Akaza fled to Nitocris, preparing to send her flying once more. Rengoku, at full speed, tried to stop Akazu, but he was too far away. Akaza came closer and closer at a speed that the human eye could not follow. As he approached, Nitocris leveled off and said just one word.
- Come. (N)
Inosuke thought that his sister would come to an end, so he ran to the demon along with Kyojiro. And so, when Akaza ran up close to Nitocriis and attacked, Nitocris left the trajectory of the blow in a millisecond, and Akaza was behind her, not understanding how she dodged. Akaza tried to attack again and again, but the girl dodged all of his attacks. Akaza accelerated,
and Inosuke, Kyojiro and Tanjiro looked at it and did not understand how she dodges all these attacks.
Akaza walked away from Nitocris for a couple of meters, but she herself began to attack him. She stuck her staff with the blade into the ground, after which she used a new technique.
- Sand breathing, ninth path Desert Grande Espada (N)
From the ground in place where the akaza stood, a sand blade appeared, which cut him in half. Akaza did not have time to fully react to the attack, but he quickly moved his body away from Nitocris and quickly regenerated. Nitocris knew how to quickly defeat Akaza, but she didn't have the energy left to do so. Akaza decided to attack again from afar, but Nitocris repulsed all of his ranged attacks, after which Akaza shouted
- Hahahahahaha, you have potential. Don't worry, you will die quickly! (A)
Akaza figured out how best to attack Nitocris after noticing her fatigue. He ran through. he began to attack, but Nitocrs again began to evade his attacks. it would seem that Nitocris will win,
but she only had 0.3% of energy left. she couldn't even attack again. Akaza knew this and continued to attack her, even though he knew that this was a strong opponent that he would be able to fight in the future.
Nitocris's body ached as she went beyond her limit. She had run out of stamina and was ready to fall. Akaza was already ready to finish off his opponent, but suddenly, a flaming sword stopped his attack. Rengoku picked up Nitocris and quickly moved away from Akaza.
- If you want to kill her, finish me first (R)
At this time, the sun began to rise. Akaza watched the sun rise soon and decided he couldn't win. Akaza left the battlefield. Even though he could defeat Rengoku, he would be burned in the sun.
3.5 Months later
Nitocris POV
I woke up in a strange room. There was a wooden ceiling so familiar to me. I immediately stood up and looked around. Next to me were two more beds, between which were bedside tables. Of all the places I know, there was only one. Butterfly mansion. So many good things about this place. I tried to catch my breath after all, according to the words of the system that I heard during sleep, about 3.5 months have passed, and maybe more. I wondered why I slept for so long, but soon the system told me that it was due to overwork during the battle with Akaza. It would seem that I would sleep for a day and everything would be fine, but I slept for more than 3 months. I asked the system what was the reason and she answered me
[With normal overwork, you would sleep 2-3 days, but you slept not only because of him. The second reason for your long sleep was that you went over your limit twice. the third reason was that your body went through evolution to increase strength, durability and regeneration by 25,
because these stats were sorely lacking during the battle with the third Upper Moon]
I accepted the system's response. I waited a bit because my body was still very weak. During my fight, I realized something else: the earth pillar uses a mace, I use a spear, the snake pillar uses a curved sword, and the love pillar uses urumi (whip sword). While I sat and did nothing, this fact seemed strange to me. If it's possible to use different weapons like morning star, urumi or spears why can't I use breathing in hand to hand combat. I thought about it after I remembered that I have a melee skill. Maybe I can't cut off the demon's head but if I;ll combine my staff with my body, I can deal damage to them on touch. Can it be done?
[Yes, you can, but you'll feel incredible pain all over your body. You can use empowered magic and deal lethal damage to demons. This would be a great solution, because for your skill "Royal Road of the Hot Sands (A Rank)" you will be able to defeat opponents that are superior in strength with your bare hands. This skill gives you melee prowess that not only demon slayers and demons, but creatures in many other worlds can't match. To be honest, you could easily defeat Jonathan Joestar, Hanma Baki, Tokita Ohma and Vinsmoke Sanji if you have the same stats. If you want to start merging posah with your body, eat it]
... What?
[Eat i..]
YES I HEARD, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME
[I want you to eat your magical staff]
Seriously?
[Yes]
Damn... Is it possible to do this with a mantle for a couple?
[Yes, you can eat any item belonging to Nitocris from the Fate universe and you will merge your body with it, however the process will be VERY painful]
Ok. I'm ready. I think I can go for it. I picked up the robe and began to slowly stuff it into my mouth. The further she went the more disgusting it felt. Finally, 2 minutes later I completely swallowed Madjed's cape. I decided to immediately absorb my weapon as well, so that the pain that the system was talking about would pass faster. I took my magic wand, looked at it, and then decided to swallow it.
3rd POV
A man was walking along the butterfly estate. He had recently heard good news, so the eternal smile on his face was even bigger. This man had long yellow hair with red ends. He was wearing a demon slayer uniform over which he wore a cloak. That person was Kyojiro Rengoku. Recently, he received a letter from the Butterfly Manor, saying that the person who saved him would soon wake up from a sleep that lasted 3 and a half months.
Rengoku was happy and wanted to thank the girl who saved him from death as soon as possible, so he arrived as soon as he could. Arriving at the Butterfly Manor, he asked where that girl was lying, after which, having learned where to go, he went to her room.
Approaching the door to the girl's room, Rengoku thought about what to say, after which he knocked on the door and entered.
Entering the room, he saw a strange picture. The girl he so wanted to see sat on the bed and tried to swallow her spear. Rengoku stood for a couple of seconds and looked at the girl. He was surprised and could not say anything. The girl looked at him too. They stood like that for a couple of seconds, after which the girl swallowed her weapon.
- So... Uh... What did you need? (N)
The girl asked while trying to fake a smile. Rengoku thought for a bit, after which, deciding that he would ask, he also started talking about it.
- My name is Kyojiro Rengoku, I am fire hashira and I thank you for saving me from death. I entered that battle without even thinking that I could win, but with your help, we were able to drive off Akaza. (R)
- Well.. Thanks, I guess. (N)
- Even though I came here to thank you, I have a couple more questions. (R)
