---
The full moon was shown in the sky as the sound of clashing can be heard from the ground below.
On the ground, two swordsmen are seen swinging their sword and clashing. Fear was running in Tokioka's body but still fights on against a sword-wielding demon with a kaijn saying upper moon one. Meanwhile Kokushibo on the other hand was calm with a stoic look on his face using transparent world reading and prodicting Tokioka's attack.
Blue attacks fricely at the demon but it was all in vain as Kokushibo keeps reading his every move like a book.
"Shadow steps!"
"I need to out speed him!"
Blue runs around Kokushibo trying to get in finding a opening to cut his head off. He makes a hit-and-run move, but the upper moon still sees his move again and deflects Tokioka. Time slows down for a few seconds for both fighters as they both make their moves.
Tokioka runs behind him but Kokushibo's speed and reaction time is more superior grabbing him by the back of his uniform rising him in the air to slam him to the ground.
'Shit he got me! I can't let him have his way!'
Blue twist himself and spins 360 along with his sword ready to cut anything into contact using a his breathing form.
"Shadow Breathing Fourth Form: Shadowy Vortex"
Kokushibo throws Tokioka and retracts his arm back. The latter stops spinning and lands on the ground and runs to Kokushibo again. Upper moon 1 draws his flesh katana unleashing a sword beam with chaotic moon blades. Not wanting to get carved up by all of the blade he slides under the chaotic beam going under Kokushibo's legs to throw him off balance.
The blade was just an inch away but the demon swordsman flips in above Blue looking down on him. Tokioka gets up and swings his sword turning around and slashing out a shadow blade projectile. The black beam gets cut in half by the flesh blade not landing a hit on upper moon one.
'I can land a hit on him because he's making annoying plans! He's seeing my attack and reading my every move! He wants me to make the wrong move knowing how powerful he is he can end this all quickly! I cant let him get to me and focus.' He said to himself.
Blue blurs out with an after-math image appearing in front of Kokushibo. Both of them clash there katanas as they're breathing technics and arts appear seeing the chaotic moon blades and shadow energy.
The upper moon was fixed on the style impressed seeing how new it was but wonders why Blue hasn't learned mist breathing.
Kokushibo: not bad... You have some skill.
'I need to watch out for those moon blades. His speed and reaction time is beyond a another dimension!'
"Coming from some who uses his blood demon for his breathing style." Blue declined the demons compliment attack with conservative slashes. To Kokushibo he slightly offered and annoyed hearing that.
"Moon Breathing Second Form: Pearl Flower MoonGazing"
Seeing that this slayer is trying to pressure his he performs several Crescent slashes and moon blades acting them as a barrier while also trying to cut up the shadow breather. The five hundred year old demon was still unaware how this new breathing style works but this was just the beginning. He looks to see if this so call half-breed got caught in his blades, However, Blue had more moves up his sleeves.
"Shadow Breathing Sixth Form: Shadow clone"
Before got caught he blurs out and multiples as clones act as the real one. Kokushibo sees there are many more of him. Each clone attack on him. They all attack him one after thee other and the real has not showed up yet.
Wanting to get rid of these fakes before he gets distracted as Tokioka can appear at any moment he slashes and makes multiple curved slashes in a rising vortex destroying the ground and grass taking down multiple clones after him.
"Moon Breathing Fifth Form: Moon Spirit Calamitous Eddy"
Clones have taken out within seconds but a few more have been left behind. Blue blends in with the few remaining fakes slashing back rapidly swinging sending shadow projectiles nearly mimicking the way Kokushibo used his own form making it in to a vortex.
"Shadow Breathing Second Form: Twinning Shadow"
"I can't hesitate for a second! Those blades moon like blades of his aren't just his breathing but it's also his demon art!"
Kokushibo cuts down all of the projects coming his within seconds and not any of them landed a hit on him.
"These Breathing forms have moved my heart... Never in all of my years have I seen a style like this one or a offspring learn a form such as this one." Said the upper moon surprised that Blue has lasted this long.
"But out of all of the mist breathers and my descendant your the only who hasn't use mist breathing on me."
The last remaining clones run to Kokushibo and spread out in different directions circling him Unleashing water breathing and shadow breathing moves. Pearl flower moongazing gets slashed out finally finishing off the clones.
