"I promise that I will always be here with you"

============================

The fight has truly begun

From the scents, this demon is not difficult to kill, the only difficulty that we are having is to find the real body out of all these replications

Due to the irritating mist around us, it is challenging for us to see through

At the same time there are replications constantly attacking from all directions, but none of them is the real body that we need to get rid of

"Breath of Nature First Form: Vernal Scenery, Somber Poison"

I swing my sword at another replication, as soon as my katana sliced through its neck, the demon disappeared into the atmosphere

It is not hard to tell the intention of the demon, wanting to drain our energy to the max before coming out all at once

Despite the fact that it is rather challenging for him to try to tire us out, we are the Hashira for a reason

"Y/n-chan, this is getting annoying"

"I know"

Muichiro whispered in my ear, his eyes still darting around, highly aware of the surrounding

"As a user of Mist Breathing, and the Mist Hashira, it is very irritating when I can't sort out this problem"

The young Mist Hashira clicked his tongue in annoyance, trying to find a way to get rid of the mists in the way

Mist is not my speciality, but nature is, the fact that the demon, at first, threw two piercing thorns at us most likely indicates that he more or less knows a bit about controlling nature power

"Right, Y/n-chan, I've got something in mind"

Muichiro notified me, and I nodded, trusting him as always

"In a moment you'll be on your own for a little while, look for the right timing"

"Noted"

I can feel Muichiro taking in a deep breath behind me, before placing his katana into the right position ready for his attack

Wanting to give him to make the maximum damage with his attack, I parted our back so he have some space

"Breath of Mist Third Form: Scattering Mist Splash"

In a blink of eye, Muichiro has left my side

He sprinted into the heavy mist while I concentrated to focus on both his scent and the demon's scent

Muichiro's plan worked out very well, I can tell that his sudden attack has disturbed the demon's original plan, the demon's scent is getting messier and more anxious as each second slide past

Wherever Muchiro attacked, he seems to have brought the mist with him, slicing through the head of many many replications while cleaning the mist, for me to recognise the real body

I tightened my grip on my katana, closely observing him to make sure I won't miss the specific timing where the demon shows up

Until I see a demon dodged Muichiro's swaying sword, as Muichiro is passing him

His advanced reaction compare to the other replication....

It must be him

As soon as I see that demon reach out to Muichiro's back, which is now facing him, I immediately take action
