This is the last fight scene! It's a long one Enjoy ;)

——————————-
{third POV}

Everyone stilled as a sudden crushing silence filtered through the area, only the shallow gasping breaths of Tanjiro echoing in their minds.

"Take another step I'll kill him" kibutsuji warned, his grip on the boy's neck growing tighter by the second.

"Drop your swords" he ordered, raising his claws to emphasise he was serious. The hashira looked at each other while contemplating "n-no! d... on't" Tanjiro spluttered, his words hardly inaudible as his air supply slowly closed off.

This wouldn't kill him obviously, but Muzan could make any demon's cells die in an instant. That's what terrified all of them.

Tanjiro thrashed his wings harshly, swiping his claws across Muzan's face in a split second. Blood spurted from the wound before it closed quickly.

He instantly regretted it when a rough pair of lips was smashed onto his own, the boy's eyes vibrating with rage and fear as he tried desperately to destroy pull away.

The pillar's watched in disbelief, they couldn't get near them for the fear of hurting their loved one. They were stuck right under Muzan's thumb; and it was infuriating.

Each and everyone felt an awful pit of malice in their stomachs as Muzan forced their Tanjiro into a kiss which seemed to last for an eternity. Tanjiro made constant struggling noises of discomfort as he repeatedly slashed his claws across Muzan's chest.

However he didn't budge, he stayed there till Tanjiro hadn't enough strength to resist anymore.

They were loosing.

Until...

"MONJIROOOO!!!"

None other than our favourite bore head came crashing down on Muzan, cutting off his hand which was holding Tanjiro and breaking their kiss unexpectedly.

Inosuke roared and puffed up his chest, jumping in front of Tanjiro who landed on the floor and readying his swords. Next Zenitsu landed beside the bore, electricity surrounding his body as he stared at the demon king.

Slowly the hashira started to join them, bearing their swords and other various weapons.

"CAW CAW FIVE MINUTES TILL SUNRISE"

Muzan growled with displeasure "I'll slaughter you all!" He screeched, light splashes of sunlight beginning to rise above the buildings.

Everyone stood back to watch what would happen as more and moor rays of light lit up their surrounding. Even Muzan was tense as he waited for it to hit his skin.

That's when... the first sunlight he had experienced decades started to burn and char his body. The demon king lit up in flames, his screams echoing sinisterly around the frozen group.

Their spirits started to brighten.

However all their hope was diminished when the fire surrounding the demon extinguished in a second, revealing Muzan with a wide grin as his skin slowly started to heal itself.

Everyone gasped and took a step back, Tanjiro being the one closest to him now as he didn't move.

He knew this would happen.

He retrieved the flower after all. It was all Tanjiro's fault, and he would fix his mistake in due time.

He already felt an overwhelming guilt from all the low rank demon slayers whom Muzan had massacred in a split second, it was physically crushing him from the inside out.
