Knight Run

[Uoruk]

Just gonna make a quick overview of some characters I plan to use in the future and it'd be easier having everything in one place

I had a lot of scans for feats from earlier in the series but honestly they're made pretty irrelevant to everything thats happened more recently. Just assume a lot of these feats scale retroactively to a moderately healthy MC (Anne Meyer) and Pray Meyer.


Keeping it short and sweet lets start with some Black Excellence


Dike The Black Saint

Spoiler

Dike is currently the commissioner for Dry's AL and serves as one of it's generals. He possesses what is considered the strongest artificial body (with the only one coming close being Leah) and his "Sacred Armaments" his Armor and Axe "0" which are capable of absorbing all types of energy. Dike is heralded as being the strongest of the Cold Heroes even before being Frozen. After being thawed it's noted that unlike everyone else who got weaker Dike hasn't lost an ounce of strength making him nearly invincible in the current era.




Another Cold Hero, Diorasis states that Dike has never been injured

Spoiler

Just before this he noted as having waltzed through a bombing

Spoiler

What kind of bombing you ask? Oh nothing, just the kind that usually destroys planets

Spoiler

He's also an even match for Leah if not stronger than her in raw power which is saying something considering her feats.
Here we have him countering Green Ring which is known for being able to distort space for maximum penetration power

Spoiler

He also straight up overpowers it's core with raw strength

Mind you this fight started on the planet before Leah's thrust sent them to space

Spoiler

They're even so fast that onlookers believe they're watching a fleet battle

And back down again

Spoiler

I also posted these in another thread but might as well post them here.


Dike tanks Leah's "Octahedron Burster Head", the weapon she used to content with Satan's boundary wielded by Type Zero Lucifer at it's max output with virtually no damage before breaking it.

Spoiler

He's also capable of physically contending with Leah even if momentarily

Spoiler

Mind you Leah eats nukes to the face

In short, guy is easily top 5. Top 3 without hype for certain characters

 

[Uoruk]

Next up we have Sophie Vista known as "The Ice Witch" or Ice Arcueid as I like to call her.

Spoiler

Sophie is another cold hero that was awoken with the rest. Originally she wasn't a Knight. Essentially she was created as the guardian for an artificial planet and given suitable power to match. Then she got bored and decided to join the knights. She managed to achieved the rank of top sword and stalemated Dike.

Spoiler

Her ability is ice creation but its less "ice" and more of an exotic material thats also capable of interfering with energy and radio waves.

Spoiler

As a former Top Sword she's good at melee combat

Spoiler

For context for the next part.


The next few feats are performed by the characters Maria and Michael. However, every feat attributed to Michael and Maria would count for Sophie as Sophie is the original. Before Sophie went to sleep as a cold hero she created physical manifestations of her power, essentially clones, and left them to defend the planet. Some of the clones developed free will though and refused to rejoin her when she came back to claim her power. It's a bit more complicated but the gist should be enough

So that being said


We have Maria creating storms that can be seen from space

Spoiler

Maria and her brother also happen to be Planet Synchronizers. Maria is noted as being Sophie's power of synchronization (Michael himself is "Power") which allows them to connect and use the planet's energy or for detection.

Spoiler

Michael can perform a power sealing tech that covers the planet

The explanation of what a Planet Synchronizer does

Maria can also detect people from kilometers away

Spoiler

Then after she deals with the fodder

Michael counter attacks with "Snowflake" at 40% output

Spoiler

At one point Michael crushes her some of her strongest ice with his barehands which she noted only Dike has done in the past

Spoiler

He's also able to spam the same "hard" ice effortlessly

Spoiler

Breaking her most compressed ice. She notes his body is superior to her originals

Spoiler

Sophie as the original Vista is capable of summoning Vista's Ice castle.

Spoiler

Michael is able to overwrite her authority over the castle (by virtue of having the majority of her power) and compress it to use as an amp. She even notes he's similar to Dike in this mode

Spoiler

We find out later the castles (Diorasis has his own but we'll get to him later) are able to fix the damage Leah did when she tried to use Boundary to destroy the planet

Spoiler

The only reason she even wins the fight against Michael and Maria?

Spoiler

The swords she was wielding actually belonged to Michael and Maria's parents. They posses anti-ice alchemy properties specifically for killing Sophie since they knew at some point Sophie would have to reclaim her power which meant the deaths of everyone in the family including the kids. After having killed their parents and taken the swords she didn't have thee heart to kill them as children and didn't want to use their parents sword to kill their children.

Spoiler

And the power returning to her after their deaths. Note the instant transformation to her original form showing the transfer of power back to her

Spoiler: Sadness

With that, she should be capable of replicating anything they were able to do.

