Final Push

'What's going on? It doesn't hurt?' Hiroto thought to himself in disbelief, as he could feel his body working again. Pulling the sword covered in his own blood out of his shoulder, Hiroto stood up straight again.

"Haah. Haa. Hah." Muzan breathed heavily, blood pouring out of his mouth as his disheveled hair covered his face full of sweat and blood.

'I can't lift my arm up. My body feels like a heavy lump.' Muzan thought, seeing Inosuke and Zenitsu get up from the ground, despite their bodies being broken and tattered.

Looking towards Hiroto, Muzan locked eyes with him and said, "You damn pests. I crush you again and again, but you don't die. You surge and surge. You stand up again and again. Until dawn. Until the moment I draw my last breath.

Hiroto raised his heavy arms in front of him, gripping his sword tightly. "No matter… hah… No matter how many times you beat us down. We'll always get back up. Whatever it takes… hah… to take you down, we'll push on even with our broken bodies."

Hiroto turned to the side, "Haah. Zenitsu… Inosuke. Stay back. Don't push yourselves anymore than necessary. Hahh." Hiroto breathed with an irregular pattern, as he tried to stabilize his breath from his crushed lungs that were slowly being regenerated.

"No," Zenitsu replied, we're still able to fight. We're all going to put Muzan down if it's the last thing we do.

Inosuke slowly nodded his head, too tired to speak for once.

The two then jumped forward ahead of Hiroto and began their attacks.

'Breath of the Beast, Fourth Fang: Slice "N" Dice'

Inosuke swung his broken swords in multiple diagonal doubles slashes, deflecting and slicing at Muzan's spikes.

'Breath of Thunder, God Speed, Thunderclap Flash

Zenitsu flashed forward with incredible speed, pushing his legs to the absolute limit as he surged past Muzan, cutting the side of his body at the same time.

'Breath of Thunder, Seventh Form: Flaming Thunder God'

Zenitsu created a dragon-like creature emitting fire and thunder behind him, as he jumped into the air and cut down into Muzan's body, leaving him gushing out blood from his chest.

*crash* Zenitsu tumbled on the ground after the attack, as Muzan retaliated and swiped his hand forward.

'Dance of the Fire God, Flash Dance'

Hiroto surged forward, feeling his legs being out under even more pressure as he cut through Muzan's arm in one go, leaving him to pull back and regenerate them.

'Breath of the Beast, Fifth Fang, Mad Cleave'

Inosuke descended upon Muzan from the side, slicing in every direction at Muzan's spikes.

*BOOM*

Muzan released a close-range shockwave directed towards Inosuke, causing him to be knocked away. Using this chance, Muzan continued his attack on Inosuke.

"Inosuke!!" Zenitsu cried out.

'Dance of the Fire God, Burning Bones, Summer Sun'

Tanjiro jumped forward in front of Inosuke and swung his sword in a circular slash, protecting Inosuke from Muzan's imminent attack, cutting off his arm.

Hiroto appeared from behind Muzan.

'Breath of the Sun, Fire Wheel'

Hiroto leaped into the air, spinning and releasing his attack in a circular motion, cleaving into Muzan's back.

"Grahhh!!" Muzan cried out, whipping his arm around and slamming it into Hiroto's side. Hiroto barely managed to block the blow with the sword as he landed on the ground.

'Breath of the Sun, Solar Heat Haze'

Tanjiro charged towards Muzan, attacking him with a haze covered slash. Hiroto followed up from behind.

'Breath of the Sun, Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance, Flame Dance'

Hiroto moved forward in circles, avoiding Muzan's attacks while slashing towards him multiple times. Muzan was caught between Hiroto and Tanjiro's attack, being pressured from the front and back.

Both Hiroto and Tanjiro performed their two-combo strike, starting with a vertical slash then a horizontal right after it. However, just as Tanjiro was about to land his attack, he coughed out blood, causing him to stumble.

'Crap!' Tanjiro thought, as Muzan took this chance to swipe his arm towards Tanjiro's head.

