"I promise, it's all over, we are free"

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

Does not follow Manga, no major spoiler

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

"CAW, CAW, 30 MINUTES TILL DAWN"

The brutality of the battle did not reduce by the slightest

Muzan, in his complete demon form, is practically unharmed so far, whenever any of us manage to land a slice on him, it regenerates perfectly before a drop of blood gets to show

We have all realised by now that even if all of us give our all together, we still stand no chance in defeating him entirely, our only hope is to drag the fight on until dawn arrives, the sun, can kill him without any difficulties

"Trying to wait until dawn? Ridiculous, I'll make sure you are all dead by then"

And we are not expecting to hide our plan from Muzan

Every now and then, the crow would inform us the time left, we fought every second through, all the way from 3 hours, till 30 minutes

The sooner we are getting to dawn, the more violent, intense, and fierce Muzan's attacks are becoming, it is not an easy fight, it has never been an easy fight

Look around, dead bodies are everywhere, blood coloured the pebbles into crimson, the only sound that can be heard, are slices, groans, shouts, screams....

Many lives, are sacrificed

The lower ranked demon slayers, after experiencing the power of Muzan for themselves, after witnessing the struggles of us Hashiras even when all 10 of us are fighting together, after seeing the cruelty of reality, they came to a decision, to protect, and assist the Hashiras at all cost, even if it costs their own life

I am, and will forever be thankful for their sacrifices to block deadly attacks for us, using their own body, their bravery should be forever remembered, respected and praised

The task of ignoring the continuous death around me, to pretend that I did not see others die for me, kills me from the inside, as it is for all other Hashiras

Simultaneously, we also know that we cannot afford to lose focus, to lose concentration, not at all, it's been made clear that our lives is prioritised, for we are the only hope in dragging to fight till dawn

For we are fighting for them too

"Breath of Wind Seventh Form: Gale, Sudden Gusts"

"Breath of Flame Third Form: Blazing Universe"

"Breath of Love Second Form: Love Pangs"

"Breath of Sound Fourth Form: Constant Resounding Slashes"

In sync with one another, Sanemi, Kyojuro, Mitsuri and Tengen charged at this monster from four different direction, for assistance, the rest of us attempted to leave as many cuts and slices as possible

Those cuts and slices are not deadly enough to kill him, but since we have all been fighting for hours, Muzan is getting tired, his regeneration is slower in compare to the very beginning, but still rather fast, though

"You think these little tricks can kill me? How pathetic"

With a smirk, the frequency of his attack alongside the power increased drastically within a blink of eye

The next thing, all 4 of them are whipped away, smashing into whatever came in there way

"Breath of Stone Fourth Form: Volcanic Rock, Rapid Conquest"
