Rengoku's condition clearly wouldn't allow him to survive long enough for Ryuji to escape with him from Kokushibo and Upper Rank Three. If Rengoku's injuries were less severe, a tactical retreat would have been a wise choice.
A commotion in the trees behind Ryuji signaled Upper Rank Three's arrival. He stood beside Kokushibo, startled by Ryuji's transformation.
He almost thought he'd pursued the wrong target. If not for Ryuji's unchanged clothing, Upper Rank Three would have thought he'd lost him.
Ryuji's monstrous transformation greatly surprised Upper Rank Three, leading him to suspect Ryuji might be a monster disguised as a human.
Seeing Upper Rank Three, Kokushibo asked, "Akaza, have you finished there?"
Akaza, Upper Rank Three, shook his head and pointed at Ryuji. "That monster is the white-haired kid who killed the Lower Ranks!"
Kokushibo understood and reprimanded Akaza. "Then why did you let him get here? Even if he's as strong as a Hashira, couldn't you handle a single Hashira?"
Akaza showed no fear of Kokushibo, calmly replying, "That kid is incredibly strange, as you should know! I saw you forced back by him!"
Akaza's arrival made the situation even more difficult for Ryuji. Despite his Oni form, he was facing two powerful Upper Ranks.
Kokushibo's ability to withstand one of Ryuji's attacks demonstrated that a C-rank Oni Devourer couldn't easily overpower an Upper Rank demon; it was barely a 60/40 split.
Therefore, one of Kokushibo and Akaza could hold Ryuji back while the other finished off Rengoku, then they could combine forces to deal with Ryuji.
This was Ryuji's assessment. If Kokushibo and Akaza chose this strategy, Ryuji would be in a dire situation, as protecting Rengoku was his mission.
Thinking this, Ryuji retrieved the Time Rewind Hourglass from his Hyperdimensional Transmigration System's inventory.
Ryuji intended to use the hourglass to rewind time to a point before Rengoku was severely injured. Since he wasn't affected by the time rewind, he could remain by Rengoku's side.
The Time Rewind Hourglass couldn't rewind the entire world's time, only the time within a 1000-meter radius.
After taking out the hourglass, Ryuji pressed a button. Time instantly froze, and he flipped the hourglass. As the time sand flowed, time reversed. Rengoku, Kokushibo, and Akaza replayed their actions in reverse.
Ryuji marveled at the hourglass's power. It was truly incredible! Rengoku was truly the first person to have his fate rewritten!
Time quickly rewound to the moment Kokushibo's Moon Breathing, Sixth Form, Perpetual Night, Lonely: Interminable, broke through Rengoku's Flame Breathing, Fourth Form, Blooming Flame Undulation.
