The Water God Style has five secret arts.
The Water God Style founder is the one who created the strongest secret arts.
If you can use three of those five moves, you would be considered as a [God] rank.
Throughout the history of the Water God Style, there were individuals who had mastered four of them, but.......
Only the first generation [God] rank mastered all five of the Water God Style’s secret arts.
Water God Reida Ryia was one such individual having mastered three of the secret arts.
She is an old woman.
Her prime is long past, her abilities are degrading with age.
Regarding this, there is a bit of uncertainty.
About why has she retained the title of Water God.
She was chosen for teaching swordsmanship in the Asura Kingdom for many years.
She has not named a successor even after a dozen years.
Why does she continue bearing the title of the [God] rank of Water God Style?
Is it because she has exceptional talent?
That much is true.
The Water God Reida is unmistakably a genius.
Enough not to be inferior to any of history's Water Gods.
But, be that as it may, she doesn't have so much talent that she'd win over old age.
So is it that there’s no other talent left?
That’s not the case.
Currently, there are several individuals who have mastered three of the secret arts of the Water God Style.
But why didn’t those few consider taking over Reida’s burden as [God] rank in Water God Style.
[They weren’t suitable for that], said one with [Emperor] rank in Water God Style, entrusting that position to Reida.
Why?
That’s because Water God Reida used the two most difficult of the five secret arts.
By combining those two mystic arts, a phantom art is created, which could be called a sixth secret art.
『Deprivation Sword Kingdom』
She strikes from a single stance, be it a swing striking down, up, left or right.
From where she is, it’s possible for her to kill all of her opponents in every direction.
If anyone moves even a step, she will respond to that movement, capable of cutting down everything.
