He ran down the hallway but immediately he heard a biwa play as he was now in a different section of the infinity fortress, he smelled a scent scent he thought he never smell again

Tanjiro turn his head to the right looking seeing Nakime on a tall platform overlooking the section, then a strung of her biwa several demons attacked tanjiro on all sides

Nakime observed the young man who in blinding speeds cut all their heads off in a breathing technique that was beautiful and elegant like a dance but it sent shivers down her spine

Nakime saw the transparent figure of someone who looked like her nephew but older, she immediately went into action and send three structures towards tanjiro who dodged her attack

Nakime send more from all directions and had moved the platforms underneath tanjiro to kill him, tanjiro jumped before the floor could disappear as he jumped off the structure as they all crashed together making a loud boom

"B-become auntie I-*cough*-I made this...."
