The chapter begins at the very moment the demons leap toward the circle formed instinctively by our seven heroes, each gripping their makeshift weapons with primal fear.
[Moamen screaming in terror]: Noooo! I taste bad! Try Ali—his cheeks are full of meat! Or even Mazen, he's deluxe!
[Mazen snaps at him]: Me?! Do I look like koshary to you, idiot? Look at your thighs—you're basically Mitsuri!
A demon roars and lunges toward Moamen, its claws reaching for his throat.
[Moamen, shrieking]: MOOOOM!!
Before the demon touches him, a calm, swift slash cuts its head off. Blood sprays.
Moamen's eyes widen as he sees Mehnad in front of him, smirking arrogantly.
[Mehnad cheerfully, twirling the sword]: That'll be 10 pounds for saving your life. I don't work for free, bro.
Moamen pouts while Mazen whispers to Ali:
[Mazen whispering]: Told you—even in battle he finds a way to make money.
[Ali whispers back]: Wouldn't be surprised if he starts charging taxes.
Meanwhile, Hudhayfa dodges demon claws, panicking:
[Hudhayfa]: Stop—ah—YALAHWI I'M DYING!!
But something strange happens—the demons begin clustering around Maaz specifically, seven of them circling him as if drawn to him.
[Maaz raising his spear, eyes narrowing]: Why are y'all looking at me like I'm chocolate?
The seven demons drool, roaring as one charges him. Maaz swings the spear, striking the demon's chest and left leg.
[Maaz muttering to himself]: This spear is rusty… one hit and it'll break… but maybe it'll—?
Suddenly, the spear tip snaps as a demon smashes it from the left.
[Maaz staring at the broken tip]: …I expected it to last longer.
A demon charges at him from the front, but Maaz grabs both its arms, flips it using a judo throw, and quickly gets back up.
[Maaz murmuring]: Gotta focus… at least my one-year judo course paid off…
A demon attacks him from behind, but he leaps over it with sharp agility.
[Maaz taking a fighting stance]: I don't care how many you are, idiots.
Elsewhere, Mazen fires a shot that nearly hits Hudhayfa.
[Hudhayfa screaming]: YOU ANIMAL—I'M ON YOUR TEAM!!
Mazen fires again, this time actually hitting a demon's head.
[Mazen blowing on the gun]: I meant to. Obviously.
[Hudhayfa glaring]: Sure. And I'm the Hashira of Gardening.
Back to Mehnad, who is slicing off demon heads flamboyantly.
[Mehnad excitedly]: How much does a Hashira earn? I want that salary!!
[Eyad raising a hand]: Probably paid in dollars.
[Moamen slapping him]: OF COURSE DOLLARS! You think they get paid in Egyptian pounds?!
A demon behind them prepares to kill Eyad and Moamen—but Mehnad slices its head off instantly.
[Mehnad smugly]: With Mehnad here, you're safe. We've killed like five already.
The demon stands back up—its head regenerating.
[Moamen whispering]: They regenerate, bro… we don't have Nichirin blades…
[Mehnad to the demon]: You almost caused inflation, buddy… but alright… COME AT ME!
[Moamen whispering to Eyad]: He'd probably charge Muzan rent in the Infinity Castle.
[Eyad whispering back]: Honestly? Him and Maaz are carrying the whole team.
Meanwhile, Maaz fights barehanded, dodging and striking with extreme speed.
[Maaz thinking while dodging]: There HAS to be a Nichirin sword… Someone must've died here… there must be a—wait.
He remembers an episode about abandoned Nichirin blades. He turns toward a patch of farmland near a half-eaten corpse.
Maaz rushes toward it, but two demons block him. He parries both.
[Maaz yelling]: GUYS! THE SWORD IS OVER THERE!
The team turns—Mehnad grabs the Nichirin sword instantly.
[Mehnad muttering]: Fresh piece… probably a few months old… value maybe 1,000 yen?
[Hudhayfa screaming as he fights with a shovel]: OI ECONOMIST! HELP ME!!
[Mehnad posing dramatically]: Hoho~ Time for the stance Maaz showed me.
Maaz leaps beside him, both standing shoulder to shoulder.
[Maaz smiling]: Let's get serious.
Mehnad hands him a second Nichirin blade.
[Mehnad smiling smugly]: Pay me later. Installments accepted. Molto or sandwiches also fine.
[Maaz grinning]: You're impossible.
The duo charges together, synchronized like a single fighter. They slice through demon after demon until the last head falls.
Both stand drenched in demon blood, lightly wounded.
[Maaz panting]: Finally… we did it…
[Mehnad collapsing beside him]: We… did… it… now where's Kagaya Ubuyashiki? I need my paycheck…
[Hudhayfa sighing]: Thank God we're alive… and of course Mehnad wants money.
[Ali shouting]: Who is this Kagaya guy?! We need to RUN!
[Maaz turning calmly]: Why run? We're here to change fate—especially mine, with my love–
[Ali facepalming]: Romance boy, I swear you'll end up inside a demon's stomach.
[Maaz coldly]: Say that again and I'll stuff you with vegetables.
Before another argument erupts, a heavy breathing sound shakes the ground.
[Moamen trembling while hugging Eyad and Mazen]: Guys… that's THE SAME MONSTER from earlier…
Maaz and Mehnad, despite exhaustion, grip their nearly broken swords.
[Maaz]: This demon is stronger than those 30… We have to finish this.
[Mehnad smirking]: Fine. First one to cut its head wins!
Hudhayfa steps beside them, eyes steady.
[Hudhayfa]: I'm with you. I felt useless earlier—but not now. I'm standing with my brothers.
[Mazen loading his gun]: I disabled friendly fire… totally.
[Ali slaps him]: Liar. You almost killed me, you watermelon head!
[Eyad & Moamen cheering]: GO GUYS! DO IT!
The giant demon—two meters tall, huge fangs, glowing yellow eyes—appears. Its gaze fixates hungrily on Maaz.
[Maaz calmly]: Alright… time to get serious for real. Ready?
The demon roars. Maaz signals a plan through hand gestures, and the seven rush forward together to face the massive creature.
