Demon Slayer: The Second God Who Walks the Earth

Akaza, who only has one right eye left, looked at Chiba Yo passing by him in disbelief.

Akaza and Doma, both Upper Moons, were also broken through by Chiba Yo in an instant. One of them even suffered almost irreparable injuries in the instant of the fight, while the other, although he was hit hard by his ally, was spared from being affected by Chiba Yo's attack.

So, Lord Akaza wanted to save me... even at the cost of his own life, he forced me to a safe area...

On the other side, upon seeing Akaza's injured body, Doma couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion, even though he had never had any before.

After forcing Akaza back, Chiba Yang did not press his advantage against the two Upper Moons. They had already clearly defined their respective tasks, and even if he could kill them in one move, there was no need to continue. The most important thing in tonight's decisive battle was to eliminate Muzan, and Chiba Yang's only target was Muzan.

Even just one more move would allow Muzan to escape a greater distance, and there would be more unforeseen events.

"Muzan, you can't escape!"

Having broken free from the influence of the other demons, Chiba Yo pursued Muzan with all his might, quickly closing the distance between them.

Upon hearing Chiba Yo's voice behind him, Muzan's panic intensified.

Not only is Chiba Yo chasing after him, but Muzan's body is also still affected by the drug. The human-transforming drug is constantly changing its cells. Although it can immediately devour those mutated cells, it still needs to allocate additional power, and the drug's effect of inhibiting cell division is still present.

Faced with this unbearable effect and virtually no solution, the only option was to try to break down all the drugs in his body.

Chapter 152 Who is disliked?

Are these guys all useless? How did he catch up with them so quickly?

Muzan cursed inwardly, puzzled that hundreds of Lower Moon demons couldn't hold off Chiba Yang for even a moment, especially since he had sent out his two remaining Upper Moon demons to block them, yet they were killed so quickly.

After devouring all of Doma's male followers, whom he had been feeding on, Muzan temporarily suppressed the adverse effects of the human-transforming drug. Turning his head, he saw Chiba Yo, who was about to catch up, and unleashed countless black blood thorns with sharp spikes from behind him.

Part of the Black Blood Thorn attacked Chiba Yang, while the other part was used by Muzan as a rope to bind the trees and other objects in front of it, helping it to escape quickly.

Facing the oncoming thorns, Chiba Yang wielded his Nichirin Blade. The flames wrapped around the blade burned the thorns as soon as they touched them, and none of them could hit Chiba Yang. While dealing with Muzan's attacks, Chiba Yang's speed did not decrease in the slightest.

Behind Chiba Yo, Akaza and Doma, after being repelled by Chiba Yo, were unable to immediately continue to stop him, because they were both blocked...

"That was a ghost, it looked like it had blood poured over its head..."

He wore a carefree smile, had a kind face, and spoke in a gentle tone.

That ghost... its weapon... was a pair of sharp iron fans..."

Upon arriving at the Infinity Castle, Shinobu Kocho immediately focused her attention on Doma. The numbers in Doma's pupils made her recognize him as Upper Moon Two.

Its appearance also reminded her of Kanae's dying words.

Looking at Doma holding an iron fan, Shinobu Kocho realized that all the characteristics matched up and she was certain that he was the demon who had killed her sister.

"You are... the murderer who killed my sister!!!"

Veins bulged on Shinobu's forehead; her anger was unbearable. She drew her slender, light Nichirin Blade and instantly closed in on Doma with her equally agile body, then thrust it straight at his eye.

Insect Breathing, Bee Fang Dance, Truly Exquisite!

Although her strength is the worst among the pillars, Shinobu Kocho's speed ranks among the top in the pillars.

Still moved by Akaza's actions, Doma didn't notice Shinobu's attack. Shinobu pierced his left eyeball, and the wisteria poison was injected into his body through her Nichirin Blade.

"Oh dear, someone is attacking me, and it's a Pillar. It seems I can't help Muzan-sama stop that boy after all. I've already been blocked."

Doma feigned helplessness and muttered to himself, ignoring even the others who ran past to support Chiba Yo, such as Sanemi, Genya, and Tanjiro. Instead, he smiled and said to Shinobu Kocho in front of him, "What a sharp piercing! It pierced my eyeball in an instant!"

However, despite its praise, it acted swiftly, steadying itself and instantly slashing at Shinobu Kocho with its iron fan in its right hand.

Blood Demon Art: Lotus Leaf Ice!

The lotus-shaped ice crystals condensed, enough to dissipate the chill that freezes a person.

