"Come on... get up!" Kaminari thought as he struggled to get back up with a broken sword in his hand. "Don't pay mind to the broken sword, you can still use Sun Breathing with it. Just make sure you don't lose anyone again! Or else..."

Kaminari thought about his classmates' faces when they find out Kaminari didn't do anything to save them, to save some of his best friends. He then thought about Shinso and envisioned Shinso's face, the same face he had back when he was worried about his mom but angrier. He couldn't see those faces, he couldn't bear to lose more of his family, he just couldn't.

"I need your blood to live on."

As soon as Kaminari heard that, something in him snapped. He knew what Muzan meant by that, and he wasn't gonna allow that, he can't lose any more close friends and family. He felt his muscles flex and increase density as if he was growing stronger by the millisecond, he felt his eyes shift and his nails grow as if they were claws. He didn't ignore the feeling, in fact, he felt amazing, like he was finally letting loose and was able to use 100% of his power.

Muzan whipped his arm over to the two heroes again, this time with the intention to absorb them. The faces of the two were terrifying, they could see their lives flashing before their eyes. Kirishima jumped in front of Ashido as if he was trying to protect her, but he knew that it was just gonna delay her death. The two closed their eyes, bracing for something to slash through them.

Only for nothing to happen to them.

The two opened their eyes and saw what Muzan's arm actually struck. They saw the arm completely sever Kaminari's forearm, his blood splattering everywhere, and his severed limb tumbling away from the group. Both of the heroes widened their eyes in horror when they saw the sight in front of them. They both felt like throwing up from seeing this happen to their friend and stood there in horror.

"KAMINARI!!!"

Kaminari still stood in front of them, his hero costume shredded at his right sleeve due to his forearm being severed and the white shirt being stained with red from Muzan's previous strike. His head was kept down, his entire face not visible to anyone.

"Kaminari! We gotta go! You can't fight anymore! He's gonna kill you!" Ashido shouted out.

"How unfortunate," Muzan said. "He had the potential to defeat me, and I was honestly having a good time fighting him. But instead, he decided to waste his potential so he can keep worthless connections alive. Humans are pathetic in that way, and that includes him."

"Shut. Up," Kaminari spat out aggressively.

Muzan took a moment to observe Kaminari's movements, only to realize something. "Hold on, the chest wound I made earlier, stopped bleeding, or the wound already healed," he thought. "That's impossible, he's not a demon or a Nomu created by that arrogant bastard. Wait... is it just me or is the wound on his arm starting to close up?"

"Hey... is it just me... or did his arm stop bleeding?" Ashido asked quietly.

Kirishima looked at Kaminari's right arm, seeing the bleeding slow down and stop as if it healed already. "What the hell..."

"You... are not gonna kill anyone I love... ever again..." Kaminari said quietly, but his voice sounded deeper the more he spoke.

Right after Kaminari said that he regenerated his arm in front of his two friends and the Demon King. When his arm regenerated black lightning bolts crawled up both of his arms, turning his nails black. The mark on his hair became darker and bigger, expanding to more than just his bangs. The same black bolt that was on his arm appeared on his chest and neck. They saw a small horn, one similar to Eri's, appear on the top of his head. Unlike Eri's, the horn looked to be tinted gold and has dark cracks along the horn.
