Anime/Manga: Bankai Starting with Demon Slayer

"Vulcan Battle Form!!"

Boom!

The flames burst into full blaze, releasing a light dozens of times brighter than before.

At this moment, he was like a fire god descending to earth.

"Stop joking... What is this?!"

XANXUS stared in disbelief at what was happening before him, his eyes bloodshot.

How could that cowardly brat, whom he considered less than trash and who only knew how to cry and run away, possibly unleash such terrifying power in just a few days?!

What exactly is this pure, even terrifying, sense of oppression?

"You charlatan!!"

XANXUS completely lost his mind, and a violent flame of anger erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption.

He suddenly drew his two pistols from his waist and charged towards A-Gang himself!

"Die!! Sawada Tsunayoshi!!"

boom! boom! boom!

The twin pistols spewed flames, transforming the compressed flames of anger into a deadly meteor shower that swept towards A-Gan!

Faced with this thunderous onslaught, the clear sky in A-Gang's eyes remained completely undisturbed.

His feet slipped slightly on the ground.

Whoosh—!

On XANXUS's retina, Sawada Tsunayoshi's image disappeared into thin air, just like the flickering screen of an old television set!

Rumble! ...

The dense flames of fury slammed into the ground where A-Gan had been standing, creating a huge crater, with debris and thick smoke shooting into the sky.

"What about people?!"

"too slow."

A calm voice sounded beside XANXUS.

XANXUS felt a chill run down his spine and turned his head sharply, only to be met with A-Gan's calm and unwavering eyes.

A-Gan's right arm was like a fully drawn bow, with the Great Sky Flame blooming to its fullest extent on his fist, transforming into a dazzling golden light.

"One bone!"

boom--! ! !

A dull thud exploded in XANXUS's abdomen.

His eyeballs bulged out suddenly, and a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out of his mouth.

An incomprehensible, strange force pierced through his body and slammed into his spine.

Faced with that punch, he was as fragile as a clay doll, and was sent flying, carving a terrifying ravine half a meter deep into the ground, until he finally came to a stop after crashing into a load-bearing wall several meters away.

The Balian cadres were all as if they had been choked, unable to utter a single word.

One strike.

With just one strike, the arrogant leader, who was as domineering as a tyrant, was suppressed to the point where he had no chance to fight back!

"Ugh—!!!"

XANXUS struggled to his feet amidst the ruins, vomiting mouthfuls of blood.

"...Impossible...This is absolutely impossible!" He stared intently at A-Gang, his eyes filled with madness and resentment: "What kind of unorthodox methods did you use?! You hypocritical brat!!"

"Pretend to be a coward who doesn't want to be the leader, but secretly crave this power!"

"You're just like me! We're both ruthless bastards who'd stop at nothing to get the position of the Tenth Vongola Boss! What are you pretending to be so noble for?!"

XANXUS roared hysterically, as if only in this way could he conceal the fear deep within his heart that he himself did not want to admit.

Faced with his accusation, A-Gang slowly withdrew his fist.

The Great Sky Flame in his eyes was pure and calm, showing no signs of being provoked.

Instead, it exudes a kind of sorrowful pity.

"You're wrong, XANXUS."

Tsuna looked at him from afar: "I have never had any desire for the position of Vongola's leader."

The image of that world teeming with spiritual energy flashed through his mind.

He had witnessed the grandeur of the Seireitei, the earth-shattering battles of the Grim Reapers, and the terrifying presence that stood at the top, attempting to trample the entire world underfoot.

“I’ve seen landscapes far more expansive than this, and I’ve seen people with truly boundless ambition, those who would slaughter everything in their path.” Tsuna calmly recalled, “Compared to that, setting up elaborate schemes for a mafia boss’s chair, even stuffing your own father, whom you raised, into a killing machine…”

"Such behavior is so petty and so pathetic."

XANXUS was stunned.

At this moment, he could not see any greed for power in A Gang's eyes, but rather a kind of indifference after experiencing vicissitudes.

"There are many things in this world more important than the position of Mafia boss."

Tsuna walked step by step toward Xanxus, the fiery ribbons behind him burning in the night wind: "I gritted my teeth and persevered through that hellish training, desperately trying to become stronger, and finally managed to return to my own world..."

"I'm not doing this so I can just stand by and watch you hurt my family and friends."

The moment the words left his mouth, A-Gang's figure vanished once more.

This time, he gave XANXUS no chance to catch his breath.

BOOM—!!

The powerful punch, imbued with the flames of the vast sky, struck the opponent's abdomen once again.

With a series of cracking sounds, XANXUS completely lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

The leader of the Varian assassination squad, who once swept through the European mafia and symbolized violence and fear, was utterly defeated by a fourteen-year-old boy.

If A-Tsuna hadn't held back at the last moment and only chosen to break his bones, this punch could have pierced right through him!

The entire audience was completely silent.

The knife in Belfiore's hand slipped and fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Levi's knees buckled, and he knelt down, his eyes filled with despair at the collapse of his faith.

