Chapter 32

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGGH!! ZENITSU!! KANAO!! I WANNA TURN MY BLADE RED TOO!! IT ISNT EASY!! FIRST YOU NEED TO BE AS STRONG AS ME!! MWAHAHAHAHAAHHA"

"Wind Breathing.. Seventh Form: Gale Sudden Gusts!"

"If i examine Muzans body in the transparent world.. i may learn something advantageous for battle. Listen closely to the echoes.. just like before.. !! HE has multiple brains and hearts!! He's unbelievable!! His internal organs are complicated.. but he can make more than one body should have!! This is why.. he wont die if we cut off his head! And his brains and hearts move! They don't have fixed locations which makes it difficult to strike them.. Wait!! If others could sense inside of him like I can.. and if we could attack all 12 places simultaneously.." 

"LOOK CLOSELY! DOES YOUR VISION CHANGE? THE REST OF YOU CAN TRY TOO? DOES HE LOOK TRANSPARENT?" Gyoemi shouted.

"What Is this? Did I just see through him?" 

SKRASH!!

A horrifying collision attack from Muzan sent the hashiras flying away. Gyomei was thrown against a building, Obanai was lodged in between bricks on the second level, Zenitsu and Inosuke were plummeted into the ground.. Kanao was left in front of Muzan, it was as if she had scurvy, her knees felt weak. 

"HINOGAMI KAGURA BENEFICENT RADIANCE!"

"Tanjiro.. Tanjiro...." She whimpered.

"Yes.. Sorry I'm late.. You take care of her thank you."

"You look.. positively awful Tanjiro Kamado.."

"Lets finish this Muzan.."

.................

"I am indebted to you, yoriichi. Thank you for helping my ancestors.. If it were not for you, we would never have been born. You believed in Tamayo and let her escape and now she has helped us back Muzan into a corner. I can fight with Sun Breathing that you showed them. You showed me 12 forms.. I've been thinking about the 13th form and noticed something about the names.. Dance and flame dance have similar names. And my father once said, 'if you learn how to breathe properly Tanjiro, you'll be able to dance forever too!' He always danced to Hinokami Kagura until dawn. furthurmore.. i realized something when I saw Muzans current form. I will weave through his attacks and continue striking his brains and hearts till dawn. Its a tremendous task.. that's sure to put me through torture... I don't have Yoriichis skills.. i don't even know if I'm going to survive to dawn. So.. can I do what Yoriichi couldn't? Nevertheless, I will do everything I can. I will not lose. I will not break."

He tightened his grip on his blade and weaved his way through Muzans obstacles before aiming for his abdomen, the move was familiar. To Muzan, Tanjiros hair became longer and his eyes became more sharper. 

"A GHOST!" Who knew that Yoriichi had left such a big scar on Muzan that he had started hallucinating him..

Sun Breathing.. Dance!.. Raging sun.. Fire Wheel!"

"His blade turned red.. Which means he opened the door on the brink of death.. The hashiras also turned their blades red in various ways.. However... Its not enough.. you will never.. be his equal.. His red blade and sword swings were much more formidable."

"Dragon sun halo head dance! Fire Wheel!"

"Concentrate Tanjiro! Dont think about anything but this very second! Just connect one second to the next over and over until dawn breaks!"

"His techniques are losing accuracy.. and his red blade will soon revert to normal. Yet another warrior presents little challenge.. Thus he will never produce the technique.. that he used..."

"TANJIRO! WHATS WRONG? WHY ARE YOUR ATTACKS BECOMING WEAKER AND WEAKER HUH?" Muzan eyes were full of malicious intend and it made him feel good seeing him struggle.

"What in the world.. His movement lacks vitality.. He's slow.. Whats wrong? Movement exhausted human beings and weighs on them like shackles.. So why can I not finish off one exhausted and wounded human? It must be.. because I am slowing down too.. Otherwise a one on one fight would never have lasted this long. I must no fail a second time to kill him.. Dammit.. That woman must have done this.. I ingested Tamayos cells so I'll make her tell me" 

"What did you do? The drug you used on me.. wasn't it for making demons human again?" He asked.. 

"The drugs I used on you.. does indeed do that.. But I wont tell you what else it does.. use all those brains of yours to figure it out for yourself!"  Tamayo left a smirk before her Muzan crushed her voice.

"She's useless.. I will read the memory remaining in her cells."

........

He sees a purple hair girl with a butterfly hairclip, standing behind her is a boy with light green hair that fades to black.. 

"That girl.. she is the human that used poison.."

"Lets mix two poisons.. on the assumption he can withstand one. The first one makes demons human again.. but if that doesn't work.. lets also include something that will have an even greater effect when left over.. For the second one, an aging potion would be perfect. And this one that you made will age Muzan 50 years in one minute..."

...................

"AGING!I see.. Im aging!! MY body has been diverting strength to fight aging.. Thats why I'm struggling against this stupid kamado! How many hours ago did she give me the drug? Four hours.. no, almost give.. If I subtract the time it took to start working.. it has been active for over three hours.. In other words.. I've aged 9 000 years!!" 

"F*CK!" He yelled out of realisation.

"KAWWWWW KAWWWWWWW 59 MINUTES UNITL DAWN!!"

"WHAT WRONG MUZAN?" Tanjiro mocked his priceless reaction.

"Sun Breathing.. Solar Heat Haze! Beneficent Radiance! Clear blue sky! Fire wheel! Raging sun! Flame dance! Fake rainbow dance! Setting sun transformation! burning bones, summer sun! Dragon sun halo head dance! Sun flower thrust!"

"I connected all 12 forms!! Now faster! And more accurately! Repeat this cycle of 12 until dawn!!"
