Akaza is very strong, really very strong.
Although he fought Kyojuro to a standstill in the Mugen Train arc, Akaza held his own in the final battle at the Infinity Castle, even when facing the Water Pillar with his enhanced Demon Slayer Mark and Tanjiro, who had also activated his Demon Slayer Mark and entered the Transparent World. It was only after great difficulty that Akaza finally managed to behead him.
If Chinatsu and Kyojuro were to activate their Demon Slayer Marks at this moment, and with their Crimson Blades, Chinatsu would undoubtedly confidently and easily declare, "Let's both attack together and finish him off quickly!" But the problem is... activating their Demon Slayer Marks...
When the body temperature exceeds 39 degrees Celsius and the heart rate exceeds 200, overcoming the burning sensation in the body under these conditions will activate the body's potential, dramatically improve physical fitness, lock lifespan at 25, and cause special patterns to appear on the skin, which are called freckles.
To be honest, Chika doesn't want the Demon Slayer Corps members to awaken their Demon Slayer Marks, given that she traded her lifespan for power. Her dream is for everyone to be able to live a peaceful and normal life after Muzan is defeated.
In the original ending, some died or were maimed. Despite the theory of reincarnation, are they really still themselves after losing their memories?
Some might think that Chika's idea is too petty, but Chika would answer firmly in this way.
If they don't interfere with anything, then why would I join the Demon Slayer Corps? Anyway, Tanjiro and the rest of the main characters will eventually defeat the demons. It's just a matter of a few years; I can just put up with it. Do you think I'd join the Demon Slayer Corps just to get demons to beat me up? I'm not a masochist!
Since you've already interfered with the original plot, why not go all the way and strive for a happy ending for everyone?
Thinking of this, Chika unconsciously gripped the crimson blade in her hand. Suddenly, a strange feeling emanated from her body that was hard to describe. In Akaza's eyes, the fighting spirit emanating from Chika's body underwent a slight change.
This gas has such a strange form...
Chika raised her head and looked at Akaza in front of her. She took a deep breath and whispered to Kyojuro beside her, "I'll take the lead in attacking. You watch where you can slash him from the side."
Kyojuro, standing beside him, nodded in agreement.
Akaza possesses a "compass," which makes Kyojuro's surging fighting spirit a weakness. Even with his crimson sword, it's worthless if he can't attack it.
Moreover, it's still quite some time before sunrise, so the chances of holding out until sunrise are slim.
We have no choice but to fight!
Just as Chinatsu was about to take a step and launch an attack, Akaza's eyes widened, and suddenly his feet shattered the ground as he rushed to the front of her with godlike speed.
In Akaza's eyes, Chinatsu had already been stripped of her "female status," so let alone not killing her, he would go all out from the start!
"Destruction Kill - Annihilation Style!!!"
This sudden punch, filled with the force of destruction, was thrown towards Chika. Chika reacted quickly and immediately raised her Crimson Blade horizontally to defend herself.
With a resounding "Bang!!!", Chinatsu's feet left the ground and she was sent flying by Akaza's punch, crashing heavily onto the Mugen Train in the distance.
The surface armor of the Infinite Train dented directly, and Chika, embedded in the train's surface carriage, trembled slightly with her hands holding the Nichirin Blade.
Wow, so fast!
After sending Chinatsu flying again, Akaza didn't give her a chance to catch her breath. He ignored Kyojuro and tried to attack again to kill Chinatsu.
His keen combat instincts told him that if the two of them really teamed up, with the knife in their hands, they would be a very troublesome opponent.
Besides this, he also had a strange feeling that if he couldn't completely disable Chika's fighting ability, then there might be a situation that he couldn't handle.
Seeing Akaza preparing to continue attacking Chinatsu, Kyojuro's eyes narrowed, and he decisively took a step forward, with raging flames burning on the blade.
"Flame Breathing - First Form - Shiranui!"
Sensing Kyojuro's movements through his "compass," Akaza frowned and lifted one foot.
"Destructive Shot - Footwork - Flowing Light!"
Flames and flashes erupted in an instant, and Kyojuro was kicked back seven or eight meters, his feet scraping the ground and sending up countless pebbles.
Akaza's kick landed on the ground with a thud, and Akaza's face twitched slightly. The Crimson Blade was indeed very effective against warriors like him who used their bodies as weapons.
That's why we have to solve one of them in advance!
Akaza was clearly charging up with one hand and one foot, but the aura he exuded was on a completely different level than before.
Akaza's Blood Demon Art is called "Destruction Kill," which is based on "Destruction Kill: Compass," a technique that senses fighting spirit, and has evolved into a series of precise, rapid, and powerful martial arts striking techniques.
The "Chaotic Style" is a high-speed attack using fists as weapons.
"Air Style" refers to striking from a distance using the fist as a weapon.
"Kick Style" is a high-speed combo attack that uses the feet as weapons.
In addition, there is the "Shattering Style," which can unleash power through both fists and feet, and the "Destroying Style," which can unleash devastating impact.
Above these six techniques is a supreme technique called "Final Style," a move Akaza used in the final battle at the Infinity Castle in the original work. Even the water pillar with its mark activated, using its self-created strongest defensive technique "Nagi," could not completely defend against it.
At this moment, Akaza activated the "Final Form"!
Such caution was unlike his usual self. Part of the reason was due to Muzan's special instructions, but the main reason was his fighting instinct.
"Destruction Kill - Final Move - Azure Silver Chaotic Remnant Light!!!"
Akaza's punch appeared to be just a simple, quick strike, but in the instant he threw it, hundreds of punch pressure missiles flew out from his own direction toward Chika.
Each missile was incredibly destructive; a small portion of the missile struck the train's armor, causing the sturdy armor to dent instantly.
Most of the missiles that were launched had precise coordinates, and the carriage that was hit by most of them was torn in two, with explosions and thick smoke engulfing it.
Akaza exhaled. This attack was no ordinary 100%; it was at least 120%. After being hit by both "Annihilation Style" and "Final Style" in succession, even if she were still alive, she certainly wouldn't be able to get up.
As Akaza was thinking this, he suddenly turned to the side and dodged Kyojuro's fiery slash from an angle.
Akaza's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Although the Crimson Blade suppressed his regeneration, it did not completely prevent him from regenerating. It just meant that he could not regenerate immediately. Since being injured by Chika, his arm had regenerated by almost half.
He looked at Kyojuro, who was charging towards him with all his might, and said with a smile, "Kyojuro, it's a real pity that I couldn't make you a demon, but I will kill you with all my might!"
