One-Sword Asura x Atomic Fusion Slash
A single strike can be an ordinary strike, or it can be... a strike that brings death!
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, faced the Sun-Earring Boy from afar. His old eyes narrowed slightly, gleaming with a sharp light, as if he wanted to see through Roy inside and out.
The dozens of blows they exchanged just now happened in the blink of an eye.
However, the direct impact on Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni took a full ten years.
These ten years were not the Sun-Earring Boy's ten years, but his ten years... It was the Sword Path experience he had painstakingly accumulated over ten years of fighting, which the Sun-Earring Boy compressed into a single blink of an eye and absorbed completely.
This unbelievable rate of progress... this terrifying talent that gradually caught up with his attack rhythm... is far beyond what that reckless Kenpachi, who just likes to spar with others all the time, can match.
"Soon..."
"Just one more strike, only one more!" With [Eclipse] in hand, Roy quickly healed his wounds using [Rebirth from a Drop of Blood], took a deep breath, switched from one hand to two, blade downwards, and executed a quick Iai, moving like an arrow of light. Using the Moonlight as a springboard, he charged at Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni once more, and then...
It was the Sun-Earring Boy's low, resonant shout, like the morning bell and evening drum. "Slay!"
The Sword Path that combines the thirteen techniques of [True Meaning of Scorching Heat], [Magnetic Force], and [Sun Breathing] is now displayed in its full glory.
A faint streak of fiery red hair emerged from behind Roy.
He was born with Demon Slayer Mark, possessed innate clarity, and was a born Sword Path. Now, he has departed for the underworld, entrusting his Sword Path to his descendants.
As Roy's fighting spirit surged and reached its peak, he and the Sun-Earring Boy slowly grasped the [Eclipse] sword. With a simple Iai Iaijutsu, he drew the sword and slashed upwards, aiming straight for Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's chest.
The old man paused slightly, then squinted and said, "This is your former Sword Path teacher?"
The man is gone, leaving only his legacy... Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni keenly sensed the lingering aura of a Undead on Roy. He calmly wielded his Ryujin Jakka -breaking" move, a diagonal deflection...
The overwhelming spiritual pressure, carrying unparalleled sword force, instantly deflected the attack, which carried the lingering essence of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's swordsmanship, from the side... Even Roy could no longer hold onto [Eclipse], which slipped from his hand, leaving a spray of blood...
"Pfft~" The tiger's mouth split open, revealing the bones of the right hand.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, his face pressed against Roy's, freed his left hand and clenched it into a fist, striking Roy squarely in the lower abdomen. [Ikkotsu]! The brutal [Hakuda] who once shattered Wonderweiss with a single punch makes his appearance again.
Roy felt as if he'd been struck head-on by a mountain; his ribs snapped with a crack, and he was sent flying in the blink of an eye... He crashed through countless clouds and winds along the way, before finally slamming into the ground, carving a furrow nearly a kilometer long before finally regaining his footing against a rock. "Like I said,"
"Your swordsmanship is good, but your Reiatsu is too weak."
Youyou breeze arose, scattering the dust that had been stirred up.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni flashed forward, using [Shunpo] to arrive, landing gracefully on the Moonlight. His feet touched the ground, one hand clenched into a fist, the other holding a sword, his face expressionless as he stared ahead.
On a cracked rock, a Sun-Earring Boy is embedded in a V-shape, his chest visibly sunken in. If... he still has the sound of breathing and heartbeat, others might mistake him for a specimen or amber, having long since lost his life.
"Is it over... Is it finally going to end?"
The Moonlight shone through the sky; without the "fire" and the "sun," it seemed only then dared to reveal itself, releasing its Moonlight and proclaiming... that this place was still the night ruled by the moon.
In the Demon Slayer world, from south to north, from west to east, those prostrating themselves on the ground silently chanting prayers, and those staring blankly at the sky, all breathed a sigh of relief as if it had been rehearsed beforehand. So many unbelievable things had happened tonight, so many that they had shattered the worldviews of countless people. Even the Demon Slayer Corps Hashira, who vaguely knew some of the inside story, including Giyu Tomioka, Himejima Gyomei, Rengoku Kyojuro, were constantly on edge. And what about... the ordinary people of this world who had never learned the "Breathing Style" and whose Aura Nodes had never been opened? "Is it over?" This was Ubuyashiki Kagaya asking Rengoku Kyojuro.
"Is it over?" Sun asked Seito.
