Hengen Muso
After learning how to control life force (or chi) from Elrasla, Atla and S'yne, Naofumi became able to repel or redirect attacks including defence-rating or defence-ignoring attacks. It turns out that the Legendary Shield makes Naofumi's flow of life force quite unusual. As a result, he is only able to use a select few defensive or evasive techniques.

Uses life force to bend the trajectory of magical attacks to the user. The diameter of this technique is 10 feet but can be larger with more life force. Creates an invisible wall that can stop magical and physical attacks for a few seconds. It is very versatile in shape but weak in actual defensive power. Allows the collected magical attacks to be concentrated and then thrown back at the enemy. Allows the attack this technique is combined with to become a defence-ignoring or defence-rating attack. Naofumi is only able to use this when the Legendary Shield is suppressed. A lost technique of the Hengen Muso style where magic is collected using the gather technique and send it flying away.

This also allows him to set restrictions or punish the slaves. However, he has only used this functionality to save those who are in immediate danger. Wielders of Legendary or Vassal weapons cannot receive a slave crest and any crest they had when receiving the weapon will disappear.


 * C'mon Raph「カモンラフ Kamon Rafu」

This skill allows Naofumi to summon his Shikigami Raph-chan. This skill is flexible as Raph-chan can bring other shikigami or members of the Raph race along with the skill.


 * Mind of the Demon Dragon

After reviving the Demon Dragon, the master of magic in Glass' World, the dragon placed a copy of her personality into Naofumi's head. This personality assists Naofumi in casting magic and can intimidate other creatures with its presence.
