"Sizzle!"
Tanjiro Kamado swung his sword, precisely striking a demon's neck, then pulled it down forcefully, rotating the hilt to change the direction of the cut.
"Water Breathing - First Form - Water Surface Slash!"
"Ugh ugh ugh ————"
The enemy's head was severed, and in a moment of disbelief, it turned to ashes and vanished without a trace.
Tanjiro, panting heavily, quickly determined his direction and then rushed out without hesitation.
"Something's not right!"
"This isn't like the storylines I saw on the Free Channel. Why, why are there so many ghosts on Mount Natagumo?!"
Tanjiro couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Instead, they focused on fighting the ghosts that suddenly appeared, striving to protect everyone they saw so that they could survive!
When Tanjiro swung his sword, no water flowed, and there were no strange effects with his breathing.
It's simply a matter of raising one's body temperature through unique breathing techniques, thus stimulating one's bodily functions to an extraordinary level!
Like Tanjiro, there are also other members of the Demon Slayer Corps fighting on this mountain.
They were just ordinary mortals, wielding iron tools.
But on their opposite side were monsters that could regenerate infinitely and survive being injured!
Even so, they did not give up. Despite their fear, they held their knives tightly and fought with all their might to the very end!
"Everyone, you have to hold on!"
Tanjiro glanced at the chat group when he had a moment to spare, and the sword in his hand gleamed slightly as he swung it.
"Almost there, almost there! The group leader will be here soon. Hang in there, just a little longer!"
He ran all the way to the main battlefield on the mountain.
But when he arrived, he saw a scene that shocked him to the core, leaving him speechless.
He saw a demon, a malevolent spirit that was currently grabbing a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, its sharp fingers piercing the man's head.
Besides, the ground was littered with the corpses of Demon Slayer Corps members!
The captured member had his mouth wide open, his throat bobbing, but he couldn't make a sound.
His body was trembling, as if he were enduring great pain!
"What the hell are you doing?!" Tanjiro roared instinctively.
Upon hearing his voice, the demon slightly turned its head and glanced at Tanjiro.
The Demon Slayer Corps member who had been captured struggled to turn his head after hearing the sound, and the moment he saw Tanjiro, two lines of tears streamed down his face.
His lips trembled. Tanjiro didn't understand lip reading, but he could smell it.
I smelled sadness, pain, and despair!
"kill----"
"That's it!"
""
"I."
Noisy!
Tanjiro gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his extreme anger and suppressed rage causing his bones to crack and creak as he rubbed them against the hilt, as if he wanted to crush the sword.
"What the hell have you done?!"
"Stop it right now!!"
"Clang!"
Tanjiro swung his sword forward. This time, the sword was no longer just swung forward in an ordinary way as before. Instead, it was accompanied by a white light and slashed out a white blade of light!
"Um?!"
The spider demon named "Rui," the fifth Lower Moon, turned around, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. At the same time, he raised his hand and released his "spider silk" in an attempt to block the white light.
However, when the white light swept over, it instinctively retreated and kept its distance from it.
He looked at his hands, and in that instant, it felt as if he had been scorched by the sun. His hands turned to ashes instantly, and this time he didn't even feel any pain.
If it had been any later, he probably would have melted!
"What on earth did you do?"
A flicker of fear crossed Lei's eyes, but it quickly turned into ferocity and malice.
It wants to kill Tanjiro and completely eliminate this fear!
However, Tanjiro did not answer its question.
Because after unleashing that attack imbued with light, he was pulled into the mental space.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Tanjiro Kamado."
"Who are you?"
"My name is Zoffy, I'm Lin Lu's older brother, and I've come to help you."
In the mental space, Zoffy stood in front of Tanjiro, looking at him with a smile.
"The group leader is here!" Tanjiro's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Mr. Zoffy! Please help me!"
"I already know. So, are you willing to be of one mind with me?"
"certainly!"
Tanjiro agreed without any hesitation.
"it is good."
Zoffy didn't hesitate and immediately fused with Tanjiro.
As they merged, Rui's attack reached Tanjiro.
Why did he suddenly stop moving?
Lei was very confused, and the next second an ominous premonition rose in his heart, and he subconsciously stepped back.
But it was too late for it to retreat. Tanjiro, who was facing it, raised his head, and his black eyes were now flashing with a strong light.
That was a light I had never seen in my entire life!
"you!"
"How gentle she is."
Zoffy, now in control of his body, praised Tanjiro without reservation: "The gentleness in your heart is more special than all the people I've ever met in my life combined. Such a gentle person truly shouldn't suffer misfortune."
"No, actually I—"
Tanjiro silently replied in his heart, "They are the truly kind ones. They used their own bodies to buy us time, silently protecting others in the darkness!"
"yes."
Zoffy was filled with emotion; he felt he had made the right decision to come!
If you hadn't seen it for yourself, how could you believe that such a gentle person really exists in the world?
Most importantly, Tanjiro's gentleness is not that of a saint, but rather a gentleness with principles and unwavering determination!
His gentleness also has a sharp edge!
This is what Zoffy likes most!
Tanjiro is able to uphold the goodness in his heart, but he is extremely clear about the boundary between good and evil.
He would sympathize with and grieve for those evil spirits, but he would not forgive them, nor would he let those hurtful evil spirits go unpunished because of his feelings.
Because they have already hurt people, they have already walked the path to hell!
In any case, they must atone for what they have done in the past!
There is only one way to atone for one's sins, and that is—death!
"I sensed the power within you, Tanjiro."
Zoffy gripped the hilt and said, "I'm not good at using this kind of weapon, but if it's just about using it, I might be able to manage."
As Zoffy spoke, he looked at Lei, who was standing blankly opposite him.
Actually, it can't be said that he was just standing there exhausted. In fact, during the time when Zoffy and Tanjiro were of one mind, only a few milliseconds had passed!
Tired, its hand was still raised upwards, preparing to attack Tanjiro.
But the next second—
Zoffy's hand swung forward first!
"Demon, look to me! Face the light!"
