Dragon of Greed.
After confirming that no third Upper Rank demon would arrive, Emiya summoned his Nen Beast.
A massive dragon, over fifty meters long, appeared above his head.
After absorbing an enormous amount of life force, the Dragon of Greed had grown once again.
If this continued, it might eventually become a monster spanning hundreds, even thousands, of meters.
Akaza and Gyutaro were both stunned.
"What the hell is that?!" Gyutaro shouted.
"Is it an illusion?" Akaza muttered instead.
The dragon's presence was overwhelming.
Even they struggled to accept what they were seeing.
"Eat them," Emiya said calmly.
At his command, the Dragon of Greed shot forward like lightning.
In an instant, it appeared before Gyutaro and opened its enormous jaws.
Blood Demon Art: Rampant Blood Sickle!
Gyutaro reacted on instinct.
He unleashed his Blood Demon Art to block the attack.
But the Dragon of Greed simply raised a claw.
Gyutaro's Blood Demon Art shattered instantly.
The next moment, the dragon swallowed Gyutaro whole.
Along with him, chunks of ground and nearby buildings vanished into its mouth.
As Gyutaro was consumed, his immense life force was drained.
Fifty percent flowed directly into Emiya.
Thirty percent was stored.
The remaining twenty percent strengthened the Dragon of Greed itself.
A steady torrent of vitality surged through Emiya's body.
He couldn't help but release a quiet groan.
The sensation was intoxicating.
No matter how many times he experienced it, it never lost its appeal.
After finishing Gyutaro, the Dragon of Greed locked onto Akaza.
Its tail swept forward.
Akaza didn't retreat.
His fighting spirit surged violently.
He didn't care whether he lived or died.
He only wanted to face a strong opponent.
Destructive Kill: Obliteration!
Akaza poured all his power into a single punch.
But the moment his fist collided with the dragon's tail, everything collapsed.
His power shattered instantly.
His fist was pulverized.
Then his arm.
Then half of his body.
Bang!
The dragon's tail sent him flying.
He smashed through several buildings before slamming into a solid wall.
With a dull crash, his body was embedded deep inside it.
"S-so strong..." Akaza coughed up blood.
Every bone in his body was shattered.
He would need more than ten seconds to regenerate.
The Dragon of Greed didn't give him that time.
It surged forward, grabbed Akaza with a claw, and dragged him toward its mouth.
"So... this is death," Akaza murmured as the enormous jaws drew closer.
The aura of death wrapped around him.
"I... am weak."
The next moment, he was swallowed whole.
While the Dragon of Greed dealt with Akaza and Gyutaro, Emiya spotted Daki trying to escape.
He grabbed her and casually tossed her toward the dragon.
She was devoured without resistance.
Upper Rank Six.
Upper Rank Three.
All eliminated.
After the three demons died, Emiya had the Dragon of Greed expel their souls.
Gyutaro and Daki reconciled.
Akaza regained his human memories.
He embraced the soul of his loved one, crying as he apologized again and again.
Soon after, the group of souls dissipated completely.
At the same time, Tengen Uzui arrived with his three wives.
"That's a very flamboyant divine dragon, Lord Emiya," Tengen said, staring at the Dragon of Greed.
A being capable of crushing two Upper Rank demons with ease was the very definition of power.
"It's decent," Emiya replied. "After learning Nen, you might be able to create a powerful Nen Beast yourself."
Suma asked timidly, "What is Nen?"
Emiya smiled.
"Ask your husband."
"If you want to learn it, join Hephaestus's Familia."
"Or trade something to me."
Tengen nodded.
"Lord Emiya, let's flamboyantly report this to the master."
"For hundreds of years, an Upper Rank demon has finally been slain."
"He'll be ecstatic."
And he was.
When Emiya and Tengen returned to the Ubuyashiki estate through an air-door, Tengen reported everything to Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
Upon hearing that Upper Rank Six and Upper Rank Three had fallen at Emiya's hands, Kagaya was overwhelmed.
"This is wonderful... truly wonderful," he repeated softly.
To him, this was a turning point.
For hundreds of years, the Demon Slayer Corps had failed every Upper Rank raid.
Now, two had fallen at once.
He believed this would shake Muzan Kibutsuji to his core.
It would buy the Corps precious time.
Once the other Hashira returned from Orario, Muzan's end would follow.
For that, Kagaya thanked Emiya sincerely.
In his eyes, Emiya had given them hope.
Emiya, however, was focused elsewhere.
He began fully digesting the life force of Gyutaro, Daki, and Akaza.
Upper Rank demons were on a completely different level.
Even several Lower Ranks combined couldn't compare.
A Lower Rank like Rui was already equivalent to dozens of minotaurs.
That alone showed how terrifying an Upper Rank's life force was.
To be honest, if an Upper Rank demon learned Nen, humans would stand no chance.
Creatures with such overwhelming vitality had an inherent advantage.
The Chimera Ant King, Meruem, was proof of that.
Not long after his birth, he defeated Chairman Netero.
Despite the vast difference in age and experience, Netero was forced to use the Poor Man's Rose to kill them both.
That was the advantage of raw life force.
If demons learned Nen, the Hashira would be helpless.
Even ordinary demons would be able to crush them.
And monsters like the Twelve Kizuki or Muzan Kibutsuji would be unstoppable.
Emiya spent several days fully digesting the life force.
His Nen grew dramatically.
It now surpassed that of most Hunters.
Even Menchi and Buhara were inferior.
Only Netero remained out of reach.
But worlds overflowing with powerful monsters were plentiful.
Surpassing Netero was only a matter of time.
...
Meanwhile, deep within Muzan Kibutsuji's base.
The Infinity Castle.
Kokushibo's vision blurred.
In the next instant, he found himself inside the castle.
He already knew where he was.
When he looked up, Muzan Kibutsuji's cold gaze met his.
Kokushibo immediately knelt.
As he glanced around, shock rippled through him.
Upper Rank Two.
Upper Rank Four.
Upper Rank Five.
All present.
But Upper Rank Three and Upper Rank Six were missing.
"Lord Muzan," Kokushibo asked calmly, "why have you summoned us?"
Muzan spoke without emotion.
"Not long ago, Upper Rank Three, Akaza, and Upper Rank Six were killed."
"They died at the hands of the same man."
"What?!"
Every Upper Rank demon was shaken.
For centuries, their ranks had remained unchanged.
Now, two were gone at once.
Kokushibo lowered his head.
No wonder Muzan was furious.
"Who killed them?" he asked. "I will avenge them personally."
"That man uses Sun Breathing," Muzan replied.
Kokushibo's six eyes constricted violently.
An unprecedented shock coursed through him.
Yoriichi...
After hundreds of years, has your successor finally appeared?
"Lord Muzan," Kokushibo said solemnly, killing intent surging, "tell me where he is. I will kill him myself."
Muzan was pleased by his reaction.
"You cannot underestimate him."
"This time, all four of you will move together."
"You must erase him completely."
The deaths of Akaza and Daki had triggered a deep sense of crisis.
Kokushibo hesitated.
"Lord Muzan, isn't that excessive? He's only Yoriichi's successor, not Yoriichi him-"
Bang!
Muzan waved his hand.
Kokushibo was sent flying.
A massive hole tore through his chest as blood splattered.
"Are you questioning me?" Muzan asked coldly.
"I wouldn't dare," Kokushibo replied, lowering his head.
Muzan's killing intent flooded the space.
"I don't care what methods you use."
"You will kill him."
"As soon as possible."
"Yes, Lord Muzan," the Upper Rank demons answered in unison.
In this state, none of them dared to defy him.
