The train destroyed every tree that was in its way.

-3rd Person POV-
Tanjiro says, "Inosuke, protect the passe—" Tanjiro was cut off by him being flung out into the air. Tanjiro grabbed the conductor and watched as the train come to stop. He lands near a tree and places the conductor down and goes back to check on anyone who was hurt. Inosuke yells as he bounces on the demon's flesh and lands on the ground. He looked at the destroyed train and boasted, "Where are you, Santaro?" He saw Tanjiro fly toward the train and followed behind him. Inosuke caught up to him and asked, "Santaro! Did you see me bounce off the demon's flesh?" Tanjiro replied, "Yeah. Inosuke, we need to look for any survivors." They began to search around for survivors.

-With a Dying Enmu-
Enmu's remain's crawled toward Tanjiro very slowly while thinking, "My body is disintegrating. I can't regenerate. Did I lose? Am I gonna die? Me? Ridiculous. Ridiculous! I haven't been able to go all out! I couldn't devour a single human! My plan to fuse with the train and devout humans en masse just went up in smoke! And now, look what I've been reduced to! After all the time and trouble I've taken! It was him! It's all his fault! Even though I'd taken 200 humans hostage, still I struggled! I was held at bay! Is this the power of a Hashira? And him... He was fast, too. Even though he never broke the spell completely! Not to mention that girl! She's a demon! What's that about? A demon, joining forces with Demon Slayers? Why hasn't Muzan-sama killed the traitor? Dammit! Dammit! In the first place... it all started going downhill once that brat broke my spell! That brat is to blame! I wish I could at least kill that brat! Somehow! That's right, and that boar, too! I could've at least killed that brat! But that boar thwarted me. His intuition is extraordinary. He could sense my gaze! Am I going to lose? Am I going to die? Oh, what a nightmare! What a nightmare! It's always the bottom-feeder demon who gets killed by the Demon Slayers. In the Upper Ranks, the same demons have remained for the last few centuries. They're strong enough to defeat a Hashira who've killed an untold number of demons. Do they have otherworldly powers? Even after receiving so much of his blood, I couldn't reach the Upper Ranks! I want to do it over! I want to do it over! What a miserable nightmare this is..." Enmu finally dies after a grueling amount of time to himself.

-With Tanjiro-
After telling Inosuke he'd be by the locomotive, Tanjiro stood there with time to himself. He tried an attack that he'd seen in his dreams. He focused energy into his palm and created a very small energy ball. He threw it into the sky and watched it disappear. Kyojuro shows up and says, "What was that you just did? That seems impressive." Tanjiro jumped and said, "Rengoku-san..." He began to explain what he did but didn't explain it properly because it was his first time ever using it. Then Kyojuro asked, "Have you mastered Total Concentration Constant?" "Yes," Tanjiro replies. Kyojuro said, "Impressive! Mastering Total Concentration Constant is one step closer to becoming a Hashira. Although, there might be 10,000 steps before becoming a Hashira. But you'll be able to do all kinds of things when you master breathing. Not that you'll be able to do everything,  it you'll become a stronger version of yourself than yesterday for sure." Tanjiro says, "Right." Kyojuro smiled but then said, "Everyone's safe! There are hordes of injured people, but no one's life is in danger. Rest up, boy. We will wait for the Kakushi to arri-" Kyojuro was cut off by a demon smashing into the ground behind them. They both felt the immense pressure and looked toward the location. They instantly got into position as Tanjiro closely looked at the demon and widened his eyes.

Chapter 58: End

This is a relative small chapter because of some changes that are made.

-A Little Secret-
Tanjiro had a dream where a man did the same thing he did. Only, the energy ball was much, much bigger.
