode, and as a result, Izmail’s body began to scream―― But that did not come to pass.

Izmail’s body had lost the color of blood, and cracks had formed in several places on his skin. When the stone struck him, a terribly short sound rang out, and it shattered.

It was just as if Izmail himself was the same as the window glass of the destroyed houses.

Izmail: “――――”

For a moment, as his left arm shattered, Izmail’s thoughts came to a standstill.

However, while surprised, the absence of the pain he had expected prevented his thoughts from being shredded to pieces. Consequently, he was able to be at ease without overlooking the next change.

Izmail: “My arm…”

His arm, shattered at the shoulder and fallen to the floor of the inclined house, regenerated through inexplicable movements as if time was turning back; cracks were filled, shattered fragments returned, and it was restored.

In less than two seconds, it was as if the shattering had never even happened. –Arc 8, Chapter 4
While being scorched by the bright-red flames, the Sphinx who had been cut, muttered so. But, even if she made use of the undead’s advantage of meagerly feeling pain, she would not be able to hold out for long with herself being burnt to a crisp.

In that case, would she abandon the several bodies that had already been scorched, and proceed with the plan as a new Sphinx, having learned from this Death? ――No, that would be impossible.

The flame of the Yang Sword was burning Sphinx’s very soul.

Even if she tried to create a new undead version of herself, as long as the foundation that was her soul remained burning, it would be impossible to prevent the earthen body from burning as it was created. –Arc 8, Chapter 60



Resistance to Death Manipulation (The undead are unaffected by Halibel's killing curses)

Julius: “If my current thoughts are correct, that would explain Halibel’s impression. In addition, Halibel, may I ask why you believe that you are not a good match for the zombies of the Empire?”

Halibel: “I didn’t see ‘em myself, but I heard that the zombies in the dragon carriage were multiplyin’? That black Dragon did the same thing. Ya see, the sellin’ point of my attacks’s the fact that they’re death curses, once they hit it’s lights out for good, so I ain’t compatible with opponents who stick ‘round even after they kick the bucket, not at all.”

Subaru: “――――”

Halibel: “Huh? What’s with the silence?”

Subaru: “No, I was just surprised by you casually saying killing curses are your selling point.”

Halibel revealing his hand so easily had Subaru unable to believe his ears. However, the former seemed to nod his head in agreement with Subaru’s point with a “Yeah,”

Halibel: “It ain’t like anythin’ll happen even if ya know. ‘N even if ya knew, not many people’d get by without takin’ a single hit from me, right?”

Subaru: “Yeaaah~, you might seem modest, but you’re not. It’s the same with Reinhard and Ceci, feels like the strongest people of each country have that in common…” –Arc 8, Chapter 32
 
Not too sure about type 1 immortality, they already have type 7 for being undead, but with these sorts of characters, lots of immortality's tend to overlap. Are there any direct statements about them no aging or anything like that?

Not too sure about resistance to death manipulation either, I remember debates in the past about what exactly inducing death means, and whether regeneration could allow someone to ignore it, if the zombies have high-mid regen and low-godly resurrection, are they resisting death manipulation, or just coming back from it.

death manipulation ignores regeneration and simply kills the opponents without any visible cause
there are certain levels of regeneration that could bring someone back from death manipulation if they dont have the feats but they would have to be atleast low godly in nature since otherwise they cant really come back from an abstract death
Low godly resurrection would obviously bypass this as well
 
It's important to note that zombie Valgren's low godly resurrection never kicked in when Halibel fought it. It was simply immune to death manipulation in the first place and wasn't killed until Halibel found the corebug the same way anyone else could. If the real reason the zombies resisted it were because of their resurrection I don't think Tappei would describe it as being because they are already dead and Halibel wouldn't have had such difficulty fending off Valgren.

Here is where I think it still runs into problems if Halibel's death curse doesn't work cause they are dead, that would be a weakness on Halibel's part, and not a resistance.

Having type 7 immortality, it means they are already dead, that immortality is defined as "Characters who cannot die due to technically being already dead, often overlapping with other forms of immortality. This includes characters who can keep existing as spiritual entities upon dying."

Type 7 immortality covers this then, and it's not a resistance.
 
Type 7 immortality covers this then, and it's not a resistance.
Halibel's death curse simply not working on undead beings is fair, I agree.

type 1 immortality
I can also see it as being a consequence of inorganic physiology, they aren't made of biological material and thus do not age. Type 1 Immo might be unnecessary fluff then, sure.
 
I still think it's earth manipulation+underground mobility (literally called Earth Release Jutsu), or at most matter manip if they can make non-earthern things soft.

Only other things I think needs added before we wrap this up (not everything needs to be in one CRT, a part 2 is fine) is Halibel's illusions and Olbart's pressure points.
In front of Eugard as he muttered so, the figure of the wolfman faded like mist.

Combining a peculiar walking technique with an unbelievable movement speed, an optical illusion occurred in a form differing from that of the clones. At the sensation of afterimages being left in his consciousness, Eugard could not help but admire that versatility.