Blue takes this chance to seank attack him from the back horizontally, Breathing as an image of an illusionary full moon appears
"Shadow Breathing Fifth Form: Moon Piercing Gaze"
*SLASH*
As Tokioka thought he got a hit or cut Kokushibos neck he looks behind him to the upper moon unfazed by the attack and illusion.
"Although having excellent swordplay being trained by the water breathers your swordsmen ship is not at its peak..." Says Kokushibo side eyeing him when he dodged the attack.
"However, you emotions are still not in check due to your grudge and hate on the hero's. But allow me to show what true swordplay is."
"Moon Breathing First Form: Moon Evening Palace"
Kokushibo runs at inhuman speed drawing his sword in a singular horizontal slash. Blue jumps up in the air but a moon blade nearly cuts in him but land a hit on his uniform in the waist.
Blue front flips in mid air above Kokushibo falling down, while doing so he dives down pushing the flesh back.
"Shadowfall Vortex!"
With the sound of a sawing machine Blues blade was chipping a Kokushibo's but he got too close and get parryed away lunched away.
"These eleven forms might not even land a hit on hit him! There must be a way to replace my forms for new ones!"
Blue lands on the ground and stabs his sword to stop himself from sliding backwards.
"How... can someone one like you be alive after all these years! Why are you here! Why are you call me your grandson! If You were really my grandfather where were you when I and the family was in time of need!"
Kokushibo heard the words of the young slayer. To himself he felt a weird feeling on his body as if he regrets being alive. But he ignores this and says a few.
"That man has brought me back using his cells and flesh. However in here you true power is awakening. You are the only superior tokito and offspring of my clan. The rest are nothing but a disgrace."
Tokioka's eyes widen upon hearing the mention of his slayer family and ancestors.
"I saw them as useless for not being able to master the breathing technics. I saw my sells as weak and their swordsmanship was nothing more than childsplay."
Blue grits his teeth and tries to ignore the mocking words of the upper moon. Kokushibo takes his first move again and strikes again now pressureing him. Blue parry's the strikes but feels his arms going numb by each powerful swing.
"Shadow Breathing Forth Foem: Shadowy Vortex!"
Kokushibo sees Blues spinning rapidly in a Circle driving into the moon blades. Large amount sparks fly as two forms collide. Blue cuts his way in but gets too close again.
The demon sees right through the spinning blade and grabs it with no effort stopping him.
Kokushibo tries to take away Blues sword and stab him with it. Blue breathes and channels all of his blood flow to his left leg going for a high kick to Kokushibos right side.
A *Pound* was heard as the leg hits the demon. Kokushibo feels a slight sting and sneers his teeth. Blue retracts his legs before the flesh blade touches him.
'His reflexes must be increasing. With all of this adrenaline his blood coursing and changing. My cells in his body are also changing his blood see what happened with him and the here. With my daughters son being this slayer he can't hide from what he truly is. A Hybrid.'
"Moon Breathing Third Form: Loathsome Moon Chains"
Kokushibo swings his sword rapidly send blade projectiles with smaller moon blades. Blue contours this with his with projectiles of his own using "Twinning Shadow" making small havoc on the field.
Blues zooms out of the dust breathes a form making a illusion of a bright full moon and swings horizontal aiming for the neck.
"Shadow Breathing Fifth Form: Moon Piercing Gaze!"
A bright flash of light appears a Blue attacks while the demon guards.
The white light we're off as Blue appears on the other side.
"Did I get 'em? Did I cut his neck?" Blue looks back at the dust formed by the impact. Thinking that the fight is over he can finally return to the real world. But he was wrong.
"You've only torne off my kimono..." said the deep voice of Kokushibo. The dust starts to disapate revealing him not showing a single scratch on him. His muscler features show along with his pale skin.
His sword takes on a whole different form growing three extra blades growing two times longer and larger.
"You couldn't even kill a infant with the likes of that..."
Blues fear rises up much greater then what it was before.
"There no way I can win this it's a losing battle!" His body was shaking much worse not feeling the will to fight. So much pressure was building up in side him not knowing what else. He knows he out classed.
With breathing style alone he knows he can't win.

But against all of these odds he still tries to wield his sword.
Kokushibo: It appears that you still stand and fight. Once I put you down there no reason for you live.
