Fifty-Ninth.

Third Person's POV.

Hanabi's sword is shattered on the ground. She quickly throw it away and hold her other remaining sword with both of her hands and strike towards the demon again. The sword that she asked for her swordsmith to made from the best material that is the same with Himejima's weapons. 'It's okay, now he can't predict my movement!'

Genya take a shot and planted the bullets inside of Kokushibou's flesh. Those bullets are transforming into roots that are trapping him so he can't move.

Himejima came from Kokushibou's side, and Sanemi came from his front while Hanabi is aiming from his rear. They all are ready to land another strike but Kokushibou roared. Both of his arms quickly regenerate and he released slashes that is coming from his body. His blade of sword are coming from his body, and he already hold another sword.

All the Pillars are injured because of the attack and forced to be pushed back except for the Mist Pillar. He keep holding his sword that is attached to the Upper One's body. The worst condition is Genya who is cutted vertically in a half.

After being pushed back, the Pillars don't take any time to rest and already in front of the demon to land an attack again. Kokushibou noticed this and readying his sword to launch another attack. He released another chaotic vortex slashes around him, even without swinging his sword.

Hanabi already see it coming, so she used her sword that is almost unbreakable, to assist her in protecting herself and the Mist Pillar.

She swung her sword to deflect most of the slashes, but Himejima and Sanemi are being force to get pushed aback. She readied her sword again to land an attack at him in close range, but his sword countered with hers. She gritted her teeth hard.

"You should have just stayed back, back then. If you didn't turned my mother into demon, I probably won't become a demon hunter and your struggle here because of me will be none," she smirked while holding his sword with hers. She knows she can cutted his sword in a half, but he made them stronger so she won't be able to break it easily.

"Nature breathing is originally purposed as a defensive form of fight and not meant to take part in the demon hunting. To see that you can survive this far and your strength only increase after your other sword just broken is impressive," Kokushibou said.

She leaped over with the flower petals following her swords. With one swing, she cutted Kokushibou's arms again, along with his sword. "You should have take the the tea offer from Kikyō-san that night, she may solved your life problem," she said before launching another technique.

'Her movement... becoming more precise despite one of her sword just broken...' Kokushibou thought. "I don't have any life problem. I solved one by became a demon." He quickly regrew his arms and countered her attack, forcing her to be pushed back. But Sanemi and Himejima already close to the demon to strike another attack.

Hanabi being pushed back faraway that she has to use her other hand as a brake to stop the wide gap that is getting wider. She saw Kokushibou draw his sword, about to release another attack to her Pillars fellow.

'Another...technique... I have...to do something,' Muichiro thought after seeing Kokushibou's movements. 'Before... I... Die!' he clenched his sword handle even stronger with all of his might, turning the blade of his sword to the shade of red.
