Chapter-94: Human's Reckoning..

———————————————\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

A march, the sound of the earth shaking in fervor, and the deep rumbling sound of drums. Those were the things that made up the scene happening on the coast of the town where Muzan was spotted.

The 400 strong Demon Slayer Corps gathered here today, were all of the members in the Demon Slayer Corps, from the lowest Mizunoto to the highest Hashira. All of them gathered here today for one purpose only; the end of the Demon's reign of fear. 

"Forward! Here goes!" Rengoku happily led in front like a dignified general leading his army to battle. There was a huge smile in his face, his vibrant fire-colored hair flapping behind him like a lion's mane. 

Meanwhile, Ren and Lucien was in the air above the formation, overlooking the landscape they were in. Before enacting this preparation, Ren set up a huge dome-like barrier around the area they were in as not to cause any panic within the town nearby. 

The barrier acted as a ward, both physically and illusory. The barrier teleports anything or anyone wandering towards the barrier back 50 meters from where they came from. Ren copied something like Dio's infamous staircase glitch, except this time, it was a spatial barrier.

"You ready for this?" Ren said as he used in his eyes, peering over the extradimensional space that the Infinity Castle was located in. Muzan's fortress was shaped like a rubix cube, with infinitely shifting hallways and walls. 

But Ren's eyes were not focused on them, what he was focused on was the main thing he needed to accomplish. Inside the very core, very heart of the Infinity Castle, was Muzan and the demon controlling the space, Nakime, sitting side-by-side.

Ren let off a smile as he dismissed . He was not gonna move right now, and the reason he brought the Demon Slayer along was so that Muzan couldn't take any chance to escape. 

"Yeah, as ready as I can be at least." Lucien replied, steeling himself for this attack.  He mused while seeing the Demon Slayer Corps go into position. 

"Well, then, let us start." Ren cracked his neck as he opened all of his abyss-like wings wide. Ren also pointed a finger behind him and Verlangen started flowing out. The Verlangen formed a large circular halo floating right above his wings behind him. 

Now that the preparation was now done, Ren flapped all 12 of his wings in unison, heading straight towards the front of the formation. Once he had done so, he opened a portal in front of his mouth connecting to the Infinity Castle. 

"Muzan! We're here!" Ren shouted into the portal seemingly declaring the start of the war between humans and demons. Muzan looked towards the hole and dread filled his being. 

To give more despair to Muzan, Ren decided to give him a shock. He covered his arms with and then—

—He tore a rift in space, opening the entrance to the Infinity Castle with only his arms. The gate was several meters tall, like a breached wall. Ren grinned as the Demon Slayer Corps poured in and charged forth. 

The walls and doors nearby deformed to solid wooden pillars and headed to crush the intruders. Ren flicked his middle finger towards it as a blade of light cut through it, separating it cleanly in the middle.

Several more attempted to crush the formation but all of them was futile. Wave after wave of light, all incoming obstacles were cut through. Nakime tried to manipulate the area to remove any door leading further inward, yet Ren just pierced through them easily.

"The Upper Rank 4 Demon Hantengu is here!" Shinobu reported to the formation that is continuing to advance. 

"Scared..I'm, so scared!!" Hantengu shouted in fear, tears dripping down his completely red eyes and golden irises.

Hantengu is a short, frail man with a very thin and skeletal body, covered with veins and wrinkles, and is crouching like a hunchback. His most noticeable feature is a large bump on the top of his head, accompanied by two curved horns. His face is thin with a sharp chin, and he constantly wears an expression of terror and fear, with a prominent brow ridge that lacks eyebrows. His eyes are narrow and often appear to be squinting, obscuring his pupils. He has red eyes with golden irises, and the daiji of "Upper Rank" and "Four" engraved into them.

"I'm innocent! I'm innocent! So why are you all trying to kill me?!" The demons voice was shrill and annoying.

'Based from what I know, he wouldn't die if his true form isn't killed, so I just have to behead him quickly and aim for his heart.' Ren thought of the most fastest possible way to kill Hantengu because he was blocking the way. 

A small portal appeared in front of him, the black handle of his katana emerging from it. Ren gripped it and unsheathed it from the portal. The long black blade with violet patterns glowed with a deadly sheen as Ren held it sidewards ahead a few inches away from his face.

He closed his eyes and opened them slowly again, his eyelashes fluttering and his violet gem-like eyes opened wide. His breath stilled as he activated his Transparent World and imagined his technique, one that he has not touched but grew along his other technique, [Absolute Sword-Endless Three Stage], due to it being fundamentally the same.

It's name was —

"—Zekken, Mukyu Issen (Absolute Sword-Endless Flash).." 

Ren uttered the name of this technique and realized it; he flew out like a beam of light heading straight towards the cowardly Hantengu who cowered in fear and started crying like a bitch, trying to crawl away.

But alas, nothing was faster than the speed of light. Ren attacked like a beam cutting through in the shape of a triangle which attacked Hantengu's body and which also severed his head.

The separated head and body began growing out limbs trying to reform to Hantengu's other bodies. Ren cut through them too, interrupting their formation and severing both of their heads.
