Chapter 10: Chapter- 10 Infinity Castle
*** Infinity castle ***
"The infinite castle, if i've been summoned … it means a demon slayer has killed an upper rank" Akaza thought as a platform was escorting him to the meeting area of the upper-moons
JANG JA HA NG HA NG
Walking towards the desired meeting area Akaza is stopped by a voice
"Hee! Is it Lord Akaza! OH MY! Glad to see you're well! It's been 90 years hasn't it?"
"I'd begun to think you were defeated. 'Koff koff!' my chest was tight from worrying" 'hee hee!' Upper Rank 5 Gyokko
Hiding in a timidly absently awaiting the right time to speak "during the time we didn't meet Gyokko became uncountable in number. How horrible, how horrible. It's been 113 years since the last summon. An indivisible number … A strange ominous number,an odd number! How horrible! How horrible!" Upper rank 4 Hantengu
Ignoring rank 4's comment Akaza turned to the Biwa woman "Biwa woman is lord Muzan here"
!JHNG!
"He has not yet arrived"
"Then where is upper rank 1? Surely he hasn't been defeated" Akaza interrogates the Biwa woman A new demon appears placing a hand on his shoulder
"OH my, oh my! Wait just a second lord Azaka … aren't you worried about me? Asked the demon tilting his head while accompanied with a smile
"I was incredibly worried about everyone" spoke a pale white figure accompanied by multicolored pupils and snow white hair topped with crimson blood drenching the peak
"You're all my important comrades. I don't want to be without any of you"
"HEE! Lord Doma !" Gyokko
Replying cheerfully "Is that a new vase? Very pretty!! I put a woman's freshly severed head in the vase you gave me and used it to decorate my room." Upper Rank 2 Doma
"That wasn't for a head … but that's all right too" spoke Gyokko with renewed motive
"You must come visit me some-tim-!" spoke Doma prior to being interrupted
"Move" Azaka
"Hmm?"doma
"Get your arm off me."
!THONK USH!
Azaka nonchalantly plunging his fist into Doma's lower jaw exploding it throwing bits of carnage across the room
"YEEP!" Upper rank 4
"Whoa!"
"Ohh nice punch! Are you even even stronger than before lord Akazaka"
The Biwa woman finally responding to Azaka "Upper Rank 1 was called first. He's been over there the whole time"
!! Azaka flabbergasted frantically turns his head towards the direction of the upper 1
"I … am right here Lord Muzan" Kokushibo (the only other user of moon breathing other then Akito)
!!
Not noticing Muzan's presence every upper moon looked up to notice their progenitor standing on the ceiling seemingly opposing gravity draped in a black vest white undershirt and styled black hair accompanied with a face glowing with otherworldly beauty
"Gyutoro is dead, the upper ranks of the kizuki are incomplete" spoke Muzan with a monotone voice
"Can that really be so? My apologies! I brought Gyutoro in, so how shall I make amends? Shall I gouge out an eyeball or .." spoke doma enthusiastically
Muzan interrupting Doma spoke " that's not necessary you may keep your eyeballs. I suspected Gyutaro would lose. As I thought, Daki was a hindrance."
If Gyutaro had fought by himself from the beginning, he would have won. He should have fought after poisoning them, but it doesn't matter now .. "
"You're all worthless" spoke Muzan slowly spoke turning his voice more and more menacing with each passing second "
"You're falling in the order of who has the most human parts remaining. But that's fine. I don't expect much from you anyway"
"You're saying sad things again. Have I ever failed to meet your expectations?" spoke Doma enthusiastically
"You still haven't put the Ubuyashiki family in its grave, and now the appearance of a & moon breathing user being brought into view, Kokushibo, I thought you killed all inheritors of your breathing style."
"And the blue spider lily. After hundreds of years you still haven't found it. I no longer know why you even exist" spoke Muzan with veins bulging out of his whole face
"AIEEEEE! Forgive us! Please! Please!" upper 4
"..." Azaka
"I have no excuses to make. Ubuyashiki is hiding … skillfully" Kokushibo
"I'm no good at detective work. So what can I do?" Doma spoke sorrowful
…
"Lord Muzan! I'm different! I have information to bring your hopes one step closer! Just now I-" Upper 5
Muzan teleporting in front of Gyokko rips his head off holding it upside down within his palm
"I detest change. Changing circumstances, changes of flesh, changing emotions most changes cause weakness and inferiority.I prefer the Unchanging!"
"A perfect state unchanging forever. The first death of an upper-rank in 113 years it displeases me immensely. Don't ever convey such unpleasant information so gleefully again."
