閃覇瞬連陣 - Shining Champion's Flashing Blade

Moon lowers his stance, bringing his blade to his side, then, in an instant flying forward towards an enemy; essence swirling around his blade, delivering one final blow to the foe, leaving a brilliant arc of essence across the arc, bright enough to cut the sky itself; as an added effect; if this is used to attack an enemy during a fall; there is a good chance the force of the blow will send them flying backward, killing their momentum, removing the danger of crashing into the ground at terminal speed.
