Chapter 82: Layered memories
"I'll be right back" tanjiro said
He jumped onto the roof, breaking a bit of it off
He grabbed Daki's obi before she jumped away.
Then he tried to cut her neck.
But Daki used her obi to block it.
Then she backflipped away
"A life that's lost can never return. It's gone forever."
Daki tried to stand up, but her foot was caught in the roof.
"A demon's body...isn't made of human flesh. Why do you steal people's lives? Why do you ruin them? What is it that makes life interesting? What do you think life is? Don't you see? How could you forget? Even you were once human...weren't you? Surely you struggled against pain and suffering. you must have shed tears"
Daki slammed her hand into the roof cutting him off
"Blah blah blah...don't you ever stop your prattling? I don't remember such things. The past is the past.I'm a demon now, that's all that matters! We don't get old. We don't need money to eat. We don't get sick. And we never die! We never lose anything! We never fade. We're eternally young and beautiful. And we're strong! Demons can do anything they want!"
"So you say. But i've heard enough"
…
"Hey, taiyo...do you think tanjiro's all right?"
He wiped his face from water he drank
"Not sure"
"What do you mean you're not sure?! You're the big brother, you're supposed to have all the answers!"
He chuckled
"Well sometimes I don't know-"
BOOM
Dust fell upon them
"MY HEAD WON'T BE TAKEN BY THE LIKES OF YOU"
"That doesn't sound good…"
Chapter 82: Human and demon
Tanjiro's sword got caught in the obi.
Daki tried punching him, but tanjiro backflipped away.
At the moment, it looked like a very colorful octopus with very long limbs was attacking tanjiro.
Tanjiro flipped
And sliced 2 limbs of the octopus like object
"I WON'T LET YOU TOUCH MY NECK AGAIN! YOU GOT LUCKY LAST TIME!"
Tanjiro continued to cut off all of the obi's
He had used the side of his blade to parry them all to one side.
Then he pinned the group of obi's to the roof.
"DO YOU THINK YOU'VE DEFEATED ME?! I'LL BLOW YOU AWAY!"
"I'd like to see you try"
Daki tried to pull back her obi's.
But it didnt rip.
And just as he was about to cut her neck…
He stopped…
KOFF
Tanjiro fell down.
Human beings have 2 limitations
KOFF
WHEEZE
KOFF
WHEEZE
KOFF
GASP
KOFF
When they try to reach their physical limit…
They're wracked with pain and cannot move.
But one can ignore this pain and keep going…
Fueled by anger so strong, their eyes bleed!
To fight on burns a human's life force--
Their second limitation.
Once their life force is gone, death is certain.
Tanjiro is about to pass that limit.
Cross that threshold for even a second…
Even while fighting a demon…
And you will vomit blood for years!
If anger alone could carry you through…
Then demons would have been wiped from earth eons ago!
"You humans are so miserable. No matter how hard you try, this is all you've got! How unfortunate!"
...
"Taiyo we gotta help!"
"No, you're too injured and I can barely walk!!
Kuki tried to pull himself up.
"I know tanjiro would kill us for this but i think we need to bring nezuko out" taiyo muttered
Kuki spotted her box.
"Okay...i can walk there…"
No he couldn't.
"NEZUKO!" he called as he limped over there.
"NEZUKO! YOUR BROTHER'S IN TROUBLE! HE NEEDS YOUR HELP!"
BAM
Nezuko had kicked down the box door.
She grabbed taiyo and kuki and threw them onto the roof.
Then she jumped herself.
"Thanks nezuko…" kuki and taiyo said
"BECAUSE NOW I'M GONNA CUT YOUR HEAD OFF--"
Nezuko kicked Daki's head off like a soccer ball.
Then she stood in front of tanjiro.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THAT! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?! WAIT...YOU...IT'S YOU! YOU'RE THE ONE HIS LORDSHIP WAS TALKING ABOUT" daki screeched
Chapter 84: Transformation
"Yes my lord. I'LL KILL HER SLOWLY AND THEN LAY THE PROOF AT YOUR FEET!" Daki yelled
Taiyo and kuki limped towards tanjiro.
More like crawled-
THOOM
Nezuko ran up to Daki, but Daki was fast enough to summon an obi and cut her foot off.