Just when Shinobu thought she couldn't avoid the cold air and would have to endure it, a figure appeared in front of her.

Water Breathing Land Form O Twisting Vortex

The upward spiral of water blocked the cold air emitted by the lotus-shaped ice crystals, and in the swirling water was a person wearing a haori with different patterns on each side.

"Don't be impulsive. We have the numerical advantage, so there's no need to fight them head-on."

Giyu's facial expression remained unchanged, but his language skills were much better than usual. At least, he no longer made people angry after hearing his words. Perhaps he had changed because he was in a fighting state.

Mr. Tomioka...

The figure in front of me still looked as cold as ever, but what he said wasn't as unacceptable as before.

With Giyu's help, Shinobu Kocho managed to land on the ground. When she looked up, she saw Kanao looking at her with concern.

"Master... let's join forces to avenge Kanae!"

Kanao naturally knew about Kanae's situation; in fact, Shinobu Kocho had previously consulted with her about how to kill the demon that killed Kanae.

For a long time, Shinobu Kocho had been ingesting wisteria flower poison in order to kill the demon with her own body, but now that her side has sufficient combat power, this method is no longer necessary.

Looking into Kanao's expectant and dependent eyes, Shinobu's heart trembled. She had once relied on her older sister just as Kanao had relied on her.

Thinking back to how she and her sister bought Kanao together and raised her, Shinobu Kocho calmed down.

She stood up, smiled, and nodded to Kanao. Then, the two of them turned their gazes toward Doma in front of them.

Uzui Tengen had already launched his attack and was engaged in a spectacular battle with Doma, while Inosuke had also arrived.

"Mr. Tomioka, you do say things that aren't annoying sometimes, thank you."

After saying something to Giyuu, Shinobu Kocho and Kanao rushed forward together.

Giyu was somewhat confused by a remark made by Shinobu Kocho.

Was I... really that annoying when I said that?

A thought flashed through his mind, but the current situation didn't allow Giyu to think it through, and he quickly joined the battle.

Blood Demon Art: Crystal Maiden

Faced with being surrounded by multiple people, Doma waved his pair of fans, and two small ice figures that looked exactly like him materialized, each holding an ice fan shaped like the iron fan Doma was holding.

One of the two little ice figures blocked Tengen, and the other blocked Kanao.

"Ah~ This poor Mr. Tomioka, is he actually disliked by others?"

It seems you haven't gotten along well with your companions. Unlike me, I'm polite to my fellow animals and know how to care for them, which has won me the affection of all my companions!

Doma had just overheard what Shinobu Kocho said to Giyu, and he showed a sympathetic expression towards Giyu. At this moment, the toxin that Shinobu Kocho had just injected into his body had been broken down.

At this moment, Shinobu Kocho and Giyu arrived together. Another small ice figure that looked exactly like Doma was created by him. With a wave of his ice fan, ice crystals like mist attacked Shinobu Kocho.

Blood Demon Art: Frozen Cloud

The ice figures created by Doma can also use his Blood Demon Art, and their power is almost the same as Doma's own.

"Careful! Don't inhale too many ice crystals! Otherwise, you'll have difficulty breathing!"

Upon seeing the situation, Tengen spoke up to warn Shinobu.

Upon hearing this, Shinobu Kocho quickly avoided the patch of icy mist.

Giyu had already reached Doma's true form, and his Nichirin Blade, wrapped in water, slashed at it.

Water Breathing First Form O Water Surface Slash

Doma quickly raised his iron fan to block Giyu's attack.

"It's you who's being disliked, not me."

Chapter 153 Douma's Strength

Giyuu strongly disagreed with Doma's words. Although Shinobu's words had made him somewhat doubtful, he believed that he was far from being disliked by his comrades.

Water Breathing Fourth Form O Strike Tide

While verbally retaliating, Giyu swung his Nichirin Blade forward, unleashing a series of tidal slashes at Doma.

Blood Demon Art: Withered Garden and Falling Snow

Faced with Giyu's attack, Doma swung his two iron fans, unleashing a series of slashes mixed with frost that blocked all of Giyu's attacks. The cold air spread to Giyu's arms, where a layer of frost condensed.

"How pathetic! You don't even realize you're being disliked, and you're so jealous that you say I'm the one who's being disliked. Seeing you like this makes me want to cry with pity~"

Doma looked at Giyu sadly, and actually shed two tears.

In its view, Yiyong is escaping reality, afraid to admit the truth, and even jealous to the point of attacking it.

