Another point is that the more agile the enemy is, the harder it is for her attacks to hit the vital points.

The blow must hit the vital point, even if his soul is not completely destroyed, it must be damaged. Therefore, once the knife is drawn, the first blow is the most important.

"—!"

"What is this?" Douma was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "Lord Muzan? Oh my, this is really interesting."

Douma smiled and said, "What is this poison? Can it help me get rid of Muzan-sama's control? No need. Even if I get rid of his control, I will not betray that sama."

"No, it's enough." Shinobu Kocho put away the Sun Sword in her hand and pulled out another one. The tip of this sword was made of the fragment of Ichimaru Gin's Zanpakuto.

This is it. The final one.

Breath of the Insect·Dance of Death·Soul Break

The blade pierced through Douma's eyes and stabbed towards the location of his soul.

hum-

The scenery in front of Douma disappeared in an instant. His eyes could see nothing, his ears could hear nothing, and his body could feel nothing.

He couldn't even feel where his hands were.

Can't move.

The surroundings fell into darkness.

In reality, with Shinobu Kocho's attack, the ice fog around him began to disappear, and Douma fell to his knees on the ground.

But he is not dead yet, just useless.

According to Shinobu Kocho's past research experience, if the soul is only injured but not killed, the ghost can slowly heal the injury to the soul.

According to the world seen by Gin Ichimaru who has mastered the 'transparent world', when the soul is injured, the body will slowly nourish the broken soul and restore the soul to wholeness.

But the speed is very slow, and even if the soul is restored, there will be varying degrees of memory loss. However, this loss will be restored little by little with a certain degree of stimulation.

Therefore, it is very likely that the brain and soul share the role of "memory". If the soul is damaged, the brain can restore the soul. If the brain's memory is damaged, the soul can also repair the brain.

The body can be described as a shield for the soul. Unless it is completely dead, it will continue to provide the soul with necessary nutrients, protect the soul, and heal the soul's wounds.

It is unknown whether this ability is exclusive to ghosts or shared by all people.

Because it is impossible for a normal person to survive after having their brain pierced, it is impossible to conduct experiments. Even if people in other worlds can survive after having their brains pierced, it is useless because the worldviews and concepts of the soul are different.

The reason why Muzan Kibutsuji was able to recover his memory so quickly is similar to this. He is different from other ghosts. Even if the soul core in his brain is broken, the souls scattered around can be used as a reference, and then the powerful nutrients provided by that body can allow the soul to recover quickly.

"It's over." Shinobu Kocho looked at Douma lying on the ground and pointed the Nichirin Sword at the back of Douma's head, and then she would completely destroy his soul from here.

His soul was shattered and he disappeared completely from this world.

"Sister, I did it."

Phew.

The blade stabbed down.

Douma, completely dead.

Last words - Because his soul was shattered, he was unable to utter any last words either physically or spiritually. His last words before death were "Even if I get rid of his control, I will not betray that adult."

"Haha - great, awesome!" Akaza laughed and faced the attacks of three people at the same time.

"Tomioka! Kamado boy!"

"Yes--"

"what happened?"

"You two go find Muzan and the lord!" Rengoku Kyojuro clenched the Nichirin Sword in his hand and said loudly, "Leave this to me!"

"Don't be so polite, just come together." Akaza looked at the three and said, "You are all good fighters, this is better, the three of you together will give us a sense of oppression!"

"Mr. Purgatory—"

"It's okay, Kamado-kun!" Rengoku Kyojuro shouted, "I won't lose this battle!"

"Let's go." Giyu Tomioka was silent for a moment and then said.

The most important task now is to find the whereabouts of the lord and Muzan Kibutsuji.

Everything will be over as long as Muzan Kibutsuji is killed.

"Tsk, are you gone?" Akaza said in astonishment, "But it doesn't matter, I can still defeat you in time, or..."

Akaza smiled and said, "You deliberately sent them away because you want to become a ghost?"

"No, I just simply thought that I could win by myself." Rengoku Kyojuro said to Akaza.

"?"

Akaza frowned: "What's going on with this weird feeling? Now is not the time to worry about it."

"Become a demon, Kyojuro. Right now, Lord Muzan is lacking in fighting power. As long as you become a demon, he will give you enough blood. Then we can continue to fight like this."

"No!" Rengoku Kyojuro waved the Sun Blade in his hand: "I will be the winner in this battle!"

bang bang-

The blade and Akaza collided with each other.

The battle resumes.

Unlike before when he had to face three people at the same time, now Akaza was only facing Rengoku Kyojuro alone, and because of this, this strange feeling became even more intense.

Why can't I win?

According to the situation in the last battle with Rengoku Kyojuro, he should have been injured by at least now, but why?

"Sure enough, my feeling was correct." Rengoku Kyojuro looked at Akaza and said, "You have become weaker!"

"!?" Akaza's pupils shrank: "I have become weaker!?"

"You've become weaker!" Rengoku Kyojuro said as he blocked Akaza's attack with the Nichirin Sword in his hand, then cut off both of his hands and left a long wound on his chest. "It's true that your regeneration speed, strength, and attack speed have greatly increased, but even so, you've become weaker!"

Chapter 43 Take action

Chapter 43: Action

This is simply outrageous talk!

