Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

It can only be said that Hei Dao truly deserves to be called the strictest Upper Moon father, and he really did bring about a qualitative change in Kiyokawa Izumi's strength—he was able to clearly suppress the Upper Moon's terrifying regenerative power.

The outcome was decided in just two strikes.

Kiyokawa Izumi's power was deeply etched in everyone's minds.

This is a strange world.

Perhaps, the descendants of those present may one day see this inherited memory in their dreams and be deeply moved.

Two strikes shattered Akaza's delusion of continuing to grow stronger, leaving it utterly defeated and filled with resentment.

The fear between life and death is immense. Akaza, who was forced into such a desperate situation for the first time, felt not only disbelief but also extreme resentment.

With an extremely strong obsession, it refused to admit defeat.

It will become even stronger!

Defeating this man in front of you will definitely make you stronger!

It's just that his head was cut off; it will grow back.

Driven by its obsession, Akaza slowly moved its body, ignoring both its deep-seated fear and the pain from being burned.

What we need to do now is get moving! The battle isn't over yet, and it hasn't been defeated!

"How...is this possible?"

The three little ones, who had just relaxed, were undoubtedly shocked.

Even though its neck had been severed, neither its body nor its head had dissipated, and one could still smell a very strong desire to continue fighting.

Extreme resentment seemed to transform into an inexhaustible source of power, as if some invisible constraint had been broken, and an incredibly terrifying monster was being born.

Even Shinobu Kocho's purple pupils contracted slightly for a moment; as a Pillar, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

It is overcoming the weakness of decapitation.

The injuries sustained by Kiyokawa Izumi were slowly healing—a change that was not what anyone wanted to see.

The body should dissipate, so why is it still recovering?

"Your obsession is touching, but without complete memories, you cannot find your true self, and thus you are also incomplete."

After our last parting, have you realized that your cultivation method is wrong?

Honing one's battle aura to its peak is not enough to enter the supreme realm; on the contrary, concealing one's aura is the key.

With a casual swipe of his sword, Akaza, who was moving, had his legs severed without any doubt, and his upper body fell to the ground in a very disheveled state.

After three cuts, the blood-red color of the blade slowly faded, turning back into a dull, dark silver.

The trial card also has a time limit, even shorter than the time for the ultimate burst.

Kiyokawa Izumi's actions were not intended to insult Akaza—he was not unaware of the latter's resentment.

At this moment, it still wanted to use its feet to perform the Blood Demon Art and still had the idea of ​​continuing to fight.

Even though his hands and legs haven't recovered, his mindset remains unchanged.

Whether human or demon, it is difficult for anyone to take life and death lightly, and even the one in front of us is no exception.

It was incomplete and did not want to die like that.

"A hundred years, two hundred years, maybe longer... You've killed countless people, why do you strive to become stronger? And who is this obsession connected to?"

Kiyokawa Izumi absolutely did not want to become a demon, not out of pride, nor entirely out of disgust for cannibalism.

I just don't want to become so ugly.

Having lost all his memories, what difference would it make if he became a demon and lived on?

To become stronger for the sake of becoming stronger, without any motive or purpose—Kiyokawa Izumi doesn't consider himself to be such a person, nor has he ever met one.

Even he initially worked hard simply out of a desire to protect himself.

Becoming stronger requires a reason, a motivation. Akaza, with his incomplete memory, is unaware of this, and has even forgotten the person who inspired him to fight so fiercely, which is undoubtedly very tragic.

"Whom are you swinging your fist to protect? Why are you unwilling to lay a hand on women? Is it because, subconsciously, you want to protect someone?"

Why do they hate the weak so much?

It's because they feel that these kinds of people only know how to use underhanded tactics and don't dare to fight you fair and square.

Or is it that the person you wanted to protect was killed by such despicable people?

Amidst the chaotic flashes of blades, Kiyokawa Izumi spoke softly while his hands never paused—he didn't simply believe that saying some reasonable words would make the person in front of him give up the fight.

Whether you remember that memory or not, if I were to cut your body and head into pieces, how long would it take you to recover?

Hundreds of sword shadows overlapped and intertwined like a net, and the splattered demon blood stained his haori, but his expression remained unchanged.

He simply swung his knife calmly.

He simply cannot unleash thousands of strikes in an instant.

However, if the time frame is extended, it is still possible to achieve this under extreme burst conditions.

Even if you overcome your weaknesses, can you recover before sunrise, having been split into thousands of pieces?

Embrace failure with dignity and composure; stop struggling unjustly.
