Hazy Style

The Hazy Style (朧流) is a family of sword arts intermingled with aura centric techniques to dispel evil and fight Spectres and Monsters. It was created by Byakuya Araki and passed down to his grandson Hakurou. It was also introduced in Tatsuya Kondou's world by Byakuya's younger brother.

This is the sword style used by most of the main characters in the series including Rimuru Tempest and Benimaru.

Known Arts

 * Lightning Gale (ぐ疾風雷覇): A horizontal cleaving technique.
 * Purple Lightning Thrust (紫電突): An extremely quick thrusting technique.
 * Thunder of Heaven and Earth (地天轟雷): One of the basic techniques of the hazy style. The user slashes the opponent from underneath then immediately follows it up with a downward strike.
 * Flowing Water Slash (流水斬): An advanced technique of the hazy style. The user parries their opponents attacks using their force against them and slashes them with a sword that flows like water down a stream.
 * Black Flame Slash (黒炎斬): Benimaru's take on the hazy style. The user coats their sword in Black Flame, delivering a devastating slash.
 * Plum Blossoms - Five Petals Thrust (──): One of the "mysteries" of the hazy style. The user pierces the opponent in five of ten vital points and uses the other five as feints. The vital points targetted are the eyes, throat, heart, kidneys, lungs, shoulders, and groin.
 * Pomegranate Blossoms - Six Petals Slash (──): One of the "mysteries" of the hazy style. It's a non-lethal attack that disables the target with extreme speed slashes.
 * Willow Blossoms - Seven Petals (──): One of the "mysteries" of the hazy style. It is said to be able to gently parry and disperse the enemy’s attack.
 * Cherry Blossoms - Eight Petals Flash (──): One of the "mysteries" of the hazy style. It attacks the targets eyes, throat, heart, kidneys, lungs, and groin with eight consecutive and near instant slashes.
 * Haze・Hundred Petals Rush (・): Carrera's take on the Hazy Style after taking Agera's experience as her own, and her greatest technique. The user delivers devastating strikes in the form of a hundred sword flash that transcend the speed of "Cherry Blossom - Eight Petals Flash".
 * Black Flame Haze・Hundred Petals Rush (・): Benimaru's take on Carrera's technique after seeing it in action. The user adds a superheated Black Flame to their sword using the power of Amaterasu and accelerates their body with its "Light and Heat Domination" to reach divine speed, delivering devastating strikes that cut and burn their enemy to nothing.
 * Imaginary Collapse Haze・Myriad Variety Petals (・): Rimuru Tempest and Ciel's take on the Hazy Style and their greatest technique together. The sword's trajectory changes thousands upon thousands of times and slices through the enemy with elusive movements and impeccable power, pulverizing the target into dust and scattering it like a flower. The combination of the flexibility of a Slime and the toughness of a True Dragon enabled the two of them to achieve such an incomprehensible technique.
