However, Gyomei Himejima's Nichirin Blade couldn't withstand even two seconds before shattering.
But this at least slightly hindered Muzan, serving its purpose.
Shimizu instantly appeared before Muzan, wielding his Nichirin Blades, and unleashed a strike.

“Breath of Departure · Seventh Form · Mirror of Departure!”
A clear, dazzling blue circular mirror appeared, then shattered with a roar.
The giant infant instantly fell apart, turning into chunks of flesh and dropping, revealing Muzan's despairing figure.
Five figures simultaneously blocked Muzan's path, while Shimizu held his sword in one hand, looking at Muzan with the light behind him.
In a daze, a wisp of golden dawn rose from the east.
The sun had already risen, and even if Shimizu didn't act, the remaining Pillars would be enough to hold him until he was burned to ashes.
“Serpent Breathing · Fifth Form · Winding Serpent!”
“Stone Breathing · Fifth Form · Stone Wheel and Axe!”
“Sun Breathing · Twelfth Form · Flame Dance!”
… …
All the Pillars simultaneously unleashed their most powerful techniques at this moment.
Shimizu didn't even act, simply remaining vigilant to prevent casualties or other unexpected situations.
Until the last moment, when Muzan tried to break through the encirclement again, Shimizu finally acted.
“Breath of Departure · Sixth Form · Departure Dragon Night Dance.”
Departure Release Chakra surged, accompanied by a bright blue Chi Dragon that pounced on Muzan, and the last bit of flesh remaining in the world turned to ashes in the sunlight that peeked out.
“Clang!”
The Nichirin Blade fell to the ground.
A swordsman suddenly knelt down, staring blankly in the direction where Muzan disappeared, his eyes lost.
“The demons… have they finally all been eliminated?”
“Not necessarily.”
Shimizu shook his head.
All the swordsmen who had just relaxed couldn't help but become tense again.
Even more tense were Tamayo and Yushiro.
“We are no longer demons.”
Tamayo gently took out two syringes from her sleeve.
“Yushiro and I injected the medicine to turn back into humans when the sun was about to rise, otherwise we couldn't be like this now, basking in the warm sunlight again, and Nezuko has also turned back into a human.”
“Yes, yes, Lady Tamayo is right!”
Shimizu shook his head.
“I'm not referring to you. Muzan and the Twelve Demon Moons have been eliminated, and there will indeed be no other demons in the future, but the demons that appeared in the Infinity Castle tonight were still relatively strong demons, so those small demons that Muzan thought were useless in battle may not have died yet.
Although they are weak, they will still pose a threat to ordinary people, and if they continue to eat many people, their strength will continue to increase.”
So that's how it is…
Indeed, Muzan created so many demons, there may be some who slipped through the net.
Shimizu's statement was agreed upon by most of the members.
In fact, Shimizu had some selfish motives for saying this.
Now that Muzan has been eliminated, what should the Demon Slayer Corps do next?
Many people joined the Demon Slayer Corps just to fight demons and avenge them.
Now that Muzan is dead, the number of demons has been greatly reduced, and many swordsmen may withdraw from the Demon Slayer Corps.
Those old officials above also don't want to see the existence of such an organization as the Demon Slayer Corps.
An unofficial violent organization with bases all over Japan, possessing a complete intelligence network and logistics system, and hundreds of people who have mastered breathing techniques and possess extraordinary power.
This organization also has a huge amount of wealth and connections accumulated over hundreds of years, and has an orderly inheritance and blood-making ability.
If it weren't for the need to fight demons, which ruler would allow such a force under their nose!
And Shimizu doesn't want to disband the Demon Slayer Corps so quickly.
At least it has to be disbanded slowly in the next few years, so that he can have room to maneuver.
Shimizu hopes to continue the existence of the Demon Slayer Corps in another way, as a card in his hand.
He hopes to rely on the power inherited from the Ubuyashiki family, plus his own strength, to control Japan within five to eight years, change the Japanese system, and restore the shogunate system.
No one is wrong, one first, one hair, one inside, one content, one in, one look, one look!
According to normal channels, it is impossible for him to control this country in such a short period of time. It would be very fast to enter the cabinet in ten years.
So restoring the shogunate is the most suitable way.
Plotting the throne of the Japanese Emperor is not so easy, but if the shogunate is restored and the Japanese Emperor falls into his hands, there may be room for operation in the future.
Shimizu is not worried about failure either.
In this era when nuclear weapons have not yet appeared, he, who possesses great power and has a demonized body, is invincible.
These plans certainly cannot be said now, and Shimizu only has a general plan in his mind.
Just when all the swordsmen were feeling happy and cheering for the victory, Gyomei Himejima suddenly clutched his chest in pain, knelt on the ground, and the aura on his body quickly weakened.
“Mr. Himejima!”
Tanjiro, who was closest to Himejima, hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
Shimizu frowned, stepped forward, first used Palm Healing to restore some blood, and then reached out and bit his finger, quickly using his own blood as a material to draw sealing spells on Gyomei Himejima's arms.
The latter's mark is located on his arms, presenting a gray-black texture like rock.
After drawing the spells all over his arms, he immediately drew a circle around him with spells.
All the swordsmen looked at Shimizu and Gyomei Himejima with concern.
They didn't know what had happened, why the Stone Pillar, who was so mighty in the battle against Muzan just now, would suddenly become like this.
But they could see that Shimizu was using some method to save Himejima.
Several Pillars silently surrounded this area.
They had all seen some of Shimizu's methods, such as his magical healing ability.
“Sealing · Evil Sealing Method!”
Shimizu formed hand seals with both hands and pressed them on Himejima's mark.
The sealing spells on the ground suddenly crawled towards Himejima's body like reptiles, and finally condensed at Shimizu's palm, forming an extremely complex spell.
Gyomei Himejima let out a muffled groan, then panted and raised his head.
Shimizu nodded secretly in his heart.
This set of sealing methods is indeed effective.
It seems that his guess was correct.
The mark may indeed be a means of using natural energy similar to Sage Art, but it is closer to a degraded version of Sage Art, Orochimaru's cursed seal.
