Chapter 31 - Valid Crashout

[AN: Extra chapter for 69 stones lmao, nice one lads]

As far as dramatic entrances go… I feel like dragging the battered unconscious body of an Upper Ranked demon was up there. Though he wasn't an upper moon just yet, he still had the strength of one. Unfortunately for Kaigaku he had run into me. 

I had asked nicely for any information he had about Daki. He had so kindly given me the information after I peeled the skin off his arms only to heal him several times over. 

See, I was being nice… I healed him with my cursed energy.

I focused back on Uzui, Daki, and Gyutaro. Everyone was tense, Gyutaro more so than anyone else. 

"Nee-chan… this one is dangerous." He said in his raspy voice. 

Daki scoffed, ignoring his warning. I grinned, 'Good… underestimate me.'

I turned to Uzui, ignoring the demons. "Oi, Temu Minato, I'll handle these two chumps. Go get your wives, this rat bastard gave me information that they're underneath the Ogimoto House." 

"YOU TRAITEROUS COWARD!!!" Daki screeched as she charged forward attempting to kill Kaigaku who was still lying on the ground unconscious. 

Tengen moved but I moved faster, with a kick I launched Daki through several houses. Her body crashing through the buildings like they were paper. 

"First off, rude…" I lowered my foot, "don't interrupt the grown ups when they're talking. Now… go on Tengen, go grab our women." 

Uzui hesitated at first, but seemingly remembering my strength he grinned. He called back to me as he dashed towards the Ogimoto House,

"Don't hog all the fun, I'll be back to show you how to make a proper flashy entrance." He promised to return. 

I waved at him cheerfully, still ignoring the demon siblings. Gyutaro had retrieved Daki from where she had landed. The hunched demon glared hatefully at me while clawing at his own body. 

"Unfair… do unfair… why are you—

"So handsome?" I interrupted him, "obviously I'd be handsome… I am the strongest after all." I let my patented cocky smirk form on my face. 

"Y-you wretch!!!" Gyutaro roared as he rushed forward, 

Daki jumped onto a roof to try and flank me, I let my smirk morph into a grin that would have been normally found on Sukuna's face. 

"Now… just us three, let's have some fun yeah? Don't disappoint me now." 

I drew my nichirin blade, determined to drag out their deaths for as long as I could. 

[Scene Break]

Gyutaro blurred forward, blood sickles screaming in twin arcs towards my chest. Daki leapt from the roof, her obi sashes shooting towards me like spears. 

"Sun Breathing… first form." I announced my attack like a typical shonen protagonist. 

There was no real reason for it, but I felt like I had to give this fight some flavour. A dash of chuuni spirit to go with the absolute beat down I was about to hand out to the sibling demons. 

I cut through Daki's sashes like paper, and in the same motion deflected Gyutaro's strike. The two jumped back and reengaged. Their coordination was surprising considering how much they supposedly argued. 

Gyutaro was on me again in an instant, his twin sickles locking onto my blade sending sparks flying around. He was undoubtedly fast, his attacks were jagged but deliberate. 

"Your technique is interesting…" I teased, as I parried one while pivoting past the other, "if I squint hard enough, I could almost call it pretty." 

Gyutaro snarled, "Don't mock me brat!" His blood demon art exploded. Waves of slashing blood ripped across the street. 

Buildings hit by the blades of blood shook, some smaller ones were even destroyed. I leapt into the air, blocking another one of Daki's attacks as I flipped. 

"Third Form…Raging Sun." 

My nichirin blade cut through two blood waves, Limitless blocked one I had missed. Blood splattered on my barrier, hissing as it hit the ground. 

'Right… poisonous blood. Not that it matters, Limitless is a hack.' 

Having landed below me, Daki lashed her obi in a wave of ribbons. Each strike had the potential to cut through stone like butter. Her attack covered multiple angles, leaving little room to dodge.

I smiled, twisting midair. My body weaving through her attacks with the help of both Blue and Limitless. My blade flashed again, cutting her sashes one by one. 

"This is supposed to be fun guys… come on, ganbare ganbare. You can do it, I believe in you." I mocked with a grin as I landed. 

Gyutaro lunged again. His rhythm changed, sharp, syncopated, erratic. His rage taking over his formerly linear attack pattern. The sickles screeched as they clashed against my blood red nichirin blade. 

I dodged more of their attacks, none of them landing a hit on me. I landed numerous shallow cuts on their bodies. Their wounds hissing as if cauterised. My red blade hindering their healing factors. 

I stabbed Gyutaro through the chest. The demon grabbed my blade and tried to yank it from my grip. I held on firmly, grinning at the annoyance on his face. 

Then Daki spoke, she sniffed the air and sneered at me.

"I see, that big breasted whore was yours then?" 

It was like the air itself stilled, my grip loosened on my blade as Gyutaro jumped back. My sword still buried in his chest. I slowly turned my head towards Daki. 

"What the fuck did you just say?" 

Daki grinned wider, "I knew you smelled familiar… your scent was all over her. Sweet little thing, she screamed so nicely when I cut into her." 

My mind went quiet, cold rage filled my veins. Then it was replaced by an unearthly calm. 

Daki tilted her head, unaware of the danger she was in as she stepped forward to gloat some more. "Do you know how soft she sounded? Crying out for her Satoru-kun? How much I fun I had when I—

My smile was long gone. Gyutaro, seemingly believing that he had an opening, tried to use my own blade against me. Limitless caught the blade mid air. Sparks flying as it smashed against my invisible barrier. 

The air shattered as I moved, in a blink I was in front of Daki my hand wrapped around her throat as I lifted her up. 

"Shut the fuck up…" I muttered. 

Gyutaro attacked again, his blades freezing mid air before they could even get an inch away from me. I slowly turned to him. My voice was cold, calm, no hint of emotion. 

"Did you think your loser shit would hit me after everything you tried?" 

Daki struggled against my grip, her face morphed into one of fear as I tightened my grip. I kicked Gyutaro away and turned my attention back to Daki. I grabbed one of her arms, tender at first but my grip turned vicious as I ripped her arm clean off. 

Daki screamed, Gyutaro roared as he charged back in. I threw Daki towards him, making him abandon his attack to catch her. I raised a single hand, finger twisted behind the other. 

"Ryoiki Tenkai… Muryokusho." 

Reality shifted as my cursed energy surged outwards forming my domain. Daki and Gyutaro who had been standing up stiffened as their brains were flooded with waves of information. 

Then I clasped my hands. Pushing more cursed energy into the technique I was about to unleash. Arcs of purple lighting crackled around my hands. Two orbs merged, blue and red as I slowly unclasped my hands. 

Making a flicking motion I looked at the two frozen demons dispassionately. "Repent for your sins in the afterlife." 

"Kyoshiki-Murasaki…" (Hollow Purple) 

I flicked the glowing purple orb towards the still frozen demons. The light extended into a violent beam of eradication. Daki, Gyutaro, and everything behind them vanished as if it had never existed. 

I had kept it fairly contained, only a dozen or so houses had been vaporised into nothingness. I dropped my domain and let out a breath. My thoughts swirling in my head as I looked down at my hands. 

'I'm sorry, Mitsuri… I failed… I—

"Satoru-kun!!!!"
