Kamado Tanjiro Vs Muzan Kibutsuji

Chapter 63 { Lower moon 1 death }

(Lower Moon One's POV)

What the... Gyaaaaaahhhhh! The pain is so unreal! It's feel like I'm burning alive inside out! I can't take it! I can't take! I want to die!

(Tanjiro's POV)

What with this terrible scream of death and these tremors! It makes my eardrums hurt. The demon is dying... We have to escape now!

Inosuke yells proudly, "We cut his neck and make him writhe in pain! Terrific! That's why everybody call me the King Of The Mountains!"

"Inosuke! Jump out of the train now! We're falling sideways!" I warned him with a panicked tone. When I try to move, I immediately collapse onto the ground. I check my wounded area and noticed it was bleeding heavily. I'm slowly losing consciousness! Not good! I can't die right now... If I die the person will become a murderer. I can't die... I don't want anyone to die...

A few minutes later...

Hm? Whose voice is this, "Are you okay Santaro! Keep it together! You saved me when I was tangled up in demon flesh! Now is my turn!" My eyes slowly open. I see a blurry image of Inosuke trying to stop my bleeding.

He adds a little pressure to my wound and asks, "Your tummy okay? You got stabbed there!"

I open my mouth and say weakly, "I... I'm... fine, how about you?"

"I'm so fine, I'm not catching any cold!"

"Looks like I can't move right away... save the others... Are there any injured people... The driver was near the demon's neck..."

Inosuke just looks at me blankly and says, "I think it's okay for him to die! He don't deserve to live!"

"No, Inosuke... He deserves to live... I don't want him to die..."

"But Monjiro! He's the one who stabbed you in the tummy! That guy got his leg caught and he can't move! His foot is squashed and he can't walk anymore! If I get him out, he'll die anyway!"

"Then I think he had enough punishment... Go save him... I don't want people dying in front of me... Please..." I just look at him with a tired and weak expression.

He sighs and says, "...Hmph. I'll do it. Because I'm the boss. And my underlings asked me to! After I save him, I'm gonna pluck all his hair off!"

"Please don't do that... That's disturbing..." Dawn is closing in... Stabilize my breathing now. I gotta... help the injured... Nezuko... Zenitsu... Rengoku-san... I'm sure they are safe... I believe Rengoku-san will ensure Nezuko and Zenitsu safety...

(Lower Moon One's POV)

My body is getting destroyed... I can't regenerate and the pain is as bad as hell... I had never met a swordsman like him before that can inflict such painful blow. Did I lose? Am I dying?

No way... no way... I haven't unleashed my full strength! I couldn't eat a single person... My plan to merge with the train and eat a whole bunch of people in one glup is now in ruins! I even ended up like this...! Eventhough I put so much time and effort...! That guy! It's all his fault! I've taken 200 people as hostages, but I still go pushed back. I got pinned down. This is the strength of the pillars.

That other guy... that guy was too fast. Eventhough he couldn't completely get out of my technique! And that girl! Isn't he a demon?! What the hell! A demon siding with the demon hunters! Why hasn't she been killed by Muzan-sama? This is hell! From the beginning... All of my bad luck began after that kid got through my technique! It's all the brat's fault! I'm fine with just killing the brat... Yeah and the boar! If only I could have killed that brat! But that boar got in the way. His intuition is strong and out of the ordinary. He was also very aware of my gazes. Did I lose? Am I dying? This is a nightmare... I can't accept this!

It's always us lower demons that keep getting killed by the demon hunters. The upper moons, the demons whose ranks haven't changed for hundred of years, they've buried mountains. They've even buried demon hunter pillars. Is their strength on a completely different level? I never reached the upper moons despite being given so much blood... Aaaah... I wanna redo, I want to have a redo! What a miserable... nightmare... this... is... Well time to rest in hell... the remains of my body are all gone and turned to dust...

(Tanjiro's POV)

"So you can use you full focus breaths all the time now! Impressive! Impressive!" said a voice near me. I immediately open my eyes and notice Rengoku-san standing above me.

He says, "Doing it all day is taking one step to becoming a pillar! But it might take a thousand steps to pillardom! Hm... you're bleeding from the abdomen... Try and focus some more and raise the accuracy of your breaths. Spread the the sensitivity to every part of your body." I was confused for a moment but I still follow his instructions. I take in a deep breath and try to spread the oxygen all throughout my body.

"There's a blood vessel and it's broken. Focus some more. Try to circulate your blood to your wound." I exhale my breath slowly and something happened. My wound slowly stop leaking out blood.

"Good, now you top the bleeding. Try and stop the hemorrhage and clot your wound with it." he said. I nodded and focus even more. Suddenly the pain at my abdomen lessen.

He smiles and compliments me, "Good you stopped it, my boy. If you master your breathing, you'll be able to accomplish various things. It's not like you can do everything, but you can definitely get stronger compared to how you were the day before."

I look at him and reply, "Yes, thanks for the advice, Rengoku-san."

He smiles brightly and says confidently, "Everyone is safe. There's a lot of injured people, but nothing life threatening. You don't have to push yourself any further..." In a span of a second, me and Rengoku feel a very heavy presence coming toward us. A white figure crash landed behind us creating a very loud boom sound. The air around the area also become much heavier than before...