Akaza protested, but for some reason he couldn't say it.

Compared to the last battle, Rengoku Kyojuro has become much stronger, but he has also indeed become weaker. In the last round of battle, he was almost killed by the neck twice.

"This shouldn't be happening. What's going on?"

"Because of the increase in strength and speed, I can't adapt to it for a while?"

"No, my own blood demon art, the Destruction Killing Needle, can perfectly handle this situation."

"If it's not like this, then what is it? I always feel like something is missing inside of me."

"I always feel like someone is holding my hand when I'm throwing a punch."

'The action of holding my hand was very gentle, and there was a feeling of nostalgia, and a feeling of wanting to stop.'

Muzan Kibutsuji erased Akaza's memories of his human days, but that was only temporary, just like Muzan Kibutsuji, who had lost his memories, is now slowly recovering.

Unless the memories of both the body and soul are erased at the same time.

Gin Ichimaru can erase the memory of the soul by injuring the soul, and Muzan Kibutsuji can erase the memory of the body by manipulating the body of the ghost he created.

If the two of them work together, they can completely erase a person's memory, but this is impossible.

Only Akaza's physical memories were erased, and his soul is gradually recalling his memories. It would have been fine if Muzan Kibutsuji erased all of Akaza's memories, but he only erased Akaza's memories from his human period.

Therefore, when human memory is now recalled, it is as if he has experienced that time again, coupled with the wonderful "soul worldview" of this world.

At this moment, Akaza felt someone pulling his hand.

It was a familiar yet unfamiliar figure, with light movements, but every time he struggled to break free, there was a hesitation, so his movements became slow.

He didn't notice this before, so his physical body recovered the related memories very slowly. But now, because of Rengoku Kyojuro, he noticed it.

Therefore, the feeling of someone holding my hand became clearer and clearer, and auditory hallucinations gradually began to appear in my ears.

That strange figure is becoming more and more familiar.

"Please stop it, Komaji-nii."

"Komaji? Who is that? I'm Akaza, get out of the way, you called the wrong person, don't bother me." Akaza wanted to say this, but couldn't open his mouth.

Breath of Fire - Form Three - Air Flame

"?"

Rengoku Kyojuro slashed with his sword and almost cut Akaza in half diagonally: "Stop? What happened?"

Although the two were talking, the fight never stopped during the process. As a result, his attack suddenly hit the target, and it was a very strong one.

Why did he suddenly stop hiding?

Rengoku Kyojuro was surprised for a moment, but without stopping, he turned around and prepared to chop off Akaza's head.

The last thing you need in battle is mercy for your enemy.

He was originally planning to truly enter the 'supreme realm' in this battle. To reach this realm, relying solely on 'competition' would not be enough for him now. He must fight with all his might.

But this is different from what he thought.

Akaza suddenly stopped and suddenly his head was chopped off by himself. He didn't seem to say anything. How could such a change happen suddenly?

Rengoku Kyojuro really didn't say anything, he just pointed out the 'fact' that Akaza had become weaker. The real cause of this situation was Muzan Kibutsuji's distrust of his subordinates.

He erased Akaza's memories of his human days, leaving a void in his heart, especially compared to his previous self.

Therefore, Akaza would subconsciously pursue a complete self and suddenly immersed himself in the memories of the past.

That was his origin, the reason why he became a ghost, he just needed a reason to become stronger.

Everything is there.

Rengoku Kyojuro put away the Nichirin Sword and watched as Akaza's body, whose neck had been cut, gradually began to dissipate.

Akaza, who could regenerate even if his neck was cut off, had his head chopped off, and the memories that were erased by Muzan Kibutsuji instantly became clear again.

There is no need to continue fighting.

"." Rengoku Kyojuro looked into the distance: "Sure enough, the root of everything is Muzan Kibutsuji!"

Although he didn't know what happened, he also knew that the reason he won the battle was that Akaza himself gave up the fight. As for the reason for giving up the fight, there was only one.

In this Infinite Castle, in addition to the Upper Moon Demons, there are also a large number of beings that can rival the Lower Moon Demons, but these demons are far from being comparable to the Pillars.

It's not even an obstacle.

In fact, instead of putting a bunch of lower-level demons into this space, it is better to put in demons of ordinary level.

Even if it is a newly born demon, or a demon that even the swordsman who just passed the final selection cannot defeat, it doesn't matter.

Because no matter how weak it is, it can be destroyed with just one blow, and the only difference is the strength of the blow.

Muzan Kibutsuji also realized this. To be more precise, he had to realize this. Now, among the Upper Moon Demons, only 'Miracle Girl' is still alive, and the rest are all dead.

"Incompetent Akaza! Douma, that waste!" Muzan Kibutsuji said gritting his teeth.

As for the jade pot?

This thing is not even worthy of him mentioning it.

"Mingnu, pull in all that garbage too!"

Even if he is not your opponent, you should try to delay the time as much as possible to give him time to fully recover.

"What on earth was the point of me creating the Twelve Demon Moons? They were of no use at the most critical moment. Didn't I kill a single pillar?!"

And on the other side-

"Hey, what are you doing sitting there!?" Fuzukawa Minoru got angry when he saw Ichimaru Gin standing beside him.
