Animeverse Slayer!

Damn Ubuyashiki! He used metal spikes to slow down my healing!

Muzan came out of the fire. His clothes were torn and burned, his body was filled with bloody wounds.

Just as he was about to relax he saw numerous spikes float in mid air. Before he could react the spikes trembled and grew in size.

Muzan only had time to make sure he wasn't completely immobilised. The spikes filled the courtyard and penetrated through his body, fixing him in place.

Just as he thought everything was over a sting came from his c.h.e.s.t. He looked down and found a female wearing a yukata digging her hand into his c.h.e.s.t.

"Tamayo! You wretched witch!"

Tamayo glared at Muzan, she grinded her teeth and squeezed out her words, "You will die tonight, Kibutsuji Muzan."

Muzan growled, "Witch, you escaped once. Since you want to die so badly I will grant you death."

Muzan's flesh squirmed as he tried to swallow Tamayo.

Suddenly a figure flashed beside Tamayo, "Thank you for your help, lady Tamayo."

Muzan's pupils shrunk when he saw who it was.

Leo Heart!

Shing!

Sword light flashed. Leo cut off Tamayo's arm. He grabbed her and retreated.

Right on his heels a huge form descended from the sky.

Himejima gathered 'Breath' in his arms, veins popped up as he slammed an iron ball down on Muzan.

Boom!

The ground trembled and sunk in. Dust filled their sight.

Shua! Shua!

The other Hashiras also reached the manor. Their eyes went red when they saw the state of the manor.

Oyakata-sama...

Leo and Himejima stared at the cloud of dust and waited. They knew this wouldn't take down Muzan.

A few Kakushu stood behind them, they were protecting Amane and her two daughters.

Watching the crumbling manor Leo's expression dimmed.

"Oyakata-sama, please, I ask you to reconsider!"

Leo, Gyomei and Zenitsu sat before Kagaya and pleaded.

Kagaya shook his head, "I won't live past three days. It's alright, this is what I want."

Leo hastily replied, "We can find a way. Shinobu is already working on a healing serum, once Muzan is dead we can restore your health!"

Kagaya silently looked at him for several seconds and said, "I am nearly thirty years old. My father, my grandfather, his father... every generation of Ubuyashiki never lived past thirty."

"From the moment of my birth I was already tasked with a mission. Each day I was trained to take up my father's position, I never complained, I never got lazy and I always did my best."

"I took my father's position when I was twelve. My illness started acting up when I turned twenty. Each day I could feel my body get weaker and weaker... the pain I felt couldn't be described in words."

"But I endured... all for this day. I couldn't help you children in any other way other than to provide you with material objects. I feel ashamed to not be able to stand beside you on this final battle."

Leo and the rest wanted to say something, "Oyakata-sama...

Kagaya raised his arms and stopped them from speaking, "I am tired Leo... very tired."

"At least in these final moments of my life, let me be a part of your struggles."

Leo, Gyomei and Zenitsu fell silent. They wanted to argue but they couldn't.

Finally Gyomei raised his head and bowed deeply, "Thank you for everything!"

Leo and Zenitsu looked at Gyomei then at Kagaya, their eyes blurred but they still bowed.

"Thank you, Oyakata-sama!"

Kagaya had a serene smile on his face, "Don't be sad, this is my time."

Leo clenched his sword and stared at the sea of flames.

For the families you destroyed, for the slayers you killed, Oyakata-sama... you must die Muzan!

The Hashiras were gathered, their grief and pain turned to anger and hatred.

When the sea of flames died down Muzan's figure appeared. He was covered in blood with burns all over his body.

"Die!"

Sanemi was the first to act. He slashed his sword at Muzan's throat.

A storm followed his sword and swept away everything in it's path. Muzan caught his breath and saw the attack.

He crossed his arms and took the full brunt of the attack. The aftershock threw his body into the crashed manor.

Before he could regain his footing several swords were already going for his vitals.

His head, throat, heart and brains were already locked on. He could feel the anger in those swords, the raging power in them would definitely wound him gravely.

Rooaaarrrr!

Muzan roared. His body squirmed and several tubes made of hardened flesh emerged from his back and swung at the incoming attacks like a whip.

Having deflected all the attacks he retreated and stared at his opponents. Over a dozen pair of eyes were focused on him, he could feel danger from every one of these eyes, especially from a pair of piercing blue eyes.

For the first time in three hundred years Muzan felt a cold chill down his spine.

He calmed his heart and said, "You were prepared."

Leo stepped forward, his bloodl.u.s.t was spilling out like a broken dam. He chose not to speak with Muzan and attacked.

Muzan speedily retreated and scoffed, "Do you really think I would come here without sufficient preparations on my own?"

Just as he said those words the ground trembled. The earth beneath their feet disappeared and what replaced it was a large field of innumerable cube sized rooms.

The Infinity Fortress!

Leo already expected this. His body flickered and appeared next to Muzan.

A dragon materialised beside him as it struck down.

Muzan's arms and shoulders were crushed by this attack. However he didn't show signs of panic and retreated calmly.

Damn that Tamayo, What did she inject into my body!?

Muzan's speed was reducing at a visible pace. Finally he stopped and looked at Leo who seemed like a wild beast as he charged over destroying everything.

Muzan grinned, "Hope you like my present, Leo Heart!"

As he finished speaking Muzan was covered in a ball made of flesh and disappeared into a door of darkness that appeared out of nowhere.

Leo's rushed forward but as he got close he felt a faint sense of danger and took a step back.

He stared forward and found a mass of flesh slowly emerge from that dark door. At first it was just a hand but as he watched a huge body atleast four times bigger than an average human's stepped out.

It had countless faces on it's body. Hundreds of eyes focused on Leo.

Leo frowned. This demon... it's different.
