101. End Battle 7

Death was a vague notion to him. He has lived for three centuries, only once had he come close to death. However time had erased his impression of it.

But now, against a race he abandoned, against this race he saw as weak, he felt it again. Unwillingness and rage boiled up inside him.

Rooaaarrrr!!!

Sanemi was just a breath away from claiming Upper Moon One's life when the latter roared, a blade shot out of his shoulder and blocked his strike.

Before he could get another strike in blades emerged out of Upper Moon One's entire body. They were densely packed and had eyes over it's body. They shot out like bullets.

Rengoku and the others were startled, they stopped their attack and hastily dodged. However one person refused to budge.

Sanemi's eyes were wide open, veins popped all over his arms as he put all his strength into his sword.

"Die!"

Under extreme rage he exerted everything he had, just to reach his enemies neck.

Suddenly his sword started to change.

A red hue was emerging from the root of his blade. It spread out like a wild flame. In a split second his sword became blazing red.

Sparks flew as his red blade pushed forward. It sliced through Upper Moon One's blade like a hot knife through butter.

Upper Moon One was shocked. He swung his sword at Sanemi.

Sanemi didn't bother with what happened to his sword. He borrowed the forced from his strike and twisted in mid air.

Upper Moon One missed. Sanemi kicked his back. The strength he put behind that strike made Upper Moon One cough out blood.

Sanemi had a couple of sword blades piercing his shoulder and his wrist. He simply pulled them out and dashed towards Upper Moon One.

This man is crazy!

Upper Moon One found it hard to keep up. Sanemi was like a raging wild bull, his attacks were deadly and he cared not for his body and his life.

During their clash Upper Moon One lost his footing for a split second.

Sanemi grabbed his arm and threw him over his shoulder and kicked his gut.

Upper Moon One was thrown off the ground.

Shit!

He realised something was above him. His eyes caught sight of an iron ball whistling towards him.

Before he could react chains bound his arms. Gyomei holding it's end pulled down forcefully.

Upper Moon One crashed into the ground. The iron ball followed and fell on him squarely. The ground caved in.

Tokito appeared like a ghost and struck. He sliced away Upper Moon One's arms, before he could continue sword blades emerged out of Upper Moon One's body and blocked him.

"Don't let up!"

Sanemi yelled and jumped in. This was their chance.

Rengoku flashed forward with his strongest strike.

Flame Breathing... Rengoku!

His speed spiked in an instant. Rengoku's sword dug into Upper Moon One's waist and bisected him in half.

Sanemi rushed forward. Wind twisted around his sword as he jabbed towards Upper Moon One's heart.

His sword pierced through and nailed Upper Moon One on a huge pillar.

Gyomei wound his chains around him and bound him to the pillar.

Tokito stepped out of the mist. His face was devoid of any emotions as he struck. His sword effortlessly sliced through Upper Moon One's neck.

I... lost?

Upper Moon One couldn't believe what happened. The battle changed before he could react. His opponents weren't weak like he had imagined, instead they were human skinned demons.

His head slid off his neck and scattered to ashes.

Gyomei let out a breath. He looked at Sanemi and asked, "Alright?"

Sanemi stretched his wounded arms for a second and nodded. After they awakened as True Breath Users their bodies healing ability spiked.

Though not as ridiculous as a demons, it was still amazing.

Gyomei pulled out a piece of paper and placed it on his forehead, "Yushiro?"

A young boy's voice rung out in response, "I have controlled Upper Moon Four."

Somewhere within the Infinity Fortress...

Yushiro was standing beside a woman with a single eye on her face. His eyes were closed and his arms were firmly gripping her head.

Genya was standing next to him. His eyes kept darting around, in case some other demons make a sneak attack.

"I have found Muzan!"

Though his mystic Demon Arts Yushiro's voice rung through everyone's mind.

"Get ready. I can only do this for so long!"

Shinobu heard him through the piece of paper she had and asked, "What about Leo?"

Yushiro immediately replied, "He is in a separate space. The Infinity Fortress is a complex ability, it has it's own rules. Leo was placed inside a separate space and locked with a demon."

"He can only exit after he kills that demon. Now, get ready! I will eject you all from here, Muzan is on the verge of escaping Lady Tamayo's poison. As soon as you are out, attack!"

"Genya!"

Genya drew out his sword and got ready. As soon as everyone was out he would kill Upper Moon Four.

Yushiro forced his will on Upper Moon Four after he said his piece. The Fortress started to tremble.

The cubes around them started to move up.

Everyone felt the space tremble. A split second later they were thrown out into a vacant street.

Gaining their footing they looked ahead and found a flesh cocoon in the distance.

Go!

Without a moment of hesitation everyone attacked.

Stone Breathing...

Flame Breathing...

Wind Breathing...

Water Breathing...

Flower Breathing...

Beast Breathing...

Fire God Dance...

Insect Breathing...

Sound Breathing...

Love Breathing...

Snake Breathing...

Mist Breathing...

Thunder Breathing...

Demon Breathing...

Each of them moved incredibly fast and struck will all their strength.

Breath rolled inside them like a tidal wave as a myriad of manifestations appeared in mid air. All of it only had one target.

Muzan.

The flesh cocoon was beating like a heart. Something extremely evil was on the verge of breaking out.

Boom!

When the first crack formed on the cocoon the slayers attack had already reached it.

The air shook and the earth trembled. Everything around was shattered and blown away. A cloud of dust rose into the sky like a giant mushroom.

However the slayers were waiting. Their eyes were focused and their aura at it's peak.

They were waiting for that evil to emerge.
