Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

"Where is she?"

Nakime may have been very confident that Kokushibo could easily kill her, or she may have thought that she would only be a burden in the arena.

After setting up the battlefield, she used her spatial teleportation ability to enter through a window and quickly disappear.

More important than continuing to fight Kokushibo is to kill Nakime or find a way out.

Regardless of whether Emiya is able to kill Kokushibo, he will still have to face Nakime.

If this isn't resolved soon, and another powerful demon were to appear, Emiya wouldn't have any way to deal with it.

Not to mention, Emiya is no match for Kokushibo now.

While moving at high speed, Emiya used his extremely powerful dynamic vision to locate Nakime.

In just a moment, a very familiar figure appeared in front of Emiya.

That was Narumi kneeling on the ground, holding a guzheng.

With only his left hand remaining, Emiya gripped the golden Nichirin Blade tightly and swung it fiercely towards Nakime's neck.

She seemed completely unaware that Emiya was advancing towards her position.

but----

"I have to say, apart from your strength, you have basically reached the level that a strong person should have."

An extremely imposing voice came from Emiya's side, and a katana filled with various eyes appeared in front of Emiya once again.

Unlike Emiya, who had to travel around the entire space, Nakime was able to bring Kokushibo to her side directly through spatial teleportation.

Anyone could guess that Emiya's ultimate goal in fleeing was to find Nakime.

Running around aimlessly inside the Infinite City offers no benefit other than wasting stamina; you'll only gradually be entangled and consumed.

If they can kill Nakime, Emiya will be able to escape, and his survival rate will be higher than if he were in the Infinity Castle, regardless of whether it is day or night outside.

"Moon Breathing, Land Form: Everlasting Night, Lonely Moon, Without End"

"Pfft——!"

"Pfft——!"

"Pfft——!"

A rapid, interlacing series of slashes unleashed multiple blades of wind, accompanied by countless crescent-shaped blades that pierced through Emiya's body, which was floating in the air in a slashing posture.

However, Emiya, whose blood had almost completely drained, was unable to respond well to such a terrifying, storm-like attack.

Blood could no longer flow from Emiya's body; it could only seep out slowly.

Even during his lightning-fast movement, he had already become a blood-soaked figure from his own blood.

From head to toe, there wasn't a single spot that wasn't soaked in blood.

"boom--!"

All that could be seen was Emiya being struck by such a slash, flying backward like a shot put, and crashing heavily onto the wooden floor.

"it's over!"

Kokushibo sheathed the sword in his hand and delivered this verdict to Emiya, who lay on the ground in the distance.

He turned around, intending to leave the place; he was unwilling to devour such a warrior.

Nakime is also willing to take his place and devour Emiya.

"cough!"

But before Kokushibo could leave, a dry cough made it turn around in shock.

Emiya shakily stood up from the ground, plunged his golden Nichirin Blade into the ground, and barely managed to steady himself.

Emiya had no more blood to cough up, even though his mouth was already filled with blood and his teeth were stained with blood.

"It really is a tenacious vitality and spirit."

Kokushibo spared no praise for Emiya. If he were still human, he himself was not sure if he could still maintain his self-awareness under such injuries.

It takes an incredible amount of willpower to persevere like that.

However, this was merely a last gasp for Emiya, a desperate attempt to unleash his full power.

"Ughh ...

Emiya, wielding a Nichirin Blade that showed no change in color, roared like a wild beast as his entire figure transformed into a phantom, charging towards Kokushibo.

"Very well, then I'll grant you the death of a samurai!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kokushibo stomped his foot on the ground, and his entire figure disappeared from the spot in a phantom motion, even faster than Emiya.

"clang----!"

With a crisp sound, Emiya, who had taken the blow from Kokushibo, slammed heavily against the wall behind him, shattering it and sending countless wood chips flying.

"Thump—!"

With a loud thud, Emiya burst forth, like a rocket soaring into the sky, heading straight for Kokushibo.

"Ughh ...