'Breath of the Beast, Sixth Fang: Jagged Gnaw'

Inosuke cut through Muzan's arm before it could reach Tanjior, allowing Hiroto to run forward and cut Muzan's arm off in one fell sweep.

'Gramps, please. Gramps. Kick my damn back for me!!' Zenitsu cried out in his mind, as his eyes turned white, and flashed forward.

'Breath of Thunder, Thunderclap flash'

*SHIK*

Zenitsu passed by Muzan, cutting him across his back as he rolled through the air.

'Breath of the Beast, Mad Cleave'

'Breath of the Sun, Waltz'

Both Tanjiro and Inosuke pushed forward to Muzan, cutting off his arm in the process. Muzan then swung his arm into Inosuke, sending him through the air and into a wall.

'Breath of the Sun, Fake Rainbow'

Hiroto pushed Muzan, as his arm swiped through Hiroto's after image, as he appeared above him, slicing down and through Muzan's leg, causing him to stumble sideways.

'Breath of the Sun, Beneficent Radiance'

Tanjiro spiraled into the air, cleaving downward towards Muzan, who regrew his leg back and swiped both of his arms towards Tanjiro, who in turn cut through them.

'Breath of the Sun, Dance' Hiroto swung his sword down in a single high-powered slash down into Muzan's neck, who dodged, causing it to embed itself into Muzan's shoulder and going down to his chest as Hiroto kicked himself free, with blood gushing out of Muzan's chest.

'Breath of the Sun, Sunflower Thrust'

Tanjiro pushed from Hiroto's side, thrusting his sword forward with the point of his blade into the mouth in Muzan's chest, pinning him against the wall.

*BOOM*

'I can't use any more techniques! I'll just pin him here for as long as I can!' Tanjiro told himself, not allowing Muzan to free himself of Tanjiro's sword.

Muzan swung his spikes and arm towards Tanjiro's right side but was then stopped as he felt something tug onto his arm.

To the side was Mitsuri, grabbing hold of Muzan's arm and spikes, as tears flowed down her face. "Cut if our already!! You moron!!" Mitsuri cried out, ripping Muzan's arm out of his body.

Muzan swung his arm in retaliation towards Mitsuri.

'Breath of the Sun, Burning Bones, Summer Sun'

Hiroto rushed towards Mitsuri and swung his sword in a circular arc, cutting off the spikes and arm that was about to kill her.

*SHIK*

Hiroto was hit from the back, as one of Muzan's spike cut through his back, tearing the back of his uniform.

"Brother!/Hiroto!" Both Tanjiro and Mitsuri cried out, as they saw Muzan raise his remaining left arm and stabbed it towards Hiroto's head.

*SWISH*

Sanemi appeared from the side, cutting off Muzan's hand before it reached Hiroto, then piercing it through, pinning it into the wall as he held him down.

Suddenly, Muzan's face had a large crack down the middle of it, as a large and gigantic mouth encompassed his entire face and neck, opening it wide to bite down into Tanjiro's head.

Tanjiro looked on as it came down towards him, refusing to move.

*SPURT*

Obanai jumped in front of the head, causing Muzan to bite down onto Obanai's body and head instead of Tanjiro's.

Hiroto jumped forward, bringing his sword down into Muzan's neck, stabbing it through his hearts and brains that were in his chest, holding him down.

"Aghhh!!" Muzan cried out, as a hot searing pain ran through the inside of his body, as he struggled to free himself. Hiroto's blood that was on his sword entered Muzan's body, burning Muzan's insides slowly.

Hiroto let go of his left hand on the sword and dug his hand into Muzan's eyes, blinding him.

"Graghhhh!!" Muzan screamed out, as he was being held down by Tanjiro, Sanemi, Obanai, and Hiroto.

"I...It's the dawn!!" Sanemi yelled out. "Just keep holding out, everyone!!"

Hiroto looked to the side, as he saw the sun slowly reach over the mountains. Seeing this, Muzan eyes widened as fear gripped his entire being.

"GRAHHH!!"

*BOOM*

Muzan released another close shockwave, knocking Obanai and Sanemi away.