Blood splattered
Then Daki cut off her right arm.
Then
KRASH
Daki had cut nezuko in half, and threw her over into a nearby building.
Or so it seemed.
Daki jumped down and walked to where nezuko had crashed
"You're weak. You never feed on humans. How did you escape his lordship's control?"
Nezuko tried crawling out of the rubble.
"You poor wretch. Your body is coming apart like falling tears. A half developed demon like you...won't quickly regenerate those wounds. But since you are a demon, I won't toy with you any longer. I'll wrap you up inside my obi...and in the morning I'll expose you to the sun and kill you. Demons fighting demons...is such a waste."
Nezuko finally crawled out of the rubble.
Her limbs regenerated.
She held up her severed right arm, and regenerated it.
Then her bamboo muzzle fell off, revealing her fangs.
She grew taller, and looked *ahem* older.
She had somehow grown a horn on her head, and tattoos that looked like vines appeared on her arms and legs.
It was as if…
Her aura changed as well.
She ran towards Daki, readying a kick.
Her hand and leg got cut off.
"I'LL TAKE YOUR HEAD!" daki yelled
Nezuko immediately regenerated a new leg, and kicked Daki to the ground with an immense force, it broke the ground itself.
"GYAAAH!" she screamed.
Nezuko attacked her with a menacing smile on her face.
…
"We should go help!" kuki yelled
"What is with you and helping?!" taiyo yelled
"Nezuko doesn't seem like herself! I mean, she literally just hit puberty in front of us!"
"Plus, she looks like an adult eri with tattoos and black hair…" taiyo added
"Whos eri?" kuki asked
"Nobody"
Kuki poked tanjiro.
"Um...dude...it's a great time to wake up...your sister looks strange…"
His eyes shot open
Chapter 85: What is important
"LET ME UP YOU BRAT!" Daki yelled
She used her obi to cut off nezuko's head, and all of her limbs.
Nezuko's blood dripped on daki.
And it set her aflame.
Literally.
"GYAAAAH!" daki screeched
Nezuko's head and limbs regenerated in a flash.
Then she slammed her foot on Daki's head.
She continued to stomp on it repeatedly until she kicked her into the house.
It was with such force, she broke the walls of many buildings.
It was over.
Then Nezuko noticed a bleeding woman next to her.
She ran over to her
"GRAAAH!"
She was about to eat that woman alive.
Then…
"DON'T DO IT NEZUKO!" Tanjiro cried.
He put his blade to her mouth to restrain her (with the blade cover on, obviously)
"FIGHT THE HUNGER! FIGHT IT! BE STRONG! YOU CAN DO IT NEZUKO!"
Nezuko tried to get the blade out of her mouth by throwing tanjiro.
But he stayed put.
"FORGIVE ME! I CAN TELL HOW MUCH YOU'VE BEEN HURT! I'M SO SORRY! BUT I'M HERE NOW! YOUR BIG BROTHER IS HERE TO PROTECT YOU! YOU'RE SAFE! CALM DOWN NEZUKO! GO TO SLEEP AND HEAL!"
Kuki and taiyo rushed to the inside of a building as nezuko grabbed tanjiro and threw him to the ceiling of a building.
"NEZUKO! PLEASE SLEEP!" tanjiro cried
Taiyo and kuki pushed the people back as Nezuko and tanjiro "battled" it out
KRASH
"Not again…" taiyo muttered
"I can't believe you were able to do that. Crazy! And you can even use blood demon art! A strange blood demon art like that only burns demons. Even for me, it'll take a while to heal all this. It's really irritating!" Daki screeched
Tanjiro looked around frantically.
"Tanjiro, take care of nezuko! We'll protect the bystanders-"
Then uzui appeared out of nowhere
"Wow! Is this really nezuko kamado? Her demonization is really advancing! Very flashy!"
"What-"
"You talked big in front of the master, but how is she really doing?"
"I don't understan-"
"He's here himself! That saves me some effort!" Daki said
"Shut up, I'm not talking to you. Beat it. You aren't the one i'm looking for, right? You're too weak. You can't be an upper rank demon."
Daki's head fell off.
"What the-?"
