"Did Nakime do something? Infinity Castle is starting to spin!"
Gyokko still hadn't realized his head had been severed.
And my senses are gone!
No time to think about this! I must quickly eliminate this Demon Slayer.
If I let this guy follow me into Infinity Castle, Lord Muzan will be angry!
"Huh? What's that?"
Gyokko saw his headless body spinning, then crashing into a pleasure house.
With a loud boom, the pleasure house was shattered into pieces.
Large beads of sweat emerged from his head.
My, my headless body...
I! I! I was, I was beheaded?
The shadow of death instantly enveloped Gyokko.
Beheaded! Beheaded! I've been beheaded!
"Impossible, impossible, unbelievable!" Gyokko screamed in terror, struggling to resist his disintegrating neck.
"Outrageous! This is an anomaly! This is an anomaly! I actually lost!"
"I actually lost to a Demon Slayer! The Demon Slayer I was just toying with!"
"I am a higher being chosen by Lord Muzan! A mere inferior human, an inferior human!"
Giyu Tomioka's eyes were calm, and he didn't say a single word to Gyokko from beginning to end.
"Water Breathing! Fourth Form: Striking Tide!"
Accompanied by water currents like a tide, multiple slashes landed on the continuously screaming head, and the piercing sound disappeared.
The ugly head turned into gray dust and slowly dissipated.
Giyu Tomioka adjusted his posture and descended towards the lower level of this 'Infinity Castle' composed of countless pleasure houses.
"Kibutsuji Muzan..."
The pale blue patterned nichirin blade reflected Giyu Tomioka's cold eyes.
"I will never disappoint Lord Xia Wei."
His body continuously felt the power brought by his skills.

With his current physical condition, he could charge up to fifteen times at most.
Instantly unleash a Swordsmanship attack fifteen times stronger than his usual.
This Swordsmanship strike would definitely inflict a fatal blow on Kibutsuji Muzan.
Perhaps a single strike could take Kibutsuji Muzan's life.
...
Meanwhile, in an abandoned slum on the outskirts of Tokyo, the slum was filled with a musty, decaying smell.
Mitsuri Kanroji, wearing a Demon Slayer Corps uniform with pink-to-green gradient twin braids, looked around.
"Where is it? Where are the bad guys? I've been searching for so long and can't find them!"
Grrr~
Mitsuri Kanroji rubbed her growling stomach: "Boohoo~ I've been searching for so long, my stomach is rumbling." Saying this, she took out a biscuit hidden in her clothes and popped it into her mouth, holding her cheeks with both hands, a blissful expression on her face: "Mmm~ Honey biscuits are so delicious~"
"Good thing I brought some, otherwise my stomach would definitely be rumbling~"
"I wonder if God likes human snacks? If God likes them~" Mitsuri Kanroji held her cheeks with both hands, her face flushed.
Tiny hearts seemed to be popping out of her head.
"Hehehe~"
She accidentally found a good man she could grow old with!
Mmm~ Although he's God! But God is so gentle~
"From now on, you are my miko."
"Miko! Miko! Hehehe..." Mitsuri Kanroji's mind involuntarily conjured up the stories of Gods and miko she used to read in picture books at home, and her body couldn't help but start swaying.
Although Lord Xia Wei's words at the time didn't mean that, Mitsuri Kanroji selectively ignored other terms like "kin," "priest," and "family."
"The power God bestowed is so embarrassing~" Mitsuri Kanroji pulled out a folded A4 paper from her embrace; this was given to her by God, and although everyone had one, hers was unique.

"(Incantation: Love! Sweet love! A girl in love will not be hurt!)"
"Love Aspiration! Sweet Love Wind! A girl in love will not be hurt!" Mitsuri Kanroji instinctively covered her face with her hands: "Wow! So embarrassing, so embarrassing!"
God's face involuntarily appeared in her mind.
So handsome, so handsome, so gentle!
Her reason for joining the Demon Slayer Corps was different from everyone else's.
She wanted to find a good man she could grow old with.
Because she was too strong and ate too much, every arranged marriage ended in failure, and she was even called a monster.
As a girl, she still wanted to find a husband who was stronger than her, wouldn't dislike her, and wanted to protect her.
After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, she was told that the "Pillars" were very strong but hard to meet.
To meet them, she had to become a Pillar, and she worked very hard to become one.
However, after becoming a Pillar, she found that everyone had their own ambitions and no thoughts of romance.
Even if there was a little disappointment, now she has met God! And become a miko!
Such a gentle and great God is the very, very, very... best good man! No, he's a good God!
"Ah! The more I think about it, the shyer I get! I don't even know how to face God anymore!" Mitsuri Kanroji covered her face with her hands, and the surrounding environment seemed to be turning cherry blossom pink: "After this, will we have God's children and such!"
"Just thinking about having God's children makes me so shy~"
At this moment, in the shadows less than ten meters from Mitsuri Kanroji, a hunched-over demon, resembling a beggar, was curled up, trembling.
"So scary, so scary, a woman talking to herself is so scary!"
Mitsuri Kanroji sensed a gaze and instantly looked over, her eyes brightening: "Found it?"
Just then, the sound of a biwa string rang out.
Clang! Clang!
Mitsuri Kanroji felt her feet go empty, and she began to fall.
"Eh—"
