Hell's Demon Slayers

0-4: A ONE-MACHINE ARMY

"..Has anyone ever noticed that?", Muichiro said to the rest of the Hashira once they descended down, pointing at the Terminal while in the start room.

"Now that you mention it, I didn't even know that was there.", Rengoku said, his hand on his chin. He walked over to it and it automatically activated once he got close enough. It displayed the "tip of the day", which was..

"Shotgun parries:

A point-blank Shotgun shot to the torso right before an enemy attack lands will deal massive damage."

Rengoku pressed the "WEAPONS" tab and it brought up three different kinds of Revolvers; the Piercer variant, the Marksman variant, and the Sharpshooter variant. He also saw that they had 29,500.. "P".

"P? What's that?", Mitsuri asked curiously, looking at the screen. "Is that like Yen?"

"Whatever it is, it seems we can buy some stuff.", Tengen added. He clicked the Marksman and bought it for 7,500 P, as well as the Sharpshooter for 12,500 P. He handed the green one to Shinobu and the red one to Sanemi. With that, he went through the door, revealing a large arena-esque room. Five Strays spawned on a higher elevation while ten Filths ran at them.

Shinobu tossed a coin at a Filth, lightly hitting it in the head. It continued to attack Shinobu until she injected it with poison.

"..What exactly am I supposed to do with this?", Shinobu asked with a disappointed yet confused expression.

"Try shooting the coin.", Obanai suggested, fending off two Filths at once. Shinobu gave it a shot and tossed another coin in a Stray's direction. She shot it with her revolver, and the coin ricocheted directly into the Stray, killing it instantly.

"Oh, I think I could get used to this..", Shinobu said, tossing two coins in the air and shooting them both, redirecting them to multiple nearby enemies.

"Tch, I haven't figured out what's different about mine yet.", Sanemi scoffed, spinning the Sharpshooter in his hand out of anger. However, as he did this, the gun seemed to be almost.. glowing? Noticing this, he shot at a Stray with it, and the gun fired a swift shot that bounced off the walls, piercing the Stray in the head and killing three others in the process.

"Haha! That's what I'm talking about!", Sanemi grinned, amazed at the scene before him. "I like this thing already!"

With the five Strays dead, a familiar face was spawned in the middle of the room; or rather, a Malicious one. The Malicious Face fired a stream of projectiles at Gyomei, who spun his flail, deflecting the red orbs.

"Stone Breathing, Second Form: Upper Smash."

Gyomei threw his flail at the Face, negating every single orb and smashing directly into the Malicious Face. A yellow glow came from its mouth, and it exploded itself, as it fell to the ground, lifeless. Gyomei retracted his flail back to him.

"Well, that was certainly easier than the last time I saw that.. thing.", Obanai said, decapitating the last Filth. Gyomei replied with a gruff "Indeed." The door in front of the arena unlocked, leading them to a checkpoint and a hallway lined with spinning rings. Sanemi walked towards the center, and six Filth suddenly crashed through a window above him, and a Stray summoned at the far end, charging up an energy orb to throw at Sanemi.

"You think you can get the jump on me, bastards?", Sanemi grinned, quickly unsheathing his sword.

"Wind Breathing, Third Form: Clear Storm Wind Tree!"

A whirlwind of slashes surrounded Sanemi's body, slicing apart all Filths that jumped on top of him. It also deflected the Stray's projectile back at itself, killing it instantly. Four more Strays spawned in each corner of the room.

"Water Breathing, Fourth Form: Striking Tide."

Giyu's blade flowed as he took out two on one side. Sanemi took out the other with the Sharpshooter revolver. As they went through the door and reached a checkpoint, they came across a large room, the floor made out of glass panels with a spinning fan at the bottom. Filth, Strays, and Schisms spawned in as Tengen readied his Piercer. He shot a panel, causing several Filths to fall and get shredded.

Tengen sighed. "Ah, haven't done that in a while!"

"Mist Breathing, Fourth Form: Shifting Flow Slash."

Muichiro crouched down before suddenly disappearing. It reappeared in front of a Schism and sliced it in half. His momentum sent him flying toward another Schism.

"Mist Breathing, Second Form: Eight-Layered Mist.."

Muichiro struck the Schism eight times with his blade, its lifeless body falling to the ground. He looked over to see Rengoku taking care of the Strays. Finally, four Filth spawned near the exit, and ten others dropped from the ceiling.

Sanemi spun his Sharpshooter and fired, but his bullet accidentally hit one of Shinobu's tossed coins. The bullet ricocheted into every single Filth while still having the bouncing capability of the Sharpshooter. The red door in front of them opened, and the bullet fizzled out.

"Huh. Well, that works too, I guess.", Sanemi said, blowing on the end of his Sharpshooter. He was the first to walk through the door and descend downwards.