Chapter 86: weeping
"How did you cut off her head so fast?!" kuki yelled
"...i just cut it off fast-" uzui said
Then he turned to tanjiro.
"Hey! This fight isn't over. Do something about your sister."
Nezuko started to thrash around again
"Nezuko!" tanjiro yelled
"I don't need a snarling little brat to worry about while I'm in battle. Sing her a quaint country lullaby or some other boring thing." Uzui said
Then nezuko threw the both of them out the window.
Kuki and taiyo wan to the window
"AREN'T YOU GONNA DO ANYTHING?!" kuki yelled
"He's fine...plus i'm busy" uzui said
"DOING WHAT?!"
"Hush,hush...baby rabbit...on the hillside...why are your ears so long…?"
"Who the heck is that?!"
"That's tanjiro…"
They stared at him
"He's tone deaf" the three of them said
"When i was small...mother ate the leaves of a tall tree, and that's why...my ears are long"
Nezuko stopped.
Then she started to cry.
She turned back to her normal small self.
And fell asleep.
"She fell asleep" taiyo said
The brothers sighed in relief.
"Come on" uzui said
"HOLD ON A MINUTE! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CUT OFF MY HEAD!! YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!"
"Are you still whining? You bore me, so just die already."
"GET OVER YOURSELF! ALSO WHY'D YOU SAY I'M NOT AN UPPER RANKER?"
"Because you're not an upper rank demon…"
"Yes I am! I'm upper rank 6!"
"Yeah? Then why is your head cut off? You're clearly not strong enough. Has your brain dripped out too?"
"I'VE NEVER LOST IN BATTLE! NOT ONCE! I EARNED MY UPPER RANK!"
"Clearly you lost…"
"I'M UPPER RANK 6! I'M REALLY STRONG! BUT I'M GONNA KEEP GETTING STRONGER"
"Not very convincing…"
Then daki started to cry.
"IT'S TRUE! I REALLY AM AN UPPER RANK 6! I HAVE A NUMBER ON MY EYE AND EVERYTHING! BECAUSE I'M SO AMAZING!"
Seriously?
She's crying like a baby.
Uzui cut off her head, but her body won't crumble.
How long is she gonna keep babbling…
"DIE! DIE! EVERYBODY DIE! WAAAAAH! WAAAAAH! HE CUT OFF MY HEAD! GYUTARO, SAVE ME!"
"Gyutaro?" taiyo asked.
Then a demon came out of her obi.
"Huh...that's not something you see every day…"
Uzui tried to cut the demon's head off, but it ran over to Daki before uzui could cut off it's head.
"Crying won't help. You've gone and lost your head. You should pin it to your shoulders."
Ah shi* it's another enmu situation…
"Oh no...your face is burned. And you were so cute. When you have an asset like that, you have to protect it…"
Uzui rushed to cut the head off of both demons.
But his head got slashed.
It was thin anyways, so he's not gonna die…
"Wow...you're pretty good. You blocked my attack...and I was really trying to kill you. You're good. Yeah...definitely good."
Chapter 87: Gyutaro
"Well look at you! You have such a nice face. Your skin is good too. No stains or marks or scars. With such broad shoulders. Just don't let yourself get too flabby. And you're so tall. How big are you…? Over six feet! I bet women fawn all over you. I must admit that I'm jealous...truly jealous. Just die already. And I hope you go painfully. Maybe flayed alive with your stomach sliced open…"
"Gyutaro! It's not just him! You gotta kill the one who burned me too! I fought as hard as I could! I really tried all on my own! But they came along and messed it all up! They ganged up on me!" Daki cried
"Yeah...oh no...we can't have that. My adorable little sister, trying as hard as she could...left with no head on her shoulders. i'll kill everyone who messed with her...i'm gonna collect what's due. We'll pay you back for what you did to us! And as you lay dying, don't forget...that it was gyutaro who sent you into the afterlife!"
Kuki and taiyo began slowly walking away
"Taiyo...i'm scared-"
"I know little brother…"
Gyutaro threw the two sickles at uzui, and it crashed out the window
...
"What the hell?!" tanjiro yelled
"HEY STUPID! GRAAH! I MADE IT! I'M HERE! YOU CAN COUNT ON ME!"
