"Alright... Stay focused... I've spent the last 20 days preparing for this moment, this battle. No matter what stands in my way, I will fight!" Ishida reminded himself.
The attacks came relentlessly, but Ishida relied on his ability to sense his surroundings, allowing him to see through the darkness. As some attacks got dangerously close, he skillfully used his blade to block and deflect them.
After continuously dodging and parrying a barrage of attacks, Ishida began to feel the immense pressure of their force.
It became clear to him why he had been entrusted with this mission now. This challenge was three times tougher than anything he had faced before in his previous quest.
He found himself with no room to maneuver, as demons encircled him, launching attacks from every direction one after the other.
"Alright, now it's my turn!" he declared. With a burst of agility, he expertly dodged all the attacks and swiftly moved to the other side of the room, creating a significant gap between himself and the demons.
The demons took a moment to realize Ishida's new position, but once they did, they charged at him again, launching a fresh wave of attacks.
Seizing the opportunity, Ishida steadied himself and raised his blade in front of him. "Now it's my turn!" he murmured, taking a deep breath to channel his energy into the weapon. "Moon Breathing First Form..." he proclaimed, moving swiftly toward the demons. "Dark Moon, Evening Palace!" With those words, Ishida swung his blade in a graceful horizontal arc, creating a crescent shape. In an instant, a storm of chaotic crescent blades erupted from his sword, surging toward the approaching demons.
As Ishida unleashed his attack, the crescent-shaped slash sent a swirling storm of blades slicing through the air with deadly accuracy. The chaotic crescents tore through the demons with unstoppable force, catching them completely off guard.
The demons, unable to respond quickly enough to the sudden and fierce assault, were hit by the crescent blades. In mere moments, three demons were obliterated, their bodies turning to ash and vanishing without a trace.

After defeating the first three demons, Ishida felt a surge of confidence wash over him. He knew he still had many enemies to face, so he kept his focus sharp on the battle ahead.
With steady hands, he skillfully dodged the oncoming attacks that followed his initial victory. His confidence bolstered, Ishida prepared himself for the next wave of demons charging toward him. He gripped his blade tightly, declaring with unwavering determination, "I am not done yet!" Each move he made was fueled by his resolve to overcome the remaining threats.
Taking a deep, steady breath, Ishida refocused his mind on the battle, the demons, and his blade. "Moon Breathing Second Form: Pearl Flowers Moongazing!" he shouted, springing into action with renewed vigor.
With a flurry of graceful movements, his blade danced through the air, unleashing a rapid barrage of crescent-shaped slashes. The crescents flew outward in a dazzling display, resembling a shower of shimmering petals illuminated by the moonlight.
The speed and precision of the attack were overwhelming, catching several demons in its path.
Unable to withstand the relentless onslaught, the demons fell one by one. The crescent slashes sliced through their defenses, cutting deeply and leaving them utterly vulnerable.
Amidst the chaos, five more demons were incapacitated, their forms crumbling into ash and scattering in the wake of the powerful attack.

Ishida took a brief moment to assess his situation. Fatigue was beginning to set in, but the success of his second form invigorated his resolve. He knew he needed to end the battle decisively.
Without hesitation, Ishida transitioned into the next technique. "Moon Breathing Third Form: Loathsome Moon, Chains!" he declared with fierce concentration.
His blade moved in a complex, intertwining pattern, creating a series of slashes that resembled chaotic chains. The attack surged forward, expanding outward in multiple directions. The remaining demons, now fewer in number, found themselves ensnared by the intricate web of slashing arcs.
The chained crescents tore through the remaining demons, their chaotic motion leaving no room for escape.
Overwhelmed by the multifaceted attack, the demons succumbed to the relentless onslaught.
