(Tanjiro's POV)

I say, 'Tamayo-san, is that demon close to Kibutsuji?'

She replies, 'I'm afraid so...'

I continue saying 'Then I will definitely collect that demon's blood! You can count in me!'

I quickly run to Nezuko's side and ignore my fatigue and pain. Me and Nezuko looked at the demon immediately rushed toward him together and attack him. Suddenly Nezuko was push back by an invisible force. I also suddenly slip and was pushed back to a tree. The force was so hard it broke the tree behind me. I continue get pulled around by the invisible force hitting trees after trees while destroying them and then slam me onto the ground creating a crater. I get up and groaned in pain. I strengthen my resolve and face him again while in pain, 'How can I predict his attack. I can't even see it or smell it! I know his attack can't curve but able to change direction during activation. What is it?! How can I do it? I can't active the mark of the sun state because I am too tired... If I can see the his attack, maybe I can defeat him.'

Suddnely Yushiro shouted, 'Hey! Stupid demon hunter! If you can see the arrow patterns, you will know which direction they will be traveling! Just avoid the arrows patterns! If you do that, you will be able to chop off that demon's head! I'll load you my sight!' He throw a small paper with wierd symbol to my forehead and it attached to my forehead. I suddenly able to see arrows coming toward me! Perfect! Now I can invade his attack!

I yell back, 'Yushiro! Thank you! I can see the arrow patterns now!'

He shouted back, 'Don't be too careless! He is stronger than the last demon! Be careful and predict his attack carefully!'

I reply, 'Okay! I'll be careful, Yushiro!'

He turns toward Tamayo and says, 'Tamayo-sama! Lets make them our bait to lure the demons away while we run away!' She look at him with a horrified expression.

He immediately says, 'Just kidding!'

I begin to dodge all the arrows and rushed toward him although my fatigue haven't dissapear. I must collect his blood so that we can make the medicine as soon as possible.

For Nezuko sake! And maybe I can also help people that had turn into demons back into a human. Let them leave a normal live. I also promised Nezuko to buy her a new kimono. I never forget that promise! I'll fight whatever kind of demon that stands in my way! And I'll win!

I sniff and I see it! The line of interval! When I got near him the line suddenly severed. I quickly noticed the arrow below me and I do a quick backflip to avoid it. I landed on the ground but another arrow appear behind my back. I am too late to dodge it. I was hit by the arrow and was sent flying up from the ground. I started to fall from the sky very fast. I quickly concentrate all my blood flow into my legs and landed safely onto the ground. Suddenly Nezuko appears beside me and leap toward the demon. She do an axe kick in midair, 'Blood Demon Art! Infernal Blood Burst!' Her legs was set on fire and she kicked her leg down onto the demon.

He quickly dodge the attack and her kick hit the ground. When her kick hit the ground, she created a giant fiery crater on the ground. I sweated a bit when I witness Nezuko strength. I reminded myself to be more nicer to Nezuko from now on. I don't want to get on her bad side. I quickly take this chance and rushed toward the demon. The demon released a lot of arrow patterns toward me. I quickly yell, 'Seventh Style! Burning Sun!' I do a circular burning slash and burned all the arrow into ashes. The demon quickly releases another arrow toward me and hit me. He sent me flying back to a wall really hard. I coughed out a little amount of blood and continue to stand up. My whole body is tired and quite hurt. I can't get near him. Whenever I destroy his arrows, he creates more. The speed of the arrows also increased. If I have a slightest miscalculation or mistake, I will not be able to dodge the arrows and will get throw around very fast and hard. It gonna be very hurt.

Suddenly Nezuko appears beside me again. She grabs me and throw me toward the demon's direction high and far. I was not prepare for her action. I shouted, 'Nezuko! What are you doing!' She ignores me and reached her hand out toward the demon and her hand suddenly glow brightly, 'Blood Demon Art! Fiery Blood Blast!' She release a blast of red flame toward the demon to distract and burn the demon.

The demon got burned and groaned in pain, 'Hot hot hot! It's burns! Why you little brat! You ruined my clothes! You will pay for it!' I suddenly realise what is she planning. She would distract the demon and I go for the finishing blow. Wow, I never though my sister is a battle strategist. When she was human, she never like violents but she is the smartest in the family. She might be a genius at making battle strategy. I am quite proud of my sister.

While the demon was distracted by the flame, I quickly dive down from the sky and yell, 'Second Style! Sun Heaven!' I spin my body in midair and do a 360-dergee burning slash and cut the demon head and neck to half. I landed and quickly get into a stance. I stared at the demon while he slowly crumble into dust.
