Infinite: The Main God Space Starting from Naruto

Chapter 63 The Pain of Despair

Suddenly, Tanjiro realized that Nezuko was not among them. A faint glimmer of hope flashed in his heart.

"Nie beans! Nei beans!"

He stumbled to his feet and rushed into each room of the house. Tanjiro's movements became increasingly frantic, and the panic in his eyes deepened.

Finally, he arrived at the backyard gate. Tanjiro reached out and opened the door, but the next moment, his body froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Under the moonlight, a pitch-black monster was holding Midouzi. The monster lowered its head, its fangs digging deep into Midouzi's shoulders, constantly gnawing at Midouzi's body.

Tanjiro's pupils suddenly contracted. He saw that Nezuko's chest was still rising and falling slightly; she was still alive, but her eyes had lost their former luster, becoming empty and dull.

Just then, Nezuko slowly turned her head, her gaze meeting Tanjiro's. Her lips moved slightly, silently uttering two words:

"Run!"

At that moment, it felt as if something inside Tanjiro had snapped. Rage erupted in his chest like a volcano, and his reason was instantly consumed.

"Aaaaaaah!!" Tanjiro let out a heart-wrenching roar.

He rushed toward the monster, bending down to grab a rock along the way, and smashed it down on the monster's head.

"Bang!" A muffled sound rang out as the stone struck the monster hard on the back of the head.

The monster abruptly stopped eating. It slowly stood up and turned its head.

When the monster stood up straight, an invisible pressure came over him. The monster was more than twice his height, and its huge body almost filled the entire door frame.

"You've ruined my appetite, you rude brat! Didn't your mother teach you not to disturb other people's meals?!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the monster suddenly raised one foot and kicked Tanjiro hard.

Before Tanjiro could even react, he felt a tremendous force slam into his chest. His body was instantly thrown through the air, flying like a leaf through the wooden wall and out of the house.

Tanjiro crashed heavily onto the snow and rolled several times in the cold snow before stopping.

The monster strode up to Tanjiro, stretched out its thick arm, grabbed Tanjiro by the chest, lifted him up, and carefully examined his face.

"Speaking of which, you look a lot like this family. Could it be that you're related to them?"

Tanjiro struggled to open his eyes and saw the monster's hideous face right in front of him.

The monster suddenly let out a chilling laugh and whispered in Tanjiro's ear:

"Haha, let me tell you, your sister's food is really delicious. I'm very satisfied!"

These words were like a sharp knife, instantly piercing Tanjiro's heart. His eyes widened, and tears streamed uncontrollably down his face.

"what!"

Tanjiro suddenly raised his head and roared, using all his strength to ram into the monster's chin.

"Snap!"

A sharp crack echoed clearly in the silent night air. The monster's jaw was knocked askew by the sudden impact.

"You damned brat!" the monster roared.

A savage glint flashed in its eyes, and it lifted Tanjiro above its head as easily as wielding a straw.

Before Tanjiro could react, he felt a tremendous force suddenly press him down.

"boom!"

Tanjiro's body slammed heavily onto the hard ground. Intense pain, like an electric shock, instantly swept through his body. He felt his breath catch in his throat, as if the air in his lungs had been squeezed out by the impact.

Just then, the monster's figure loomed over him. Its claw, covered in sharp nails, was raised high, gleaming with a cold light.

"Die!!" The monster grinned savagely, its claws flashing like lightning as it stabbed towards Tanjiro's chest.

In that life-or-death moment, Tanjiro's mind flashed with the smiling faces of his family.

"Am I going to die?" A deep sorrow and guilt welled up in Tanjiro's heart. "I'm sorry, Mother, Nezuko, I didn't protect you."

He closed his eyes, awaiting death. However, the expected pain did not come.

The next second, Tanjiro felt warm liquid splash onto his face. He opened his eyes abruptly, and the sight before him made him freeze instantly.

Grandpa Saburo was standing in front of him when the monster's claws pierced deep into the old man's chest.

"Old man, you're really tired of living."

Hearing the monster's words, Tanjiro's eyes widened as yet another person died before his eyes for saving him.

An unprecedented rage erupted within him. His chest heaved violently, and his breathing became rapid. Blood surged through his veins like a raging torrent.

Tanjiro's gaze suddenly fell on Saburo's grandfather's hand. The wood-chopping knife slipped from the old man's weak hand and lay in a pool of blood, its blade reflecting the faint moonlight.

The next moment, as if driven by an invisible force, he lunged at the wood-chopping knife next to Grandpa Sanlang.

His movements were incredibly fast; before he could even react, his hand was already firmly gripping the hilt of the knife.

"What?!"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

The monster stared in disbelief at the boy who had just been on the verge of death, now bursting forth with astonishing speed and power.

Tanjiro swung his sword, the blade slicing through the air with a piercing whistle. The monster hastily raised its arm to block, but underestimated the power of the attack.

"Pfft!"

In the next instant, the machete pierced the monster's arm. Blood gushed out, instantly staining the surrounding snow red. The monster's arm fell to the ground with a thud, and it stared in disbelief at its severed limb, clearly still not understanding what had happened.

"How is this possible?"

The monster staggered back, staring at Tanjiro in disbelief, as if looking at an alien.

Suddenly, a glint of rage flashed in the monster's eyes. It roared and lunged at Tanjiro with its remaining left hand.

Tanjiro's eyes narrowed, and he swiftly retreated. The monster's attack barely grazed the hem of his clothes, creating a gust of wind.

In that split second, a set of unfamiliar techniques suddenly flashed into Tanjiro's mind. He gripped his wood-chopping knife, his feet slightly apart, assuming a peculiar stance.

"Konoha-style Swordsmanship: Gale Slash!"

His figure blurred instantly, as if he had transformed into a whirlwind. The machete drew a silver arc in the air, so fast that its trajectory was almost invisible.

"laugh!"

With a soft sound, the monster's movements came to an abrupt halt. Its head slowly slid off.

"How is this possible!" the monster's head cried out in its final gasp.

"Die!" Tanjiro roared, his voice filled with pain and hatred.

He swung his sword again, and in a flash, the monster's head was cleaved in two. Blood splattered, staining the surrounding snow red.

Tanjiro turned around, his gaze falling on Saburo, who was standing not far away. He quickly walked over and knelt beside the old man.

Grandpa Saburo lay in a pool of blood, his face pale, no longer breathing. Tanjiro reached out and gently closed the old man's eyes, a deep sense of guilt and sorrow welling up inside him.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Sanlang," he said softly, his voice choked with emotion.

A moment later, Tanjiro stood up and turned his gaze to the backyard. He took a deep breath and forced himself to start walking.

Upon arriving in the backyard, Tanjiro saw Nezuko lying on the ground, her body covered in wounds and her breathing weak.

Tanjiro knelt beside his sister and carefully picked her up. "Nezuko!"

Midouzi slowly opened her eyes, her gaze barely focusing on her brother's face, and uttered two words with difficulty:

"Survive"
