Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 256 Fierce Battle: Hollowfied Gilgamesh

The wolf's sharp teeth embedded themselves in the bone, making a series of cracking sounds.

The white surface cracked instantly, and large amounts of black mud kept gushing out of the cracks in an attempt to salvage the situation.

But when the black mud covering its body came into contact with the golden-red flames in the wolf's mouth...

Metastacia let out a scream unlike any he had ever heard before:

[It's so hot!!!]

Countless tentacles sprouted from the parasitic bone surface, twitching wildly, attempting to devour the other party from the chest.

The wolf let out a low growl, its pupils blazing with intense light, and its sharp teeth clenched tightly!

The tentacles were torn off by the roots, and the fragments burned into ashes in the air, scattering like black rain.

Seeing this, he could only control Gilgamesh's body to retreat wildly, wildly swinging the divine weapon in his hand in an attempt to dispel the strange fiery wolf head.

But to his horror, he discovered that the flames were burning not only his body.

This force is evaporating his soul by burning away his evil thoughts!

Even as countless corrupted magical artifacts erupted from behind, attempting to shatter the illusion.

However, if one's own soul is affected, these abilities will instantly lose their accuracy and scatter everywhere.

[Impossible! This is the power of all the evil in this world that has been used against me! What right do you have?!]

The birds did not answer.

Taking advantage of Metastacia's entanglement with Wolf Head, Asuka didn't waste any words. Spiderweb-like cracks exploded beneath his feet as he leaped forward.

"This malice... is both an amplification of you and your weakness."

Hearing his voice beside her, Metastasia hurriedly used the Royal Treasury in a panic to respond.

Sharp spiral spears, heavy warhammers, and tangled chains—each piece carried a dark, cursed aura, piercing the birds on the flanks.

The bird remained unmoved, its left arm and wolf claws swiping through the air—

boom-!!

A pillar of golden-red fire shot up from the ground, spinning like a tornado, and crashed into the warhammers and chains.

The flames did not destroy the treasures, but instead quickly burned away the black mud on their surface, revealing their original golden luster.

Freed from the influence of these evil thoughts, the Noble Phantasms seemed to come to life and froze in mid-air, ultimately rejecting Metastassia's command.

Their king is Gilgamesh, not this dubious thing.

Metastasia's offensive crumbled instantly. The purified Noble Phantasms crashed to the ground, creating deep craters, but they couldn't harm the bird in the slightest.

The bird clenched its left wolf paw slightly, feeling the warmth emanating from the wolf's head...

The negative thoughts contained in the burned black mud, such as greed, tyranny, and hatred, are being purified and poured into his spirit, further increasing the spiritual pressure within him.

He closed in, his right hand wielding a katana that slashed down from his shoulder, creating a high-speed diagonal cut in the air!

The flames solidified, transforming into a blazing golden arc, resembling a miniature, scorching sun!

*Sizzle!*

Metastacia summoned a massive, blackened shield with her other hand, attempting to block the slash.

But faced with this godlike strike, the edge of the shield was torn apart as if it had encountered a paper cutter!

Taking advantage of the situation, the bird followed up, its left wolf claw reaching forward, the tip of the claw snapping out!

If Metastasia hadn't reacted quickly and discarded his shield, which had been cut in two, he wouldn't have just had a wound torn open by the wolf's claws; he probably would have lost half of his arm.

Even so, the flames on the wolf's claws clung tightly to his wound, relentlessly trying to penetrate the depths of his soul.

That is hellfire that can purify all filth and feeds on negative energy.

Metastasia forced herself to stay calm and drew two more blackened double-edged axes from the vault.

I'll fight you to the death!!

The blade, wreathed in dark waves of mental disturbance, slashed across the top of the bird's head, tearing tiny cracks in the very space.

The long katana swept horizontally to meet the attack, its flames blazing forth.

The dark energy on the first axe blade was purified the moment it made contact, dissipating as harmless smoke.

Another double-edged axe came crashing down, but was blocked in mid-air by the wolf claw in the left hand, which transformed into a fiery shield.

With a sudden twist, the axe broke in two, and the black mud gushing from the break was quickly swallowed up and transformed into supplies for the birds.

Metastacia was neither able to fight back nor escape, and he had a wolf's head hanging from his chest, constantly tearing at his flesh.

A stubborn person with two blocked ends.

After much deliberation, he could only make the black mud extend like wings behind him, controlling Gilgamesh to take off.

The ripples of the treasure vault spread out in a fan shape in the air, spraying out a dense rain of arrows, each arrow carrying a cursed arc of tracking, locking onto the movement trajectory of the birds.

But Asuka's Shunpo becomes even faster after she unlocks it.

His footsteps were unsteady, making his figure move like a ghost among the rubble, leaving behind illusory flames that could wield sword shadows.

"...Pure Lotus of Karma," he whispered.

The long sword in his hand suddenly trembled, and the flowing golden-red flames on the blade abruptly detached from the edge.

They constantly transformed and recombined in the air, eventually turning into dozens of budding, crimson-gold lotus flowers, suspended in mid-air.

"go!"

At the bird's command, the lotus flowers swiftly drew graceful arcs in the air, rushing towards the dark, shimmering sky.

Having already witnessed the bizarre parasitic Hollow of Asuka Flame, how could he dare to take it head-on?

Get away! Don't come any closer!

Metastasia frantically swung her Noble Phantasm, attempting to shatter the lotus flowers.

But those lotus flowers didn't seem to be real; when the Noble Phantasm struck them, it was as if it had struck phantoms.

puff!puff!puff!

The first lotus flower landed on me and bloomed instantly.

【Aaaaaahhhhhh—！！！】Metastacia screamed again.

How many souls have you devoured in your life?

How many Death Gods have been tormented by it?

How many vicious curses accumulated while the seagull was lurking inside its body?

At this moment, the flames were tormenting him from the depths of his soul.

This crimson fire burns fiercely, fueled by sins.

Then came the second, the third...

Dozens of red lotuses bloomed on Gilgamesh's body, turning him into a burning fireman.

Strangely, Gilgamesh, as the host, was not harmed in any way.

On the contrary, amidst this intense burning, the suppressed will within him was rapidly reviving.

Meanwhile, as the crimson lotus burned, streams of extremely pure power were flowing back into his body through an invisible connection.

That was the pure spiritual power extracted from the red lotus, purified of the evils of this world.

Asuka's spiritual pressure was filling up at an astonishing speed, and even showed signs of breaking through its limit!

"As expected... you're a huge experience pack."

As the bird felt the surging power within it, it couldn't help but smile.

"I wasn't sure I could beat that golden guy, after all, he has so many powerful Noble Phantasms."

"but..

"7

He looked at Metastacia, who was struggling violently, then at the angry gaze that didn't exist in the large void. "Since it's you, this filthy creature, controlling this body with that Hollow..."

'

"The outcome of this battle was predetermined from the very beginning!"
