Demon Slayer: The Second God Who Walks the Earth

I'll find it for you right now!

After saying that, Doma suddenly bit his fan and stuck his right index finger into his temple. Blood flowed down his cheek from the wound, but he seemed not to feel any pain and did not react at all.

"Disgusting!"

Inosuke was genuinely disgusted by this, so shocked that he was almost speechless, and Giyu felt much the same way.

Gen Otsuka and Kanao, who were fighting against Doma's ice clone, were also disgusted by its actions, but their battle was equally difficult, so they didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Hmm—hmm? I've got it! I remember now, it was 15 years ago, I didn't expect it to be so recent~"

After physically searching through the area, Douma finally found the memory he was looking for.

"A woman once came to me with her baby. She said that her husband beat her every day, and her mother-in-law always bullied her."

After all, the Eternal Bliss Church I founded provides refuge for such pitiful people—so she came knocking on my door.

Chapter 154 Mother...

"She has neither parents nor siblings, so she has no one to rely on."

When we first met, she had been beaten so badly that she was unrecognizable. This shows how ruthless her husband and mother-in-law were.

Doma twirled the boar head mask in his hand as he spoke to Inosuke. Inosuke stopped in his tracks upon hearing Doma's words, as if some fragments of his memory were surfacing, and a figure vaguely appeared in his mind.

"At the time, she had already lost sight in one eye due to the beating, but her appearance returned to normal after healing. That beautiful face left a deep impression on me."

And that face looks exactly like yours, only more slender and with a softer expression.

"Mmm~ I'm sure it's your mom~"

Doma nodded in self-affirmation, looking at Inosuke in front of him. Kotoha's appearance appeared in his mind, her face exactly the same as Inosuke's.

Although a figure vaguely appeared in his mind, it was too blurry for Inosuke to recognize. His most vivid childhood memory was of the wild boar that raised him.

"I don't have a mother! I was raised by a wild boar!! So it has nothing to do with me!"

Inosuke shouted loudly at Doma, saying that he currently had no memory of his birth mother, or more precisely, he had not yet recalled her.

The bloody battle on Spider Mountain that day brought back a fleeting memory of his infancy, which had nearly killed him. However, as he regained consciousness, that memory gradually faded.

Hearing Inosuke's words, Doma was speechless at the child's silliness. He unfolded his iron fan and asked Inosuke, "Was it a wild boar that gave birth to you? Since you are human, you must have come from your mother's womb, right?"

Also, it's not a good idea to launch a sneak attack while someone is talking!

After speaking, Doma looked to his side, where Giyu's Nichirin Blade revealed a dragon's head formed by flowing water. The dragon's head seemed to let out a loud roar, and the winding water trails left in the air resembled the body of a giant dragon.

The breath of water, in its ever-flowing form!

The power of the continuous flow of life, rotating more than ten times, was already considerable, and the water dragon attacked Doma with tremendous force.

"Blood Demon Technique, Mist Ice, Sleeping Lotus Bodhisattva".

The technique used to block Chiba Yang was used again, and although its power seemed slightly less, it was still a behemoth to Giyu and his companions.

"It seems you not only enjoy slandering others, but you also lack any sense of martial ethics."

Doma looked at Giyuu and said to him with an angry expression.

The water dragon crashed into the giant Bodhisattva Ice Man, nearly severing its waist. However, at that moment, the Bodhisattva Ice Man's giant hand swung down, and a hand blade wrapped in ice crystals was about to cleave its body.

He vanished in an instant, then rolled backward to dodge the giant ice man's hand strike. The whole ordeal left Giyu somewhat exhausted, not to mention the tiny ice crystals that filled the air and were constantly assaulting his body.

"Give my things back!!!"

At that moment, Ino's assistant rushed forward with two swords, trying to snatch back her hood.

Upon seeing this, Giyu disregarded his own strength and charged at Doma once again.

"At least let the other person finish speaking. You demon hunters are really rude~"

Doma dodged Inosuke's attack by sidestepping, and his iron fan nearly slashed across Inosuke's stomach, but Giyu blocked the attack.

