Their bodies crippled, their souls becoming the power of humans.
Such an end was unacceptable to the demons no matter what.
They were creations of Zeref and possessed their own pride.
Successive setbacks completely ignited the demons' ferocity. Led by Kyoka, the four Great Demons launched a final charge toward Hope.
Trafusa did not hesitate to consume his origin Curse Power, gathering all his strength to perform his 'Water Curse', unleashing a massive tidal wave radiating an overwhelming aura of death.
Storm and Esel also frantically poured their Curse Power into it. The jet-black wave immediately surged with energy interwoven with dark green and dark purple. Under Kyoka's final 'Enhancement', it crashed toward Hope, covering the sky and earth.
Facing this self-sacrificing combined strike that condensed all the Curse Power of the four Great Demons, Hope finally became a little serious.
He held his hands together in front of his chest, and a Magic Circle flowing with four-colored light was instantly constructed.
Light Demon Slayer Magic: Ultimate Flash.
A beam of light that illuminated the sky instantly swallowed the incoming torrent of darkness completely. In the blink of an eye, it pushed back, piercing through the four Great Demons.
Just one move.
The combined strike the demons had performed with all their might, along with that imposing combination curse, was utterly crushed. Esel, Trafusa, and Storm, who were already heavily injured, died on the spot.
'Demon Blade Curse', 'Water Curse', 'Hardness Curse', 'Wind Curse', 'Voice Curse'... They are all uninteresting powers, so I'll just count them as Demon Slayer research materials +3.
Hope lowered his hand, patted the non-existent dust on his shoulder, and walked toward the only demon still alive.
Kyoka, covered in blood, struggled to crawl up. In her eyes, Hope actually saw a reluctance and longing that one only has for a lover.
Do demons have love too?
Perhaps, but that's Hope's business.
With a slap of his palm, Kyoka instantly fell silent. At the moment her eyes were about to lose their light completely, she muttered in a weak Voice: "Seilah... you must live on..."
With Hope's hearing, he naturally caught Kyoka's final words. He immediately understood who the person she was concerned about in her final moments was.
Ryougeten Seilah, one of the only two members of the 'Nine Demon Gates' not on Underworld Island. It turns out demons don't just have love, but are also gay... I see Kyoka and Seilah are a pair of ill-fated lovers too.
Hope used Take Over on 'Kyoka's Soul'.
Kyoka's curse is 'Enhancement'. Hope didn't care about the Enhancements to other aspects, but physical Enhancement alone won his heart.
Endurance, size, length, thickness... even Magic Power can be enhanced.
This is simply a coward's savior!
"satan soul" consumes too much Magic Power, making it impossible for Mirajane to maintain her Halphas form for long. So from the beginning, Hope intended to give "Kyoka's Soul" to Mirajane.
No other reason, Hope just wanted her to be more durable.

Meanwhile, somewhere on Tenrou Island.
Two women with beautiful faces and curvaceous figures, who were normally gentle in their daily lives, were engaged in a battle completely different from their usual mild-mannered selves.
On the right was Mirajane, who had taken over "Soul of Lucifer". She had two horns on her head and wore a revealing, tight-fitting combat suit. The three pairs of wings flapping gently behind her were half holy white and half fallen black.
On the left was a demon who also had horns on her head.
Her level of exposure was even higher than Mirajane's, wearing a short kimono with slits so high they went from her black-stockinged legs all the way up to her waist.
One of the Nine Demon Gates, Ryougeten Seilah.
Her curse is 'Macro', which can control people and objects. Anyone who has been hit by the Macro curse can be remotely manipulated by her at any time.
Back at the regular meeting venue, Erigor, who attempted to use lullaby to wipe out the Guild Masters, was remotely controlled to his death by her after his plan became hopeless.
Seilah loves reading books and occasionally chooses to use books as weapons.
However, the books she used as weapons were all demons from the book of zeref who had already died and returned to their original book forms. Although they were dead, it didn't stop Seilah from squeezing out their last bit of value.
The collision of Magic and Curses stirred the air into a scorched haze.
The demon books Seilah carried had long been blasted into scrap paper during the fight with Mirajane. Realizing her opponent was not simple, she immediately used 'Macro' to fight.
A large amount of rocks and soil were controlled to float. Under Seilah's command, they shot out toward Mirajane like dense cannonballs, each one containing powerful force.
Mirajane neither dodged nor avoided them, relying solely on the physical Enhancement from taking over "Soul of Lucifer" to smash the incoming Stones one by one.
"Dual Take Over!"
"satan soul!"
A winged archdemon holding a greatsword instantly appeared behind Mirajane. Without a word, it flew toward Seilah and swung its sword violently at her.
The Dual Take Over developed by Mirajane was not about merging two souls of power into her body, but rather temporarily manifesting one soul of power to create a two-on-one situation.
Mirajane got this creative idea from Hope.
That guy was using his Magnetic Field Power to research some "War God of Hell," and it ended up giving Mirajane inspiration instead.
The manifested Satan possessed the same strength as Mirajane. In close combat, it suppressed Seilah to the point where she had to activate her Etherious Form.
Her fair skin turned pitch black, her eyes turned gold, and the quality of her Curse Power increased.
But no matter how much it increased, it was limited. Facing the tag-team of Mirajane and Satan, Seilah was beaten without any power to fight back.
With a heavy thud accompanied by the creaking of bones under pressure, Seilah groaned in pain. Her body was thrown like a projectile from a catapult, crashing through the rocks behind her and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Mirajane hovered above the ruins, the winged archdemon Satan standing tall behind her, watching the direction of the dust with cold eyes.
In the dust, Seilah slowly stood up. Her form-fitting kimono was mostly in tatters, and her body, which had its Etherious Form forcibly broken, trembled incessantly.
"Demon Eye Fully Open!"
Seilah forcibly stabilized her body. Her surging Curse Power skyrocketed again, and the golden light in her eyes burst forth. She was an Etherious from the book of zeref; how could she lose to a human?
Just as she was about to launch her final killing move, a Voice seemed to come from her ear.
"Seilah... you must live on..." Seilah's movements suddenly froze, and a hint of terror appeared in her golden, flickering demon eyes. "Lady Kyoka... could you..."