Emiya roared, his entire figure transforming into a phantom once more, the Nichirin Blade in his hand flashing with an extremely intense silver light.

This is Emiya's last chance at life. Even if Kokushibo ignores Emiya, he will soon fall into death.

"Is it because life is in its final moments that even thinking becomes simple?"

Without any strategy or any shift in direction, Emiya charged straight towards Kokushibo's position like a straight silver spear.

"If I become a ghost, I won't have such worries!"

Kokushibo let out a disdainful look at humans from the bottom of his heart. If Emiya were a demon, he wouldn't fight in such a way that he couldn't think because his life was hanging by a thread.

Nor would it reveal so many flaws!

"Moon Breathing Second Form: Pearl Moon Dance"

Kokushibo swiftly turned his body and simultaneously unleashed two blades of wind, each carrying numerous crescent-shaped blades, slashing straight towards Emiya.

"Humph!"

A soft chuckle escaped from Emiya's lips.

"not good!"

At this moment, Kokushibo realized that Emiya's goal had never changed from beginning to end.

The knife cut down to where Emiya's other eye was, and suddenly, everything went black before his eyes.

But he has already achieved his goal!

His figure flashed with golden lightning once more, passing through Kokushibo's blockade and rushing to Nakime's side.

"Sword Breathing: Final Form - Hundred Styles Dance"

As Emiya finished speaking, four swords appeared around Nakime in an instant, each wielding a blade.

Scorching flames, gentle water, swift lightning, and raging winds.

Including the one in Emiya's hand, there were a total of five swords. These Nichirin Blades seemed to be drawn together by some kind of attraction, completely sealing Nakime in place.

Nakime could sense that even if she used spatial teleportation at top speed, her neck would be severed in an instant.

She was powerless to resist!

This is a magic technique that Emiya developed from breathing techniques, allowing him to perform moves even when the projected Nichirin Blade is not being held by anyone.

Most breathing techniques do not have strict requirements for the person. Most of them are a way of swinging that accompanies breathing. They are not a demanding skill like the Swallow Returns or shooting down a hundred heads.

Of these techniques, breathing techniques are primary, and the techniques themselves are secondary. This is why Emiya was able to execute them using his breathing techniques and projection magic.

Moreover, there are instances in Demon Slayer where a Nichirin Blade is thrown out while still retaining the power of the Breathing Technique.

Emiya's magical power was completely exhausted the moment he projected the four swords.

This was not only Emiya's decisive blow against Nakime, but also the last blow he could deliver.

Chapter 47 Muzan's Impotent Rage

At the moment Nakime died, the entire Infinity Castle seemed to have been attacked by some kind of terrifying bomb.

It shook violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

The entire space was visibly dissipating, collapsing madly.

The ground that was once a stable place suddenly shattered.

Emiya and Kokushibo plummeted downwards in freefall.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Infinite City will collapse.

"Breath of the Moon, Form 14: Calamity - Full Moon in the Sky"

At this moment, Kokushibo no longer cared about the constantly collapsing space.

Suddenly, the katana in his hand, filled with crimson and eye-like light, grew longer, splitting into multiple blades that sat on either side of the blade.

This is a manifestation of Kokushibo unleashing his full power.

Countless enormous crescent-shaped blades, along with countless giant full moon blades, were released from in front of Kokushibo. They seemed to be able to sweep away everything in front of them, stirring up the air currents in the entire space, and flew rapidly toward Emiya, who had lost consciousness and was falling like a free fall.

He could no longer prevent Nakime's death through any means.

A demon that hasn't broken through its limits cannot survive being decapitated by a Nichirin Blade.

Even among Upper Moon demons, he was the only one who could survive having his head severed by a Nichirin Blade.

Of course, Muzan had long since surpassed that limit; only the sun could truly kill him.

No other means could kill Muzan.

As for Nakime, she is not an Upper Moon demon, nor does she possess the will to break through the limits.

This collapsed Infinity Castle shows that Nakime has no way to survive.