The fact that after the absorption she was able to manifest the castle almost effortless should reinforce the idea that all of Michael and Maria's power should be added to her own.

That about wraps things up for the coldest bitch in the universe ()

 

[Uoruk]

Our next Hero is a man whos resume speaks for itself

Diorasis IV aka "The Emperor"

Spoiler

Diorasis is a Cold Hero and Planet synchronizer who's power is barriers. He and his sister are artificial homunculi. One day he decided to take over his home planet and kill anyone who disagreed. He also happens to be the 2nd husband of the main character Anne. Sidenote, he and his sister are completely unhinged, reveling in war and death.

He can use them to both attack and defend (The reason the guys lance goes through the barrier is the lance has anti-holy properties which tend to fuck with waves and paranormal powers to an extent)

Spoiler

Mind you his barriers are able to take damage on the same level of Dike as noted by Dike himself when he's surprised someone other than them survived the planetary photon bombs (read the Dike post.)

Spoiler

The speed of his attacks is also so fast even Anne (considered one of the top 4 in the series) can't react properly and has to predict his attacks

Spoiler

As a matter of fact unless you're strong enough just getting near/being in the barrier will kill you

Spoiler

Being a Cold Hero Dio is also gifted with incredible Physical strength

Spoiler

Dio also poses a special sword called "Queen of Blood"

Spoiler

Anne describes him as the strongest of all of mankind

Spoiler

He's good enough to match Anne in swordsmanship even though in overall skill he's below her. At one point they release a blast that stretches into space and visibly causes a distortion in his planetary seal seen from space.

Spoiler

Once he activates the swords level 2 though he breaks her sword easily. He gains access to even stronger and faster barriers which he uses in tandem with the normal ones. Anne notes his sword was created by sacrificing an entire planet.

Spoiler

The "Divine Beast"

Spoiler

He also survives getting shot by a warship that weaponized a literal curse that kills you

Spoiler

He also low diffs a member of the Leonhard family who was boosted to temporarily match Dry's father in a fight with his bare hands

Spoiler

However, none of these are even his MAIN ABILITY . Almost all of this was done while he had to split his attention between fighting and summoning the castle. What is The Castle exactly?

Diorasis' specialty is "Planet Sealing". Together with his sister (though he can do it without her it just takes longer) they can lock access to a planet. This is done by erecting the 6 pillars of his castle which does take time.

Spoiler

Because of his ability, all of the enemy forces concentrated their attacks on his barrier. Remember this scan?

Spoiler

3 out of 4 of those were aimed at Diorasis to break a single pillar of his castle. The result?

Spoiler

When Diorasis is actively concentrating on defense it's nearly impossible to break his barriers.

What happens when all 6 pillars are up? I'd say run but there's nowhere to go

Spoiler

It also amplifies his barrier powers

Spoiler

The most devious of all though is when he's given access to Chimeras. Essentially because of their nature he can use Chimeras as conduits to spread his barriers. Check the results yourself

Spoiler

All hail The Emperor

 

[Uoruk]

Our next man needs no introduction.

Spoiler

Dry Leonhard was a Top Sword of the Knights Order before he had the Knights disbanded (kicking off the Knight Fall arc) and formed the AL. Being a Leonhard his paranormal power is fire. In terms of skill and ability he is one of the 4 individuals noted to be absolute monsters and the strongest of the verse. These would be Himself, Leah Zail, a healthy main character (Anne Meyer) and Pray Meyer who herself was constantly touted as the strongest. It should be noted Pray herself stated Dry in terms of ability has always been stronger but he would hesitate whenever victory wasn't 100% certain.



Pray stating Dry is stronger

Spoiler

We even see Dry low diff another former Top Sword and fellow Leonhard clan member Milo offscreen. Man didn't even knock off his glasses

Spoiler

and a while later

Later on he fights "White Terror/Fear" who is said to be on Pray's level multile times and she seals the space they're fightning in to avoid interruptions.

Spoiler

Later on Dry cuts right through it

After the Pray War Dry gets strong enough to do shit like this. Mind you one of the things he burned is a Morglay which is a weapon designed for destroying planet cores.

Spoiler

Morglay's introduction. The result of this was the planet freezing in a few days time causing everyone to have to evacuate

Spoiler

He also possesses a technique called Mandala which allows him analyze all possible known variables of a situation and force the future he wants to manifest. The weakness of the ability comes from the fact that he has to know a variable exists in order to take it into consideration. It's also extremely risky as fucking up has the chance of erasing you from reality.

