Chapter 94: Twin Suns
"CAAWWW!! One hour and three minutes until dawn!!" A crow shouted out from above them.
Sanemi shouted towards Giyu, "Take this!!"
*CLANG*
Giyu reacted just in time, as Sanemi swung his now crimson sword onto him, causing Giyu's sword to also turn crimson as a result.
"More than enough time. We'll shred you into tiny pieces!!!" Sanemi shouted as he and Giyu charged forward towards Muzan with the other Hashira's flanking him.
*BOOM BOOM BOOM* Uzui threw out bombs after bombs towards Muzan, who simply destroyed them before they were able to get close to him.
'Damn, I'm out of my bombs, I need to get in close and personal now.' Uzui thought, jumping down from a rooftop as Muzan cleaved the building he was on in two.
'Breath of Mist, Fifth Form: Sea of Clouds and Haze'
Muichiro charged forward, attacking Muzan with high speed and unleashing a flurry of slashes.
*clang* *BOOM*
Giyu and Gyomei attacked Muzan, but we're getting suppressed by the sheer speed and strength behind his whip-like spikes.
*whoosh*
*CRACK*
Gyomei's flail crashed into Muzan's body, tearing a chunk out of his body but was regenerated back almost instantly. Running forward, Sanemi grabbed a talisman on the ground and stuck it to his head.
"Zenitsu!! Kanao!! I wanna do that red blade thingy too!!" Inosuke complained, as he, Zenitsu, and Kanao were now able to be seen by Sanemi.
Kanao yelled back, "You can't do it that easily!! You need about the same arm strength as…"
'I see now, these talismans. So we can see the people who have them on. Interesting. I'll use whatever I can.' Sanemi thought, grinning.
'Breath of Wind, Seventh Form: Gale: Sudden Gusts'
Sanemi leaped into the air, swinging his blades down towards Muzan, cutting off his spikes at the same time, allowing for the others to push forward.
Muzan's eyes narrowed, as his arm transformed into long and sharp blades, destroying everything around its vicinity.
*BOOM*
The whole ground shook, as Muzan cleaved everything around him into pieces, sending the Hashira's and the others sprawling away, crashing into buildings.
Gyomei crashed into a wall, with his left leg severed. Sanemi was sent into a building. Giyu laid on the ground under a pile of rubble, his arm missing. Obanai was in a pool of his own blood. Uzui had his left arm severed into pieces. Muichiro was under a pile of rubble, coughing out blood.
Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Kanao laid on the ground next to each other, their blades cut in half.
Muzan looked towards the three sprawled on the ground and swung his spikes towards them.
'Breath of Flames, First Form: Unknowing Fire'
Out of nowhere, a streak of fire surged forwards, cutting the spikes apart and standing in front of the three, guarding them.
"Oh. It's another one. Look at the state of you, what do you think you can do?" Muzan said.
The man smiled and said, "Even if I have one arm, I will still protect my juniors. Especially the friends of Hiroto."
"Re...Rengoku…" Kanao muttered, looking at the man with one arm standing in front of them, wielding his sword.
Rengoku continued, "Although I may have one arm, don't underestimate me. My will to fight is as great as anybody here."
*swish*
Muzan swung his arm down towards Rengoku, slicing the surrounding buildings and ground in the process.
'Breath of Flames, Ninth Form: Rengoku'
Rengoku dashed forward, slashing downwards towards Muzan from a high stance with devastating power.
*BOOM*
The ground which Muzan stood on had a deep impression underneath it, however, he still stood as he gripped the sword in Rengoku's hand just before it landed on his neck.
Without wasting any more words, Muzan punched his hand forwards, aimed at Rengoku's heart.
*SWISH* *gush*
An arc of fire cut off the arm of Muzan that was holding Rengoku, as he turned his head to look at the person. A distance away was the familiar back of Tanjiro, next to Rengoku.
