Demon Slayer: The Second God Who Walks the Earth

Then, as if it remembered something, it suddenly laughed.

"Speaking of which, it seems that guy misunderstood some things."

The child who died in the temple wasn't trying to escape; he wanted to help him fight the ghost. I even saw that bald little ghost climb up to the window to reach the farm tools leaning against the outside, and then he died the next second, hahaha!

When I heard that this blind man no longer liked children, I almost died laughing. It's so ironic! It would be hilarious if the surviving Saday met him again and got his revenge, hahaha!

Kaigaku laughed wildly and revealed the whole truth of what happened back then.

"Enough...shut your mouth..."

Chiba Yo spoke to Kaigaku.

However, Kaigaku did not stop, and turned the conversation to Chiba Yo.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about you. You're even more blind and stupid than that old geezer. You're willing to mentor that good-for-nothing who only knows how to cry, but you're unwilling to mentor me, who has much higher talent."

And you were the one who told that blind man about my time in the Demon Slayer Corps, right?

You blind people who refuse to acknowledge my strength and talent are all evil!

I'll kill you first, then that blind man, then that stupid master and apprentice, and all the guys who mocked me!

I will execute you all one by one!

As Kaigaku spoke, he threw down the arm he was holding and slowly drew his Nichirin Blade.

"No matter what you say, it's meaningless. A lonely death is the best end for you..."

Chiba Yo looked at Kaigaku and said, his eyes devoid of color at this moment, endless anger surging through his mind and even making him feel dizzy.

This was the most disgusting, even nauseating, person he had ever met since he came into this world, not even inferior to Muzan.

"I see you're all talk now, I'm not the same person I used to be!"

Now that I've become a demon, I'm countless times stronger than I was back then. Even you, as a Pillar, can't match me!

You only defeated Lower Moon Two, while I am now Upper Moon Six!

"Killing you will grant me a reward from that lord, making me even stronger!"

Kaigaku drew his weapon from his waist, the dark gold blade covered with black lightning patterns.

When it went to succeed the Upper Moon Six, Muzan also sent it an image of Chiba Yo and asked it to kill Chiba Yo. Because it saw that Muzan was in a bad mood at the time, it did not dare to ask why.

However, it was quite happy with this task, as it perfectly aligned with its own thoughts, making it once again marvel at how making a ghost was the right choice.

"I remember you never seemed to have mastered the First Form of Thunder Breathing, did you?"

Chiba Yo placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword and looked at Kaigaku, asking calmly.

This sentence directly enraged Kaigaku, as the fact that he didn't know the First Form had always been a source of anxiety for him.

"Even if I can't kill you with the First Form, that's enough! Thunder Breathing, Second Form: Inari Soul!"

Enraged by these words, Kaigaku charged directly at Chiba Yo and launched an attack. Five lightning-shaped strikes were unleashed the instant he activated his breathing technique. The lightning, now black due to the Blood Demon Art, would tear apart the opponent's skin and inflict a continuous burning pain upon impact.

Compared to that guy, this guy poses absolutely no threat to me; his strength is definitely mediocre!

Kaigaku looked at Chiba Yo and thought to himself.

"In that case..."

Chiba Yo remained standing there until Kaigaku's attack struck him, at which point his figure vanished in an instant.

What? That was fast!

The sinister smile on Kaigaku's face, which he thought had succeeded in his attack, froze at that moment, turning into shock.

Although Chiba Yo's figure disappeared from Kaigaku's sight, his voice did not.

"Then I'll let you die from the First Form of Thunder Breathing..."

Chapter 111 The Shortest-Lived Upper Moon

As Chiba Yo's voice faded, he appeared behind Kaigaku.

Bending down, switching his breathing technique, and gazing at Kaigaku ahead, Chiba Yo gripped the hilt of his Nichirin Blade, exhaling a white rainbow from his mouth.

"Thunder Breathing, First Form..."

Kaigaku also determined Chiba Yo's location based on his voice.

"Thunder Breathing, Land Form: Lightning Thunder!"

