Then, El took out his old Nichirin and pairing of Hanafuda earrings from the storage ring. This action made Tamayo and Yushiro a little surprised. Because the two items seemed to appear out of thin air.
An interesting ability, similar to the Demonic Blood Art Technique. But, considering El was a human, it didn't seem to be a Demonic Blood Art Technique.
'What a mysterious man.' At least, that was what they thought.
Putting a pair of Hanafuda earrings on both ears, El then drew Nichirin from its sheath.
Seeing that, Yushiro immediately spread his arms to protect Tamayo, if anything dangerous happened. "Be careful, Tamayo-sama!"
"You two, please pay attention to this. I can only do this once." El said with seriousness on his face.
Then El took as many breaths as possible, trying to do Hi no Kokyu but the dance version, the breathing style that Tanjiro Kamado and his family often used, which was Hinokami Kagura.
"Hinokami Kagura: Jū San no kata!" After that, El inhaled as much breath as possible, which instantly smoldered like dragon fire being spewed out.
"Enbu." El performed a single vertical downward slash in a curved motion. It was as if Tamayo, Yushiro, and El could see the heat of the solar flames created when Nichirin swung.
"Heki-ra no Ten." Then El spun and twisted their upper bodies in a circular motion, unleashing a 360-degree slash. Due to the powerful force of El's slash, Nichirin's blade rubbed against the burning space of the air and followed Nichirin's gentle swinging direction.
For a moment, the darkness of the night around El seemed to dissipate. A shockwave was created, gently blowing away the night breeze.
"Retsujitsu Kōkyo." El swung Nichirin twice in successive horizontal arcing slashes around her. The residual fire from the friction of the previous move intensified, becoming hotter and hotter like the flames of the sun.
"Shakkotsu En'yō." After that, El performed a single slash with a rotating motion that extended right in front of him. The wheel of fire burning in the midst of the scorching sun was created by the blade's friction with space.
At that point, Tamayo was speechless watching El perform every move of Hinokami Kagura which looked so graceful, beautiful and dazzling.
Coupled with the flames that followed every movement of Nichirin's blade, El's figure transformed into a spirit that came out of a painting of an ancient god.
Memories of events from hundreds of years ago flowed like a river in the midst of heavy rain. The incident where Muzan, the enemy she wanted to destroy had been humiliated, toyed with, and bullied by a Demon Slayer.
After the incident, Muzan seemed to disappear from the face of the earth, suffering a defeat that was so humiliating and traumatizing until now.
Even without realizing it, the slash wound from the cause of his defeat still lingers and continues to burn his cells.
Tamayo smiled, seeing El's performance of Hinokami Kagura overlapping with the cause of Muzan's absolute defeat.
Next to Tamayo, Yushiro was no less surprised to see Tamayo who smiled happily while watching the movements of the mysterious man, who was in her yard.
"Shayō Tenshin." El jumped up, did a backward somersault then swung a horizontal slash, with Nichirin's blade burning with flames.
"Hirin Kagerō." As soon as her feet touched the ground, El rushed forward and swung Nichirin horizontally single-handedly enveloped in the heat haze that came from the friction of Nichirin's blade with space, setting the surrounding air on fire.
"Kiki Onkō." Once again, El somersaulted backward and swung a vertical slash in an upward spin. Until once again, El recreated the smoldering wheel of fire.
At that moment, El was still somersaulting through the air. Without waiting for her feet to touch the ground, El quickly performed a single stab motion like a flaming arrow fresh from the bow. "Yōkatotsu." El muttered in a tired tone of voice.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, El resumed his other movements. "Nichiun no Ryū Kaburimai." With Nichirin already positioned high, El hurriedly stepped up and unleashed a number of consecutive slashes.
In the process, a Japanese dragon made of fire was created around El who seemed to be dancing in the sky freely without any restraint.
"Kasha, Gen'nichi Kō, Enbu." El turned back and released a single vertical slash in a circular motion.
Then, El continued with a quick circular motion. However, it was still visible to the ordinary human eye because it was a dance version, not the original technique.
And then, El swung Nichirin twice in a row. It starts with a vertical downward slash, and a horizontal sideways slash right after.
With those graceful movements, El had managed to end Hinokami Kagura's dance sequentially at the beginning and mixed three at once at the end.
Coinciding with the completion of all Hinokami Kagura's movements, the six Tomoe in Rinnegan's eyes spun and disappeared one by one. El's breathing was labored, his face bathed in sweat, his body trembling.
Apparently, the consecutive use of the Jū San no kata without awakening the demon hunter mark was still difficult and too taxing on El's body and stamina.
That was why, El aimed to awaken his demon hunter mark in the world of kimetsu no yaiba. Apart from being able to make her an ace in a cornered position, the mark of the demon hunter can enhance Hi no Kokyu.
Of course, this was only known by El after she gained knowledge of Hi no Kokyu from Yoruichi Tsgukuni.
However, El didn't want to talk about it. Because El felt that it was not an important matter. After all, it's actually not entirely El's responsibility to kill Kibutsuji Muzan.
In other words, El is not really serious about carrying out missions in the world of kimetsu no yaiba. Although El had made many plans for the future.
All El wanted from the beginning was to deepen the breathing style and get the Demon Slayer Mark. For the purpose of killing Muzan, El could leave it to Tanjiro. Meanwhile, El facilitates Tanjiro's path and enjoys the results later.
But, last but not least, before meeting Tamayo, El replaced his title of -Sacrifice Leader- with -Demon Slayer- which made his weakened.
If El was still using the title -Demon Slayer- then his encounter with Tamayo would instantly become a battle without much ado. Given the 50% effect of increasing the target's hatred for the title wearer, it was certain that Tamayo and Yushiro who were demons would be affected.
"Ugh, my whole body feels cramped and my joints hurt. It's surprisingly difficult to do Jū San no kata without getting the demon hunter mark."
"Even though I've adjusted my breathing rhythm and reduced unnecessary movements." El said in a weak voice.
El was breathing heavily and hid face paled. Not only that, even hid point of view started to blur. El felt like the world was spinning around. Until not long after, with El's body staggering, he finally fell unconscious on the ground in Tamayo's yard.
