Kartiyah： Swift Blade of the Abyss, Fate’s Edge Descending Upon the Tides

In a world hailed as a “fantasy paradise,” a mysterious swordsman from the distant West is about to arrive. Her name is Katiusha, a figure who has captivated the hearts of countless martial artists. She is set to transcend the boundaries of time and space in the upcoming “Tide of Resonance,” officially revealing herself to the world on June 12th. As a master of mysterious energy, she wields a divine blade with dual forms, maneuvering between storms and swift lights. Her unique swordsmanship and tactics have left countless heroes in awe.
Though her origins remain unknown, her extraordinary internal cultivation already sets her apart. Katiusha practices the “Swift Blade” technique, a long-lost Western school of swordsmanship that emphasizes speed overcoming all techniques and using the momentum of wind to dominate enemies. Legend has it that the founder of this blade technique was a sword prodigy, whose centuries of refinement culminated in this divine skill. It was no coincidence that Katiusha mastered this forgotten art—it was destined.
Her divine blade, also named “Katiusha,” is equally astonishing. Its blade is as calm as autumn water, its glow as gentle as spring breeze. This celestial weapon not only grants her astonishing basic blade techniques but also bestows her with a unique sword aura. It is said that this blade, known as “Heaven’s Mandate,” can only be wielded by a swordsman of pure heart and exceptional talent.
Her blade technique is divided into three realms: “Sword Aura Mastery,” “Sword Aura Ascendence,” and “Sword Intent Comprehension.” The first realm, “Sword Aura Mastery,” is the foundation, yet its intricacies are boundless. Each strike flows like relentless spring rain. The final technique in this realm is extraordinary, summoning the “Divine Blade’s Shadow,” descending like heavenly soldiers to aid her. If executed by someone with profound inner strength, it can summon the “Mystic Blade’s Shadow,” with infinite power. When performed mid-air, it becomes even more miraculous, recalling all “Blade Shadows” to amplify the descending attack, doubling its might.
The second realm is her signature killing technique, “This Sword Bears a Name.” When unleashed, her sword aura overwhelms like a surging river, unstoppable. More miraculously, it summons the “Human Blade’s Shadow,” guarding her like a protective charm. When in the “Fleurdelis” form, this technique is renamed “This Sword Embodies the Tide’s Fury,” with even sharper sword aura. With a single lament, she shakes the heavens and earth, conjuring a gravity field to pull in enemies from all directions and annihilate them. The technique becomes even more wondrous when used consecutively, summoning a colossal blade shadow on the second cast, descending like heavenly judgment, leaving enemies in disarray.
Her ultimate technique, “Listen to the Knight’s Heartfelt Prayer,” named “The Furious Blade of the Storm,” is her most unparalleled skill. To execute this technique, she must first transform into “Fleurdelis,” despite her heavily injured state and halved health. Yet, like a phoenix reborn, her inner strength surges. Each subsequent blade technique accumulates “Resolve,” and when full, a single swing unleashes a tempest of wind and rain.