"Is it over?" This was the murmur of a blind monk beside an ancient temple on the western outskirts of Kyoto... On this unforgettable night, amidst the darkness that had driven him away several times, numerous questions, accompanied by even more [Power of Faith], crossed rivers and mountains, traversed grasslands, lingered in the human world, and quietly surged toward Roy.
A faint cough came from the cracked rock.
The Sun-Earring Boy, instantly stunned by the immense force of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's punch, slowly awoke, spitting out a piece of internal organs as he regained his senses.
His body felt like it was falling apart; every part ached... causing him to furrow his brow and his lips to twitch uncontrollably. "It's a pity," he thought, "[Rebirth from a Drop of Blood] can only heal injuries, not alleviate pain."
"Unbelievable! In the original story, Muzan chose to self-destruct into over a thousand pieces when facing Tsugikuni Yoriichi. How cowardly must he have been!" A series of unhurried, measured footsteps drifted gently on the breeze from the other side of the ravine... Feeling the intense pressure and the Zanpakuto in the other's hand, Zanpakuto boundless heat, Roy Youyou to pull himself out of the rocks, then collapsed to the ground with a thud, struggling to lift his head... A thousand meters away, the old man, clad in a white haori over a black Shihakusho, appeared in front of Roy in a single step, looking down at him and asking, "Anything else?"
A rare glint of admiration appeared in Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni Shigekuni's weathered eyes, etched with the marks of time. With a flick of his wrist, he thrust the Ryujin Jakka straight into front of him, just as... an elderly man leaning on his cane, quietly watching Roy.
Roy's long, fiery red hair swayed in the wind, strands catching dust that fell in a rustling sound. A forced smile played on his lips as he said, "Of course." Just then, a notification sound rang out... [Notification: "Swordsmanship" +100]
[Current "Swordsmanship": LV4 (99940/100,000) → LV5 (40/1,000,000)]
The Sun-Earring Boy's lips curled upwards, the shallow arc growing wider and wider. At a moment, the smile froze, and he stiffened. As the sun, which had suddenly ignited in his pupils, slowly rotated, his consciousness soared upwards with the gentle breeze.
Flying past Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni in one second,
Leaping over the mountains and forests in two seconds
Three seconds to fly past the moon... four seconds to leave the atmosphere and enter the endless depths, drawn by a mysterious Scorching Heat and light, flying towards the depths of the nebula. In a hazy state, after an unknown amount of time, I finally saw the sun, enveloped by the nebula, surrounded by countless star rings, radiating light and heat freely into the universe!
"To learn and practice, first observe your own heart... A person who doesn't even know what they want in their own heart cannot develop Nen Ability and become a ' Nen user.'"
The earnest teachings of my father, Silva, from years past, came to mind.
Roy opened his eyes, staring blankly at the enormous Photosphere surrounded by several planets before him.
Through its surface, I saw Solar Flare, Sunspot, and felt the Solar Wind... Then I penetrated the Photosphere and ventured deeper into the sun. For the first time in my life, I observed the sun up close!
So why is upgrading "Swordsmanship" related to the [sun]?
Yes... "Because my heart is my sword, just as there are countless kinds of swords: the gentle sword, the sword of slaughter, the sword of loyalty, the sword of justice... and I,"
The Sun-Earring Boy shed his role as Kamado Eiichiro, reverting to his original appearance. His beautiful silver hair flowed freely as he opened his arms to embrace the sun. Subtly, the ends of his hair, touched by the Solar Wind, seemed to be coated with a dazzling layer of gold!
"It is the sun, the sword of the sun, the sword that illuminates the world and gives life to all things... but it is also a terrifyingly powerful sword that explodes with unrestrained energy!"
As they drew closer, the particle streams darted and collided, instantly engulfing Roy.
In that instant, countless fusion processes erupted within him, unfolding and repeating within him, leaving an indelible mark... one he could never forget for all eternity!
[Hint: The host has entered the core of the sun, observed its phenomena, and is beginning to condense his sword intent domain...]
[Hint: Sword Intent Domain Completed]
[Created Swordsmanship in progress...]
[Hint: Custom Swordsmanship generated...]
[[Atomic Fusion Slash]: Simulates the fusion reaction on the surface of the sun, the slash is enchanted with [Nuclear Fusion], a single strike can trigger a "nuclear explosion", followed by the production of "ultra-high temperature" and "ultra-high pressure" to damage enemies.]
[Note: The "nuclear explosion" yield depends on the host's "Nen" capacity and understanding of "Nen".]
"Buzz~" "Consciousness" and "Body" separated. At the center of the [Sun], Roy melted into the fusion in his original form... In the Demon Slayer world, Roy, in the body of "Kamado Eiichiro," struggled to stand up in a daze, facing Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, and reached out to grab him.
