Her words infuriated Muzan even more. "For a woman who only gained a physical form in less than a decade, you had a lot to say for yourself. You should actually thank me for turning your brother into a demon or I wouldn't be seeing you right now."

"Haha!" She bursted out laughing. Holding her stomach, she glared at him and sighed. "I guess that's how people and your demons had believed all this time? I mean, that's what she knows too," she said, pertaining to F/N. "Maybe Akaza becoming the the Upper Moon Three is indeed the key, but..." she grinned deviously. "I am already a demon before he existed in this world. Sadly, I wasn't supposed to be called the Crescent Moon Three, but just a Crescent Moon Demon. Blah," she mocked and acted sick. "Did you know how I hated it so much that the first thing I learned upon waking up is being entitled like one of yours?" She then cleared her throat. " And besides, even if Hakuji didn't turn into a demon, I will always find my way to you, to end your tyranny in this world. With or without the blood of the siblings."

"I would like to see you try," Muzan uttered lowly. His arm which shifted into a whip with sharp ends and edges started attacking the three of them. The three proceeded on dodging those as they kept themselves unharmed and also trying to cut it at the same time.

Tanjiro quickly made his way to get close to him so he could get a close reach in attempt to cut his head, but Muzan was just too strong in sensing his surroundings that he kept swinging his whiplashed-arms around Tanjiro to keep him away. Tanjiro kept on dodging, but when he's a meter away from him, the last reached his right eye and resulted him to lose his eye.

"Tanjiro, get away!"

From the pain of it, Tanjiro dropped down to the ground and stayed their dangerously. Giyuu quickly ran towards his direction and snatched him away before Muzan could land an attack to his vulnerable state. "Don't get in too close! We don't need to cut him!" He scolded loudly. "He's more powerful than an Upper Moon!"

Muzan, who heard what Giyuu had yelled, got an idea of what they are planning. "Trying to buy time until dawn? But the sun can't reach the inside of this castle," Muzan mumbled. "Can only four hashira accomplish such a feat?"

"What?" Yoru whispered.

"After all, the hashira in the striped haori and the girl hashira...both seemed to have died at the hands of my minions," he grinned.

The words rung inside her head and caused her to pant heavily. It can't be... I haven't... I haven't talked to him, yet! Veins appeared out in her body in anger of what's going on. She had made a conclusion that she's not leaving this place without giving Muzan the pain and torture he deservers. She will definitely... definitely....

"KIBUTSUJI!!!" She shouted in fury before dashing to attack.

As her blades danced around Muzan, his sense never falters and kept defending himself from her attacks. He's somewhat surprised that this demon is actually strong for a small body like that.

"F/N, STAY FARTHER AWAY FROM HIM!!!" Giyuu yelled. He wanted to pull her away from there too, but he couldn't try and risk himself. The whiplashes are not easy to dodge especially if you're close to his body. He knew that he'll die in a second if he tried getting close. Giyuu can't afford to lose an eye or a limb now that the remaining hashira aren't united with them yet. "F/N!!!!"
