Lion Breathing

## Story

In the world of demon slayers, the Lion Breathing (Shishi no kokyū ライオンの呼吸) technique was a well-known and powerful style of swordsmanship created by Sensei Jobun. This technique was passed down through generations of demon slayers, and only a select few were deemed worthy of mastering it. With the spirit of the lion by their side, the demon slayer would become faster, stronger, and more agile than ever before. Their sword would glow with a bright golden light, and their strikes would be imbued with the power of the lion. The Lion Breathing technique was particularly effective against demon species that relied on speed and agility. The demon slayer could easily match their opponent's movements and strike with deadly precision. However, mastering the Lion Breathing technique was not without its risks. The power of the lion was fierce and untamed, and those who could not control it risked losing themselves to the beast within. Despite the dangers, the Lion Breathing technique remained a vital part of any demon slayer's arsenal. With the spirit of the lion by their side, they could face even the strongest of demons and emerge victorious.

## Forms

1. **First Form : Panther's Charge:** The demon slayer surges forward, a blur of incredible speed, their blade aglow with a radiant, golden light. With a mighty, downward cleave, they unleash a devastating shockwave that hurls their adversary forcefully to the ground.
2. **Second Form: Claw Dance, Roar:** The slayer springs into the air, poised above their target, and in mid-flight, they unleash a swift sequence of three deep and precise slashes. Upon touching down behind the demon, the slayer delivers a devastating, spine-shattering blow with all their might. This formidable strike often resonates with a resounding roar akin to that of a mighty lion.
3. **Third Form: The Two Cannines:** The slayer dashes in a zigzag pattern, swiftly closing the distance to their adversary. As they draw near, they drive both of their blades into the opponent's elbows with precision, effectively immobilizing them. Without pause, they follow up with a relentless flurry of rapid punches and kicks, forming an unyielding and punishing combination of strikes.
4. **Fourth Form: Dopamine Pawns:** The demon slayer's movements are a blur to their opponent, their strikes unleashed in a rapid succession that mimics the ferocity of lightning bolts, each slash delivering a devastating jolt of force.
5. **Fifth Form: Roaring Cyclone:** The demon slayer spins their sword in a circle, creating a whirlwind of energy that surrounds them. They charge towards their opponent, their sword striking out with incredible speed and power. The force of the strike creates a tornado that engulfs their opponent, tearing them apart.
6. **Sixth Form: Pounces King:** The demon slayer catapults towards their opponent with astonishing speed, delivering a devastating overhead slash of such swiftness and force that it can effortlessly cleave a demon in twain.
7. **Seventh Form: Savane's Cruelty:** The demon slayer swiftly positions themselves beside their opponent, thrusting one blade into the adversary's torso, causing them to collapse. With grim determination, the slayer proceeds to walk alongside the fallen body, scraping it against the unforgiving ground, before punctuating the onslaught by driving their other blade into the target's vulnerable neck. Having executed this critical maneuver, the slayer taps into their formidable strength to hoist the opponent over their own body, setting the stage for an unrelenting barrage of devastating punches. The relentless assault reaches its climax with a bone-shattering, skull-crushing kick that leaves no doubt about the finality of the encounter.
