My avatar is the heroine

Nightmare was stunned for a moment, then touched her neck and looked back at Black Eyes who was preparing to attack again.

"You almost chopped my neck off."

There were no fancy tricks, and the speed was extremely fast. If it hadn't been so close to the Upper Moon Demon, it might not have been able to withstand it.

"Your knife is very sharp, but unfortunately... it can't completely kill me." He suddenly laughed, and his neck began to heal little by little.

A demon of this strength normally wouldn't have a particularly slow recovery speed, but Nightmare was clearly affected by this. A +10 Demon-countering ability is no joke; it's far stronger than a +1 demon by more than 10 times.

"Blood Demon Art, Whispers of Forced Sleep and Hypnosis." Without any further words, Nightmare raised her hand, revealing a mouth on the back of her hand, and used this technique on Kurohime.

Seeing that something was wrong, Tanjiro immediately rushed forward.

"The breath of water, the form of picking up, the ever-flowing cycle."

A wave appeared, and a magnificent blue light effect formed a gigantic dragon. Unaffected by the Nightmare Hypnosis Technique, Kurome seized the opportunity to memorize Tanjiro's attack.

Although it is a water form, it is not necessarily more difficult for her than the Insect Pillar's unique breathing technique.

The main reason is that Black Eyes is relatively small, making it easier for her to use Insect Breathing, while she can only imitate Water Breathing in a simple way.

"No, I should go to sleep!"

Enmu used her magic on Kurome twice in a row, then quickly turned to Tanjiro who was rushing towards her.

"Go to sleep!"

It's of no use.

"Did you force yourself to commit suicide the moment you entered the dream, and then wake up?"

Perhaps due to her abilities, Nightmare immediately guessed what was going on.

Tanjiro's ability to do this is absolutely abnormal for a brat.

“My family is blaming me for not saving them and even telling me to die… How stupid of them! How could they say such things? Don’t insult my family!”

The knife severed the opponent's head completely, and blood splattered everywhere.

but……

"It doesn't feel right?"

Tanjiro's pupils contracted, and he quickly turned his head.

The other party was indeed unharmed, and instead said with a complicated feeling, "I finally understand why that person wanted to kill the Pillar and you, who were wearing earrings. How should I put it, your very existence is quite annoying."

At this point, he suddenly looked at Kuro-tomi.

"And you, you're far more dangerous than him. Why were you able to hurt me? This isn't my head anymore."

Because its body had completely merged with the train, disgusting flesh extended from below Nightmare's neck and connected to the train.

"I knew it would be like this, although I forgot the details before." Kuroko wasn't surprised.

"It doesn't matter anymore. This entire train is made of my flesh and blood, and the people on it are hostages I've prepared. Can you protect them?"

"not good."

Tanjiro was so anxious that he had a mental breakdown.

"What should we do? Inosuke, Zenitsu, Rengoku-san, everyone wake up! And Nezuko too... protect everyone who's sleeping."

He roared out those words.

The next instant, a wild boar suddenly jumped out.

"Explosive Awakening, Boar Charge, Inosuke-sama, you have graced us with your presence."

"Inosuke, quickly protect everyone! The whole vehicle has turned into a ghost."

Tanjiro's words did not stop the other party.

Inosuke roared, "Beast Breathing, Berserker Fangs!"

The attack began at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, attacks began in other parts of the carriage.

Kyojuro Rengoku jumped out of the carriage.

"Even ghosts have weaknesses. Let's find his head."

The scene was chaotic, and Nightmare quickly merged into the interior of the car.

Without saying a word, Kuroko cut through the "metal sheet" below with a single stroke and fell into the vehicle body.

They searched and destroyed everything along the way, as did the others. Soon, Kurohime spotted something that resembled a dragon bone.

Just as they were about to attack, they were suddenly surrounded by eyes.

"Forced Sleep - Eyes".

This ability has a bug; it allows people to fall asleep much faster, and every time they wake up, if they make eye contact with someone... they instantly fall asleep again.

But his Blood Demon Art is truly ineffective against Kurohime.

Similarly, for Tanjiro, who is prone to suicide, the power of dreams is negligible.

He rushed over, and sure enough, the moment their eyes met, he fell asleep. But in an instant, he woke up again.

After several repetitions, he even thought it was a dream and prepared to cut off his own head, but Inosuke grabbed him and pulled him back.

"This is not a dream, it's reality!"

Chapter 157 Nightmare and the Death of Akaza

Human consciousness is a mysterious thing. For example, mentally ill people may experience hallucinations that others cannot see. Such hallucinations may seem ridiculous and nonexistent to others, but they are very real in the eyes of mentally ill people.

Some people are highly sensitive to dreams and can become aware of their dreams without needing to practice. Others simply never remember having dreams and go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, as if a moment has passed in between.

In any case, Tanjiro's senses are exceptionally strong. Right now, in this carriage, he can easily withstand the constant hypnosis from the demons.

Knowing that this battle could not be delayed any longer, Kurohime began hacking at the dragon bone with her sword. Meanwhile, in her Yukino form, her true form also began to face Enmu's attacks, and was forced to summon X.