Even the most hot-tempered Squalo dared not show any further disrespect to the boy.

He's just a brute, not a fool.

At this moment, all he wanted was to confirm whether the leader was still alive; he no longer dared to hope for the ring or anything like that.

As the remaining morale of the Balian vanished, they lost all will to fight.

This brutal and treacherous battle for the Vongola Rings has finally come to an end.

The Cerbero staff, who had been observing the situation, exchanged glances, suppressed their shock, and quickly walked to the center of the field.

They glanced at XANXUS lying motionless on the ground, then turned to Sawada Tsunayoshi and the Vongola soldiers behind him, their gazes fixed on him.

"Lord XANXUS has lost his ability to fight, and the entire Varia side has been defeated."

Cerberus's cool voice echoed in the night sky: "In accordance with the absolute rules of the Ring Wars, we hereby officially announce—"

"The victor of this great air battle, and the ultimate successor to the tenth Vongola boss, is—"

"Your Excellency Sawada Tsunayoshi!"

As the declaration of victory was made, Celbero immediately handed the half-ring he had collected from the Balian side to Tsunayoshi.

As Tsuna looked at the rings, the coldness in his eyes gradually faded.

The flames on his body extinguished, and he returned to being the gentle-looking boy.

He showed no elation, calmly accepting the rings before turning to look at the Ninth Boss, who was receiving emergency medical treatment, and his companions, who wore relieved smiles.

"Finally...it's over."

"Well done, Tsuna." Sawada Iemitsu walked over and patted his son's shoulder hard, his lion-like eyes filled with pride and emotion.

Then, his gaze turned cold again, and he waved to the elite consultants outside the door behind him.

"Handle all of XANXUS and the entire Balian force and place them under strict guard!"

"No one is allowed to visit them until the Ninth Generation's condition stabilizes and a final verdict is issued! They must face the family's most severe judgment for this rebellion and usurpation!"

"Yes!"

The elite troops swiftly moved forward and subdued the helpless Balian.

A catastrophe has finally come to an end.

Looking at everything before her, Asuka was finally able to focus her attention on herself.

That kid's business is over, but what about me?!

Chapter 843 The Eighth Type of Dying Flame

Asuka originally thought that as long as Tsuna resolved the issue of inheritance, even if she corrected the original timeline, the mutation on her body would be resolved.

But it seems the problem isn't so easily solved; he remains in an infant's position.

"Asuka... are you alright?" Shinobu's concerned voice rang out, making Asuka even more anxious.

I can't stay like this forever, can I? How will I manage in the future?

He frowned, trying to mobilize the power within his body to touch that invisible boundary of space and time, but all he got in return was a feeling of stagnation.

The world seemed to have become an airtight iron barrel, leaving these travelers, who should have left, stranded here.

"Tch... So this time it's my turn to be trapped...?"

Asuka sighed and frowned slightly. "We can't leave anytime soon. We need to find a place to settle down first, and then slowly look for a way to reopen the boundary."

Just as Asuka was pondering where to settle down in Namimori, a cool voice came from behind them.

“If you have nowhere to go, you can come with me.”

Asuka turned around and saw Hibari Kyoya standing quietly not far away, wearing that old school uniform.

In the battle of the clouds that took place a dozen minutes ago, Lark won without any pressure.

Although he was always confident in his own strength, he knew that it was the baby in front of him who gave him a special power that allowed him to easily defeat that terrifying robot.

Otherwise, if the two sides get caught in a stalemate, the Namishō school building will definitely suffer even greater consequences.

For Hibari, who valued the school above all else, this favor was something he remembered.

“Senior Hibari…” Tsuna was somewhat surprised.

After all, Lark is known to hate crowds, let alone invite others to stay on his territory.

“My mansion has many empty rooms. The only condition for moving in is to keep quiet.” The lark looked at the bird and gave a mysterious smile. “Of course, if you’ve had enough rest, I’d like to spar with you.”

"Is that so? Then I'll gladly accept your offer." Asuka had no intention of refusing.

All he wants now is to find a place to rest.

The next morning.

The Hibari family's Japanese mansion is located in the quietest part of Namimori Town, with towering walls completely isolating it from the noise of the outside world.

In the courtyard, the frightened deer, after filling its belly with water, tapped its belly on the bluestone, producing a crisp tapping sound that added to the tranquility.

The little bird sat cross-legged on the corridor, holding a cup of hot tea that had just been delivered, studying the unresponsive black and white pacifier around its neck.

Ever since I put it on, my spiritual power has been stagnant; today I couldn't even hear the voices of Hazo and Adnes...

What material is this thing made of? Can I just smash it with a hammer?

"After Asuka-kun turned into a child, he became much cuter when he got angry."

Shinobu sat not far behind him, studying the instruments used to analyze spatial fluctuations with Nemuru, and couldn't help but tease Asuka about her current appearance: "It feels like you're taking care of a baby ahead of time."

"..."

Asuka silently sipped her hot tea, feeling sullen.

"Ciao~"
