Demon Slayer: The Tenth Hashira with Dōjutsu

"Another Battle with Daki"

Tokito House, Koinatsu's room. The ceiling had been shattered by some unseen force, filling the room with dust and debris.

When the dust settled, Daki, suspended in mid-air, using her long hair as support, saw Aoki holding Koinatsu and Shinobu Kocho standing beside him.

Shinobu Kocho's eyes narrowed as she looked at Aoki cradling the frightened Koinatsu.

Aoki, noticing this, gently placed Koinatsu on the ground. Seeing Koinatsu unsteady, Shinobu Kocho rushed to support her before Aoki could.

"You again," Daki said, recognizing Aoki from their previous encounter. Rage contorted her face, her eyes turning fierce.

"Why? Why do you keep pushing my buttons? You're not bad-looking, so why do you have to interfere?!"

Several patterned Obi Sashes shot from Daki, attacking Aoki and Shinobu Kocho.

Stepping forward, Aoki shielded Shinobu Kocho and Koinatsu, raising his Nichirin Blade.

"Breath of Devouring, Seventh Form: Wicked Yama!"

Crimson water-like energy swirled around his blade, making it feel incredibly heavy.

With a single swing, the Obi Sashes were sliced to pieces. Daki winced in pain, as if the Obi Sashes were a part of her body.

The remaining Obi Sashes retracted into Daki, a strange smile curving her lips. "So that's it. Stronger than most Demon Slayers.

You're a Hashira, aren't you? No wonder you're so troublesome. You can even cut my Obi Sashes."

"But even a Hashira stands no chance against me. I've already killed seven Hashira!"

As she spoke, Daki's tied-up black hair cascaded down, changing from black to white, enhancing her seductive appearance.

"Don't think that's all I've got. If I hadn't created so many forms, I wouldn't have been so clumsy before."

As Daki's form changed, Aoki and Shinobu Kocho sensed a drastic shift in her power, feeling an overwhelming pressure.

"As expected. My guess was right. A combat power of 4782 can't be that weak," Aoki thought, sharpening his senses.

"Shinobu, be careful. This one's strong," Aoki warned, without turning. If he gave Daki an opening, he could be killed instantly.

Shinobu Kocho nodded, aware of the danger. Any mistake could be fatal.

Just as the tension reached its peak, Tanjiro arrived.

"Aoki-senpai!" Tanjiro shouted, noticing Daki and sensing immense danger emanating from her.

This demon was incredibly strong!

Daki turned, her brow furrowing at the scar on Tanjiro's forehead.

"You're… so ugly," she sneered.

A sharp obi shot towards Tanjiro.

Tanjiro reacted instantly, dodging the attack.

"Water Breathing, Fourth Form: Striking Tide!"

He moved with incredible speed, leaving only afterimages visible to the naked eye. To Aoki, Shinobu Kocho, and Daki, however, his speed seemed agonizingly slow.

He repeatedly struck the incoming Obi, his hand trembling with each impact from the force of the blow and the obi's strength.

Tanjiro managed to deflect the attack, but he was drenched in sweat.

A wave of frustration washed over him. He thought his recent progress was significant, but Daki's casual attack shattered that illusion.

"Tanjiro, get back! This is an Upper Moon; you can't handle her," Aoki called out, not underestimating Tanjiro, but unwilling to see him injured.

Though reluctant, Tanjiro retreated, acknowledging his limitations.

Just then, a head popped out from the house beneath Tanjiro, shouting irritably, "What's all the racket?! It's late! Can't you let people sleep?!"

It was likely an employee or the owner, unaware that his outburst sealed his fate.

"Why? Why? Why are you all so ugly?!" Daki suddenly went berserk, dozens of Obi Sashes erupting from her, each sharper than any ordinary blade.

She carved deep gashes into the building and killed those who had peeked out.

Some were cut in half, others lost limbs, while some were decapitated, their deaths horrific.

Screams of terror and pain filled the Yoshiwara, transforming the once peaceful district into a scene of carnage.

Daki, however, showed no remorse, laughing maniacally. "Scream! Scream! Like roasting in a blazing inferno! All of you… die! Every last one of you! HAHAHAHA!"
