"Second Form: Waterwheel"

In the alley, Tanjiro swung his Nichirin Blade, which had turned pure black but had a hint of purple, at the swamp demon that had half its body sticking out of the ground.

Although this swamp demon is not a well-known Lower Moon demon, his strength is not weak, and his 'Blood Demon Art' is even considered quite outstanding among many demons.

Swamp Demon quickly disappeared into the puddle and onto the ground. As soon as Tanjiro landed, Swamp Demon suddenly leaped out from the wall beside him, waving its two pale claws at Tanjiro.

Two?

Tanjiro skillfully dodged the Swamp Demon's attacks, but through his thinking, he quickly realized the problem.

'No! The scents have separated...this is a ghost! It's a clone technique!'

Tanjiro was on high alert when suddenly his expression changed slightly. He quickly turned around and shouted at Yang Bo, "Sir, be careful!"

thump…

Just as Tanjiro's voice rang out, a demonic hand emerged from the ground and grabbed Yang Bo's ankle.

Yang Bo's mind suddenly exploded with ideas, and he couldn't help but exclaim inwardly:

'Holy crap, Earth Release: Mind Decapitation Technique?'

Feeling the pulling force from his ankle, he threw the girl in his arms to Kazumi, who was standing there stunned.

"Catch it."

The next moment, Yang Bo placed a round stone under his feet and kicked it forward with force, pulling the swamp ghost out of the ground with his unreasonable strength.

"This is impossible..."

The swamp demon, which had been baring its teeth and looking ferocious, flew in mid-air, its eyes filled with disbelief that it had been pulled up so easily.

Then, his pupils contracted sharply as he saw a 'door panel' coming towards him.

Then a feeling of suffocation and death washed over him; the powerful wind pressure gave him no chance to escape.

'What kind of monster is this?'

puff.

The swamp demon's body exploded the instant the cleaver struck it.

His upper body had completely disappeared, leaving only his two legs lying on the ground. Crimson blood spread along the ground and up the alley wall, like a large bucket of tomato sauce splattering out.

But the next moment, the severed body, along with the blood splattered on the wall, all turned to ashes.

"Oh? So you can defeat demons without a Nichirin Blade."

Yang Bo stared with great interest at the swamp demon's other two clones.

This is the Swamp Demon's special ability; he can split into three independent individuals to fight simultaneously, sharing consciousness and memories, and claims that "all three are me."

The swamp demon immediately fled to a place far away from Yang Bo, its expression ferocious: "Unforgivable! Unforgivable! What are you?! How dare you do this!"

"Me? Heh, I'm just an ordinary person with a bit more strength, Tanjiro."

"First Form: Water Surface Slash"

Tanjiro reacted extremely quickly. The moment he heard Yang Bo call his name, he swiftly unleashed his swordsmanship and slashed at the Swamp Demon.

The First Form: Water Slash is a fast, straight horizontal slash. Although simple, it is extremely fast.

Swamp Demon, due to anger and panic, was unable to dodge Tanjiro's attack, and his body was slashed through the chest by the sharp Nichirin Blade.

A wound so deep that his internal organs were almost visible appeared on the Swamp Ghost's body. If it were up to his normal recovery time, this injury wouldn't even qualify as a minor one; it would heal in just a few seconds.

But now it's different. After being stabbed, the Swamp Ghost's wound is not only healing slowly, but the strange energy is also constantly 'rushing around' in his body, greatly depleting his strength.

The effects of poison level V were rapidly depleting the swamp demon's stamina, and the hunger he felt as a demon was constantly consuming his remaining sanity.

'Eat...eat...'

If a ghost doesn't eat people for a long time, its body will enter a state similar to hibernation.

Nezuko had fallen into a deep sleep for this very reason.

The swamp demon lost his mind. Instead of running away, he burrowed underground again and rushed towards Riko, the girl who was being held in Kazumi's arms.

Tanjiro stepped onto the ground and quickly chased after the Swamp Demon.

Although Yang Tao's senses are very sharp, he has not evolved the ability to smell aura like Tanjiro.

Give me the person!

The swamp demon suddenly burst out of the ground behind Yang Tao and reached out to grab the girl, Riko, in the young man's arms.

Faced with this inhuman being, He Si felt as if his legs were made of lead, and he was completely unable to move.

Snapped--

A large, thick hand gripped the swamp demon's wrist, restraining it.

"Kid, you're really a bit of a freak."

With a forceful flick.

He threw the swamp demon that had poked its head out at Tanjiro.

'Chance!'

Tanjiro immediately stopped and gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly with both hands.

Take a deep breath!

"First Form: Water Surface Slash"

The Nichirin Blade sliced ​​through the air, severing the Swamp Demon's head. Without struggling or resisting, the Swamp Demon's clone turned to ashes and vanished.

Now only one remains.

Tanjiro looked around but couldn't see the last swamp demon. He closed his eyes and sensed the surrounding atmosphere.

the other side.

"Uh, you should hold him."

Yang Bo refused He Si, whose face was covered in tears and fear: "I will do my best to protect you and your fiancée."

"My...sir, I...I'm so incompetent. Just now, I...couldn't even move. If you can protect Li Zi, I...I'll agree to anything."

A storyline involving an incompetent husband?

"If you're willing to do anything, then hold me tight."

Yang Bo glanced at the girl Riko. The ordinary people in Demon Slayer were all very good-looking, and there was no deliberate attempt to make them ugly in order to highlight the main characters.

Li Zi is very beautiful, and she has a gentle and intellectual air about her.

She turned to look at Tanjiro, whose eyes were closed.

"Tanjiro, let Midouko come."

Tanjiro opened his eyes upon hearing this: "Nezuko?"

“That’s right, her perception is stronger than yours, especially when it comes to ghosts.”

Click.

Before Tanjiro could speak, the small wooden box on his back opened, and a miniature Nezuko leaped out. Her body then rapidly grew larger, before returning to her original size as a young girl when she landed.

Nezuko looked around with her crimson eyes and quickly pointed to the wall next to Yang Tao.

Knowing he had been exposed, the swamp demon, desperate and reckless, leaped out from the wall.

But the next moment, the wind pressure from the cleaver descended.

thump--

The swamp demon suddenly collapsed to the ground, his body giving way. He struggled to his feet and demanded:

"What is this?! I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!"

"Only by consuming girls when they turn 16 will they never spoil. I am redeeming them..."

After saying that, the swamp ghost could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground unconscious.

The cleaving blade stopped abruptly, and Yang Bo stared at the swamp demon before him:

“Every girl is a flower waiting to bloom, and they will blossom in every area of ​​their lives, including career, love, life, and family.”

"And you are the beast who stifled their beauty!"

Reaching out, I ripped the swamp ghost's clothes off, and a pile of scattered women's jewelry, earrings, and hair ornaments fell from its body.

Each piece of jewelry is a souvenir of the girls he harmed.

'First Form: A Head-On Blow!'

He raised his cleaver again and smashed it down on the swamp ghost, whose health had been whittled down to almost zero by the poison buff.

With a loud bang.

The ground collapsed instantly, swamp spirits splashed everywhere, and some colorful experience orbs flew out of the deep pit.

"Kibuju's Muzan Blood x1"

After the drop of blood flew into Yang Bo's backpack, a new achievement notification popped up in the chat box:

"The story of Demon Slayer begins!"

Once the demon's power reaches its limit, consuming five portions of Muzan's blood will increase its maximum stamina.

The demonization buff will disappear upon the character's death, and the demonization progress will not be retained.