However, the giant Ice Bodhisattva was not completely destroyed at this time, or rather, it was only slightly damaged. After Giyu's attack cut off a part of its body, the Ice Bodhisattva lost its balance and tilted to one side. At the same time, it spat out ice crystals from its mouth, attacking Giyu and Inosuke.

Giyu, who had blocked Doma's attack, was now finding it difficult to dodge, and his shoulder was hit by the ice crystal wave, forming a layer of solid ice.

Inosuke had already reacted by then, and pulled Giyu back quickly, thus avoiding being affected by the subsequent attacks.

"Half-Half Haori! Are you alright?!"

Inosuke asked Giyu with concern. Giyu shook his head, got up and moved his frozen shoulder a little, but the pain made him groan.

By switching the Nichirin Blade to his other hand, the power of his sword techniques would decrease, but his other arm would be temporarily unusable. In this short period of time, Giyu saved the two men.

"Actually, I never had the idea of ​​eating your mother back then."

Having kind-hearted people around is truly a delightful experience!

It's a pity your mom is a bit slow-witted—but she's really beautiful and sings exceptionally well!

She often holds you and sings, but she never sings lullabies. Instead, she repeatedly hums the line, "Pinky promise, forever."

After forcing Giyu and Inosuke to retreat, Doma once again cheerfully told Inosuke about his mother, Kotoha.

Inosuke, who had no prior recollection of the voice, suddenly heard a gentle and melodious voice in his mind.

"Pinky promise, for a hundred years, never to be broken!"

Mom made a promise to you that she would protect you even if she were all alone until you grew up.

I'm sorry, Inosuke...

Mom knows this will make you feel lonely, and Mom will protect you for Dad's sake as well.

Even if it costs her life... Mom will definitely... protect Inosuke..."

Sweat poured from Inosuke's body, and along with that gentle voice, a blurry face appeared in his mind.

As the voice grew clearer, the face became more and more real, eventually appearing completely.

She was an extremely beautiful woman, with a face almost identical to Inosuke's. She had long, jet-black hair, and her gentle eyes were full of love. She was looking at him with those loving eyes, and Inosuke knew that her gaze was fixed on him...

For some reason, Inosuke, who had always been strong and only shed tears when he was seriously injured and nearly died after Kyojuro risked his life to protect them, felt as if tears were about to flow from his eyes.

"And the lyrics to her 'Pinky Promise' song are different every time!"

She even sang a tanuki song once, which turned into a tanuki song! It was so cute!

Doma continued to chat with Inosuke about Kotoha while still smiling.

"I originally intended to keep her by my side until she passed away peacefully..."

But even though your mother, Kotoha, isn't very bright, her senses are incredibly sharp...

She found out about my eating of believers not long after...

No matter how I explained, she couldn't understand my good deed.

She started cursing at me, saying I'd been deceiving everyone, and then she grabbed you and ran away from the temple I'd opened…

Chapter 155 The score is complete!

"I never imagined she would get lost afterward, carrying you to the edge of a cliff, and then throwing you, still an infant, off from that height. She was still so foolish until the very end..."

But don't worry, I ate it all up, not even a single bone was left!

Even after returning home, she would still be abused by her husband and mother-in-law, and after getting lost in the wilderness, she and her child would die in misery.

How unfortunate was Kotoha's life!

Did she ever have any happy times? What a meaningless life she lived!

Doma smiled and said to Inosuke with narrowed eyes, his tone seemingly full of regret.

"I'm sorry, Inosuke... I'm so sorry..."

The figure that appeared in Natagumoyama's mind when he was dying reappeared, and her face became clearer, with tears in her eyes, sad and reluctant to part.

She then released her grip, her figure gradually shrinking in sight, and what Inosuke felt next was the icy river water.

"My Inosuke is so cute~ His chubby little hands~ His warm little face~ My priceless treasure~ With you by my side, Mommy is so happy~"

As his childhood memories gradually resurfaced, Inosuke's anger continued to rise, with veins bulging on his arms and cheeks, and his body even trembling with rage.

"It's a fucking miracle that I ran into you here..."

Thank God! I just happened to run into you, you bastard who murdered your own mother!

