The risk of using deception and cunning tactics in battle lies right here.
If you successfully deceive the opponent, everything will be in your favor, as you will have firmly grasped the initiative.

In battle, the struggle and control over initiative is an art.

The Demon Hunter's body leaned forward, crouched low, with one hand pressing on the sheath and the other hand gripping the handle, like a spring knife ready to snap open at any moment.
An acute thin line suddenly appeared in front of Lann, emitting a 'screech' as it pierced through the air, leaving a slender trail of airflow.
[Iwami Cross Slash]!
