"Every tear tells a story cause people don't cry without a reason"— Itachi, Naruto

  <><><><><><>

  The only ones present who could fight Muzan Kibutsuji were the girls.

  Although Gyomei Himejima and the other Hashira could also hold their own against Muzan if they activated their Demon Syer Marks, there was no need for that.

  Activating the Demon Syer Mark signifitly shorteheir lifespans.

  In the inal story, Muzan was ambushed by Tamayo, who ied him with a drug that turned him into a human.

  Although Muzaually deposed the drug, it transformed into an aging agent once deposed.

  This drug, created by Tamayo, could age Muzan by fifty years per minute.

  Excluding the time it took for the drug to take effect, Muzan had aged at least housand years.

  Due to his accelerated aging, his speed and stamina were deing, and he couldn't even swiftly kill a few Hashira.

  Even so, the Demon Syer Corps suffered heavy losses before they could hold out until dawn.

  Ultimately, Muzan perished uhe sunlight.

  This demonstrated Muzan's immense power.

  Hearing Roy's words, the girls were eager to fight.

  "Roy, let me go first!" Saeko, impatient to battle a strong oppo, was the first to volunteer.

  Roy sidered this for a moment. "Saeko, you won't be able to defeat him alone."

  "Then how about with me as well?" Shinobu stepped forward.

  "And me..." Kanae also expressed her desire to join the fight.

  Their versation was overheard by Muzan Kibutsuji.

  He was enraged, his fear of Roy momentarily fotten.

  Never had he, the Demon King, beeed as mere prey to be fought over. It was an insult.

  Furious, Muzan transformed his arms into whip-like appendages and shed out at them.

  The whips tore through the air with tremendous force, redug the walls oher side of the alley to rubble.

  "Saeko! Shinobu!" Roy called out calmly in the fauzan's ferocious attack.

  Saeko and Shinobu uood what they had to do.

  They swiftly moved to intercept Muzan's whips, their swords defleg the attacks.

  "Kanae, Kanao, you join the fight as well. Everyone else, stand back."

  Kanae and Kanao joihe fray.

  Roy, along with Makomo, Nezuko, Mitsuri, and Tanjiro, retreated to a nearby rooftop, as did the Hashira.

  The reason Roy only sent Saeko and the others to fight Muzan was that they were all at the early stages of Middle-Css Devil. They needed a challenging battle to Improve their strength.

  Muzan possessed the power of High-Css Devil.

  If Nezuko and Mitsuri joihe fight, there would be no suspense, as both of them were capable of taking on High-Css Devils.

  Makomo, being only at the early stage of Middle-Css Devil, was not ready for such a fight. She was there simply to be adorable.

  With that thought, Roy gently patted Makomo's head.

  The area around Muzan, spanning a hundred meters, was reduced to ruins.

  Muzan wielded four whip-like appendages, capable of extending arag, serving both offensive and defensive purposes.

  Each whip targeted one of the girls.

  Saeko and the others were momentarily held back.

  But they weren't tent with being on the defehey unleashed their teiques.

  "Thunder Breathing, Thunder Fsh!"

  This was a teique Saeko had created by bining Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderbsp;and Fsh with Iaido.

  It was as fast as lightning. Saeko's form blurred with a fsh of thunder, and she vanished from her spot.

  She bypassed the whips and appeared beside Muzan, sshing at him without hesitation.

  Thwack!

  Caught off guard, Muzan's neck was struck.

  However, his neck was incredibly tough. Even Saeko's bde could only pee halfway befetting stuck.

  Saeko swiftly retracted her sword areated, dodging the ining whips.

  "Wow! Saeko-nee-san's attack was amazing!"

  "If I remember correctly, Saeko has only been learning Thunder Breathing for half a month!"

  "Yes! She's incredible!"

  ...

  Shinobu and Kanae were impressed by Saeko's successful strike.

  To unleash such power after only half a month of training in Thunder Breathing and even develop a eique by bining it with her swordsmanship was truly admirable.

  "Unfortunately, it didn't cause any signifit damage," Saeko said with a sigh.

  "His regeive abilities are to!" Shinobu excimed, watg as the wound on Muzan's nestantly healed.

  "Perhaps it's because Saeko isn't using a Nichirin Bde. Watch this..." Kanae said, stepping forward.

  "Flower Breathing, Final Form: Vermilion Eye!"

  This was the ultimate teique of Flower Breathing.

  By applying pressure to her eyeballs, Kanae pushed her dynamic vision to its limit, slowing down the movements of everything around her.

  Like a graceful butterfly, Kanae weaved through Muzan's whips, effortlessly reag him.

  "Flower Breathing, Sixth Form: Whirling Peach!" she shouted.

  Kanae gracefully flipped in mid-air and unleashed a horizontal ssh, her Nichirin Bde leaving a trail of flower petals in its wake.

  The attack was as beautiful as it was deadly.

  Thwack!

  The bde sliced into Muzan's neck, but once again, it only peed halfway before stopping.

  Muzan's neck regeed at an astonishing speed.

  Kanae had no choice but to retreat.

  "It seems we 't sever his head," she said with a sigh.

  Even Saeko and Kahe stro among them, couldn't cut through Muzan's neck. Defeating him seemed like an impossible task.
