You didn't expect this, did you? I've time-traveled again!

The activation conditions are a heart rate exceeding 200 beats per minute and a body temperature above 39 degrees Celsius.

Those who activate their markings can enhance all of their physical abilities for a short period of time. Speed ​​and strength go without saying, and even their recovery ability will be boosted to a higher level.

In this state, his swordsmanship and strength have more than doubled, far surpassing what they were before.

But power often comes at a price!

Apart from Yoriichi Tsugikuni, none of those who awakened the Demon Slayer Mark have lived past the age of twenty-five!

The immense power of the markings seems to accompany the depletion of life, as if the power accumulated after the age of 25 is now being unleashed.

Abbreviation: 氪命 (kè mìng).

Gon (the protagonist of Hunter x Hunter) exclaimed that he was an expert!

Yoriichi Tsugikuni is the chosen one, living steadily past 80 years old even with his Demon Slayer Mark active; Gon, on the other hand, was saved by Killua's sister (?) Alluka using her Nen ability of "Force and Request".

What does Suo Takeshi have?

Need I say more!

Aqua is there!

As a goddess, she comes with the [Resurrection (Goddess Limited)] skill, so Suoh can be resurrected even if he dies several times, so there's nothing to be afraid of!

Moreover, he is only 20 years old this year, and there are still 5 years until he turns 25.

That's enough!

He couldn't believe that he had spent five years traversing countless worlds and still couldn't find a solution.

Even if he doesn't find it in the end, the reward from the Lord of the Gods can still cover it, right?

what?

You said the reward from the Lord of Gods can only be obtained by defeating the Demon King?

No way, really?

Surely no one really thinks that a time traveler can't defeat a mere demon king?

With this in mind, Suoh Takeru, now free from any worries, began his training in the Marked Pattern.

It is the Sun Breathing Technique in operation.

Sun Breathing Technique is the starting breathing technique. Since Kunihiro was born with the ability to awaken his mark, the breathing technique he created must also be compatible.

His chest heaved violently, like a bellows being pulled rapidly.

Thump, thump, thump...

Heart rate 80 beats per minute, body temperature 363 degrees Celsius

Heart rate 110 beats per minute, body temperature 369 degrees Celsius

Heart rate 150 beats per minute, body temperature 377 degrees Celsius

……

The air around him gradually became hot and dry, and the temperature rose rapidly. The lush green grass under his feet slowly turned yellowish-brown.

Unconsciously, Suoh Takeru used magic to assist his heartbeat and body temperature increase in order to speed up the activation of the markings.

puff!

A soft sound.

His clothes started to spontaneously combust.

Bright red flame patterns began to appear on his body, starting from his upper left forehead and extending down to his right leg, covering most of his body except for his right cheek.

The menacing flame patterns do not appear ferocious; instead, they exude a dignified and solemn sense of majesty.

Gain the skill [Spotted Mark (Magic Enhanced Version)]!

The relevant skills appeared on his adventure card, indicating that he has now officially learned the Mark.

"These are the markings."

The world he perceived became colorful and vibrant at that moment, and previously ignored information flooded back into his brain.

He feels great right now.

Excellent!

Even with a heart rate exceeding 200 beats per minute and a body temperature exceeding 39 degrees Celsius, he believed that his current state was the best he had been since transmigrating!

The effect of the marks enhanced by magic is unexpectedly powerful!

This gave Suoh Takeshi the illusion that he was omnipotent!

Of course, it was just an illusion.

He picked up the Nichirin Blade and practiced the Sun Breathing Technique once more.

Worlds apart!

The awkwardness of being restrained was gone, replaced by a sense of freedom and comfort, and the power was greatly enhanced. Suoh Takeru was deeply fascinated by this.

the most important is!

With the support of magic, he felt his life force draining away much more slowly!

This means that even if he ignores his freckles, he can still live past 25!

After a brief period of excitement, Suoh Takeshi felt slightly tired.

Even with the blessing, the first time is always very quick.

Suoh Takeshi was no exception.

Breathe calmly to close the marks and return to normal.

Fatigue followed.

The first time I tried to activate the pattern, I wasn't quite sure how to handle it properly, and I accidentally burned the clothes. I won't do that next time.

After resting for a while and regaining his strength, Suoh Takeru activated his mark again.

With the experience from the first time, the second time will be much smoother and more sustainable.

The marks will disappear after a few more treatments.

Bright red markings reappeared, covering Suoh Takeshi's entire back and infecting a large area of ​​his body.

By gathering the unintentionally released magic power, the energy within the body becomes more restrained, creating a more imposing and powerful aura as it prepares to be unleashed.

The mark was activated for the second time, and the Sun Breathing Technique was practiced again, this time with even greater power!

"Good, a few more times and it will be perfect for use in actual combat."

Suoh Takeshi's lips curled into a satisfied smile.

At that moment, Aqua rushed out of the mansion and shouted at Suoh Takeshi, "Takeshi, what are you doing!"

"Did she catch Darkness's infection, exposing her body naked in the courtyard?!"

Upon seeing the flame pattern on Suoh Takeshi's back, he shouted, "It's been possessed by the Flame Demon, isn't it? That must be it!"

"No, that's not how it is..."

Suoh Takeshi hurriedly waved his hand, about to explain, but Aqua was clearly the type who "acts faster than she thinks."

He ran straight at him, shouting, "Damn demon, give me back my martial arts! Divine Light Fist!"

Then Suoh Takeru took the punch head-on.

...not retreating even a single step.

Aqua's skills are extremely effective against undead, but have no effect on humans. To Suoh Takeshi, Aqua's attacks are just like a normal attack.

As for the healer's basic attack, you can imagine...

Aqua, who landed a punch on Suoh Takeshi's chest, froze on the spot.

"There's been a mistake..."

"Aqua, could you get me some clothes?"

Realizing her mistake, Aqua immediately burst into tears, but Suoh Takeru didn't blame her, after all, Aqua was worried about him.

"Yes! I'll go right away!"

Aqua hurriedly ran back.

Another joyful day is about to begin.

Chapter 056 The Scene of White Album... How Could This Be?

"So, when Wu stood naked in the courtyard, it wasn't because he had awakened a perverted attribute, nor was he possessed by the Flame Demon, right?"

"Yes, I was just practicing spiritual cultivation."

"Baka! I was so worried when I woke up to find Wu in that state!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."

Aqua's unusual assertiveness made Suoh Takeshi realize she was worried about him, so he couldn't argue.

"By the way, Aqua. There's something I need to ask you about that situation just now..."

When she was told that she wouldn't live past 25 after her markings were about to be activated, she was asked what she should do.

Even after Suoh Takeru officially activated his mark, he still felt it was better to ask first.

It wasn't just for him, but also for the Demon Slayer Corps.

But to my surprise, Aqua immediately exploded upon hearing this.

"ah--?!!

Why, why do I need to learn that skill?

"Hey, why do you even need to learn that skill?!"
