The pillars were much stronger than in the original, and of the demons, only Kokushibo, the first highest moon, posed a threat to them. Although Kokushibo was a demon, but he possessed the breath of the moon, the breath of the moon was almost as strong as the breath of the sun, and was created at the same time.
Kokushibo, who fought with Gomei and Tengen, was very surprised and even shocked. During his long life, few could oppose him with anything, except for his late brother Muzan, who was the only one who could kill him, but today he was shocked from nowhere: demon hunters could wound and even kill him.
While he was thinking, Gyomi sharply hit him on the head, although the blow was quick and fatal, but Kokushibo still managed to dodge by tilting his head to the right. But when Kokushibo bowed his head to the right, Tengen's figure appeared behind him and abruptly chopped off Kokushibo's head. In the original, Tengen was fast, but he still could not reach the speed of sound, but with the help of Tengoku, after several years of training, Tengen's speed reached incredible levels. He could move at almost 500 m / s, and the swing speed of his blade reached 700-800 m / s, so his strike looked the same as that of the Atomic Samurai from One-Punch Man.
Of all the pillars, the Kocho group was the most effective. With one sweep of the Shinobu blade, he poisoned the demons, although the poison from wisteria was not fatal to humans and was almost ineffective, BUT for the demons it was their sworn enemy, one touch of the Shinobu blade and their combat effectiveness decreased from 50 to 90%. And weakened demons, Kanae was easy to kill, her floral style was perfect for this. And with their strength they took upon themselves Gyutaro and Daki, brother and sister.
Although the number of demons and pillars was nearly equal, the demons were the losers. Although demons had advantages such as regeneration and superhuman strength, only Kanroji could send any demon flying. Well, in short, the demons were losing.
While the pillars fought the higher moons, Tengoku fought Muzan. Muzan's instinctive avoidance was very annoying and surprising. Usually only animals had instinctive avoidance, since animals have a sharper instinct. (In fact, animals have more developed instincts, and their sense of smell, hearing, etc. are more sensitive than humans.)
But even in this case, Tengoku was not worried, because there were only 44 minutes before dawn. After all, even if Tengoku chops off Muzan's head, there is a chance that he will restore it again, so Tengoku decided to just wait and distract Muzan.
In the course of the battle, all the time passed and 20 minutes remained until dawn.
Looking at the brightening sky, Muzan again smelled death for the first time in 1000 years. Looking in front of him, Muzan looked at Tengoku with hatred, his dark red hair reminded him of the monster that nearly killed him.
Tengoku, who felt Muzan's hateful gaze, said nothing, Muzan was a terrible demon that killed a huge number of innocent people, and Tengoku was not in the mood to communicate with him.