Centered on Kaigaku, countless black lightning-shaped slashes spread outwards, also affecting Chiba Yo.

However, Chiba Yo remained completely unfazed by the impending attack.

"Thunderbolt Flash, Swift Twelve-Hit Combo!"

As the Nichirin Blade was drawn, Chiba Yo's figure vanished once more, leaving only twelve golden bolts of lightning that pierced through Kaigaku's body in an instant. Due to the extreme speed, all twelve bolts of lightning remained, as if they had been unleashed simultaneously.

Kaigaku's attack didn't even touch Chiba Yo's clothes. He relied on his speed to completely pass through Kaigaku's wide-range attack and unleashed twelve slashes, all of which hit Kaigaku.

Chiba Yo sheathed his Nichirin Blade and appeared in front of Kaigaku with his back to him, then turned around to look at him.

The next instant, Kaigaku's body suddenly shattered, splitting into thirteen parts by the twelve slashes, with only its head remaining intact.

How is this possible! How could the First Form of Thunder Breathing be this powerful! Isn't that the basic sword form of Thunder Breathing?

Kaigaku's head began to fall, the rotating perspective making it somewhat disoriented. All its emotions transformed into shock at that moment; it had never imagined that the First Form, which it had failed to master, would be so powerful.

His mood was immediately replaced by anger and resentment.

Damn it! That old geezer must have held back; he must have been biased! He taught that powerful First Form to that good-for-nothing! And gave me the rest of the useless sword techniques!

"Damn it! You all deserve to die! Kuwajima Jigoro, Agatsuma Zenitsu, Himejima Gyomei, Chiba Yo, you villains who harmed me all deserve to die!"

Kaigaku roared loudly, its head crashing to the ground with its roar, its body fragments burned away.

Looking at the furious Kaigaku, Chiba Yo said calmly, "Eleven of these twelve slashes are given to you on behalf of those who are truly kind to you: the other eight children in the temple, Mr. Himejima, Mr. Kuwajima, and Zenitsu."

These eleven strikes did not kill you; they merely tore your body apart.

Since you don't feel that they have done you any favors, then I will erase their kindness from your life.

Without them, you couldn't have grown so strong, you couldn't have acquired all these skills. All you truly own is this head of yours, and yet that head is filled with nothing but garbage.

"This final blow is mine. Since you chose to join the ranks of the demons, you deserve to be killed by me. Perhaps you're not ready for this yet, but it was your own choice."

Chiba Yo could unleash even more techniques with Thunder Breathing First Form, but there's no need to use them to kill this piece of trash.

Kaigaku's head also began to dissipate, and even now it has no idea that it made a mistake.

“You…are all…evil…you all deserve to die…”

The newly promoted Upper Moon demon, Riku Kaigaku, died after serving less than a week, or more accurately, six days. Excluding the day it took him to become a demon, he was promoted to Upper Moon in two weeks. Six days later, he encountered Chiba Yo and was killed in one move.

Ashes dissipated between heaven and earth, Kaigaku appeared in a place filled with a sea of ​​fire.

Gazing at the sea of ​​fire before him, Kaigaku realized that he was already dead.

"Chiba Yo! I will curse you forever, until the day you die and are cast into hell!!!"

Kaigaku trembled all over, and its extreme resentment made it roar furiously in this open space.

After calming down a bit, Kaigaku looked around.

Is this place hell?

The fact that this place didn't resemble paradise at all puzzled Kaigaku.

"There must be a mistake, right? How could I possibly go to hell? Everything I did was 'good,' so even if I die, I should go to heaven."

After muttering to himself for a while, Kaigaku began shouting to his surroundings, "Hey! Is anyone there? Who's in charge of this place? You must have made a mistake, I shouldn't be here! Hey!!!"

After calling out for a while, there was no response.

Kaigaku became furious again: "Damn it! Even here, all we find are blind fools! You all deserve to die!!"

Thunder Breathing, Fifth Form: Thunder of the Heat Realm!

Kaigaku drew its weapon, intending to use its breathing technique, but despite making the right sound, it was unable to execute any moves.

