Rengoku side

Rengoku POV

It looks like Shinra did a number in this place, despite that, my aim is to get them outside.

Demon slayer (M): "Flame Hashira"

"Hmm?" I hummed in response.

I looked back to see my fellow Demon Slayers running behind me holding one or two of the civilians we managed to rescue with tired and exhausted expressions all on their faces.

Demon Slayer (M): "We left that demon to the Sun Hashira... Will he be all right?"

I could tell that they were worried, they had mixed expressions between worried and exhaustion, but they looked more alive than when I found them in the basement

"Maybe shinra crushing that demon gave them a bit of hope."

*Chuckle* "Don't worry about him he wouldn't have become a Hashira if he couldn't handle a demon of that level"

Demon Slayer (M): "Y-Yeah... But"

"Don't worry we Hashiras are here to lead you to victory, and we'll die trying to earn that. SO! FOLLOW ME AND SET YOUR HEART ABLAZE AND LET'S OVERCOME OBSTACLES TOGETHER!"

Demon Slayers: "YES SIR!"

I could still feel some of them feeling anxious

"REPEAT AFTER ME!"

Everyone including the civilians looked at me

"SET YOUR HEART ABLAZE"

Everyone: "Set your heart ablaze"

"LOUDER! SET YOUR HEART ABLAZE"

Everyone: "SET YOUR HEART ABLAZE"

"HAHAHAHAHA. RIGHT! LET'S MARCH FOWARD!"

Demon Slayers: "Yes sir!"

We reached the hall that leads to the exit, I quickly remembered that there are other injured Slayers outside probably fighting so I readied myself to Await for what's coming

Demon Slayer (F): "There's the door, Flame Hashira we're almost outside."

"Right!" I sensed bloodlust up ahead but nothing too serious. "Slayers who can fight quickly escort the civilians out of harms' way and assist the rest in battle."

Demon Slayers: "Roger!"

I charged through and kicked the door down allowing me and my fellow comrades to pass through. As soon as I was outside, I quickly checked the area and saw a bunch of Slayers fighting what seemed to be the third demon but-

Demon slayer (M): "W-What the hell is that!?"

I was brought out of my thoughts to see what was wrong, but their gaze was focused somewhere else, and they were looking at the sky. I followed their gaze and to see...

"W-What!?"

Demon Slayer (M): "Flame Hashira, we tried slowing it down for as long as possible, till at least everyone had gotten out."

3rd POV

Outside, the surroundings around the mansion have been cleared away the walls have disappeared as well. But what stood at the back left the Flame Hashira Rengoku Kyojuro speechless, a monster the height bigger than the mansion and still growing, with the surroundings gathered around its body like armor stood there towering over all of them
