Yellow Sand Flooding into Infinity Castle!

Infinity Castle, Muzan Kibutsuji and Steve Guts have been locked in fierce combat for two full days.

Nevertheless, neither side's speed, strength, or concentration was affected in the slightest, leaving behind only ruins in their wake.

They were like a pair of shooting stars, sometimes separating, sometimes chasing, sometimes colliding, and then passing each other by. The battle had reached a fever pitch.

"Blood Demon Art: Black Blood Thorn!"

Muzan, Muzan suddenly raised his blood-stained right arm toward Guts, Setsuna, dozens of black thorns with sharp spikes transformed into a terrifying net that enveloped him.

Upon seeing this, the latter snorted coldly, without mentioning any moves, and raised his right arm, which was covered with a layer of black armor, as if Imitation Magic.

Instantly, a large number of black threads shot out, quickly Hardening into sharp needles along the way, clashing head-on with the black thorns in the air, bursting forth with countless flickering sparks and tinkling sounds.

"Damn it, this is so annoying!"

Seeing this, Muzan grew increasingly impatient. He hadn't expected that he would actually find it difficult to deal with these so-called Kabaneri.

Especially after playing for so long, how come this bastard doesn't look tired at all?

Only those within the group know their own situation; Captain Guts's true condition is not optimistic. In terms of physical strength, he can still last about half a day to a day.

The key issue is that his Haki is almost exhausted.

Muzan Kibutsuji's attack speed and frequency far exceeded his expectations. His nineteen Spiked Whip maintained a continuous attack at supersonic speeds, as if he had no concept of fatigue or stamina.

This forced Captain Guts to constantly use Observation Haki and Armament Haki, which took a toll on his mental strength.

The biggest problem is

"Although I don't know how much longer you can hold out, you don't seem to have any means to kill me, including those energy blasts. You're destined to die in the end; it's just a matter of time!"

While maintaining his high-speed combat, Muzan Kibutsuji coldly tried to disrupt Captain Guts's composure, all the while attempting to probe his opponent's situation.

After all, this was his first time fighting against Kabaneri.

In response to this...

Captain Guts didn't reply, his face expressionless as he faced Muzan's Muzan onslaught. All he could do now was stall for time.

If they don't hold out until their own reinforcements arrive, they'll simply die.

Having received professional training since childhood, CIPHER POL was mentally prepared to die in a mission. It was just a pity that he was not married and had no children.

That's fine.

If they do have children, they'll probably have to be taken to Guanhao Island for training, which would be quite painful for them too.

[Bang bang bang bang.]

Amidst the seemingly endless sounds of fierce fighting, time ticked by, and Infinity Castle suffered its first major destruction in hundreds of years.

For these, the remaining eleven members of the 'Twelve Kizuki' could only wait quietly while the captured Horobi were being escorted away.

In any case, the one who will ultimately win is Muzan!

At the same time.

Tokyo Hachioji City, located about 40 kilometers west of Tokyo, had received the highest level of Black Alert in advance. At this time, there was not a single person to be seen in the streets and alleys of the city. Only some stray dogs were still running around, enjoying the rare opportunity to become the masters of the city.

However, the officials and scholars from the Tokyo Meteorological Agency were very dedicated and came to a three-story concrete building on the westernmost edge of the city.

They were gazing at Mount Takao in the distance, a lush and beautiful green mountain covered with vegetation.

Unfortunately, at a height of less than 600 meters, it was impossible to expect it to block Dust that were at least 1,000 meters high. These people just wanted to see with their own eyes what such a strange Super Sandstorm was like.

For this reason.

They also temporarily modified the doors and windows of the small building, replacing the doors with heavier iron doors and installing five panes of Hari in the windows. The building was also stocked with a lot of fresh water and food.

"They've arrived! Shukaku!"

Suddenly, a meteorologist raised his finger and shouted.

It turns out that, following the custom of giving typhoons code names, they also named 'Crocodile' 'Shukaku', since in Japan mythology, it seems that only Shukaku is associated with the desert.

Following his fingertip, sure enough, a vast expanse of yellow sand surged into the sky above Mount Takao, engulfing the layers of greenery like a tsunami.

[Whoosh whoosh whoosh--]

In the blink of an eye, the western part of Hachioji City was completely covered, and that small cement building had long since disappeared into the sandstorm.

Looking down from a higher perspective.

You can see the entire city gradually turning yellow from west to east at a visible speed, a truly breathtaking scene.

Ten minutes later, Hachioji City was completely overrun. But a strange thing happened: the Dust didn't seem to be moving forward. Instead, they enveloped the city, which was being ravaged and screaming in pain, and swirled into Tatsumaki shape.

For the people here, it felt like the end of the world.

In the midst of a sandstorm that blots out the sky, the air is filled with choking sand and dim light, and with the Tornado wind, everything is plunged into Chaos.

Yet, even in such an extremely harsh environment, as the dense yellow sand gathered, it formed a tall, human-shaped figure.

Aside from his black overcoat flapping in the wind, he seemed unaffected by the sandstorm.

"Hmm, this seems to be the place."

Crocodile looked at the two Vivre Cards in his palm, which were no longer moving, but the edge of one of them was gradually burning and turning black.

He put away the two pieces of paper, then leisurely lit a cigar for himself, before squinting and surveying the street and buildings below.

"Underground, is that so? In that case..."

The next moment, his arm turned into flowing yellow sand again, then rapidly expanded, each grain of sand vibrating at high speed, and soon a buzzing sound rang in his ears.

Whether you survive or not depends entirely on luck!

"Desert Spada ----"

Crocodile, cigar in mouth, unleashed his signature move while forcefully swinging his right arm towards the city below.

[Boom!!!]

The incredibly sharp and nearly three-meter-long Sand Blade grew even larger the Setsuna it left the hand.

It tore through the sandstorms and Tornado in its path, causing the air in its wake to become thick and distorted, eventually bursting violently under such pressure.

The moment it hit the ground, it instantly carved a terrible scar hundreds of meters long and more than ten meters deep into Hachioji City's body.

As for what happens to the houses or people it covers, who cares?

"I saw it."

At that moment, Crocodile's gaze was fixed on a glimmer of Huoguang within the 'cutout'. The brightly lit Infinity Castle stood out starkly against the dark underground environment.

[Splashing sound--]

The next moment, he once again turned into a cloud of yellow sand and disappeared into the sandstorm.

Infinity Castle.

Muzan Kibutsuji and Captain Guts, who was in a rather disheveled state, had stopped fighting due to the sudden and violent tremors; the 'city' seemed to have been hit by an earthquake.

"What's going on?!"

The former frowned, looking displeased at Nakime on her face. However, he did not notice that Guts, who was covered in cold sweat and clutching his bleeding severed arm, had a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Muzan, there's Dust outside, and... and the ground where we are has cracked open."

Nakime, sensing the situation Infinity Castle, began to explain haltingly, but her words failed to comprehensible to Muzan, Kokushibo, and the others.

What does the Dust on the surface have to do with the Infinity Castle underground?

Also, what does it mean if it cracks?

[Click----]

Just then, a strange cracking sound suddenly rang out overhead. Everyone looked up in unison and were shocked to see that the roof of the Infinity Castle was covered with dense cracks.

Then, strands of yellow sand began to fall, and as the cracks grew larger and more numerous, more and more sand poured in, as if the area above the Infinity Castle were a desert.