JANG WHSh Muzan lets go of Gyokko allowing it to fall
"From now on, you must struggle with greater desperation. It seems I have been too soft on you because you are my upper-rank servants."
"Gyokko, when the information is confirmed go there with Hantengu"
"Aieeee! As you wish! Hantengu
"Lord Gyokko, what information? I want to go too!" Doma spoke jubilantly
"No thats …" Gyokko stammered
"So you won't tell me?!"
Azaka fed up with Doma rabbiling, walks behind him and proceeds swipe Doma's whole upper head off
"Did lord Muzan give you an order? Get lost!" he said glaring at Doma
"SLICE SPLAT"
!!
Kokushibo fed up with this appealing queralling slices Azaka wrist off
"you go to far" Kokushibo
"It's all right lord Kokushibo" Doma
"I am not saying this for your sake. It peaks my irritation after finding out I failed at killing the inheritors of my breathing style and he disturbs the ranking even though I fear the cracks that form in Hierarchy."
'I must find the inheritor of my breathing style'
-Akito-
"I remember a quote that perfectly describes my situation "
" I think it was by shakespeare, the play winter tale "we were, fair queen two lads that thought there was no behind but such a day to-morrow as to-day, And to be boy eternal"
I think it means to embrace uhhhh the uhh…. Inner child within each one of us and to never let it go … something like that do I look like I fucking know.
But the reason I'm acting deep is due, to well the fact that I might've died a few hundred thousand times in the last 3000 days ( 60 days in the real world) and im trying very fucking hard to stay calm
"WHY DID I CHOOSE DIFFICULTY 6 DAMN IT" during the 3000 days I only defeated "Joe" (what he calls the black cladded figure) maybe 40,000 times. Sounds good right NOW compare
it to the 3,00,000 times I died, does that still sound good!.
The only reason why I'm still sane is due to the tittle I got which started to activate after my first death which is also the reason why my personality is still like that of a 14 year old
" why the fuck am I talking to my self again! Uhm never mind"
Standing up naturally glancing towards the same innards of the roman colosseum I've been seeing for the last 8 years, sighing I slimed
"I think I've grown attached to this lifestyle sad I'm going to be leaving soon never thought I would be a masochist kind of weird"

10-9-...2-1
BOOM!
Closing my eyes I focused on regulating my breathing and increasing my body temperature instantly
Which resulted in the creation of my mark
Now donning my mark I opened my eyes preparing my sword for the oncoming barrage of sword strikes
FWOOOOOOOOOOF
!!BOOM!!!
Moon Breathing sixth form - Perpetual Night, Lonely Moon - Incessant
After performing the sword movement I rapidly created a multitude of curved slashed with each slash releasing a barrage of crescent moon blades successfully blocking "Joe's" attacks while destroying the surroundings
SLICE SLING TING
"Joe" recovering from the barrage of slashes re prepositions going into a sword stance and ruches releasing his own flurry of attacks
"SLING SLICE TING XING TI-"
'Vertical slash perry, duck fuck that was a fluke, right no no left' screaming in chaos contrasted my outer face which was a large smile
"I'm going to fucking win this jack ass and finish this quest"
During the last 3000 days I was able to perfect the first to the 16th forms of moon breathing while incorporating them into my drunken style fighting
"Moon Breathing sixth form - Perpetual Night, Lonely Moon -!"
Prepared for my sword Joe got into the proper stance to defend, but that was just a fluke
"Moon Breathing esoteric art -
An Esoteric Art is a powerful, secret technique used by the elite demon slayers known as the Hashira. These techniques, often visually stunning and extremely effective in combat, are developed through intense training and experience.
But due to my circumstances I developed mine after a numerous amount of consecutive life and death battles
10000 days of lunar wrath" (i know cringe but what are you going to due about it huh big man..., JK)
Completing the movement A barrage of hundreds of vertical horizontal and diagonal curved slashes moving distinct directions making each slice resemble a constellation
The entity not being able to restrict my movement was bombarded with the attacks soon being defeated by the unpredictability of each slash
At that moment Akito resembled a Moon deity just sprouting their wings
SLIIIIIIIING SWOOSH XING SLIIIIIIIIIING …!!!
"Nice knowing you, and thank you for teaching me sensei … jokeing BITCH FUCK YOU AND FUCK THIS SHITY PLACE!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FINALLY I GET TO WAKE UP!!!!!!
As I was yelling in glee I was alerted with a azura colored panel