The mysterious heroine X's weapon doesn't have any special properties against demons, but that doesn't matter. As long as it's powerful enough to shatter the demon into countless pieces, I don't believe it can return to normal before sunrise.

Once Nightmare is exposed to sunlight, the outcome of this battle is sealed.

"At this moment, the interplay of light and darkness is at its strongest!"

Upon X's appearance, without saying a word, he immediately unleashed his ultimate attack, releasing his Noble Phantasm.

The moment the dual-wielding swords, one light and one dark, were unleashed, Nightmare felt an indescribable terror.

"What terrifying power this is."

It must be admitted that even without using a Nichirin Blade, when a person's power reaches its peak, these so-called powerful demons will feel fear.

When the power of the King's Way erupted, and X's Noble Phantasm shattered the entire train, cutting it into countless pieces, Enmu let out a painful scream.

"Why do you have such power?"

Tanjiro, overwhelmed by his emotions, activated the power of Hinokami Kagura: Azure Heaven.

Flames engulfed the shredded vehicle, and finally... Lower Moon One was reduced to a horrific, twisted mass of flesh. He glared at the people with fury and resentment, roaring, "Damn it, why, you wretched Demon Slayer Corps, why hasn't Lord Muzan eliminated you yet?"

"Because he's scared."

X landed gently about twenty or thirty meters away from the other party.

"He's not strong enough, so he can't do anything to us."

"That's right, Muzan is that weak."

Lord Flame Pillar charged out and launched a fatal attack on Nightmare.

The blazing flames of justice struck Nightmare's body, causing him to perish completely in his final wails.

X turned to look at Yanzhu, who was already injured.

In the original story, at this point, the Flame Pillar was about to die, which was something she naturally couldn't allow.

And so the nightingale appeared.

"Let me treat you."

Centered on her, everyone present felt an indescribable warmth, and then the healing light easily restored everyone's injuries in just a few simple treatments.

"This is..." Flame Pillar stared at his body in disbelief.

"They're all Su Lin's wives?" Zenitsu Agatsuma's eyes widened.

I feel that Zenitsu's line is the key point.

"Well, that's about it." Yukino flashed a smile, revealing her white teeth.

"Holy crap... This guy has way too many wives, is he trying to kill us all?"

Zenitsu was incredibly envious.

Just when everyone thought things would be easy, a strange man suddenly rushed out from a distance and punched Tanjiro.

"Breath of Flames, Second Form: Rising Flames!"

The Flame Pillar launched an immediate attack, its flames rising from the bottom of its blade to block the incoming strike.

The opponent sustained a minor injury and quickly retreated, but the injury disappeared in just a short moment.

"You recovered so quickly, are you Upper Moon?"

"Not bad, you look very strong. You must be a Pillar after all." The other party seemed very relaxed, indicating that the battle just now was no challenge for him.

"I am the Flame Pillar, Kyojuro Rengoku."

"As expected, I am Akaza, the Upper Moon Three. Why don't you become a demon with me? I..."

hum-

Before he could finish speaking, Hei Tong's petite body moved like a swallow, slashing down with an unimaginable speed.

The speed was so fast that even Upper Moon Three felt his hair stand on end and his body go cold when faced with such speed.

"neck……"

Half of his neck had already been severed, and in that instant, Kurohime's blade swung down again, giving him no time to react. Left with no other choice, Akaza clenched his fists and launched a counterattack.

But... Kurohime's speed was incredibly fast. Before he could even activate his Blood Demon Art, the petite girl had already struck him with her second blow.

His arm flew off, and his neck was broken in two.

"I don't know if the weapon has become more powerful or if I have become stronger. Upper Moon Three is nothing special."

Kurohime prepared to kill the opponent completely, and then activate the effect of Hachifusa to make him her first victim.

It's unclear whether Muzan will still be able to sense it after becoming a puppet of the Eighth Chamber. If so, the only option is to throw him into the sun and burn him to death.

"You, even my supreme domain couldn't react in time."

Akaza can see in all directions, reaching every blood vessel; he calls this the Supreme Realm. Just as he can predict, he can avoid attacks from any direction in advance.

It was precisely because of this ability that he was able to become Upper Moon Three and possess the power to easily defeat his enemies.

But this time, facing a girl in her teens, he found it difficult to handle.

"Sorry, I'll take your head."

Without uttering a word, Kurohime revealed a slightly sly smile on his snow-white face. Hachifusa lightly sliced ​​across his neck, then cut him in two.

However, Upper Moon demons are not so easily killed.

So Kuroko kept finishing off the opponent without stopping, so fast that the opponent didn't even have time to recover.

"Hey, you fool, you'll become my puppet!"

As death drew near, the curse of the Imperial Arms began to take effect, and Akaza experienced an indescribable sense of terror. His eyes widened, his expression one of disbelief.

With the added effect of +10 to the Demon's Fury, his life was finally completely exhausted on the 99th strike.

Even the head, which had been almost chopped into mincemeat, began to fuse together after death.

"He's recovered again! Oh no, is he still alive?" Tanjiro exclaimed in alarm.

"No, wait, he's already dead. Now he's my puppet."

Kurohime smiled, and Akaza naturally stepped in front of her to protect her.

“I can control the enemies I kill, but now it seems... even Muzan can't control the demons I control.”