Spoiler

He incorporated Pray Style into it which is significant because Pray Style has the effect of canceling out paranormal powers. Granted the most effective user of Pray Style is Pray herself who kinda breaks AB swords cuz they can't handle her.

Spoiler

Through his training with the use of Mandala Dry achieved something known as the Authority of Fire which allows him to control and absorb other flames.

Spoiler

It also allows him to create a miniature sun which people confused for a second sun

Spoiler

It was also strong enough to disable both the Nova Engine and The Boundary (as well as radio and communication signals in general), a potential star level weapon and A palnetary+ weapon respectively

Spoiler

He can also compress it and use it for combat and it easily eats through one of Leah's strongest attacks as well as her which is impressive considering she's the most durable character in the series.

Spoiler

However, the ability to control fire isn't the true nature of authority. Its the ability to counter everything as described by Kasim, one of the oldest Cold Heroes.

Spoiler

Hell he's also able to contend with Leah even better than Dike which is saying something since Dry doesn't possess an artificial body like they do.

Spoiler

Dry by feats is easily the strongest of the verse currently. His defeat of Leah and the Cold Heroes choosing to follow him are a testament to his strength. The fact that his coats cost the gdp of a small nation are just bonus points.

 

[Uoruk]

Next up is the woman of the hour Leah Zail or as I call her Princess Unga Bunga.

Spoiler

Leah Zail is the first born daughter of house Zail. She was genetically engineered to be the guardian of the Zail family combining the dna of its strongest members with that of the Thorn King Levan Zail. She was good friends with the main characters and Dry until a certain incident and Dry disbanding the Knights Order causing her to oppose him with the remnants of said order. She possesses a number of AB swords as well as Satan's boundary, an anti-planetary weapon.


Once again, as the product of genetic engineering she was born strong. Even as a child she was already a monster

Spoiler

The Thorn King is also said to have beaten The Emperor and over threw him.

This is heavily implied to have been Diorasis which explains the animosity between them. It would also explain how even Dike knows who King Levan is.

The Zails also posses the ability of inertial site which allows them to visualize gravity and inertia which she would have as well.

Spoiler

The main ability of the Zails however is the manipulation of Gravity and Electromagnetism. In fact, one guy after being disgraced by Leah's mother trained for 3 decades to the point where he could compress his power enough to create pseudo black holes that could bend space itself.

Spoiler

Yeah it didn't do much for him when facing Leah

Spoiler

She also eats nukes to the face with them only being a method to temporarily blind her

Spoiler

She was sent to retrieve The Boundary from Lucifer who was using Satan's boundary which gives us the most impressive destructive feat visually as well as the best durability feat in the series.

Spoiler

After Retrieving Boundary she adds it to her repertoire of weapons

Spoiler

Speaking of weapons, her Octahedral Burster Head was able to contend with Satan's boundary and she notes because of her body she's the only one that can withstand it's force

Spoiler

She's also physically the strongest character in the series. Because she usually fights in space she has to limit herself when off planet to reserve oxygen. When on planet though she switches modes which allows her to breath. She even creates a vacuum in the area the first time she takes a breath.

Spoiler

After realizing Dike absorbs all manner of energy attack she kicks Dike's axe out of his hands and into space

Spoiler

And then proceeds to start kicking his ass with her barehands. He even notes she can still move effortlessly even after taking what should have been a fatal blow.

She even shatters his armor

Before the ultimate final clash

She's also quite the Determinator which is helped by her current mental state being completely unhinged. She had already been in a fight with Dike well before she fights Dry and even being exhausted she shrugs off things that should be fatal like a joke.

Spoiler

Even in this state her just making a fist was enough to make everyone around start shitting themselves.

Spoiler

.

Dry defeats the technique using authority (see scans in his post) but....

Spoiler

Anne jumpin in to stop Leah is probably the only reason Dry's alive at the moment

Overall Leah is a monster in a series full of monsters.

 

[Uoruk]

Have to add this separate because of the 50 images rule but for durability she also takes Greenring fired by Diorasis (which distorts space for maximum penetrating power) to the head which only dazes her a bit.

Spoiler

So yeah, monster

 

[Uoruk]

Since it'd be easier to do both at the same time and theyre relatively short this time it'll be a double feature for two sleeper High/top tiers.

