Demonic Sword Rain (魔神千裂破 / 魔神千烈破 Majin Senretsuha?, "Demon God Thousand Fissuring Tears"/"Demon God Thousand Violent Tears") is an arte in the Tales series that serves as a combination of the Demon Fang and Sword Rain: Alpha or Sword Rain artes.
Arte Description and History[]
In every version of Tales of Phantasia, Cress Albane stabs multiple times before sending an energy wave.
In Tales of Eternia, Reid Hershel's variant has him send out the energy wave first. As the arte's requirements use the lower-tier arte Swarm instead, it results the stabbing sequence being much shorter before finishing with a forward thrust. In Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology and Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2, however, the requirements use Sword Rain: Alpha instead, replacing Reid's thrust with a jumping upward slash.
In Tales of the Rays exclusively, Battle Spear Cress will use the execution of Reid's variant in Radiant Mythology and Radiant Mythology 2.
In Cress's version, the fourth kanji is "fissure" (裂 retsu?), whereas in Reid 's version, the kanji is "violent" (烈 retsu?).
