Ch 54 : The real plot armour

*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*

Trees were obliterated with each strikes from a former Hashira and a former Upper Moon.

Kanae moved at inhumane speed while she also started using all her important poisons.

"Hahaha...could the former Hashira become so dull in years?"

"Hmph! Demons like yourselves really have no honor, you all are just cowards who hide amongst people and betray their trust, you all could only kill the weak...because you know that you all are fucked if you contend against us humans in broad day light!"

Doma gripped his fan tight as his veins became black and his body covered in black veins which wriggled across his body creating a grotesque demon.

He blasted off from his initial position as the vegetation turned into ash behind him, he propelled at unimaginable speed and reached Kanae in a blink of her eye.

But that blink was enough for her, with her eyes closed she murmured,

"Fourth form : Crimson Hanagoromo"

Her sword's visage got enlarged, flowers bloomed behind her as she made a vertical strike to contend against Doma's attack.

*boooom*

Two contrasting energies collided which resulted in both of them being blasted off, a trail of blood could be seen on Kanae's lips when the dust settled.

But Doma just laughed manically, "Hahahaha...! The great Flower Hashira has not perished...I will not kill you easily bitch, I am gonna share you with my cult hahaha...those fucking horny men would not hesitate to push their little peepee even in their own assholes, then imagine what those motherfuckers would do when I will provide them such a beauty?"

"Haha...feeling of raising pigs to be butchered is really interesting."

Suddenly, Doma felt his hair stood up when deadly death rays shot at his body, he quickly turned around and brought his hand to block it, the rays pierced his hands and it began to corrode.

He quickly cut off his arm, and his arm regenerated again quickly.

His rainbow pupils dilated as he saw a lone figure standing with a sword in his hands...his black and white kimono bathed in blood of Kotoha Hashibira.

"Hehe~ Looks like I have to be tad bit serious huh? This little shit is no joke after all..."

Damien had gone to save Kotoha as he placed her inside a cave and provided some first aid to let her be alive for quite some time.

After that, he ran to his top speed to Kanae.

Meanwhile, Kanae looked at Damien horrified as she shouted at him,

"Why did you came back?!! I told you to take away the lady and leave this place!"

Damien walked upto her and winked as he said,

"How could I leave such a beauty alone to fight with this dickhead monster? His head looks like if someone had shitted on his head haha...he must be really into scat huh?"

Doma also walked upto him and laughed as he said,

"I must say that you have quite a tongue there."

"Sorry, I am only interested in women."

"You are quite funny. I like you. I am really desperate to gouge your beautiful red eyes...how tasty would they be? And, I can confidently say that your blood is special, I never had such an urge to kill anyone before."

"Shut your ona-hole, you dickeater! Come at me, silently"

"Yeah, yeah, getting hot-blooded aren't we?"

Doma's eyes began rotating as his hair changed color...his eyes became sharper, fangs grew in his mouth...black veins covered his body.

"Miss Kanae...we need to give our all, only then could we have the slightest chance of victory."

'The key to victory is in how much he underestimates me.'

Kanae now had been cooled off as she thought, 'Well...if he had come then so be it!'

She nodded her head to him.

But just when Damien was gesturing at Kanae, his hair stood at their end...and the first sensation of immediate death gripped gim.

His body froze for a while...literally froze, ice shards had pierced his feet on ground.

*slash!*

A large horizontal slash came to his body...all his muscles started moving like a clockwork mechanism and in contrast to what Doma thought, Damien increased more pressure on ground as his feet buried few inches into ground.

A moment of confusion came to Doma...and that moment was the only thing Damien required, he immediately shouted, "Final form : One with world!"

His muscles contracted as the cells greedily sucked all the oxygen in his body...he even opened his muscles for more oxygen.

His veins bulged as loads of blood flowed in his veins...he was still not suitable for using final form.

His veins started to rupture inside his body.

Blood trickled from his eyes, nose and ears.

Cracks opened on his muscle, his bones creaked in sleazy sounds.

Doma's one moment of hesitation was the only thing Damien required...the cherry on topping was that a melodious thunderous voice resounded,

"Final form : Equinoctial Vermilion Eye"

Kanae's eyes bulged as blood flowed from them, but her vision became in slow mo...she slashed her sword across Doma's neck.

Damien disappeared from the eyes of Doma which shocked him from core, he was not shocked that he disappeared but was shocked because he could not even sense his presence!

He shouts without hesitation, "Crystalline Divine Child"

2 clones with 50% of his powers were formed, he superimposes with his clone and switches the position...Kanae's strike hit his clone which obliterated it completely, which was another unexpected matter for Doma...he never thought that Kanae would kill his clone with 50% of his prowess in single strike!

'I must became seriously serious now.'

Hence, he closes his eyes and murmurs, "Rime-Water Lily Bodhisattva."

A massive bodhisattva of ice formed behind him as it released gusts of cold wind in surrounding.

