Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Physiology

• Flame Spirit Oni: As a flame spirit oni Benimaru is a upper tier spiritual lifeform, thus he has no physical body, and exists only as a soul, has eternal youth, and will regenerate as long as the core inside his soul isn't completely destroyed.

Abilities

• Magic Perception: The ability to perceive the surrounding magical energy.
  • In addition, the user is able to observe how waves disturb the nearby magical energy, then use that information to calculate the visual, auditory and other wave-based information of the surroundings. Magic Perception also grants the ability to understand and express the intent of spoken words even if the language of the conversation partner is unknown.
  • Magic Perception enables users to be aware of their environment in battle even if blind or deaf and prevent a surprise attack.

• Telepathy: The ability to communicate with others telepathically.

• Thought Transmission: An improved version of Telepathy which allows for a network where many people can communicate telepathically, has a range of about a kilometer.

• Hell Flare: An ability which creates a ball of fire which absorbs it's target's magical energy to fuel its growth, it then transforms into a 100m dome which burns everything inside to ashes with temperatures reaching several hundred million degrees. When combined with the dark flame, this ability also nullifies resistances to fire attacks.

• Generalissimo: Benimaru's ability which comprehends the entire theater of battle by viewing the entirety of space and sub-space at once. So once he has perceived an opponent, he will not lose them even if they are but a shadow in subspace.

• Multiple Barriers: An ability which surrounds the user with multiple barriers. Defensive barriers prevent the entry of magic power. Except for overwhelming the barrier with magical power, it is nearly impossible to break a barrier. Even the most basic barrier has more than two layers.

• Physical Attack Nullification: An ability that nullifies the effects of physical attacks from opponents who are on comparable levels as the user. To harm someone with this ability requires that attacks aren't purely physical and are infused some sort of ability like aura, energy etc.

• Dim Current Slash: A master swordsman art Benimaru learned from Hakurou. Just like flowing water, the skill wards off everything and deflects it back at the opponent. It is the pinnacle of sword arts, even capable of somewhat deflecting Diablo End of World, which overpowered Shion's fate manipulation.

• Penetration: By adding the penetration attribute to his energy, Benimaru can incapacitate his opponents by causing his opponents flow of magic power to be in disarray. This ability is also designed to be used against opponents stronger than him therefore having multiple strong barriers protecting them, with this ability he is capable of breaking through barriers.

• Demon Flame Transformation: An ability that raises his physical power. It is an ability where he is able to use the properties of his soul body; his bodies strength is transferred to his soul body. This ability also heals any injuries he has.

• Rebirth Flame: An ability which combines the negation properties of the black flame with his aura. Just like flowing water, it cannot be eluded, the flame wraps up and thoroughly burns everything. It was even capable of overpowering Diablo’s Scissors which reaps all lives.

• Blazing Sun Lord Amaterasu: Benimaru’s Ultimate Skill which gives him control over light and heat.

• Breakdown Nostalga: A technique requiring no less than 4 people. With two people, it forms a one-dimensional line of two dots connected, with three people, it forms a two-dimensional triangle, and with four people, it forms a three-dimensional tetrahedron. The tetrahedon encloses its target inside an Absolute Barrier that prevents the energy inside from leaking out. Using this technique Diablo, Dino, Zegion and Benimaru unleashed their strongest abilities, creating a catastrophic, destructive power which was the greatest ever seen since the beginning of the universe. The ability creates a powerful gravitational force towards the center, and consigned everything into oblivion beyond the Event Horizon, in other words, a black hole, as not even light can escape it or teleportation abilities due to it's distorted space.

  • Magic Perception enables users to be aware of their environment in battle even if blind or death and prevent a surprise attack.

Abilities Obtained From Rimuru

• Multi-Dimensional Barrier: An always active, multi-layered barrier which creates an absolute defence by making use of dimensional gaps.

• Turn Null (Nothingness Collapse): A highly destructive magical energy that comes from a chaotic, nuclear dimension. This ability replaces Benimaru's mana with the very same destructive energy from said nuclear dimension that massively boosts his spells. 

• Demon Lord's Ambition: An ability which can cause its targets to become panicked, and if the user desires it, it can even cause its target to become insane and die of madness.

Resistances

• Resistances: Post Harvest Festival Benimaru has the resistances of: Physical Damage Nullification, Pain Nullification, Status Change Nullification, Spirit Attack Resistance, and Nature Effects Resistance. As an Awakened Demon Lord he gained the resistances of: Physical Attack Immunity, Natural Elements Immunity, Abnormal Status Immunity, Mental Attack Resistance, and Hybrid Attack Resistance.

• Ultimate Skill User: As an ultimate skill user, Benimaru understands the laws of the world is thus superior at using magic than anyone who doesn't possess an ultimate skill.^[10] Those who possess an ultimate skill are not affected by lower abilities. Every rule of the world is ultimately reduced to this unique level. In other words, they will not be affected by any form of magic – highest or not, which gives them resistance to numerous abilities such as mind manipulation, death manipulation, matter manipulation, soul manipulation, etc.^[13][14][15] Ordinarily stealing an ultimate skill from its owner is impossible, as the skill is born from them, deep within their soul, and is etched into their nucleic heart which exists within their soul.^[16] Also, the abilities of ultimate skill users can't be analyzed by those with lower skills, in addition, ultimate skill users can know when someone is trying to analyze their abilities, and can give fake information about them.^[17][18]