"WE MADE IT!" shizen corrected
"Guys! Wait...is zenitsu asleep?! Whatever...go in and help uzui! Hurry!" tanjiro yelled
"Leave this to me and rest easy! Grah! I'm gonna go wind! Me! Lord Inosuke, and his underlings! We're gonna get reeeeeal flashy!"
"WE'RE NOT YOUR UNDERLINGS!" netsu yelled
"Pardon me for a minute...but I've gotta put nezuko back in her box! You guys get in there!" tanjiro yelled
"You're pardoned!" inosuke yelled
"Uh...thanks!"
...
"I'm jealous. You really are...a good man...yes. You look so cool...and you protect people. You save them. They owe their lives to you. I bet they smother you in gratitude" gyutaro said
"Of course! I'm a flashy, brilliant, sexy guy! I've even got three wives!"
Gyutaro stared at him.
"You have three wives?! Okay, that's too much! Even i can't forgive that!"
Then a side "tornado" of black attacked uzui.
UNKNOWN DISCOVERY
Taiyo had hit the "tornado" to the side like a baseball.
"RUN! HIDE YOURSELVES!" Taiyo yelled to the bystanders.
"Nice try, but you can't get away! Flying blood sickles...turn!"
Uzui pushed the bystanders and Taiyo and Kuki to the side, and blocked the attack.
The bystanders ran away.
Then he threw up 3 cylinders, and cut them.
DOOOM
It exploded.
"Oh well...this isn't going to be easy." uzui said
"Because now we fight as one!" gyutaro said
Chapter 88: Gathering
"You're different...you're different from the other hashira I've killed. I bet you were special since you were born. Blessed with talent. I mean it. I'm jealous. I want you dead as soon as possible."
"...'Talent?' Ha! Do I look like I have talent to you? You've got a pretty rosy outlook on life if that's what you think. Then again, you've been hiding out here for hundreds of years...so I guess you've got a pretty ignorant point of view of the world. This is a big country, and...it's teeming with incredible people. Some are a mystery...and a few have a natural way with the sword...and become a hashira in 2 months. So I'm chosen?! Give me a break! You have no clue how much I've lost over the years!"
"Then how do you explain it?! Why haven't you died yet? My blood sickles are poisonous...but no matter how long i wait, you don't feel any effects! What's going on?"
Uzui chuckled
"I'm from a family of shinobi--ninja. I've built up a resistance to poison."
"They died out in the Edo period! Enough lies!" Daki yelled
"It's no lie. Shinobi still exist. I had 9 siblings. By the time I was 15, 7 of them had died. My father was afraid the clan was doomed...so he forced us all through intense training. The only survivors were me and my younger brother.. My little brother...was just like my father. He was just as cold and heartless. Minions were expendable. And his wife was just for making babies. He had no respect for others. He was stubborn and cold. I could never be like that"
"He had the time to make a whole speech about his backstory…" taiyo muttered
"Respect." kuki said
"HEY! YOU!"
"Hey?"
"Hee hee! Hee hee hee! That poison's working after all, isn't it? It's taking effect very slowly. You almost bluffed me into thinking that it wasn't! Hee hee hee!" gyutaro giggled
"It's not working at all. Shall we dance? I'm in peak condition. I could dance and sing and eat a dozen bowls of tempura right now--with style!"
Uzui rushed at the demons while Kuki and Taiyo just stood there.
"So uh...we're useless…" Kuki said.
"Don't worry, there'll be an opening for us soon! It is our arc anyways"
Uzui ran towards the duo spinning his knifes
SWOOSH
SWOOSH
SWOOSH
Daki and Gyutaro threw attacks
Causing uzui to jump
Uzui countered by flipping and kicking daki
"NOBODY KICKS MY SISTER!" gyutaro yelled
"YOU SCUM!" Daki screeched.
Uzui threw beads
"Those have enough explosives to kill a demon!"
The beads exploded in mid air
Gytuaro dodged em
Uzui pulled out his sword
"Fool that sword is-"
The sword stretched and sliced gyutaro in the face
"GAH"
His head fell off, but gyutaro reconnected it immediately.