Kanae quickly retreated sensing the wave of cold winds...those winds were imbued with his demonic energy and numerous small ice shards which could open thousands of humans at a time.

She was now getting in stance to face off with one of his clone which was chasing her, she had become tired very much as using the final form takes a large toll on her body.

At this moment, a point shown in sky directly above real Doma's head who was in middle of his bodhisattva.

A silent voice rang in Damien's mind,

"Third form : Solar condensation"

"Sixth form : Galactic destruction"

The point twinkled and just as it touched the layer of bodhisattva, Doma became vigilant, his pupils shrank when a crack sound was heard.

*crack*

His bodhisattva cracked open in many places and soon it blasted off.

Doma quickly began using all his attacks.

"Frozen Lotus!"

Massive shards of ice flew in all directions.

"Freezing Clouds!"

A chill cold air gust in surroundings.

"Lotus Vines!"

Vines of sharp ice grew from ground as they began whipping in entire region.

At that instant, Doma felt the tip of sword piercing his skill, he immediately started hardening his skull.

At same time, Damien's body began manifesting...his blood veins began freezing, his skin cracked open...his cornea began freezing...the vines, the shards started piercing his body.

His vision became blurred, hands froze at the hilt of sword but his momentum did not stopped, he tried to shout as to generate heat into body.

"Aaaarrrghhhh!!"

In that split second, Doma's feeling of death began increasing...and since he is a apathic individual, the fear of death did not gripped him much, he focused on hardening his skull...but despite all that.

Damien's sword kept piercing his head...slowly but surely, the lingering death started affecting his state of mind.

He had not felt like this in past few centuries...and never felt this threatened apart from Muzan Kibutsuji.

Damien felt his mind become numb as he broke apart skull of Doma.

At same time, the melodious sound came again as a wounded beauty with her body covered in cracks and blood came with her sword slashed at Doma.

Her pupils froze literally and followed the cracking of skull.

"Fifth form : Peonies of futility."

Nine consecutive strikes slashed at Doma's neck.

Damien's sword also pierced all the way in and Doma's neck split apart in two vertically symmetric sections.

After making the strikes both Damien and Kanae fell on ground, Kanae fell on Damien's body as her face buried in his neck and her chest pressed against his chest.

Both of them were covered in blood, their bloody bodies was entangled with each other.

Meanwhile Doma kneeled on ground with blood continuously flowing from his half split head.

Damien hazily opened his eyes to see the grotesque bloodied figure of Doma kneeling on ground.

And to much of his horror, Doma's muscles began wriggling, a ice vine erupted from ground and wrapped around his head, the same vine began stitching his entire head.

Now, there were no facial features of Doma...it was like a cocoon.

Suddenly the icy vines wrapped around his filled began filled with black blood, and surprisingly his skin began shedding off, his bones came into vision....anyone could see that Doma has chosen a self-harming ability.

Doma's voice now became like iron scratching on metal surface.

"So This is what It feels when you become angry...its really quite IRRITATING."

'What should I do? My blood essence is depleting at massive rate...at this rate, I might really die...I must finish them soon and eat them to somehow survive, as for being strong? I guess...only Lord Muzan would be able to help me.'

Damien's grip tightened on Kanae as her body shuddered uncontrollably.

Kanae tried to pull her body desperately, her eyes were bleeding, she wasn't able to see anything but she somehow wanted to save Damien.

She knew that there was no need for him to come back quickly, but he came for her...just how many people would risk their life for others in this rotten world?

Her nails clipped and she tried desperately to find her sword with her charred hand.

'Time...I need time!'

Damien's mind worked at fast rate, he had already seen this type of skill with the demon he killed on his first mission.

'I somehow must pull off the final form...that is the only option.'

His eyes darted to struggling Kanae who was fighting for life with her eyes blind, her body cracked open at many places, numerous cuts everywhere...

With that, the smiles of his wives flashed...the heartfelt goodbye...the promise to return...the kick of his expected children...the melodious laughter...

"FUCK IT!!"

He tightly hugged Kanae's body and shouted, "Final form : One with world!"

*slash*

The ground where he was laying with Kanae split open as massive ice shards shoot at it.

"NOT AGAIN!!!"

"FREEZING CLOUDS!!!"

A cold air gust in surroundings...

Doma's right hand deteriorated into nothingness.

"NO! NO!! FROZEN LOTUS!" "LOTUS VINES"

His left hand turned into nothingness...

His both legs flew into ash...

"ARGhhhhhhhh!!!!"

"FREEZING CLOUDS!!!"

"WHERE ARE YOU BASTARD???!!!!!!"

Now only Doma's wrapped head remained.

And this moment two slashes of sword burst the head into thousands of flesh.

Damien and Kanae materalised behind Doma's figure as both of them crashed on ground on one above another.

The mighty former Upper Moon Rank 2-Doma perished just like that...
