Dreamland-Kny oc

Finale

Akaza's and Rengoku's fight drags on. However, the flame hashira is looking the worst out of the two. His breaths seem quicker and his heartbeat is beating swiftly. Flames erupt from his sword as Akaza punches the air, sending slashes of condensed air at Rengoku. It's kind of like when I was fighting the gravity blood demon art, you aren't able to see the attacks.

I would love to help, but the speed of their fight is just too much. I'd only end up getting in the way. The scent of blood is clear, but it's mostly demon blood. This means Rengoku hasn't been badly hurt yet.

" Rengoku," Tanjiro whispers worriedly.

He says this as Akaza stomps into the ground and the soft earth breaks under the pressure.

" You don't get it, do you? The more you attack the closer you get to dying, Kyojuro!" Akaza shouts.

Rengoku just screams in response. Akaza swings at Rengoku and he dodges it the best he could, however, human blood becomes apparent. He is more on the defense than the attack as well. This isn't looking good. He spins and flames follow his movements, slicing off the demon's arms. However, they regrow in an instant.

" It would be a shame to kill you know, Kyojuro! You aren't as strong as you could be!"

Those words are followed with a crack as the demon buries its fist into Rengoku's stomach. The demon slayer stumbles back, spitting out blood. He then lunges forwards, using a circular motioned flame attack, in which the demon easily blocks.

" In a year or two, your skills could be more refined and you'd have greater precision!" the demon shouts, punching the flame hashira in the face.

He stumbles, blood leaking into his right eye forcing him to keep it closed. Rengoku uses multiple forms in combination of each other, but does not manage to get a hit in.

" You see Aku?"" Akaza turns his attention to me, " even those deemed the strongest are weak! Join me and my side! We'll make sure no one ever hurts the people you care about!"

" I'm not human! It doesn't matter who's the strongest between them!" I respond, trying to distract him for a second.

" Exactly, they will never fully accept you either! Join me!"

He reaches out a hand as a tiger-shaped flame charges towards him.

It's true, by fighting demons and watching a hashira fight, the demons are stronger. However, I can pretty much do everything I demon can, but without having to eat humans to get stronger. Though I may consider it, I would never betray Tanjiro and Nezuko.

" These are my people! They're my friends and I'm not going to accept your offer!" I shout angrily as Rengoku charges.

Swinging upwards, blood spatters the ground and the demon goes silent.

" Did he do it? Did he win?" Inosuke asks.

No. Akaza stands back up, regrowing his missing arm and glares at Rengoku, who's breathing heavily.

" Don't tell me..." Tanjiro gasps in disbelief.

The demon takes a moment to speak.

" Don't die just yet, Kyojuro. I want to fight you more," he sighs.

Fear seeps into the air, like an airborne plague.

" Even if you fight till the death, you can't win Kyojuro."

It's true, no matter how I look at it, Rengoku will not survive until daybreak.

" Every bit of damage you have done is already healed. But you... your injuries are bad... a ruined eye, broken ribs and injured internal organs. These are all irreparable. If you became a demon, you could heal these wounds in an instant. You can struggle all you want, but a human could never beat a demon!"
