Hey *Pokes you all with a stick* sorry for not posting, anyway here's the content.
-Gyomei sliced him in half while Shinzaguawa tossed a bottle of liquid, which exploded into fire upon dousing Muzan which had been a homemade Molotov that Himo had experimented with. Genya aimed his gun at the Demon Lord and fired a bullet without hesitation against him where upon contact, they exploded into roots that held fast thanks to Kokushibou's DNA still being in his system. She grinned madly and it reflected his face on occasion where he looked absolutely and furiously mad, it was a wonder how she could replicate so many faces with one person. "Tonight you die Kibutsuji!!!"
Himo is far from ordinary not in the way you think, Yoriichi's mother, was quite distantly related to her family after they branched away. So she had "some" of the most powerful demon slayer's blood in her big deal you might say, but she also had a slight bit of Muzan's thanks to her mother being turned into a demon and Ubuyashiki's after Kagaya had looked thoroughly through family lines after she mentioned a few names connecting back to their family. While of course it was very distant and she likely would never be able to find out how much was their bloodline, it was there, and it showed.
Her family, though as useless as she may think it ever was, was one of the most ancient and connected families of them all within Japan. It certainly kept her well within the line of talent when it came to swordsmanship thanks to the many wielders in her family. It also meant she was quite the inheriter of the ability to annoy every single ounce of Muzan. She was directly what he opposed, and in more ways than one, she'd shown up and done the very things he didn't want and set him back by so much that it was probably kinder to just stab him. Strangely enough she found it entertaining to see someone who'd been confident for so long fall face first into failure.
In truth, she knew about his spying from underling demons. And she made sure to reveal her weaker tactics to make him think she had made no progress her entire time being a slayer and had stayed weak during that time. It was a plan from the very beginning for her to eventually massacre him whenever the time was right. She would make herself immortal if it meant eventually she would kill him.
As weak as she had been when her family was killed.
As weak as she had been when she faced off against Final Selection.
As weak as he had thought of her.
As weak as what he expected.
As Muzan's attacks got quicker, Sotte was only able to keep a majority of the attacks at bay, Kanroji should've been able to dodge but she was suddenly cut severely by one attack. "Mitsuri!" She shouted in panic and aimed a line that was used for healing, where upon connecting, began to regenerate her at speeds Muzan could've only matched and demon wished they could achieve. Mitsuri hadn't been fully turned into a demon, but temporarily given enough just to heal her and keep her alive since she hadn't been cut in half like Muichiro, but keeping everyone alive was starting to strain their capabilities, she had to be on constant alert to divert attention to each person.She was furious towards Muzan, for hurting Tanjiro and maybe even killing him, for hurting Mitsuri, for hurting the people who had to hurt others because of his own selfish wants and actions. He was comparable to a spoiled toddler not getting what they wanted. Although a rather dangerous and murderous one...
So she'll just connect to each Pillar and eventually fix them all up and they'll fight forever as long as she's alive...well...I'll kill her first then.
He purposefully took note and aimed more of the forcible attacks at her, where if he killed her, she wouldn't be able to regenerate any of the Pillars and as mortals, as humans, they'd all have to die eventually even if they tried to fight back, after all they were just being underlings to her totally foolproof plan...Right? Think like the king and you'll find yourself anticipating a coup. 'He thinks I'm exactly like him, someone who'll kill his subordinates whenever and drags down the others upon failure. Well. He's certainly going to be wrong!!'
She lashed out, thwaking him from side to side and getting dangerously close to decapitating him once more, so close that he was actually getting worried. No one except Yorichii had ever gotten this close, and that had been....a hundred years perhaps? She'd left a mark. "If any of you die, when he arrives in Judgement, kick his ass for me!" Himo shouted at the Pillars still left which raised a bit of morale. At the same time, she called to the Dead, those who had died due to this one man spreading his hatred and annoyance everywhere because he couldn't handle one weakness. Those who were wronged, those who were tricked, and those who grieved aided her final stand as she prepared to die.
In turn, he'd made several other people's lives turn bitter, cold, sour, and cruel. Muzan could count stars and it still wouldn't be enough to match up to the lives he'd ruined.
'Hour 'nd fourteen minutes...he can destroy us by then...but not if I die first while wasting his time.'
She persisted by bodyslamming him away from interfering with Tamayo and Yushiro's cat. It shot out doses that began rapidly healing the Pillars she had yet to regenerate using her own abilities, as the wonderful little kitty it was. Patches of cut skin recovered back to normal, even in death, Lady Tamayo would continue to annoy Muzan and get in the way of his progress no matter how much or where he ran.
It was a wonder how she managed to embody the people he tried to get rid of, all the time she was just as annoying and could replace anyone he tried to kill.
"This is all in vain, just die like men you obsessed cowards!!" He yelled furiously at them while attempting to aim attacks, but she slammed into him and darted away, making him stab himself in the process which only served to make him more angry about fighting. Himo could get used to seeing such a frustrated and angry face on someone she so felt deserved to suffer. "You're a man and obsessed with killing us! Now you could die too!" She shouted back as she leapt away, taunting him with a look that almost mirrored Tamayo when she was expecting a good outcome.
Obanai remembered how Muichiro had made his sword go red from accounts thanks to the crow then tried to make his own sword go red, but nearly passed out due to lack of oxygen, which cause Himo to divert and tank the attack that had been coming for him so Giyuu could try and harm Muzan a little more. As Gyomei had said to her however, "You can't be in every place at every time to save everybody." When Muzan slashed open the invisibility trick Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Kanao had been using, she couldn't make it in time to cover for them.
Gyomei crashed together the ends of his mace, chain, and axe combination of a weapon to create sparks, Sanemi and Giyuu followed suit quickly much to her confusion though she still continued to stall by regenerating and playing games with blades to get him to harm himself in the process and rile him up."Caw!! One hour, three minutes til dawn!"
