Keotsu observed quietly as Tenshouha relieved the blessings of the Prayers from Ishiro, and wiped out Keotsu's "spirit world" with its incredible force. It truly was a devastating force, like the armies of Heaven marching to war. But, like such a force, it left a since of renewal in its wake, as destruction was not its purpose. It's purpose was simple to end, war.
"I've but one final technique to give to you. It's power is not of the Prayers, and may seem feeble in comparison. But, this technique synergies with those techniques beautifully, and is arguably just as important to me as the Prayers are.
The technique is a simple one: you will release you chakra from your blade with a certain type of rotational quality to it. From there on out, techniques that do not overpower this...rotational, magnetic, pull that your chakra has, will be drawn towards and into your blade. While this is dangerous in itself, it makes using the Prayers easier. With my blade Mythos boosting it's strength, the Prayers and this technique made me all but invincible.
Here, I bestow upon you the knowledge to command the God of Thunder himself."

Description: The Kenjutsu technique allows Swordsmen to more easily fight against Shinboi attacks of all sorts; the user will activate this technique by quickly focusing chakra into their weapon and spinning it in a complete circle in front of them. After this simple ritual is completed, a “magnetic” burst of chakra is released all around the user that causes all foreign chakra to be condensed as it approaches the user. Ultimately, the “magnetized” chakra will be drawn into the user’s weapon, effectively concentrating even large scale jutsu into simple, yet still equally powerful, streams or orbs, depending on the incoming techniques composition. This technique can easily be described as turning the user's weapon into a "Chakra Lightning-rod", thus the name.
*The strength of drawn in techniques does not diminish at all, and if the user doesn’t counter the techniques, the chakra will flow into the user’s body via the weapon and do full damage or preform its intended purpose
*Once activated, this remains active for four turns, but it’s effect is only valid while the user is holding a weapon.
*Only useable 4 times per battle.
*This jutsu only effects "non-solid" techniques like Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, or objects like mud. Techniques with a sturdy molecular composition won't be affected by this technique, such as Earth or Ice, but does nothing to change their effects if they are not dealt with.
Keotsu took a deep breath. He could still hear the sea, still feel the breeze. Feel the supple grass underhand, where his physical body was. This place was beyond his help. It would not change unless it wanted to. But he could give those whom he saw the glimmer, the spark, the flame of hope in his power, so that they could continue to survive. Even Mythos, whose name meant "Blade of Legend" was a three-times reforged form of Keotsu's original sword, Mikomi. "The Blade of Hope."
"Ishiro. I have bestowed upon you most of the power I came to possess. While you do not have the sword I had that made these things a Commander of the battlefield, their power will still benefit you greatly.
Regardless of the Darkness, of the hate, of the pain...Never forsake the light. Fight for what you believe in, and fight for a world of everlasting peace. With these powers, someday, I hope, you can bring forth a world where there is no need to fight."
Keotsu felt his body slipping away from the realm, in a soft, gentle, golden glow, like the sunset over the ocean.
With his spirit leaving this place, Keotsu offered his final words to Ishiro.
"Go, and do not falter, my child."
