„————”

Silent.

death-like silence.

When the Oni's head of simultaneously one by one Upper Rank flying midair, falls on the ground, was blown Kochou Shinobu that flies is also good, protects Ubuyashiki Kagaya to hide in building Rengoku Kyoujurou also fine in fragment, at present this stirring one shaking at the scene eyes opened wide, lost all responses.

Their head blank space.

Their heartbeat stops suddenly.

They cannot believe the scene that oneself see at present, fell into to shock.

Especially sees Riegel to show the strength for the first time Kochou Shinobu, this meeting the delay there, could not have had the second response in addition again.

„pā —— pā pā ——”

In Ubuyashiki Family's mansion, the crushed stone rubble pounds to fall on the sound of place will also appear once for a while.

Here has then collapsed under the crazy thunder hurricane disaster thoroughly, could not see including a complete place.

Not is only Ubuyashiki Family's mansion, the area, is so exploded the one by one big hole in the bombardment of crazy thunder all around either, either disintegrates the fragment under assailing of hurricane, in addition sound wave, shock wave and blood-color air/Qi blade and wreaking havoc of steel knife sharp band being shattered, did not say the surrounding area kilometer, the surrounding area all within several hundred meters surely do not have a scenery are complete.

Even the mountain forest collapsed a big piece, the ground resembled is thin cut one, presented the soil eversion desolate headstrong scene, like a stretch of open land being developed.

But this just like post-disaster scene, finally by resounding through the skies pitiful yells breaking.

„it hurts......! it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts Ah......!”

„So will be why painful......!?”

„impossible...... impossible......!”

„It is not able...... the regeneration......!”

Urogi, Sekido, Aizetsu and Oni of Karaku group of four avatar fell to yell in the head of place simultaneously, in swaying back and forth that the ground went all out, as if very painful appearance.

Their that lost body also simultaneously of head to drop down, is unable to split, is unable to regenerate, like by what mysterious power suppressing generally, making the nape of the neck fracture places of these bodies brave the flame, is firing them, trades a pitiful yell of incomparably painful.

„How possibly...... how possible......!”

Gyokko that was known as that had is also cut compared with the head of diamond also hard scales protection, tumbled on the ground, let his oneself is the pain, was unbelievable.

„Three Upper Rank...... seven Oni...... split second...... strikes unexpectedly......!?”

Gyokko cannot believe that is also not willing to believe.

Obviously opponent only human.

Obviously Upper Rank on the scene is survival ability compared with Akaza also strong Oni.

But is such a crowd of Oni, collaborates, unexpectedly among were a blink cut the severed head......?

Let alone was Gyokko, was Gyuutarou and Daki screamed.

„Do not crack a joke...... do not crack a joke Ah......!”

Gyuutarou that nervous expression and aura of death heavy look had changed, became hysteric.

„Was head cut...... not only I...... also Little Sister...... split second......? By human......? impossible......!”

Gyuutarou understands certainly the gravity of matter.

Oneself and Little Sister head was cut together, this only means a matter.

They, are dying.

„Elder Brother! Elder Brother! Tries to find the solution quickly! Tries to find the solution!”

Daki as if also realized this point, finally collapsed.

„I do not want dead! Does not want dead!”

The big weeping sound that Little Sister collapses, lets a face distortion of Gyuutarou.

What means but can he have?

At this time is different in those days, present Riegel not only evolved Sun Breathing, obtained own Nichirin Sword, but also awakened new Skill, is completely different from previous and that time of Akaza fight.

Hermit deputed innumerable Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand and Scarlet Ore, massive Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand will condense Nichirin Sword that Gemstone builds with the Scarlet Ore essence, among solar light energy has had the qualitative change, to the Oni lethality by far in general Nichirin Sword, therefore by Riegel's Hermit cutting Oni, even if were not cut the head to be the same the probably direct radiation to the sunlight, the time for a long time will change to the ash absolutely rottenly, let alone was cut the head.

But appearance of 【Pioneer of the Sun】 this Skill, made the object of Riegel to evil attribute have special attack ability, had restrained their power.

This creates was Oni's regenerative ability is suppressed did not say, and being harmed also strengthened significantly.

In addition Riegel use sword form —— „Sun Halo Dragon ・ Head Dance” Eleventh Form in —— Sun Breathing, this move , not only can make the Oni wound place produce by the roaring flame ignition general intense ache, but also has suppresses the Oni's regenerative ability effect shortly, all sorts of factors overlay, was cut these Oni of head by Riegel, impossible has stood again.

This has attacking in one second!

From that fire dragon from the disaster dances in the air, but that split second starts, these Oni fates, had then been decided!

Ubuyashiki Kagaya is first person who realizes this fact.

„cough cough......!”

Instantaneously becomes excited mood, making Ubuyashiki Kagaya fiercely cough, was coughs to bleed unexpectedly.

„Lord!”

Rengoku Kyoujurou then responded, supports Ubuyashiki Kagaya hastily.

Ubuyashiki Kagaya actually does not pay attention to own body, in turn hand that held Rengoku Kyoujurou, unusual effort.

„Did you see? Saw? Kyoujurou!”

Ubuyashiki Kagaya's voice is shivering.