"Tsk. i didn't finish off this one" gyutaro said
"GYAAAH! THAT BIG JERK JUST SLICED OFF MY NECK AGAIN! THIS IS SO UNFAIR! WHY DO I ALWAYS GET CUT?! WAAAH! WAHHH!" daki cried
"Oh, so you've noticed?" gyutaro said
"Noticed what?" uzui asked
"Even if you have noticed, it's too late now. Because sooner or later, you're going to die. Bit by bit, we're gradually getting closer to winning."
"ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?!" inosuke yelled
"Nice timing, dude" hoshi said
"Thanks!"
Then inosuke turned to the demons
"YOU HAVEN'T TAKEN ME INTO ACCOUNT! NEVER FORGET--LORD INOSUKE! Oh...and my underlings too."
Gyutaro turned to inosuke
"You're who exactly?" he asked
Then without a moment's hesitation, tanjiro backflipped into the scene.
"Jesus christ, what is with you guys and timing?!" hoshi yelled
Chapter 89: How to defeat them
"No matter how many low rankers you bring, all of your futures are bleak. Everyone dies, so don't bother getting all worked up."
There are two demons?!
Just peachy…
Are they both upper rank 6?
Are they joined somehow?
"We're the demon slayer corps...and we're going to win!" uzui yelled
"You can't win...if the hashira you're counting on is poisoned?!"
"You forget, I'm a hashira as well! You should have killed when you had the chance! I'm gonna bring hell!" netsu yelled
Wait hold up-
P o i s o n e d?
"LISTEN UP ,DEMONETTE! WE'LL WIN AND WE'LL DO IT EASILY! I MAY BE POISONED, BUT I'M STILL MORE THAN YOUR EQUAL! AND DON'T UNDERESTIMATE HUMANS! THESE 9 ARE THE BEST OF ALL MY MINIONS! THEY'LL STAND TRUE TO THE END!"
"YEAH! THAT'S RIGHT!" Inosuke yelled.
"CUT OFF THEIR LIMBS AND THEY'LL FIGHT WITH THEIR TEETH! BESIDES ,I'VE ALREADY FIGURED OUT HOW TO DEFEAT YOU TWO! IT'S CUTTING OFF BOTH YOUR HEADS SIMULTANEOUSLY! I'M RIGHT AREN'T I?! YOU KNOW I AM! OTHERWISE, YOU'D JUST ABSORB YOUR LITTLE SISTER AND CONSOLIDATE YOUR POWERS! BUT THAT'D MAKE YOU VULNERABLE! YOU GUYS ARE SO SIMPLE! HA HA HA!" Uzui laughed
"HA HA HA!! GOT IT!! WE'VE PRACTICALLY WON ALREADY!!" Taiyo screamed
"Many demon slayers have died trying to accomplish that 'easy' task! Including some hashira. I've eaten 15 of you...and my sister 7 more." Gyutaro smiled
"Yeah. Until dawn breaks, none of you are safe...and the long night is always on our side! So why don't you just give it up already!!" Daki screamed before shooting her obi at them.
BAM
BAM
BAM
BAM
Someone had made a hole in the roof, stopping Daki's obi's.
"ZENITSU!" Tanjiro yelled.
"LEAVE THE WORM-WOMAN TO ME AND 3 OF MY UNDERLINGS! YOU GUYS HANDLE THAT MANTIS! LETS GO!"Inosuke yelled
"WATCH YOURSELVES!"
"CAN'T PROMISE THAT!" Hoshi yelled before jumping to the roof.
…
"YOU!" Daki screeched
She jumped down.
"Before you die, I have a Task for you. Apologize to the girl whose ear you nearly tore off. It may be your money that pays for their clothing, food, and household,but...those girls are not your toys. You won't get away with this." Netsu said
"Spare me the boring lecture. And what makes you think an ugly thing like you can talk to me like an equal? In the entertainment district, women are always being bought and sold. Their owners can sell them, buy them, or break them. Those who provide no value don't deserve to be treated like humans. The ugly have no right to eat."
"You were mistreated in the past, but that means you know it's bad to treat others that way."
"...You're wrong. The sufferings of my past were lessons on what to do to others to get my revenge!! If I don't cause misery equal to my own unhappiness, I'll never balance the scales! That's how it is when you're a demon! And we kill anyone who thinks otherwise!"
