"Takanashi!" Muzan fixed his blood-red, plum-blossom eyes on Haruto and growled, "Do you think you'll survive? Do you think you marked swordsmen will survive?
"In your dreams! You'll die in your prime! At twenty-five, and no one will remember you!

Seeing Muzan pinned to the ground, the swordsmen around him threw themselves forward, wave after wave. Fearless of death, they swung their blades, determined to nail him beneath this sky.

A savage aura erupted around him. The hideous mouths covering his body nearly swallowed the swordsmen whole!

Just as before, a terrifying shock wave burst from within him!
But!
