The Infinity Castle, controlled by Yushiro, was pulled out of the ground by Nakime, then completely lost control and shattered into pieces, and Musashi and the remaining demons from the Infinity Castle also appeared on the surface.
Douma, after Musashi's strike, seemed a bit scared, but that was only on the surface; his heart remained unruffled, as emotions did not exist for him, and all his displayed emotions were merely a disguise.
Akaza ignored Douma's words. After being thrown onto the ground, he quickly stabilized himself. Although he was very concerned about Kyojuro in the distance, the aura emanating from Musashi in front of him made him feel the aura of death.
When he wasn't drawing his Nichirin Sword, he seemed like an ordinary person, but the moment he gripped the hilt and drew the Nichirin Sword from its sheath, the weight of the entire world seemed to press down on his shoulders, making him feel as if he was defying heaven.
And not only that, he had already used his Blood Demon Art; Destruction Kill Compass was already activated. The compass, which had always been effective against enemies, now showed no reaction at all, not sensing even a trace of fighting spirit.
Although the sense of heavy pressure was exceptionally clear, his compass showed no reaction, which was the most shocking point for him.
This should be the ultimate realm of martial arts...
Akaza looked at Musashi, his heart filled with shock.
Behind them, the changes in the Infinity Castle did not affect Muzan. After being thrown onto the ground, he did not stop and continued to flee in the opposite direction of Musashi.
Akaza, Douma, and the few demons who had not been affected by Musashi's attack stood together, blocking Muzan's escape.
Watching Muzan's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Musashi quickly gave chase.
This time... there's no way I'll let you escape!
The Nichirin Sword in his hand glowed crimson, and Musashi's gaze remained fixed on Muzan.
The demons who had been left behind rushed fearlessly towards him. A red light flashed, and the smell of burnt flesh emanated as they were unable to even block Musashi for a moment.
Damn it! He's going to defeat them all by himself!
Sanemi grew anxious at this sight. He had finally reached the decisive battle with the demons, and winning without doing anything would make him extremely uncomfortable. However, Musashi's speed made it difficult for him to keep up.
At this moment, Musashi had already reached the two Upper Moon. Akaza instantly took a stance. Although he had already realized Musashi's power, he was not intimidated.
Fighting strong opponents was what he craved, and he had no regrets even if he died for it.
"Destruction Kill: Final Form: Blue Silver Chaotic Radiance!"
Without any superfluous words, Akaza directly unleashed his strongest technique. The compasses around his body instantly responded to his call and converged on him, and then, in the next moment, hundreds of blue-glowing projectiles were launched outwards from him as the center.
Akaza held nothing back in this move, nor did he show any restraint, even including Douma, who was standing beside him, in his attack range.
However, only he knew whether this was due to personal vendetta or the limitations of the technique.
"Akaza-kakka, I haven't dodged yet!"
Douma cried out upon seeing Akaza's indiscriminate attack, then quickly jumped away. But even with his timely reaction, he was still hit by the projectiles, and his head was directly shattered as it had been twice before, though he quickly regenerated.
Although it was unclear if Akaza did it on purpose, his action indeed struck an ally, making Muzan's already precarious situation even worse. Even though Muzan was behind Akaza, several projectiles still flew towards him.
Enduring Akaza's attack with his physical body, Muzan had no time to judge Akaza's actions and continued to flee forward.
Sun Breathing, Fifth Form: Infernal Mirror Wall
Musashi's peripheral vision noticed Akaza's attack. His gaze remained fixed on Muzan, and he held his Nichirin Sword vertically in front of him, tracing a path. The flames on the Nichirin Sword formed a mirror-like flame barrier in front of him.
Akaza's projectiles merely caused faint ripples upon hitting this flame barrier, having no other effect.

The crimson Nichirin Sword cut through the flame barrier in front of him, and the flames naturally clung to Musashi's Nichirin Sword.
At this moment, the flames on the Nichirin Sword even obscured Musashi's figure. Then, he swung his Nichirin Sword forward, and countless flame projectiles, similar to Akaza's recent attack, flew towards Akaza.
At the same time, Musashi did not slow down and continued to pursue Muzan.
Facing the dense barrage of flame projectiles, Akaza dodged most of them guided by his compass, but his chest, right abdomen, and left eye were still hit by the flame projectiles, which directly pierced his body, burning a hole in his chest and right abdomen, and directly taking a piece out of his head.
Difficult to regenerate!
Feeling the wounds on his body, Akaza immediately tried to regenerate. However, he instantly realized that all these wounds were as difficult to regenerate as when Kyojuro's crimson Nichirin Sword had cut him during the Infinity Train incident, and the regeneration speed was much slower than last time.
I didn't even touch his crimson Nichirin Sword...
Akaza, with only his right eye remaining, watched Musashi pass by him, feeling incredibly disbelief.
Akaza and Douma, the two Upper Moon, were also breached by Musashi in an instant. One of them even sustained almost irreversible injuries the moment they engaged, while the other, though struck by an ally, was thus spared from Musashi's attack.
So Akaza-kakka wanted to save me... willing to get injured himself to force me into a safe zone...
On the other side, Douma couldn't help but think this upon seeing Akaza's injured body. Even he, who had never felt emotions, felt a slight touch of emotion at this moment.
After forcing Akaza back, Musashi did not press his advantage against these two Upper Moon. Their respective tasks had already been clearly divided. Even if he could kill these two Upper Moon with his next move, there was no need to continue attacking. The most important goal of tonight's decisive battle was to eliminate Muzan, and Musashi's sole target was Muzan.
Even one extra move would allow Muzan to escape a greater distance, and more unforeseen circumstances could arise.
"Muzan, you can't escape!"
Free from the influence of the other demons, Musashi pursued Muzan with all his might, quickly closing the distance between them.
Damn it!
Upon hearing Musashi's voice behind him, Muzan's panic increased several folds.
Not only was Musashi pursuing him from behind, but Muzan's current body was also still affected by the medicine. The humanizing drug was constantly changing his cells. Although he could immediately devour the mutated cells, it still required him to expend additional strength, and the effect of the cell-inhibiting drug still persisted.
Facing this effect, Muzan had almost no solution and could only try to decompose all the medicine within his body.
