"Nezuko's Strength"
"Nezuko!" Seeing Nezuko's complete transformation, Tanjiro was completely taken aback.
Meanwhile, Daki's eyes narrowed when she saw Nezuko.
A few days earlier, Muzan Kibutsuji had personally visited her and revealed some information. He'd emphasized one detail in particular.
Nezuko, a demon who had broken free from Muzan Kibutsuji's control and had never consumed human blood.
"You're the demon the Master spoke of," Daki said, several obis swirling around her. "Let's see how you like this!"
Before Daki could finish, Nezuko charged, her speed so great that even Tanjiro didn't react in time.
With a powerful flying kick, Nezuko aimed to shatter Daki's head. But to Daki, Nezuko's speed was incredibly slow, posing no real threat.
An obi shot out, its razor-sharp edge severing the leg Nezuko used for the kick. Blood sprayed everywhere.
Before Nezuko could react, Daki used her obis to send her flying, simultaneously slicing her body in half.
Nezuko flew backward, crashing into the ruins of a building.
Daki, leaping down from the rooftop, smirked. "What's this? So weak. She must not have been properly feeding."
But as she approached Nezuko, Nezuko suddenly stood up. Her severed leg had completely regenerated, along with her bisected body.
Daki's face was filled with astonishment.
"Impossible?! I clearly cut her in half! I felt it! There's no mistaking it!"
"Could she have regenerated that quickly using her own healing abilities?
That's impossible! That regeneration speed exceeds even mine!"
While Daki was stunned, Nezuko charged again, launching another flying kick.
"So stubborn. Even with your incredible regeneration, you can't defeat an Upper Moon like me!"
Seeing Nezuko's movement, Daki again used her obis to attack.
Several obis sliced through Nezuko, severing all four limbs, and blood splattered.
Surprisingly, the blood solidified in the air. Nezuko forcibly pulled her severed limbs back into place, instantly regenerating them.
"Blood Demon Art: Exploding Blood!"
With a low cry, Nezuko's blood erupted into flames.
Because she was so close to Daki, the flames instantly engulfed her, causing intense pain.
However, this wasn't Daki's main concern. What truly shocked her was her temporary inability to regenerate after coming into contact with the burning blood.
She tried to attack Nezuko with her obis, but they were reduced to ashes the moment they touched the flames.
Meanwhile, Shinobu Kocho's injury had pushed Aoki into a furious, unrestrained assault, overwhelming Gyutaro.
Even decapitation proved ineffective, and Aoki's reckless attacks were rapidly depleting his stamina—a fortunate situation for Gyutaro.
Tengen Uzui, behind Aoki, was equally perplexed, unable to determine whether the current situation was advantageous or disadvantageous.
"Aoki!" he shouted, "This chaotic attack is only wasting your energy! If this continues, we'll all die, including Shinobu!"
Aoki, momentarily stunned by the outburst, kicked Gyutaro away and returned to Tengen Uzui's side.
Gasping for breath, sweat pouring down his face, Aoki was operating purely on willpower, his stamina severely depleted from the frenzied exchange with Gyutaro.
"Calmer now?"
Tengen Uzui asked, noticing Aoki's regained composure. "Go help on the other side. Your junior's sister seems… unusual."
Aoki looked towards the other battle and saw Nezuko's drastic transformation. He was taken aback.
"Tanjiro!" Aoki approached the still-dazed Tanjiro. "What's going on? What happened to Nezuko?"
Tanjiro, roused by Aoki's touch, responded, "I don't know. Nezuko suddenly changed like this. I don't know what happened, but she seems to have lost her humanity and is becoming a true demon.
"We absolutely cannot let that happen!"
As Tanjiro moved to call out to Nezuko, Aoki grabbed him.
"Stay put," Aoki said.
"See? Nezuko's strength rivals an Upper Moon. You'd be instantly killed. I'll handle this. I'll bring Nezuko back."
Without hesitation, Aoki quickly ran towards Nezuko and Daki.
"Nezuko!" he shouted. Nezuko turned and launched a flying kick at him.
Aoki hastily raised his Nichirin Blade to defend, but the kick shattered it.
Looking at his broken Nichirin Blade, Aoki fell into deep thought.
"Damn it, another broken blade."
But he had no time to dwell on it, as Nezuko launched another flying kick.
He activated his Susanoo (First Stage), creating a defensive barrier, barely withstanding Nezuko's deadly kick.
The Susanoo was on the verge of collapse, but it held.
"That kick… rivals Tanjiro's headbutt," Aoki exclaimed. He tried again to awaken Nezuko.
"Nezuko, it's me, Aoki! Your brother's senior! I'm like a brother to you!"
Nezuko responded with another flying kick. Aoki could only dodge, the pattern continuing for some time, with no sign of Nezuko regaining her senses.
"No other way." Aoki gritted his teeth, throwing a Flying Thunder God kunai at Nezuko, teleporting before her just as it was about to strike.
His Mangekyō Sharingan, with its intricate patterns, met Nezuko's gaze. A dark gleam flashed from his left eye.
"Mangekyō Sharingan, Tsukuyomi!"