*shik*

Tanjiro's left arm was ripped off, he still held on with his one remaining arm. Hiroto's arm that was used to blind Muzan was crushed and severed apart, being so close to Muzan, with his left leg also being severed.

Hiroto and Tanjiro gripped their teeth and held on, not allowing Muzan to pull back despite losing their limbs and under great pain, with Hiroto balancing himself on his last leg.

"Graahhh!!" Muzan cried out, as Hiroto dove his sword further down into Muzan's body.

'Hold on! No matter how long you have to, hold on!' Hiroto screamed to himself in his mind, as Muzan tried to push against the two and free himself.

From behind, Giyu appeared and used his remaining left arm to grasp onto Tanjiro's sword, causing it to also turn to a Crimson Red.

"Agghhhh!!!" Muzan cried out, spewing blood. As the sun came up, Muzan's face began to be burnt, as he screamed out in pain, covering his face with his severed arm.

Suddenly, Muzan's body grew in size, as he swelled up and took on the appearance of a giant-sized flesh baby.

Hiroto gritted his teeth and drove his sword further down into Muzan's growing flesh.

'Breath of the Sun, Dance'

"Arrggh!!!" Hiroto yelled out, as he forced his sword to cut through Muzan's fleshy body, severing off it's lower half. Using this chance, Hiroto pushed himself to the side, knocking Tanjiro and Giyu away before they were pulled into Muzan as he was pulled into Muzan's flesh.

"Brother!!/Hiroto!!" Tanjiro and Giyu cried out, seeing Hiroto being pulled into Muzan.

With his legs severed off, Muzan began crawling on the ground, digging his claws into the ground to drag himself away.

"Stop him!!" Tanjiro cried out with sweat covering his body, as he jumped forward to cut off Muzan's limbs.

'Breath of the Fire God, Flame Dance'

Tanjiro performed a vertical slash down onto Muzan's left arm, severing it apart before running towards his right arm and cutting that off, leaving Muzan limbless.

"Grahhh!!" Muzan cried out, as he was unable to move, with Tanjiro using his remaining arm to ensure Muzan didn't regenerate his limbs back.

"Stop him! Finish him off!!" Kiriya shouted to the other Demon Slayers through the crows.

"Dreeeaaaghhh!!" Various Demon Slayers jumped forward onto Muzan's back, stabbing their swords down repeatedly.

Muzan then started to push himself down into the ground.

"Stop him!" Giyu shouted out, as Tanjiro rushed forward, stabbing his sword into Muzan's head.

'Breath of Wind, Fifth Form: Winter Gale'

Sanemi rushed forward, striking his sword from above as the other Demon Slayer jumped off of Muzan's back, cutting deep into him with a multitude of arced slashes.

*shing*

A Crimson Red blade then pierced out of Muzan's back, as it slid down his spine, cutting it open to reveal Hiroto with his limbs back, but his face was different, as one of his eyes were dilated, similar to that of a Demon's.

"Brother!" Tanjiro yelled out in relief.

Hiroto jumped out of the chest and onto the back of Muzan's head, stabbing his sword down and sliding his sword down Muzan's head. Cutting into the back of his head, Muzan reeled his head back from the burning pain.

*ching*

A large red chain then wrapped around Muzan's neck, pulling on it as Gyomei and other Demon Slayers tried to cause him to fall backward.

"Cut it out already!!" Mitsuri cried out, as she ran forward and shoulder charged into Muzan's body, knocking him onto his back.

Hiroto gritted his teeth, as he felt a burning sensation run through his body. Jumping forward, Hiroto stood on Muzan's forehead and stabbed his sword down.

"Gaaaa!!" Muzan's cry ran out around the city, as he struggled to roll over.

Uzui then jumped down from the side onto Muzan's body, taking out a handful of pellets that his wives had given him. With his remaining arm, he flung the pellets inside of the mouths, then jumped away as Sanemi tackled Hiroto to the side away from the explosion.

*BOOM*

A portion of Muzan's head blew up, sending chunks of flesh into the sky which instantly evaporated.

Muzan's body started to burn, as chunks of his evaporated and slowly started to disintegrate, crumbling onto the ground.
