(Tanjiro's POV)

I did it eventhough I am very tired. I was able to muster up my remaining stamina to cut his head. His head fall down of his body.

He shouted, 'Gah! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! All I had to do was bring your head back and the great one would recognize my abilities! I won't forgive you! I won't forgive you! I won't forgive you, I won't forgive you, I won't forgive you! If I can perish along with you! As long as I perish along with you!'

Suddenly my body was hit with a lot a lot of arrow patterns. Not good, the battle is still not decided yet! I was struck by his attack! I was suddenly pull away with great force. The pull of this arrow pattern is the strongest I felt from all his arrow patterns up till now! His moves are following one after another, If I don't do something then my body won't be able to handle it! I gonna crush into the wall! I yell, 'First Style! Sun Waltz!' I do a concentrated single slash at the wall to break my impact. I was suddenly launch up toward the sky. My body is being suppressed... I can't swing my blade! I need to use it! I need to use it! I need to use my sword technique!

I yell some sword technique while being throw like a ping pong ball around the place, 'Sun Heaven! Sun Waltz! Burning Sun! Fire Chariot! Scorching Crimson Sun!' I sucessfully break all my impact. I've never attempted to use my sword techniques consecutively like this before. I have only try to use two sword techniques consecutively! Both of my arms feel like they are about to be torn off! How many more times? How many more... Don't get distracted! I need to continue using my sword techniques. I need to live! I need to live for NEZUKO SAKE!

Suddenly I active my mark of the sun state again. This time my eyes started to bleed and my vision gets a bit blury. I don't feel tired nor pain anymore. I keep going and using my sword techniques, 'Shining Sun Stab! God Sun Flash! Bright Sun- Morning Palace! Mirror Of Fortune- Sunlight!'

After all that, it finally stop. The demon had crumble away into dust. I fall down on to the ground hard. I revert back to my normal state and started to pant heavily. My ribs and leg are broken. I'm so tired that I can't hold my blade. I twist my body around and lay face up on the ground for a while. I sigh in relieve that everything is over now. I stared at the stars while thinking about my family and life. I am cursed and blessed at the same time. I lost my family while only Nezuko survived but turned into demon. I become a demon slayer to defend people from the demon is a blessing. I am able to see people smiles while see people live out their lifes happily. I am very lucky to be able to defeat a few strong demons and survive their encounter. I bet it was my father and my family put a lucky charm on me. Always protecting me from harms anytime and everywhere. My tears starting to drip from my face. I sometime feel I failed to save my mother and my sibilings. If I had arrived earlier, I would have protected my family and Nezuko won't turn into a demon. Okay, time to stop thinking about the past. Focus on the present now. You now can only protect Nezuko. This time you won't failed to protect her this time! I rest for a while and start to get up on my feet. It really hurts! My legs keep shaking from tiredness. I use my sword as a support and slowly walk one step at a time toward the house.

When I arrived at the house, I saw another demon confronting Tamayo. I can't walk fast. I shouted, 'Tamayo-san! Hurry run! Me and Nezuko can defend you!'

She looks at me and her eyes widens. She was shocked to see me in a very injured state. She replies, 'Don't worry Tanjiro. I will be fine. Let me handle it.' with a calm tone.

She says, 'Demon-san, are you aware of Kibutsuji's identity?'

It replies in sudden panic, 'What are you talking about! You're just a escapee!'

She continue saying, 'That man is a coward. He's always afraid.'

It shouted to her, 'Shut up you escapee! Shut up now!'

She ignore her and continue saying, 'He only gathered the demons together to prevent himself from being attacked. You are only being manipulated.'

It yells, 'Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! The great one is not some minor villain like that! The great's one power is incomparable to anything else! He is stronger than anyone!'

Yushiro suddenly noticed something, 'Tamayo-sama is using her ability.'

The demon yell again, 'Kibutsuji-sama is...' Suddenly it stop talking. It cover its mouth and shiver in extreme fear.

Tamayo use her ability, 'Blood Demon Art. Mystical Fragrance Of The White Day.' Her ability acts like a truth serum. It cause brain function to decrease and will make the recipient confess their lies while not allowing them to keep any secrets.

She says, 'You shouted the name. The curse will now active. How sad... Goodbye.'

The demon suddenly run around in panic while shouting, 'Please please forgive me! Please forgive me! Please forgive me! Ahhhh! Urh Urgh!' it spilt out large amount of blood and suddenly big demon's hands brust through its mouth and stomach. Its guts spilt everywhere and it fall down on to the ground dead. I stand there in horror while watching the gruesome scenery.
