Rumble-
As the Infinity Castle rose, the tremendous force pinned master and student to the floor.
Haruto barely managed to brace himself, silently praying that Muzan would not revive so soon.
At the new Headquarters site, Kagaya sat at a table with a huge map spread out before him.
A talisman from Yushiro was stuck to his forehead, sharing the sight of the Kasugai Crows inside the Infinity Castle. His expression remained perfectly calm.
Kiriya Ubuyashiki, who was helping beside him, was already sweating profusely with nerves. He turned to Kagaya and said, "Father! Aside from Nakime, who is under Yushiro's control, all the Upper Ranks have been eliminated!"
"What are our casualties?"
Kagaya stared at the map on the table, his mind racing.
"There have been minor casualties among the ordinary Swordsmen. Mr. Haruto is the only Hashira-level Swordsman injured. The other Hashira are searching for Muzan!"
Kagaya paused. "Haruto... as long as he's alive..."
He tapped his head with a finger and calmly issued instructions to the Kasugai Crows.
"Tell that boy Haruto to get his wounds treated immediately!
The ordinary Swordsmen are to clear out the demons remaining in the Infinity Castle. Do not venture deep inside!
Tell all the Hashira to push into the Infinity Castle while ensuring their own safety! Muzan hasn't fully neutralized the poison yet! Find him!"
Yushiro had already begun the plan to haul the Infinity Castle out of the ground. At its current rate of ascent, he would successfully bring it into an open wilderness in another minute!
There would be nothing to provide cover there. Once the sun rose, every demon in the castle would die!
Including Muzan!
Boom!
After a bout of earth-shaking tremors, the enormous castle burst out of the ground, displacing the dilapidated shrine above it
