Tanjiro was falling back into the castle until he felt a hand grab his wrist.

Tanjiro: What?

He looks up seeing the Flame, four Water, Ice, Poison, Rain, Eclipse, and Air Hashira.

Tanjiro: Kyojuro! Giyu! Sabito! Makomo! Endou! Doma! Gyutaro! Kirisame! Dark! Sasaki!

Sabito: Surprised to see us alive, Tanjiro?

Tanjiro: Very.

Kyojuro: Where's Hakuji? 

Tanjiro: He threw me in the door so I don't know what his condition is.

Endou: Shall we get going?

The eleven Hashira run through the ever-changing fortress searching for Muzan.

Dark: It was very difficult for us to defeat Akira. It took at least twenty four Hashira to bring the traitor down.

Makomo: And it was even close if not for Kanae's intervention.

Tanjiro: So, she's awake.

He realized.

Doma: Indeed. 

Gyutaro: But she stayed back with Shinobu, Kaoru, and Shinoe to tend with the others. 

Sasaki: They're also spreading out to locating Kibutsuji.

??: THE LAST UPPER RANK IS GONE!!

A crow continues to fly spreading out messages.

Kiriya: No. They're not gonna make it. And Tamayo and her poison are being nullified. Muzan's going to recover.

Kuina: The first division will soon arrive at Muzan's location.

She informed.

Kuina: The second division are right behind them.

Kiriya the realizes the worst outcome.

Kiriya: No! They can't stop them!

Kuina: Huh?

Kiriya: They cannot reach Muzan! Have them remain on standby until the Hashira arrive!

But it was too late. Muzan's cocoon was surrounded by low rank demon slayers.

??: There he is!! It's him!

??: You bastard Muzan!

??: Dammit! My sword's out of reach!

??: Stay calm!

??: Can't anyone jump down?

??: Why don't we just cut off the flesh that' holding his cocoon in the air!? Let's injure him more!

??: Wait! We're receiving orders to stand by from the Oyakata!

?? To hell with just standing by!! The very least we can do is be os use before the Hashira arr-