Rengoku looked at Tanjiro's face and said, "Tanjiro… what did he do to you…"
"Don't worry. What he did to me, I'll do much worse to him." Tanjiro stood up and turned towards Muzan. "Look after the rest for me."
"Would you look at that?" Muzan said, his arm transforming into a long spike, with more spikes growing out of it. "You look repulsive. Well, well."
On Tanjiro's face, his left eye had a blob of flesh growing out of him, his pupils dilated.
"Who's the Demon now? I have no idea, Kamado Tanjiro." Muzan continued, "... You two really disgust me. You, and your brother."
"Muzan. What did you do to my brother." Tanjiro muttered, his voice sounded emotionless, remembering the moment he woke up and seeing Hiroto's hair having a shade of red and purple, his body convulsing as blood leaked from his eyes and mouth.
"I only gave him an opportunity," Muzan responded. "If he is able to survive the large amounts of my blood inside him, he can become the second strongest Demon, after me."
Tanjiro raised his sword above his head. "You already took my family away from me. Yet, you still keep hurting those I love. Let's put an end to this. Muzan."
Tanjiro charged forward, performing the Dance of the Fire God in quick succession as he dodged and weaved past Muzan's attacking, getting closer.
"A Ghost!!" Muzan growled in fury, moving his arms in a blur.
*shik*
"Gack!" Tanjiro coughed out, as his body was cut in multiple places, just managing to dodge in time. Muzan sent more spikes forward, aiming to pierce Tanjiro through.
'Dance of the Fire God, Fire Wheel'
Tanjiro leaped into the air and behind Muzan, spinning in the air and releasing an attack in a circular motion, cutting through Muzan's shoulder.
*THUMP*
Muzan swiped his arm towards Tanjiro, sending him sprawling into the ground. Tanjiro got back up and was about to charge forward when a figure walked out from an alleyway.
Both Tanjiro and Muzan looked towards the person. Tanjiro's eyes widened, as he muttered out, "Brother…"
Hiroto slowly walked forward. He no longer had his haori, as it had been ripped into shreds. His uniform had multiple cuts in it, but underneath that, his flesh seemed to be in perfect condition.
His eyes had a red and purple hue, matching that of his new hair color. The sword in his arm had the same Crimson Red to it, but streaks of purple ran down along the blade, creating a crisscross pattern. His face and arm still had the same red flame marks on it.
Muzan smiled out and said, "Good. It seems that you have successfully transformed. Now, deal with the rest of these people."
Hiroto didn't reply. He turned his head towards Tanjiro, staying silent for a moment, then speaking, "Tanjiro. Let's finish this."
Tanjiro nodded his head, turning to face Muzan who had a look of disbelief on his face as he frowned.
"You. Didn't you just hear my orders?" Muzan scowled.
"I heard them," Hiroto said, turning towards Muzan. "What of it?"
"Damn you!" Muzan yelled out, trying to forcefully kill Hiroto through his blood, but realized that it wasn't working.
"Whatever Yuchiro stuck into us, it seemed to work," Hiroto spoke, glancing towards Tanjiro.
"Let's do this, brother." Tanjiro glanced back and charged forward, with Hiroto following.
'Dance of the Fire God, Dance, Clear Blue Sky, Raging Sun, Fake Rainbow'
Hiroto and Tanjiro both performed the Dance of the Fire God, using each of its forms from the beginning. They swung their sword down in a high-powered slash, pushing Muzan back.
Tanjiro jumped up into the air, spinning his body vertically, creating a 360-degree slash as Hiroto attacked from beneath him with two horizontal slashes, intercepting and cutting off Muzan's attack.
"Grahhh!!" Muzan cried out, spinning his body and sending a flurry of attacks towards them.
Hiroto and Tanjiro evaded the attacks with high-speed twists and rotations, creating afterimages as each of Muzan's attacks missed and hit the ground.
'Dance of the Fire God, Fire Wheel, Burning Bones - Summer Sun, Sunflower Thrust, Solar Heat Haze'
Hiroto swung his sword in a circular slash, defending him and Tanjiro from Muzan's attack as Tanjiro thrust his sword past Muzan's guard and into his chest.
