{third POV}

A strong sense of foreboding clogged the area, almost like a thick cloud of ash had settled in their lungs and was working away to slowly suffocate its victims.

The center of this suffocating feeling you may ask?

It was Tanjiro.

He stood protectively in front of Gyomei, Sanemi and Genya; a harsh scowl on his features as he gritted his large canines while flexing his claws. Tanjiro couldn't believe it.

Muzan was still fighting in his mind, through Tanjiro was doing his best to keep control. Because of he were to loose, Kokushibo and himself would would kill them all without a doubt.

"Haruki! Destroy the flower! Now!" Tanjiro screamed while activating his own blood demon art, long spiked emerging from his forearms.

Everyone was confused at this till someone poked their head out from behind some rubble "b-but why?! You said I need to keep it safe with my life!" The person yelled back, startling all the demon slayers who laid injured.

"Destroy it no-"

Suddenly Kokushibo took advantage of Tanjiro's unfocused state and sliced his head straight off, earning a terrified scream from Genya as his decapitated head landed right next to them.

Soon it started to crumble away, but not his body... it looked to be changing. Kokushibo stood back in surprise, watching as his body got larger and started to regrow his whole head.

When his head had fully regrown, Tanjiro was even more furious.

The spines on his arms lengthened as he stared down the upper moon "I'll put an end to you today, say hello to your brother for me" Tanjiro hissed and dodged Kokushibo's sword, redirecting all the crescent moons with a single fist as he walked head on into his attack, pulling back his arms and narrowly missing Kokushibo's side.

Kokushibo had started to get more panicked as his attacks proved futile on the boy, his only defence was to dodge Tanjiro's spines which in itself was very difficult due to their length.

"You are a disappointment to master Muzan!" The demon roared and sliced off one of Tanjiro's spikes with great difficulty, a thick black liquid poring out of the empty space before it regenerated in an instant.

Tanjiro scowled "I'll kill him along with you" he hissed and went to stab Kokushibo again, this time his spike narrowly skimming the demon's arm and making a tiny scratch.

Tanjiro grinned at the sight while Kokushibo started to panic as the liquid started to slowly circulate in his body. Without another moments hesitation, he cut off his own limb to stop the flow of the liquid.

"Hmm.. smart you've figured it out. Well I wouldn't expect any less from the upper moon one"

—————————-

"H-how could a brat like you cut off my head?!" Gyokko roared annoyed, his pots starting to dissipate as Muichiro sheathed his sword again.

"M-my beautiful art destroyed by the likes of you?!" The demon shouted again, panicking as his body began to crumble quicker. Muichiro gave the demon a disgusted look "you were weak anyways, now don't mind me I have to go find my Tanjiro" the pillar mumbled and walked off, leaving Gyokko shouting meaningless threats from behind him.
