Opening her eyes Nezuko raised her glowing hand as her blood started to glow as well

Nezuko: (Demon Blood Art: Exploding Blood!)

She clenched her hand tightly as her blood erupted into a pink fire as it shot towards Rui who looked more shocked a wall of fire getting between them but Zane ran through and swung hitting Rui's neck

Zane: The bond between Nezuko and me... 

He stomped his right foot down as the blood on his blade started to glow too

Zane: Is stronger than anything you'll ever create!

He pushed his blade in as a pink fire erupted on his blade helping him cut through Rui's neck as a thick blue cosmic ring appeared around Zane with a pink fire outline

Rui's head was sent flying through the air and as the effects and fires disappeared his head and body his the ground and Zane fell back as well then the threads finished burning and Nezuko fell

Zane: N-Nezuko! Nezuko!

He struggled to flipped over onto his stomach

Zane: I-I won! I won! 

He flashed back to the memories that played in his head

Zane: My mother saved me! I'm not sure what I did or how I used it, but whatever it was it saved me! I was able to beat him!

The Chionodoxa Flowers softly blew with the wind around them then he raised himself up slowly as everything turned blurry

Zane: (Huh? Its hard to see! Is it cause I took too many breaths?)

Then he heard a ringing in his ear and a pain shot through him 

Zane:  (This ringing is so loud! So brutal! I cant hear anything! My whole body is shaking in pain!)

He raised himself back up again and started to crawl forward

Zane: (I gotta... Heal up fast! I'm not done fighting! I gotta save Inosuke! Right now!)

As he crawled he heard a heart beat behind him

Zane: (What the? A heart beat? Come to think of it, it didn't start that burning sound.)

Then his eyes widened

Zane: (Wait! Don't tell me...)

Behind him Rui's body walked up to him

Zane: Even though I chopped your head off!

Then the body pulled some threads as Rui's head lowered

Rui: You thought you'd defeated me? Poor kid. Did your pathetic delusion bring you joy? I cut my head myself with my own threads... Before you chop it off. 

The boy tried to crawl faster

Rui: Enough. I'll kill both you and your ally. I haven't been this enraged in a long time.

Zane: (Get up! You gotta get up right now! Get your breathing under control! Hurry! Right now!)

The body now holding Rui's head walked closer

Rui: But I wonder why you're not burning up.

He placed his head back on as his veins bulged

Rui: It was only me and my threads that caught on fire, right? 

"Lower Five"

Rui: I don't know if its her power, but thanks for getting me super-annoyed.

He moved his still red hands and pulled on red threads between his hands