Hiroto then charged forwards, attacking Muzan with a haze covered slash, causing Muzan to lift his spiky arm to block the attack, but the haze seemed to have phased through his arm and cut off a portion of his face.
Muzan cried out in rage and sent all his attacks at the two.
Tanjiro pulled back and flipped in the air, but getting cut as well as he delivered an upended sword slash in the process, cutting the rest of the spikes, as he and Hiroto got ready for the next round of attacks.
'Hiroto… Tanjiro… You have both grown so strong.' Rengoku thought to himself, as he carried the others to safety and out of the way, although albeit slowly.
"I knew it, the attacks are connected," Tanjiro said towards Hiroto.
Hiroto nodded and said, "If we keep alternating the patterns of the Dance of the Fire God, we can perform the full sequence. At least until we can both perform it on our own."
"You two still aren't on his level!" Muzan yelled out.
'Blood Demon Art, Black Blood: Brambles'
Muzan used his own flesh and blood to create several spiked-barbed wires and sent them forward, trying to entangle Hiroto and Tanjiro.
Hiroto and Tanjiro jumped separate ways, dodging the spikes and cutting them as they got close.
*shik*
The spikes grew in number as they surged towards them. Hiroto turned to Tanjiro and yelled out, "Tanjiro! Keep the spikes at bay, I'll pin Muzan down!"
"Alright!" Tanjiro responded.
'Dance of the Fire God, Dance, Clear Blue Sky, Fake Rainbow'
Tanjiro started the sequence again, using them to clear a path for Hiroto as he charged forwards, stopping Muzan from running away.
*shik*
"Gah!" Hiroto yelled out, as Muzan used his leg spikes to strike at Hiroto's face, leaving a deep gash in it that started to slowly regenerate back.
'Dance of the Fire God, Dance, Clear Blue Sky, Raging Sun, Fake Rainbow, Fire Wheel, Burning Bones - Summer Sun'
Hiroto swung his sword down, cutting apart the legs spikes, then jumping above Muzan's blood art as it was about to snare him. He spun his body and cut them apart, then unleashing two horizontal slashes as he ran forwards, defending himself.
Hiroto jumped in the air, then appeared on the ground to Muzan's left, then reappeared to his right, leaping into the air behind him, slicing at Muzan's back.
'He's gotten slower.' Hiroto thought.
Muzan turned and swung his arm at Hiroto, who performed a circular cut, defending him from the front attacks.
'Dance of the Fire God, Sunflower Thrust, Solar Heat Haze, Setting Sun Transformation, Beneficent Radiance, Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance, Flame Dance'
Hiroto thrust his sword forward at Muzan, who leaped away from the attack. Taking this chance, Hiroto charged forward and released a haze covered slash. Learning from his past mistake, Muzan instead opted to dodge the attack and swung his arm towards Hiroto.
Hiroto flipped into the air and delivered an upended sword slash, as Muzan used his arm to block the attack, getting thrown up as well. Hiroto then spun in the air, delivering a powerful slash aimed towards Muzan's neck.
Muzan tilted his head, causing the sword to graze past his head, cutting off his ear as he kicked his legs towards Hiroto. Hiroto, resembling a dragon, raised his own leg and kicked off Muzan's in a circle, avoiding his attack while slashing at the same time, severing his leg.
Muzan's leg regrew back, as he swung all of his attacks forwards at Hiroto. Hiroto blocked the attacks as he dodged and weaved past them, but getting cut up in the process, bleeding everywhere.
*shik*
A spike tore through Hiroto's shoulder just as he was about to close in on Muzan. Hiroto raised his sword above his head, and swung down, cutting off the spike and then swinging his sword horizontally towards Muzan's body.
Muzan's eyes dilated, as he ducked under the attack and stabbed forwards with his spike-like arms.
*clang*
Hiroto just managed to block the strike with his sword but got thrown away in the process.
