Chapter 17 - chapter 17 Infinity Castle Arc

Screen 1 — Enter the Infinity Castle

The moment Muzan teleports the Hashira and Demon Slayers, the world fractures into chaos.

The Infinity Castle stretches endlessly — floors twist like living mazes, pillars spin in spirals, and every taiko drumbeat reshapes reality.

Gravity bends. The air hums with power.

> Venom: "This place isn't a battlefield. It's a trap that breathes."

Tanjiro: "Then we'll fight until it stops breathing."

---

Screen 2 — Talk with Upper Moon 3

From the shifting darkness, Akaza steps forward — confident, composed, and burning with anticipation.

His eyes lock on the Flame Hashira.

> Akaza: "Flame Hashira… you survived. Good. I'll kill you properly this time."

Rengoku (smiling): "You'll find I burn brighter now."

Venom: "He moves by instinct. We'll move by precision."

Tanjiro: "And by heart."

The floor trembles — sparks, flames, and heat collide with demonic fury.

---

Screen 3 — Akaza vs. Rengoku & Venom–Tanjiro (Round 2 — Infinity Castle)

Round 1 — Opening Exchange

Akaza activates Destructive Death: Compass Needle, shaking the entire floor with shockwaves.

Rengoku charges head-on, his blade glowing white-red; Tanjiro follows with black-orange arcs powered by Venom.

Each impact explodes through the structure, splitting the walls apart.

Venom's senses read Akaza's rhythm.

> Venom: "He adjusts every three strikes. Pattern resets every heartbeat."

Rengoku: "Then don't let him reset!"

They synchronize — Rengoku attacks high, Tanjiro low — flames and sunlight spiraling as one.

Akaza blocks both, smirking as his aura burns crimson.

Result: Perfectly matched. The surrounding hall crumbles under their power.

---

Round 2 — Akaza's Adaptation

Akaza begins countering both effortlessly, deflecting Venom's tendrils and weaving through Rengoku's fiery offense.

A solid blow lands — Tanjiro crashes into a column, coughing blood.

Venom instantly reinforces his body.

> Venom: "His blood energy doubled. He's peaking."

Tanjiro: "Then we'll surpass it."

Rengoku's mark flares — Flame Breathing, Ninth Form: Rengoku!

Tanjiro channels Sun Breathing, Venom feeding solar energy through his veins.

Together, their combined flames form a roaring inferno that pushes Akaza back.

Result: Akaza's regeneration slows — the first crack in his dominance.

---

Round 3 — The Philosophical Clash

Akaza's expression twists with frustration.

> Akaza: "Why cling to weakness? You'll die, and it'll mean nothing!"

Tanjiro: "Because strength without compassion means nothing."

Venom: "And hollow strength breaks fastest."

Rengoku: "We fight not for eternity — but for what's right."

For the first time, Akaza hesitates — emotion flickering behind his fury.

---

Round 4 — Venom's Tactical Edge

Venom shifts his approach — he scrambles Akaza's Compass Needle by emitting micro-vibrations that distort his spatial sense.

> Venom: "Let's see you predict chaos."

Akaza (snarling): "What—!?"

Rengoku dashes through the distortion and lands a devastating slash across Akaza's torso.

Tanjiro follows with Sun Breathing, Thirteenth Form: Burning Harmony, cleaving through the wound.

Akaza's body struggles to heal — his aura flickers violently.

---

Round 5 — The Final Strike

Akaza drops to one knee, trying to regenerate.

Rengoku steadies his blade — eyes fierce yet calm.

> Rengoku: "You could've walked another path."

Akaza (quietly): "I… forgot how."

Tanjiro steps beside him.

Their flames merge — sunlight and fire intertwining.

> Tanjiro: "Sun Breathing: Solar Purge."

Rengoku: "Flame Breathing: Purgatory!"

Their blades strike together — light consuming Akaza completely.

He fades with a peaceful expression, finally free of his rage.

---

Screen 4 — Doma's Fall

Round 1 — Ice Bloom

Doma floods his chamber with freezing mist, sculpting ice clones that mirror his movements.

Frost crawls up the walls.

> Giyu: "Don't inhale too deep — it numbs your lungs."

Kanao: "I can see the real one. Back wall — left corner."

Water Breathing, Eleventh Form: Dead Calm clears the mist.

Inosuke charges in — Beast Breathing, Eighth Fang: Explosive Rush! — cracking Doma's ribs.

Result: His regeneration falters slightly.

---

Round 2 — The Poison Awakens

Doma attacks with Cold Lotus Blizzard, ice shards covering the ceiling.

But Shinobu's poison activates — blue veins flare across his skin, glowing violet.

> Giyu: "It's working."

Kanao: "Shinobu… thank you."

Doma's regeneration slows drastically. His ice begins melting into steam.

Result: Power reduced to 30%.

---

Round 3 — Three-Point Assault

Giyu leads, calm and precise.

Kanao activates the Vermilion Eye, seeing every motion clearly.

Inosuke tears through ice statues to guard their flanks.

> Giyu: "Strike his head when I cut his neck."

Kanao: "Understood."

Inosuke: "I'll finish what's left!"

Their coordinated assault overwhelms Doma.

Giyu cuts deep, Kanao severs his arm, and Inosuke shatters his mask-like face.

---

Round 4 — Doma's Collapse

He laughs weakly, voice cracking.

> Doma: "So this is… fear?"

Giyu: "You'll remember it forever."

The poison reaches his brain; his body starts dissolving.

Kanao rushes in — tears in her eyes.

> Kanao: "This is for Shinobu-sensei."

One perfect slash — Doma's head falls, his smile fading into warmth.

> Doma (fading): "Warm… so warm…"

As his body melts, Shinobu's haori drifts through the cold rain.

> Kanao (softly): "She did it… she saved us."

Giyu: "No — she saved everyone."

Inosuke (smirking): "She'd punch us if we cried."

The trio walks away, victorious but scarred.

The Infinity Castle trembles — only Muzan and a few demons remain.

---

Screen 5 — Sanemi and Gyomei vs. Kokushibo

The strongest Upper Moon descends — the legendary Kokushibo.

Sanemi and Gyomei stand side by side, ready for the storm.

The clash unfolds just like in canon — fierce, devastating, and full of resolve.

> Venom (from afar): "Two hearts beating like war drums. The end draws near."