„split second............ was not Upper Rank of opponent is cut the severed head on only split second Hashira/pillar...... is three......!”

Ubuyashiki Kagaya was excited the tone becomes incoherent.

Rengoku Kyoujurou saw certainly.

precisely because saw, he can understand that Ubuyashiki Kagaya is why excited.

Three that in most powerful Oni powerful Upper Rank, even Hashira/pillar can devastate unilaterally, during hundred years have never presented replace the nightmare of human, the Demon Slayer Corps nightmare, now, actually in the Riegel front, cannot pass through including one move.

And looks at such, they have not as if been able to regenerate, is unable to get back, this is not really realistic, not realistic, even if were once saw similar Rengoku Kyoujurou some unable to believe in the Mugen Train event.

But even Rengoku Kyoujurou, Kochou Shinobu was needless to say like this.

„split second......”

Kochou Shinobu pours by the wall fragment, looks form that whole body flame and high temperature gradually diverge, in the eyes reappearing extraordinary splendor.

Changes to a Ubuyashiki Family dwelling of post-disaster scene, immediately is only left over an numerous Upper Rank Oni hysteric angry howling sound and painful pitiful yell, told others, all these are not the dreams.

In a while, the bodies and heads of these Oni then start to change to the flying ash entirely, gradually dissipates.

„Elder Brother...... Elder Brother......”

power weakest Daki first vanishes to disappear, in intermittent big weeping sound, vanished in a puff of smoke.

„.........!”

Looks at this, Gyuutarou as if shouted anything, vanishes until own Little Sister thoroughly, he delay there, stopped shouting, stopped the pitiful yell, like losing in life most precious thing, looks at own Little Sister to vanish the direction that after a while closes the eye, was also changed to the ashes by oneself.

„Why Aah...... is the body vanishing...... I dead............? So will be why quick......?”

Gyokko has not been willing to accept this reality.

Perhaps because of Riegel special attack ability, perhaps is the solar light energy of because in Hermit containing is really rich, originally should not vanished in a puff of smoke quickly, but can also insist that very long some time Upper Rank Oni, seemed to be dying at an exceptional pace.

„How my also many artwares must complete...... can die...... how can here......!?”

Gyokko mumbled a meeting, immediately remembered anything, will lose the sane vision to go to the Ubuyashiki Kagaya direction.

„At least...... at least needs to give the Ubuyashiki Clan person......!”

This is heart of the resistance Gyokko produces finally.

Kibutsuji Muzan confessed Quest that ; first, to investigate Tsugikuni Yoriichi, and massacres him ; second, goes back the Ubuyashiki Clan head belt/bring.

Coped with Riegel, Gyokko was unable to think.

But Ubuyashiki Kagaya's words, Gyokko felt, oneself before dying, in any event must drag him to get down together.

However, Gyokko just had such thought that he discovered that monster appeared in own front.

Grasps Riegel of black blade then not to know when arrived at the Gyokko front, occupying a commanding position is looking at him, after a while lowers the head, spoke a few words in his ear.

Those words, let Gyokko fierce eyes opened wide, looks at Riegel in the eyes fully is alarmed and afraid.

At the point of death before, this Upper Rank Five as if foresaw.

Foresees that supreme king, with the scene that this monster battles against at present comprehensively.

Has such foresight, like this alarmed and afraid, Gyokko is changes to a flying ash finally, the dissipation completely.

As for „pleasure, anger, sorrow and joy” four Oni, they had disappeared, disappearance is unexpectedly quicker than Gyokko one step, seems running away intentionally, escapes from this hell intentionally.

Hence, Upper Rank that all attacked the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, vanishes completely.

Riegel truly achieved.

He, one such as declaration from the beginning like that solved Oni.

„Died?”

Rengoku Kyoujurou subconscious whispering.

Who knows, Riegel heard, and shakes the head.

„No, should escape.”

Riegel's words, making the people be startled.

............

Nearby Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, by small town.

In a gloomy corner, small, only then Oni of palm of the hand size suddenly appeared here.

Top of the head grows the horn, surface such as old Oni of wisdom.

Impressively, is Hantengu.

This is the Hantengu main body, Upper Rank Four oneself.

How Rengoku Kyoujurou does not think, Hantengu seems like splits four, in fact, that four avatar only avatar, the Hantengu main body has actually hidden like in the hidden place, therefore genius of avatar can, no matter cut off many heads to regenerate the fission.

Only then under cutting the head of main body, Upper Rank Four Hantengu will be eliminated.

But the Hantengu main body has hidden in secret, has not appeared in the battlefield.

He should rejoice.

If not he not at the scene, even if he becomes such small, hides in the corner, Riegel can find him with Transparent World.

When „pleasure, anger, sorrow and joy” four Oni appear, realized Riegel that Upper Rank Four has split uses Transparent World to seek for the Hantengu main body, what a pity had not found.

Hantengu then therefore escapes.

But he cannot be happy.

„Fearful...... too fearful......”

Hantengu is trembling here, frightened incomparable.

„Must escape......!”

Remembers that to look like the monster compared with Oni human swordsman, Hantengu's innermost feelings is occupied completely frightened, starts crazy running away.
