"So, if you aren't special, then what's going on?" Gyutaro raised an eyebrow, beginning to scratch at his neck.
"Both of my blood sickles are drenched with deadly poison. I'm positive its entered your bloodstream. So why arent you dying? Huh?" He stared between the both of you, a disgusted expression on his face.
"I said I'm a trained shinobi, didn't I? I'm immune to nearly all kinds of poison." Tengen explained, his tone confident.
While this was true, the same couldn't be said for you. You could feel the venom coursing through your veins, burning like fire. Despite your efforts to slow your bloodstream, you knew it wouldn't hold forever, each beat of your heart pushing the poison further into your system.
With a sharp intake of breath, you adjusted your stance. "Sixth form: Mirage." In an instant, your movements became a blur, leaving behind a dizzying array of afterimages that danced and flickered around the room. Gyutaro's eyes widened in confusion as he struggled to track your movements amidst the illusions.
Meanwhile, Tengen reacted swiftly, launching his own barrage of attacks, slashing at Gyutaro with precision while keeping Daki at bay. As the battle intensified, the room filled with the clash of weapons and the explosive force of Tengen's bombs.
Your spear grazed Gyutaro's neck, but he managed to evade at the last moment, deflecting your attack and forcing you to recoil.
Your attention shifted to the wall, sensing the arrival of the other demon slayers. Inosuke, Zenitsu, and Tanjiro rushed into the room, assuming their battle stances with determination writ large on their faces.
Zenitsu swiftly drew his sword, launching into a flurry of lightning-fast movements as he engaged Daki, their battle taking them leaping onto the roof.
"Leave that worm lady to me and Mr. Sleepyhead!" Inosuke's voice echoed through the room as you charged towards Gyutaro. "You focus on taking down the praying mantis-looking guy!"
"I'm not about to let you kill my sister." He spoke out.
You watched as Gyutaro's left eye shut, his grin growing wider. "We have killed off anyone who's ever crossed us, anyone who's ever slighted us. We are going to slash through your gullets, just like we did to all who came before you."
As Gyutaro rushed forward, you grabbed onto Tanjiro, pushing him away before leaping up to slice at Daki's sashes, aiming to create an opening for your allies.
Spinning your spear expertly, your feet landed on the wall, feeling the vibrations coursing through your body. "Fifth form: Meteor Storm."
With a powerful thrust, you launched yourself upward once more. As you ascended, the spinning spear unleashed a barrage of sharp shards of rock and crystal, tearing through the sashes with lethal precision.
You continued your assault on Daki's sashes, each strike skillfully aimed. Meanwhile, Tengen hurled his bombs, their explosive force scattering debris and creating a temporary barrier between your group and the siblings.
Your advantage was short-lived as Gyutaro emerged from the debris, his wide grin sending shivers down your spine. With renewed ferocity, he launched himself at Tengen, his attacks relentless and unforgiving.
You tried your best to shield him from the sashes above. The sharp edges sliced through your flesh, leaving multiple cuts and gashes, but you pushed through the pain, determined to protect your comrade at all costs.
Tengen surged forward, his blades a blur as he spun them. "Sound breathing, Fifth Form: String performance!" The air resonated with the hum of his blades as he carved a path toward Gyutaro.