"Call out!"
Eclipse is coming!
Then... Roy suddenly grabbed him with his open palm, and with a flick of his wrist, Chaos gently swung at Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni... That "Fusion Slash," imprinted deep within his consciousness and repeated countless times, was unleashed in an instant!
A straight, thin golden line, carrying boundless light and heat, slowly reflected in the weathered, aged eyes of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.
Immediately, the old man narrowed his eyes, his expression turning more serious than ever before in shock.
Since arriving here through the [Gate of Cognition], this is the first time I've used... [Shikai]!
"Shikai...,"
"All things, nothingness, turns to ashes. Ryujin Jakka!"
Suddenly, a sharp sword cry soared into the sky!
Ryujin Jakka, his Reiatsu unleashed, his white beard swaying wildly. A sword intent many times stronger than before resurged! "Clang! Clang..." The silence had barely lasted long before the Nichirin Sword of Himejima Gyomei Giyu Tomioka, Gyomei Himejima, Rengoku Kyojuro... and all the Pillars and former Pillars, began to tremble and surge with uncontrollable fury once more!
Giyu Tomioka, Himejima Gyomei, Rengoku Kyojuro all changed their expressions at once, and this time they directly unleashed their [Nen Qi], each using all their [Ten] power to suppress the attack!
"My knife!"
"What's going on?! Not again?!"
At Mount Sagiri, Shinsuke Fukuda cried out in alarm, his sword flying from his hand, instantly leaving the two behind and soaring into the sky. Then... came Watanabe, then Shimizu... then a Urokodaki Sakonji of Urokodaki Sakonji's disciples, and countless ordinary people's swords, just as before, summoned by the "King of Swords," "whoosh, whoosh..." flying into the deep twilight...
"Don't chase!"
"The battle is not over!"
A sharp shout from the cemetery abruptly interrupted Shinsuke, Fukuda, and Watanabe Shimizu, who were trying to follow the figure with the sword into the night.
Giyu Tomioka, his hands clasped together, frowned deeply, sensing that this summons was even more intense than the previous two. He took a deep breath and gazed into the distance at the horizon.
As soon as he finished speaking, Seito and Sun struggled to hold down their swords, barely managing to keep them from flying away, using every ounce of their strength!
"Giyu is right, those who are meant to leave can't be kept. Let's wait and see..." The carving knife in his arms was Urokodaki Sakonji. The old man's temples were graying as he reassured everyone, "Calm down."
Looking up again, he and Giyu Tomioka gazed at the distant horizon, murmuring with concern, "Eiichiro..." At the horizon, before that cracked rock...
The Sun-Earring Boy's long, fiery red hair cascaded down his back. His mind was still immersed in the rhythm of the sword intent, his hand rising and falling unconsciously, a single strike conveying his profound understanding. The rocks behind him silently began to melt.
"Buzz~" The golden thread has arrived!
The slash, imbued with the power of fusion, hurtled towards Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and exploded instantly!
The old man's white beard was meticulously braided into a twisted shape, almost dragging on the ground. At that moment, he also drew his sword with a backhand strike!
[Shikai] One [Torch]!
With a whoosh, a fiery tornado shot into the sky, colliding head-on with the explosion!
But listen to one
A deafening roar!
Following,
The earth shook violently!
The tremors could be clearly felt even in Kyoto, in ancient temples, in the Ubuyashiki Clan's residence, and even... in Roy's house, on the nameless mountain where Tanjuro Tanjiro, Kie, and Nezuko now live!
"Boom!" In the middle of the night, Delia was startled by the loud noise and burst into tears.
The elderly grandmother suddenly opened her eyes, reached out and hugged the child tightly, crying out in panic, "Kie, Tanjuro..." Inside the house, Nezuko...
The Kie that sewn clothes by lamplight
Tanjuro, sitting on the wooden veranda drinking tea,
And Tanjiro, Takeo, and Shigeru, who were sleeping like dead pigs in the side room,
Some pricked their fingers with needles, some rolled over and sat up in bed, some put on their clothes without even falling, and some leaned on the pillars to stand up abruptly. They all pushed open the door, scrambled out of the house, and gathered in the moss-covered fenced yard.
Shocked, horrified, and dumbfounded, they stared at the sky!
At this moment, as the earth dragon turned over, a fiery tornado surged up, enveloping a mushroom-shaped cloud, and shot into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky in crimson. Everyone, including the Kamado Family, gaped open, some even collapsing to the ground, groaning and shouting... as if they had lost their souls!
