In the heart of the labyrinthine Infinity Castle, the demon slayers regrouped, their breaths heavy and their spirits resolute. Yuriko, Tanjiro, and their friends knew that their confrontation with Muzan Kibutsuji was imminent, and they couldn't afford to waste any more time.

Besani, determined to confront the demon lord who had once been her master, suggested that she would go on her own. She felt that her path was a solitary one, marked by her past and the choices she had made. However, Inosuke, with his ever competitive spirit and a growing camaraderie with the former demon, refused to let her face Muzan alone. Annoyed but understanding the sentiment, Besani agreed to have Inosuke accompany her on her quest.

Meanwhile, Yuriko and Tanjiro, guided by their shared purpose, decided to venture forth together. Their bond had grown stronger through the trials they had faced, and they found comfort in each other's presence.

Zenitsu and Nezuko, ever devoted to their friends, embarked on their own journey within the castle's shifting dimensions. Their determination to support Yuriko, Tanjiro, and the others gave them the strength to overcome the disorienting maze.

As the group split up into pairs and headed deeper into the castle, they could still hear the echoes of battle in the distance—the clash of swords, the roars of demons, and the resolute cries of their fellow demon slayers. It was a chaotic symphony, a testament to the relentless struggle against the forces of darkness.

Besani and Inosuke, in their relentless pursuit of Muzan, continued to argue and bicker along the way. Their banter, though occasionally exasperating, became a source of amusement and camaraderie, forging an unexpected bond between them.

Maikeru, having noticed the absence of his friends amidst the tumultuous battle, made a hasty retreat from the front lines. His worry for Yuriko and the others propelled him forward, navigating the castle's labyrinthine corridors in search of their trail.

As the hours passed, the demon slayers continued their quest to find Muzan, determined to confront the demon lord and end his reign of terror once and for all. Each step they took, every argument they had, and every battle they fought brought them closer to their elusive foe. The Infinity Castle's ever shifting dimensions mirrored the uncertainty of their mission, but their resolve remained unwavering.
