As the five Ice Crystal Dolls Doma had summoned appeared, they began to move. With sweeps of their fans, icy Blood Demon Arts hurtled toward Ye Chen, Tanjiro, and the others.
Tanjiro and the others could only dodge the Blood Demon Arts desperately, but the mist still affected them.
"Damn it! This icy mist is dangerous! Even a little can freeze your lungs if you breathe it in, making it much harder to breathe!" Tanjiro scrambled out of the way of the icy attacks, but accidentally inhaled some of the mist, leaving him struggling for breath.
"Oh my, oh my, aren't you going to attack? If you don't, all you can do is take a beating~"
Doma still watched them from ahead with a smile. Before him, the five Ice Crystal Dolls kept waving their fans, unleashing icy Blood Demon Arts at everyone on the battlefield. "Or... are you planning to run away just like this~?"

BOOM!!
Blue-white flames blasted