With his jaw clenched and eyes blazing with fury, Inosuke raised his Nichirin Blade and pointed it at Doma.

"I have to thank you for reminding me of all this! But cutting off your neck isn't enough to express my gratitude!"

I'm going to show you what real hell is like!

Looking at the furious Inosuke before him, Doma still had a smile on his face.

"Even though she was raised by wild boars, she speaks human language quite well~"

Doma spoke to Inosuke.

Just as it was about to chat with Inosuke and the others a few more times, a sudden change occurred. One of its Crystallized Children was shattered, and the opponent of that clone was none other than the Sound Hashira, Uzui Tengen.

"Hahahaha! The chart is complete! I've seen through all your dirty tricks! Get ready for a glorious death!"

The Sound Pillar laughed and shouted at Doma. The ice figure in front of him had been completely shattered. As he finished shouting, an eighth note mark appeared on his left forehead.

As his unique skill, the chart allows him to anticipate his opponent's moves once it is completed, transforming the rhythm of the opponent's attacks into musical notes. Tengen will be able to see through the opponent's attack habits and blind spots.

Just like adding chords to a song, you can create an effective attack by targeting gaps in the melody.

The effect of the chart is somewhat similar to that of the Transparent World. Such a powerful effect also has demanding conditions for its execution: Tengen must engage in a long battle with the enemy to study and judge the rhythm of the enemy's attack movements.

Weak enemies have no use for the chart, while powerful enemies cannot last long enough to complete the chart. The limitations of the chart mean that Tengen rarely has the opportunity to use this ability.

Today's situation can be described as a perfect opportunity. The ice man created by Doma can be said to have completely inherited his attack habits and moves, but it is not as powerful. Doma himself also has other companions to help him defend, which can be said to be the perfect time to complete the chart.

Originally, if Tengen had activated his mark directly, he could have immediately destroyed this clone, but he did not choose to do so, precisely because he wanted to use this clone to complete the chart.

He flew to Shinobu's side, while another ice clone brandished an ice fan and attacked Tengen.

With his left hand holding a knife, he blocked the ice fan, while the other knife in his right hand turned crimson and then struck the ice clone directly on the neck.

The deafening explosion rang out, and the ice figure resembling a doma was blasted to pieces.

"Let's take down this scumbag in a spectacular fashion!!!"

As the fastest of the original nine pillars, after taking down the ice man in front of Shinobu Kocho, he instantly appeared in front of Kanao, just as if he had completely anticipated her movements, and defeated her with a single blow during the gap in her attack.

"That's quite an amazing ability!"

Seeing this, Doma's attention was also drawn to it, and he put on a shocked expression and spoke.

"You bastard!!!"

At that moment, Inosuke quickly approached Doma and swung his Nichirin Blade when he was still some distance away.

"You can't hit me from this far away!"

Upon hearing the sound and noticing the distance between them, Doma smiled and spoke to Inosuke, without even using his iron fan to defend himself.

However, the next moment, the blade, which was originally some distance away from Doma, suddenly lengthened, and the pitted blade sliced ​​across Doma's left ear and then came out from the other side, severing half of Doma's head.

Beast Breathing: Ninth Fang stretches out, meandering and bursting open!

At this moment, Inosuke extended his right arm in a bizarre posture, dislocating his joint in an instant to increase his slashing range, and this move did indeed have a good effect.

"To actually dislocate one's own joints, that's really reckless!"

Doma now understood why the attack had worked, and while regenerating the other half of his head, he spoke to Inosuke.

However, before it could regenerate, five figures had already surrounded it simultaneously.

The breath of water, in its ever-flowing form!

Giyu had once again prepared his Rinnegata form, and Suiryu roared in Doma's direction.

Insect Breathing, Dragonfly Dance, Compound Eyes with Hexagonal Horizontal Dimensions!

Shinobu Kocho activated the mechanism on her Nichirin Blade, causing the toxins within the blade to change, with a large amount of toxins accumulating and ready to be released.

Flower Breathing Type 5: Fruitless Peony!

Kanao wielded her Nichirin Blade, and red and white slashes converged from all directions in one direction, like peony petals.
