Help me!

Bottom of the Infinity Castle.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!...

Kanae wielded her Nichirin Blade in both hands, constantly swinging it in front of her to defend against Muzan's attacks.

Despite having already made himself deaf and even prepared to sacrifice himself, injecting the drug into Muzan's body was still an extremely difficult task.

Putting everything else aside, the overwhelming attack that was suffocating the three of them was enough to make them feel waves of despair.

Whoosh!

The blood whip lashed out again.

Kanae pushed off with her feet, leaping onto the ground, and her Nichirin Blade attacked Muzan once more.

"Flower Breathing - Sixth Form: Whirling Peach!"

The Nichirin Blade traced a spiral path in mid-air, and pink petals fluttered down wherever the blade passed.

As expected, there were two more clangs, and Muzan blocked the attack once again.

Then, the endless stream of blood whips lashed out at the group once more.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!...

Time passed by, bit by bit.

Each time the Nichirin Blade clashed with Muzan's attack, it generated a considerable amount of recoil force.

This force has also left Kanae's arms completely numb.

Clang! Clang!

Two more cuts.

The Nichirin Blade Nichirin Blade nearly slipped from Kanae's grasp; Kanae held on tightly with both hands to prevent it from being knocked away.

Despite this, her hands, which were gripping the Nichirin Blade, were still whipped upwards by the blood whip, causing her to momentarily lose control.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The blood whip rapidly magnified in his Wisteria- colored pupils.

"Love Breathing - Second Form - Love Pangs!"

Clang! Clang!

A pink blade flashed past Kanae, deflecting the blood whip aimed at Kanae.

Mitsuri quickly arrived and then gestured for a temporary retreat and rest.

Without hesitation, Kanae and Uzui quickly retreated.

Kanae's arms are now completely numb, Tengen Uzui's arms are also quite numb; they definitely need a good rest.

However, Muzan clearly wouldn't give them that much time. He pushed off with his foot and quickly chased after them.

"Stone Breathing, Fifth Form: Arcs of Justice!"

Gyomei swiftly leaped into the air, his meteor hammer and broad axe slamming Muzan towards Muzan.

Even so, it only slightly delayed Muzan's arrival; Muzan continued his frantic approach towards them.

Kanae and Uzui took this opportunity to quickly stretch their arms.

At the same time, Kanae looked at Mitsuri and said:

"Mitsuri, you guys create an opportunity for me later, I'll inject the human-transforming drug into Muzan's body!"

"Okay! Leave it to me!" Mitsuri nodded repeatedly.

Kanae smiled gently at Mitsuri, not hearing what the other said, and instead looked at the red stains on Mitsuri's clothes, asking with concern:

"You were just sent flying by Muzan, are you alright?"

"Yes, it's just a minor injury, I coughed up some blood, nothing serious!" Mitsuri replied with a smile.

Seeing Mitsuri smiling, Kanae knew that Mitsuri was alright, so she smiled gently at Mitsuri.

Mitsuri looked at Kanae with some oddness; she had a feeling that Kanae seemed a little strange.

Tengen Uzui, standing to the side, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

In the short time it took to say a few words, Muzan's attack broke through Gyomei's defenses again and launched an attack.

Although the numbness in their arms had only lessened slightly, the group had no choice but to go forward again.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!...

The blood whip lashed out rapidly and incessantly around Muzan's body.

One afterimage after another appeared around Muzan, and dark red light gradually Muzan him.

Not enough! Still not enough!!

Kanae stared wide-eyed at Muzan, who was only a few meters Muzan.

Even with Mitsuri joining the battle, it only alleviated their pressure, but...

They were still being Muzan by Muzan!

The dozen or so blood whips surrounding Muzan Muzan enveloped him, leaving them no chance to break through.

A heavy pressure weighed on Kanae. Kanae bit her lower lip tightly, her gaze Muzan.

Teiichi, help me!!!

Suddenly, Muzan's previously fluid movements paused slightly.

Why is there suddenly a ghost outside?

The sensations he felt kept telling him that the ghost was no ordinary creature.

Muzan switched to the demon's perspective, wanting to see what was going on with it.

However, as soon as the perspective shifted, he realized something was wrong.

I'm currently engaged in a battle; anything else can wait!

Thinking of this, he was about to switch the perspective back, but the next second, the scene that had been switched made him freeze in place.

A man wearing a white kimono with blue patterns was standing in front of the ghost. Further away, a white-haired woman opened a door and looked at them with a panicked expression.

The woman opened her mouth, as if she were shouting something.

Muzan probed the demon's senses and quickly learned what the woman was shouting.

"Kagaya!"

Based on their conversation, Muzan quickly understood what was going on.

Is this Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the current leader of the Demon Slayer Corps?

On the battlefield.

Kanae noticed that Muzan's movements were not as agile as before, and although she didn't know why, she quickly called out.

"Hurry! Now!!"

Those who received the instruction quickly took a deep breath.

"Sound Breathing - First Form - Boom!"

"Love Breathing - Fifth Form - Swaying Love, Wildclaw!"

"Stone Breathing, First Form: Serpentinite Bipolar!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!...

Several attacks forcefully blasted away the blood whips surrounding Muzan.

Kanae, Mitsuri, and Uzui ran Muzan towards Muzan.

3 meters!

The simultaneous attack and the three rushing towards him Muzan.

Before he could even think about why Kato Teiichi had suddenly turned a person into a demon, he immediately made the mouth on his body open even wider!

"Roar--!"

Invisible sound waves spread outwards.

Boom! Boom!

Gunpowder exploded.

Tengen Uzui clashed his twin swords together.

"Sound Breathing - Third Form - Sound of No Echo!"

Buzz!

Invisible sound waves collide and cancel each other out.

2 meters!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

More than ten blood whips lashed out at the three of them.

Mitsuri and Uzui stood on either side of Kanae, blocking her way.

"Sound Breathing..."

"Love Breathing..."

Clang! Clang! Sizzle! Clang! Clang! Clang! Sizzle!...

The Nichirin Blade and the blood whip clashed wildly.

Unable to withstand the blood whip, Mitsuri and Uzui used their own bodies to block it, determined not to let the blood whip affect Kanae.

Kanae continued running forward.

1 meter!

The distance is too close; at this distance, Uzui's sound waves haven't even reached us yet.

Without the protection of the Uzui Sound Wave, Kanae instantly felt a throbbing pain in her head, and her vision blurred.

but...

This is something everyone fought hard for!