"Are you out of your mind? Your partner just smashed your head in. Is that how you show your love? My partner, on the other hand, often has friendly sparring sessions with me."

So you're the one who's being disliked.

Although he had noticed the coldness in his arm, Giyu remained expressionless and once again demonstrated his excellent language skills.

The human and the ghost argued about who was the one disliked by their companion, each believing that the other was the one who was disliked, and that they were clearly loved by everyone (the ghost).

Shinobu Kocho, who was fighting Doma's Ice Man nearby, felt that the two were indeed somewhat similar in this respect.

Just as Giyu and Doma were fighting and exchanging barbs, Inosuke, wearing a boar headgear, arrived.

"Hahahaha! Charge forward like a pig! Half-and-half aoboro, I'm here to help you too!"

With a shout, Inoue's assistant leaped into the air and slashed at Doma with both swords simultaneously.

"Beast Breathing: Fang of the Fourth Generation - Shattering Slash!"

The two swords crossed, and multiple slashes rushed towards Doma at the same time, the cold light of the blades tinged with a hint of blue.

"Ah, an interesting boy has arrived."

Doma showed some surprise at Inosuke's arrival. He waved his iron fan, and several ice vines wrapped with ice lotus flowers grew from his body, then wrapped around Giyu and Inosuke.

"These vines are so annoying! Watch me chop them all to pieces! Beast Breathing, Fifth Fang - Frenzied Tear!"

Inosuke was still in the air, his body twisting and swinging, his twin swords unleashing multiple slashes, shattering the ice vines that were binding him into ice shards that fell to the ground.

However, the instant he landed, a sharp iron fan slashed down at his head.

Inosuke, who was shirtless, instantly felt Doma's attack. He leaned back, put his head on the ground, and easily made a human bridge pose, thus dodging Doma's attack.

At this moment, Giyu also took the opportunity to slash at Doma. Doma was unable to dodge in time and was cut in the abdomen. However, he reacted and took two steps back to avoid the subsequent attacks from the two.

"Wow, what incredible flexibility! By the way, is that boar head your mask? It's really unique!"

Doma, who was struck by Giyu, was neither alarmed nor angry. Instead, he smiled and praised Inosuke.

Although it felt its wounds were healing more slowly than usual, it was not shocked by it.

Then it waved its iron fan, and two ice lotuses in the form of young girls appeared, gently opening their delicate mouths and exhaling a large amount of cold air towards Inosuke and the others.

"Hiss—it's so cold. These things should never be touched lightly."

Upon seeing this, Inosuke and Giyu immediately retreated, but just as they were retreating, a figure appeared in front of Inosuke.

Almost at the same moment the figure appeared, Giyu warned Inosuke, and at the same time he raised his Nichirin Blade and slashed at Doma with the water flowing around it.

Blood Demon Art: Scattered Lotus

Doma naturally noticed Giyu to the side as well. He waved his iron fan, and a large number of tiny ice petals rushed towards Giyu. The cold aura even made the water on his Nichirin Blade seem to want to freeze.

At the same time, he grabbed Inosuke's hood with his other hand, then calmly stepped back, revealing a beautiful face.

Doma's Blood Demon Art is extremely effective against swordsmen who use breathing techniques, and its moves are very effective in dealing with group battles.

Each time the Blood Demon Art is cast, the tiny ice crystals left in the air weaken the swordsman using breathing techniques, preventing them from using their full power, otherwise their lungs would suffer enormous damage.

Furthermore, its numerous wide-range Blood Demon Techniques, coupled with the Crystal Child technique which can create ice clones nearly as strong as itself, make it fearless in group battles. If it cannot be suppressed and killed quickly with absolute power, its advantage will grow stronger over time.

"It really is a mask or something~ But... I feel like I've seen your face somewhere before~"

Doma looked at Inosuke's face while holding the boar head mask and felt that it looked very familiar.

"Give me back my hood right now! And I don't remember ever seeing you, you maggot, anywhere before!"

Inosuke was furious when he saw Doma holding his headgear and roared at it.

This hood held extraordinary significance for him, and the fact that it was now in the hands of someone he loathed filled him with rage.

"I didn't expect that you would not only be disliked by people but also be unaware of it, and even more so, you like to talk nonsense."

Seeing this, Yiyong rolled his eyes and looked at Domo, saying...

Upon hearing Giyu's words, Doma adopted an angry posture and retorted, "Nonsense? How could that be? I think you're the one who likes to talk nonsense."

My memory is amazingly good; I remember things from the human era perfectly!