…
"And in the same way...we'll slit your throats too!" Gyutaro said
Jesus christ-
His aura is just yelling "GRR I'M EVIL MUAHAHAHA!"
But...then again, I am facing an upper moon 6 demon…
Stand firm!
He poisoned Uzui…
So we gotta protect him…
Even though he's kinda a jerk-
I'll swing my sword the moment he moves…
The moment he moves even the tiniest bit.
In a matter of seconds, Gyutaro put his sickle up to Kuki's chin, almost stabbing it
NOW!
STRIKE!
DODGE!
DODGE!
RUN!
DO SOMETHING YOU IDIOT!
Then somebody grabbed his collar, and threw him back.
It was uzui-
"KUKI!" taiyo yelled
He fell.
What am I doing?!
He had to defend me!
I'm holding back!
"KUKI! TAIYO! WE'VE GOTTA HELP HIM!!" tanjiro yelled
Then the obi divided the area, making it hard to go anywhere.
"DAMMIT!" taiyo yelled
…
"AH HA HA HA HA HA! WITH GYUTARO AWAKE NOW, I CAN USE MY FULL STRENGTH! I CAN SEE EVERYTHING! EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE!" A third eye had appeared on Daki's forehead
"Can you just shut up already?! I can't stand your screeching voice" Shizen said.
…
"Heh heh heh...You were lying about their capability as tsuguko. They aren't nearly as good as you said. That won't do. That wont do at all!" Gyutaro laughed
Volume 10, End
Chapter 90: A close fight.
The trio cut up the Obi's that wrapped around the area.
Only for more to come back.
Then the obis cut up the building.
"Crap…"
The debris started to fall
Luckily, nobody got buried under the debris.
"TAIYO!" Kuki yelled as he pointed to uzui, who was about to get slashed again with the poison Sickle.
Taiyo blocked the attack.
Then he used his breathing technique to blow it upwards.
Uzui Pushed taiyo away, and explosions started.
He was trying to kill gyutaro with explosions.
But Gyutaro had dodged all of them.
An obi tried to cut off Uzui's Neck.
Tanjiro cut them off.
…
"AH HA HA HA! DIE! DIE, YOU UGLY BUGS" Daki screeched
"YAAAAAH!" Inosuke yelled
"IT'S NOT JUST THE OBI! THERE'S BLOOD BLADES TOO!" Hoshi yelled
"What the…?!" Kage tried to attack daki, but the obi's kept distracting him
"I CAN'T GET CLOSE TO THE WORM-WOMAN AT ALL!!" inosuke yelled
"ACK-"
Shizen ducked in order to dodge the blood blade.
"Jesus...these things are dangerous! Even a slight nick would kill us!" she yelled
…
Taiyo jumped in order to dodge the blood blades and Obi's
"Can you stop spamming that same-"
It slashed him on the shoulder
"AH! WOW, THAT HURTS, JEEZ-" he yelled
Then a woman started shooting kunais from a roof
What the-
Who's this?!
The trio dodged the kunais.
But Gyutaro made a shield to block them.
Some of the kunai's stabbed uzui as well.
Gyutaro was about to slice his neck off again, but uzui quickly ducked.
CHOK
A kunai landed in gyutaro's neck.
Uzui cut off his feet.
His feet didn't regenerate
Kuki quickly ran over to cut off his neck.
Chapter 91: Grateful
The person who threw the kunai's was uzui's third wife, Hinatsuru.
That poison she used was strong enough that it could paralyze an ordinary demon for half a day.
It was even capable of immobilizing the lower rank demons of the twelve kizuki.
As kuki's blade was nearing gyutaro's neck, his foot regenerated.
"Wow! That's some strong poison!" Gyutaro laughed
He held out his arms, and two cyclones of blood blades started to form.
Taiyo got kuki out of the way.
"WAIT-"
Gyutaro had disappeared
Where'd he go?!
The boys looked up.
"HINA-"
"DONT WORRY ABOUT ME, TENGEN! FIND THE DEMON!" Hinatsuru yelled
A hand covered hinatsuru's mouth.
"You're the one with the poison...so I'm gonna worry about you!" gyutaro scowled
"HINATSURUUU!"
