Akaza's punching motion suddenly froze in place.
Faintly, he seemed to see a gentle woman wearing a headdress with a snowflake pattern like his Blood Demon Art, and also a man wearing white training clothes…
“The purpose of my power has always been to protect, Koyuki, Keizo-sensei…”
In the next instant, seven crimson blades pierced various parts of his body.
This time, Akaza did not resist.
His mostly restored head did not continue to regenerate.
He simply aimed his palm at his chest under the wary gazes of all the Pillars.
“Destructive Kill: Annihilation Style.”
Powerful force burst from Akaza's palm, instantly annihilating his body, eventually turning into ashes and dissipating.
“Amazing! Tanjirou!”
Kanroji Mitsuri jumped up excitedly.
Shinazugawa Sanemi looked at Tanjirou with a shocked expression, and beside him, Tomioka Giyuu, who was usually indifferent, also widened his eyes.
“This is the first time I've ever seen someone talk a demon to death, Tanjirou.”
Tokito Muichiro exclaimed.
“Tanjirou, can you talk Muzan and that demon to death too?”
Rengoku Kyoujurou pointed to another battlefield.
On the other side, after paying the price of Uzui Tengen's serious injury, Himejima Kyoumei finally found an opportunity and chopped off Kokushibo's head with an axe.
However, Kokushibo's head quickly grew back, and his body further transformed, sprouting sharp tentacles and bone spurs, with long fangs protruding from his mouth, and a unicorn growing on his forehead.
He had now become a complete monster.
“I… don't know, but I can try.”
Tanjirou scratched his head.
“Who cares about so much? Now there are only two demons left. Muzan is being… suppressed by Master, are we so many Pillars afraid that we can't suppress Upper Moon One? At worst, we'll hold out until dawn and let the sun kill these two guys.”
Shinazugawa Sanemi had the demeanor of a berserker, and rushed over first.
Even though Uzui Tengen was seriously injured and had withdrawn, there were still eight powerful Pillars, and Kokushibo's absolute strength was still some distance away from Muzan's level, so he was destined to be suppressed.
Soon, the hundreds of surviving swordsmen had also sent all the ordinary people from the Entertainment District out and completed the assembly.
With the two great weapons of sunlight flashlights and crimson blades, most of the Demon Slayer Corps members survived.
The Twelve Kizuki had some resistance to these things, but ordinary demons did not.
Weaker demons would turn into ashes and dissipate within seconds of being exposed to sunlight flashlights, and stronger aberrant demons could not last much longer, minimizing the casualties of ordinary swordsmen.
The reason for leaving the swordsmen who knew the Transparent World was because the method they were going to use next would have a great impact on vision.
Five swordsmen closed their eyes, only using the Transparent World to fight Kokushibo.
One by one, sunlight flashlights were turned on, shining on Kokushibo's location, illuminating that area brighter than daylight, so bright that it could even blind the people within it.
The large array formed by hundreds of sunlight flashlights was extremely lethal, whether to humans or demons.
Layers of flesh and blood constantly fell from Kokushibo's body, turning into black smoke and dissipating.
The powerful sunlight intensity made Kokushibo's regeneration speed slower than the rate at which his flesh and blood were melted by the light, and his own strength was greatly weakened.
At this moment, the five swordsmen only needed to hold Kokushibo in place, then no matter how strong Kokushibo was, he was destined to die.
Kokushibo certainly wanted to break through.
But with five Pillar-level swordsmen inside, and three Pillars leading hundreds of elite Demon Slayer Corps members forming a encirclement outside, even if Kokushibo tried his best, he still completely vanished into smoke after a few minutes.
All the members of the Demon Slayer Corps silently turned their eyes to the last battlefield.
Muzan was still being beaten.
After a long period of eruption, Muzan's desperate struggle finally stopped.
However, he still did not give up hope of escaping, and was bitterly entangled with Shimizu.
“No… I won't die! How could I die! I am the closest thing to perfection, you can't kill me, you can't kill me!”
In the face of the fear of death, Muzan seemed somewhat deranged, and the countless bone spurs on his body kept waving.
Especially after the two strongest Upper Moons, Akaza and Kokushibo, died one after another, Muzan, knowing that there would be no subsequent reinforcements, became even more deranged.
However, Shimizu was still as steady as an old dog, steadily and surely, constantly grinding Muzan with his high mobility and high attack, without showing any signs of fatigue.
Muzan's health bar was very long, and his HP regen was very fast. Although Shimizu could not kill him temporarily, he could always nail him in place, unable to escape.
After perfect demonization, his endurance was also very exaggerated.
The entire battlefield situation was under his control.
Soon, hundreds of swordsmen once again arranged themselves in formation.
The five Pillars who had mastered the Transparent World hugged together and rushed towards the center of the battlefield, leaping across the ruins.
Without a doubt, they wanted to replicate the method of dealing with Kokushibo on Muzan.
Shimizu didn't say much.
These Pillars, when fighting Muzan in the original timeline, more or less played a role, but in the end, only two or three survived.
Now that there was himself, who could suppress Muzan, they only needed to restrain him slightly, so that kind of phenomenon would not occur.
When the five arrived, Shimizu reacted in advance and closed his eyes with them.
One by one, the sunlight flashlights were turned on again, and the strong white light, like flames, quickly disintegrated Muzan's body.
“No!”
Muzan couldn't help but hold his head in his hands and let out a wail.
Now, facing the attacks of Shimizu and the Pillars, he didn't even bother to fight back, but mechanically waved his arms around him to defend, while fully proliferating flesh and blood, until he turned into a giant baby more than ten meters high, constantly digging into the ground, trying to hide in a place where the light could not reach.
Moreover, the larger the volume, although the surface area also increased, the ratio of surface area to volume was actually increasing. This form could also indirectly reduce the impact of light exposure on Muzan.
Himejima Kyoumei, seeing this, hurriedly threw out the Nichirin Blade, wanting to use the chain connecting the broad axe and meteor hammer to trap the giant baby's big head.
