Final Battle & Meeting Of The Demon Moons!

(1780 Words!)

But using the momentum gained from the previous techniques, Giyu swung his blade with all his strength and managed to force Anos's hand to swing upwards making Anos eyes widen slightly. Giyu jumped on Anos's shoulder and jumped away avoiding the upcoming attacks.

Giyu: "Now!"

The rest didn't need to be told. They had all already gotten in their most powerful stances. Anos noticed the two father and son whose stance litteraly showed their Aura that even if it was temporary, synchronised with each other and burned with the intensity of a roaring flame.

Shinjuro/Kyojuro: "Esoteric Art Ninth Form: Rengoku!"

The most powerful Flame Breathing technique. The user takes a high stance with their sword before dashing forward at high speeds. The technique is powerful enough to completely carve out the ground in its wake. This technique seemingly took the form of a flaming Japanese dragon that envelopes the user as they are charging towards the target.

Sanemi: "Ninth Form: Idaten Typhoon!"

Sanemi backflips into the air and while upside-down, he unleashes a powerful gust of circular wind that slashes apart anything below.

Gyomei: "Fifth Form: Arcs of Justice!"

Gyomei utilizes a powerful barrage with his flail and axe, doing a great amount of damage. The axe is destined to hit first with the trajectory of the flail following from the opposite side and slamming into the opponent.

Uzui: "Fifth Form: String Performance!"

Uzui holds one of his swords with a reverse grip and spins the other using the chain that connects them. He couples this by also releasing numerous bombs to detonate.

Shinobu: "Dance of the Centipede: Hundred-Legged Zigzag!"

An attack with which Shinobu uses her full speed to run a zigzag pattern that confuses their opponent in order to create an opening for her to directly stab her opponent's neck and inject poison to kill them, with the stab's force and power being further enhanced by the momentum of her speed. All of them appeared before Anos as his smile never faltered. Instead it became even wider.

Anos then did something that shocked all of them. He used Giyu's water breathing Eleventh, improved Forth, & 6th forms, and combined it with Flame breathings forth form.

Everyone: "!!!"

In the end Anos managed to deflect all the attacks aimed towards him. But all the Hashiras knew that even if he did take the attack, they were sure not even his clothes would have a scratch on them. In the end after noticing their attacks failed, they tried retreating. Even after using their strongest techniques they still had quite a bit of energy left to continue the battle.

Anos: "That's enough. This battle has already ended. I also have collected enough information to help you all improve."

Hearing his words everyone tensed up preparing to continue their fight. But Anos vanished from where he stood. That was all the Hashira's were able to realise before they were all knocked unconscious. Anos turned to look at Kagaya Ubuyashiki who stood silent as he saw his strongest warriors defeated even when they all worked together to beat him.

Anos: "Be proud and hold your head high. They are all fine warrior's who are willing to die to accomplish their dream's. Not many are so willing as them to help the weak and die for their dreams of a peaceful world of no demons. Their swordsmanship was beautiful. It seems like I may just be staying in this world for a while longer."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled happy with the praise given to his warriors. Especially by one as strange and powerful as Anos.

Kagaya: "Thank You for the praise. I'm proud to be the leader of such exceptional swordsman and swords woman's."

Anos nodded his head and then snapped his fingers and the destroyed headquarters was instantly repaired as if no fight ever happened. He picked up all the Hashira's who were unconscious stacking them atop each other like a bunch of potato sacks, and brought them to the butterfly mansion. He entered the recovery room and placed each of them on the bed. Anos walked away as he went to explore this new world with one of the crows of the demon slayers that was sitting on his shoulder. He didn't really care much about the animal on his shoulder and leaved it be.

Little did he know that his action of placing the unconscious sweaty Hashira's on the clean beds will cause Shinobu to give him a lecture and complain about putting sweaty people on clean beds.

------------Scene Break! - - - - - - - - - - - - -(Narration)

The infinity castle. Home to the progenitor of all demons, and his 12 most powerful subordinates. Demons with whom Kibutsuji Muzan has shared the most amount of his blood with compared to the many other demons that roam the country.

Separated into two hierarchys consisting of 6 Lower Moon Demons, and 6 Upper Moon Demons. Together, these demons make up the 12 Kizuki, with only the positions of the Upper Moon Demons having never changed once over the hundreds of years that's passed. As compared to the lower moons who's positions have been changed many times throughout the past.

And now, in the halls of this fortress, stood all 12 Demon Moons alongside their leader Kibutsuji Muzan.

