Kamado Tanjiro Vs Muzan Kibutsuji

Chapter 7 { Deceased }

Spirit Of The Deceased

Makomo says, 'Sabito, do you think Tanjiro can really do it?

Sabito replies, 'I am sure he can do it and you know that right? He is by far the strongest Urokodaki's student. He already surpassed him in many expects.'

Back to Tanjiro...

(Tanjiro's POV)

The demon says, 'Tell me, fox boy. Right now what Meiji Emperor sit upon the throne?'

I answer, 'The imperial family is Taisho!'

It look at me with widen eyes and started screaming while scratching him own body very hard until his body bleed, 'GAAAAGH! I've been here so long that dynasties have risen and fallen! Again and again! All while I've been trap here! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Damn Urokodaki! Damn Urokodaki! Damn him! Damn Urokodaki!'

I reply, 'You know Uro...'

He suddenly answers, 'Oh, I know him! Urokodaki was the one who captured me! I will never forget! It's been 47 torturous years! Back then he was still a demon slayer! In the Edo Period, The Keido Era!'

Huh?! Demon slayer in Edo Period! The boy yell at it, 'You're laying! No demon here has been alive that long! Lies! They only put demons up here that have eaten two or three people and they get killed during selection! Plus, the demon eat each other too!'

The demon replies, 'But I have survived a very long time. In this prison of wisteria blossoms, I have eaten 50 of you brats!'

I think at its statement, 'Fifty?! I remember Urokodaki said a demon's strength comes from the number of people its has consumed. If it eats more people, it gets stronger. They grow stronger and some physically change, gaining unatural powers. If your nose gets stronger, you'll be able to tell how many people has the demon eaten.'

It started counting, '12...13...and you are number 14.'

I reply, 'What are you taking about?!'

It laughed, 'Hee Hee Hee Hee! That's how many of Urokodaki's student' I have eaten! I've decided to kill all of his students! Yes indeed! Thirteen of Urokodaki's students, but above all two of them I'll never forget. He had a colourful jacket and was the strongest by far. He had peach-colour and a scar by his mouth. The other was a girl-brat whose kimono was cover in flowers. She was small and not so strong but she was very agile.'

I widen my eyes, ' How could this demon have killed them? They've trained me!'

The demon continue saying, 'I recognize you by those fox masks. I know the grain of those mask that Urokodaki craves. They're craved the same way as the tengu mask he wore. Did he called it a "warding mask"? I ate them all because of the masks they wore. They're all inside my stomach. It's like Urokodaki fed them to me!'

I take a deep breath to keep my cool. I am very furious at the demon.

It laughed sadisticly, 'Heh Heh Heh Heh... The girl-brat wept and grew angry when I told her that. Heh Heh Heh Heh... Soon her movements got shaky. Heh Heh Heh! Then I ripped off her arms and legs!' He really hit my nerves. How dare he do that to Makomo! I quickly took a deep breath and rushed toward it. I swing crazily at it, cutting off his arms. It suddenly punch me at my side but I quickly cut his arm and jump back several metre to get some breaths.

At the sliced boulder...

Sabito says, 'Stay calm, Tanjiro. Your breathing is uneven. Don't worry about us! Focus on what you must do! Don't lose!'

Back to Tanjiro...

I was holding my ground while the participant escape from the battle. I run at it and suddenly I smell a strange smell from the ground. I noticed that the ground was shaking. I quickly leap into the air and the ground was burst through by three giant arms. The arms are trying to grab me.

The demon thinks, 'I missed he notice my hands underground and leapt away! What a leap! But in midair, he can't dodge this attack.' It punch straight toward me while I am falling in midair. I quickly take a deep breath and yell, 'Sun breathing!Seventh form Burning Sun!'I do a circular burning slash and slice it arm.

'He escape! I'm out of hands! I can't grow more in time! The fox-brat in striking range! But my neck is hard and imprevious. Even the peach-hair can't cut me!' it though.

I quickly take another deep breath, 'Total concentration. Sun breathing!'I launch toward its head and gonna cut it.

The demon reassure itself, 'When he fail to cut my neck, I'll grab his head and crush it. Just like I did to the others!'I sniff for the opening thread. When I see the thread, it immediately straightens.

Back to Sabito...

Makomo says, 'Is it possible that Tanjiro will lose too? That thing's so hard.'

Sabito replies, 'He will win. I am certain because the boulder that Tanjiro cut was bigger and harder than anyone had ever cut before. His breath style also helps his blade to be more sharper and deadlier. If he and Urokodaki have a battle in speed and strength. He will surely win. If he got more expriences on killing demons. He will surely become the strongest demon slayer in this generation. I believe in him. He will surely win this battle and set us children free from this eternal hell.'

Back to Mount Fujikasane...

I yell, 'Twentieth three form! Sunbow Full Sun!'I do a downward burning slash in midair and produced a powerful sixfold slash with sun shaped blade in them crashing down on the demon. The demon was cut to six slice and created miniature craters when the slashes have landed.
