Re: The Steel Summit
(Koton: Niiro Kokuou Tenma Azuma) – Steel Release: The Red King, Infernal of the East
Type: Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 50 (-10 chakra per turn)
Damage points: N/A (-20 damage to the user)
Description: While Glory of Galahad is active, the user will focus their koton chakra throughout their body to create a knight of steel who's body reflects the user's body exactly. He will be the same shape, size and possess the same durability. Upon creation, the user will apply a similar ability to Fire Release: Rage of the Furnace to the knight, in order to superheat the steel which composes him to an incredible degree. The fortification in the aforementioned technique will be magnified trine as his body reaches a temperature which far exceeds the named technique. The heat is so great he will liquefy into molten steel but retain his shape and form before cooling down one turn later. The fortification is complete when he solidifies and his body will retain the crimson red complexion of his molten state. As the pinnacle of sentient creations, the Red King is capable of a myriad of abilities, all of which follow the theme of "molten metal". His abilities can essentially be grouped under the following three terms: the creation of molten metal, the manipulation of molten metal and transforming into molten metal. His first and only passive ability is his capability to use every steel technique the user knows as if "Steel Release: Blood of the Dragon" was applied. What this essentially means is all of his techniques can be created as molten rather than solid steel but they will be capable of maintaining their shape and form if the user wishes. This does not have to be applied to every technique, he can simply choose which he wants to be solid and which will be molten. As an alternative method of creating molten steel, he can focus his chakra into any steel on the field and liquefy it, turning it into molten steel. This is can only be used once per turn, is an A-Rank ability and as such can only overpower B-Rank or below techniques of the opponent's. Similar to Gawain from Knights of the Round Table, he can manipulate any molten steel on the field through hand gestures alone. This too can only be performed once every two turns and his manipulation will be equivalent to S-Rank. Both the user and the Red King will be unable to use S-Rank or above Steel in the next turn when the manipulation ability is used. His third and final ability is his main attribute. The Red King possess the capability to transform into his body into molten steel at will, whether partially or fully and he can travel as a wave at the user's current speed. Similar to his techniques, he can instead choose to maintain his shape and form much like he did before in his original molten state. He can freely transition between solid and molten but transforming into molten steel will count as a move, reverting to a solid will be passive. Through a special application of his molten transformation, the Red King can use it as a means of increasing his durability. Upon being struck with a fire technique who's power is insufficient in destroying him (e.g A-Rank fireball), he can liquefy his entire body and use the ambient heat from the katon jutsu to "temper" himself, essentially strengthen the metal beyond it's normal limits. This will happen every time he's struck by a fire technique too weak to destroy him and each time it does, his immunity to techniques will increase by 20 damage points. In this molten state, the Red King is still weak to Lightning Release. Using this technique takes a very serious toll on the user, leaving them physically exhausted for two turns after the Red King is deactivated/destroyed (speed decreases by 2 ranks).
Note: Lasts for four turns and can only be used once per battle
Note: All of his abilities count as one of the user's three moves per turn
Note: When the Red King is deactivated or destroyed, the user will be unable to use Steel Release for the rest of the battle
