"An interesting skill, to cut without harm," Ethan mused as he examined the skill *Living Dissection*. It seemed less of an offensive move and more of a control-type skill, though he still wasn't entirely sure how it worked. With a shrug, Ethan dismissed his questions; he met the learning requirements, so he activated it.

"Now to find someone to try it on," he thought, glancing at the nearby guard. The man hadn't fled or attacked; he just stood there, blankly, almost as if he were in a trance.
"You'll do," Ethan muttered, grinning as he blinked to the guard's side and sliced his neck with a smooth flick of his blade while activating *Living Dissection*.
A soft "whoosh" accompanied the strike as the guard's head toppled clean off his shoulders, yet there was no blood—not a drop. The guard's eyes continued to blink, rolling around in his detached head as if still trying to understand what had happened.
