Traitor of the Demons

Anger As Sharp As A Knife

"RUN! THE WISTERIA IS ONLY A FEW HUNDRED METERS AWAY!" Screamed Tanjiro.

The group of people too injured to continue the trial ran past him, giving him nods or thanking him briefly.

He took a stance staring down the horde of demons chasing after them. Unflinching, he concentrated on his breathing.

"Oho this one wants to be a hero, I'll respect that notion by killing you quickly" said a demon who has come closer to Tanjiro slowly,

"Blood Style form 7: Menstruation!"

"Huh? What kind of name is th- ARGH" Tanjiro lunged forward having decapitated the demon in one swift strike.

Tanjiro switched positions and performed an overhead slash, cutting a demon in half before weaving the blade side to side, cutting through torsos left and right.

A demon dodged to the side and jumped on Tanjiro's back, Tanjiro using Flesh Expansion to impale it through the skull with a spike from the back of his neck.

He kept gracefully slashing away at his adversaries, not showing any signs of slowing down, the whirlwind of blade and blood tearing its way from one end of the horde to the other.

Once he was finished running the demons into the ground, absolutely destroying any threat present.

His few scratches began to heal and he wandered back into the depths of the forest to search for more wounded.

He didn't find any more survivors but he did find something else. The Hand Demon. He had heard from Kagaya about this demon, trapped here on the mountain.

It had killed around 14 of Sakonji Urokodaki's students. The man who used to be the water Hashira.
Tanjiro didn't kill it immediately though. As it would, hopefully, be able to lead him to more survivors.

The number of people had to have dwindled down to the single digits as Tanjiro could only smell a single person over the smell of all the demons nearby.

The Demon seemed to be finishing off another student of Urokodaki's, a boy named Koro, the obvious handiwork of the demon soaking the mask that was on the ground being that of Urokodaki's creation.

Tanjiro was filled with rage as he clenched his teeth, the boy was very sweet and didn't bat an eye that him, Tamayo, or Yushiro were demons when they had come to visit Tamayo.

Tanjiro's vision pulsated and everything around him went black, the only things remaining were his own body, glowing white, and the hand demon glowing red.

'I lost my temper again' Tanjiro thought 'I guess I can work with this, even though rage mode is a pain'

Tanjiro darted forward faster than the human eye could comprehend, jabbing his blade into the stomach of the gluttonous demon.

The demon let out a bellow of pain and locked his eyes on Tanjiro.

"You little bastard" he shouted at Tanjiro "you think you can kill me? ILL FUCKING DESTROY YO- EH?"

Tanjiro looked up and made eye contact with the demon, the latter recoiling at the shock of another demon being his adversary, much less one so small and yet so powerful.

He felt something in his gut (apart from the sword). It was the same feeling a high school boy would get when faced with an angry short girl. Fear in its purest form.

The Hand demon shot arms out at Tanjiro who dodged them by ducking and revolved around the demon, hilt in hand, rotating the blade, separating the demon's top half from the bottom. The demon didn't have to time to regenerate before Tanjiro continued his onslaught, the demon losing one arm after another.

Normally he would've had time to regenerate his arms but Tanjiro attacked so furiously and fast that he had no time and had to once again stay on the defensive instead of healing.

"You think you got me huh?" The Hand Demon, now more appropriately named the Lack of Hand Demon, spoke wrapping all the arms that had managed to slowly regenerate during the attack around his neck. "My iron wall of arms has never been breached when this dense around my neck and before long I will be back to full strength and I WILL kill you"

Tanjiro just laughed

The demon, even though confident in his defense of his neck, still got chills as a cold sweat ran down his body.

"Sorry but that's not going to cut it" they both said at the same time. The demon in reference to Tanjiro's sword and Tanjiro in reference to the defense of his neck.

"Blood Breathing Third Form: Raging Boner"

The demon was caught off guard by the name but before he could react Tanjiro had penetrated (hehe) the demon's arm defense before rising up cutting them open, revealing his neck.

Before the Hand Demon could react Tanjiro had sliced his head off. It was over, and Tanjiro had won. One of his swords lay broken on the ground.

He then proceeded to fall over and go to sleep.
