Ivan Reid fully embodied the meaning of the motto of his sword school.
"As light as a cloud, as heavy as a storm!"
The Cloudstrider Sword Style may possess an abundance of techniques that caused its practitioner to become illusive and light, but the innovations of subsequent swordmasters caused it to gain a different approach.
When some of the methods of the original sword style were reversed, its practitioners became capable of borrowing the power of the storm to strengthen their attacks!
Their steps became heavier and their energy depletion grew more serious, but the reward for all of this was power!
Ketis had already been caught off-guard by Ivan's initial manifestation of the storm. Now that she knew what to expect, she did not lose her sword a second time!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