However, there was no need for him to be deluded by such a cheap trick. The approaching presences were from directly above, and from his left and right; at the signs that lethal strikes were furiously closing in, Eugard turned the other way, utterly undaunted.

Then, going half a step further than last time, he stepped towards the rear.

Eugard: “Thou plainly scatterest thy presence―― Ergo, the direction bereft of any presence is where thou truly residest.”

Halibel: “Guh.”

His angle of turning around had been insufficient, but still the bottom of the Yang Sword’s hilt sunk into Halibel’s side. The moment he received the sensation of his opponent’s bone shattering, Eugard immediately channeled heat into the Yang Sword’s blade―― the yielded explosion allowed the bottom of the hilt to bury itself even deeper, crushing Halibel’s insides. –Arc 8, Chapter 50
――Going behind a guard who was keeping watch, he struck the pressure points that ran along the central meridian of their body.

Guard: “――――”

That instant, the posture of the opponent was broken, and they collapsed without raising their voice.

The reason why he had propped up the body as it collapsed was not out of consideration, but rather because it would have caused problems had the sound of armor striking the ground rung out.

Olbart: “Good grief, it’s darn tirin’ for an old fella like me ta carry a large man with a single hand―― Even tho’ their insides are hollow, they got some firm weight ta ‘em which makes it annoyin’.”

Saying that, the white-haired, white-eyebrowed old man―― Olbart, carried the collapsed enemy with his lone left arm, using the tips of his toes to give a light strike to the defensive wall beside. As he did so, the surface of the wall rippled as if it were water, and stuffing the enemy’s body inside, it was swallowed, after which the wall’s surface filled back in.

Fortunately, it seemed like the undead were able to go without breathing, so he could bury them in the walls to settle things without having to kill.

As their hearts did not beat, neither did blood flow. Even supposing he did kill them, sweeping the fragments away with a broom would do the trick; fortunately, dealing with the cleanup was easy. –Arc 8, Chapter 58
 
I still think it's earth manipulation+underground mobility (literally called Earth Release Jutsu), or at most matter manip if they can make non-earthern things soft.
My main issue is with the idea that they can only swim through earth. Matter manipulation would probably be fine. However, as far as I'm aware the ability is completely vague and the only reason earth manipulation is even being discussed is because it's said to be  similar to another earth related ability. The way they are able to interact with just about anything makes it seem not directly earth related itself.
 
just wanted to add a couple of things:


Resistance to Durability Negation: the Yang Sword
Tearing through the dust of the Pruning Corps, which he had cut down, the thrust of the Knight sword, clad in rainbow as it was, was unleashed upon Lamia. Housing an aurora, Julius’s sword thrust even cut through the great shears of the powerful soldiers, as if they were pudding.

However, the Yang Sword held by Lamia released a light and heat more intense than the brilliant rainbow of Julius’s sword, and halted the blow from the thrusting attack head-on.

As light erupted upon the clash of sword on sword, Julius and Lamia both repelled each other.

Arc 8, Chapter 28


Explosion Manipulation: the Yang sword
Kicked in the back, Eugard floated in the air and as he was pounded by Halibel from all directions. From all sides, there were mirror images of wolfmen who swung their hands in karate chops. Eugard, however, was not about to let himself be defeated, and used the Yang Sword’s pulverizing ability against them.

In essence, in the explosion of the atmosphere caused by super-rapid heating, their movement would be disrupted.

The bright, red-hot Yang Sword spun in the explosion, and Eugard’s slash circled in the air as it cleaved all four Halibels in half.

Arc 8 Chapter 50


Enhanced Senses: Dragons
The eyes of the Cloud Dragon, retaining the form of a dragonhusk constructed with a large volume of Mana, perceived that Mana was flowing from the ground into Garfiel with abnormal vigor.

Arc 8, Chapter 55


Power Mimic: Roswaal, Echidna, Sphinx
It was an original magic that had been devised by Julius and his Spirits, and reproducing it required an abnormally large amount of mana consumption, even for Roswaal.

Roswaal was capable of using several types of magic at the same time, but utilizing all six types simultaneously was an act devoid of sanity.

While hearing the sound of his own gate screaming from within him, Roswaal still recreated Julius’s victory condition in order to raise his own chances of winning.

Arc 8 Chapter 53
 
Power Mimic
While Al Clauseria is a more difficult magic, I find Roswaal's copying of Magical Bullets even more impressive since it was mid-combat, while he discussed a counter to Balleroy with Julius before the fight.
That instant, the fired Magical Bullet flew straight, thoroughly destroying the ice spikes that were threatening to pierce the falling Medium. And then――

Roswaal: “――The cause of your defeat, was that you wavered when it came to what was most important.”

Together with the unfeeling voice of the man, a Magical Bullet fired by his opponent pierced Balleroy’s chest, along with the wing of his beloved dragon, bringing this battle of sky to its conclusion. –Arc 8, Chapter 53
 
Yea, if there is anything else that comes up I suggest it go in another CRT after this, I have to get this accepted and applied, and move on to other stuff.

Also running low on time now, only have a week left, and there is multiple other stuff I am doing for other series.
