The Lionhart Blood Awakening, an exclusive set of techniques known only to members of the direct line, was a closely guarded secret within the Lionhart family. This formidable set of techniques was divided into five gates, each more powerful and perilous than the last.
The first gate, while considered the weakest, was also the most dangerous, as it required the user to sacrifice their life force rather than relying on conventional mana. This aspect made it a double-edged sword, capable of unleashing devastating power at the cost of the practitioner's own vitality.
The techniques of the Lionhart Blood Awakening were strictly forbidden except in the direst of circumstances, typically reserved as a last resort when facing imminent death. By invoking one of these techniques, Ygriss had flagrantly disregarded the rules set forth by the Lionhart direct members, breaking a sacred taboo within their lineage.
