Spirit Style

Name: Spirit Style (Rei-ryū)

Creator: Corvin

Weapon: Katana (Kishin)

Techniques:

First Form: Kamaitachi(Scythe Weasal)

- Corvin performs spectraliaijutsu draw, unsheathing and striking the target with such velocity that the blade is invisible to the naked eye. The target is sliced by a vacuum-thin, phantom edge before the sound of the sword leaving the scabbard even reaches their ears.

Origin: Spectral Draw

Second Form: Nurikabe (Ghost Wall)

- Corvin executes an immovable counterattack, planting his feet and summoning a massive wall through Kishin's pauldron. After the target's strike is completely neutralized, its power absorbed, Corvin instantly pivots and delivers a lethal retaliation.

Origin: King's Shield

Third Form: Yūrei (Faint Spirit)

- Corvin performs a phasing thrust. His blade becomes translucent and formless, passing through shields, armor, or hides as if they weren't there, damaging the target directly.

Origin: Sacred Sword

Fourth From: Tengu (Mountian Guardian)

- Corvin performs a spiraling aerial slash, leaping high and spinning horizontally in a 360 arc. As he descend, he deliver a massive, wide-arcing cleave that shreds everything in its path.

Origin: Aerial Ace

Fifth From: Kitsune (Nine-Tailed Fox)

- Corvin performs an illusory teleport, leaving behind a flickering afterimage that draws the target's attacks. Simultaneously, he slips through the spirit realm and reappears behind the opponent for a silent, lethal strike.

- This form can also be used purely as a movement technique.

Origin: Shadow Sneak, Double Team

Sixth Form: Oni (Demon Ogre)

- Corvin performs a massive downward cleave, slamming Kishin's pauldron against the back of the blade to boost the strike. The result is a singular, bone-shattering overhead swing powered by the combined weight of both forms.

Origin: Shadow Claw, Head Smash

Seventh Form: Gashadokuro (Starving Skeleton)

- Corvin plants Kishin in the ground, summoning a ribcage and the skeletal hands of a massive spirit skeleton from the earth to crush and restrain the target in place.

Origin: Destiny Bond, Block

Eighth Form: Yamata-no-Orochi (Eight-Headed Serpent)

- Corvin performs a devouring multi-strike. His blade appears to split into eight spectral serpent heads, each striking a vital point simultaneously with inescapable speed.

- The number of strikes can be adjusted at will.

Origin: Spectral Draw, Substitute, Double Team

Final Form: Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons)

- Corvin initiates by invoking Yamata-no-Orochi, his blade splitting into eight spectral strikes poised to strike simultaneously.

- However, in this ultimate form of Spirit Style, each serpent embodies one of the previous forms.