Kibutsuji Muzan is a tall and muscular man, with an unnaturally pale skin complexion that can be easily confused as being unhealthy and sickly. He has curly black hair, and sharp, almond-shaped eyes. His irises are cat-like in appearance and colored plum red. He also possesses sharp, blue nails on his hands. He appears to be in his twenties. Muzan was currently wearing a white fedora with a red ribbon and a somewhat extravagant outfit. The outfit consisted of an embroidered black tuxedo and a white tie over a black dress shirt and white dress pants.

{Hee Hee~~~}

The expression on the Demon Pregenitors face was one of pure unadulterated rage as he glared at the Upper Rank 2 Demon Doma who simply wore a smile on his face even knowing that his leader was angry. Muzan then spoke up questioning what the Upper Moon 2 had just said that surprised a few of the Upper Moons, but downright terrified the Lower Moons.

Kibutsuji Muzan: ".... Do you mind repeating what you just said Doma?"

Muzan spoke coldly to his Upper Moon Demon who still had a bright smile when he replied to his leaders question.

Doma: "I fought a Hashira, but she managed to escape from me with the help of her sister whose speed quite possibly rivaled yours Muzan-Sama~"

Everyone turned silent as they heard what Doma said once more. However, they were all brought out of their thoughts as they saw their leader behead the Upper Moon 2 faster than any of them could even react as blood came gushing out of his severed neck. Muzan held Doma by his hair ass he glared at him and spoke.

Muzan: "Are you insinuating that a mere human has reached my level of power Doma?"

Even with his head severed, Doma still held his smile as he replied.

Doma: "Of course not my lord~ I was just informing you of an interesting phenomenon that I encountered."

Muzan: "And you think that telling me this benefits me in anyway? Not only did you fail to kill a Hashira, but you dare come to me with such a useless piece of information?! Did you think that just because you are ranked 2nd among the Upper Moons that you will face no punishments?"

Doma: "But of course my lord~~~ After all, what I experienced with that Hashira might be because of another Demon after all."

Muzan narrowed his eyes as silence permiated the room they all stood in for several seconds before Muzan spoke.

Muzan: "Explain yourself Doma."

Doma: "Hai~"

Doma somehow managed to make himself sound like he's clearing his throat as he spoke

Doma: "After the girl saved her sister and ran away, I felt the blood in my body react to her presence. So the most likely thing that happend was that another Demon had helped her save her sister using their own Blood Demon Art."

Muzan: "That is impossible. I'm aware of all my demon's locations at all times. Yet I am absolutely sure that I did not sense any demons near your location at the time."

Doma: "Hrrm? ~ Then maybe, it was a human who made themselves a demon using an unknown method?"

Muzan: 'Blue Spider Lily? But that's impossible, I've searched for thousands of years yet I've never found it. But if what Doma said is true, then things could become more problematic for me. And considering how this unknown Demon helped a Hashira, they might use that fact to stay hidden as they aren't that powerful especially if they are a brand new demon. However, the fact that this demons blood demon art allowed such a big boost in speed for the girl, they could end up being the reason I will not be able to achieve my dream of perfect immortality.'

Muzan then stared into the eyes of Doma who still held his smile as he spoke.

Muzan: "Very well then Doma, just this once I'll forgive your behaviour. However, I want you to capture this girl and bring her to me. Better yet, if any of you can bring me this unknown Demon, ill grant you enough blood to grow even stronger than you are now."

All The Demon Moons bowed their heads in understanding as Muzan spoke to the decapitated head of Doma.

Muzan: "And one more thing Doma. If you ever fail to kill another Hashira then be prepared to lose your ranking as well as your life."

Doma's smile became even wider as he replied.

Doma: "Hai Muzan-Sama~"

Muzan: "Dismissed."

At Muzans words, the strum of a biwa was heard as all the Demon Moons disappeared as Muzan spoke to himself.

Muzan: "If this new Demon hands over the information on the blue spider lily without any struggle, I might just turn them into one of my own. However, should they refuse to obey me, I'll show them true suffering. Afterall, there is no one in this current era that can do anything to me, and that monster Yoriichi Tsugikuni is already dead. No one will be able to stop me from reaching my dreams of perfect immortality."

When Muzan remembered the face of the monster who had nearly killed him several of hundred years ago his body trembled in fear as the old scars left upon him by Yoriichi throbbed in angony once more making Muzan grit his teeth at the excruciating pain he felt.
