"Every tear tells a story cause people don't cry without a reason"

The only ones present who could fight Muzan Kibutsuji were the girls.

Although Gyomei Himejima and the other Hashira could also hold their own against Muzan if they activated their Demon Slayer Marks, there was no need for that.

Activating the Demon Slayer Mark significantly shortened their lifespans.

In the original story, Muzan was ambushed by Tamayo, who injected him with a drug that turned him into a human.

Although Muzan eventually decomposed the drug, it transformed into an aging agent once decomposed.

This drug, created by Tamayo, could age Muzan by fifty years per minute.

Excluding the time it took for the drug to take effect, Muzan had aged at least nine thousand years.

Due to his accelerated aging, his speed and stamina were declining, and he couldn't even swiftly kill a few Hashira.

Even so, the Demon Slayer Corps suffered heavy losses before they could hold out until dawn.

Ultimately, Muzan perished under the sunlight.

This demonstrated Muzan's immense power.

Hearing Roy's words, the girls were eager to fight.

"Roy, let me go first!" Saeko, impatient to battle a strong opponent, was the first to volunteer.

Roy considered this for a moment. "Saeko, you won't be able to defeat him alone."

"Then how about with me as well?" Shinobu stepped forward.

"And me..." Kanae also expressed her desire to join the fight.

Their conversation was overheard by Muzan Kibutsuji.

He was enraged, his fear of Roy momentarily forgotten.

Never had he, the Demon King, been treated as mere prey to be fought over. It was an insult.

Furious, Muzan transformed his arms into whip-like appendages and lashed out at them.

The whips tore through the air with tremendous force, reducing the walls on either side of the alley to rubble.

"Saeko! Shinobu!" Roy called out calmly in the face of Muzan's ferocious attack.

Saeko and Shinobu understood what they had to do.

They swiftly moved to intercept Muzan's whips, their swords deflecting the attacks.

"Kanae, Kanao, you join the fight as well. Everyone else, stand back."

Kanae and Kanao joined the fray.

Roy, along with Makomo, Nezuko, Mitsuri, and Tanjiro, retreated to a nearby rooftop, as did the Hashira.

The reason Roy only sent Saeko and the others to fight Muzan was that they were all at the early stages of Middle-Class Devil. They needed a challenging battle to Improve their strength.

Muzan possessed the power of High-Class Devil.

If Nezuko and Mitsuri joined the fight, there would be no suspense, as both of them were capable of taking on High-Class Devils.

Makomo, being only at the early stage of Middle-Class Devil, was not ready for such a fight. She was there simply to be adorable.

With that thought, Roy gently patted Makomo's head.

The area around Muzan, spanning a hundred meters, was reduced to ruins.

Muzan wielded four whip-like appendages, capable of extending and retracting, serving both offensive and defensive purposes.

Each whip targeted one of the girls.

Saeko and the others were momentarily held back.

But they weren't content with being on the defensive. They unleashed their techniques.

"Thunder Breathing, Thunder Flash!"

This was a technique Saeko had created by combining Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash with Iaido.

It was as fast as lightning. Saeko's form blurred with a flash of thunder, and she vanished from her spot.

She bypassed the whips and appeared beside Muzan, slashing at him without hesitation.

Thwack!

Caught off guard, Muzan's neck was struck.

However, his neck was incredibly tough. Even Saeko's blade could only penetrate halfway before getting stuck.

Saeko swiftly retracted her sword and retreated, dodging the incoming whips.

"Wow! Saeko-nee-san's attack was amazing!"

"If I remember correctly, Saeko has only been learning Thunder Breathing for half a month!"

"Yes! She's incredible!"

...

Shinobu and Kanae were impressed by Saeko's successful strike.

To unleash such power after only half a month of training in Thunder Breathing and even develop a new technique by combining it with her swordsmanship was truly admirable.

"Unfortunately, it didn't cause any significant damage," Saeko said with a sigh.

"His regenerative abilities are too strong!" Shinobu exclaimed, watching as the wound on Muzan's neck instantly healed.

"Perhaps it's because Saeko isn't using a Nichirin Blade. Watch this..." Kanae said, stepping forward.

"Flower Breathing, Final Form: Vermilion Eye!"

This was the ultimate technique of Flower Breathing.

By applying pressure to her eyeballs, Kanae pushed her dynamic vision to its limit, slowing down the movements of everything around her.

Like a graceful butterfly, Kanae weaved through Muzan's whips, effortlessly reaching him.

"Flower Breathing, Sixth Form: Whirling Peach!" she shouted.

Kanae gracefully flipped in mid-air and unleashed a horizontal slash, her Nichirin Blade leaving a trail of flower petals in its wake.

The attack was as beautiful as it was deadly.

Thwack!

The blade sliced into Muzan's neck, but once again, it only penetrated halfway before stopping.

Muzan's neck regenerated at an astonishing speed.

Kanae had no choice but to retreat.

"It seems we can't sever his head," she said with a sigh.

Even Saeko and Kanae, the strongest among them, couldn't cut through Muzan's neck. Defeating him seemed like an impossible task.