"What happened? My power, where did my power go?"

Kaigaku became terrified, staring at his hands with an expression of disbelief on his face.

The knife in its hand disappeared in the next instant.

"My sword!!" Faced with the bizarre situation before him, Kaigaku was helpless and could only express his dissatisfaction by roaring.

"Who did this?! You cowardly coward! Show yourself right now! I'm going to kill you!!"

In the empty place, no one responded; it could only hear its own frustrated voice.

After a while, Kaigaku finally got tired and lay down in the area without flames. However, as soon as he lay down, he noticed something was wrong. His once strong arms had become thin and weak.

Kaigaku stared wide-eyed, finding it hard to believe what was happening. It tried to stand up, but found its body weak and struggled to do so.

It then discovered that not only its arms, but its once robust body had shrunk as if it had shrunk, becoming skin and bones.

It still looks like a ghost, but its strength is now even less than that of an ordinary human.

At this moment, Kaiyue was filled with fear. It dared not continue to roar and knelt down with a thud.

"Whoever it is, please give me back my power! Please give me back my power! Please... huff... huff..."

At first, Kaigaku could still shout a few words, but soon it ran out of strength and started panting heavily.

Hunger and exhaustion were feelings it had long forgotten. Ever since being taken in by Xingming, even when Xingming himself was hungry, he would make sure to feed the children first. After becoming Kuwajima Jigoro's apprentice, it was even less likely to go hungry.

If it weren't for Gyomei and Kuwashima Jigoro, a child like Kaigaku would probably have grown up to look like he does now.

As Chiba Yo said, the kindness others had shown it, things it had never been aware of before, are now being taken away one by one...

Just as Kaigaku knelt down, a voice rang out from in front of him.

"Hey, isn't this the kid I worked with back then? You really did come here, and it seems you've become a ghost like me..."

Chapter 112 Brother Crow

Upon hearing the voice, Kaigaku raised his head in confusion, and a familiar-looking demon appeared in front of him.

It has two horns on its head and a robust physique.

"You...you are the ghost that was outside the temple back then!"

Although he didn't recognize its appearance immediately, its words reminded Kaigaku of the demon's identity.

"I didn't expect you to still remember me, kid. It's because of you that I encountered that humanoid monster! He beat me alive from night until dawn! I should have just eaten you!" The horned demon roared angrily at Kaigaku.

Even after going to hell, the fear and pain of that time will remain deeply etched in its heart.

It didn't realize that a human, whose physique was far smaller than its own, could possess such immense strength until Xingming pinned it to the ground and smashed it to pieces.

In its heart, it was precisely because Kaigaku did not tell it this information that it suffered such torment.

In hell, it waited for Kaigaku, knowing that he would fall into hell just like it, but it never expected him to be a demon.

Then the horned demon laughed again.

"But it's fine as it is now. I believe that with your personality, the crimes you've committed won't be easy for you to leave here. I'll take good care of you from now on."

The horned demon chuckled sinisterly a few times and slowly walked towards Kaigaku.

"You think you can bully me? I'm Upper Moon Six! I could kill a mere brat like you with ease!"

Kaigaku roared at the Horned Demon, not to be outdone. Although it sounded imposing, its panting and frail body made its words sound like a joke.

"Hahahaha! Are you trying to make me laugh to death? You? Upper Moon Six? Hahahaha, don't make me laugh! A piece of trash like you dares to call yourself Upper Moon Six?"

I'll show you right now who's in charge!

The horned demon was amused by its words, and after laughing for a while, it clenched its fist and punched Kaigaku viciously.

Kaigaku wanted to retaliate, but he didn't have the strength. The Horned Demon's fist landed on him and knocked him to the ground.

"Ah!" Kaigaku screamed as blood gushed from his face.

"I am going to kill you!"

The stark contrast in power enraged Kaigaku. Not long ago, he was an Upper Moon Six, someone he could easily deal with, even before becoming a demon, using his swordsmanship to kill. Yet now, he had been punched by such a minor character.