Introducing Leo

and his older sister Lenny

Spoiler

Both Leo and his sister are the survivors of war that claimed most of their people. They were taken in when they were kids by Anne Meyer and taught Revised Pray style. However Leo also managed to learn original pray style on his own (despite the fact that his body isn't suited for it as Pray Style was originaly developed and used by Pray who was short af )and later on the Arang style Garou uses. He's constantly noted by the strongest characters as having top tier potential and an abnormal affinity for wave and wave techniques. Several characters including Dry and Garou have focused their efforts on cultivating his talent believing he'll play a crucial role in shaping humanities future, even if they both have differing reasons for doing so. He became both the youngest Master Knight in the Orders history as well as the youngest Zero Breaker, a title even master knights struggle to obtain.

Garou commenting on Leo's potential

Spoiler

Just a note, "Star Breaker" is the secret technique Garou is talking about which was taught to him by Pray herself as a trump card.



His sister Lenny became strong enough to earn her spot as No. 2 in the Knights Order only being 2nd to Dry Fucking Leonhard. Although she learned Pray Style she uses the Six Demon One God style. It's similar in power to Pray style and just like it, most people can't learn it. However, having the paranormal ability of a curser She alone suffers no drawbacks when using the style to the point where she revises it to the Twelve Demon 2 gods style. She's also completely obsessed with her brother to the point its creepy.

They both also share a connection with each other. Both of them have the power to utilize the souls of their dead race to increase their power and when either uses it it causes them pain. Leo uses these souls when practicing or developing his wave techniques since the techniques themselves require him to risk his life in order to achieve it.



Kicking things off, since she's mainly hype (at least at the moment ) we'll start with Lenny although these are still feats for Leo considering who Lenny is.

In terms of just skill Lenny is still ahead of Leo by a decent margin.

Spoiler

In terms of Wave techniques it's a different story.

Spoiler

The aftermath of their clash left a hole 17km deep into the planet and completely vaporized the surrounding area and city, including a city sized AG. Tbf though this could mostly be attributed to Leo as Lenny notes his attack negated hers which is something on or beyond the level of Dry Leonhard. Also note that Dike mr Invincible himself of all people is surprised Lenny could even be hurt and that should she keep misbahving Dry might actualy turn her into a cold hero suggesting she's easily in the same Ballpark as them. Did I mention both of them were actually still holding back? Granted Star Breaker is Leo's trump card and not something he can spam.

Spoiler

Also, just to note what was there before their clash.

When fighting Garou for the first time he notes Garou's swordsmanship is on par with Anne or Lenny's. Dry also calls Garou a Leah level threat, again suggesting theyre all in the same ballpark. We also see Dry wants Leo to get stronger as he plans to add Leo to his team (which includes guys like Diorasis and Dike).

Spoiler

That's about it for Lenny. As for Leo? Well.....

Speaking of his first fight with Garou, Garou was surpised Leo was able to learn colored wave techniques since that's normally not possible and he even managed to bring him to his knees with a glancing blow. The potency of it was also so strong it lingered even after their fight and still had the potential to kill people.

Spoiler

Dry also has Leo fight a Cold Hero, Diorasis' sister (considered the weakest of the Cold Heroes) and believed in Leo's potential so completely he was willing to let her die if it meant awakening Leo.

Spoiler

Understanding he can't do it again she presses her attack. However, he sacrifices some of the souls of his people to develope a technique that uses both Pray Style and the Arang style used by Garou

In his final confrontation with Garou he was initialy outmatched until he started sacrificing more souls to use more Wave techs with Garou once again commenting on his potential and how he's loved by waves.

Spoiler

In short both siblings are High tiers with Leo having the potential to reach top in the future.

 

[Uoruk]

I've posted his feats in another thread so I'm just gonna quote em here. Regardless the main still deserves his own overview.



Introducing Garou Rata



Another member of the Black Excellence Society along with Dike

Spoiler

Garou Rata aka The Wolf is currently Leah's second in command. Like Dike, Garou specialized in fighting and killing Knights. He however was given the express permission to do so under the direct command of Mother Knight, the progenitor of the Knights Order earning him the fear of most Knights. In terms of skill he is far and way the BEST in the series so far having helped Anne develope her Revised Pray Style and being considered as strong as the big 4 (Anne, Pray,Dry,Leah) and even matched Sophie (another Top Sword and one of the oldest Knights) while sick and dying.

Spoiler: swordsmanship

He's constantly noted as having reached the peak of swordsmanship

Blood is so good he can create dimensional interference patterns with just his sword movements and thats without being able to see them

He's also able to cause material collapse in matter (he aimed at the ground on purpose btw)

Leah entrust the use of Boundary to him deeming him the only person that could possibly handle it. He's able to use it to match AB sword "0" which practically requires immortality to use

Again mind you, these were all done well past his prime physical condition. At his best the only person he ever had doubts about fighting was Dry (which also goes to show just how ridiculous Dry himself is)
