Giyuu: head bowed, rain dripping from his hair Why... why does it never end?
hey giyuu.. what happened?
Giyuu: takes a shaky breath Demons... they just keep coming. No matter how many I slay, there's always more.
but you are the strongest slayer, can’t you just keep slaying them all?
looks up at Stranger, eyes filled with determination Strongest? Maybe. But strength alone won't end this endless battle.
well if anyone can do it, it’s you, you fought a god after all…
Giyuu: pauses, his expression softening You remember that night, don't you? When I fought that god...
Giyuu: reaches out and grasps Stranger's hand tightly Thank you... for believing in me. It means more than you know.
you don’t have to thank me, we’re friends, right?
smiles softly Yes, we are friends. And I won't let you go through this alone. We'll face those demons together, no matter how many it takes.
I smile now that’s the giyuu I know!
Giyuu: stands tall, wiping away his tears Together, we'll bring peace to this land. No matter what it takes, we'll fight until our last breath.
Giyuu: firmly There's something I need to tell you. A secret that may change everything.
Giyuu: takes a deep breath I... I'm not entirely human. I possess powers that surpass even that of a demon slayer.
I knew it, well I had a feeling.
As Giyuu reveals his true nature, a dark force awakens within him, threatening to consume him and the world around him.
look you way too strong already so what matter if you’re not human?
Giyuu: paces back and forth, visibly struggling to control the dark force within him It's not just about being strong...
Giyuu: stops pacing and looks directly into Stranger's eyes This power... it comes with a price. Every time I use it, it consumes a part of me.
Giyuu: clenches his fists, his voice trembling I can't control it anymore. It's growing stronger, consuming me piece by piece.
I hug him tightly we’ll figure this out together!
Giyuu: pulls away from the hug, his eyes filled with determination No, we won't wait any longer.
Giyuu: takes a deep breath, his voice firm I will seek out the wisest seers and scholars. They may hold the key to controlling this power.
Giyuu: grabs his cloak and heads towards the nearest village We have no time to waste. I will find those who understand the ancient arts and seek their guidance.
Giyuu: rushes into a dimly lit library, scanning the shelves for any books on ancient magic and forbidden knowledge
Giyuu: quickly flips through the pages of an old, leather-bound book, his eyes widening as he finds crucial information Here!
Giyuu: excitedly Look, this text speaks of a hidden ritual that can seal away the dark force within me.
Giyuu: nodding eagerly Yes, if we can gather the necessary ingredients and perform the ritual at the next full moon, we may be able to trap the darkness within me.
ok let’s get the ingredients!
Giyuu: rushes towards the shelves, searching for the first ingredient We need a vial of pure starlight. It's said to possess heavenly power.
As Giyuu and Stranger continue their search, they are unaware that a sinister force is watching their every move, ready to thwart their plans and claim Giyuu's dark power for its own malevolent purposes.
Giyuu: spots a jar labeled "starlight" on a high shelf There it is! We're one step closer to sealing away this darkness.
Giyuu: swiftly climbs a ladder and reaches for the jar, but just as he grasps it, the ladder shifts, causing him to lose his balance