More obi's wrapped around the arena.
"Crap!" kuki yelled
Then a spiral of water had reached up to the roof, cutting off gyutaro's hand.
It was tanjiro.
Hinatsuru fell behind him, wheezing and coughing.
Then gyutaro regenerated his hand.
Running towards tanjiro and hinatsuru.
Tanjiro waved his sword around until uzui had jumped up to the roof and yelled
"KIDS, I OWE YOU ONE!"
Before putting his blade up to gyutaro's neck
Chapter 92: Change of strategy
"GRAAAH, LOOK! OVER THERE! THEY'RE ABOUT TO CUT OFF GYUTARO'S HEAD!" inosuke snorted
"URGH! WE CAN'T DEFEAT DAKI UNLESS WE WORK TOGETHER!" Kage yelled
The 6 of us have dodged her attacks by running around and confusing her…
But just dodging is pointless!
We need to get in close and strike at her head!
"CALM DOWN, INOSUKE! WE DON'T HAVE TO CUT OFF HER HEAD AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME AS THEM! WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE TWO DEMON'S HEADS AREN'T CONNECTED! EVEN AFTER THEY TAKE GYUTARO'S HEAD, WE'LL KEEP ATTACKING" Zenitsu yelled
"You...you...what's gotten into you?! You're kinda awesome!" hoshi yelled
…
Tanjiro waved his sword up to gyutaro's neck.
And it seemed like they were about to cut off his head.
But Gyutaro used both of his sickles to block the blades.
"You guys can't cut my head off! It's impossible!"
Tanjiro's blade was already in gyutaro's neck, but it wouldn't move.
Then uzui tried to cut his head off with his second blade.
It didn't work.
In fact, Gyutaro had bit it.
"HANG IN THERE KAMADO!"
Then Gyutaro jumped up, uzui still trying to cut off his neck.
"WATCH OUT!" hinatsuru pushed tanjiro out of the way.
Then more obi's wrapped around the arena.
SLASH
"KUKI!! TAIYO!!"
"WE NEED A CHANGE OF STRATEGY! WE CAN'T GET CLOSE TO EITHER OF THEM AT ALL! WE NEED YOUR HELP! THE OLD GUY WILL HAVE TO DO HIS BEST AGAINST GYUTARO!" kuki yelled
"SHE'S WEAKER THAN THE SICKLE GUY! LET'S CUT OFF HER NECK THEN HELP! TANJIRO, CAN YOU STILL MOVE?!!" Taiyo yelled
"YEAH, I CAN MOVE! BUT THE ENEMY POISONED UZUI, SO HE'S IN TROUBLE! IF WE DON'T FINISH THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE--"
Tanjiro jumped in order to dodge gyutaro's attack.
"Jeez-"
"DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME, I CAN EASILY HIDE! JUST FIND A WAY TO WIN!" Hinatsuru yelled
Then she dodged an obi.
"AH HA HA! YOU'RE STARTING TO SLOW DOWN! WHICH OF YOU SHALL I CRUSH FIRST?!" Daki screeched
Tanjiro started to run over to daki, Cutting up more obis
"The demon's neck is rubbery, I can't cut it! I have to be...super fast, or we have to cut it from multiple directions" Tanjiro yelled
"I mean...maybe Inosuke and I could do that!! Inosuke has two blades, and if i add my blade, it'll be too confusing for daki, then boom! She's decapitated!" Taiyo said.
"ZENITSU! NETSU! MAKE SURE TO PROTECT TAIYO AND INOSUKE" Tanjiro yelled
"GOT IT!" Netsu yelled
Taiyo grabbed inosuke and started to tell him the plan.
Then the two of them started to run towards daki.
"SPIRITS FROM HELL!" netsu yelled
The 4 of them cut up the obi into shreds, as taiyo and inosuke neared Daki.
Taiyo cut her arms as she tried to block.
"THIS TIME I'LL FINISH IT! SIXTH FANG!"
Then Inosuke cut off her head, using both blades.
Taiyo grabbed her head.
"You guys did it!!" Tanjiro smiled.
"I'VE GOT THE HEAD! I'VE GOT THE HEAD! We gotta get out of here…"
Taiyo started to run, inosuke trailing behind him.
