Chapter 5: Resolving the Brothers' Conflict and Slaughtering the Pillars

# In DIO's lair #

— How beautiful is Mr. Dio. His body, face, and gait ... He is simply incomparable.

The drunkard said with a healed face, but she was still very scary and fat, and a stench came from her mouth, killing all insects within a radius of 10 meters.

— Mr. Dio is truly perfect, — agreed the wino.

— Don't you dare talk about the excellent Mr. Dio, with your filthy and smelly mouth!

A young fair-skinned girl with shoulder-length black hair and blue eyes shouted, being close to the drunks.

— What's up, whore?!

— What did you hear, fat-faced!

— Calm down, — the wino said, — are all these houses captured? Otherwise, we were on a mission and we don't know what happened here, — he pointed to a house that several zombies had entered.

After looking at the drunk for a few more seconds, the girl nevertheless answered the question:

_ Yes, all the nearby houses have been captured, now they belong to Mr. Dio. If things continue at the same speed, soon the whole city will belong to him.

This short conversation came to an end, as both parties left on business, or rather, drunks drink blood, and the girl admires her beloved Mr. Dio.

# Next night, near DIO's base #

In the shadow of the building, not far from the house where DIO was, Kokushibo watched everything that was happening.

"Finding his lair was a breeze, crowds... Vampires, or whatever, people who are turned into other beings by this creature go and come back here. He probably has a similar ability as Mr. Muzan. Hmm, they're somewhere are sent.

# Meanwhile in DIO's lair#

The sun has finally gone below the horizon, plunging the city into night, at a time when robbers, murderers and something more terrible leave their lair.

— Let's go to a wonderful place first, before visiting the slayers.

Standing on the balcony, I watched as all the zombies began to leave the houses, going in search of food, which was ordinary people.

— You five, — I turned to the former pillars, 2 drunks who were already visiting hunters and pointed to the prison warden, _ Lead us, we are going to the burial place of that strong demon slayer.

— Of course, Master Dio, — the warden replied.

"With the help of this hunter, if his rank is no joke, there will be no more problems, perhaps even with that demon that was constantly regenerating.

— And grab a man along the way.

And then they went on a very short walk.

# At the Burial Ground of the Strongest Demon Slayer #

" They arrived at the grave of their brother, but why?" Upper Moon wondered, hiding behind the trees at a considerable distance.

— Here it is, Mr. Dio.

In the middle of an overgrown clearing stood a small stone cross, covered with cracks due to the force of time.

— A forgotten warrior whose glory faded over time. Are you sure this is the right place?

— Of course, Mr. Dio. Mistakes are impossible.

— Well, okay, dig up the grave.

All five zombies started rowing hard on the ground, but two stood out among them, whose speed stood out from the others.

"These Slayers have willpower and principles, instead of serving me and living forever, they chose death, leaving their soulless body, which can only follow simple orders.

A minute later, the tomb was finally excavated, revealing a skeleton with small, remaining pieces of rotten flesh in which carnivorous worms swarmed, and a black sword lay at the side.

" This grave is at least a hundred years old, but it is worth clarifying.

— Has this burial been here for a long time?

— Hmm, I don't know, my great-grandfather saw this grave, probably for several hundred years, Mr. Dio.

Approaching the body, I stuck my fingers into the skull, injecting the vampiric extract, and when I was done, I moved away from the body, which began to move.

" Impossible... — thought Kokushibo, not believing what was happening.

New flesh began to grow on the skeleton, organs began to form, and broken bones healed rapidly. A minute later, instead of that skeleton almost without flesh, there was an old and gray-haired man, moreover, naked.

He slowly stood up and began to look around, and soon turned his attention to us and immediately grabbed his sword.

[P.A. Nichirin blade, I know you vulgars...]

— You understand me?

— ... Yes.

" Unexpectedly, his personality was preserved, apparently, he did not finish something before his death, and this thirst did not allow his consciousness to fade.

— Put it on and bring that woman here. He must have been hungry after all this time, — I said with a smile.

— Of course, Mr. Dio.

The drunk brought a kimono to the old man, while the drunk brought a living girl here.

— P-please, oh.. let m-me go *whimper*."

A recently resurrected Slayer stared at her as two desires clashed within him, to save her or to destroy her.

— Come on, go ahead.

I narrowed my eyes, looking at his uncertainty, which makes him doubt that if he tries to attack us, he will be immediately destroyed.

*crump*

— Uhh, hel-khh.

He bit through the neck of the girl and began to suck blood, dispelling all doubts. And when the little feast was over, he turned to me and knelt down.

— Fine, well, then your first task is to kill that demon.

I pointed to the demon behind the trees, which had been following us all the way and was being too loud.

— Th-.

*whoosh*

Upper Moon's head began to fall from the tall tree, not understanding what had just happened, but turning his eyes for the last time, Kokushibo saw his little brother with tears coming out of his eyes.

— Yoriichi...

After that, his body turned to ashes and disappeared without a trace by the light of the moon.

"Excellent, his speed is just incredible.

— And now, — I pointed to the drunks, — Lead to the slayer's base.

We moved towards the Ubuyashiki estate while this fighter looked at the ashes blowing in the wind, but after a minute it followed us.

# At Ubuyashiki Manor #

The pillars gathered around me, listening to the soothing speech.

— Well, you never found them?

— No, Oyakata-sama, we checked all the nearby places, but there was no trace, except for the dissolved soil nearby. Maybe they were attacked by the Upper Moon and caught by surprise," Gyomei replied with a sad face

— ...

Everyone was silent for a minute, realizing that they would hardly see their associates and friends, the cheerful Rengoku and the noisy Sanemi.

*boom*

The main door that served as the entrance to the estate was demolished with one powerful blow. Behind her were 7 demons, led by a blond man.

— Hoo, great, all set. Deal with everyone except the big guy and that man, and yes, don't drink the blood of the pillars, it's mine!

He pointed to Gyomei and me.

# From Dio's perspective #

"Well, let's see what they can do.

The blind man immediately went towards me intending to make an attack, but I will not let him make it.

— Fir-.

— Za Warudo!

"1,2,3,4,5,6,

I calmly moved towards him in the middle of the battle, turning my head, I saw the strongest fighter split the body of a girl with pink hair, and some guy silently screamed.

"7,8,9,10,11,12,

Approaching him at arm's length, I stopped, waiting for the end of the time stop.

"13,14,15,16,17,18,19. Hmm, the blood of the pillars has developed my time stop well, how much will it increase if I absorb the blood of everyone present?

When the time stop ended, the demon slayer did not understand how I ended up near him, but continued to attack

— st.

— WRYYYY!

*crunch*

I interrupted his speech by piercing his heart, which stopped beating and began to absorb blood as the life in his eyes disappeared. Having finished with him, I went to the main one among them.

— Mitsuri!

— Lady Shinobu!

— Uzu!

While screams of pain and the sounds of flesh tearing were heard behind me, I approached a man with swollen veins on his face.

— Tell me all about demons.

I said as despair flashed across his face.

# 10 minutes have passed #

*crunch*

After finishing the conversation, I went to absorb the blood of the slain pillars.
