     "Everyone!! Don't pull back on your attacks! Drive him into the ground!!", Gyomei instructed.

     "Let's do it!! Graaaaaaah! I'll shred him into pieces! I'll keep hacking until there's nothing left!! GRAAAAAAAAH!!!", Sanemi yelled as he dashed towards Kokushibo.

     "Muichiro! Let go of your sword and back away!", Kiyomi yelled. Muichiro just listened and quickly backed away before Sanemi and Gyomei used a technique.

    "Breath of Wind, Eight Form: Primal Tempest Cutter!", Sanemi cut Kokushibo everywhere, but he still regenarated very quick.

   "Breath of Stone, Fifth form: Brick Wheel Judgement!", Gyomei threw his chains towards Kokushibo and attacked, but the upper moon still regenerated.

    Everyone's eyes widened when they saw Kokushibo's head growing back, but this time, his face looked very terrifying, and he also looked like a bug.

   "He regenerated his head! The bastard! Sh!t! God dammit!!", Sanemi cursed.

   "Press the attack! His body should be fragile after losing his head!", Gyomei yelled, "He isn't regenerating as fast as Muzan! Take his head! No matter how many times it takes!!"

   Everyone dashed towards Kokushibo, ready to attack him.

   The upper moon was about to attack them once more, but when he saw his reflection on Kiyomi's fan while she was going to attack, he froze for a moment and realized how hideous he looked. 

   He then noticed that his body where Muichiro stabbed him in was starting to crumble. He was focused on his body crumbling he couldn't move in time as Gyomei crushed his head, Sanemi cut him everywhere, Genya shot his body from afar, Muichiro cut off his legs, and Kiyomi lastly used her Fifth form: Pretty but Deadly, to make him crumble painlessly.

    Kokushibo didn't move as he continued to crumble away until the only things left were his clothes and a small flute that was cut in half.

    Sanemi still continued to dash at where Kokushibo died with his dead eyes. Gyomei held him to snap him out.

    "Shinazugawa!! It's over!! Upper moon one is defeated! The battle is over! It's already done!", Gyomei yelled before Sanemi fainted.

    Genya hurriedly ran to his older brother and his teacher, "Is Nemi alright?!", He worriedly said.

   "Yes, he just lost consciousness.", Gyomei replied as he put Sanemi on the ground.

    'I.. I did it! I saved Muichiro and Genya from getting killed!', Kiyomi thought as tears of joy and relief appeared in her eyes.

   "Are you okay, Kiyomi-san?", Muichiro looked at Kiyomi's teary eyes with worry.

   "... *Sniff*.. Yeah, I'm fine. What about you?", Kiyomi wiped her tears away and asked back.

   "I'm fine too.", Muichiro smiled.

   "I'm sorry you couldn't meet your family...", Kiyomi mumbled.

   "Hm?", Muichiro couldn't hear what she said. Kiyomi just smiled and said 'it was nothing' before the two of them went to the other three.

   "While Sanemi-san is still unconscious, you guys should rest for a bit.", Kiyomi said as she sat down. The others agreed as they also sat down.

   'Now that this fight is over, then next is to defeat Muzan...', Kiyomi thought before remembering something.

   'I have to tell Kiriya-sama!', Kiyomi thought before taking out one of Yushiro's papers with blood demon art in her haori and putting it on her forehead, confusing the people beside her, but decided not to ask.

   'Kiriya-sama.. Answer if you can hear me, please', Kiyomi called in her thoughts, using Yushiro's demon art as a phone.

   'Takahashi-san?', Kiriya replied, relieving Kiyomi.

   'Kiriya-sama, I have to tell you in advance that please don't let the first team and second team get near Muzan! Muzan will revive just about now, so don't let the slayers get near him and make them retreat, please!', Kiyomi said in her mind.

Meanwhile...

   Kiriya listened to what Kiyomi told him in mind, and ordered the slayers to retreat quickly. His eyes widened when he saww from his kasugai crow that Muzan has revived.

    "Did the teams retreat back?", Kiriya asked, his voice remaining calm.

    "Yes, they are now far from Muzan.", One of his sisters replied.

    'They are now away from Muzan.', Kiriya thought.

Back to Kiyomi and the others...

   Kiyomi sighed in relief after hearing Kiriya that the slayers were safe. 

  "What is the matter, Takahashi?", Gyomei said to Kiyomi when he noticed her sigh.

   "It's nothing, I'm just relieved.", Kiyomi smiled as the others agreed with her, they were also relieved that they managed to defeat upper moon one.

     Sanemi finally woke up, relieving everyone who fought along him.

    "Nemi! Are you okay?!", Genya asked worriedly.

    Sanemi noticed that no one died, so he sighed in relief, but his sigh looked like sighing in disappointment to Kiyomi and others, so they got confused on why he sighed like that.

   "Yeah, I'm fine.", Sanemi said as he stood up.

    "Let's get going. This battle isn't over yet.", Sanemi said as he began to sprint away.

  The others agreed as they also stood up and ran to find Muzan and defeat him.
