Kokusibo and Akaza stared at El who stood with a body full of horrific wounds. His skin was slashed, oozing fresh blood, while his demon hunter uniform was in tatters, even the hanafuda he wore was almost shapeless.
The Demon Slayer Mark that had previously provided tremendous power was now extinguished, like a candle flame in the wind.
Although Rinnegan was still active, the tomoe that normally orbited had vanished, leaving a ripple pattern with tired-looking eyes.
El took a deep breath, opening his mouth in a weak yet determined voice, "I said fight me... kill me if you want that blood," he said, grinning faintly despite the pain.
Despite his body nearly collapsing, El still maintained her fighting stance, showing his unfading spirit. Kokusibo and Akaza remained silent, observing El who had reached the limit of his strength.
With wordless understanding, the two demons agreed to give El one last chance, as a form of respect.
They stood, waiting for El's final attack, a sign of respect for a fighter who never gave up, before they would finally end this battle.
With the last of his strength left, El stood tall, his feet firmly planted on the cracked wooden floor. His left leg was in front, slightly bent, while his right leg was behind, supporting the full weight of his body. His body leaned forward, but remained stable, like a dancer ready to take an elegant yet deadly leap.
El's hand grasped Metsu firmly, the blade pointed downward parallel to the floor. His arms were slightly bent, positioning the sword at his sides, right near right hip. His back was straight, and his shoulders were slightly relaxed, a quiet readiness, yet filled with menace.
Akaza looked at El warily. He could sense the final intent in El's demeanor, preparing for the attack that had once nearly finished his. An attack so powerful, it could have taken his life, but El did not.
"Jutsushiki Tenkai," Akaza said in a low but firm voice, taking a typical Soryu-style stance. Instantly, blue ice flowers appeared beneath his feet, emitting an electrifying cold aura.
Seeing Akaza's alertness, Kokusibo immediately guessed that El's final attack would be very dangerous. Preparing a sword created from flesh and blood, Kokusibo positioned it in Waki-no-Kame, ready to anticipate anything that might happen.
In an eerie silence, El took a deep breath, and instantly, the air around his rippled with heat, almost like an invisible blaze. With incredible strength, she swung Metsu to the floor below her.
Slash!
The floor instantly shattered, causing El to tumble and fall into the depths of Infinite Castle. Kokusibo and Akaza stood frozen for a moment, frowning, not expecting El's final attack to seem like a suicide, falling into the darkness.
However, the strangeness was immediately apparent. After El's fall, the two demons sensed something odd. El's existence vanished without a trace, completely lost to their smell and senses. Even if only his corpse remained, they should have been able to detect it.
"What's going on?" murmured Akaza, confusion written all over his face.
Kokusibo, who had been silent, walked over and stared at the spot where El was last seen. "Missing? How come?" he said, just as confused as Akaza.
Somewhere inside Infinite Castle, Muzan seemed to be overwhelmed with rage. He could feel El's existence vanish into thin air, without a trace from his territory.
The veins on his forehead and arms writhed wildly, almost exploding with his emotions. "Damn it! Just a little more!" he snapped, his voice like boiling lava.
After a moment, however, Muzan took a deep breath, holding back his anger. "No problem," she said with a sharp grin. "After all, I didn't have much hope for them in the first place."
Then, without hesitation, he shouted, "Nakime, speed up the search for Demon Slayer, Ubuyashiki and Nezuko Kamado!"
{N/A: What's wrong? Are you expecting MC's fight against Muzan? Wkwk, MC has reached his limit, if he fights Muzan he will die, after all, all his goals have been completed, right? Don't complain}
***
In a narrow room with dark brick walls, dim lighting and only one red wooden door. Currently, El's body was lying helplessly on the floor.
Suddenly, his entire body was enveloped in a softly glowing white light. In an instant, all the wounds on his body began to heal, the damaged internal organs, both arms, and broken bones recovered back to normal.
In fact, the stamina and mental fatigue that gnawed at his body recovered completely, as if there were no battle scars left behind. Except that the clothes he wore still remained in tatters.
In less than an hour, El's body looked healthy and refreshed. He got up from the floor and did some light stretching. "Fortunately, the Beyonder who returned from the mission will get a healing facility. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for me to move around to buy some of the healing potions in the system catalog."
Suddenly, a notification alert and mission page appeared right in front of El.
El immediately took out all the demon blood he had collected in the item storage ring, except for the 3 blood-filled injections that could turn someone into a Demon Progenitor and Nezuko Kamado's demon blood.
El planned to sell the injections containing the blood that could turn someone into a Demon Progenitor. Meanwhile, he would keep Nezuko Kamado's demon blood and use it for certain purposes, which were definitely not for perverted things.
Quickly, all the demon blood that El took out from inside the Item Storage Ring, turned into data particles that looked like numeric numbers and vanished without a trace.
