Name:True Silent Killing
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: D-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Long
Description:As the name suggests, this technique is simply a very quiet method of killing an opponent, usually from behind with a blade. Additionally, because the user is very silent, it cannot be defended against. The user will often slit their opponent's throat, preventing any cry that might give them away. Xander is a master of this technique and is good enough to track and kill opponents through sound alone however with an advanced method very similar to echolocation which maps out the area while he uses his Dances of Ruin. However he improved it further by using it in conjunction with his Illusionary mist which is filled with chakra causing a blinding effect to dojutsu which see chakra as the chakra is the whole mist which when combined with the genjutsu effect of the passive ability is devastating to opponents. It also has a muting effect which drastically lowers the decibels of all sound within the mist to the point that it is only detectable to him allowing all the bloodshed which occurs inside of the mist to be completely and utterly...silent.
Name: Dance of Ruin
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: C-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Short
Description: This is the initial technique which is used to set up the other dances of ruin, Xander courses sound chakra through Basilisk which in turn produces a shell of sound chakra over the blade which greatly strengthens and sharpens the blade due to the vibrations produced by the weapons resonance. This technique gives a constant boost to Basilisk equal to 1-rank higher in durability and 1-rank higher in sharpness.
Name: Dance of Ruin: Allegro
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: B-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Short
Description: Xander projects a highly unstable shell of sound chakra around the blade he uses, creating a hundred little razor-blades made of nothing but the minute vibrations that the sound produces while resonating through the blade. Xander then proceeds to move at high speeds to lay ten times one hundred blows across various bodily areas on his victim. The attack has great armor penetration, most blows temporarily stun the target through sheer pain, and can only be stopped by large amounts of chakra such as tailed cloaks or by A-rank and above weapons. This attack varies in speed with the slowest being done at Bullet release speed and the Fastest at Ripping Discord. It can only be seen by speeds equal or above the current speed that Xander is moving at.
Name: Dance of Ruin: Presto
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: B-rank
Class: Defensive/ Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Description: This is used with the broad side of the blade of choice rather than the cutting edge and is usually used as a defense against other attacks as the user places the blade into the ground, the shell of sound chakra allowing it to drill through the ground at ease, however upon coming in contact with the ground a massive wave of sound is formed like a bubble which shields the user from B-rank attacks with the added effect of knocking back things within 10 feet of the user. If time correctly this technique can literally bounce an opponents attack right back to them.
Name: Dance of Ruin: Andante
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: A-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Mid
Description: A mesh of conflicting air waves stimulated by the resonance through the users weapon upon pouring Sound chakra into it, these air waves are backed and boosted by sound which cause them to tear through the enemy at high speeds easily slicing through up to A-rank defenses with ease. The usual stance is achieved by pointing the blade of choice skyward which then gives a cyclone like effect as the wind around the user is propelled by sound. This technique is actually boosted by wind or water techniques to the point that it is raised by 1-rank by coming in contact with an A-rank or lower wind or water based technique.
Name: Dance of Ruin: Adagio
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: A-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Short
Description: Xander creates a shell of Sound chakra which runs through the blade of choice causing it to give off a unique sound like a tuning fork. Xander then moves forward spinning slowly before he gets to his target which actually catches them off guard as this attack targets other weapons the resonance from the weapon proving enough to destroy S-rank and below weapons of others and shattering them into dust as the intermolecular forces between them are destroyed upon contact.
Name: Dance of Ruin: Grave
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: S-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Mid - Long
Description: This is simply one slash however it releases a wide arc of sound which tears through the sky. This technique is created by rapidly coursing sound chakra through the blade of choice which in turn resonates with the sound producing a very low humming sound. The user then swings the sword while simultaneously cutting of the circulation before rapidly restarting it which triggers the release of the arc of sound which literally divides non-solid defenses in its path no matter the rank namely, water,sand,lightning etc. However it breaks through up to S-rank solid defenses like Earth, Crystal, other weapons. While ideally a ranged technique if it comes in direct contact with an object while in short range the pure power of this technique is showcased as it can deal SS-rank damage to an opponent while retaining the ability to slice through defenses.
Name: Dance of Ruin: Finale
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: SS-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Short
Description: Forgoing any other enhancement to the blade, the user focuses all of his strength into his hands, coiling every muscle in the body to give the maximum of power in the crucial moment of launching. The attack itself is usually a lightning-fast diagonal cut that severs the upper from the lower torso. Normal armor and weapons up to S-rank and below stand no chance of blocking or deflecting the attack as it relies more on pure force than anything else. Only a person of immense strength (SS-rank and above), armed with a very powerful weapon (S-rank and above) could hope to stop it. Once all the built up power is unleashed, the user is propelled at ridiculous speeds (Blinding Light) leaving no time for anything short of a miracle to happen as the blades swings down on the victim. The only problems are the fact that it strains the muscles and tendons of legs and arms greatly, possibly leaving the user incapacitated, and that it requires precise chakra control as just when the blow hits the user resonates Sound chakra through the blade of choice which gives the technique is devastating slicing ability.
