The first failure had occurred, and Alicetaria had fallen. Thankfully, Artoria was merciful; Alicetaria may have failed, but she did not die by Artoria's hand.
Watching this unfold, Alexander turned to little Sakura and said, "Sakura-chan, Mamika, take Alicetaria back for treatment. I'll handle this."
Alexander finally moved, setting his sights on his first target: Demon Slayer Lower Rank Five, Rui.
Mamika and Sakura nodded. Mamika immediately intercepted Alter Artoria, while Sakura used a flying card to transport Alicetaria to the central control room.
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for encountering a descendant from the world of Demon Slayer, Rui. Reward: blood demon art silk thread series."
Alexander dismissed the reward's usefulness. The blood demon art couldn't compare to Doflamingo's String-String Fruit. But Rui, unaware of Alexander's thoughts, looked at him excitedly.
"You... are you the Creator? Your smell... it's very good." To those unfamiliar, Rui's words might have sounded obscene, but Alexander knew what he meant. Demons gain strength by consuming humans, especially those with rare blood. They aspire to rise through the ranks of the Twelve Kizuki.
But Alexander thought, who gave you the confidence to be so arrogant, especially as the lowest-ranked member?
Shaking his head, Alexander mused, "In your world, only the Nichirin Sword and sunlight can kill you. I haven't tested if powers from other worlds can do it."
This was why Rui had managed to hold off the magical girls for so long. His immortality allowed him to fight to a draw. But Alexander, the creator, wasn't one to be underestimated.
With a swift motion, the Fantasy Killer scythe appeared in Alexander's hand. Dragging it behind him, he advanced toward Rui.
Everyone watching was stunned.
"Which anime is this character from? Have any of you seen him?"
"I don't know. I haven't."
"Wait, Alexander? I know him! He's the creator of those anime, including the Fate series and Demon Slayer!"
"What? An Author? Isn't this a new anime? How did an Author come out?"
"The producer must have a wild imagination."
As the viewers discussed Alexander, they felt their perceptions being challenged.
"What's going on? The Author is rushing at Rui! Isn't he just getting himself killed?"
"Maybe he's tired and hungry, delivering himself as supper."
"Is the Author crazy? He charged with a scythe. Even Sakura-chan abilities didn't work. Will this scythe?"
No one believed Alexander's scythe would be effective, not even Rui. He feared nothing except the Nichirin Sword.
"This Creator is reckless," Rui thought. "Let's see how strong I can become by eating him. Maybe I'll surpass the Upper Ranks!"
Countless red silk threads appeared in Rui's hands.
"Blood Demon Art: Reticle Wheel!"
This attack, using the strongest silk threads to form a giant vortex-like cocoon, had nearly killed Tanjiro. But as the dense threads approached, Alexander simply swung his scythe.
Rui was confident; his threads could cut through diamonds. What use was a scythe? However...
*Swish!*
A cold light flashed. Rui felt his head separate from his neck. As his body dissolved into dust, he had time to utter, "How can this be?"
In the next moment, his head, body, and consciousness vanished from the world.
With a single strike, Rui, one of the Twelve Kizuki, was no more.
