Just as Akaza's reaction had just fallen, Gyutaro's body suddenly moved behind Ryuji, Ryuji had already noticed that something was wrong, and just as he wanted to draw his sword and activate [Water Breathing, Twelfth Form, Rushing Rivers], Gyutaro had already hugged Ryuji tightly, which caused Ryuji to be unable to draw his sword and activate the technique.
After being hugged tightly by Gyutaro, Ryuji felt puzzled in his heart, could it be that Gyutaro had not died yet? But Gyutaro's head had already been cut off! Or was his neck not Gyutaro's vital point?
After being hugged by Gyutaro, Ryuji's brain turned quickly, and he quickly analyzed many reasons.
Either his neck was not Gyutaro's fatal weakness, or Gyutaro was not the main body. The later analysis was what Ryuji had learned from Gyutaro splitting out from Daki's body, whether it was specifically like this still needed to be verified.
However, Ryuji could be sure that cutting off Gyutaro's neck clearly did not endanger his life.
If Ryuji had not verified it again at that time, it was because Gyutaro had lost his action after his neck was cut, so Ryuji mistakenly thought that Gyutaro had died.
Although there was still an aura present, the aura would not disappear until the corpse had completely dissipated after the demon's death, so Ryuji did not pay too much attention to Gyutaro.
And the reason why Gyutaro had suddenly stopped acting after being beheaded by Ryuji was also because he had been shocked by Ryuji's show of strength, if he had not maintained a symbiotic relationship with Daki, he would definitely have been killed by Ryuji in seconds just now.
Because he had a symbiotic relationship with Daki, Gyutaro and Daki's lives were linked together, that was to say, only cutting off the neck of one of them would not have any impact on them, only cutting off the necks of both Daki and Gyutaro at the same time could end the lives of both of them.
Although Ryuji had not killed Gyutaro, he had prevented Gyutaro's severed hands and head from healing at the first moment.
Because Gyutaro's wound was injured by Ryuji's demon-slaying sword, it suppressed Gyutaro's regeneration and recovery.
If Ryuji took advantage of the time when Gyutaro's head and body had lost contact, and could not regenerate immediately, and cut off Daki's neck, then he could also disintegrate the symbiotic relationship between the two.
That was to say, as long as Daki's head was cut off again before Gyutaro's head was reattached or regenerated, he could also disintegrate the lives of both of them.
In theory, it was indeed not necessary to cut off the necks of both of them at the same time.
But in practice, he had to cut off both of them at the same time to have the possibility of killing Daki and Gyutaro.
Because in reality, if he cut off Daki's neck first, and then cut off Gyutaro's, Daki, whose neck had been cut off before, would definitely regenerate her neck or reattach it at the first moment, so Daki and Gyutaro would not give you too much time to cut off the neck of the second one.
Therefore in practice, only cutting off the necks of both of them at almost the same time could disintegrate this symbiotic relationship.
Compared to a single entity, this symbiotic relationship was indeed much more difficult to deal with.
Of course, there was also a way to cut off the symbiotic relationship between the two. That was to let one of them accept the baptism of sunlight, so that he could kill only one person unilaterally.
