Breathless - A Kimetsu No Yaiba Story

Strength

Me and Akaza both gauge each other, waiting for the other to attack.

I go first and use the second form of the breath of heat : heat wave, but this time he know better than to block it.

Using his "war style", Akaza punch the air, sending a shockwave towards me.

The water breathing style is really convenient when you need mobility.

Using the ninth form of the breath of water : water splash, I dodge Akaza's attack, leaving water in my footsteps.

Being a natural born breath user, I can do things like using two different breaths in two different part of my body at the same time.

My legs are using the breath of water, and my arms are using the breath of heat, with this combo of mobility and offense, I rush towards Akaza.

"Technique deployment, compass needle."

A compass appeared under him. I know from Doma that it's used to detect incoming attack.

"Destructive kill." He gave up the defense.

Akaza's punch was coming towards me really fast, he didn't care about losing his arm anymore. After all it wouldn't matter if I'm dead.

Breath of the serpent, second form : Venom fangs of the narrow head.

With this technique, I dodge his punch by contorstioning like a snake, and I go behind him, my blade going after his neck while I pass him.

He moves his head quickly enough not to die, but I left a wound on the side of his neck.

"Leg style, Cap tip slice."

A reverse rising axe kick come towards me. I protect myself with my left arms, but the kick was more powerful than I anticipated, my arm got torn apart.

I jump back, distancing myself from him.

His arm finally grew back.

"Not bad, not bad ! I never fought a demon Slayer that could use multiples breathing style at the same time ! What's your name again ?"

A silence follow his question. I couldn't answer even if I wanted to, I'm holding my breath.

"Oh right. Your lungs. I forgot. Well, it'll be easier to kill you if I know where to aim !"

He jump at me, throwing a punch towards my chest. He's using the obliteration style to pierce my lungs.

Breath of mist, sixth form : moonlit mist. I jump on the air and throw slashes downward on Akaza.

Because of the momentum of his jump, he can't dodge, but he put his arms over his neck, saving himself from death.

I use the blood flowing from my missing arm to create a blood arm with my blood demon art.

I make that new arm grow, I grab Akaza who's still midair with it and I throw myself at him.

Breath of mist, sixth form modified with blood demon art : moonlit red mist. I throw slashes downward at him again, but this time with more momentum.

He spin in the air, and kick my head off my shoulders. Having lost my eyes, I slash at him but cut him in half at the waist, instead of the neck.

We distance each other again, and after a second, my head, my arm and the lower part of his body grow back.

I don't leave him enough time to reactivate his compass.

Breath of fire, first style : sea of fire. I charge at him as fast as I can, my white katana speeding towards his neck.
