Demon Slayer: Strength Gained with Every Swing of the Sword

On Akaza's face, a smile spread as he took slow, measured steps toward Giyu Tomioka.

"Human life is so fragile. It's a pity you refuse to become a demon and join me in exploring the highest realms of this world."

"If you were a demon, you would have healed from that wound already!" Akaza mocked.

"Be a good boy and become my delicious feast!" he said, lunging toward Giyu.

Suddenly!

Giyu Tomioka, who had his eyes closed moments before, snapped them open, and with a swift movement of his Nichirin Sword, the Sword flashed through the air.

The clash of sword and fist echoed.

Akaza shouted, "Destruction Kill—Empty Style!"

He transformed his fist into a blur of rapid strikes aimed at Giyu.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions erupted behind Giyu, showing just how powerful Akaza's attacks were.

Despite Akaza's overwhelming speed, Giyu moved like a shadow, gracefully dodging each blow.

"It's impossible!" Akaza staggered back, eyes wide with disbelief as he stared at Giyu. "How could you step into the gateway of the supreme realm?!"

"I don't believe humans can do such a thing!" he shouted.

"Destruction Kill—Annihilation Style!"

Akaza's aura surged, gathering around his fists as he unleashed a terrifying barrage. Wherever his fists landed, violent explosions shook the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The destructive energy ignited nearby buildings.

Flames roared, and thick smoke billowed, but through the haze, Giyu's silhouette slowly emerged. The flames cast long shadows that seemed to stretch and elongate behind him.

At that moment, Giyu had entered a unique state. His presence seemed to have faded—he appeared like an ordinary person, yet to Akaza, his danger was now on par with that of Feng Yu from the past.

"It's impossible! A mere human... a mere human..."

Akaza fell into self-doubt. First, it was Feng Yu who had entered this realm, and now Giyu Tomioka, while Akaza, a demon, had struggled for centuries just to take a half-step into the supreme realm.

"Why? Why?! You're nothing but a human, a worthless human!"

Akaza's expression twisted into madness, as though his entire worldview had collapsed.

"Heh... but with this, you've earned the right to be my opponent!"

A sudden calmness returned to Akaza's face, and he smiled widely as he beckoned Giyu forward in challenge.

From a distance, Giyu's face was streaked with tears as he whispered, "Sister…"

His mind drifted back to the moment he'd briefly lost consciousness and seen his beloved sister, Giyu Nanako. The grief he'd buried deep within him came rushing to the surface.

"Destruction Kill—Demon Core Eightfold Core!"

Akaza struck from all directions, launching a flurry of punches.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground trembled with each impact, but through the smoke and debris, a blue barrier appeared, and Giyu remained unharmed.

"What is this feeling...?"

Giyu thought to himself. At this moment, he felt as though he had become a god, able to understand the flow of all life and control the very essence of the world.

"My techniques have grown stronger…"

The blue domain around him was much more powerful than before. Facing Akaza's fierce attack, it barely caused a ripple.

Suddenly, the blue barrier shattered with a deafening crack, and Giyu coughed up blood, his face turning pale. "This state is so draining…"

He half-knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.

From a distance, Akaza's laughter rang out.

"This is what humans are, weak, pitiful, and helpless!"

"Even though you've touched the supreme realm, you can't sustain the consumption. Ha ha ha, I told you, becoming a demon is your only way out!"

"Come, become a demon! Let's step into this highest realm together!"

Akaza's face gleamed with pride, confident in the power he derived from becoming a demon. He looked down on Giyu, who could not withstand the supreme realm's energy as a mere human.

"I told you, I will never become a disgusting demon!" Giyu's face twisted in agony as he gritted his teeth.

"You see yourself? You can't even stand up or wield your Sword. How can you look down on demons?" Akaza's cold gaze pierced through Giyu, as though enraged by his defiance.

"Since you're so stubborn, then let's die together!"

"Destruction Kill—Final Style—Blue Eye Erratic Luminous Strike!"

Countless needles appeared around Akaza, each one aimed directly at Giyu.

Giyu tried to rise to his feet to fight back, but the weakness in his body made it impossible to lift his Nichirin Sword.

Seeing the terrifying, destructive needles heading toward him, a glimmer of despair flashed across Giyu's face.

"Sister… I might not be able to survive this…"

He closed his eyes, as though accepting his fate.

Suddenly—

A white figure appeared beside Giyu, grabbing him and leaping to safety, narrowly avoiding the oncoming attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The energy from the explosion rang out, but Giyu was safe.

Akaza looked on, amused. "Ah, it's you strange creatures again!"

"I'm sure if I send you to Muzan-sama, he'll be very interested in you. After all, aside from us demons, no other creatures can wield Blood Demon Arts!"

Akaza cast a curious glance at the massive Xiao Bai, mistakenly believing it was Xiao Bai who had used the Blood Demon Art, his interest piqued.

"This demon is strong…"

Xiao Bai slowly set Giyu down and looked at its injured hind legs.

Clearly, Xiao Bai had taken a hit while rescuing Giyu.

"I just need to hold on a little longer…"

Xiao Bai could feel the booming sounds of battle from Feng Yu's direction. The overwhelming aura coming from Feng Yu confirmed that the battle was one-sided.

"Summon Spirit!"

A massive nine-tailed white fox apparition appeared behind Xiao Bai, its terrifying aura sending ripples through the air.

"Oh, another type of Blood Demon Art?" Akaza chuckled.

"Too bad. You creatures will never understand how strong I am after stepping into the supreme realm!"

"Technique Unleashed—Destruction Kill—Needle Formation!"

A huge blue snowflake symbol appeared beneath Akaza's feet, and the needles aimed at Xiao Bai.

"Heh, you don't even have any energy to speak of!"

"Destruction Kill—Chaos Style!"

Akaza shot forward, his body rocketing like a missile toward Xiao Bai.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai gathered energy into a sphere and began to unleash attack after attack at Akaza.

But Akaza dodged them all with ease, his body moving like a shadow, appearing in a new spot just as each energy ball reached him.

"Haha, your attacks are nothing to me!" Akaza laughed.

Under the half-step supreme realm, Xiao Bai's attacks were slow and ineffective in Akaza's eyes.

"Destruction Kill—Foot Style—Shimmering Light Slash!"

Akaza launched a brutal kick toward Xiao Bai, his foot flashing with blinding light. Xiao Bai was forced to retreat under the assault.

Even with three tails and the illusionary fox behind it, Xiao Bai couldn't stop Akaza's overwhelming attack.

Xiao Bai was sent flying, crashing through the trees. Its pristine white fur became dirty, stained with mud and blood.

Xiao Bai was injured.

The force of Akaza's kick felt as though it had broken its bones, and every movement brought sharp, searing pain.
