Kyojuro: (Third Form: Blazing Universe!)

He swung down but Akaza nearly hit him

Kyojuro: (Fourth Form: Blooming Flame Undulation!)

The demon jumped back and prepared as Kyojuro raised his sword up

Akaza: (Destructive Death:)

Kyojuro: (Fifth Form: Flame Tiger!)

He threw his blade down and his flames took on the form of a tiger

Akaza: (Disorder!)

He laughed as a barrage of air waves launched at the tiger and started pummeling the tiger who never once flinched

Akaza: Kyojuro!

He punched but Kyojuro dodged and readied another strike and Akaza smirked and Kyojuro sliced up cutting of Akaza's arm but he jumped back and crouched in the smoke

Inosuke: Did he do it? Did he win?

Kyojuro stood silent unmoving as blood fell to the ground and Zane looked on terrified for him as the demon stood back up arm regrown Kyojuro was breathing hard as he was at his limit his hand shaking

Akaza: Don't die on me, Kyojuro.

Rengoku stood unmoving other than the heavy breathes he took with his blood dripping off his chin

Zane: (Rengoku...)

Tanjiro: (Rengoku! Rengoku!)

Both were terrified for Kyojuro not believing he could really be defeated

Akaza: Even if you fight to the death, you cant win, Kyojuro. Those impressive slashes you inflicted on me have already healed completely.

The scar on his torso he left as a point quickly healed as if nothing happened

Akaza: But what about you? A smashed left eye, shattered ribs and damaged internal organs... All irreparable. If you were a demon, you'd heal in the blink on an eye. Those would be mere scratches for a demon. You can struggle all you want, but a human can never beat a demon.

Behind Kyojuro, Zane slammed his hand on the ground in an attempt to get up

Zane: (I want to go help him! But there is no strength left in my arms or legs. Its partly cause of my injury, but more so the fall from the train! I must've landed harder than I originally thought!)

Still catching his breath Kyojuro stood in his spot when his aura flared up and his fighting spirit returned

Akaza: Kyojuro, why...?

The said man lifted his sword up and took a powerful stance

Kyojuro: I... I will fulfill my duty! I will not allow anyone here to die! (If I damage his body as much as I can in a instant!)

He leaned to his left as his aura burst in a strong wave

Kyojuro: (Esoteric arts!)

The demon shuttered from his determination

Akaza: What a tremendous fighting spirit! Amazing aura despite all those injuries! That mental strength!

He smiled at his opponent

Akaza: That airtight stance!

He started to laughed in joy

Akaza: You have to become a demon, after all, Kyojuro! Lets fight each other for all eternity!

A fire inside was set loose in Rengoku and spread to each limb and corner of his body

Kyojuro: (Set your heart ablaze. Go beyond your limits!)
